The Bard | Walkthrough South Park: TSoT Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Along with your buddies go to Jimmy's house/Inn of the Giggling Donkey. Cartman points you to the basement to look for the Bard. When you find him, you will have to fight three elves. The Bard will boost them with his song, so it is best to start off with your most powerful area abilities. Do not hesitate to call for an ally, e.g. Jesus. If you cannot afford that, help yourself with performance boosts.
Once you beat them, you will have to get through to the exit. First, you may want to use the Cup-A-Spell that you have just learned so to quickly eliminate the elf on the right.
In order to leave the basement shoot at the window - there is Craig on its other side. On entering inside he gets hurt a little bit, so tell Butters to help him. Clear off the remaining elves and head upstairs.
Head to the kitchen. Pull down the lamp on the opponents so to make the fight easier. Once you defeat others, command Butters to heal Cartman. Head upstairs.
Before going upstairs you need to get through some more elves. Use the environment to get close to the door and let your companions in. To get upstairs, you will have to get through a tough opponent - a masked elf. He is resilient to magic and disgust effect. Moreover, he has a lot of HP and armour points, so use the most powerful single-strike attacks you have. It is of utmost importance to interrupt his spells. Butter's hammer is very useful for that purpose. Remember to keep replenishing Power Points (PP), so you could always use your buddy. After the tough fight. head upstairs.
Heroicly saving the princess cannot be too easy. So first, shoot the shelf, as shown at the screenshot. Use the mess you have caused to climb on the chest of drawers and from there shoot the lamp hanging over the bed. Then, shoot the purple-blue decoration on the wall so it forms a ladder, which you can use to climb on the dresser on the right. Up there use the wire to heroically rapple down at the bed and save the princess. Talk to Kenny and go outside.
Use Kenny's charms to get to the attic.
Use spells combined with lamps and candles to take down the enemies. Then shoot the chest on the right to make a hole in the floor, through which you can get to Jimmy's room on the lower floor.
Although Jimmy has a lot of HP and some dangerous abilities, he is not much of a challenge, as long as you are able to keep him stunned at all times. Ply him with abilities like Dragon Shout, Sleeping Powder, or Royal Kiss, so he was unable to do anything. If he summons rats, you can quickly get rid of them with Kenny's Furry Friends. Once the Bard is defeated you receive the Stick of Truth!
