Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor – Barrels and Fountains

Barrels

Scattered across Erathia, barrels contain different colored liquids that can boost your characters’ attributes or resistances. However, each barrel can only be used once before emptying. The barrels are replenished when their corresponding locations on the map respawn. Here’s a breakdown of each barrel’s color and corresponding effect:

Red Barrel: Drinking from a red barrel increases your character’s Might, boosting physical damage output.

Orange Barrel: Drinking from an orange barrel will raise your character’s Intellect, crucial for characters who rely on magic.

Blue Barrel: Blue barrels enhance your character’s Personality, vital for those who depend on spell points.

Green Barrel: Drinking from a green barrel boosts your character’s Endurance, thus increasing their health pool.

Yellow Barrel: A yellow barrel enhances Accuracy, making it easier to land hits.

Purple Barrel: Drinking from a purple barrel increases Speed, letting your character act more frequently.

White Barrel: A white barrel improves Luck, providing a variety of small bonuses in different areas.

Steaming Barrel: This barrel bolsters Fire Resistance, helping you withstand fire-based attacks.

Frosty Barrel: Enhances Water Resistance, increasing defense against water-based damage.

Shocking Barrel: Drinking from this will improve Air Resistance, shielding you against air-based offenses.

Dirty Barrel: Drinking from a dirty barrel enhances Earth Resistance, enabling you to resist earth-based damage.

Fountains

Primarily found in villages & towns, fountains offer a wide range of potential effects, both beneficial and detrimental, when consumed. Some fountains require certain conditions to be met to yield their effects. Be aware that the game doesn’t necessarily inform you about the specific effects of a fountain, so it can be a gamble to drink from them.

Considering the unpredictable effects of the fountains, you are advised to save your game before drinking from them. If the result is not as desired, you can reload your saved game to avoid any negative consequences.
