Nicholas vs Gavin

What are your opinions on Nicholas and Gavin?

Initially, I chose Gavin over Nicholas, but after finding Ava Oneye and Uthar asked me to teach Nicholas some manners, I thought it would be more important to the game that I did, so I kicked Gavin to the curb. I feel like that might have been kind of a mistake because Gavin has much more powerful magic and I think he would be more useful in battle. I know Nicholas has the lullaby which is useful, but his health spells don't do all that much. I don't know, maybe Gavin just looks better because I chose Nicholas (the grass is always greener).

Why can't we all just get along?!

You can go on the game maker's website and download something so they can stand to be near each other.

I pretty much always play with Nicholas in my party and never with Gavin. You're right in that he generally isn't very useful in battle, but I find he comes in really handy when fighting the snow wolves. His lullaby spell gets them to sleep quite well, and if I recall correctly (just about to reach that stage again now after not having played for a long time) his sunshine spell, which you can buy in Ever After, works well on them too. Without Nicholas, I seriously struggle getting past the wolves!

But Gavin can acquire the North Wind spell, which is one of the most effective attacks in the final battle.

And apparently you can marry him to Ava if you do certain things right.

Yeah, I just read that in anotehr thread too! Maybe I should play again and give Gavin another shot

I tried so very hard and for such a long time to....respect....Nicholas. Really !!!
But after that unfortunate incident with the beggar in Thais, I banished Nicholas to his room and galloped poste haste to woo Gavin back by my side.
Nicholas is assuredly the greatest healer in the land but the boy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag.

Gavin sounds like the better of the two. where do u find him in the game? I've been playing for a while and got to thais and got nicholas for the eris quest. Do you find gavin later or did i miss something earlier in the game?

He is later in the game. From where you are it is not too far. He is in town that is on a swamp. Don't remember the name of the town but it is full of witches. If you enter the forest on the right of Thais you will encounter two spiders from there go south until you are out in the world. You have to pass through the swamp area to get there.
