Might and Magic VII - Recommended Mods & Guide
Mods
GreyFace MM7 Patch (https://github.com/GrayFace/Misc/releases/) This mod provides a lot of bugfixes, updates, and graphic updates that will make the game work in HD and without having to be fullscreen. Highly recommended.
Installation: double click or click and hit enter on “MM7.Patch.v2.4.exe” or the relevant update version. It will not auto-detect your installation so please make sure to find your installation directory. In my case, that’s “C:\GOG Galaxy\Games\Might and Magic 7”. Once installed, you’re good to go!
MouseLook key settings (https://sites.google.com/site/sergroj/mm/MM7MouseLook.rar?attredirects=0) This provides settings for mouselook for MM7. This mod allows you to look around freely utilizing your mouse rather than pressing the PgUp and PgDown buttons.
Save Editor
Might and Magic 7 Save Editor (https://shrines.rpgclassics.com/pc/mm7/Extras/mm7che.exe) Find the game too hard? Salty about losing some items or gold? Enjoy cheating? This editor is pretty straight forward and allows you to manipulate all kinds of things about your characters. Always back up your saved games before using an editor.
Useful Guide Websites
Mike’s RPG Center (https://www.mikesrpgcenter.com/mm7/index.html) have used this website for over a decade now. Guides are limited to the light path of MM7.

Tips
Monster corpses may sometimes “stick” when you click them to loot. This is a very useful exploit for dragons and titans, especially the dragon on Emerald Isle. Save the game before looting, and then loot the dragon. If it disappears, reload. If it sticks, save again before looting it a second time. Repeat this as many times as you like to get infinite loot.
Fighting the dragon on Emerald Isle: run around him in circles in real time combat, pausing only when he’s moving to shoot him with a few arrows, spells, or wands. Run when he’s about to use his dragon breath attack again. It takes about five minutes, but he will die.
Getting the wand on Emerald Isle without committing to the deal with the peasant (Malwick) by the potions shop: go pull a bunch of fireflies (at least 10-15+) towards the top of the island nearby. Enough of them will kill the guard there. Run behind Malwick to block him so that he can’t run away, or if he goes too far, use the Y button to try to yell at him and force him back. The fireflies will kill him and his corpse will have the wand. This also works on the bard peasant by the inn with the lute you need for the contest. There is no reputation damage for this as long as you don’t personally hurt the peasants, so be careful not to hit them with attacks.
Change your options settings so that turning is “smooth” and you’re on “always run”. I also like to turn the tutorial off by clicking on the hireling and turning her off, but if you’ve never played before, you should probably leave it on.
Bonus
Love the card game acromage in MM7 but always wished you could play it without having to go through the beginning of the game to get the cards? Never fear! Some great creators have recreated the game as a web-based open source remaster. Play here: https://github.com/arcomage/arcomage-hd
If you’re having issues getting it to work correctly in your browser (I use firefox, for example, and it doesn’t love it), here is the desktop version: https://github.com/arcomage/arcomage-hd#desktop-version
