How to play and what character to choose, what armies to recruit and how to fight battles will not be included. These things can be found online and on the forums with a little searching effort on your part. The game is organized into 3 main parts or chapters - what I will call Phases (note: phase is my terminology to help organize this guide and not used in the game). There are three main phases, that when you complete a certain sequence of quests and events, the game teleports you to an island and things "reset" in terms of monsters and store inventory etc. Phase I runs from the beginning of the game until you fight a soothsayer named Runorm. After defeating Runorm, you are teleported to a new island, Greenwort, without any of your troops. This begins Phase II of the game. You essentially start over in the new land, although any uncompleted quests from previous islands are still doable. Phase III occurs when you defeat Guilford for the first time and are then teleported to Arlania, where Arlania has been reset. There are 125 quests in the game. The name of a couple of the quests depends upon which character you speak with first, so the name of the quest is different, but the two are mutually exclusive. quest. The quests in this guide are organized for each island area just as they are in the game Quest Log although they are not in any particular order in the guide. So this is not meant to be a step-by-step walkthrough. Many quests can be done at any time, in any order, and there are no time limits, even when the quest giver says you have to hurry. Some quests depend on you finishing another quest line, initiating certain events or talking to particular people for the quest to continue. I would recommend that you do some of the main quests initially, do some minor side quests to gain experience and level up, and then do some more of the main quests. Even though the game does not label quests as Main Quest or Side Quest, you most often can tell yourself which are which. Many of the quests will offer you the option of not accepting the quest, or attacking the quest giver right away. I would recommend that you take every quest just for the experience and rewards. That's the intent of playing the game anyway. In the guide, I've list all of the Progress notes for each quest in the approximate order you will undertake them. Be aware that in some of the more involved quests, you may get side-tracked by the game and undertake other quests. The numbering scheme for quests used in the guide (such as [51.1]) is mine and is not used in the game. Many of the text boxes and descriptions in the game have copious spelling errors and grammar mistakes and even mistakes in the context of the game where it might mention a character or location that does not exist in the game. When I have entered a passage verbatim in this guide, I have left the mistake intact and added a correction starting with (sic . . ). Sic' is the Latin word for thus' or such' and in editing, it is a way to indicate the error was that of the original author and not the editors (i.e., me). Also, you will find that many of the names of locations as seen on the overhead island map are not the same as the name of the location when you cursor over it on the adventure (travel or overland) map. I've tried to point this out in the guide and include both names, but I'm sure I've certainly missed some. You will get plenty of gold in this game so don't be too quick to sell items. You will receive companions (Valkyries) who can be leveled up by giving them weapons, armor, etc. When you hover your mouse over the description of the companion, there will be an indication of which item they require to level up (see Valkyrie Quest section of this guide). Once you have leveled them to level 4 with items, you can then sell or break-down any further items of that type. In addition, some items can be leveled-up or upgraded to be better or a more powerful item. This involves a battle with Gremlin Towers. While the Gremlin Tower battles can be difficult, you will gain valuable experience and a better item. Special items to not destroy or sell Things to not destroy or sell because they can be used in the game and there may be only one. The following items have a distinct purpose in the game, although the game's description may not make that clear. - Ink A bottle of Ink is required to complete a certain quest. You may obtain a bottle of ink from a chest or see it for sale in a shop before you are aware of its purpose. If it is in your inventory, keep it until the following quest becomes available - [102] Paper for the Professor. The ink is needed in Grotland by Professor Drotar. You can usually buy a bottle of ink from Ay Vaz the Orc who is in the Studio of Western Freedom Islands. - Old Shoes The Old Shoes can be used for getting the Mysterious Parcel later in the game. At the appropriate point, you can equip the shoes and talk to the Inn Keeper in Arlania to get the Mysterious Parcel. The Mysterious Parcel lets you buy every troop in the game besides undead, demons and neutral. The slight downside is they cost 3X the price of the original purchase of troops. I say slight downside because by the time you can use the Parcel, you will have tons of gold. You get to choose from Vikings, Humans, Elves, Dwarves or Orcs - Clay Pot (helm) The clay pot or bowl is used at the Dragon Lair in Verlon Wasteland. Normally, entering the dragon lair results in a battle with some dragons, which, of course, you may want to do for the XP. If you equip the clay bowl (it's a helmet) and then enter the Lair, you'll be able to talk to the dragon without fighting. It turns out the the pot on your head is an old password. He has some interesting things to say and then he will give you a free black dragon egg and you won't have to fight him. - Werewolf Skin You need the Werewolf Skin for the quest [96] Luxury Outfit in Riftland. You can acquire the Werewolf Skin during the quest the [99] Werewolf Killer in Riftland. Troops or items required for quests At times you need to be mindful of certain troops that may be in your army or items in your inventory that are required for certain quests. If you lose these troops during battles or sell the items, you may discover that you cannot find them for sale at the current time and so you will not be able to advance the quest. Many items that you acquire during the game quests are labeled in your inventory as Quest Item and cannot be sold. The following items (or troops) are not labeled for a specific quest and so you need to be careful of disposing of them. Here is a list of those troops or items you must have early in the game for quest purposes. Many on the forums have complained that they couldn't find enough of these and therefore couldn't finish the quest. Nordlig. Required by Eric. 5 ancient bears, 15 wolves and 10 Vikings Vestlig Required by Walrus the Whaler 5 thorn sprouts Extremely useful cheat: You will acquire the ability to fly with your horse fairly early in the game. However, if you want to gain the ability to fly right at the start of the game, use the shift and tilde key (~) and then type "canfly". This can be quite useful to scour the location you are in first, to get gold, runes etc without having to fight battles. Yeah, it's cheating, but who's to know. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phase I of the game +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ --------------------------------------------------- NORDLIG ISLE --------------------------------------------------- +++ QUESTS FOR NORDLIG ISLE +++ [01] Invasion of the Undead [02] Education [03] Quarreling Friends [04] Sneaky Thief [05] Chatty Companion [06] Lost Props [07] Quest for "The Mad Mullet" [08] Exile You start the game on Nordlig Isle and the first thing to occur is your brother, Eric, wants a word with you. It does not go well. It seems that Father is looking for a worthy warrior and successor - Eric thinks it's himself and not you. Well ... this starts the first quest [01] Invasion of the Undead. [01] Invasion of the Undead Nordlig. Repel the undead invasion of your home island. [01.1] Talk to the Govenor (sic - Governor), Tormund the Fierce, about the invasion of the undead. - This quest commences as soon as you begin the game. Your brother, Eric, talks a bit with you and this entry will appear in your log. - You need to talk to Tormund about repelling the undead invasion of your home island and he tells you that he is looking for warriors. - Tormund also tells you to go talk to Runolv the Soothsayer and he gives you an amulet - the Rage of the Valkyries amulet. Leave the village green to go find Runolv. Note: This amulet does not appear in your inventory as a regular amulet, instead it is an icon on the lower left side of your portrait, while a spell book icon appears on the lower right side. Clicking the amulet icon enables your rage abilities during battle. - On your way to the front gate, stop and talk to Snorri Leatherbottom, who is lounging around near the gate. He will initiate the quest [03] Quarreling Friends. - After you go through the village gate on your way to go see Runolv the Soothsayer, you will be stopped by Guttorm Striker who will offer you some training (or you can decline). It's best to accept because you will get XP and some items. Note: This may be the only occasion in the game to obtain two particular items, the Clay Bowl and the Old Shoes. - When you accept, you start the quest [02] Education and are transported to a cave to do some quests (and gain items and XP) for Guttorm. When you finish these, you can then go find Runolv and continue the main game. [01.2] Ask Runolv the Soothsayer for advice on how to defeat the undead. - After you finish the [02] Education quest, go see Runolv. - You will ask Runolv about the walking dead and if he has a means of destroying them. - He tells you that you need to get the aid of the sun Priests who live on a nearby island, and to do so, you need to get a boat from Sven the Shipbuilder. - Ask Runolv a bunch of questions about how he became a soothsayer and you will get some spell scrolls and mana and rage potions. [01.3] Get a ship from Sven Shipwright, on the dock near the village. - You don't actually get a ship yet. At this point in time, the game is just forcing you to go to the part of the island where you could get a ship, but you will discover that you cannot get to the Shipwright yet. On the southern end of the island is an area whose entrance is protected by a magic barrier or force field (magic wall). When you approach and interact with the barrier you will get some messages and eventually receive a Dragon Tooth. - As soon as you get the Tooth, your quest log will update; entry [01.3] will disappear and entry [01.4] will now take its place. [01.4] Show Runolv the mysterious tooth. - Take this Dragon Tooth to Runolv the Soothsayer to progress the quest. - Runolv will tell you about the Priests. - Runolv also says he will help you only if you do something for him (what did you expect?). - You are to find 4 undead guys and make them dead. [01.5] Destroy the four undead leaders in the vicinity of the (sic) Runolv's hut, and bring their weapons to the soothsayer. Whips recovered: 0 of 4. - The four undead guys you are to make dead are wandering about the island. Hunt them down and make them dead (un-undead?) They are meandering about the country-side and have that laser light spikey thing sticking up from their heads. You will receive a whip for each one you kill and the quest log will update 0 or 4 to 1 of 4 etc. - Bring the whips to Runolv. - You can be anointed with a new title - Exterminator of the Undead. Note: At this point you may have noticed that some of the updates in the quest log change for the quest Invasion of the Undead; This happens often with the quest log throughout the game and can be disconcerting. But this makes little difference if you are paying attention to things, or using this guide. [01.6] Bring Runolv the four death whips. - Defeat the 4 bad guys and obtain the 4 whips. - Bring them to Runolv. [01.7] Kill Ahriman, the Knight of Death. - With the whips in his possession, Runolv divines that you are to kill Ahriman, the leader of the undead on Nordlig. Ahriman, the Knight of Death is on the top of the mountain on the eastern side of the island, next to the icon labeled Lair of the Necromancer on you overhead map. You may have encountered him earlier but could not interact with him. - You will automatically enter into battle with him. Ahriman has a lot of troops, but is generally weak (depending on your difficulty level and your own army). With the demise of Ahriman, you receive another Tooth and a message that says to go back to Runolv. [01.8] Inform Runolv of the death of Ahriman. - You've killed Ahriman and you now need to go back to Runolv and inform him. - Apparently killing Ahriman was not enough. Runolv says that now you need to kill the evil necromancer Uladar Maritarius. - But in order to get access to the cave where the necromancer is holed- up, you are told you need to reconstruct the necklace of Yodur from dragon teeth. Runolv will give you another dragon tooth. You should have 3 dragon teeth at this point and you need five. - You now need to get one from Tormund the Fierce in the castle and one from your brother Eric standing on the village green. [01.9] Take the Dragon's Tooth from Tormund the Fierce. - Talk to Tormund the Fierce and he gives you his tooth without any fuss. [01.10] Get the Dragon's tooth from Eric. - Eric is standing near the cabbage patch of the village. To get the tooth from Eric you need to bring him 5 ancient bears, 15 wolves and 10 Vikings. Do so and return to Eric to get the tooth. [01.11] Bring to Eric 5 ancient bears, 15 wolves and 10 Vikings. - These you can find for sale in locations around the island. Typically, you can find wolves and bears in the Lair and Vikings in one of the shops of the village Note: be careful that you don't lose any of these units in battle and deplete the stores. If you aren't able to find these units, you will be unable to complete the quest and you will need to start the game over or load an earlier save. - You have to bring all three sets of units to Eric at the same time. Eric will then give you his Dragon tooth. - After acquiring the 5 teeth, the Necklace is automatically completed (how this was done we will never know) and you are then tasked with killing Uladar Maritarius, the evil necromancer who is hiding in the cave at the top of the mountain. [01.12] Kill Uladar Maritarius, who hides in the cave at the top of the mountain. - Don't forget to equip the necklace, it's quite good actually. - This guy Uladar laughs in your face when you confront him. Why do all evil bad guys laugh? Defeat the necromancer and return to Tormund in the castle. - The cave, called the Lair of the Necromancer, has a number of items and goodies to procure and a few enemy troops to defeat. [01.13] Tell your father of the death of Uladar Maritarius. - After you inform Tormund, you will get a nice reward - I got a spear or hammer in different playthroughs. He also asks you to find your brother Eric. [01.14] Find Eric and return home. Eric was last seen heading towards the harbor. - Before you go find Eric, be sure to buy what you need in the village or at the castle; after the confrontation with Eric, these areas will be locked to you until later in the game. - You are now to find Eric who is at the magical barrier on the peninsula leading to the boat dock. - Eric will bore you with some grandiose words and then promptly attack you, the cad! - After defeating Eric (you don't kill him - instead you will allow him to be carried off by his cronies), go talk to Runolv who is standing on the bridge to the village. - This ends the [01] Invasion of the Undead and starts the quest [08] Exile. - When you talk to Runolv, you discover that you've been branded a traitor, your father Tormund is pissed and Runolv says you are no longer welcome in the area. You will get a navigation chart for Vestlig Isle. The magical barrier to the boat dock will now be removed and you have access to the shipwright to buy a boat. Do so and set sail for Vestlig. [02] Education Nordlig. In the village you met up with your uncle Guttorm, a blacksmith who, in his spare time, is involved in training young people in military matters. He proposes to put you to the test and let you demonstrate the skills you have learned during your trials. After some thought, you have decided to accept. What one (sic - should be on) earth could that old blacksmith have up his sleeve? [02.1] Talk to Guttorm in the cave. - You meet your uncle Guttorm, a blacksmith in the village of Nordlig. Initially, he is standing on the bridge leading outside of the village. He gives you some trials which are the tutorial for the game. You will appear in some dungeon (the cellars of the castle I guess), and you are to complete three quests or trials for Guttorm. You will be given an axe and a small army that includes Warrior Maidens. You will not get to keep any of the good troops (read Maidens) after the tutorial. Dang. - Be sure to search the starting areas for gold and stuff and dig for chests. [02.2] Find a keg of beer in the cellar, guarded by the Cyclops. - Trial 1: Gather a few resources and grab the beer keg; fight the cyclops, he's not too tough; return the keg to Guttorm. - You don't actually fight a cyclops, you fight wolves, bears, snakes and a beholder. [02.3] Bring Guttorm the keg of beer from the cellar. - Do this and then go on to the next task. [02.4] Find Guttorm's lost horn in the cellar. - Trial #2: now you are to find Guttorm's horn. - Here you will fight weak spiders. The horn is near the green old vase in an alcove - you need to dig to find it. Search this whole area thoroughly by digging to find items such as a shield, old shoes, clay bowl or whatever. (See the **notes concerning the old shoes and clay bowl). You might want to collect all the spider eggs - they make good cannon-fodder troops early in the game. [02.5] Return the horn to Guttorm. - This will start the last trial. [02.6] Kill the necromancer. - Trial #3: Here you are to kill a necromancer. Scour the area for chests and baubles. Now talk to the necromancer. Don't attack right away. Pick the other conversation choices first to receive some items before you whip his undead ass. [02.7] Tell Guttorm you have completed your assignments. - This completes the quest tutorial and you will receive the title "Warden of the North". - Guttorm will now be in the blacksmith shop in the village and you can buy items and Viking units from him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Notes on Old Shoes and the Clay Bowl: You very likely will find these items early in the game during the tutorial and you may think they are worthless. However, it is recommended that you keep these items and not sell them right away. The Old Shoes can be used for getting the Mysterious Parcel later in the game. At the appropriate point, you can equip them and talk to the Inn Keeper in Arlania to get the Mysterious Parcel. The Mysterious Parcel lets you buy every troop in the game except for undead, demons and neutrals. They cost 3 times the price of the original purchase of troops but by the time you can use the Parcel, you likely will have millions in gold. You get to choose from Vikings, Humans, Elves, Dwarves or Orcs The Clay Pot (or Clay Bowl) is a nearly worthless as a helmet, but it does have a useful purpose, nonetheless. It can be used at the Dragon Lair in Verlon Wasteland. Normally, entering the Dragon Lair results in an immediate battle with some tough dragons, which, of course, you may want to do for the XP. If you equip the Clay Bowl (it's a helmet) and then enter the Lair, you'll be able to talk to the dragon without fighting. He has some interesting things to say and then he will give you a free black dragon egg and you won't have to fight him. Snap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [03] Quarreling Friends Nordlig. Bosom friends, Snorri Leatherbottom and Dorri Rustychain, are quarreling over Snorri's missing amulet. Snorri claims that Dorri stole his grandfather's old magic amulet, but won't admit it. You must find out who stole the amulet! - It might not be too late for the old friends to reconcile. - This quest is started in the village of Nordlig when you first talk to Snorri Leatherbottom. [03.1] Snorri accuses Dorri of stealing. Talk to Dorri Rustychain. - Snorri Leatherbottom and Dorri Rustychain are quarreling over a missing amulet. Find out who stole the amulet. Snorri is loitering around in the village while Dorri is outside of town and down the road, just sitting on the ground. [03.2] Help Dorri calm down - a beer might just do the trick! Ask Guttorm if he will sell some beer. - Talk to Dorri who is sitting on the ground near a cave entrance (not accessible at the moment). He's a bit agitated, so you need to get him a beer from Guttorm the blacksmith in village. Negotiate to get a better price (300). [03.3] Give Dorri the beer. - Take the beer to Dorri. You will get a necklace of fangs to take to Runolv to be enchanted. [03.4] Take the necklace of fangs to Runolv so he can enchant it. - Get Runolv to enchant the necklace (will cost 1 crystal). [03.5] Take the enchanted necklace to Snorri Leatherbottom. - Take the amulet back to Snorri who is still in the village and still lounging near the entrance. Snorri is appeased and will go meet his friend Dorri near the cave entrance. [03.6] Talk to the reconciled Vikings. - Go back to the cave entrance and meet with the two idiots where Dorri was resting (if you position your overhead map in a certain way, you might notice that Snorri hasn't moved from the village, but if you look over to Dorri, Snorri will be next to him as well. How can he be in both places?) - They wish to have a drink and toast you. After a night of drunken debauchery you discover your coin purse is missing; this starts the [04] Sneaky Thief quest. [04] Sneaky Thief Nordlig. While you were celebrating with Snorri and Dorri, a thief was bold enough to snatch your purse filled with gold. A purse of gold - now that's not just some old amulet, that's serious business! It's time the thief be found and punished . . . he has really gone too far! - When you finish the [] Quarreling Friends quest, this quest will begin automatically. [04.1] Tell Snorri and Dorri about your lost belongings. - When you re-awaken from your, what? Trist?, try to talk to Dorri and Snorri but you will discover that they are asleep; you need Runolv to help you here. [04.2] Ask Runolv to help awaken Snorri and Dorri. - Runolv sells you a potion to wake them up. Negotiate with him to get the price down. [04.3] Take the sobriety potion to Snorri and Dorri. - After you wake them you will now have to go talk to Guttorm, the Blacksmith. [04.4] Tell Guttorm about the mysterious thefts. - Guttorm suggests you now arrange an ambush for the thief. [04.5] Arrange an ambush for the thief, with the help of Dorri and Snorri. - Return once again to S & D and you will automatically end up in a small cave. [04.6] Investigate the cave and find the thief. - Here you will find Cristobal Grinmir, the thief. Attack him. After you defeat him, he wants to talk and pleads with you to spare his life. You will show him mercy, and he will be sent to talk to your father Tormund and will become an upstanding citizen of the village. He will have a quest for you, the [06] Lost Props. - The cave that was unmarked previously now becomes the Inconspicuous Cave on the overhead map and the Hole in the Cave on the adventure map. - This ends the Sneaky Thief quest. [05] Chatty Companion Nordlig. The lighthouse keeper on the island of Nordlig is about to die of boredom - he hasn't had anyone to talk to for ages and ages. He would be grateful for any companionship, even a talking animal. You have promised to find some company for him. [05.1] Find a talking animal for the lighthouse keeper. - You will find a talking parrot in the possession of Gregory at the Smuggler's Haven of Isterreng and continue the quest from there. - Buy the parrot from Gregory (2000 gold if you negotiate). [05.2] Take the parrot and his cage to the lighthouse. - Once you find the parrot on Isterreng, take it to the lighthouse keeper on Nordlig and this completes the quest. [06] Lost Props Nordlig. Surprisingly, the trainer Cristobal Grinmir reached the village safely, accompanied by Dorri and Snorri. Now (sic, should add the word He) is now staging a performance for the King and his nobles, training his bears to play the drums and jump over the bonfires. Cristobal's only regret is that he lost his props in an accident one night, while at sea! With the help of those fine props his act would have been even more fun and entertaining! You have agreed to help the trainer find his lost items. - Cristobal Grinmir, who was the thief in the [] Sneaky Thief quest, will show up in the village after you complete that quest. He wants you to retrieve his 3 animal training props. These are in chests floating in the ocean. Go buy a boat if you haven't yet or when you get the chance and float around until you find these specific chests. Other chests have loot. Note: you may be unable to reach the docks at this time until you progress the main quest and have a confrontation with Eric. Or, you can choose to fly to the docks if you've cheated and given yourself the flying ability. [06.1] Find the Trainer's Jacket. [06.2] Find the Trainer's Hoop. [06.3] Find the Trainer's Whip. [06.4] Take the missing props to Cristobal Grinmir. - When you find them all, return to Cristobal and receive your reward. [07] Quest for "The Mad Mullet" Nordlig. Sven Shipwright told you about a pirate, nicknamed Lucky Red, and his happy ship "The Mad Mullet". According to his story, all rogues and scallywags hold the belief that even the smallest fragment of this famous pirate ship will bring its owner extraordinary success. Sven asked you to bring him a piece of Lucky Red's famous ship, if you happen to find such a treasure on your wanderings. Well, you may as well keep your eyes open. Note: Sven will off this quest only after you leave Nordlig for the first time and then return at a later time to talk to Sven. [07.1] Acquire a piece of the ship, "The Mad Mullet", for Sven Shipwright. - The ship piece is acquired from Heksus who is in the castle of Gehenna in Demonis (cost 7500 if you negotiate). If you acquired this quest early in your game, be aware that you won't get to Demonis for quite a while. [07.2] Take the ship's name plate to Sven. - Once you acquire the name plate, bring it to Sven on Nordlig and the quest completes. [08] Exile Vestlig. Eric attacked you, just as you were preparing to leave to assist the Priests of the Sun. You had no choice but to fight him - and you prevailed, but from that point on the situation deteriorated. You were forced to leave your native island to escape your father's wrath. However, your hopes of returning have not been extinguished. Your uncle Runolv believes that Eric provoked the fight, and has promised to convince your father to quiet his anger to return you to his favor. Once this has happened, he will let you know that you can safely return. [08.1] Tell Runolv of Eric's betrayal. - Eric attacked you just as you were about to assist the Priests of the Sun. Runolv knows that Eric provoked the fight, but he tells you that you have to leave the island because Tormund is angry with you. [08.2] Set sail for Vestlig. - Runolv will give you the Navigation chart for Vestlig and you are encouraged to leave Nordlig, so set sail for Vestlig. - You may want to explore the ocean area and finish any unfinished quests on Nordlig before departing for Vestlig. - This quest will end as soon as you arrive in Vestlig and the quest [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig will automatically begin. +++ LOCATIONS OF NORDLIG ISLE +++ ** Tormund's Castle - The home of Tormund the Fierce (your character's father). - Here you will pursue aspects of the quest [01] Invasion of the Undead. - The castle sells typical Viking units. ** Blacksmith (Forge on overhead map) - Unavailable at beginning of game, will be occupied by Guttorm after the tutorial. ** Soothsayer's Hut - Runolv the Wise - This hut of Runolv the Wise is part of the quest [01] Invasion of the Undead. - He sells some creatures such as wolves and hopefully, for you, some soothsayers. ** Lair - The Lair sells wolves, bears, ancient bears; you will return here in a quest ([01] Invasion of the Undead) to buy some of these creatures. ** Lighthouse - Here you will find Keld who will give you Raven Rind - a regalia that adds 2 to intellect and can be used to create Wanderer scrolls. - Keld is part of the quest [05] Chatty Companion. In this quest, you are to find a parrot for Keld which is in Smuggler's Haven, Island of Isterreng. - Keld will sell Viking units, ** House of Jotun - The Jotun houses sell creatures such as jotun; polar bears; maybe some spells or scrolls. ** Small Hut - Here you can buy units such as Slingers and Vikings. ** Shipwright's House - Here you can buy ships, items, Viking units. - At a certain point in the game, he will give you the quest [07] Quest for "The Mad Mullet"; this quest will be given after you leave the island by ship the first time and then return. [x] Abandoned Ship - This ship is occupied by undead; defeat them and the ship becomes a store. [x] Lair of the Necromancer - Location of Uladar Maritarius, the evil necromancer to defeat in the quest [01] Invasion of the Undead; you cannot enter the lair until you have advanced the quest far enough. [x] Inconspicuous Cave (Hole in the Cave) - Not accessible (nor named on the map) until you are into the quest [03] Quarreling Friends. - In this small cave you will fight and defeat the thief for the quest [04] Sneaky Thief. - The dungeon has some snake troops to fight for XP. ----------------------------------------------------- VESTLIG ISLE ----------------------------------------------------- +++ QUESTS FOR VESTLIG ISLE +++ As soon as you arrive in Vestlig, the quest [08] Exile ends and the quest [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig begins automatically. The onscreen message says to pay a visit to the local King, Hauck, and to visit the Temple of the Sun. You will get the choice to change your title to Outcast if you so choose. Dock your boat at the local village and pay King Hauck a visit. [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig [10] Skeleton Ship [11] Jacket for the Whaler [12] Monster Hunting [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig Vestlig. Apparently, life on the island is not as easy as Runolv the Soothsayer had hoped. Even as you pull in to the coast, you smelled the familiar stench of the undead and heard the creaking of dry bones. You need to talk to the local Sea-King Hauck - maybe he could use your help. And (sic - add the word you') still have to pay a visit to the Temple of the Sun, as Runolv bade you. - The quest begins as soon as you arrive in Vestlig and there are two progress notes: [09.1]Talk to the Sea-King Hauck the Wicked; and [09.2] Discover from the Priests at the Temple of the Sun, the origin of the invasion of the undead. [09.1] Talk to the Sea-King Hauck the Wicked. - You start with this quest in your book as soon as you reach Vestlig; you are to talk to the Sea-King Hauck the Wicked who is found in the long house in the village. - After some pleasantries and such, you tell Hauck about the undead attacking Nordlig and you mention you know Runolv. - It turns out that Runolv's brother, Runvald, lives right here on Vestlig, but Runvald has been forced away by some guy named Taor who wants to usurp Hauck's throne. - In the course of the conversation you discover that Taor is being unpleasant and somehow has blocked the entrance to Runvald's hut with huge stones. - So the King tasks you with finding a way to remove the stones and gain access to Runvald - to do this you need to find an alchemist. [09.2] Talk to an alchemist about the boom-powder. - After speaking with Hauck, one immediate task is to find an alchemist and ask him about boom powder. [09.3] Discover from the priests at the Temple of the Sun, the origin of the invasion of the undead. - To accomplish this part of the quest you need to discover the Temple of the Sun and seek the advice of the priests as to the origin of the invasion of the undead. - A short distance south-west of the village is a snowy peak. It is at the top of this peak that you find the Temple of the Sun - the ruins actually. - It is recommended that you go to the Temple soon because you will acquire your first beautiful and powerful Valkyrie. What's not to like here? - As you approach the temple, you see it has been destroyed, but a beautiful girl is sitting in the ruins; she speaks to you . . . - This is Christa who is saddened by the fact that you and she are too late to help the priests of the temple. - You discover in conversation that she is Christa the Stunning, a Valkyrie, a celestial being. - Since you absolutely must have a stunning celestial being as a companion, you convince her to join up with you to find the ones who destroyed the temple; since you possess the Wrath of the Valkyries, the amulet that Tormund gave you, she agrees to fight by your side. She even offers to "share your tent". Hmmm. - You now possess your first Valkyrie maiden to help in battle. - Christa will grant you the ability to fly after you save Runvald the Soothsayer on Vestlig. Apparently you receive the wings for your horse when Christa joins, but you are not told about it by her (darn Valkyries like to be mysterious, don't they)? And you can't really fly yet. - However, when you do the mushroom-quest and blow up the boulders to free Runvald, Christa tells you "Oh, you could have just flown over them, you DO know you can fly now, right?" And that's when you get the wings. Come fly with me. [09.4] Search the area of the Temple of the Sun. - You receive a text message to search the area, so search the area where Christa was sitting in the ruined temple. - Dig near the Stonehenge-like obelisks to find the runic tablet; this will update your quest log to discover what is written on the tablet. - Continue to search the area and you should also find the navigation chart to Isterreng Isle (sometimes spelled Istering Isle). [09.5] Discover what is written on the runic tablet. - You need to find someone who knows something about the runic tablets; this happens to be Runvald - but he his trapped by a rock slide and you need to free him. - You need to see the alchemist Morrek to create boom powder to free Runvald. - If you talk to King Hauck, he knows nothing about the tablet. - Talk to alchemist Morrek again; he doesn't know anything about the runic tablet, but you will have a lot of conversation choices for Morrek if you've you done this my way up to this point. You can ask about : * turning rocks into dust - You need Morrek to make boom powder, but he doesn't have the correct ingredients - so guess what? Quest time. This starts progress note to collect all the mushrooms. * funny hat - When talking about his funny hat, he mentions that he made it from a Captain's jacket; you will return here on another quest involving this jacket. * sun temple - He didn't blow them up. Or so he says. . . * runic tablet - If you have been to the Temple, you will show him the tablet, but he knows nothing about it. [09.6] Collect all the mushrooms in Bombo Mushroom Cave. (Found: 0/5) - Alchemist Morrek asks you to collect mushrooms in the Bombo Mushroom cave; the cave is located a short distance down the hill from Morrek. - Collect all 5 mushrooms (they are blue sparkly blobs) and return to Morrek. [09.7] Take the mushrooms you have collected to Morrek the Alchemist. - Return to Morrek and he creates some Boom Powder for you. [09.8] Clear a passage to Runvald's hut using boom powder. - Now take your newly acquired boom powder and clear a passage to Runvald's location; approach the boulders in front of Runvald and they will automatically explode away. - When the rocks are destroyed, Christa will intervene and wonder why all the fuss with bombs and such; she now gives you the ability to fly! [09.9] Talk to Runvald the soothsayer. - You will get to ask Runvald about the undead and you have to tell him that the Temple of the Sun has been destroyed. - When you tell him about finding Christa he says that he too has been trying to summon a celestial virgin (well, who of us hasn't wanted that?) - You will also talk to him about the runic tablet you found and he deciphers it and then tells you that the evil appears to be on the island of Isterreng. - He cautions you that the road ahead is dangerous and you should seek King Hauck's aid and soldiers. - Before running off, talk to Runvald again; now you can request a mission from him and buy stuff. - When you ask about a mission, he mentions his brother Runorm the Soothsayer and he asks you to look for him on the island of Fastland. - He will give you a navigation chart to Fastland; this will also start the quest [26] Missing Soothsayer - to find his missing brother Runorm who lives in Fastland. [09.10] Ask Sea-King Hauck to help fight the source of evil in Isterreng. - When you now talk to King Hauck for help in fighting the source of evil in Isterreng, he says he would be happy to, but... (there's always a but isn't there?) - Hauck is unable to help you until you do something for him; he will ask you to talk to three rebels, Taor, Chukat and Gronnum; these guys are found on Vestlig island. Note: Before you continue here, you might wish to build up your experience and army. The easiest way to do this is to fly about with your newly acquired flying ability and gather all of the resources and visit all of the leadership banners (flag-looking things) and altars you can. Fly to the new, unexplored islands of Fastland and Isterreng and do the same. I know, that's sort of cheating - but I won't tell anyone. On the newly discovered islands, most of the battles will be beyond your current abilities, so just gather resources. When you've done all you can, go back to an easier location such as Vestlig, buy new units, fight some battles and then continue the quest line. [09.11] Talk to the rebel Taor. - Taor is on the small southern-most island on the west side of Vestlig; talk to him and he says a voice in his head is commanding him to be evil; you will return to save him later; now head into the Traitor's Hideaway, the entrance is just down the path from Taor. [09.12] Talk to rebel Chukat. - Chukat is underground in the Traitor's Hideaway, the entrance to this area is near Taor; he seems raving mad and you get a message confirming this; after talking, his entry clears from the quest log; you will return to him later. [09.13] Talk to rebel Gronnum. - Gronnum is farther into the dungeon: Gronnum is similar to Chukat, he will rave at you and then he is cleared from the quest log; you will return to him later. [09.14] Tell Runvald about the madness that has seized the soldiers. - After speaking to all three, you need to go back to Runvald who will give you a potion. [09.15] Cure the rebel soldiers of their madness with the help of Runvald's potions. - Runvald will give you potions to give to each of the three rebel dudes to cure them of their madness. - If you obtained a mask fragment during another quest, then conversation choices with Runvald will let you show him the mask fragment and update him on his lost brother; this will update [26] Missing Soothsayer to continue your search for Runorm. - Return to the three rebel dudes to cure them with Runvald's potion. - For Taor simply talk to him and he will drink the potion and be cured. ***Note: Taor is to give you an amulet; there are two conversation choices, both of which imply you will get the amulet, but only the upper choice "thank you Taor I'll make good use of it" will give you an amulet. The lower choice is "Aside from the amulet, did the voice ever try to subdue your will?" This will lead to another conversation choice "Well Taor I accept your gift" but you will not get the amulet. The amulet is a charm that give -10% of undead and demon attack - not that great anyway. - Chukat - when you give him the potion, he attacks. Kick his sorry ass. - Gronnum will also attack after giving him the potion. Kick again. [09.16] Tell Hauck of the fate of the rebel soldiers. - Return to King Hauck to tell him of the news about his rebels; he will give you a navigation chart for Fastland if you don't have already one; otherwise you get a Wanderer Scroll. - He says he is still not willing to give you any soldiers, but if you exit and return, he will sell items and troops. - Taor is now in the village and will trade. In my game he had Maidens. - This completes the quest [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig. - You can anoint yourself Conciliator if you wish. [10] Skeleton Ship Vestlig. You met a strange representative of the undead - a romantically inclined skeleton of a young man, who dreamed of becoming a pirate. As fate would have it, the very first night the young man set sail under the command of the formidable pirate Captain Wineskin, their ship was attacked by Ottar Gonnat's troop. The ship was sunk and the crew lost. You suggested he become a pirate skeleton, posthumously. He was absolutely delighted with the idea! And so he has asked you to find him a ship. Objective: Fetch Empty Eyes the skeleton a ship. - Empty Eyes (Louis to his friends) is a skeleton standing on the middle one of the three western islands of Vestlig; you can attack him right away (you won't get a quest though - duh) or talk to him and agree to do his quest. [10.1] Get hold of a ship for Empty Eyes - Marelli Walrus might have one for sale. - Empty has a lot to say, but the gist is he wants to continue as a pirate, and he needs a ship to do so. - See Marelli Walrus in the Whaler's Cabin and buy a ship for 3000 gold - it will appear on the dock near Marelli's hut. You have to buy this ship and you cannot give Empty a ship that already exists in the game. [10.2] Deliver the ship to Empty Eyes the skeleton. - Sail around to the west and find the gap between the upper and middle western islands. Dock it on the beach in the gap where the dragonfly nests are. - Go over to Empty who will be grateful and he will disappear to sail off into the sunset or darkness, or wherever skeleton pirates go. (If you did this quest and didn't kill him, you will meet Empty again later. Arrghh me hardies.) - You can ask Empty some questions, but he knows nothing. His head is empty, so to speak. [11] Jacket for the Whaler Vestlig. The whaler Marelli Walrus complained to you that the undead have destroyed his house and stolen his most treasured possession - a white captain's jacket that belonged to his grandfather. Marelli has a tradition - he will only put out to sea if he is wearing this jacket. Now that the whaler is staying put at home, and the entire whaling tradition of the islands is under threat, Marelli wants you to find and return his grandfather's jacket. [11.1] Find out where Marelli's captain's jacket is located. - In conversation with Marelli, you discover that he has lost his lucky Captain's jacket. You offer to find out where the jacket is located. - If you have talked with Morrek the Alchemist, you know already that he has this jacket (or at least a turban that can be made into a jacket). - Go to Morrek and ask him about his funny hat and mention that his turban is dingy; you will now get the conversation choice about the white jacket; he would give it to you if you could find him a new turban; but you both realize that you cannot get a turban. So he offers an alternative - bring him 5 thorn sprouts to make a new turban. [11.2] Bring five thorn shoots to Morrek the alchemist. - These are called Thorn Sprout in your inventory and in the game. - There are a few thorn sprouts sprouting in the countryside of Vestlig. You didn't use them or sell them did you? For the quest, the items can't be the Thorn Hunter creatures. It has to be the little seed pods that grow into thorn hunters. Sometimes you won't find enough of these in Vestlig. I played a game where there were only four on the entire island and you need 5 for the quest. Wake up Devs! Oh, too late. Fortunately, you can find sprouts later in the game when you get to Greenwort or some other islands, and then come back and finish this quest. [11.3] Give Marelli Walrus his captain's jacket. - Return the jacket to Marelli the Whaler to end the quest. [12] Monster Hunting You have been contacted by the famous Vampire Hunter Van Tallinn, who asked you to find and destroy the undead armies. - This quest will likely begin on Vestlig, but continues on other islands; There is speculation that apparently the quest will appear after you have killed 100 vampires or a certain number of undead. - You first have to find a monster on Greenwort, but you won't be getting to Greenwort for some time in the game, so this quest will be delayed until later. [12.1] Destroy the Ghoul. You should focus your search around the cemetery in Greenwort. - The Ghoul is in the cemetery just to the east of Greenwort castle. Eliminate his ghoulish butt. - After defeating the Ghoul, Van Tallinn contacts you telepathically; when you ask for your reward, he tells you to close your eyes; do it; you will receive the Vampire Ring. - You can then choose to continue to help him, and why not; the next quest is to ... [12.2] Find and destroy the Dark Lord. According to Van Tallinn, he has settled somewhere in Vestlig. - When you destroy the Lord, you get the Bloodsucker sword and yet another quest from Van Tallinn. - If you read your conversation choices after winning the battle, one of them is "Van Tallinn was a worthy opponent". You're doing the quest for Van Tallinn, you didn't just fight him. Sheesh, the proofreading in this game . . . [12.3] Destroy the army of undead, led by the undead dragon Nekrotix. - Van Tallinn says that the foul creature and its terrible horde have settled somewhere in Riftland. - You won't be able to get to Riftland just yet, so you'll put this off until later. - Van Tallinn contacts you again after you defeat Nekrotix; with some give and take during conversation, you will finally receive you reward - the Prince's Crown. - This completes the quest. +++ LOCATIONS OF VESTLIG ISLES +++ ** Stronghold of the King/Long House of Hauck the Wicked in the village - The King likely sells jarls and other Viking units. ** Blacksmith - He will sell Viking units such as berserker, axe thrower, jarl. ** Tavern - The tavern sells Viking units. ** House on Stilts - This location cannot be accessed in the game. ** Taor standing in village (after you save him in a quest) - He may sell warrior maidens, items, spells. ** Sawmill - Located just outside of village; sells plants. ** Runvald the Prophet - He is in the upper central region of Vestlig Isle a bit south of the House of Jotun; he does not appear on the overhead map; he is visible, but inaccessible at first until you do the quest to free him from a rockslide. - He will sell creatures after you free him: Soothsayers hopefully. - He is involved in several major quests. ** Whaler's Cabin - Home of Marelli Walrus. - Conversation points for Marelli include borrowing a ship (for 3000 gold), looking at his goods and doing a quest for him, [] Jacket for the Whaler. - He will sell pirate units. ** House of Jotun - These locations sell jotun and maybe trolls (make note of this; in a much later quest for one of the Valkyrie maidens, you are asked to obtain level 5 creatures - jotun and trolls fit the bill.) ** Temple of the Sun (unmarked on overhead map) - It looks like a small Stonehenge area at the peak of the mountain just south-west of the village. - Here you will find Christa the Valkyrie who is standing near the Stonehenge. - She will talk with you and eventually you will convince her to join you. - Search this area to continue the quest [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig. ** Alchemist Laboratory - Alchemist Morrek - Morrek sells dwarf units such as alchemists. - He is part of the quest [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig - he needs Bombo mushrooms. - He will also have a quest to find 5 thorn shoots (sprouts, seeds) that you can pick up on the ground or buy them and give them to Morrek. ** Bombo Mushroom Cave - This small cave just down the incline from Alchemist Morrek, where you find the Bombo mushrooms for [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig. ** Empty Eyes - He is a skeleton standing along the path of the middle of the three small islands on the west side of Vestlig. - He will give the quest [10] Skeleton Ship. ** Traitor's Hideaway - This underground area containing enemies to fight and two of the traitors you are to deal with in [09] Help the Vikings of Vestlig. - There are two entrances to this area; south-west lower island and south- east lower part of Vestlig. ** Skeleton Ship (called Ship's Skeleton on the adventure map). - Typical wrecked ship with ghosts and such that becomes a shop when you defeat the ghosts (this is not part of the quest [10] Skeleton Ship). ---------------------------------------------------- ISTERRENG ISLAND ---------------------------------------------------- Isterreng has no major castle or such, but there are a number of quests to complete. +++ QUESTS FOR ISTERRENG +++ [13] Missing Cabin Boy [14] Talking Bear [15] Drowned Gold [16] Serpent Lake [17] Picks for the Smugglers [18] Rusty Hook [19] Heavenly Maiden [13] Missing Cabin Boy Isterreng: You met a pirate captain named Simon Danziker. He told you a story about a cabin boy named Thomas Mayer, who saved his shipmates from shipwreck during a terrible storm. Unfortunately, there has been no news of the cabin boy for three days. You have decided to go to the mountain where the cabin boy was last seen, and discover his fate. - Simon is found on the beach near where you first dock and he wants you to find Thomas Mayer the cabin boy. - Spoiler alert: You don't actually find a living Thomas; alas, young Thomas is a just a pile of bones located in upper right quadrant of the island. [13.1] Go to the top of the mountain and find Thomas Mayer, the cabin boy. - The cabin boy is "found" dead at the small burned out area in the right upper quadrant of Isterreng at the top of a peak; when you approach the spot, you will get a message about the demise of poor Thomas who is now just burnt skeletal remains. Seems that poor Thomas was the snack of a local wolf. (The onscreen message you get says he was devoured by a bear, but all other text says it's a wolf. You do read the onscreen text boxes, don't you? Well, I did it for you, so you don't have to.) [13.2] Tell Simon Danziker of the death of Thomas the cabin boy. - Simon is devastated by the news, but he wants you to find and kill the wolf that killed Thomas. [13.3] Find and slay the wolf that killed the poor cabin boy. - Find the wolf (actually just a bunch of regular wolves) in the snowy mountain area near where you found Thomas' bones, and kill them; return to Simon for your reward. [13.4] Tell Captain Simon you have completed the task. - This, ah, completes the task. - You can now become the Snowy Mountain Pathfinder. Yippy Ki Oh. - Simon will now sell stuff such as pirate units. [14] Talking Bear Isterreng: Wandering on Isterreng, you came across a bear. To your surprise, instead of attacking you, he started talking! It turns out that the poor beast was once a man, but a magician turned him into a bear. Now this bear, or rather, this former man, has one hope, - Somewhere in Arlania there lives a powerful wizard who could transform him back. You promised to find this wizard and convince him to help. - There is an enchanted bear in the snowy mountains in the upper left quadrant of Isterreng (not marked on the map) who wants you to find the most powerful magician to transform him back into a human; the magician is in Arlania (Archmage Rezo), so you won't be completing this quest for a while. - This quest will continue in Phase II of the game. [14.1] Find the most powerful magician in Arlania and tell him about the enchanted bear. - The most powerful magician is Archmage Rezo in the Magic Tower in Arlania; (it will be a long time until you get to talk to him). - Once you finally do get to talk to Rezo about the bear, he will ask you to get a tuft of fur from the bear. So go do that. [14.2] Get a tuft of fur from the talking bear. - Rip out some fur (actually you do ask nicely) and take it back to Rezo. [14.3] Take the tuft of fur to Archmage Rezo. - Archmage Rezo will now help you if you bring him the tuft of fur, oh, and 2000 gold. - Rezo will make you a potion, but it takes time. In the interim, you are going to have to defend Rezo from some meddlesome demons. He makes YOU defend his tower? Again?? I thought this guy was the archmage, and he can't even defend his tower against some undead or demons? Sheesh. - My group of do-gooders was attacked by Setrizel and her minions; they no longer exist. [14.4] Give the talking bear the Ursus Hominy Transmutation Potion. - You get this potion from Rezo after you take the fur to him. - Give the potion to the bear on Isterreng and the quest completes. You don't actually get to see the transformation. The bear just disappears. [15] Drowned Gold Isterreng: You met up with a pirate captain named Fatnose Joe, who asked you to find some gold which he and his former accomplice, Big Pug, had stolen. He explains that Pug drowned along with the gold in an underground lake. Looks like you'll have to do some diving. [15.1] Find a sack of gold, sunk in an underground lake. - Fatnose of Smuggler's Haven wants you to recover some stolen gold; it is found in one of the buoys in the riverways. - You won't get the grasping hand icon, you actually have to run right into the buoy with the boat; just aim your boat at one of the buoys and you will get an onscreen message to dive for the gold - There are several buoys to search and you often get other items when you dive; you cannot interact with the buoys until you are given this quest [15.2] Take the gold to Fatnose Joe. - Eventually you find the correct buoy; when the gold is recovered, return to Fatnose. - If you say the wrong thing you will have to fight him; you can ask for 10,000 and you can settle for 5,000; fighting might be better if you need the XP (at the stage I first met him, I was a level 11 Skald and he was labeled Deadly). Take your chances here or come back later. He actually will wait for you. [15.3] Joe offered you far too little in return for all your help. Time to teach the scoundrel a lesson! - You get this entry if you decide to fight him. - If you fight and defeat him, you get the XP and the gold. What's not to like here? [16] Serpent Lake Isterreng. In one of the caves of Isterreng, you met a pirate - Henk Owleye. He told you about a cave that was swarming with every kind of snake imaginable, all bred by a witch named Etteilla. All the pirates are dreadfully afraid of this place. You have decided to have a word with the witch, to find out if she would agree to calm her snakes and allow the pirates to sail the surrounding waters. - You encounter Henk in the Smuggler's Haven underground; talk to him and agree to do his quest; you will find a boat nearby to navigate through the water passages. [16.1] Talk to Etteilla, the witch, about her snakes. - This quest is obtained when you talk to Henk Owleye in the pirate underground; he wants you to cure the snake invasion problem; he says the cause of the problem is Etteilla the witch. - You find Etteilla in the Smuggler's Underground; you have to commandeer the boat and find her little alcove. - When you talk with her she says she will get rid of the snakes if you find her staff or wand or whatever. [16.2] Find out if Henk knows anything about the witch's wand. - When you talk to Henk Owleye to find out where the staff is, he directs you to Toothless Jack - a hop and a skip down the path. - Toothless Jack in the House of Stilts here in the underground has the staff. [16.3] Recover the Snake Staff from Toothless Jack. - Toothless may be toothless, but he is not troop-less. He has a lot of henchmen. Be prepared. - Toothless Jack resides in the House of Stilts, but he won't give you the staff regardless of the conversation path you take; you have to fight him for it; do so and return it to Etteilla. [16.4] Return the snake wand to the witch Etteilla. - Etteilla, of course, is overjoyed. - After returning the staff, go back to Henk to tell him the good news. [16.5] Tell Henk that the waters of the lake are now safe. - You solved another major, major issue is this unsafe land. - Oh, and you also can become the Sea Dog!! [17] Picks for the Smugglers Isterreng: Gregory the Smuggler, from the island of Isterreng, has asked you to bring him some picks and shovels. You will have to search in the nearby abandoned mine. - Stop and have a chat with Gregory of Smuggler's Haven and he says you look dim-witted enough to accept his quest. Well I never! - After you accept this quest, talk with Gregory again. 1. Ask him about the bird in a cage and ask if you can use the safe haven. The safe haven is the underground area beneath Smuggler's Haven. - The line about the bird cage will lead to a discussion of buying the parrot that Gregory has; negotiate to get a better price; this is the bird you need for [05] Chatty Companion given by Keld in the Lighthouse on Nordlig. [17.1] Find the tools in the abandoned mine. - The abandoned mine is actually just a burned out surface area on the eastern side of the lower quadrant of Isterreng and not a dungeon type mine; after you defeat the local undead units, dig and you will find the picks and tools. [17.2] Give Gregory the Smuggler the tools for digging. - Give them to Gregory and this completes the quest. - After you do the Picks quest, you can ask about a job and get the quest [18] Rusty Hook. - If you haven't done this yet, ask Gregory about the parrot and for 3000 you can buy the parrot as part of the quest [05] Chatty Companion. [18] Rusty Hook Isterreng: Gregory the Smuggler told you that Captain Rusty Hook has left the pirate brotherhood and decided to stamp out all illegal activity to (sic - should be in) Isterreng. - He has even had a certain degree of success in this endeavor. Anxious for their livelihoods, the smugglers have placed a bounty on his head and, if you hurry, the prize will be yours. According to Gregory, Rusty Hook's ship is sailing somewhere near the coast of Isterreng. If you hurry, the bounty will be yours. [18.1] Find and destroy Captain Rusty Hook. - After you return the tools to Gregory in Smuggler's Haven, ask Gregory about a job and he asks you to find and destroy Captain Rusty Hook along the coast of Isterreng. - Ol' Rusty is floating about on the high seas of Isterreng; hunt him down and eliminate him. - Killing him completes the quest. Note: On the high seas of Isterreng, you will also encounter the pirate John Rotten with his ship of fools; he does not appear to be part of any quest, so go ahead and eliminate him too. [19] Heavenly Maiden On Isterreng you met a celestial maiden named Hilda the Warrior. She knows where Runorm is hiding, but she will not reveal the location until you find Gudrida the Fierce, on Fastland.

You MUST defeat the giant spider to progress in the game. This battle is not trivial (some say it is the most difficult of the game) and you are likely to lose many of your troops. Be scared and come prepared. +++ LOCATIONS FOR ISTERRENG +++ ** Simon Danziker - He is not marked on the overheap map; he is standing on an iceflow where you will park you boat. - He tells you a sob story about his missing cabin boy which starts the quest [13] Missing Cabin Boy. ** "Columbine" Brigantine - This is the ship near Simon; it is not marked on the overhead map and cannot be accessed. ** Smuggler's Haven - Here you will find Gregory the proprietor who is part of several quests: [17] Picks for the Smugglers, [05] Chatty companion, and [18] Rusty Hook. - You may find for sale axe throwers; pirates; sea dogs. - To get to the underground area, ask Gregory if you can use the "safe haven". - Gregory will sell a parrot for the quest [05] Chatty Companion. ** Safe Haven - the underground area of Smuggler's Haven - You access this area by asking Gregory if you can use the "safe haven". - You can get on a boat here and float around finding stuff and fighting some enemies. - There are several quests to do in this maze of passages and waterways. - There is no adventure map available for this area.

[Note: you will fight with Runorm in the final battle that will end Phase I of the game; he is in the Cave of the Frozen Tears behind the giant spider; defeating Runorm "teleports" you to Greenwort to begin Phase II of the game; the quest will now say completed in your quest log, but one remaining task, to "Continue Searching for Runorm" will still be available. You will discover eventually that Runorm isn't really dead yet and you get to kill him one more time]. [26.2] Tell Runvald about the mysterious disappearance of his brother Runorm. - King Ingvar on Fastland will tell you about Runorm and give you a mask piece. - Take this information to Runvald on Vestlig.

[27] Dark Portal Isterreng: You encountered the Valkyrie Gudrida, who told you that the undead invasion of Vinland Island was led by none other than the soothsayer Runorm, brother of Runsage and Runvald! It seems inconceivable that a soothsayer has set out on a path of dark necromancy, and call down an army of darkness upon his mountain folk kin! According to Gudrida, Runorm is currently hiding at the top of Galskap Mountain. Well, it is clear your path leads there. You must talk to the soothsayer and stop him - by force, if necessary... Note: Regardless of what the above message says, there is no location specifically labeled Vinland in this game. And there is no person named Runsage - I think they mean Runolv. [27.1] Close the dark portal on Galskap Mountain, on Isterreng. - After finding the 4 mask pieces and having them re-assembled by Gudrida the Valkyrie, you must now stop the undead invasion by finding Runorm and closing the portal. - Go back to Hilda on Isterreng and talk with her (you must have Gudrida as a companion in order for Hilda to join you). - Hilda will now join you and the entrance to the Cave of Frozen Tears will open. - In the cave, you have items to collect and a few minor enemies to fight. - The ultimate battle is at the far end of the cave where you must defeat the Giant Spider. Good luck. - After defeating the spider, an exit will appear behind where the spider was lurking. - You can leave the cave the way you came in to replenish your army if need be; otherwise go through the exit behind the spider. - The portal past the spider leads to an area called Galskap Mountain, where you will encounter various types of undead foes to vanquish; search the area for loot and chests and whatev. - Eventually you will come upon Runorm; you will have a few words with him, but you must attack him; he has a mix of undead and Viking troops; you need to nix the mix. - Finding and then defeating Runorm will complete both the [26] Missing Soothsayer and [27] Dark Portal quests. (Runorm isn't really dead, so your Missing Soothsayer quest progress report still lists Continue Searching for Runorm) - Defeat him and you will be magically teleported to Greenwort, after he magically takes away your entire army, magically. This will begin Phase II of the game. [Note: you can later return to Galskap Mountain through the Cave of Tears and finish any unfinished business.] +++ LOCATIONS OF FASTLAND +++ ** Blacksmith - He sells Viking units such as axe thrower; soothsayer. ** Ingvar's castle - The king will sell Viking units such as axe thrower; jarl; warrior maiden. - Ingvar is part of quest [20] Invasion of Fastland and will give you the quest [24] Hardy Twohand. ** Egil standing in village - He is part of the quest [20] Invasion of Fastland. - He will give you the quest [22] Beast Hunting. - After the quest, he will sell Viking units such as axe thrower. ** Long House - This location sells typical Viking units. ** Small Cellar (in Burning Village) - This is the location of the Small Cellar which is part of the quests [21] Herring Love and [23] Unhappy Ulrika. - The Small Cellar is marked on the overhead map; it is a small trap door that only shows as running boots and not a door icon on the adventure map. - Ulrika is found here. ** Gudrida the Valkyrie - She shows up near the Dark Cave in Fastland after you obtain a mask fragment from King Ingvar of Fastland and show the fragment to Runvald on Vestlig. - You will get her to join you. ** Lighthouse (not marked on map) - The Lighthouse is located in the burned village at the upper left quadrant of Fastland. - Enund, the proprietor of the Lighthouse, sells Viking units such as axe thrower and soothsayer after his quest is completed. - Quests here are [21] Herring Love and [23] Unhappy Ulrika. ** Hakon - Hakon will give you the quest [25] Grandfather's Axe - Hakon is on the northern tip of island; the axe he seeks is in the burned village in the upper right of island; the axe is visible and sparkly but many on the forums complain they can't pick it up; there is a tiny spot where you need to hover your hand icon to pick up. ** Sawmill - sells plants ** Dark Cave - In this small cave you can battle with spiders and such and get some loot. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phase II of the game +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phase II of the game begins after you defeat Runorm in the Cave of Frozen Tears. You will automatically be teleported to Greenwort without any of your troops. That's right nothing. Naked. Nada. Zip. You will be standing in the courtyard of Kronberg Castle with the Guardroom to your left and the Chapel to your right. All three buildings have quest markers, but you need to go to the castle first. The second you arrive, a Doctor Parakrat is talking to you. He checks your health and then asks who you are and how you got there. You tell him your strange tale and you can now accept the title "Stranger". This will complete the [27] Dark Portal quest. If you defeated Runorm without losing more than 30% of your forces, you will also get the achievement Bane of Death. Notes and tips for Phase II of the game. Some of the castles and stores in the areas such as Fastland will reset their creature inventory. In the castle area, there are three buildings, the main castle, the Chapel and the Guardroom. Each sells good units and each has one or more quests for you. In order to access the Chapel or the Guardroom, you first need to speak with Prince Consort Guilford in the Castle. In the castle you will meet Prince Consort Guilford who will insult you and then give you your first set of quests on Greenwort. Chocolate, marshmallow, anyone? He goes on and on and on. Full of himself much? He relates to you that he has been blamed for much of the trouble besetting the land, what with the undead invasion and the mages rebellion. Of course, according to him, this is all baseless. After more blathering, he finally asks you for your help. You try to refuse, but he is having none of it. His idea of how you will help involves three things. . . he wants you to procure three powerful artifacts - the Heart of Ksaltotun - found within the chest cavity of Ksaltotun; the Staff of Starlight - this is in possession of the mages of Arlania, and the Dragon's Tears, which is in Demonis. You can only get to Demonis if Guilford constructs a portal, but the other two quests will begin here in Greenwort. Each of the three quests you receive from the Prince Consort are quite involved and have other quests embedded within them. You've got a lot to do, so let's get started. These are the three main quests of Phase II. [28] The Heart of Ksaltotun - find the necromancer Ksaltotun in the Verlon Wasteland [29] Staff of Starlight - talk to the mages of Arlania about the Staff of Starlight; tip after getting staff you won't be able to enter tower of mightiest mage (Rezo) for the Talking Bear quest; the tower will open up later in the game [30] Dragon Tear - go to Demonis through the portal at the palace square in Greenwort Since all of these quests are quite lengthy, you can't just rush off and do them. It will be some time before you get to Demonis, so you will put that one off until much later. You first order of business should be to gather a new army since you are naked, so to speak. Guilford sells some good units and check out the Guardhouse and Chapel as well. In the Guardroom you will meet Captain Renli Swann. He immediately asks you for a favor (don't they all). There are three problems you can help him with: 1. The problem with Selmy Boros, 2. the strange case of the port and 3. the ugly brute ogre in Greenwort. For #1, you will get choices; it is probably better to choose the option Warn the Rebel. For notes on Selmy, see the quest Warn the Rebel. Choose conversation choice #1 I, as the King's son . . . where you say everyone should be allowed to make their own choice. Don't take choice #2 "We have other business . ... I'll deal with the rebel". Choice #3 won't get you the quest so why would you pick that?? Chapel You will talk with Dr. Parakrat again. He, of course, has a quest for you. +++ QUESTS FOR GREENWORT +++ [28] The Heart of Ksaltotun [29] Staff of Starlight [30] Dragon Tear [31] Warn the Rebel [32] Catch the Butterfly [33] Cannibal Killer [34] Stolen Drugs [35] Vengeance for the Cow! [28] The Heart of Ksaltotun Prince Consort Guilford told you of a powerful artifact called the "Heart of Ksaltotun." This artifact could help prevent an invasion of the undead into the lands of Endoria. You have to find necromancer Ksaltotun, on the Verlon Wasteland, and cut out his heart. - This is one of the three main quests given to you by Prince Consort Guilford. [28.1] Find the necromancer Ksaltotun in the Verlon Wasteland. - He is in Plagrim, a evil looking castle on the northwestern end of Verlon. - He will have words with you the first time you arrive, but you won't be able to fight him or continue this quest until you have been joined by 4 Valkyries. At this point in the game, you probably have Christa, Hilda and Gudrida - you need to find Regina. [28.2] Join the Valkyrie Regina the Stone. - Find Regina, do the quest to save her, and she will join you. - Regina is in Arlania. [28.3] Overcome the necromancer Ksaltotun, with the help of the four Valkyries. - Once you have 4 Valkyries, attempt to defeat Ksaltotun. [28.4] Deliver Ksaltotun's heart to Prince Guilford. - Give the heart to Guilford to end the quest. - You now can become the Dark Blade! - The castle Plagrim is now inaccessible. Note: For an extra adventure, visit the area in Verlon called Catacombs and talk to the Restless Spirit (ghost) who resides there; he wants Ksaltotun's heart for the quest [47] Bring the Heart to the Ghost. So take it to the ghost in the catacombs first before you give it to Prince Guilford. [29] Staff of Starlight Prince Consort Guilford has told you of an incredibly strong artifact - the Staff of Starlight - which is powerful enough to destroy entire armies of the undead. This staff is held by the Mages of Arlania. The prince wants you to to (sic 2nd to should be deleted) go and fetch this staff from Arlania. Perhaps you will be able to persuade the Mages to hand over the staff amicably. - This is one of the three main quests given to you by Prince Consort Guilford. [29.1] Talk to the Mages of Arlania about the Staff of Starlight. - When you approach the Magic Tower in Arlania, you will realize it is inaccessible and protected by a magical barrier. You will get an on screen message and the quest log will update. You are to speak to the three mages standing outside of the tower and barrier. [29.2] Talk to Abeo the Volatile. - He is standing just across from the entrance to the tower. - He ignores you at first and then asks what you want. You tell him of your mission and he accuses you of being on Guilford's side. - After that, he won't talk. [29.3] Talk to Insurgo the Unpredictable. - He is standing on the beach. - He will talk, but will not give you the staff because he believes Prince Guilford is wrong. [29.4] Talk to Ordo the Keeper. - He is standing to the right of the tower near the beach. - He too ignores you at first and then when you tell him of your mission to find the Staff of Starlight he will end the conversation. [29.5] Explore the ancient altars of Magic (0/3). - After you've gotten nowhere talking to the three mages, your quest log will update and you are tasked with exploring the ancient altars; these are located on the southwest side of the island. - Each of the altars gives you the grasping hand icon when you cursor over it; you can leave the altar alone or Tame the Guardians of the altar: you of course want to tame them for this quest. So select the altar and commence a gremlin tower battle. Be sure you are prepared for tough battles. - You need to activate all three altars: Tame the Guardians of the Order; Curb the Custodians of Change; Tame the Guardian of Chaos. [29.6] Pay a visit to the Tower of Archmage Rezo. - After you defeat the 3 altars, a message tells you to return to the archmage's tower; the force field surrounding the tower has been lifted and you can converse with Nilrem standing in front of the entrance to the tower. - Nilrem chastises you for destroying the altars and you will have to fight him; He is quite full of himself, but he does possess a sizable army; bring plenty of firepower to this picnic. - You will get the Staff of Starlight when you defeat Nilrem. - You can promote yourself to Wizardbane should you so choose. - Now if you try to gain entrance to the Tower of Rezo, you will only get to have some words with Archmage Rezo; you can't open the doors and Rezo won't let you in until later. [29.7] Give the Staff of Starlight to Prince Guilford. - The only thing you can do now is give the Staff to Guilford; when you give the Staff to Prince Guilford AND you have given him the Heart, a portal (the Demonic Portal) opens up next to his castle. This leads to Demonis. [30] Dragon Tear Guilford, the Prince Consort, told you of an artifact he seeks, which is known as the Tear of the Dragon. This object would aid him in his struggle against the undead. You must leave for Demonis and attempt to recover this mysterious tear. Who would ever have imagined that dragons cry?! - This is one of the three main quests given to you by Prince Consort Guilford. [30.1] Go to Demonis through the portal at the Palace Square in Greenwort. -You need to find both the Staff and the Heart and give them to Guilford before he opens the portal to Demonis. - In Demonis you will meet Xeona, the ruler of Demonis who resides in the castle of Gehenna. - You will ask her for the Dragon Tear, but she won't give it to you until you fulfill her quest to get contracts signed by 4 demonlords in Hades. - A portal to Hades is opened near the Portal to Greenwort. [30.2] Sign a peace treaty with Krans, in Hades. - He is in the Steel Stronghold of Hades. - You must defeat him in battle.

Note: after defeating all of his units, the battle doesn't end, he then casts Armageddon (it will appear that many of your troops will die, but actually none of your units will be lost) and then the battle ends; but you really didn't defeat him as Mista tells you . . . - When you manage to defeat him you will be teleported to Arlania where you will be met by Misty Mista (Mista Cloud), your 5th Valkyrie. - She will fill you in on a lot of the current backstory and then she joins you. - You can now call yourself "Enemy of the Kingdom". - This starts the quest [79] Stop Guilford.

You refused, but since the captain might find someone else willing to carry out the deed, you should find Selmy and warn him of the dark plot. - In the Guardroom, talk to Captain Renli. He tells you about a traitor named Selmy Boros. - You get 3 choices at this point - to offer to kill the rebel, to warn the rebel or to say you are not interested. The best choice in terms of reward is to [31] Warn the Rebel, so don't agree to kill Selmy Boros (you won't get this choice again). If you choose to warn the rebel then you can ask about things happening in the port and an ogre problem. Asking about the port will begin [32] Catch the Butterfly. You won't be given the other quest until you complete the first one you chose. [31.1] Talk with Selmy Boros. - Selmy is at Deserters' Refuge located in the upper left quadrant of Greenwort. - You will get to talk with him and warn him if that is the choice you made when you accepted the quest. - You also had the choice of killing Selmy when you initially took the quest; I chose to warn him because he becomes a store if you decide not to kill him. - He will relate a bit of important information about the Prince Consort - how he is a fraud and is behind the disappearance of the queen, etc. - After you warn him, he will become a store and sell Knight units.

[32.1] Hunt down the ghouls and pirates who stole the royal frigate known as the Butterfly'. - The ship is owned' by Empty Eyes standing next to the boat on a tiny island off the north coast of Greenwort; you are to trade him a similar ship or you can kill him. - Empty tells you a sad story about how this is his favorite ship - a veritable fairy tale, so you might decide to spare him and find another ship to trade with him. - There is a ship sitting near Kitano at the coast. You can't buy that ship, but you can simply take it. - Take the ship near Kitano, float to Empty and then talk to him. He will trade his ship for the one you arrived on. - Or you can attack him. - Here is the message you get on killing Empty if that was your choice: "You won a crushing victory over the army of Empty Eyes, but managed to spy a handful of the skeleton's men break away from your ship and sail to the island. Well, at least the three-masted frigate of her imperial majesty is now in your hands, you should probably take it into the harbor and to inform Captain Renli that the frigate is safe." [32.2] Return the Butterfly' to port. - When you get the ship from Empty, there is no "port" to take it to; take it to the beach where Kitano is and park it on the beach. - When you get near the beach where Kitano is standing, your quest log will update. [32.3] Report to Captain Renli that the ship has been returned. - Return to Renli for your reward. - You can now ask Renli about the ogre problem and be given [33] Cannibal Killer. [33] Cannibal Killer Greenwort: The Captain of the Palace Guard, Renli Swann, told you that the haman-eating (sic - human-eating) ogre knogn (sic - known) as Gloomgnaw is hiding somewhere in the woods of Greenwort.

[34] Stolen Drugs Greenwort: The court physician, Parakrat, complained to you that a convoy bound for Greenwort was attacked and robbed. Among the items stolen were medicinal drugs, which are needed to treat the injured at the hospital. The doctor asked you to find these drugs and return them, for a fee. [34.1] Find the stolen drugs. - They are in the possession of Tomard Kane in the Den of Thieves (called Cave on the adventure map). - You can buy the drugs or kill Kane. [34.2] Return the stolen drugs to Parakrat. - You get a choice here of lying about how you got the drugs or telling the truth; your reward will vary depending on whether you tell the truth or lie - might runes when you chose truth and magic runes if you tell lie. Your choice. - Parakrat will now have different inventory: in my game he now has rune mages and paladins, inquisitors etc. [35] Vengeance for the Cow! Greenwort: In the ruins of the village, you met an inconsolable peasant named Gorv. Oddly enough, he was not grieving for the slaughtered villagers, but for his beloved cow. He asked you to avenge his cow, and kill the instigator of this atrocity, Zervinj the necromancer, who lives nearby. [35.1] Find and kill the necromancer Zervinj. - Outside the farm house just to the southeast of the main castle, you will find Gorv, lamenting that his beloved cow was killed by an evil necromancer, Zervinj. - Zervinj is in the dungeon labeled Crypt near the exit portal for Verlon Wasteland - You won't get a chance to chat with Zervinj as he attacks the second you enter the crypt - Killing old Zerv ends the quest. - If you return to Gorv, he says he is going to leave the area and go to the chapel; he says he will build a barn on the side of the chapel.

He will then trade boats with you which is part of the Catch the Butterfly quest. - Note that you can just take the boat near Kitano and float to the nearby islands such as Arlania, but you will not be able to Travel to distant lands such as Nordlig; for that you need to obtain the boat by trading with Empty Eyes or having Kitano teleport you to Arlania. - Kitano will sell devilfish and other units. ** Empty Eyes the Skeleton - This is the same Empty Eyes you met earlier in the game (if you let him live).

You must stop him before he kills more innocent humans and elves. - This quest is given by elf mage Gvenvinn found in the Battle Mages Barracks when you ask for work. Note: when I exhausted all of the conversation choices but did not ask for work, and then left the store, she no longer offered this quest; so ask for the quest right away. [48.1] Merlassar. Find and kill Murdoch, the enraged bear-spirit. - The bear is wandering about on the island. - Kill it to complete the quest. [49] Loggers Merlassar. On the south-west of the island, a group of people are cutting down the elven forest. These people must be expelled from the island, one way or another. - You will encounter Shatha the snake in the woods; Shatha asks you to help by shutting down the loggers who are destroying the forest. [49.1] Go to the logging zone and ask the people who gave them permission to cut down the timber. - Talk to Baron Bryude standing outside of the Knight's Tent; he indeed is the one who is cutting down the trees but he says he has a permit; you can attack him or continue the quest and inquire about the permit with Kail-Shot in castle Tiriit.

Then bring the eyes to Albertil the druid, on Merlassar. You will find the cyclop on a rocky islet near the coast of Merlassar. Note: A cyclops only has one eye, otherwise it would be a bi-clops. [50.1] Talk to the druid Albertil on the Island of Merlassar. - At some point (likely in Arlania while you are visiting Whistler in the Inn) you will be approached by messenger Kinnen who tells you about the cyclops in Merlassar and gives you a map of Merlassar Island.

[52.3] Gather a crew for the expedition (5 ents). - Both the elves and ents need to be bought in a shop; I found ents at the Magic Tree; one problem with the Magic Tree selling ents is that if you agree to undertake its quest, it will not sell items until the quest is completed - and you cannot complete the magic tree quest until you have access to Riftland. - These have to be regular ents, not Ancient Ents. [52.4] Find a boat capable of handling a lengthy voyage. - You are told to ask Edwin at the Roots and Crown tavern; although he sells ships, he does not have one suitable for a lengthy voyage as is needed; he tells you to go see the pirates in the pirate lair - The boat can be bought from Drinren the pirate in the pirate lair for 25,000.

[53.2] Return to Edwin for your reward. - Victory over the tower minions releases the lighthouse from whatever was blocking its function. - When you click on the terminal again you get menu choices to seemingly restore the lighthouse to function. - However, none of the menu choices really does anything since when you report back to Edwin, your conversation says the lighthouse is restored and the quest ends.

[55.1] Plant a sapling on Riftland. - The pile is in the west central part of Riftland near the Witch's house.

[55.1] Return to the Ent for your reward. - After you've planted all 4 seedlings, return to the Tree and get your reward. [56] Spirit of the Forest of Merlassar. Merlassar. You need to find a spirit, in the forest of Merlassar, who can tell you why the animals on the island have gone mad. - Given by Albertil at the Druid Home after you complete his first quest. [56.1] Find a forest spirit who is willing to talk. - Look for Murdoch (a bear); Scioto (dragonflies) or Shatha (snake). - Murdoch and Scioto are part of other quests and you need to fight them; so hold off talking to them and see Shatha the snake first. - Shatha will talk to you and will give you an amulet to give to Albertil the Druid. [56.2] Give the amulet to the druid. - Turns out that the amulet is dark magic and the druid is not quite sure what to do with it, so, he gives you another quest. - He gives you his eltranvir; seems this is an artifact that has some special properties such as giving you an audience with the king. - You are to search for more eltranvirs (3 total).

[57.2] Return to Drinren for your reward. - Your reward will not be gold but the Eltranvir, a medallion that you are/were/will be seeking. - This finishes the quest. [58] Audience Merlassar. You have to meet with the King of the Elves to let him know about the terrible things that have been perpetrated on the island. For a long time now, the king has remained locked in his castle, but there is a custom according to which he is obliged to receive anyone who has collected a minimum of three Eltranvirs, thereby proving that they not only represent their own interest but the interests of all the residents of the island. Eltranvirs can be obtained from the inhabitants of the island, in return for the fulfillment of their tasks. To collect them, you must first ask first (sic - delete this first) the swordsman, Kael-Shot, to open the way to the royal castle. - This quest is started after you have done several things for Albertil the Druid.

[59] The King's Dying Words Merlassar. The King of the Elves has been killed, and his last wish was to see his murderer punished.

Hey, wait a minute! You didn't choose this one, did you? --------------------------------------------------- DEMONIS --------------------------------------------------- Notes: You cannot use the flying ability on Demonis. Damn you devs. As you wander around Demonis, you will eventually realize that certain areas will remain hidden by the fog of war (cloud covered). These areas are actually NOT accessible in the current game, even though you can sometimes see named structures on the overhead map. The devs apparently did not finish the game. So you can't get there from here. The entryway to Hades is a portal just south of the portal from which you arrived from Greenwort. When you first arrive in Demonis, the portal to Hades will be locked. It will be opened upon the commencement of a particular quest for Xeona. Your first order of business in Demonis should be to talk to Xeona in the castle Gehenna. Talking with her is a major part of the search for the Dragon Tear. Also talk to Heksus, the personal secretary to Xeona. He has some tasks for you as well. QUESTS FOR DEMONIS [74] Treasure of Antiquities [75] Diabolical Apple [76] Free the Demon (obtainable only if you find and talk to the hourglass) Note: Important aspects of the major quest [30] Dragon Tear, which was started a long time ago by Prince Consort Guilford, also take place on Demonis. The Dragon Tear quest is described under the quest for Greenwort section of the guide. - In Demonis, you will talk with Xeona in her castle and discover that she has the Tear, but will only give it to you if you do something for her. - This updates the Dragon Tear quest line. [74] Treasure of Antiquities Demonis. Heksus, Xeona's secretary, asked you to find some treasure which had been buried in Hades by a rich demon. The location of this treasure was marked on the map which he gave you. He promised a great reward if you perform this service. [74.1] Dig up the treasure, buried by the unknown antiquarian. - Heksus, in the main Gahenna Castle in Demonis, wants you to collect treasures from Hades; he gives you a map. The treasure is located at the northern most tip of Hades in the center of the island near a shrine of rage; you have to dig for the treasure. [74.2] Take the antiquarian's trunk to Heksus. - This completes the quest. [75] Diabolical Apple Demonis. Xeona told you that she has really been fancying an apple. You promised to try and find one for her. Arlania has always been famous for its fruit, so you should ask around in the shops and pubs, to see if someone will sell you an apple. [75.1] Get an apple for Xeona. - During your conversation with Xeona in Demonis, she tells you she would really, really like an apple. - Talk to Innkeeper Whistler in Arlania and he will sell you one for 1,000. By now you should be swimming in gold and that is chump change, so why bother to negotiate. [75.2] Take the apple to Xeona. - She wanted a rosy apple, but it's green. But no matter, she takes it anyway. - This completes the quest. [76] Free the Demon Demonis. It turned out that (sic - the) lava hourglass given to you by a hermit has a little demon named Lurf living inside it. He was imprisoned there by a magician, many years ago. The demon told you that if you throw the clock back into the lava from whence it came, the demon will be released. This is the Lava Spring in Demonis, where you have promised Lurf you will go, and give him his freedom. - Note: this quest is only obtainable if you find the Hourglass and talk to it.

You encountered a demon named Lamend, who would not believe that there was such as thing in your world as snow and ice. You argued about it, and finally you decided to prove it to him. You intend to bring him back a piece of ice from Fastland. - You find Tricky Lamend standing in the southwestern part of Hades; he has some discourse and he thinks you are a lying about the existence of ice and snow. So, you must prove it by bringing him some ice. [77.1] Find a piece of ice on Fastland. - The ice is located on small island off the south-east coast of Fastland; you have to dig to find it. [77.2] Bring to the demon Lamend the piece of ice you took from Fastland. - You bring the ice to Lamend, but of course it is melted; this ends the quest. [78] Elementals Against Experiments Hades. The Demon-Mage Arkton told you that a dangerous elemental escped (sic - escaped) from his lab. Arkton asked you to hunt down and destroy this dangerous creature. - Arkton is standing near the lava pool at the northwestern tip of Hades. - He is a demon conducting magical experiments and asks you to leave him alone. - You, of course, need to interrupt him and ask some inane questions. You finally agree to help him hunt down an errant elemental. [78.1] Track down the dangerous Elemental. - The Elemental Zahar is found on the upper plateau level on the western side of Hades. - Zahar will want to talk; you can attack right away or hear him out. - If you talk with him, he says that Arkton is really the evil one and you should destroy him. - Since I'm against evil, I decided to kill Arkton and not the Elemental. [78.2] Kill the Demon-Mage Arkton. - Do that. [78.3] Report the death of Arkton to Zahar. - Now trudge all the way up and back and sideways to Zahar. - This completes the quest. - You can now call yourself Lord of the Flame. +++ LOCATIONS OF HADES +++ Note: You will gain access to Hades only when you agree to do some quests for Xeona in Demonis. ** Demonis - The gateway to Demonis. ** Bloody Pentagram (lower level) - This shop sells demon units, spells. ** Stone Maw - This is the home of Himerius who is involved in the quest [30] Dragon Tear. - You might have to solve a riddle for him: He asks the question "Which element combines air, earth and fire: The answer is: Ashes - The Maw will sell items, demon units, spells. ** Magic Tower (upper level) - This shop sells demon units, spells. ** Steel Stronghold - This is the home of Krans for the quest [30] Dragon Tear. ** Scarlet Castle - This is the home of Lenderkhat for the quest [30] Dragon Tear. ** Tricky Lamend (Lamend on the adventure map) - Tricky is the origin of the quest [77] Ice for Imp. - You find him standing around near the Scarlet Castle. - He will sell some imp units. ** Black Tower - This is the home of Eyntz who is involved in the quest [30] Dragon Tear. - He will sign the treaty without too much fuss. - The tower sells spells, red dragons. ** Corrupted Sanctuary - This is located near the Black Tower; but can't be accessed yet.

It is marked on the map, but inactivated, when you first arrive in Hades. The portal will be activated when you do some quests in New Kordar. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phase III of the game +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Phase III of the game is quite involved and at times it seems a bit confusing as to how you should proceed and what quests you should accomplish in what order. Listed below is a sequence you will likely follow to make it through Phase III. This is the order you will likely do things for the huge questline after you defeat Guilford the first time 1. Talk to Archmage Rezo in Arlania and get the main quests for Phase III [79] Stop Guilford. 2. Do a few tasks for Rezo and then talk to him again to get the quests to [80] Find Allies and the quest to [81] Forge Alliance with Elves. 3. Talk to Las Ksarind in Arlania and get the quest to [82] Find Queen Amalie. 4. You will now be allowed to enter the Creiston mines in Arlania. 5. Go through Creiston Mines to get to New Kordar. 6. Talk to King Korn Digor of New Kordar who wants you to do quests (kill undead in Kordar) before he will help. 7. After defeating the undead in the catacombs for King Digor, talk to Digor to end [82] Find Queen Amelie quest and start the quest [86] Alliance with the Dwarves. This will open the portals to the Riftlands and Grotland. 7. Find Frod or Freolina in New Kordar and do his/her quest. Defeat Freolina to access the portal to Hades. In Hades, talk to Xeona to get the quest [85] Make Peace with the Demons. This finishes the quest line Forge an alliance with the Demons. 8. Go to Riftlands, defeat Loki and speak to the King to get his quest to deal with the Vikings in Grotland. 9. In Grotland you must kill Urfin. Then talk to Supervisor Makintor of the mine in the Keeper's House of Grotland. 10. Return to Asvald; now he wants you to go to Iceland. You will need to kill the very powerful dragons on Iceland; you can talk to Korn Digor to get this quest or kill the dragons first. 11. Report to Korn Digor in New Kordar; he pledges dwarven support which gives you Forge an alliance with the Dwarves; go back to Asvald 12. Asvald accepts Korn Digor's pledge (ends [86] Alliance with the Dwarves), but he wants you to get rid of orcs on Tungsinn. 13. Follow the order of quests for Tungsinn as they seem to be bugged. 14. Return to Asvald and report the events on Tungsinn to finish Forge an alliance with the Vikings. 15. Go to Las Ksarind in Arlania to finish Forge an alliance with the Elves. 16. If you have done everything you should have, this should complete all quests in the quest log except for Stop Guilford, which you will do now. Phase III of the game commences when you find and deliver three items - the Heart of Ksaltotun, the Dragon Tear and the Staff of Starlight - to Prince Consort Guilford and then defeat him in battle. After battling with Guilford, you will be teleported to Arlania, but a different Arlania in the sense that the land has been reset in terms of enemies and shops etc. I will call the new Arlania, Arlania 2. --------------------------------------------------- ARLANIA 2 --------------------------------------------------- Note: Arlania has reset after you meet with Mista. Most of the locations are still there although they may have different units and items. The fog of war was been renewed and the land is full of elven units that attack. Even though we like the elves (don't we?), fight them for XP. There are also a number of knight units that will join you if you wish. Note: When you go to the mage tower and help Archmage Rezo, all of the currently hostile elven units will become friendly or neutral. If you want the XP, fight them before you visit Rezo. They will actually respawn if you defeat them all and after you talk to and help Rezo. The entrance to Creiston mines, which was blocked by a guard in Phase II, is now blocked by an Elf named Lin Therien. When you complete certain quests, he will let you pass. For now, he won't talk to you, nor will he let you enter the mines. The major quest [79] Stop Guilford is initiated. While you start the Phase III quests in Arlania, you can still return to Greenwort, which is mostly unchanged. You will find, however, that you cannot get very close to Guilford's castle. It is defended by 4 huge armies standing behind your brother Eric. You can fly over but you cannot land in the courtyard. Because of this, you also won't have access to Demonis because the portal is no longer there. You will be able to find a new portal to Demonis a bit later. You can talk to your loving brother Eric, who rants and raves and fills you in on some background information. You will get to meet the leaders of the undead armies behind him and trade some insults with them. But you will not fight them now. You will fight all of these guys during the end game battles. Eric asks you to join him, but your only conversation choices result in your leaving. Another time, perhaps. From Greenwort you can still access the other islands via boat navigation. Things to do in Arlania to start Phase III Just down the path from where your arrive in Arlania you will see a friendly troop who is actually Lieutenant Orlando. If you don't approach him, he will approach you to talk. Lieutenant Orlando tells you that there have been fights with the undead and the elves. You get two conversation choices, you can recruit his troops by telling him you assume command of his men (you must have an open troop slot or he will disappear from the game). Or you get the choice to send him to the capital. Again, he will disappear from the game. There is no quest involved here. I guess his game function is to just fill you in with some background info and offer troops. Most of the locations of Arlania are still present albeit with different items and troops. Arlania is swarming with hostile elves and other units. You can fight these troops for XP, but they are not part of any quest. To further the main quest line, go to the Magic Tower and talk with Archmage Rezo. +++ QUESTS FOR ARLANIA 2 +++ [79] Stop Guilford [80] Find Allies [81] An Alliance with the Elves [82] Find Queen Amelie [83] In Search of Lost Treasure [84] False Necromancer [85] Make Peace with the Demons [79] Stop Guilford Prince Consort Guilford is a deceiver, who dreams of seizing power across the whole of Endoria. He had you wrapped around his little finger, tricking you into fetching him powerful artifacts. You must stop him before he becomes too powerful. - This quest begins as soon as you appear in Arlania after the battle with Guilford; you have two tasks at hand. You must talk to Archmage Rezo 1st to progress in the quest, you won't actually get to stop Guilford for quite a while [79.1] Stop Prince Consort Guilford. - This is the overarching main quest for Phase III. This quest log entry will be in your log until the end of the game. [79.2] Talk to Archmage Rezo. - Make your way to the Magic Tower and talk to Archmage Rezo. You will admit to him that you were wrong to support Guilford. You will exchange a few words, but before Rezo talks more, he wants you to kill some undead invading his bedroom. You will fight Zalnaron and his undead minions. - After the battle, Rezo talks with you again and chastises you for helping Guilford. - His advice to you is to join forces with the elves. Turns out it was Rezo who summoned the elves and that's why you have been fighting them. Then, just as you begin to argue that the elves were attacking you, all of a sudden, an elf named Lin Evere (Archmage Rezo calls him Avery in the conversation boxes) enters the room and joins the conversation. As you listen, you discover that an elf named Las Ksarind is asking for help. Rezo says his own army has been depleted but you seem capable of helping the elves. Eventually you agree to join with the elves. Now all the previously hostile elven units in Arlania will be friendly or neutral. If you fought the elves previously and cleared them from Arlania, they will be respawned as neutral or friendly. - You can gain the new title "At Home Among Strangers". The quest line Stop Guilford updates: added is Destroy the Undead on the Beach: 0/4 units. Once you have done this, this log entry disappears from the quest log. After talking to Rezo and getting the elves on your side, you must go to the beach in Greenwort and . . . [79.3] Destroy the undead on the beach: 0/4 units - These 4 guys are sunning themselves on the beach at the northern end of Arlania. Kill them, kill them all. [79.4] Report the destruction of the undead to Rezo. - Report back to Rezo (You may have to fight the undead in his chambers again). - Don't forget to ask him about a spell to turn a bear into a human for the quest [14] Talking Bear which was started a long, long time ago on Isterreng. [79.5] Conduct reconnaissance on Greenwort. - Here Rezo instructs you to go to Guilford's castle in Greenwort and talk to your brother Eric who is standing at the entrance to the castle. - If this is your first time returning to Greenwort since the beginning of Phase III, you are in for a scary sight. Your brother Eric is standing outside of the castle flanked by 4 extremely nasty looking henchmen - Van Varro, Dedred, Magnikat, and Tanatoris. You won't fight them yet. - Talk to Eric to see what's up with him. - Eric tells you that he has chosen the winning side, that of Guilford - unlike you. - You try to convince him otherwise, but . . . to no avail. - Each of the 4 henchmen from the hench-armies steps forward to threaten you and you will have a retort for each, but no fights will occur yet. - Eric asks you one last time to join him and Guilford, but you refuse. [79.6] Report to Archmage Rezo about the the (sic) armies of undead guarding Guilford's castle. - You tell Rezo about the overwhelming force at the castle and he suggests that the way to deal with Guilford and the undead is to amass a huge army of allies; he suggests you first talk to Las Ksarind in the castle of Iron Richard (castle Karradun) right down the path from the mage's tower. - This starts the quests [81] An Alliance with the Elves and [80] Find Allies. Note: the [80] Find Allies quest line will be updated as you complete tasks for the various factions. ************************************************** END GAME EVENTS: ************************************************** The next event occurs only after you have amassed your ally army - which takes a long, long time in the game. So, after you have reported to Rezo, go on into the Creiston mines and onward. To Creiston and beyond! I've added these log entries here because they are part of the current quest, but be aware you will not get to this portion of this quest for quite a while. [79.7] Destroy the army at Guilford's castle. - As you approach Guilford's castle in Greenwort, you ally armies will be waiting nearby and will automatically have things to say to you; they again affirm their commitment to help. - Each ally wants his own piece of the action: - Digor wants Dedred; Asvald wants Van Varro the vampire; Las Ksarind wants Tanatoris the necromancer; Xeona wants Magnikat, the black knight - You will fight with each of these enemy units using the Ally's army. - Be forewarned that the spells you get to use will vary with the army; you will not get the full complement of spells you may have accumulated to this point; you just get a handful of spells and many of them are not useful (silly Devs). One small consolation is that the spells you do get are all at level III. Whoop-de-f-ing-do. - Now go talk to your "brother" Eric and the fun begins. - You will fight 4 big battles with the 4 guys behind Eric. - After each battle, you get a break to recharge in you need to. Then talk to Eric again to start the next battle. - After defeating the minions, it's time to wipe the evil out of Eric; Now you will fight with your own army and will now have your full compliment of spells. - After you defeat him, Eric will come to his senses and smash the corrupting amulet given to him by Guilford. - You can take some time now to replenish your army if you have to. ************************************************** END GAME ************************************************** [79.8] Crush Guilford - Yes , crush him hard. Muahahaha! - Guilford wants to talk to you, but then he will attack. Eric helps you defeat Guilford. - You will have both your and his army. You will be able to arrange Eric's forces if you have tactics, but you won't have control of them during the battle. You won't be able to use your rage abilities since this is a boss fight. Grrrr. - Guilford is sitting on a throne with glinting eyes looking stupid and evil. Once you kill every one of his units, you have to kill him, meaning attack him on the throne - one of those giant enemy boss battles. How did he get so big, I wonder? - After you kill' him, he turns into a black dragon and can conjure bone dragons. Isn't he annoying? - Once you kill him the second time, (or is this the third?) then he's dead for good. You will then appear outside the castle and have a conversation with Tormund the Fierce, your father. If you read the dialogues, notice that Tormund says he "gathered a toop", instead of troop. During the conversation you will get a choice. You can lie about Eric's involvement or tell the truth that he was ensorceled. Eric shows up. You talk and talk and talk. Or actually, read, and read and read. You do read the on screen text don't you? Now Queen Amelie appears, finally. Then you talk some more, I mean a lot more. Then Xeona appears. Then the Valkyries. Everybody wants to sing their praises to you. At the end a whole screenful of people are cheering you. End of game. ************************************************** [80] Find Allies It turns out that your brother, Eric, along with the mighty heroes of the undead, were guarding the approaches to Guilford's castle. Not yet prepared to defeat such a huge army of the undead, you heeded the advice of Archmage Rezo, and set off to find allies who may help you in the upcoming battle. - After you reunite with Archmage Rezo in this phase (Phase III) of the game, you will do some small tasks for him and then he suggests that you find allies such as the elves and dwarves to help you overcome Guilford. Each of these will be updated as you complete certain tasks. [80.1] Find allies in the war against Guilford. [80.2] Forge an alliance with the Elves. - You need to find Queen Amelie for the elves. (Note: you don't actually find Queen Amelie, you just go through the motions.) [80.3] Forge an alliance with the Dwarves. - This is updated when you do quests for and get advice from, King Digor. [80.4] Forge an alliance with the Vikings. - You get this quest automatically when you defeat Loki on Riftland. [80.5] Make Peace with the Demons. - This quest line appears after defeating Freolina and getting the portal stone to Demonis. [81] An Alliance with the Elves On the advice of Archmage Rezo you have decided to forge an alliance with the elves. This will not be easy, however, because Guilford has given the elves stong (sic strong) cause to distrust humans. Perhaps if you were to offer the elves some service, they might agree to discuss conditions for peace. [81.1] Talk to the commander of the elven army. He is sure to be found in the castle of Iron Richard. - Go see Las Ksarind is in Richard's castle - Karradun in Arlania. - He blames you for the problems with Guilford, and rightly so. - He talks about forging an alliance, but all of a sudden you get interrupted by the elf Lin Evere who tells you that one of their ships is lost near the large island of Arlania (Griffin Island.) - Turns out an important person was aboard that ship - Ele Taera - the daughter of Las Ksarind. So it's off to find the lost daughter... [81.2] Find the elf Ele Taera whose ship disappeared off Griffin Island. - A cave now opens up on the south end of Griffin Island; the Griffin Underground. - The cave is inhabited by icky spiders and such, so de-spider it if you are so inclined. - When you find Ele, she is in dire straits - she is dying of poisoning from a spider bite. - She of course, asks for your help. - You will get several conversation choices here, one of which is to tell her to just tough it out; you don't really mean that do you?? - Obviously the best choice is to do as she asks - go see the herbalist on Merlassar. - You will be offered a navigation chart to Merlassar, but you likely already have been there; therefore, you will get a Wanderer scroll instead. - The only way to Merlassar is by ship traveling from Greenwort; so hike over to Greenwort and get yourself a ship. [81.3] Find an antidote for spider bites. According (sic to) Ele Taera, you can get the necessary help from the herbalist on Merlassar. - Go to Merlassar and go to the Healer's House in the elven village and talk to Herbsage Irwin. - He needs the venom from the spider that bit the elf, so trudge back to Arlania... [why someone didn't mention this before you left Arlania, I'll never know]. - You have a choice of not going back, but you won't do that to nice Ele and jeopardize the entire rest of the game will you? [81.4] Kill the spider that bit Ele Taera, and extract its poison gland. - In the cave with Ele, find a spider in one of the alcoves and kill it and you will get its poison gland. [81.5] Bring Irwin the poison gland you extracted from the spider. - Trudge, trudge, trudge back to Merlassar and the herbalist; he wants 3000 gold for the antidote, a piddling sum for such an important quest is it not? - Make sure when you go back to Ele, that you know the difference between an antidote and an anecdote :) [81.6] Give Ele Taera the antidote. - We're trudging back to Arlania; give her the antidote and save the day. [81.7] Accompany Ele Taera to Las Ksarind. - Ele disappears and you are to follow her to Ksarind; you don't really accompany her or follow her - she will show up in your inventory and so just go back to Karradun Castle and talk to Las Ksarind. - Las Ksarind is obviously overjoyed you saved his daughter, but he says he is still not ready to discuss the Alliance - later he says. - Exit the castle and re-enter to talk to Las Ksarind again; now before he is ready to make the Alliance, he wants you to find Queen Amelie for only she can forge such an alliance with the elves; this starts the quest [82] Find Queen Amelie. [81.8] Find the Queen Amelie, and get her to agree to forge an alliance with Las Ksarind against the undead. The queen can be found in Kordar. - You actually don't find the Queen now (or ever in the game); after you have completed a lot of stuff for the dwarves and Vikings ([86] Alliance with the Dwarves and [91] Alliance with the Vikings) the quest log will update to say... [81.9] Tell Las Ksarind that your search for Queen Amelie has been unsuccessful. - After a bunch of other quests and forming alliances, you tell him the disappointing news and this will complete the quest as well as [80] Find Allies (if you have done the other Forge allies quests). - In spite of this turn of events, Las Ksarind is ready to pledge the Elves to your side. [81.10] Forge an alliance with the Elves. - This ends the quest. [82] Find Queen Amelie Las Ksarind informed you that he was only willing to negotiate with the legitimate ruler of Darion, Queen Amelie. She was last seen traveling to Kordar to visit the dwarves, so Las Ksarind allowed you to travel through a protected passage in the Creiston Mines. [82.1] Search for Queen Amelie in Kordar. - After you save the daughter of Las Ksarind in Karradun castle, he asks you to find Queen Amelie; she is believed to be in the Creiston mines visiting the Dwarves. - The entrance to Creiston mines is now open for you to travel to New Kordar. - The mine is a short distance south of Castle Karradun and has a group of elves guarding the entrance. - Talk to Lin Therien at the entrance; you will now be allowed entrance (you will automatically enter). - You can now freely exit and enter the mines from Arlania, but you will still have to ask Lin Therien nicely. - After much ado in the Creiston Mines, killing undead and dwarves and whatnot, you will eventually come to the entrance to New Kordar and be met by Rothar Shortleg. - He explains why the dwarves have been attacking you. The Find Queen Amelie quest is updated in New Kordar after you speak to the King of New Kordar, Korn Digor, in Castle Kirasar; the previous log entry Search for Queen Amelie' is no longer present. [82.2] Destroy the advance units of the undead. Destroyed: 0/5 - Go through the large gate of the city and eliminate the 5 undead minibosses and their armies wandering about the catacombs. - You will encounter: Aurelius, Whisperer, Rotten Finger, Malefik and Drelahal. There are a lot of undead roaming around New Kordar corridors. The minibosses are the ones with the spikey light thing sticking up from their heads. [82.3] Wait for news from Kordar concerning Queen Amelie. - This update is given after you defeat the 5 undead armies. - Bring the information that you killed the undead to King Digor. - King Digor doesn't have good news for you and he now directs you to the islands of King Asvald. - After you've talked with the King in New Kordar the [82] Find Queen Amelie quest will end and the quest [86] Alliance with the Dwarves will begin. - You can now give yourself the title Border Guard. - The portals to both the Riftlands in the lower center of New Kordar and Grotland in the north central part of the area will now be available. [83] In Search of Lost Treasure Arlania. The unlucky treasure hunter Ron has already spent a month searching for a treasure which, according to his map, is buried somewhere in Arlania. You have agreed to help him find the treasure in return for a share of the booty. - This guy is standing near the waterwheel in Arlania. - Do his quest for him and then he will become the final customer for Whistler's Inn for the quest [39] Attracting Customers. [83.1] Find the treasure chest on the Verlon Wasteland. - The map shows clearly where the treasure is buried. Dig it up. [83.2] Give the treasure chest to Ron. - This ends the quest. - Talk to Ron again and he says he is going to Whistler's at the Inn; this will make him the final customer you were seeking for Whistler in the [39] Attracting Customers quest. Go back to Whistler in Arlania to be sure to complete that quest. [84] False Necromancer Arlania. An elf ranger named Lin Erlan informed you that a necromancer is hiding in a cave nearby. He promised you a reward if you kill this terrible foe. - You will find Lin Erlan standing in front of a cave (the cave entrance looks like a giant skull) that is not named on the map and is not shown on the overhead map. - Approach Lin Erlan, and he will offer a quest to rid the area of a necromancer. Now the cave becomes the Moonshiner's Hideout on the overhead map and Entrance to the Underground on the adventure map. [84.1] Kill the necromancer hiding in the cave. - Inside the cave is a small castle which is the home of Dort, the alleged necromancer you are to kill. You don't get any conversation, just the option to attack immediately. So fight him. - After the battle you discover that Dort is not a necromancer at all and he implores you to explain why you attacked him. He pleads with you to leave him and the others alone so he asks you to lie to the elves. You choice is to let him alone or inform the elves. - Do what you wish but I let him live and agreed to lie to the elves. This way you get an item and Dort becomes a store. [84.2] Tell the elves that the necromancer has been destroyed. - Done and done. This will complete the quest. [85] Make Peace with the Demons Archmage Rezo has proposed that the demons could be possible allies. The whole idea makes you feel sick, but maybe he's right. If you were even able to find your way into Demonis in the first place, then maybe you should talk to Xeona about forging an alliance against Guilford. [85.1] Forge an alliance with Xeona. - This is part of the large quest Find Allies. - In Demonis, you will tell Xeona about Guilford's betrayal and she will promise to aid you against the usurper - after kissing you passionately. Seriously. No, seriously, that's what the onscreen message said. - This will complete this quest. And... - You can claim the new title Demon Talker. +++ LOCATIONS OF ARLANIA 2 +++ ** Mage Tower - The location of Archmage Rezo and involved in several quests. ** Castle Karradun - This castle is inaccessible when you first arrive in phase III, but will be occupied by the elf Las Ksarind after certain quests have been completed. ** Cave (Cold Cave) - Located on the northwest end of the island. - This is the home of the ice spiders for the quest [38] Ice Hunt; you likely have completed this quest in Phase II of the game and therefore, the cave will be empty in Phase III of the game. ** Jewelry Shop - This is the home of Yungem Needler. - He sells dwarf units and stuff. ** Creiston Mines (not shown on overhead map) - This is a mine entrance near the Jewelry Shop - The Arlania surface entrance is guarded by elves in Phase III of the game. - The chief elf is Lin Therien and he won't let you pass until you have talked to the Archmage Rezo and done a few things for the mage. - The mines contain a mixture of dwarf and undead enemies to fight. There are no locations to visit within the mines except for the two exits, one to New Kordar and one to Arlania. - At the end of the mines you will meet Rothar Shortleg who will let you pass on to New Kordar. - Beyond Rothar, there are a few more enemies to fight, but all of the dwarven units are neutral and will let you by without incident. ** Inn - The Innkeeper here is Whistler. - He sells some troops and items. - When I went to the Inn on Arlania (Arlania 2 during Phase III of the game) at level 58; Whistler asked if I was bored and wished to practice with a famous coach Expath. You can respond I wish to have some practice with him! Where is your Expath? This will cost 1,000,000 gold. - This leads to a battle with Coach Expath and his troops. He has lots of Knight units and is a pretty tough foe. This is for XP only. Is it worth 1,000,000 gold? ** Watermill (not on overhead map) - You can't enter the mill, but Ron, who has a quest for you, is standing outside during this phase of the game. ** Ron, standing in the middle of the map near the Watermill. - He will give you the quest [83] In Search of Lost Treasure. ** Mansion (on the large Island) - This is the home to Volkan the Merchant. - He will sell fairies and ents, whatever. ** Lin Erlan - This Elf is standing near the skull-shaped cave entrance on the southwest side of the island (the cave is not shown on the overhead or adventure maps until it has been opened). - He is the origin of the quest [84] False Necromancer. - In this quest your are to defeat a necromancer that entered the nearby cave. ** Griffin Underground - This cave opens up on Griffin Island after you agree to help the elves during the main quest and talking with Rezo. - The Underground contains snakes and spiders and beholders, oh my. - In one alcove of the cave you will find a dying elf, Ele Taera, who is part of the quest [81] Alliance with the Elves; turns out Las Ksarind in Karradun castle is her father. - She's been bitten by a spider and poisoned; she says to go to Merlassar and find a herbalist to help her; in conversation you can also scoff at her nonsense of a herbalist, one choice here is to wait for her to recover; I went to find the Herbalist. - She gives you a navigation map to Merlassar, but you should already have one. --------------------------------------------------- Creiston Mines --------------------------------------------------- The Creiston Mines are found on the eastern side of the island; you cannot enter these mines until you have done a number of things for the main quest. The mine leads you to New Kordar. - The name of the mine won't appear on the overhead map until you have permission to enter. - During Phase II of the game, there is a guard to whom you can speak and tell him some lies as to why you should be allowed into the mine, but nothing will happen until the proper quest sequence has been completed in Phase III of the game. - The mine is full of spiders and dwarves and whatever but there are no quests to be done or locations to visit; just kill things and pass through to the end. ** Rothar Shortleg - You will find Rothar standing in the center of the mines near some dwarven ruins; he says you should talk to his King of Kordar. - There's a whole dwarven town here, but nothing to do. - Exiting the mine places you in New Kordar. --------------------------------------------------- NEW KORDAR --------------------------------------------------- +++ QUESTS FOR NEW KORDAR +++ [86] Alliance with the Dwarves [87] Steam Tentacle [88] Lost Boy [89] The Droid and the Flower [90] Dwarven Love / or Trapped Demoness [82] Find Queen Amelie - This quest was started in Greenwort at the beginning of Phase III of the game. - Eventually you will be tasked with finding and defeating 5 undead in the corridors of New Kordar. After you defeat them, you are to go back to the dwarven king in Kirasar castle to complete this quest and start the quest [86] Alliance with the Dwarves. [86] Alliance with the Dwarves You have decided to forge an alliance with the dwarves of the New Kordar. You will have to make every effort to convince the stubborn Korn Digor to agree to the alliance. - You get this quest after you have met King Digor and done a quest for him. He sends you to King Asvald. [86.1] Negotiate a peace treaty between King Korn Digor and King Asvald. - You need to talk to King Asvald since King Digor will not yet make such an alliance. - A portal to both Grotland and Riftland now open in the passages of New Kordar. - When you go and do things in Riftland and then go back to talk to King Digor this quest updates with the following: [86.2] Convince King Korn Digor to agree with Asvald's proposal. - After you've done stuff for Asvald on Riftland, he now has a proposal for King Digor. However, when you talk to Digor, he says he won't agree to anything until you kill dragons on Iceland. [86.3] Destroy the Ice Dragons of Iceland which are preventing the construction of the gold mine. Dragons destroyed: 0 of 3 - There are 3 roaming bands of dragons in the Peak of the Ice Dragon section of Iceland (you do not need to kill the main dragon who resides in the castle); kill them and return to Korn Digor. The dragons are Sanniritas, Assintotar and Furistirax. - You can kill these dragons before Digor gives you the quest and then go talk to him to complete the quest. [86.4] Report to King Korn Digor that the island is now free of Ice Dragons. - Korn Digor pledges his dwarves to fight against Prince Guilford. [86.5] Tell Asvald that the dwarves are ready to sign the treaty. - King Digor now tells you to go see Asvald to sign the treaty; as you are talking to Asvald, King Digor interrupts and he and Asvald become very chummy. Asvald accepts the dwarven proposal for alliance (this completes the quest [86] Alliance with the Dwarves). - But you will find that Asvald is not ready yet to pledge the Vikings; you need to pacify the orcs on Tungsinn who are attacking villages; you get the navigation chart for Tungsinn Island; this will update [91] Alliance with the Vikings. - The [86] Alliance with the Dwarves quest is now complete. [86.6] Forge an alliance with the dwarves. - Completed by doing the tasks listed above . [87] Steam Tentacle New Kordar. Granik, an engineer from New Kordar, complained to you that his Steam-powered Tentucloid, a mechanism that was supposed to be a major part of his new invention, the Grinder, had been stolen by the undead. You have agreed to help him find this Tentucloid, which apparently has been disassembled into three parts. It will be necessary to destroy several troops of the Undead around Kordar. - They cannot have gotten far with the Tentucloid. [87.1] Collect the stolen parts of the steam tentacle from the undead. Found: 0/3 - The Steam-powered tentucloid Fragments are found on undead wandering about the cavern. [87.2] Return the parts to Granik the engineer. - This completes the quest. [88] Lost Boy New Kordar. In the underground catacombs, near New Kordar, you met a boy who had been playing hide and seek with his friends and got lost. He refused to go with you, so (you) decided to find his parents and bring them to him instead. They live somewhere in Grotland. - You meet the young lad Tori in the passages in the north of New Kordar and he is lost. - He won't come with you so he wants you to bring his mother to him.

A funny mechanical creature named Charlie-4 has been growing a flower from a cable in the dungeon. He has asked you to take his flower to get some sun, though this might be easier said than done. It seems you might need to try a different approach. - You are given an iron flower by Charlie a droid in the corridors of New Kordar. [89.1] Get some machine oil for Charlie's flower. - Buy engine oil from Granik in New Kordar town and you will automatically rub it on the flower. [89.2] Deliver the iron flower to the droid Charlie-4. - Take the oiled flower to a grateful Charlie. - Charlie now becomes a store and sells droids. [90] Dwarven Love/ Trapped Demoness New Kordar. You met a dwarf named Frod Strongblow, who confided that he was hopelessly in love with a girl named Freolina. He was too bashful to express his true feelings, so you have agreed to talk to her on his behalf. Note: The two quests involve the same objective. Which quest you get depends on which game character you talk to first. If you encounter Frod Strongblow first, the following quest will be entered in your log. [90.1] Tell Freolina how Frod Strongblow feels about her. - You meet a dwarf who can't express his feelings for his love, a demon girl, so you agree to do it for him. - Freolina is found within the north-east passages of New Kordar. When you talk with Freolina, she gets quite upset and the conversation leads to a unavoidable confrontation. - Freolina is tough; she will cast Armageddon. [90.2] Tell Frod Strongblow of Freolina's death. - He's happy you freed him from his demonic lover and this completes the quest. - Defeating Freolina and reporting her death to Frod also allows you use the Portal Rune, the Key which allows you to pass through the portal to Hades. The portal is next to where Freolina was standing Or, if you met Freolina first, the following quest will be entered in your log. [90] Trapped Demoness New Kordar. While in the mines of the New Kordar, you met Freolina, a demoness. Freolina was able to travel between worlds until she became trapped by the dwarf Frod Strongblow, who stole the Portal rune - without which the portal is useless. You have agreed to help the demoness, but in order to do so, you must (sic try) to convince the dwarf, Frod Strongblow, to return the Portal rune. [90.1] Take back the Portal Rune from Frod Strongblow. - After you talk with Freolina, go find Frod and tell him you need the Portal Rune; he'll give it up if you agree to sing his praises to beloved Freolina. - When you talk with Freolina, she is not a happy camper and the conversation leads to a unavoidable confrontation. - Freolina is tough; she will cast Armageddon. [90.2] Tell Frod Strongblow of Freolina's death. - He's happy you freed him and this completes the quest. - You now have the Portal Rune, a key which allows you to pass through the portal to Hades near where Freolina succumbed to your superior blade and combat skills. +++ LOCATIONS OF NEW KORDAR +++ There are a number of named locations within New Kordar, but most of them are empty or inaccessible. There are also a lot of neutral dwarves milling about, but most are too busy to talk with you. Be aware that the locator icon for your character does not always show your correct position when you use the overhead map of New Kordar. It may show you are in one passage when in reality you are in a nearby passage, especially on the west side of the area. ** Portals - Straight west of the portal to Creiston Mines are two portals that are labeled New Kordar on the overhead map. These are, in fact, two mini-portals that just take you up or down a level within the passage. They are labeled Top and Down on the adventure map. Eventually a portal to Riftland will be opened near these up and down portals. - There are two portals labeled New Kordar on the overhead map which allow you to reach Frod. - There eventually will be four portals which allow you to exit the area and return; one to Creiston Mines, one to Grotland, one to Riftlands and one to Hades. ** University - Closed when you first arrive and forever after. ** Tiny Johar ( a not so tiny Dwarf Giant and his troops near the entry to the dwarven village. - You can talk with him about himself and the town. - At some point in time, he asks you if you want to test your strength with him. Pay him 1,000,000 gold and you get to fight a tough battle against lots and lots of dwarven troops, but for no reward other than XP.

Important Note: There is a bug in the quests on Tungsinn. The quests must be done in a certain order or you will not be able to complete them.

Although you told him that his entire fleet of longboats had been destroyed upon the rocks, he nevertheless insisted that you at least uncover any traces of his missing son, who had command of the ships. Important note: There appears to be a bug in this quest. You are to find a flag, Odin's Flag, and give it to King Asvald. You can also buy this flag is some shops. If you have already bought the flag, when you undertake this quest, apparently the game assumes you found the flag, but King Asvald does not acknowledge that you have it in your possession. Thus, you can never complete the quest. I tried deleting the bought flag from my inventory and that made no difference. Luckily, this is not a game-stopping bug. [92.1] Find the traces of King Asvald's son on Fastland. - The king asked you to go to Fastland and find his son, who is probably shipwrecked. - I've found this flag in two different locations in different games.

Why oh why do adventurers get into this profession, anyway? Why don't they just get a job with FedEx. - After you get Ratmir's stolen ornaments, he will make the dress. - You can ask Ratmir if he would make something that no one else has, and will give you another task - to talk to Heksus on Demonis; this starts [96] Luxury Outfit.

[94.3] Take the Ring of Chastity to Hestra. - Well, she's happy with that. [94.4] Tell Johan that Hestra gives her consent. - He's delighted and gives you some videos of the wedding night festivities . . . no, no, no, that's wrong. Just plain wrong. - You do get the Shield of Rekross, Crystal Helmet or some other fancy bauble. [95] Plundered Stylist Riftland. You came across a Viking shopkeeper who prefers the needle and thimble over the sword and shield.

[96.3] Acquire a werewolf's skin. - After he takes the werewolf skin, he wants you to get 5 silver plates in Arlania. [96.4] Bring Ratmir five silver plates.

[98.1] Give Torfin the tableware. - This completes the quest. - You can now ask Torfin if he needs any more help and get the quest [99] Werewolf Killer. [99] Werewolf Killer Riftland.

You should spend some time talking with each one as you acquire them. This will give you some background information and you can learn about their abilities. Each Valkyrie gives you a new rage ability and all of them give you a passive benefit just for having them in your party. How powerful their benefit is depends on how leveled-up they are. You can also choose a single "senior" Valkyrie whose passive benefit is heavily boosted. For example, if you have Gudrida as your senior and she is level 1, you will gain +4 to rage. With Gudrida as the senior and she is level 3, you will gain +16 to rage. Nice. You level them up by donating items to them and each likes different items. Each of them also has an out-of-combat spell that you can ask them to cast such as buffing your whole army for the next battle, giving you gold for your troops that die, or giving you rage for the next fight, again based on how leveled they are. How to Level-up your Valkyrie. Each Valkyrie wants a different sort of item. Look at their message screen to determine what item they require. Right click the item and choose donate. Often nothing seems to happen when you do this, but just hover your mouse over their portrait and you see their name and what level they are at currently. When they reach level 4, they will give you a quest. You need to give a Valkyrie one item to level her from 1 to 2; you need to give her 2 items to level her from level 2 to 3; and you need to give her 4 items to level her to level 4. For every level, both the passive bonus and the active bonus that each Valkyrie gives you gets better. To get a Valkyrie to level 5, you need to finish her personal quest.
