This game is the origional Fable with a whole bunch of new add-ins and quests for your playing pleasure, an expansion so to speak. This is an action/adventure RPG that's fun to play even though it's extremely easy combat wise. This game offers decent play control, great graphics, a good main story line, side stories that will vary depending on your actions, crappy sound (on the PC anyways), and a great way to waste an entire weekend avoiding your psychotic girlfriend. What makes this such a good game is the fact that every little action you do affects your character, the whole game is pretty much based upon the moral decisions you'll have to make. This has been attempted and failed by gaming companies in the past but Microsoft actually did something right this time because they pounded the nail into the coffin with this type of game and blew it out of the funeral parlor. This games offers hundreds of choices to make and you can actually form relationships with people, get married, become Mayor, become an Assassin, turn into a grimey thief, buy a home and rent it out to people, way too many choices to list so have fun and get ready for a really great gaming experience. Only two or three games a year of this calibur come onto the market and I recommend this game to the world. The only thing Microsoft missed is offering a female character to play the game through for all of the women gamers out there. They do exist, although quite rare. You'd have better luck playing Pick up Stix with your butt cheeks or finding a Kangaroo in the Alaskan Wilderness than you would finding a die hard female gamer. This is an M rated game and so is my guide, to some extent, I do throw the occasional shit, douchebag, or asshole word in here and there but I do stay away from the more severe words (except in my E-mail Rules section). Just warning you, I'm letting you know right off the bat what to expect if you choose to use my guide so if you offend easily then this may not be the best guide for you to be using. Some may find this immature, crude, tasteless, or downright tacky but let's just say I was in a blueberry haze when I wrote this and leave it at that. ................................................................... ----------------------------------------------- * 2) MORE WALKTHROUGHS BY ME, VERSION HISTORY * ----------------------------------------------- >>> Other top-quality Walkthroughs I have written: 1) Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M. 2) Neverwinter Nights 3) Neverwinter Nights: Shadows Of Undrentide 4) Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark 5) Neverwinter Nights Gold Edition 6) Neverwinter Nights Platinum Edition 7) Quake II 8) Shadow Man 9) Shadow Man 2econd Coming 10) The Suffering 11) The Suffering: Ties That Bind 12) Turok 2: Seeds of Evil You can ALWAYS find all of my guides and latest versions at: www.gamefaqs.com >>> VERSION HISTORY: Version 1.0 October 2007 This is the first complete version of my guide. I'm sure I missed things here and there with all the choices you can make and I'd appreciate the feedback letting me know what I missed, I will of course credit you for any information you provide that I use in this guide. After writing this I'm Fabled out and really don't want to search for things that I may have missed. All of the weapons, items, major items, quests, and side quests are found/completed and in my guide so at least those aspects are covered. The only thing I know I missed for sure was the location of Treasure Clue #3 but I do tell you where the treasure is located. Video games are great, until you write a guide for one and then it just sucks the fun right out of it. I can't write a guide for a game and then still be able to enjoy playing it (with the exception of Neverwinter Nights). Version 1.5 January 2008 Added another website this is leagally posted on and fixed some typos. Version 2.0 Februray 2008 Added in the location of the last trasure clue (#3) that a reader named David Trout sent me. Thank you David, because of you this guide is officially complete. Also added the treasure you get by finding all the clues. Version 2.5 April, 2008 Finally added in what prize you receive for offering people for sacrifice in the Chapel of Skorm. Thanks to Erik Pirmann for letting us all know. ................................................................... ---------------------------------- * 3) A WORD FROM THE GUILDMASTER * ---------------------------------- Congratulations are in store for you. The fact you have been proved with the Book of the Guild means you must be one of a lucky few with enough potential to be invited here as a Hero apprentice. We consider this text sacred and even, I would say, magical. You would be wise to study it carefully from cover to cover in order to unveil its many secrets. The task ahead of you will not be an easy one. Only through years of hard work can you hope to unleash your latent powers. During its long history the guild has seen many apprentices fail through idleness and overconfidence, and I would be sorry to see one with potential such as you throw it all away. Albion needs its Heroes now more than ever. Becoming a Hero of Renown means achieving great things, and to accomplish less than greatness is to have done next to nothing at all. You must understand that, for the Guild, greatness has no bearing with regard to perceived good or evil. No, it has more to do with the Renown one achieves through actions, regardless of mortality. Be forewarned that the work necessary to become a Hero is not to be taken half-heartedly. On the contrary, this will be a most gruelling and arduous training, encompassing all aspects of mind, body, and spirit. I say this without a wisp of doubt. We require that you apply yourself as never before, but having done that, the rewards and Renown you may achieve are unimaginable. This said, if you do finally graduate from this Heros' Guild, you may even one day be acknowledged as the greatest hero ever to stride the cobbled paths of Albion. Statues have been erected all over the land in honor of those few Great Ones who came before you, those laid to rest and permanently entombed at the Guild. We may only hope our success in training you will one day flame your successes throughout Albion, coarse a place as it is. Go now, and seek your destiny. ................................................................... -------------------------------------- * 4) THE WORLD OF FABLE AND MORALITY * -------------------------------------- While playing this game you'll have lots of moral decisions to make and you can shape and forge your character into a good guy by doing good deeds and not stealing, killing innocents, and helping people out whenever you can. Or you can become a neutral sort of fellow by not doing good or bad deeds and staying out of everyones business. If you are trying to be a neutral character and your alignment shifts towards good, then do some bad deeds to balance the alignment scale back to neutral, and vice versa if your alignment shifts towards evil. And if you'd like you can become a sick, twisted, evil bastard by killing innocents, stealing, pillaging, and helping bad people do bad things. OR you can become a character in-between all of these. Your physical appearence will be dramatically altered depending on what alignment your character has. Your character will have something called the Renown Status and this will determine how people view you and interact with you. The moral decisions you make will alter the side stories somewhat so choose wisely as to what type of character you would like to become. You can also play through the game numerous times with all types of moralities, the possibilities can keep you busy for a very long time if you wish to explore them all. ................................................................... ------------------------------------------------------ * 5) GAMEPLAY BASICS, COMBAT BASICS, AND LEVELING UP * ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- ~ GAMEPLAY BASICS ~ ------------------- - HEALTH BAR: This is located in the top left corner of the game screen and is red. - MANA BAR: This is located directly beneath the health bar and is blue. This slowly recharges on its own, I'm talking turtle speed. - RESURRECTION PHIALS: Next to the health and mana bars is a heart, the number inside of the heart lets you know how many potions you have left. - MINI MAP: In the upper right hand corner of the game screen is a map of the area you're in. Green dots represent shops and people of interest. Red dots indicate hostiles. Light blue dots represent people you can't interact with. A purple dot represents a Demon Door. A white dot represents a Cullis Gate. A flashing gold dot is the current MAIN QUEST you are doing. A flashing silver dot represents what side quest(s) you are trying to complete. - CLOCK: To the right of the mini map is a clock and I'm almost sure you can figure out how to tell the time. - AWARENESS EYE: To the left of the mini map is an eyeball. If you are around people then this eye will be open so they can see your every move so don't steal or do bad deeds and act accordingly if you choose. If it is half closed there are people in the vicinity so be careful if you're stealing stuff. If the eye is all the way closed that means no one can see you so you can be as evil as you want so go ahead and take a dump behind the Tavern next to the barrels of whiskey if you please. The number inside of the eye indicates how many people are in your vicinity watching you. - CULLIS GATES: Throughout the game you will venture upon many gates surrounded by blue light, enter the gate to teleport to other Cullis Gates all around Albion. - GUILD SEAL: This is given to you after you have completed training at the Heroes' Guild, it is located in the bottom left corner of the game screen. This allows you to teleport to a Cullis Gate, you don't have to be in a Cullis Gate in order to teleport elsewhere if you use this, you may also recall yourself to where you used it last. The default PC control for this is "G." - CONTEXT SENSITIVE ITEMS: Above your Guild Seal are three little slots numbered F1-F3 and whenever you see something pop up in this you can use that item/expression. These context sensitive items are only available when they appear, if you leave the vicinity they will disappear and you have no control as to what pops up in these little slots. Pay very close attention to these slots so you know where to use your shovel, give a gift to someone, fart in someones face, flip someone the bird, or whatever. - HOTBAR: Next to your Guild Seal is the hotbar numbered 1-9, simply drag items into this so you can use them by pressing the designated number instead of going through the long tedious inventory process to use an item. - INTERACT: The action button to interact with people, items, and so on, the PC control for this is "Tab." - EXPRESSIONS: This game has many expressions and actions you can use to interact with people, which will differ depending on your alignment and Renown Status. Some of these are crude but funny like farting, grabbing your ball sack, smacking your ass and telling people to kiss it, and so on. There are a lot of nice expressions you can use also. - BOASTING: Whenever you take a Quest Card you can stand on a pedestal and boast about the adventure you're about to embark upon, and if you live up to your boasting you'll get extra gold and Renown Points. Be weary though, if you fail in your boasts you won't get any extra gold or renown so don't go around being an egotistical douchebag claiming you can do things that you cannot, also people will laugh at and make fun of you if you fail to fulfill a boast. How's that for an ego popper? - SHOWING OFF: If your character is the type of person who thinks his shit doesn't stink he can run around and show off his battle earned trophies to win praise from the local idiots. Doing this will earn you some extra Renown Points if you can show it off to a certain amount of people in the time alloted. - TRADING: When you go to a store to buy some equipment or run into a vendor on the road, check their wanted list and if you have an item they need you can sell it to them for way more gold than they would normally pay for that item. - RESTING: You can sleep at the local Tavern to recover fully and to make approximately ten hours pass by. You can also sleep in tents and other peoples' beds. - STEALTH MODE: Press "Caps Lock" to go into stealth mode so you can sneak up on people. - IN-GAME MENU: Go in here to save your game, view past and current quests, look at all of your items and equipment, check your Hero Status which has TONS of information about your character, read books, and all sorts of other stuff. The details in this game are stunning when you think about it. - QUESTS: Main quests are marked with a gold marker, side quests are marked with a silver or bronze marker. ----------------- ~ COMBAT BASICS ~ ----------------- - UNSHEATHING YOUR SWORD: For PC players the default control is "Q" to unsheathe your weapon, press the left mouse button to swing your blade. - DRAWING YOUR BOW: For PC players the default control to draw your bow is "E," use the left mouse button to fire and hold the button down for a couple of seconds to fire a more powerful shot. While drawing an arrow you can go into first person view by right clicking the mouse, you can then zoom in on the enemy by using the mouse wheel for a more accurate shot. - USING MAGIC: This game has a lot of defensive and offensive spells to choose from. For PC players to use a spell press and hold "Left Shift," then left or right click the mouse to use the spell you want. To cycle through your spells to assign to the left or right mouse buttons hold "Left Shift" and press "O," or you can do this by holding "Left Shift" and cycling through the spells with the "Mouse Wheel." - LOCKING ONTO ENEMIES: For PC players, to lock onto an enemy hit the "Space Bar." - COMBAT MULTIPLIER: When combating enemies you'll see the Combat Multiplier appear below your health and mana bars. If you hit the enemy repeatedly without getting struck in return this multiplier will keep getting higher, the higher you get the Combat Multiplier the more experience points you'll receive for the battle. - BLOCKING: To parry an enemies strike press the "Mouse Wheel." You can also roll out of the arching death blows the enemies swing at you while blocking by moving left, right, forwards or backwards. - FLOURISH: After you hit an enemy a few times without taking any blows in return your melee weapon will turn purple and begin to glow, this means you can do a powerful attack by pressing the right mouse button which will knock the enemy to the ground or decapitate them. Once you're hit by an enemy the flourish icon disappears and you have to build it up again. This attack is quite powerful and comes in handy while up against the tougher foe. --------------- ~ LEVELING UP ~ --------------- - GENERAL EXPERIENCE POINTS: Just regular experience points to collect, kill the enemies any way you'd like to collect these green glowing orbs. Use the "Left Shift" key to make all of the orbs in the area come to you. You should try to kill all of the enemies around you before collecting these so you can gain more experience points, especially if you got your Combat Multiplier up in the twenties or thirties. - STRENGTH EXPERIENCE POINTS: Use your fists and melee weapons to be rewarded these points. - SKILL EXPERIENCE POINTS: To get these kind of points you will have to use your Bow. - WILL EXPERIENCE POINTS: Use magic spells if you'd like to gain will points. - RENOWN POINTS: This doesn't have anything to do with leveling up but I thought this would be the appropriate place to put this. Whenever you do a deed, whether it's good or evil, you'll get Renown Points for the deed that will go towards your Renown Status, killing enemies and completing quests also earns you Renown Points. Renown Status determines how people view you as a whole and effects the way they interact with you, good Renown Status will earn you respect and admiration, evil Renown Status will earn you nothing but fear and pity. When you've earned enough Renown Points the Guildmaster will inform you of your new Renown Status. With each new Renown Status comes new expressions you'll get to use. To level your character up you must be in the Heroes' Guild. Next to the Quest Map Table is a green and glowing pedestal, walk up to it to level your character up. You have three catagories to choose from, Strength, Skill, and Will and each one has sub-catagories. This is like an experience store because you have to buy your upgrades with all of your earned experience points which will get quite expensive for the higher level characters. Select a catagory and then buy the upgrades you want, simple. I like the fact that you can choose to customize your character abilities any way you want and they're not automatically assigned like a lot of other RPG's I have played in the past. If you want to buy something out of the Will/Skill/Strength catagory and don't have enough Will/Skill/Strength points don't worry because you can use the general experience points to buy from any catagory. Here's the upgrades available: STRENGTH CATAGORY: - PHYSIQUE: Dictates the force with which you can swing a weapon and thus the amount of damage you can cause. With greater strength also comes the ability to weild heavier weapons and wear heavier armor. - HEALTH: Purchasing this upgrade will increase the length of your Health Bar. The maximum number of upgrades you can purchase for this is seven, which will make you quite the healthy character if all seven are purchased. Don't forget there are also Elixir's to find that do this also. - TOUGHNESS: This dictates your natural armor, your ability to withstand blows from the enemy. Obviously the tougher and more hardened you are the less damage you'll take in battle. SKILL CATAGORY: - SPEED: This will increase your agility in combat and gives you a better rate of fire for ranged weapons and a faster swing time for melee weapons. - ACCURACY: This is a good upgrade to buy if you use your bow a lot for this will make you more accurate while using ranged weapons. - GUILE: This will make your character be able to bargain with vendor's for better prices on their goods. This also helps your stealth to sneak up on enemies and people, which is a plus for your character if he's a Thief or an Assassin. WILL CATAGORY: - ATTACK SPELLS: All offensive spells, there are seven spells to choose from. - SURROUND SPELLS: These are primarily all defensive spells and you have five to choose from. - PHYSICAL SPELLS: A combination of offensive and defensive spells, there are six to choose from. - MAGIC POWER: Purchase this upgrade to increase your Mana Bar, the maximum amount of upgrades available is seven. Don't forget there are also Elixir's you can find that will raise your Mana Bar. >>> I will not list all of the available spells here, look in the Magic Spells section of this guide to see all of the available spells. ................................................................... -------------------------------------------- * 6) TATTOOS, HAIR STYLES, AND FACIAL HAIR * -------------------------------------------- ---------- ~ TATTOOS ~ ---------- >>> To receive tattoos just visit a tattooist and purchase whatever ones you please, you'll also find quite a few lying all over the place, you can also buy them from traveling vendors all around Albion.

Read the customizing tutorial and have fun designing your own body art to show off around Albion. --------------- ~ HAIR STYLES ~ --------------- >>> To receive a haircut or new face hair simply visit the local Barber in the towns you venture upon and buy whatever hair/face style you wish. You'll also find haircut cards all over the place so don't worry about it if you're a penny pincher, it's only about fifty gold pieces per style anyways you cheap bastard. Also note that if you get a buzz or short hair cut then your hair will eventually grow back, I've never seen this in a video game and I think it's a cool idea. - NORMAL HAIRCUT: Styles your hair the way it looked when you graduated from the Guild. - PUDDING BASIN: If you're into soap operas then this is the style for you. - PONY TAIL: Don't tell me you need an explanation. - YOUNGSTER STYLE: If you're into Goth then this is the style for you. - THE BUZZ: What a nice edge-up and blend-in. - BALD: Is in. Why? - SHORT: Just a standard short hair doo. - WARRIOR STRIPE: A mohawk.

To make them call you something else simply find a Hero Title Vendor (there's one right outside the door to the Guild in Lookout Point and near The Arena) and buy a new title from him.

You know you'll have to buy one if you plan on marrying, or maybe you'll find one in a chest somewhere, steal one from someone, or fish it out of the water. - FAKE WEDDING RING: For cheap bastards who don't want to fork out the dough, be warned though, this thing is easily spotted as a fugazi so try not to get slapped in the face when your wife finds out she married a cheapskate, or was about to marry one. - PERFUME: What a perfect gift to give a woman on her birthday or to just say "I love you." - JET: A large black stone which is, as everyone knows, quite rare so be careful whom you give these to. - EMERALD: A large green stone to be presented to people you want to have a friendship with. - SAPPHIRE: A purple stone that will certainly gain "oohs and aahs" from the village idiots. - DIAMOND: After failing miserably with the rose and chocolates, give the chic one of these and it's off to the local inn for you. Maybe. - AMTHEYST: The rareist gem in the game for there is only two. Look all you want for a third one but you'll never succeed. ----------- ~ PRODUCE ~ ----------- - GREEN APPLE: Restores a miniscule ammount of health when eaten. - APPLE PIE: Restores a bit more health than apples. - BLUEBERRY PIE: Restores the same ammount of health as an apple pie and is quite the rare item. - RAW MEAT: Out of all the produce this restores the most health so loosen that jaw and eat up, it also gives you three strength experience points when you eat one. Hope you have strong teeth. - FISH: Restores health when eaten, given prizes when weighed if it's big enough. These will also give you three will experience points when eaten. - CARROT: Eating a carrot will give you three skill experience points and restore a small amount of health. - TOFU: Can't leave those yuppie vegetarians out, I bet that they won't even eat meat in a video game. Morons. This restores a nice amount of health. When eaten this will also give you five good points, how lame. - CRUNCHY CHICKY: A tasty baby chicken that restores some health. Don't choke on the bones. When eaten these will give you five bad points, stupid. - GOLDEN CARROT: When eaten this turns night into day, how gay, Calgon take me away. - MOONFISH: This will turn day into night, oh what a fright, hope you got a light. I am no poet which is certainly a plus the way I see it. - FLOUR SACK: No purpose except trading for profit. - GRAIN SACK: No purpose except trading for profit. - CIDER CRATE: No purpose except trading for profit. - BEER: Drink it up to feel all warm and woozy, also restores some health but don't drink too much unless you want Hep C. - BEER KEG: Throw a party at your place and invite nothing but chics, hope you got lots of chocolate, jewels, and roses! I'm sure the alchohol will help you out in this situation, if only a little. If you still can't wet your whistle stick in a house full of women then go and jump off of a highway overpass into a deep ravine, there's no hope for you. --------- ~ OTHER ~ --------- - GUILD SEAL: This allows you to transport to a Cullis Gate, you don't have to be in a Cullis Gate in order to transport to one if you use this. The default PC control for this is "G." - LAMP: A simple lantern that is pretty much useless. A Bic lighter on a windy night produces more light than this does. This will attract enemies at night if lit so beware. - SILVER KEYS: You will find silver keys all over the place to open up the chests found throughout the game that require silver keys to open. When you open up one of these chests you will not lose any of these keys so if you had twelve keys and opened a chest that requires five, you'll still have twelve keys and not seven. There are thirty silver keys to find. - FISHING ROD: Use this in the water to catch fish. If you see bubbles in the water stop and put your line into the bubbley water to catch an item. Yes, an item, like a silver key or a skill potion, you never know what you'll reel in out of the bubbles. - ROD OF CHAMPIONS: Way better than the regular one that's for sure. To get this you must play the fishing game in Fisher's Creek and win the rod by catching a really big fish. - SPADE: A shovel to dig up items. Keep an eye on the context sensitive icons so you know where to dig up the more important items like silver keys. You can dig anywhere you want to try for a random potion or buried booty but obviously some places are better for digging than others if you just used some common sense. - HERO DOLLS: To obtain a Hero Doll you have to play bar games in a certain time frame and stuff like that. Look up how to get them in section twenty two of this guide. - TREASURE CLUES: There are saix clues to find. Yes, there is a quite extravagent buried booty somewhere in Albion. ................................................................... -------------------------- * 11) ARMOR AND CLOTHING * -------------------------- >>> I'm just listing the basics, look at the stats for these items in the game. Obviously the higher the armor rating the more protection that piece of armor/clothing provides. -------- ~ HEAD ~ -------- - FISHERMAN'S HAT: To obtain this you must win it by catching a large fish in the fishing tournament.

No, I'm not fooling. After that beer keg bust of a party you can always pay for it, but you're risking a case of ghona-herpe-syphil-aids if you do, rubber or not. 50 armor rating. - REDHEAD WIG: Way too weird to even think about, 50 armor rating. -

I also list their locations. - WELLOW'S PICKHAMMER: This hammer is a decent weapon to use for a while, it causes 120 damage and is augmented with TWO piercing jewels. This is found behind the Demon Door in the Greatwood Gorge. - CUTLASS BLUETANE: This is the most powerful Cleaver in the game that causes 165 damage and is augmented with a lightning jewel. This is found behind the Demon Door in Greatwood Caves and is very difficult to achieve so pat yourself on the back when, and if, you get this weapon. - ARKEN'S CROSSBOW: This is found in a Silver Key Treasure Chest in Darkwood Lake by the whore house that requires fifteen keys to open. This is the most powerful ranged weapon in the game, it causes 220 damage and is augmented with silver, piercing, and flame jewels. Quite the nice find this bow is. - THE KATANA HIRYU: This is found in a Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires fifteen keys to open and is located in Lady Grey's bedroom. It causes 214 damage and is augmented with flame and sharpening jewels. This is the most powerful Katana you can weild, a great find this weapon is. - DOLLMASTER MACE: This is found behind the Demon Door on the Abandonded Road. This is the most powerful Mace in the game that causes 135 damage and is augmented with a mana jewel. Let the head bashings commence! - MURREN GREATHAMMER: This is located inside of a Silver Key Treasure Chest in the Hereoes' Guild that requires twenty keys to open. This weapon causes 270 damage and is augmented with experience and piercing jewels. This is the most powerful Greathammer available in the game. - MURREN GREATAXE: This is found in the Lighouse in Hook Coast inside of a Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires fifteen keys to open. It is augmented with a piercing jewel and causes 240 damage. This is the most powerful Greataxe in the game. - THE HARBRINGER: This weapon is in the Temple of Avo area stuck inside of a boulder, this is also a side quest. To pull it out simply max out your strength upgrades. It causes 198 damage and is augmented with piercing and sharpening jewels. - THE SWORD OF AEONS: This is the Jack of Blades sword and causes 230 damage and is augmented with mana, experience, and health jewels. - AVO'S TEAR: This is found in another side quest, the Hidden Sword, and causes 230 damage and is augmented with mana, health, and experience jewels. - RONOK THE AXE: This awesome axe is behind the Demon Door in Grey House. It causes 165 damage and is augmented with silver and sharpening jewels. - THE BEREAVER: This is behind the Demon Door in Necropolis. It causes 285 damage damage and is augmented with a flame jewel. This is the most powerful weapon in the game but the swing time is slow 'cause it's a Greatsword. - THE AVENGER: This crappy sword is in a Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires thirty keys to open. It causes 180 damage and is augmented with flame and lightning jewels. You'd think there would be a better weapon in a chest that requires all of your silver keys, but nope, got ripped off yet again! - THE SENTINUS: This is the most powerful Greatmace in the game and causes 255 damage and is augmented with silver and piercing jewels. To obtain this weapon will require you to donate 50,000 gold (at one time) to the Temple of Avo. ................................................................... --------------------------- * 13) AUGMENTATION JEWELS * --------------------------- Augmenting a melee or a ranged weapon is a great way to increase the amount of damage delivered to an enemy by your arching death blows or arrows. There are Augmentation Jewels to find, earn, and buy all over Albion so keep your eyeballs peeled. Once you augment a weapon you cannot undo it so choose wisely 'cause some of these jewels are extremely rare. Some weapons allow you to do more than one augmentation to it but never more than three so again choose wisely. There are eight different Augmentation Jewels you can find, you will most likely find more than one of the same jewel for most of them, not all. And remember that not all weapons are augmentable. YOU CANNOT AUGMENT ARMOR, so please, no e-mail's asking me how. Here's the available augmentations: - FLAME AUGMENTATION: Adds flame damage to your melee weapon or arrows. - LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION: Adds electricity damage to your melee weapon or arrows. - HEALTH AUGMENTATION: When augmented on a weapon this will slowly regenerate your health. Choose wisely as to what weapon you put this jewel on because these are extremely rare. - SILVER AUGMENTATION: Use this augmentation to slay the Undead and Balverine's with ease. - SHARPENING AUGMENTATION: This makes your melee weapon sharper and thus better to cut through a Bandits armor, likewise on arrows. - PIERCING AUGMENTATION: This will make your melee weapon and arrows pierce thick hided armor and skin with ease, likewise on arrows. - MANA AUGMENTATION: When augmented on a weapon this will slowly regenerate your mana. Another rare item so choose wisely as to what weapon you want this jewel embedded in. - EXPERIENCE AUGMENTATION: If this is on your weapon while you use it you'll receive more experience points from slain enemies. The rarist augmentation jewel in the game and can only be BOUGHT, not found, for a puke inducing amount of gold. A couple of found weapons are augmented with an experience jewel so don't waste your money on it. ................................................................... -------------------- * 14) MAGIC SPELLS * -------------------- >>> This game offers a vast ammount of spells at your disposal. All of these spells can be upgraded to level four, no higher. The spells are quite weak at first but will become significantly more poweful with each upgrade you purchase. Your offensive spells will also damage any nearby allies or innocent people so keep this in mind when you use these types of spells if people are around. ----------------- ~ ATTACK SPELLS ~ ----------------- - ENFLAME: This spell will make a wall of fire surround you to set the enemies ablaze. - FIREBALL: One of my favorite spells. You can launch a fireballs great distances if you buy this spell. - BATTLE CHARGE: This spell wil make you charge all the way across the screen to bowl over all of the enemies that are in the way. - MULTI STRIKE: Makes you swing your blade numerous times. Comes in handy while battling the tougher foe like Minions. - LIGHTNING: Don't even bother with this spell, I think it sucks, even if you max it out. - DIVINE FURY: This will make pillars of light come down from the Heavens to destroy the enemy with ease. - INFERNAL WRATH: Summon a circle of flames from the pits of Hell to totally consume the enemy in pillars of fire. This is one of the most powerful spell in the game so max it out ASAP and use it frequently. Once you max this out you will be unstopable. The only downfall for this spell is that it doesn't give you much Will Experience Points when you use it. Bastards! ------------------- ~ SURROUND SPELLS ~ ------------------- - FORCE PUSH: I advise you to purchase this spell immediately. Use this if you get surrounded by the enemy to make them all get pushed back and thrown to the ground. The higher spell level you are the further the enemy will get pushed away, obviously. - TURNCOAT: Turns enemies into allies to help you fight. - SLOW TIME: Slows enemies but not you, very useful. - DRAIN LIFE: Steals health from the enemy to add to your health with every successful blow you land. - SUMMON: This will allow you to summon a creature to help you plow your way through the never ending hordes. ------------------- ~ PHYSICAL SPELLS ~ ------------------- - PHYSICAL SHIELD: Temporarily protects you so you won't take any damage, you can get your Combat Multiplier up really high if you use this. Instead of taking health damage you'll receive all of the damage delivered by the enemy in your mana bar so have a bunch of will potions on hand when you use this. - BERSERK: Use this to go ape shit and embark upon a slice-n-dice extravaganza! For real, if you use this you'll turn into a sword swinging maniac. - ASSASSIN RUSH: This will make you transport behind the enemy so you can slice their throats from behind. - HEAL LIFE: A good spell to purchase. You may also use this on allies and people you have to rescue. - GHOST SWORD: Summons a sword to help you chop the enemy up into itsy- bitsy, teency-weency, bit size pieces that are just the right size to season and stew in the crockpot. Yuuuummmy. - MULTI ARROW: When you use this you will launch numerous arrows at the freaks running around if you use your bow, a great spell to add to your arsenal. ................................................................... --------------- * 15) ENEMIES * --------------- >>> None of these enemies are very unique and I'm sure you'll notice that they are nothing new to action/adventure games and there will certainly be no surprises so don't expect any. While playing this game you will definitely notice that it is quite simple when it comes to combating these enemies, it's almost effortless once your character gets around level five. - BEETLE: Weak, fragile little buggers that die with one whack from your weapon or fist. - BEETLE CAPTAIN: Quite larger than their little brothers with a lot more power to boot. Fire is their weakness. - WASPS: A bit more powerful than beetles but still nothing to fear. - BANDIT: These morons are the most frequented enemy encountered in the game. They are armed with melee weapons and bows and are quite weak. - BANDIT CAPTAIN: The biggest Bandit you can run into. They are more poweful than their underlings and will cause a nice amount of damage if you let them. Fireballs and arrows launched from a distance are your best defenses while up against these guys, Force Push them if they get too close for comfort. - ASSASSIN: These guys are dressed in black, what a surprise, and are really tough. - HOBBE: Short, fat, goblin type cretures that are incredibly tough. Some of them cast magic while others beat your ass with a sledgehammer or battle axe. - HOBBE CAPTAIN: Quite larger than the Hobbes under their command and are armed with two meat cleavers or sledgehammers to slice and slam you into bloody little chunks. - BALVERINE: Simply put, Werewolves that will kill you faster than Star Jones can suck down a pack of twinkies. I find these cretants incredibly annoying due to the fact that while you're slicing them up they will disappear and come back a couple of seconds later. Lame. - WOOD NYMPH: A nasty little fairy that summons Scorpions to piss all over your parade, they'll also cover you in vines to immobilize you. - WATER NYMPH: Just like the above fairies except they summon Hobbes. Infernal Wrath these little wench fairies to destroy them with ease. - EARTH TROLL: Big giant green monsters that rise out of the ground. They are incredibly tough and the best way to deal with them is to hit the boulders they toss at you back to them. This will take some practice to master since it requires perfect timing but once you do they will be no problem. - ROCK TROLL: Big giant rock creatures that are about twice as tough as the previous Troll. The best way to deal with these is to get right up on it, it will look down at you so whack it a few times and then parry and roll back before he slams you into the ground. Roll back into it and repeat this process, it takes a while to slay but this is a sure way to insure that will take NO damage if you kill them this way. - ICE TROLL: Not encountered until near the end of the game and are the most powerful Troll. They act like the other two Troll's if you get too close to them and will slam you six feet under, they'll send a wall of snow your way from a distance that is easy to avoid. Fireballs, level four, from a distance is your best defense here. Flame augmented arrows are also a good defense here. - UNDEAD SKELETONS: The best way to deal with the Undead is with a silver augmented weapon. No matter what type of weapon you use on these will slay them down rather quick for they are not that strong. - UNDEAD SKELETON CAPTAIN: Way more powerful than regular Undead so you might want to use magic, they are very skilled at parrying your blows so use the flourish move on them to cut them down with ease. - MINION: These things remind me of the dog faced statues in ancient Egypt, don't ask me why. These are incredibly tough creatures and are super skilled in parrying so use your flourish move and powerful attack spells to rid yourself of this menace. - MINION SUMMONER: Like the above bozos but slightly weaker. They cast fireballs at you from a distance and will summon regular Minions to piss all over your parade. - SCREAMER: Undead ghosts that are extremely weak, one chop from your melee weapon will take these out if it's decent enough and augmented up. - SUMMONER: These are giant resurrected ghost warriors and are some of the toughest enemies in the game. If you get too close to them they'll slam their swords through your head to plow you into the ground, from afar they launch big magic balls your way that will knock you on your ass if struck. I found that the best way to take them out is to put on your Physical Shield and use the Berserk spell. - WRAITH: An ice monster found in the Northern Regions of Albion. Fire is your best defense here. ................................................................... ---------------------------- * 16) HINTS AND STRATAGIES * ---------------------------- - Whenever you use your flourish move on an enemy and knock it to the ground try to get behind them so that when they stand up you can slay them from behind like a coward. Use this stratagy on the bigger enemies like Minions and Undead Captains. - You *DO NOT* have to use a silver augmented weapon to kill a White Balverine or any other kind of undead creature. Silver will slay them quicker but it is not necessary to kill these kinds of foe. - This stratagy applies to Rock Trolls. The best way to deal with these is to get right up on it, it will look down at you so whack it about ten times and then the Rock Troll will get ready to slam you into the ground, parry and roll back before he slams you. Roll back into it and repeat this process, this is a sure way to insure that will take NO damage if you kill them like this. If you are far away from them then they will throw boulders at you, just use your melee weapon to send the boulders back to them. - Earth Trolls on the other hand act different than a Rock Troll but kind of the same. They toss giant grass balls your way that you can deflect back to them with your melee weapon. If you take them out the way I suggested you kill a Rock Troll they will act quicker to slam you into the ground. Just use the roll in, roll out atratagy on these freaks but roll back at least twice as far for when they slam the ground it produces a large shockwave. The Infernal Wrath spell level three will burn these things up in one cast so keep that in mind. - Tip for evil characters: whenever you kill an enemy you will receive good points which is really stupid and pisses me off. This can SERIOUSLY affect your alignment so to counter this game design flaw simply kill all of the innocent people you see walking down the roads throughout the game. You really don't want to kill people in the towns because if you do then an endless amount of guards will attack you and make you pay two grand for each townperson you slay. - When you drink an Ages of Skill, Will, or Might Potion make sure your Combat Multiplier is up in the twenties or thirties, this will make you gain WAY more experience than if you just drank it when you found it. When you drink these potions the experience gained in that catagory will be whatever number your Combat Multiplier is times a thousand, *NOT 100*, one thousand. Hellyeah! - Whenever you eat carrots, meat, or fish also make sure your Combat Multiplier is up there. Eating carrots will give you three Skill Points, eating meat will give you three Strength Points, and eating fish will give you three Will Points. So whenever you eat these foods the experience gained in that catagory will be whatever number your Combat Multiplier is times three. I know, why bother. - Keep an eye on the Awareness Eye if you are stealing stuff in the towns, if it's all the way open someone will see you take the item. If someone does see you commit a crime they will call the guards and you will have to pay a fine or fight the guards so be weary while stealing. If you decide not to pay the fine of 750 smackers EACH offense then sooner or later the guards will overwhelm you and kick you out of the town and take the fine you owe them. If you don't have all of the fine to pay then you will be left with zero gold. If you leave the town before the guards catch you and come back in you'll still owe the fine, even if you change oufits and put on a helmet. Damnit! If you want to steal something with no physical consequences then wait until the eyeball is completely closed. Also note that stealing will earn you some bad points, even if nobody sees you. Breaking barrels and windows is considered vandalism and carries a 250 gold fine if caught. Assault also carries a fine of 250 gold as well as trespassing. Murder will get you a whopping 2,000 gold fine. ................................................................... ------------------------ * 17) GAME WALKTHROUGH * ------------------------ --------- ~ INTRO ~ --------- First and foremost I dislike writing game guides and spoiling things on people but please understand that in this game it just can't be avoided without confusing the masses so I'm apologising in advance for the minor spoilers I throw your way, I won't spoil the story line. This guide is going to play hell on my yahoo inbox and I really don't need any more e-mail's asking dumb questions that can simply be answered by throwing in a spoiler here and there so if you can live with that then read on. This walkthrough was specifically written for Fable: The Lost Chapters and *NOT* the origional Fable so if you use this guide for the origional Fable you're going to be all messed up and confused due to all of the new side quests, items, weapons and what not that were added in the game. I've never played the origional Fable so I can't exactly tell you what was added to it. You will notice that in the beginning of the quests I list items to aquire, I only list important items in there like silver keys, elixirs, trophies, augmentation jewels, and quest related items, I don't list minor items like health/will potions, tattoos, basic weapons and the like. Also note that some side quests take a long time to complete and if you use this guide for the whole game then you will complete these quests. If you are not following this guide for the whole game and are just using this for a quick reference as to how to complete a side quest then I would refer you to the next section, 18), of this guide. I hope this makes it a little easier on the readers and saves you guys some time. This game has a really odd save system so I will explain it so you're not all confused about it. When you are in the middle of a quest you can only do a HERO SAVE which will save all of the completed quests, experience, gold, and non-quest related items you have aquired up to that point. If you save and quit the game in the middle of a quest you will have to do it all over again (even if you were close to completing it) the next time you play and the game will load where the quest began. If you're not in the middle of a quest you may do a WORLD SAVE which is just a normal save and won't affect your game so the next time you load it you'll be where you World Saved at. Why such the aggrevation and complication with saving a game we'll never know, then again, this is a Microsoft product. One more thing for all of the PC players out there using surround sound, there is a glitch in this game that will make the sound during cut scenes fade in and out and of course there's no patch to download to correct it. To fix this really annoying problem go into the Control Panel on your computer and turn the speaker settings to "Desktop Stereo Speakers" and this should correct the problem. You will also notice that some cut scenes are extremely loud so be prepared and don't jump through the ceiling like I did when the sound drastically increases to scare the living crap out of you. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: BIRTHDAY GIFT ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - Nothing important After the opening cut scenes you'll start the game off as a little boy in your home town of Oakvale. It's your sisters birthday and your father hopes you get her a gift, he will give you a gold piece for each good deed you do. Straight ahead of you is a little girl, go and talk to her and you'll find out that she wants you to find her teddy bear Rosie for her. Take notice of the mini map and all of the icons on the screen and get used to them, the green dots on the map are friendlys and you'll see a large blinking gold dot, that is the vendor selling your sisters gift but to buy it you must have three gold pieces. To the right of the little girl is a large white house, run along the side of it to see a married man commiting adultery. Talk to the guy and he'll try and bribe you to keep your mouth shut. If you want to be a character of good morals then reject his bribe, if you want to be an evil character than accept the bribe. Now turn around and head towards the gold dot, just past the dot to the left is the adulterating mans wife standing in front of her home, go and talk to her. You can either tell her what her husband is up to to be credited a good deed or you can keep your mouth shut and don't snitch. To be a real slimebag accept the mans bribe and then tell his wife what he's up to, you'll be up one gold piece if you do. If you tell the woman about her hubby then follow her to watch her tear him a new one. Now head up the path next to the vendor to watch a little scene, you must watch this guys farm for him while he runs an errand. A little kid will begin pestering you to smash all of the barrels, do so if you want but it's considered vandalism and you will get chasitised for the evil act. If you smash all of the barrels in the three barns before the man gets back you'll be rewarded another gold piece. To be credited a good deed just simply wait for the guy to come back. Head back down the path and hang a right when you get the chance to see a bully picking on a child. Go and beat the bullies ass to be credited another good deed, side with the bully and smack the child to be credited an evil deed. If you kick the bullies ass and save the child he'll give you Rosie, if you beat the child up you will take the bear. You can now sell Rosie to the bully to make enough cash for your sisters chocolate if you're evil. Make your way back to where the vendor is and you'll see the little girl you talked to about her teddy bear prancing around, give her the bear if you're good, if evil the bear was sold so don't even waste your time talking to her. Go back to your father to collect the gold for your deeds if you're good then head to the vendor. Buy the candy for your sister and then run up the path directly across from the vendor to the next gold blinking dot. This is your sister, wish her a Happy Birthday and give her the chocolates to advance the game, you can't keep the sweets for yourself, besides, it's your sister dude so give up the box of Russell Stover's you greedy bastard. Leave this little fenced in area and watch the next cut scenes to be horrified. When the scenes are over walk up the path towards the gold dot and cross the fiery bridge to meet Maze, he will then take you to the Heroes' Guild where you will live out the rest of your childhood preparing for vengance. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: GUILD TRAINING ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - BOOK #1 - BOOK #2 - BOOK #3 - BOOK #4 - BOOK #5 - BOOK #6 - BOOK #7 - BOOK #8 - BOOK #9 - BOOK #10 - BOOK #11 - BOOK #12 - BOOK #13 - BOOK #14 - BOOK #15 - BOOK #16 - BOOK #17 - BOOK #18 - 3 RESURRECTION PHIALS - ELIXIR OF LIFE After you watch the next few scenes and meet the Guildmaster and Whisper, you must meet the Guildmaster at the training grounds which is indicated by the gold dot flashing on the mini map. This quest will take you a little while to complete and since you can't World Save yet make sure you have at least half an hour to forty five minutes to spare before attempting your training. It may take you longer or shorter depending on your gaming skills and being an experienced FAQ writer I know A LOT of people out there lack skill and common sense and really have no business playing video games, let alone being allowed to graduate high school. First of all let's grab a bunch of books we'll need to complete a side quest further on in the game. Head up the stairs on the right and then up another set on the right to be in the Main Dorm of the Guild. You'll see bookshelves all around the room, walk up to them and they will get highlighted in blue, press Tab to search the shelves. In this room you'll find BOOK #1: Three Haikus by Miko the Bard. To the right of where you entered this room is another room with a bunch of shelves, search them all to find a Kryndon Tattoo and BOOK #2: A Love Story. Leave this room and hang a right and follow the hallway to another bedroom, search all of the shelves in here to find BOOK #3: A Tale of Maxely. Head back down the stairs that brought you up here and you'll notice a table with a 3D map, you'll find out about this table soon enough, it's the Quest Map Table and the Guildmaster will explain it to you after you complete your training. Anyways, go into the Guild Library, it's to the left of the map table down the stairs, and search all of the shelves for a lot of books. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE NAMES OF THE BOOKS WILL BE RANDOM, I have no idea what shelves you'll search first but it will all even out in the end. You'll find BOOK #4: The Pale Balverine, BOOK #5: The Heiarchy of Weapons, BOOK #6: The Other Land, BOOK #7: Creatures of Albion Book II, BOOK #8: The Old Kingdom, BOOK #9: The Northern Wastes, BOOK #10: The Tale of Twinblade, BOOK #11: The Dragons, BOOK #12: Creatures of Albion Book I, BOOK #13: The Arena, and finally BOOK #14: Creatures of Albion Book III. Holy shit that's a lot of books! Good thing we don't have a weight carrying restriction. Exit the library and head left, then go down the stairs to the left to be in the Dining Area of the Guild, run up the stairs on the right to emerge outside. Hang an immediate right and go past the bridge and straight ahead to be in Maze's Tower. Go up the winding staircase to watch another cut scene, when it's over search all of the shelves to find BOOK #15: A History of the Guild and yet another book, BOOK #16: Jack of Blades. You are reading all of these books, aren't you? You will find out lots of interesting stuff about the Fable World if you are. Head back down the stairs and exit the tower stage left and you'll see two guys talking to eachother on the right. Go up to them and talk to the guy highlighted in green and he will offer you to try and beat his time of running to the Demon Door and back, you can accept or decline the offer. If you do decide to take a shot at his record you will have 50 seconds to live up to the challenge. From the start (hold down the right mouse button to run) run straight and then right, cross the bridge and hang another right, cross another bridge and then run across the stones in the water to be at the Demon Door, now turn around and run back to the guy. If you beat his record you'll receive 25 gold pieces, whoopty-doo. To open the Demon Door you just saw requires a lamp to do so and you won't be getting one until you finish training so don't go bonkers trying to figure out how to open the door. Go back across the bridge and enter the house on the left, talk to the woman in here and she'll let you know that she needs four apples to bake a pie, you can help her out or not, your choice. Exit the house and go left, search all around this area on the ground for apples, there are a total of seven. You'll also spot a light blue treasure chest with the number 20 on it, this is a Silver Key Treasure Chest and the number indicates how many silver keys you must have to open it. Take the apples back to the woman, she'll thank you and reward you with a Blueberry Pie. Now head to the gold blinking dot on the map to meet back up with the Guildmaster to begin melee training. After you complete this easy task you'll be rewarded 20 gold pieces and 30 Renown Points. Now you have a new quest, you must go into the Guild Woods and kill ten Beetles. Head towards the gold dot and enter the Guild Woods, this area is just one big circle so run around it and kill all of the Beetles to be rewarded 20 gold and 40 Renown Points, you'll also pick up a miniscule amount of experience points as well. Return to the Guildmaster and you'll have a choice to stay in childhood, there's no reason to so choose to advance to apprentice training. Remember that if you save the game and quit, then the next time you play you'll have to do this whole quest all over again so make sure you complete the apprentice training and World Save before exiting the game. You are now a teenager and will begin the final stages of your training. First you are to go to the melee arena and duke out a couple of rounds with Whisper, you will be given an Iron Longsword to replace that pathetic stick you're toting around. After you learn how to attack and defend you'll have a real match against Whisper, she's as easy to beat as is it to push in an elevator button. Next you are to go to the Archery Range to learn how to shoot your bow and will be given a Yew Longbow. Get used to using this weapon since archery plays a significant role in combating the enemy. Repeat this training if necessary until you get used to launching arrows. Next you are to head over to Will Training, here you will learn the ways of magic. The lightning spell is the only one you have and you'll have to wait until you level up to buy more spells. After you learn the Ways of the Will the Guildmaster will ask if you would like to proceed to the final test of your apprentice training or if you'd like to play with Whisper. Choose to play with Whisper if you want to gain a better melee weapon, a better Bow, and a Resurrection Phial. Head back to the melee arena and you'll be asked to get graded on your melee skills and if you get an A+ you'll get a prize. All you have to do is beat Whisper again without taking too many blows to be rewarded an Iron Katana. Next go the Archery Range and get graded on your bow skills. To get an A+ you must score at least 151 points to be rewarded a Yew Crossbow. Now head to the magic place and get graded on your magic casting abilities. If you get an A+ you'll be rewarded with a RESURRECTION PHIAL and a Will Potion. All of these tests are very simple to get an A+ in and you should get one on your first tries. If you want to shape your character into a good person then go into the Guild Woods to play with Whisper, get that thought out of your mind you perve. You will see Bandits across the water, take them out with some arrows or magic and Whisper will then run and tell the Guildmaster what a good thing you did. If you want your character to be geared towards the darker evil side then head across the bridge towards the Guild and on the right you'll see a shady fellow standing in front of a statue. Go and talk to him and he'll ask you to kill all of the Sparrows around the castle, he'll even give you five pieces of gold for every bird you kill. Up above you on the rooftop are two birds, go into the courtyard where the guy is that you shattered his record and look all around to shoot all of the birds in this area, the last Sparrow is on the rooftop of the place where you helped the woman bake a pie. There is a total of seven birds to shoot, return to the guy for your righteous reward, and a bonus. The ways of evil are quite tempting for you just about doubled your gold pouch! When you're ready for your final test talk to the Guildmaster and then head to the Guild Woods, here you will test all of your abilities against Maze, he won't attack you at all so have no fear. Maze will teleport elsewhere if you get too close to him during your range and magic tests, just follow the red dot on the mini map if he teleports. First whack him seven times with your sword, then launch seven arrows at him, then fry his ass with seven bolts of lightning and you will have passed the final test. Now you are ready to graduate from the Heroes' Guild, exit the woods and talk to the Guildmaster to do so. Now you are ready to actually begin your adventure and explore the World of Fable extensively. First you should go onto the green and glowing pedestal in front of you, this is how you level up. Follow all of the on-screen prompts to learn how to do so and you should have enough experience points to purchase at least one upgrade so choose it wisely. When you are done leveling up you will have succesfully completed training and you will receive two RESURRECTION PHIALS, a lamp, two health potions, one will potion, an apple pie, 55 gold pieces, 65 Renown Points, and 615 Experience Points, not bad eh? No, I'm not Canadian, not that there's anything wrong with them. Now you can World Save and quit the game if you want without the worry of having to do this quest all over again. Before you head out to the destiny you forge for yourself, return to the Demon Door and turn on your lamp for it, it will then open up so head inside for some loot. In here you'll find BOOK #17: Making Friends on the table, BOOK #18: Book of Spells and a Howl Tattoo on the bookshelves, open up the tresure chest to find an ELIXIR OF LIFE. Drink this potion immediately to permanently increase you Health Bar a little. There are a lot of doors like this throughout the game that will require some sort of offering or task to open so get used to them. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE WASP MENACE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - WASP QUEEN HEAD TROPHY - SILVER KEY #1 Return to the Quest Map Table to learn how to take on quests. Main quests in this game are marked by a gold marker, the side quests will be marked with a silver marker, and while venturing you will come across special side quests and these are indicated by a bronze marker. You can only take on one main quest at a time but you may accept numerous side quests at once so keep this in mind. Also note that all side quests are optional and not required to be completed to beat the game. I'd advise you to only take one side quest at a time because when you take on a side quest a silver dot will be blinking on the mini map, and if you take more than one side quest numerous dots will be flashing on the map and it can get confusing. Anyways, you can't take any side quests yet because your Renown Status isn't high enough so take The Wasp Menace main quest and exit the Guild next to the table. The side quests that are on the table right now will *NOT* become available at *ANY* point in the game so please, no e-mail's on this matter. In Lookout Point head up the road and you'll meet some guy that wants you to kill the wasps in the Picnic Area. Follow him to the crossroads on the mini map and head to the gold dot to enter the Picnic Area. Kill all of the wasps and then the Queen will come out to play, just stand back and kill her with arrows from a distance, this quest is quite the simple one and you shouldn't have any problems completing it. If you are having problems killing the Queen then give up now, bust out the Atari 5600, and jam to Pitfall and Moon Patrol. When the Queen dies you'll be rewarded with her trophy head, 500 gold pieces, and 200 Renown Points, the ammount of experience gained, extra gold and renown varies depending on your combat skills. Walk around the area and pick up all of the apples, pies, and other items. Exit the Picnic Area and go back to the crossroads to see that same bully you saw as a child picking on a helpless beggar. If you're a character of good morals then talk to the beggar, he'll ask you if you can get rid of the bully. To do so you must stick your ass in the bullies face and let a couple of good ones rip. For real, I'm not kidding. The beggar will thank you and you'll earn some good points. If you're a character of evil morals then talk to the bully and he will ask you to help him get rid of the beggar. To do so you must burp in the beggars face and then smack him around. The bully will thank you and you'll earn some evil points. Or you can make the neutral choice of not getting involved in other peoples' affairs. This is *NOT* considered a side quest as other guides available for this game will have you believe. After you make your moral decision you will see vines directly across from you, chop them down and follow the path to find SILVER KEY #1. Head back to the Guild and you'll spot a vendor just to the right of the Guild door. This guy sells Hero Titles so if you don't want to be called "Chicken Choker" for the whole game then purchase a new title from him. They're kind of expensive so if you don't want to fork out a lot of cash this early in the game then wait until your gold pouch gets a little heavier. Enter the Guild to watch another cut scene to find out that Maze wants you to meet him in the Town of Bowerstone South at the local pub. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: MAZE'S INFORMATION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - BOOK #19 - BOOK #20 - BOOK #21 - BOOK #22 - BOOK #23 - BOOK #24 - AGES OF MIGHT POTION - BRIGHT WIZARD HAT - BRIAR ROSE HERO DOLL - JACK OF BLADES HERO DOLL - FIST FIGHT LEVEL 1 PASSED - SILVER KEY #2 --SIDE QUESTS TO AQUIRE: - THE SICK CHILD - BOOK COLLECTION - COLLECT THE HERO DOLLS --ADDITIONAL SIDE QUEST TO BE COMPLETED: - BEARDY BALDY Another quest that shouldn't be a quest. Exit the Guild and head towards the gold dot on the mini map, enter the town gates and you'll get your weapons taken away because this is a peaceful town and violence of any sorts is strictly prohibited, your magic is also useless in this town. Head straight to the gold dot to meet up with Maze and listen to the interesting news he has for you, quest completed. I need to take a break after that long journey, whew, I'm exhausted! After the cut scene take notice of all the green dots on your mini map, if it's night then I'd advise you to wait for daylight and the shops to open up before exploring this town. All of the green dots indicate people of interest and shops. If it is nightime you can gamble on a memory card game in the pub if you want to kill some time instead of just standing there with your thumb up your ass. If you want the BRIAR ROSE HERO DOLL then go and play this game and beat it in 27 seconds or less, just keep betting one gold piece at a time so you don't waste all of your money. This was the hardest Hero Doll for me to earn so have patience. Playing this game in the morning when your brain is at its sharpest and not yet full of THC is all I can suggest. You can also take up a bed in the Tavern for 35 gold pieces and to make approximately ten hours pass by. Explore this town and get familiar with it, buy some goods, weapons, and armor if you can and talk to everyone you see highlighted in green. There is a home in the back of the town you can aquire but you don't have nearly enough gold to purchase it just yet so remember this bargain and come back when you have enough gold. After you buy it you can rent it out to people to make your money back and gain some profits throughout the game. You will also come to find out that you need an invitation to get into Bowerstone North, which you won't be receiving any time in the near future. By the towns main gate talk to the guy on the left and MAKE SURE YOU BUY A SPADE FROM HIM!!! A lot of important items I lead you to are buried so whatever you do buy a shovel. The first thing you'll notice is a little girl following you around highlighted in green, talk to her and then follow her to her sick brother. You will have the option of taking on a side quest to heal this boy, all you have to do is find four Blue Mushrooms, take them to the local Witch and have brew up the anidote. This quest, THE SICK CHILD, takes time to complete and won't be for quite some time. Two more side quest that will become available to you that you will not be able to complete for a long time is BOOK COLLECTION and COLLECT THE HERO DOLLS. The teacher in the school needs books, so donate all of the books you have found thus far, and every time you aquire new books return here to donate them. You can even stick around while the teacher reads to the children if you'd like. After you donate nine books you will receive a BRIGHT WIZARD'S HAT, if you're following this guide then you have enough books to donate for the hat. After you donate twenty five books you'll get a Silver Key but I don't count this one until later on in the game. You don't have to donate the books to get the key, just select no when the teacher asks if you want to donate that book. After you donate the books they will not be in your inventory anymore so if you want to read them do so before you donate them. The Hero Doll quest works the same (you have to have a doll to trigger this side quest), when you find them donate them to the school by giving them to the teacher. You have to have ALL of the dolls in your inventory before you can give them to the teacher. When you give the teacher all seven dolls you'll receive the JACK OF BLADES HERO DOLL. Let's go snag some important items while we have the chance, make sure it's day time and all of the shops are open. In the Clothing Shop ghead upstairs and search the bookshelf to find BOOK #19: The Repentant Alchemist. Keep an eye on the Awareness Eye while searching houses, if it's all the way open someone will see you take the item and it's considered stealing. If someone does see you commit a crime they will call the guards and you will have to pay a fine or fight the guards so be weary while stealing. If you decide not to pay the fine of 750 smackers EACH offense then sooner or later the guards will overwhelm you and kick you out of the town and take the fine you owe them. If you didn't have all of the fine to pay then you will be left with zero gold. If you leave the town before the guards catch you and come back in, you'll still owe the fine, even if you change outfits and put on a helmet. Damnit! If you want to steal something with no physical consequences then wait until the eyeball is completely closed. Also note that stealing will earn you some bad points (even if nobody sees you) but if you're trying to be good don't worry about taking these items I lead you to that you can steal, it won't effect your alignment. There's tons of good deeds to perform ahead so don't worry about this petty larceny, unless you get caught, and if that happens it sucks to be you for the fine is steep and your gold pouch is pathetic at this point in the game. Before leaving the clothing shop head onto the balchony to find SIVER KEY #2. Enter the house in front of and to the left of the Barber Shop and go upstairs, search the cabinet next to the bed to find an AGES OF MIGHT POTION, drink it when you get your Combat Mulitplier up really high so you can gain tons of strength experience points, if you drink it now you'll only get a thousand xp. Enter the house to the immediate right of the Barber Shop and search the shelves to find BOOK #20: Eyes of a Killer. Enter the house behind the one where you found the might potion and search the shelves for BOOK #21: You Are Not a Bad Person, and BOOK #22: The Guild of Zeroes. From where you entered this town go into the first house on the right and search the shelf upstairs to find BOOK #23: Windbreaker Rule Book. Just around the corner on the left up the road from the Blacksmith are some barrels, smash them to find BOOK #24: The Sock Method, lol, American Pie anyone? Beware of smashing barrels for it is considered vandalism and if caught, yep, here comes another fine. Okay, now that we got all of the thievery and vandalism out of the way head into Bowerstone Quay. You'll meet the Witch that can brew up the anidote for the sick kid. Head down towards the water to meet a dorky guy who wants you to meet his daughter but first you must get your hair cut the way she likes it. This is another side quest, BEARDY BALDY, that can be quickly completed. This quest is downright stupid if you ask me, who's the moron game designer who thought this one up? Just think, this person was allowed to graduate college and couldn't conjure up a better idea than this. Talk to the dorky guy and he'll send you to the Barber Shop three times to get styled, when it's over the joke will be on you and you'll get a Fire Monkey Tattoo, 100 Renown Points, 100 gold pieces, and 100 experience points. Now pound the living shit out of this asshole for making you do the run around and go back to the Barber and get styled more to your, and everyone elses, liking. At midnight go into Bowerstone Quay and you'll meet the Witch that can brew up the antidote for the sick kid. Just past the barn you will see people fighting, go talk to the guy highlighted in green, this is Tyler Durde (Rund), the leader of the Fistfighter Gang and he will offer you a chance to step into the ring and open up a can of whip-ass, it costs only 50 gold but you'll win at least 250 gold. Accept the offer and go three rounds with some local tough guys who are actually pussies. When you win you'll have a go at Tyler, simply beat his ass and you'll be rewarded a FIST FIGHT LEVEL 1 PASSED letter. If you can beat Rund without taking any damage you'll win 350 gold, if he hits you you'll only win 250 gold. You can fight in more arenas all around Albion if you'd like and this is *NOT* considered a side quest as other guides available for this game will have you believe. Head back through the towns main gate and run straight ahead to enter Greatwood. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: FISHING COMPETITION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR - FISHING ROD - THE ROD OF CHAMPIONS - FISHERMAN'S HAT - FISHERMAN'S GOLDEN FISH TROPHY - BOOK #25 - SILVER KEY #3 - SILVER KEY #4 - SILVER KEY #5 Take notice of all the red dots on the map, these are enemies so get ready for some patheticaly easy action. Head up the road a little ways and kill some wasps, you'll see people walking down the roads throughout the game and some of them may be vendors selling items so you always want to check and see if these traveling bands of idiots got the good stuff. Head towards the southern part of the map, to the far right is a dead end, go there to find some health potions and open up the treasure chest to find a WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR and drink it, this will permenently raise your Mana Bar a little. On the opposite side of the map from where you are are two roads, take the top one to enter Fisher Creek to try and complete this easy side quest. Kill the wasps around the area and a guy will come out of his cabin and thank you, he will give you a FISHING ROD and a free entry to the tournament he's holding. First you must learn how to fish. Go onto the far left side of the cabin to find a trasure chest with Leather Gauntlets in them. You'll see bubbles in the water next to the chest, go and put your line in the water over the bubbles and wait a few seconds to snag a fish, start reeling it in by left clicking the mouse really fast. Stop clicking the mouse when the fish runs with the line or it will snap, this may take you some practice. After you snag the fish you'll notice three more sets of bubbles in the water, fish out what causing them for SILVER KEY #3, 100 gold pieces, and a Moustache Card. Go back towards the cabin and walk out onto the little dock, you'll see more bubbles on the left so drop a line in to catch a GOLDEN FISH TROPHY. Leave this area back into Greatwood and then come right back in here. You'll now see two guys sitting on a bench to the right, go and talk to the tournament host to enter the competition. This is an easy contest and I'm sure you'll have no problems winning these next three items. Simply keep on cathing fish until you win, you'll probably win all three items with the first fish you have weighed, that's how easy this joke of a tournament is. I have no idea what the weight of the fishes have to be to win these prizes because I won them all with the first fish I caught. Your rewards for winning the tournament are a FISHERMAN'S HAT, THE ROD OF CHAMPIONS, and SILVER KEY #4, along with some gold pieces and Renown Points. Go into the house and take BOOK #25: A Hero's Journey I off of the bookshelf. Go back into Greatwood and may I suggest that since you're not involved in a quest right now and can World Save that you take an hour or two to just run around and level your character up. Below you is the road that leads to Greatwood Lake, just keep running into there and Greatwood and kill the enemies over and over. Believe me when I tell you that this will be time well spent so your character can become a bit more powerful 'cause right now you're fragile and weak, you'll also collect lots of gold so you can buy better weapons and armor. Don't forget that you can use your Guild Seal to warp back to the Heroes' Guild at any time so you can level up and then transport right back to where you were. When in Greatwood Lake, as soon as you enter run up the hill on the right for SILVER KEY #5. There is also a Silver Key Treasure Chest when you cross the bridge on the left that requires five keys to open, do so to snag another ELIXIR OF LIFE. After you feel you have gained enough experience head back to the Heroes' Guild and take the next main quest, the Orchard Farm. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: ORCHARD FARM ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - BLUE MUSHROOM #1 - BLUE MUSHROOM #2 - TREASURE CLUE #5 - SILVER KEY #6 - SILVER KEY #7 - ELIXIR OF LIFE - AGES OF SKILL POTION - WHISPERS BROOCH TROPHY Depending on your morality choose to attack or defend the Orchard Farm. Exit the Guild and head towards the crossroads that led you to the Picnic Area and Bowerstone to see two stoners, talk to them and they will tell you they dropped some shrooms in the water near the Demon Door in the Heroes' Guild. Turn around and go back to the Guild Demon Door, you'll see bubbles in the water on the left so drop your fishing line in the bubbles to catch BLUE MUSHROOM #1. Now head into the Guild Woods and fish in the pond on the right where the bubbles are for SILVER KEY #6. Just before the Picnic Area on the left is some more bubbley water, drop your line in there to snag an AGES OF SKILL POTION. Go into the Picnic Area and you'll see a woman standing on the left, go talk to her and find out that she's tripping her tits off, I think those hippies spiked her apple pie. If you can make her laugh she'll reward you. You should have the expression "Kiss my Ass," use it on her and she will begin to laugh, do it again to receive BLUE MUSHROOM #2. There are probably other expressions you can use to make her laugh, this was the only one I tried and it worked so I couldn't try any other ones. Head back into Greatwood and head towards the gold dot, if you are defending the farm enter it through Greatwood Lake, if you are attacking the farm enter it through Greatwood. If you are defending the farm all you have to do is stop the Bandits from stealing the crates. If attacking the farm all you have to do protect a Bandit while he steals the crates. Whether attacking or defending this will be another extremely simple quest to complete. When you are finished doing what you came here to do Whisper will show up, she'll teach you about flourishing and you'll have a go at her so you can practice your flourishing techniques. You've had this all along in case you haven't noticed yet, this should've been taught during melee training and not at this point in the game if you ask me. Piss poor game designing. After you beat Whisper this quest will be complete and you'll receive 1,000 gold pieces, 400 Renown Points, some experience points, and WHISPERS BROOCH TROPHY. Run along the side of the house to a grave, dig it up with your shovel for an Upper Dress, uh, okay. Head behind the barn to find a tresure chest, open it to receive a gem, a Jet. Head towards the large open area on the map, before going into the orchard look to the left of the gate, open the chest for TREASURE CLUE #5. Yes, there is a quite extravagent buried booty somewhere in Albion, there are six treasure clues to find in all. Enter the orchard and go to the water and you'll spot some more bubbles on the far right below a small dock, drop a line in to catch a Coron Visor Tattoo. On the far left there is another dock, go to the end of it and set your line into some more bubbley water to catch SILVER KEY #7. Near the exit into Greatwood Lake is a small puddle on the right that is bubbling, drop your line in there to catch another ELIXIR OF LIFE. Now teleport to the Heroes' Guild and take the Hobbes Killing Contest side quest. There is also the Hobbe Cave side quest but your Renown Status might not be high enough yet. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: HOBBES KILLING CONTEST ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - HOBBE TOOTH TROPHY - BOOK #26 Leave the Guild and you'll see a green dot at the crossroads on your mini map, go to it and talk to a guy that needs an escort to the Orchard Farm, take him there for the reward of 600 gold is handsome. Use your follow expression and head into Greatwood. Use your wait expression and have this guy stay in a safe area while you kill enemies, if you venture too far away from him while he's waiting he will leave Greatwood. If you have the Heal Life spell you can use it on this guy if he gets injured. Go and have him follow you into Greatwood Lake and again have him wait in a safe area and kill all of the enemies by the lake. Now take him into the farm to complete this easy escort and collect the rest of your gold due, you'll also receive 100 Renown Points. If you manage to get him to the farm unscathed you'll also receive a gem. If this guy happened to die he will appear at the crossroads again sooner or later so don't worry if he croaks. How can this be, is he the chosen one? Piss poor game designing. I don't mean to mock the game but you'll notice a lot of small things like this throughout your adventure that just don't add up. Perfect, the Orchard Farm is where the Hobbes Killing Contest takes place so head towards the blinking gold dot to let the game begin. You have to kill more Hobbes than Whisper and the Hobbes will be the toughest enemies you've fought thus far. Run towards the red dots on the map and begin slaughtering as many Hobbes as you can, you have 3:30 to beat Whispers kill count. To be a real dick wait until Whisper beats the Hobbes down and then move in to steal her kills, she'll get pissed but doesn't do anything about it. Take note that her spells can harm you if you get in their way and she doesn't intentionally cast them at you. After you win (if you lost then you can try again) you'll get a HOBBE TOOTH TROPHY, 900 gold pieces, and 200 Renown Points as well as some experience points. If your combat skills were sufficiant enough you'll also receive a bunch of extra renown, gold, and experience points. Enter the farmhouse and search the bookshelf for BOOK #26: The Rotten Apple, there's another book in here too, Making Friends, but you already have it if you're following this guide. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and take the Hobbe Cave sidequest. If you don't have enough Renown for this quest then take the main quest Trader Escort and that will earn you enough Renown for the cave quest, you have to reach the Familiar Status. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: HOBBE CAVE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - 2 FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWELS - WELLO'S PICKHAMMER - SILVER KEY #8 - SILVER KEY #9 - WILL USER'S BRIGHT GLOVES - WILL USER'S BRIGHT BOOTS - WILL USER'S BRIGHT UPPER ROBE - WILL USER'S BRIGHT LOWER ROBE - HEXAGON KEY - WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR - HOBBE HEAD TROPHY - BOOK #27 - CUTLASS BLUETANE --ADDITIONAL SIDE QUEST TO BE COMPLETED: - BANDIT TOLL Head into Greatwood Lake and follow the silver marker into Greatwood Gorge. Head up the road and you'll run into a Bandit that is demanding 400 gold if you are to pass. Passing this toll is considered a side quest and don't ask me why. This area is loaded with Bandits and if you killed the toll booth attendant then you will be attacked from every which way. Head up the road and go left, cross the bridge into a camp and search the treasure chest on the right for a FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL, to the left of this chest is another one, open it for 500 gold. Continue along to a dead end and open yet another chest for a Steel Pickhammer. If you want to augment a weapon simply go into your inventory, select a weapon and if it can be augmented you'll see an augment tab, I think you can take it from there. Remember that once a weapon is augmented it CANNOT be undone so I don't want ANY e-mail's asking me how to un-augment weapons! Turn around and head towards the purple dot, to open this Demon Door you must perform a great act of evil for it to open. Go and find somebody to follow you to this door and kill the bastard in front of it to make it open, make sure you talk to the door before you kill the person and that the door is highlighted while you kill 'em. Good people need not worry, killing one innocent person won't affect your alignment, and besides, it's a video game and if your concious is that bad then maybe you shouldn't be playing an M rated game, why don't you go find out if your local Community Center offers night classes in de- yuppifying, they probably have a twelve step program for that. If you are having trouble finding somebody to follow you, you can always hire that guy in the Tavern in Bowerstone South. Another way to get into this door is if you're evil enough to have horns growing out of your forehead then the door will open for you. Through the Demon Door you will find WELLO'S PICKHAMMER inside of a treasure chest, a decent weapon to use for a while. Leave this area and go right into Greatwood Cullis Gate. To your left is a Cullis Gate, head to the silver dot on the map to enter Rose Cottage and this quest will officially begin. Straight ahead is another Demon Door, to open this one you must present it with a gift. I used some chocolate and it worked, as usual, on my first try so I didn't get to fiddle around to see what other gifts will open up this door. Once you get through the door you'll find the WILL USER'S BRIGHT SUIT in a treasure chest on the left which consists of gloves, boots, upper and lower robes, quite the nice stash we've stumbled upon. Leave this secret haven and approach the cottage and to the left of it you'll see some vines, chop them down to reveal a treasure chest and open it for 500 gold, doing this is considered a bad deed (why?) so if you're good then don't chop the vines down. Open the cottage door to watch a cut scene, you'll receive a HEXAGON KEY so you can rescue this poor old ladies grandson who is being held captive in the Hobbe Cave. To the far left is a circle of flowers, dig in the middle of them with your shovel for SILVER KEY #8. Leave this area and head towards the silver dot, just before it look to your right to spot some more bubbley water, drop a line in to catch a Moonfish. Head into Greatwood Caves and you'll see another Demon Door on the left, to open this one you have to get your Combat Multiplier up to 13 or higher but you will not be able to open up this door yet. To the right are some vines, chop them down and head straight into the Hobbe Cave. Straight ahead is a door, go through it and you'll see a guy trapped in a cage, kill all of the Hobbes and then you can hire this man to fight by your side if you please. I hope your character still isn't a weakling and you have a decent melee weapon because these Hobbes are brutal opponents, especially when they surround you. The Force Push and Infernal Wrath spells are very helpful in this balls to the wall, hack and slash, holy shit I'm almost dead, why did you lead me in here you asshole kind of cave. Leave this room and go right to get surrounded by another gang of Hobbes, cut them all down and go into the door on the left. In here kill some more Hobbes (use the exploding barrel in the left corner to your advantage) and you'll see another Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires five keys to open, open it up for a WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR. Exit this room and head towards the silver dot and go through another door to enter the main chamber. When the slaughter fest is over you'll see two treasure chests, open them up for 500 gold in each and another FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Open the door that requires the Hexagon Key to do so and head through the moonlit tunnel and go through the door at the end to be in the Focus Chamber. Head down the stairs into an underground lake and you'll see the little boy that is being held captive. When the cut scene ends a Nymph will tell you she'll let the boy go if you bring her another person to replace him. If that guy is with you, well, it sucks to be him. I say screw this Nympho and kill her but as you know this game is all about choices so make yours, the good choice is to kill her, the evil choice is to trade just so you're not confused as to which moral decision to make for your characters alignment. If you do decide to kill her she will summon enemies so don't dilly-dally and kill this chic quickly, fireballs work wonders on her, so do multi-arrows. When she's dead, or you traded that douchebag for the boy, the child will be free. If you did trade the guy for the boy you can still kill the Nympho and then you'll have to escort two people out of this hell hole of a cave. Look around for a circle of red mushrooms and dig in the middle of them with your spade for SILVER KEY #9. Now you must protect the boy while you bring him all the way back to his grandmother in Rose Cottage, I hope you have the Heal Life Spell. The Hobbes will be primarily focused on you but a few strays will attack the child so have him wait in a safe area while you dispose of all the fat little freaks lurking around. If the boy dies then you'll have to try this quest over again and again until you succeed. If you rescued that guy and you take him out of the cave he will demand his share of the gold. Can you believe this asshole? You save his life and then he has the balls to demand money. Kill the greedy bastard, don't pay him, KILL 'EM! When you return the child to his grandmother you will be rewarded a HOBBE HEAD TROPHY, 400 Renown Points, and 5,500 gold pieces, again the ammount of experience, extra gold, and extra renown are based upon your combat skills and moral choice. Go into the cottage to find BOOK #27: A Hero's Journey II on the bookshelf. Go back to the Demon Door that is in front of the Hobbe Cave. To open up this door requires you to get your Combat Multiplier up to at least 15, NOT THIRTEEN (as other guides available for this game will have you believe), 15. Sometimes there will be an Earth Troll for you to kill or sometimes there will be Hobbes running around. This will be a little challenging, at least it was for me. How I got in here was I put up my Physical Shield spell, ate a bunch of carrots during the battle, and used my fists to punch the shit out of the troll. If you try it this way make sure you have plenty of will potions on hand. Every time I used my melee weapon (even the stick) the troll would die long before the Combat Multiplier reached fifteen. As soon as your Combat Multiplier reaches 15, I recommend 16 just so you have enough time to get over there, run and talk to the Demon Door and it will then open up for you. Inside you will find the CUTLASS BLUETANE, the most powerful Cleaver in the game. Head back to the Heroes' Guild and take the next main quest, Trader Escort. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: TRADER ESCORT ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - 3 RESURRECTION PHIALS - WILL USER'S DARK BOOTS - WILL USER'S DARK GLOVES - WILL USER'S DARK UPPER ROBE - WILL USER'S DARK LOWER ROBE - SILVER KEY #10 - SILVER KEY #11 - FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL - LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - TRADER FEATHER TROPHY - ARKEN'S CROSSBOW --SIDE QUEST TO AQUIRE: - CHAPEL OF SKORM Teleport to the Greatwood Cullis Gate and head into Greatwood Caves. If you would like to gain MASSIVE ammounts of experience then head into the Hobbe Cave and spend half an hour so wandering around in there killing them all. Head into Darkwood just past the Demon Door to watch a cut scene. You now have to escort two traders all the way to the Barrow Fields and it will be a long and dangerous journey. Walk down the road a little ways and you'll meet up with another trader, you can choose to let him tag along or you can say "screw you" and let him wander through this god forsaken forest all by his lonesome. Open the treasure chest on the right for a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Head to the gold dot and enter the Darkwood Marshes. Watch the cut scene, when it's over you'll see yet another Demon Door on the left and you will be attacked by the creature in the scene, a Balverine, they can be a real pain in the ass when they disappear so get used to them doing it. To open this Demon Door will require you to kill about twenty Hobbes so have the traders wait by the exit into Darkwood so they don't get killed. Go into the Demon Door to find a WILL USER'S DARK SUIT which consists of boots, gloves, upper and lower robes. Have the traders follow you towards the gold dot and you'll come to a large open area with giant mushrooms, stand back and shoot all the shrooms, if you get too close to them they will explode and the spores will severely injure you and the traders. Just before the open area to the left is a tresure chest, open it up to find another Jet. Head to the gold dot to enter Darkwood Lake. Head left to spot yet another treasure chest, open it up to snag some Leather Boots. Head down the road towards the watery area, when you enter the water to your immediate right is another chest, open it for 250 gold pieces. On the left where the white dot is on the map is a Bordello but it's closed for renovations, damnit! Go right of this Palace of Love to see another Silver Key Treasure Chest, this one requires fifteen keys to open, since you only have nine keys right now you obviously have to remember to come back here later. In this chest is ARKEN'S CROSSBOW, the most powerful ranged weapon in the game so you might want to come back here. Almost directly across from the whore house you'll spot a large boulder embedded in the ground with a hole in the top, shoot an arrow through the hole for SILVER KEY #10. Damn, why couldn't that chest be for only ten keys? Head to the gold dot to enter the Darkwood Camp. The traders will head into the camp, you should follow them for there are a few vendor's in there selling some good stuff. You'll also find a Steel Axe in a treasure chest, a RESURRECTION PHIAL in another chest, and a Dark Vortex Tattoo in a barrel. You can also buy a FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL from the weapons vendor for an insane ammount of gold. Too bad that if you kill him the jewel can't be taken so don't try it. Before heading towards the gold dot go to the white one on the map to enter the Darkwood Chapel of Skorm. Walk up the road to the chapel, before you go in head to the left of it to find an Assassin Shirt in a tresure chest. Head into the chapel and talk to the guys in there, you will be asked to give up a trader for a human sacrifice. You can if you want, your choice. This side quest is for evil characters so don't do this one if you're a good guy. This quest will require you to bring people here and then offer them up for a human sacrifice at midnight. When you've donated a couple of unfortunate souls you will receive the Crossbow of Skorm, the most powerful bow in the game. I thank Erik Pirmann (he was the first to let me know, about 15 people e-mailed me) for letting me know what item you'll get. Sacrifice some more people and you'll receive the Hero Title of Necromancer. If you are having trouble finding people to follow you here you can wait until you do the main quest Find the Bandit Seeress and have all of the Bandits in Twinblade's Camp follow you here, it is a long walk though. Head back into the Darkwood Camp and go to the gold dot to enter Ancient Cullis Gate. This might be a good time to tell you that if you let that one trader tag along with you he will turn into a Balverine sooner or later so slay his ass down when he does. Head towards the red dots and take them all out, you'll notice a Cullis Gate, this will not get activated for quite some time so don't wonder why you can't transport here after you complete this quest. Continue along slaying more enemies and you'll come to yet another treasure chest, open it for a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Go onto the bridge to the right of the chest and you'll see bubbles in the water to the right, drop your fishing line in there to snag SILVER KEY #11. Head to the gold dot to enter Darkwood Weir. Walk into the creek and go left to a treasure chest, open it for a LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION JEWEL, whoo-hoo! Continue on towards the gold dot and another Earth Troll will rise out of the ground. Kill it (the Infernal Wrath spell two or higher works wonders on these things) and go through the gate it was guarding to finally be in the Barrow Fields. The traders, or trader, will tell you to follow 'em, do so and this quest will be complete. You'll be rewarded with a TRADER'S FEATHER TROPHY, 500 Renown Points, and 2,000 gold pieces, you should know how the extra points and gold system works by now. You will immediately head into the next main quest that shouldn't be a quest at all, Maze's New Information. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: MAZE'S NEW INFORMATION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - BLUE MUSHROOM #3 - BLUE MUSHROOM #4 - WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR - BOOK #28 - BOOK #29 - BOOK #30 - BOOK #31 - RESURRECTION PHIAL - CHICKEN HAT - CHICKEN KICKING TROPHY - SILVER KEY #12 - SILVER KEY #13 - FIST FIGHT LEVEL 2 PASSED - WITCH'S POTION --SIDE QUESTS TO BE COMPLETED: - TREASURE OF THE GHOST PIRATE - CHICKEN KICKING COMPETITION - THE SICK CHILD Head to the green dot on your mini map and talk to a guy and he will sell you BLUE MUSHROOM #3 for 1,500 gold pieces, whoa, a bit steep don't you think? That prick. To the left of this guy you'll see some bubbles in the water, fish out what's causing them for 500 gold. You'll also notice a Cullis Gate on the map and a Demon Door, head towards the door and on the bridge you'll spot some more bubbley water on the right, drop a line in there to catch a Coron Night Tattoo. Head towards the purple dot and you'll see another treasure chest, open it for a Sapphire. To the right of the Demon Door is some more bubbles in the water, drop your line in there to catch another Moonfish. To open this Demon Door you have to be big and plump so stand in front of it and eat and eat and eat some more. Doing this will not alter your appearence or slow you down any so don't worry, eat 30 apple pies to achieve fat ass status and then the door will open. In here you will find another phial of WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR. Head to the gold dot to enter your rebuilt hometown of Oakvale. Watch the cut scene and go straight ahead to meet up with Maze and this short quest is over. After the cut scene you'll be on the beach staring at a dock. Go onto the dock to spot some more bubbley water on the right, go fishing again to snag a Fake Wedding Ring. Before we head back to the Heroes' Guild to take up a new quest let's explore Oakvale some more, make sure it's daytime. You've probably noticed that not only was this town rebuilt it was greatly expanded as well. Run along the beach to a green dot, talk to a woman to find out that she misses her hubby, remember her. Just past the woman is the entrance to Clifftop Path but don't go in there, go around the corner to spot another treasure chest and open it for a pair of Assassin Boots. Leave the beach area and go up the hill, hang a left to be at that house where that guy was cheating on his wife at the beginning of the game. Run along the side of it to find another treasure chest with 250 gold inside of it. Go into this house and search upstairs for BOOK #28: A Hero's Journey III, you'll also pick up another book you already have if you are following this guide. Leave this house and head into the one nextdoor on the left, search upstairs for BOOK #29: The Trials of Aarkan. Leave this house and go left to see your old house, it's for sale and costs 5,000 gold pieces. Again, if you purchase this house you may rent it out to people to make your money back and gain some as well. Head to the right of the map where four green dots are, go into the first house on the right and search the bookshelf for BOOK #30: The Oakvale Raid. Leave this house and search all of the other homes in this little area for BOOK #31: The Ugly Guide. You'll spot a treasure chest behind a gate, open it for a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Talk to the woman by the well to find out where the last Blue Mushroom is, some guy named Cyril has it in the Guild Woods. Head to the dead end in the bottom far right corner of the map and you'll run into a guy who holds a Chicken Kicking game down on the beach but first you must get rid of a ghost for him. Go down to the green dot on the beach and talk to a ghost and he needs help, your choice. He says he has buried some treasure on the beach and if you find it if you can give it to his wife, the woman I told you to remember. This side quest is called TREASURE OF THE GHOST PIRATE and we'll complete it real quick. Go into the hut on the right and open up the treasure chest for an Oak Crossbow. Head back to the other beach and face the dock, dig on the left of it by the pillars under the gazeebo to find 500 gold, bring it to his widow and she will be grateful. Now return to the ghost and he'll tell you that he has buried some treasure in the Memorial Garden. Go in there, it's right above the beach, and you'll see a large statue of a warrior swinging an axe. Dig under the axe to find the Pirate's buried booty, SILVER KEY #12 and an Obsidian Greataxe to complete this side quest for 100 Renown Points and 150 gold. Head back and talk to the guy that holds the chicken kicking game and go onto the beach to complete another easy side quest, the CHICKEN KICKING COMPETITION. Before talking to the host of this fine competition take off all of your clothes so you aren't encumbered by the big bulky armor you're probably wearing. Now enter the competition. If you're at least level four in all of your strength upgrades then this will be a walk in the park, if you're maxed out in that catagory then kick the chicken's lightly or you'll boot 'em right off the end of dock and into the water. Follow the on-screen instructions and strat kicking the chicken. Wait until the chicken is to the far left or right and is at the white line, then RUN up to it and boot it diagonally, hopefully it'll land on the 100 point marker. This game will take you some practice but at 50 gold pieces per game you had better get the hang of it quickly. When you have won the competition you will be rewarded a CHICKEN HAT and SILVER KEY #13. If you get a perfect 500 score then you'll win the CHICKEN KICKING TROPHY. At midnight we'll get to have another go in the Fistfighter Gang Arena, it's in the little cul de sac on the bottom middle portion of the map. Enter the next fight for fifty bucks and if you win you'll get a FIST FIGHTER LEVEL 2 PASS letter along with at least two hundred gold profit. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and and head into the Guild Woods, talk to Cyril and he will give you a note. If you are to aquire the last Blue Mushroom you must take the note to Myra, the woman who told you about Cyril. Give her the letter and then she'll give you one in return for Cyril, you can also lie to her and tell her the letter is from you. Take the note back to Cyril and he will give you the last BLUE MUSHROOM wheter you give him Myra's letter or not. Warp to Bowerstone South and head into the Quay, talk to the witch and you can either give her the shrooms so she can brew up the WITCH'S POTION for the sick kid, or you can keep them for yourself. Take the antidote to the sick kids mom and give it to her to be good or keep it to be an evil prick. Wait until you see who you cured, would you have if you had known it was this asshole? Go back to the Guild and take the next main quest, Find the Bandit Seeress. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: FIND THE BANDIT SEERESS ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - SILVER KEY #14 - BANDIT BOOTS - BANDIT SHIRT - BANDIT TROUSERS - BANDIT BANDANA - BANDIT GLOVES - AGES OF SKILL POTION - AGES OF WILL POTION - AGES OF MIGHT POTION - HERO DOLL: TWINBLADE - DOLLMASTER MACE - 3 RESURRECTION PHIALS - FIST FIGHT LEVEL 3 PASSED - BANDIT SEAL TROPHY This will be another fun filled dangerous journey so let's go. Teleport to Oakvale and head down the beach to enter Clifftop Path. This part can get frustrating because you're going to have to use stealth tactics and if you're not very good at them you will have issues passing through the gate ahead. First of all if you are seen the gates will close and you'll be attacked by three bozos. I'd advise you to sneak along and use head shots with your bow or run towards the gate and you'll see a large boulder to the left, hide behind it and more guards will appear. Wait until two guards walk by and a third will be on the other side of the boulder, when the two other guards get far enough away pull out your bow and shoot the guard on the other side of the boulder in the head to decapitate him, now run through the gate to enter the Abandoned Road. Watch the cut scene and you'll find out that you need a Bandit Outfit if you want to get into their camp. This road is infested with Bandit's so be careful, head forwards and you'll run into a treasure chest on the right, open it for the first article of clothing, BANDIT BOOTS. Go up the stairs just past the chest and you'll see more steps in front of you, open up the treasure chest on the right for a BANDIT SHIRT. Head up the stairs and go right, open the treasure chest in the tent for BANDIT TROUSERS, smash the barrels across from this chest to snag an AGES OF SKILL POTION. Head up another flight of stairs and head straigh, the next treasure chest is on the right next to a tent with the BANDIT BANDANA, the last chest is just past this one on the left with BANDIT GLOVES, you now have the complete outfit. Head to the purple dot to another Demon Door, to open it you must have three outfits, a Bandit Suit, a Dark Will User's Outfit, and a Bright Plate Suit. You will not be able to open this up for quite some time but when you do you'll receive the almighty DOLLMASTER'S MACE. Remember to come back here when you get the shiny plate suit, you should already have the other two outfits if you're following this guide. To the right of the door is another treasure chest with a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Head to the gold dot and enter Twinblade's Camp. Put on your newly aquired Bandit Suit and talk to the guard ahead of you by the Cullis Gate, he will let you enter the camp. Now that you're in this camp you can take that ridiculously low armor rating suit off. Head down the road to enter a camp area, the Bandit's are friendlys right now so don't attack them, unless you're evil and if that's the case let the slaughter fest begin. To the right are some vendor's selling decent items so go and buy an Obsidian melee weapon if you don't have one yet, they're not that expensive. If you've made the evil decision the gates will get opened so you won't need a pass. Go to the little cul de sac in the bottom right of the map to find an AGES OF WILL potion in a barrel, open up the treasure chest on the left for 500 gold, dig in front of the chest with your shovel for SILVER KEY #14. To get into Twinblade's Tent we have to have a pass, you can buy one for 1,000 gold from a guy to the left of the stairs leading into the tent, OR you can play a memory game just past this bozo to aquire a pass, the game isn't hard at all so play it to save yourself a grand. If you beat the memory game (after you get the pass of course) in less than twenty seconds you'll win the TWINBLADE HERO DOLL. When you have aquired a pass head to the gold dot and show it to the guard and he will let you enter Twinblade's Elite Camp. If you are doing the Fist Fighter Gang thing then at midnight meet them at the arena in here for the next fight, when you win you'll receive a FIST FIGHT LEVEL 3 PASSED letter. Head straight to enter another tent area, smash the barrels on the left for an AGES OF MIGHT POTION. If evil then start killing people to open up the gate into Twinblade's Tent area. You'll notice a bunch of green dots to the bottom left and bottom right of the map, go to the one right to spot a few Assassin's, talk to Roderick and you can hire his assistance for 2,000 gold. If you do then he'll do what you hired him to do so you can sneak into Twinblade's Tent. If you don't want to hire this guy then don't, you can always assassinate the Assassin's. Head to the green dots on the left and on the way you'll run into another tent area, grab the Steel Greatmace leaning against a tent and open the treasure chest for some Assassin Trousers. Go to the dots and you'll see some prisoners in cages, kill the guard to get the key and free them, now head to the blinking dot for a tough battle, put on your best gear and equip your best weapon. Watch the very surprising cut scene and then you will have to battle with Twinblade who is about three times your size and armed with two GIGANTIC swords. I hope by this point of the game that you have the Physical Shield Spell. Twinblade really isn't that hard, watch out for when he swings his swords in the air, after he does he'll lunge towards you and slam his swords down and if you're not in their way they'll get stuck into the ground. When this happens attack Twinblade from behind, you'll notice that circling the arena are a bunch of Bandit's, if you get too close to them they will whack you so stay in the center of the arena. The Infernal Wrath level three spell will fry this bastard up really quick. After you beat Twinblade down a cut scene will trigger, spare his life or take it, if good then spare his life, if evil then take it. If you do decide to ice Twinblade then all of the Bandit's surrounding you will join in to help their leader. If you decide to let the big bastard live then just walk out of this area. Go into the tent and open up three treasure chests for 250 gold, another RESURRECTION PHIAL, and 500 gold. Head to the dead end on the map for another treasure chest with a Diamond in it. Go back into the previous area to complete this quest and receive at least 4,500 gold, 1,000 Renown Points, and the BANDIT SEAL TROPHY. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and talk to Maze in his tower and you will be given a new main quest, Find the Archeologist. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: FIND THE ARCHEOLOGIST ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - 2 RESURRECTION PHIALS - AGES OF WILL POTION - SILVER KEY #15 - HEALTH AUGMENTATION JEWEL Transport to the Witchwood Cullis Gate and get ready for a really short and easy quest. Chop down the vines on the right and open up the treasure chest for a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Chop down the vines on the left and you'll see some bubbley water on the left, drop your fishing line in there to catch a Moonfish. Head towards the gold dot and a Rock Troll will make an appearence. Time its boulders and hit them with your melee weapon to send them back or use my stratagy in the enemies section way above. When it croaks continue along to spot a skeleton on the right, grab the AGES OF WILL POTION next to it and then enter the next area, Witchwood Stones. The first thing you'll notice is that on the right is a big gold dot with a Demon Door, the Archeologist is behind it. To open this door we must go to some magical stones and spell H-I-T-S. Put your fishing line into the bubbley water on the left to snag SILVER KEY #15. Continue down the path towards the four green dots and you'll spot some vines on the right, chop them down and open up the treasure chest for an Obsidian Greathammer. Go to the green dots, these are the magic stones, press "Tab" to see the letter of the stone, and keep hitting them with your melee weapon until you spell HITS, then go to the Demon Door. Head inside to meet the Archeologist to complete this quest. Grab the Chainmail Leggings out of the treasure chest, grab the RESSURRECTION PHIAL out of the chest in the wagon, grab books off of the shelf (you already have them all if you're following this guide), and open up the Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires fifteen keys to find a HEALTH AUGMENTATION JEWEL, this is one of the best augmentations in the game and is *EXTREMELY* rare so choose very wisely as to what weapon you put this on. Warp back to the Guild and take the next side quest, Trader Rescue or Trader Massacre. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: TRADER RESCUE/MASSACRE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - Zilch, zero, nadda If you are down for the slaughter and want to massacre a bunch of innocents, teleport to Barrow Fields and waste everyone to achieve this short quest and be rewarded at least 5,000 gold as well as 400 Renown Points. If you want to be a good ole boy and rescue some traders this quest will be a little longer and more difficult to achieve. Or you can choose to do them both. For the rescue quest transport to Twinblades Camp and watch the cut scene. When it's over head towards the upper green dot to meet a trader, talk to him and he will follow you into Twinblades Elite Camp. Go to the green dots and rescue the last two trader's and head back to the previous area, protect the traders and exit Twinblades Camp to the Abandonded Road to complete this side quest. You will be rewarded at least 5,000 gold and 400 Renown Points. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: MURDER WITH A TWIST ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - ASSASSIN CONTARCT Teleport to Oakvale and go onto the side of the house where that guy was commiting adultery in the beginning of the game, talk to the Guard and he'll ask you to go back into Twinblades Camp to kill an Assassin, you can accept or decline, this side quest is MURDER WITH A TWIST. Head into Twinblades Camp and go into the Elite campsite, then go into Twinblades Tent. Head to the green dot and talk to the Assassin, he'll give you some bogus story about how the Guard's are out to get him, whaa, whaa, whaa. Unsheathe your sword and he'll then offer to double the reward that guard put on his head if you'll spare his life and kill the Guard. Do so if you're of evil morals, kill the bastard and his two weakling sidekicks if you're a character of good morals. If you kill the Assassin then you'll receive the ASSASSIN'S CONTRACT, return to the Guard and take the reward. If you've sided with the Assassin then go and whack the Guard, you've already been paid in full. Or take the Assassin's money and then kill him, then go and take the reward money from the Guard and be up two grand. So many choices. Now teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and take the main quest White Balverine. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: WHITE BALVERINE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - 2 RESURRECTION PHIALS - SILVER KEY #16 - SILVER KEY #17 - WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR - FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL - SILVER AUGMENTATION JEWEL - THE HARBRINGER - ELIXIR OF LIFE - WHITE BALVERINE HEAD TROPHY - FIST FIGHTER TROPHY - BOOK #32 - BOOK #33 --SIDE QUESTS TO AQUIRE: - THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT - THE SWORD IN THE STONE This journey will prove to be quite dangerous so I hope your character is powerful, he should be by now. Teleport back to the Witchwood Cullis Gate and head into Witchwood Stones. Head straight towards the green dots to spot some guards, talk to them and a guy will run up to you asking for help, his wife is trapped by some Balverine's. While in the magic stone area you will be attacked, this asshole tricked you! Kill the enemies and then talk to the guy that tricked you, take or spare his life after he gives you a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Open up the treasure chest behind this deceiving dickhead for some Chainmail Gauntlets. Now head to the gold dot to enter The Temple of Avo. Head up to the temple on the right, before going in open up the treasure chest on the right for another RESURRECTION PHIAL. Go into the temple and talk to the worshipers. This is another side quest, THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT, to complete it you'll have to donate a shit load of gold. Donate 50,000 gold to receive THE SENTINUS, a Greatmace. YOU MUST DONATE A MINIMUM OF 50,000 GOLD AT ONE TIME TO GET THIS MACE, if you donate 1,000 gold here and 3,000 gold there you will not receive this weapon. Donate 100,000 gold (doesn't have to be all at once) to receive the Hero Title of Paladin. This side quest is for the good characters in case you couldn't figure that out on your own. Go up the hill to all of the green dots to aquire THE SWORD IN THE STONE side quest. I never ran across this in a video game before, how origional. I can't believe the game designers had the audacity to go so cliche on this side quest but yep, they did. Go up to the green dots and you'll see a bunch of village idiots trying to pull a sword out of a boulder. To pull it out simply max out your strength upgrades to receive the Master Sword, oh, sorry, I meant THE HARBRINGER, I got confused. This sword absolutely sucks so you don't want to even bother with this side quest. Head towards the gold dot to enter Witchwood Lake. When you come up to a red Gargoyle type statue dig to the left of it in-between the wall and the statue for SILVER KEY #16. Head to the gold dot and on the way you'll see a path, that leads to The Arena, remember it 'cause we'll be going there shortly. Continue along to some more bubbles in the water, fish out a WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR and open up the treasure chest across from you for a FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Head to the gold dot to enter Knothole Glade. Head forwards and you'll come to a town but the gates are closed, kill all of the Balverine's and try to protect the people. When you've killed four of the werewolves a cut scene will trigger. When it's over you'll be attacked by the White Balverine, hit it ten times and it'll run away. Follow it and then watch another cut scene and then you have to see the Hunter's Wife. Go all the way to the back of the town and head into the hut in the middle, climb the stairs and open up the treasure chest for some Chainmail Boots. Leave this hut to be attacked by the White Balverine again, hit it another ten times and it'll go away to trigger another cut scene and you'll be given a SILVER AUGMENTATION JEWEL. You will be attacked yet again by the Balverine, this time you only have to hit it five times. Now the White Balverine has retreated to Witchwood Lake. Before you go there look in the small cul de sac on the right for a treasure chest with a Ruby in it. In the light brown house on the map is 1,000 gold in another treasure chest. In the back of the town dig in a circle of weeds in-between two huts for SILVER KEY #17. Head to the Demon Door, to open up this one simply shoot it in the face with a fully charged arrow, I hope you have a good bow and are at least a level three in the Accuracy Skill. In here you will find an ELIXIR OF LIFE. Now augment a MELEE weapon with the Silver Jewel, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DO SO TO KILL THE WHITE BALVERINE, it just makes it a hell of a lot easier. Go into Witchwood Lake and head to the big gold dot for a final showdown with the White Balverine. While fighting it, it'll call some regular Balverine's for back-up so watch your ass. When the White Balverine is slain you will aquire the WHITE BALVERINE HEAD TROPHY. Return to Knothole Glade and talk to the leader to receive Theresa's Letter and BOOK #32: The Bloodline. Quest complete, 6,200 gold and 800 Renown Points in the bank, experience and extra shit varies as you know. It should be getting close to daylight so stick around town until the shops open. Search one of the huts in the back of the town for BOOK #33: The Balverine Slayer. You can purchase a home in this area for 9,000 gold, a bit pricey. There is another Fistfighter Gang Arena in here, if you've passed the fights in Bowerstone, Oakvale, and Twinblade's Camp you can fight some more at midnight, the same rules apply for this fight as they did in the previous ones. The usual gang leader Rund isn't here, he must be in other towns organizing fights so talk to the Chief to enter this fight. Or is the Chief Tyler Durde? Hmmm, this a true Scooby-Doo mystery, it's high time we called in the Mystery Machine and crew to solve this psychological bonanza. This will be the last fight in this fight club and will be a little harder than all of the previous fights. When you fight the Chief he will prove to be quite the brute, two punches from him and you'll lose and you'll be fighting him until dawn before he goes down. If he's too tough for you then you could take the cowardly way out by hitting him from behind as soon as he stands up. You can flourish without any weapons to do a round house kick to knock the fighters down in case you haven't figured that out yet. When you do finally win you'll receive a bunch of praise and the FIST FIGHTER'S TROPHY. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and take the next main quest, The Arena. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE ARENA ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - A SHIT LOAD OF GOLD - A SHIT LOAD OF EXPERIENCE POINTS - A SHIT LOAD OF RENOWN POINTS - HERO DOLL: THUNDER - CHAMPION'S SEAL TROPHY - KING SCORPION STINGER TROPHY - AGES OF SKILL POTION - AGES OF WILL POTION - BOOK #34 - SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - RONOK THE AXE - SILVER KEY #18 This will prove to be a very fun quest, it's my favorite one because you can gain so much experience it's disgusting. You are going to be in a Gladiator Arena and you'll have to fight your way through eight stages. If you want to gain so much experience that you can max your character out, then fight your way up to stage seven and then Hero Save, then load the game and fight up to stage seven, Hero Save, load and repeat. If you do this five or six times you'll definitely have enough experience to max out either your Skill or Strength catagory. All of the experience points you earn will save with your hero if you do this, unfortunately the gold will not. Warp to Knothole Glade and head into Witchwood Lake, head to the gold dot to enter The Arena Entrance. Head up the road and you'll see a Hero Title Vendor on the right, continue to the arena doors and talk to the guards, select yes and enter. Watch the cut scene and when it's over you'll have a couple of minutes before you enter the arena so you can crush 'em. Buy the THUNDER HERO DOLL from the vendor, he has that shiny plate armor you need for that one Demon Door and I hope you have enough gold to purchase it for it will be a LONG time before you find another vendor selling it. This guy also sells some Augmentation Jewels for way too much money and you should already have a couple of them all if you're following this guide and not going haywire with them. There's a Black Jack Dealer in here if you want to piss some gold away. After a couple of minutes you will get your chance to prove yourself, go talk to the guard by the gold dot to step inside, you're in for a ride, and be crushed! After the cut scene and the fun begins you'll be surrounded by wasps, oh no! Take note of the round red circles embedded in the ground, don't go near 'em or you'll get sliced and diced pretty good. You'll go four rounds with the wasps to win the first stage and you'll win 100 gold. Next you'll go four rounds with some Hobbes, how scary, and win 500 gold. Watch the next cut scene to see an old friend appear and for the rest of the time you're in here Whisper will fight by your side. Next you'll have a go with some Balverines, some white ones too, equip that Silver Augmented weapon if you still have it for this stage to make things easier. As you know silver is *NOT* necessary to kill a White Balverine. When they're all good and dead you'll earn 1,000 gold. The next stage you will be up against some Undead Skeletons, we haven't seen these yet, they're not that tough, use your flourish on the bigger ones or magic, after another four rounds you'll win 2,000 gold. For the next stage of the battle you'll fight some Bandits and Assassins and win 3,000 gold. Next you'll fight two Earth Trolls, oh shit! One will concentrate on Whisper so at least you'll have that working for you, you only have to fight one round with them and the prize for this round is 4,000 gold. Damn, we're getting rich! The next round will be two Rock Troll's, again for only one round and the heafty gold bag of eight grand for winning this round. For the final showdown you'll have to fight a GIGANTIC Scorpion. This thing looks a lot tougher than it is so don't be intimidated, size don't mean shit, all is it means is that the bigger they are the harder they fall. Notice how its mouth is glowing green? That's its weak spot so concentrate on that and you'll be allright, the generous purse for this round is 10,000 gold, whoo-hoo! When it dies you will be forced to fight Whisper, she's still as easy to defeat as it is to push in an elevator button. After the fight you will have a choice of sparing her life or taking it, I'm sure you don't need any help in making the moral decision for your characters alignment, just walk out of the arena if you're letting her live. Watch all of the revealing cut scenes and then you'll be rewarded with a CHAMPION'S SEAL TROPHY, and a KING SCORPION STINGER TROPHY, along with all of the gold and what not, 28,600! Now you are to meet your sister at Grey House, teleport to the Barrow Fields and go to the gold dot to enter Grey House. Watch another revealing cut scene to complete this short task. Go into the house and some Skeletons will pop up, waste them all and you'll see a grave stone in the back of the house crumble. Open up the treasure chest in here for a Ruby, check the small shelf next to the chest for BOOK #34: Dusty Notebook and check the small cabinet for an AGES OF SKILL POTION. Go upstairs to see another Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires ten keys to open, do so for a SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL, check the cabinet up here for an AGES OF WILL POTION. Leave the house and go right to spot that grave stone that crumbled, dig in front of it to find a Deathlicon Tattoo, one of the better tatts in the game. Check the Scarecrow on the right for a Tallin Clan Arm Tattoo. Head towards the Demon Door on the map and you'll spot some bubbley water to the left of it, drop a line in to catch SILVER KEY #18. To open up this Demon Door you must marry Lady Grey and behind it is RONOK THE AXE. I'll tell you how later. Go back to the Guild and take the next side quest The Lost Trader. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: THE LOST TRADER ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - TREASURE CLUE #2 This will be another short and easy task to accomplish. Go into Oakvale and head up the Clifftop Path and make your way to the Abandoned Road. You'll run into a trader who has lost his brother and he needs you to find him. Follow him to an enemy and he'll stop, take care of this minor threat and the trader will wait where he is, continue along to the end of the road to see the traders lost brother. Go and talk to him and protect him all the way back to the beginning of the road to be reunited with his brother and receive TREASURE CLUE #2, and at least 2,600 gold and 150 Renown Points. Was this easy enough for you? Head back to the Heroes' Guild and take the next side quest Break the Seige. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: BREAK THE SEIGE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - TREASURE CLUE #4 - SILVER ARROW TROPHY - HERO DOLL: YOU This quest is for the goody guys, if there is an evil way to complete it I don't know what it is. Teleport to the Knothole Glade Cullis Gate to watch a cut scene, a Bandit wants you to free their leader. When the cut scenes end talk to the Guard so he can open up the gates, then start killing all of the Bandits outside. Some of them may get into the town and head towards their leader, DO NOT KILL THEIR LEADER WHICH IS INDICATED BY A BIG SILVER DOT or this quest will fail! Quite simple this quest will prove to be. You'll receive at least 450 Renown Points and 5,000 gold for this quest. After you do this quest you can play the Archery Game right outside of the town gates, you have to leave the area and then come back. I'd advise you to use a Lonbow while you play this game for it has a faster rate of fire than a Crossbow. It only costs ten gold pieces and if you score a 250 or better you'll receive TREASURE CLUE #4. If you score better than 313 points you'll receive the SILVER ARROW TROPHY. Also note that after you do this quest you'll hear the Guildmaster tell you that a group of Assassin's are avenging Twinblade's defeat. Head towards the exit into Witchwood Lake and you'll see a red dot appear on the thin path to the left, kill it to get a HERO DOLL OF YOURSELF. If the Assassin doesn't pop up here he will in the future at numerous other locations so don't worry about it, it's only a stupid doll that you will aquire. Head to the Orchard Farm. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: GHOST GRANNY NECKLACE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - DEAD LADY'S HEIRLOOM In the Orchard Farm go to the green dot and talk to the farmer. He will then ask you if you can go and see if the ghost of his mother is by her grave. Go to the grave on the side of the house to meet the ghost and hear her story of how a Bandit killed her and took her necklace. Go into Greatwood Lake and head for the sole red dot and kill the Bandit to obtain the DEAD LADY'S HEIRLOOM. Bring the necklace back to Isah in the Orchard Farm to be rewarded 500 gold pieces and some Renown Points. Whoopty-doo. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: INVESTIGATING THE MAYOR ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - BOOK #35 - BOOK #36 - SILVER KEY #19 - SCRAWLED PARCHMENT - WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR - THE MURREN GREATHAMMER - SILVER KEY #20 - THE KATANA HIRYU Now that are a very well renowned champion after whipping some ass in the arena you may enter Bowerstone North, do so and watch the cut scene. From where you entered the Bowerstone North go into the first house on the right and take BOOK #35: The Tailor's Tragedy off of the bookshelf, go upstairs and open up the treasure chest for 500 gold. DO NOT TALK TO LADY GREY YET! Go into the house across the street from the shop and look on a bookshelf upstairs for BOOK #36: The Trigamist. You now have enough books for SILVER KEY #19 so take all of the books to the teacher in Bowerstone South and donate them. Go to the green dot on the map next to the flashing gold one and talk to a prisoner, he'll tell you he was framed and if you could help prove his innocence. Kind of a far fetched story but hey, you can help the guy invesigate a true Scooby-Doo mystery if you want. This side quest is called INVESTIGATING THE MAYOR. If you choose to take this side quest then warp to the Barrow Fields. Go to the green dot by the Demon Door and talk to Amanda's grieving lover. Listen to the guys sob story and then go to the Grey House area. As soon as you enter you'll see stables on the right, go in them and turn your lamp on and off three times and you'll see a ghost appear and unlock the cellar doors, go into the cellar. Watch the cut scene and you'll see a letter by the skeleton, SCRAWLED PARCHMENT. **YOU CAN SCREW YOURSELF OUT OF A SILVER KEY IF YOU PICK UP THIS PARCHMENT** Go do the next quest up to the Silver Key (and don't marry Lady Grey if you want to become Mayor of Bowerstone) and then come back in here to get the parchment. If you pick the letter up Lady Grey will appear and offer you her hand in marriage and to cover up her bad deed, if you're already married to her then listen to what this cold hearted bitch has to say. You can also marry her in the next side quest. Open up the chest in here for a WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR. Go back to Bowerstone North and take the note to the Sherrif by the main gates to complete this side quest and you will be offered to become the new Mayor. Accept or decline, your choice. If you're married to Lady Grey then you *WILL NOT* be offered the Mayor position so please, no e- mail's on this matter. If you accept to become Mayor then after the cut scene go into your new home, formerly Lady Grey's. Run straight ahead and enter Lady Grey's bedroom, search the bed to find SILVER KEY #20, open up Silver Key Treasure Chest, which requires fifteen keys, to find a really good melee weapon, THE KATANA HIRYU. If you do become Mayor then watch how the people around town react to you, it's kind of funny. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and take the next main quest Rescue the Archeologist. But before you head out on this quest you should have twenty silver keys if you're following this guide so go and open up the Silver Key Treasure Chest next to the melee training ring to find THE MURREN GREATHAMMER. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: MAYOR'S INVITATION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - LADY GREY'S NECKLACE - SILVER KEY #21 - THUNDER'S HELMET TROPHY - MANA AUGMENTATION JEWEL - SILVER KEY #20 (not a typo) - THE KATANA HIRYU (not a typo) In Bowerstone North go straight ahead to see Lady Grey standing in front of her fountain, talk to her and she demands a gift from you. Talk about being stuck on herself, huh? Anyways go into the shop that is yellow on the map and buy her a Black Rose, then go and give it to her. She will then talk about marriage and all this other stuff. If you want to marry her you can, so if you want to marry her then go and buy a home somewhere and then return to her. Now you have to find this chics necklace that she has somehow lost, great, talk about finding a needle in a haystack. This side quest is called MAYOR'S INVITATION. Talk to the people you run into and then talk to a guy in the shop and he'll tell you that he heard the necklace was somewhere in Oakvale. If you want to take this quest then teleport to Oakvale and head towards the blinking silver dot to enter the Memorial Garden. You'll see two guys to your immediate left, go behind them and sneak up to the wall seperating you from them to hear them say "they buried it on the beach between two boats." Leave the garden and go down onto the beach near Clifftop Path, you'll see two boats on the beach upside down, dig between them to find LADY GREY'S NECKLACE. Take the necklace back to Lady Grey and she will then want you to fight Thunder, Whisper's brother in case you haven't been paying attention to the main story. Head towards the silver blinking dot to enter Bowerstone Jail and watch the cut scene. Head towards the silver dot to enter Windmill Hill. Just head straight to the silver dot and ignore all of the enemies and enter the Gibbet Woods. Again ignore all enemies and items (we're coming back this way in the next main quest) and enter Headman's Hill. Watch the cut scene and then beat Thunder's ass, simple. This guy is nothing to fear so have none. When you have beat him down half way he will push you, and himself, off of a cliff and you'll land near a Demon Door, beat Thunder down some more and he will retreat into a cave, that pussie! Drop your fishing line into the bubbley water next to you to snag SILVER KEY #21. Head through the cave on the left for the final showdown and slay Thunder. When he is defeated you'll get THUNDER'S HELMET TROPHY, open up the Silver Key Treasure Chest, which requires fifteen keys, to find a MANA AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Return to the Demon Door and it will open for you, now return to Lady Grey and take her hand in marriage if you want, you don't have to. After the cut scenes go into Lady Grey's Estate, run straight ahead into the bedroom and look on the bed for SILVER KEY #20, open up Silver Key Treasure Chest, which requires fifteen keys, to find a really good melee weapon, THE KATANA HIRYU. If you didn't marry Lady Grey then you cannot get into her estate, but you can if you the Mayor so keep this in mind. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: RESCUE THE ARCHEOLOGIST ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - PIERCING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - SILVER KEY #22 - SILVER KEY #23 - TREASURE CLUE #6 - AGES OF SKILL POTION - AGES OF WILL POTION - AGES OF MIGHT POTION - 2 RESURRECTION PHIALS - MINION'S HELMET TROPHY - SILVER AUGMENTATION JEWEL In Bowerstone North head to the gold dot to enter Bowerstone Jail. Watch the cut scene and head up the road to meet a Minion, these creatures are tough so test your flourishing techniques and use magic to destroy them. You'll have a couple of guards fighting by your side, try your best to protect them although their survival is not a requirement to the complete this quest, they just help out a lot in the Minion slaying department. Just past the bridge to the right is a treasure chest with a PIERCING AUGMENTATION JEWEL in it. Up the road a little ways is another treasure chest on the right, open it for an Ebony Longbow. Just past the chest are some barrels, smash them to find an AGES OF WILL POTION. Head into the next area Windmill Hill and watch another cut scene. Kill some more Minions (use the exploding barrels to your advantage) and fish in the bubbley water on the right to find a Wedding Ring. Go up the hill and you'll see a house on the left and a field with a Scarecrow in it to the left of the house. Go by the Scarecrow to see a circle of flowers, dig in the middle of them with your shovel to find SILVER KEY #22. Head to the big gold dot on the map and kill the Minion Summoner, the barrier will now be down. Go into the Windmill and smash the barrels for an AGES OF MIGHT POTION. Climb the stairs on the side of the windmill and open up the treasure chest for a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Go behind the Windmill to see another circle of flowers, dig in the middle of them for SILVER KEY #23, keep going to find TREASURE CLUE #6 in a treasure chest. Head into the next area the Gibbet Woods. Watch another cut scene and a Minion will summon a Rock Troll, obviously kill it. Head up the road towards the gold dot and waste some more Minions and continue along to the Prison Path. Okay you now have five minutes to kill a shit load of Minions before they kill the Archeologist who is at the end of the dock. Just keep on hacking and slashing and bashing and casting and bludgeoning and beating and pounding until the Minions are all dead and you'll receive a MINION HELMET TROPHY, at least 7,000 gold and 500 Renown Points and this quest will be complete. On the left side of the dock is a RESURRECTION PHIAL in a barrel, at the end of the dock is a treasure chest with a SILVER AUGMENTATION JEWEL in it. You will jump right into the next main quest The Graveyard Path. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE GRAVEYARD PATH ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL - SILVER KEY #24 - SILVER KEY #25 - SILVER KEY #26 - NOSTRO'S SHIELD - NOSTRO'S ARMOR - NOSTRO'S SWORD - NOSTRO'S HELMET - RESURRECTION PHIAL - AGES OF SKILL POTION - SILVER AUGMENTATION JEWEL - PIERCING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - UNDEAD HAND TROPHY Go back into the Gibbet Woods and head to the gold dot to enter Headman's Hill. To the left is a treasure chest with a FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL in it. Head to the gold dot to enter the Lychfield Graveyard. Go to the gold dot to talk to some people, a Cullis Gate is on the right as well as a Demon Door. To open this door we must collect four important items so let's go snag 'em. Go towards the house on the left to trigger a cut scene, when it's over open up the treasure chest if you're in need of a spade. Go into the house and talk to some creep who'll tell you to go into the crypt at the back of the graveyard. After the cut scene go to the left to spot some bubbley water, drop your fishing line in there to snag SILVER KEY #24. Keep an eye on your context sensitive icons in this cemetary for there are a lot of items in here to dig up with your spade, including some tattoos not available anywhere else. A little ways past the water is the grave of Deacon Sutter, dig it up for SILVER KEY #25. No go to the crypt in the back of the graveyard to meet a ghost who wants his armor and sword if he is to open up the Demon Door for you. Head down the hill (there's a Fishing Rod in a chest on the right behind some vines) and go to the green dot on the left to enter a tomb, go into it and open up the casket to find NOSTRO'S ARMOR, not Armour, ARMOR! You *CANNOT* equip any of Nostro's armor or his sword so please no e-mail's on this matter. Across from this tomb is some more bubbley water, drop a fishing line in them to fish out NOSTRO'S SHIELD. Head across the bridge and go right to another tomb, enter it to snag SILVER KEY #26. Leave this tomb and dig in the small area of graves next to you on the right to find NOSTRO'S SWORD. Head to the last green dot to be back in the house, take NOSTRO'S HELMET off of the small shelf on the right, there's also an AGES OF SKILL potion in a small cabinet by the fireplace. Now return to Nostro and give him his battle gear and he will open up the Demon Door, go through to enter the Old Graveyard Path. This path is infested with Undead so take your time to gain some nice experience, do it a few times if you wish, just don't kill all of the Undead Captains. When you cross the bridge look for a treasue chest on the right with a RESSURECTION PHIAL inside of it. Just keep fighting your way down the path until the end and kill all of the Undead Captains to unlock the door blocking your progress. Before heading through the door open up the treasure chest on the left for another SILVER AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Go through the door to enter the Circle of the Dead. Head down the stairs towards the big gold blinking dot and look to the left to spot a Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires ten keys to open, do so to snag a PIERCING AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Go to the gold dot to trigger a cut scene, when it's over you're going to have to kill a bunch of Undead to please the spirit. Make sure the Undead are on the platform when you kill them and when the outer circle gets full of green skulls some Undead Captains will rise. Kill them all, again making sure they're on the platform while doing so, and when the inner circle is full of skulls this quest will be complete and you'll be up some gold, Renown Points, experience and have an UNDEAD HAND TROPHY. You will go right into the next main quest Rescue Scarlet Robe but teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and take the Execution Tree or Execution Tree Rescue side quest. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: EXECUTION TREE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - Zilch, zero, nadda Depending on your alignment take the quest geared for your character. Go to Bowerstone North and head into Bowerstone Jail for this quest to begin. If you're good then you have to stop the Bandit's from freeing a prisoner on the way to the chopping block. Two guards will be escorting a prisoner, stay close to them as you make your way towards Windmill Hill and kill the Bandit's that appear. Continue through Windmill Hill and protect the guards all the way through to the Gibbet Woods, while fighting be sure the prisoner doesn't escape. In here is more of the same, just keep on killing and protecting all the way through these woods and into Headman's Hill. Bring the prisoner to the Executioner to end this quest for at least 4,500 gold and 200 Renown Points. If you're evil then all you have to do is kill all of the guards before they execute this schmuck. Run through Bowerstone Jail with some Bandits and kill the group of guards then continue into Windmill Hill. Again run through this area protecting your fellow Bandits (their survival is not required to complete this quest) and wasting guards into the Gibbet Woods. Make your way to Headman's Hill and rescue the poor guy about to be decapitated to complete this quest for at least 4,500 gold and 200 Renown Points. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and take the next side quest, Darkwood Disturbance. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: DARKWOOD DISTURBANCE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - PIMP HAT - DEEDS TO BORDELLO Teleport yourself to the Greatwood Cullis Gate and make your way into Darkwood. Run through the marshes and head into Darkwood Lake to watch a cut scene. Now you have to cover Briar Rose's back while she tries to activate a shrine, does she not remind you of Marla form that movie "Fight Club?" Follow this woman and a bunch of Minion's will pop up and try to kill her so kill them before this happens. After you kill them all follow this lady to the shrine and protect her while she activates it. I hope by now that you've aquired the Heal Life Spell 'cause you're going to need it, these Minions aren't messing around and will kick the crap out of this chic in a matter of seconds so stay close to her and heal her when she needs it. When the shrine gets activated this side quest will be over and you'll receive at least 100 Renown Points and 3,500 gold. Remember the Whore House across the lake that was closed for renovations? Well it is now open for business so get your ass in there and go get you some. After the cut scene and you meet the nasty head Madame of this fine establishment turn around to spot a small pond on the right, drop your fishing line in the bubbley water to snag a Health Potion, whoopty-doo. If this potion is a hint of some game designers sense of humor it's just plain stupid and you have no taste, in fact you're downright tacky. You probably have little doiley furniture covers and some kind of lame ass ceramic collection infesting all of your shelf space in the living room that nobody wants to look at. Just past these bubbles are some more if you want a Moonfish, take notice of the tree by the lake. Behind the Bordello is another Demon Door, to make it open you must have sex ten times with some whores in the house, I hope no children are playing this game. Behind this Demon Door you will find a PIMP HAT. Yes, a Pimp Hat, purple no less, you'll look like Kramer from that one episode of Seinfeld if you sport this. The prices of the whores vary so if you want to get into the Demon Door it's going to cost you a nice chunk of gold, not to mention a sore and brush-burned whistle stick. I hope you have some weed, Viagara, and condoms in your inventory because you're going to need them. You can bang the same whore ten times if you want to save some loot, just look for the cheaper ones. This part of the game amuses me due to the fact that the game designers covered a few fetishes, some of them must have really kinky ones and all I'm allowing myself to say is "granny sex?" The designers could've at least thrown in some kind of reference to condoms if you ask me, kids DO get a hold of M rated games and there's nothing wrong in promoting safe sex. While you're in this little Palace of Love make sure you talk to the owner (Grope) standing next to the bar. After you talk to him talk to the head Madame again to find out that the owner talks in his sleep and reveals secrets while doing so. Go back to the owner and give him a beer. He'll thank you and try to persuade you to take one of the hoes upstairs. Keep on giving the owner beer until he gets so wasted (six beers) he goes upstairs to pass out. A cut scene will trigger and you'll find out that the owner hid the deed to this place under a tree down by the lake. After the cut scene leave the house and go to the lake and dig in front of the only tree to find the DEEDS TO THE BORDELLO. You can either keep the deeds for yourself or you can go and give them to the head Madame. Your choice. You get no reward or anything for giving the deed to the whores or no bad points for keeping the deed for yourself. If you do keep the deeds come back here every few days to collect a bunch of rent, your Pimpin' fee actually. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and take the next side quest, Bounty Hunt. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: BOUNTY HUNT ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - TREASURE CLUE #1 Yet another extremely easy side quest to add to your vast collection of easy ass quests, and this isn't a bounty hunt just to let you know. It's a rescue mission, plain and simple. Exit the Guild into Lookout Point and make your way to Greatwood, a woman will run up and tell you that some Bandits have taken some town people hostage. Go into Greatwood and make your way towards the silver dot to enter Fisher's Creek. Kill all of the enemies in here and rescue some helpless guy, he will ask you to go and free his daughter. Go back into Greatwood and make your way to Greatwood Lake. The guys daughter is up the hill on the right, kill all of the Bandits charging you and then kill the Bandit Captain guarding the damsel in distress with a head shot via an arrow. Kill the remaining enemies to complete this quest and receive TREASURE CLUE #1 and at least 5,400 gold and 400 Renown Points. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: RESCUE SCARLET ROBE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - 3 RESURRECTION PHIALS - SILVER KEY #27 - LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - AGES OF WILL POTION - AGES OF MIGHT POTION Teleport back to the Lychfield Graveyard and make your way back to the Circle of the Dead. Go through the door towards the blinking dot to enter an Underground Chamber. This is just a large circular area so make your way around and go through the door to enter the Underground Tunnel. Head down the tunnel and some Undead will rise out of the ground, slay them down and break the barrels you see to find an AGES OF WILL POTION, then head towards the dead end on your map, open up the treasure chest to find a RESURRECTION PHIAL. Head towrds the gold dot to enter Cliffside Path. Head up the path to the left and at the top of the map you'll see a little cul de sac, go in there and dig inside the circle of mushrooms for SILVER KEY #27, open up the treasure chest for a LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Go into the watery area and go onto the little island to open another treasure chest with a SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL in it. Head towards the gold dot to spot another small cul de sac on the bottom of the map, open up the treasure chest in there for another RESURRECTION PHIAL. Go and try to go through the door next to you and some Undead Captains will rise up, slay them all and go through the door to enter another Underground Passage. Head forwards wasting Guards and go to the dead end on the map, open up the treasure chest to find yet another RESURRECTION PHIAL. Go to the gold blinking dot to enter a large room with barrels all around, smash them all for some items, open up the treasure chest to find an Obsidian Katana, check behind the pillars near the stairs for another treasure chest with a Dark Leather Chest Piece in it. Go to the gold dot and smash the barrels on the right for an AGES OF MIGHT POTION, go through the door to enter the Torture Chamber. When the cut scene ends use the lever to open up your mothers cell, she will follow you back into the Underground Passage. Kill some Guards and make your way through this passage and a cut scene will trigger. You're now screwed 'cause you're going to jail and will lose all of your equipment and you'll also jump into the next main quest, Prison Escape. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: PRISON ESCAPE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - PRISON CELL KEY - AGES OF MIGHT POTION - KRAKEN TOOTH TROPHY You're now in a cell stripped down to your faggity chip-chip cheerio British Flag speedos and a Guard is talking some smack to you. You have no equipment whatsoever but don't worry, you'll have all of your items back shortly. The guards in this place like to play some kind of sick twisted game with the prisoner's and force you guys to have a race around the facility. When the guard comes back around he'll let you out of your cell so you can humiliate yourself in this pathetic race. Listen to the rules and then the race will begin, it isn't hard at all, the guards will direct you so pay attention to the way they're telling you to go. After you win you'll meet the Warden of this hellhole and you'll get an invitation into his office, whatever you do in there don't drop the soap and leave those speedos on. Okay, this part is kind of funny, you have to listen to the Warden while he recites you some poetry he wrote for Lady Grey. He demands complete silence while he recites to you so you'll have to go into stealth mode for this part, if you're Guile Skill is maxed out then this will be a walk in the park. You'll spot three diaries on a table to the right, you have to read one but first you must get the combination. To do so sneak very quietly behind the Warden, trying not to laugh, and look on the little shelf just past him to get the code. Note that you only have a limited amount of time to pull this off so don't dilly-dally. If you are caught sneaking around or run out of time you'll get tortured and have to race all over again next year. I think it's met that you get caught at least once so be prepared to do the race twice. Return to the diary and open up one of them to find a PRISON CELL KEY. There is also a Somrune Tattoo on the bookshelf in here if you want it. I don't want to know where you hid that key after hearing all that poetry wearing nothing but your scivies but I'm sure it wasn't a pleasent experience, definitely not one to share with your future grandkids. When you're back in your cell and the Guard goes away open your cell door, run into the cell across from you and smash the barrels to find a stick. If you want you can free all of the other prisoners by simply unlocking their cells. Head to the gold dot to enter the Courtyard. Head towards the gold dot and gurads will attack you, it's a tough battle trying to beat their asses with a stick so just head to the gold dot to be back in the Torture Chamber, your mother is once again locked in there but she wants you to go and get all of your equipment back before you free her. Go back into the Courtyard and run straight ahead and go up the stairs, head through the door on the right to be in the Prison Barracks. Open up the treasure chest straight ahead for your missing belongings. Open up all of the other treasure chests in here to find Guard Trousers, a Guard Shirt, a Guard Hat, some Guard Boots, and finally a pair of Guard Gloves. Smash the barrels in here to find another AGES OF MIGHT POTION. Go back into the Torture Chamber and free your mother, then take her into the Underground Passage, make sure you have the Heal Life Spell at the ready and protect your mother at all costs. Run all the way through this passage and go back into Cliffside Path. Make your way down the path and go back int the Underground Tunnel. Continue along through the tunnel killing enemies and protecting dear old mom and go back into the Underground Chamber. Head forwards to trigger a cut scene and get ready to fight another boss, a giant octapuss like creature, Kraken. You have to protect your mother throughout this battle so have her wait in a safe place if you can. I found that the Multi-Arrow level three spell worked out great for this battle so if you've got it then flaunt it. Shoot the tentacles to make them disappear and then the beast will raise its head up, launch some arrows at it and then it will go under the ooze again. Now two tentacles will rise out of the ooze and begin to whip you around like a rag doll, destroy them to make the beast rear its ugly grin once again. Launch some more arrows at it and it should die if you're using the Multi-Arrow Spell. Watch the cut scene and then collect all of the experince orbs around the chamber then take your mom to the gold dot to end this quest and watch the next revealing cut scene. For this quest you'll receive the KRAKEN TOOTH TROPHY, the ammount of everything else is based on combat skills and such. You will be given a new main quest, Gateway to Hook Coast. But before that quest teleport to the Heroes' Guild and take the next side quest, Bandit Spy Extraction. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: BANDIT SPY EXTRACTION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - 2 SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWELS - LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - TRADER HEAD TROPHY This quest is geared towards evil characters, if there is a good way to do it I don't know what it is. Warp to Bowerstone South and head into Bowerstone North. Head to the moving green dot by the entrance to Bowerstone Jail and talk to Tanya to find out what's going on. When the cut scene is over you may hire the Bandit's to help your for 100 gold a piece. Head up the road and waste some Guards and then go into Windmill Hill. Up ahead you'll see two traders getting escorted by some Guards, take notice of the three green dots at the top of the map, head to them and talk to the trader highlighted in green, they may have gone into the Gibbet Woods if you were screwing around. Now just simply escort this trader all the way back to Bowerstone North, if you happen to fail then you'll have to talk to Tanya to try this side quest again. Make sure you kill all of the other trader's to find a SHARPENING AND LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION JEWEL, and a diamond. For this simple quest you will receive another SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL, a TRADER HEAD TROPHY, and at least 400 Renown Points and 5,800 gold. Teleport to the Greatwood Cullis Gate to continue the main quest. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: GATEWAY TO HOOK COAST ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - EXPERIENCE AUGMENTATION JEWEL - BOOK #37 Head into Greatwood Caves and then enter the dreaded Darkwood. Make your way into the marshes and then pass by the lake to enter Ancient Cullis Gate. Go the the Cullis Gate and a bunch of Undead will rise, kill about fifteen of them to activate the Cullis Gate and then you will transport to the Hook Coast. Head down the hill and you'll spot another house for sale on the left, it costs a whopping 29,000 gold pieces and by the looks of this town it's defintely not prime real estate. Go right and into the first house on the right and search in the cabinet upstairs for a SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Leave this house and a shop will be on the right, go into the armor and weapons shop and buy some good armor if you don't have any by now. If you don't then how in the hell did you make it this far into the game? This guy also sells a bunch of Augmentation Jewels, including an EXPERIENCE JEWEL, it costs damn near fifty grand and it is not worth it if you ask me. Leave the shop and you may notice that a DUDE has a crush on you, this game is getting a bit too weird and way too creepy. Tramp stamp tattoos for men, wigs, dresses, speedos, poetry, and now this crap. What are the game designers trying to tell us here, or worse, trying to suggest? Whomever did put all of this stuff into the game ought to get doused in honey and bacon grease and then thrown into a pit with a Kodiak Bear that just came out of hibernation. Continue along to the big flashing gold dot to trigger a cut scene. Check all of the houses to the right for a few tattoos not available anywhere else. Now teleport back to the Heroes' Guild to speak with your mother. Head to Maze's Tower and speak with mommy dearest, after another revealing cut scene take BOOK #37: Arban's Thaumaturgica off of the table to complete this quest and receive at least 500 Renown Points and 4,200 gold. Return to the Guildmaster for he is the only person who can read from the book you've just found. Take the quest card you mother left for you, Return to the Hook Coast. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: RETURN TO HOOK COAST ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - MAZE'S CLASP TROPHY - SILVER KEY #28 - MURREN GREATAXE Teleport back to the Hook Coast to watch another cut scene. When it's over some Screamers will chase you, they are extremely weak and should die with one chop from your melee weapon if it's decent enough and augmented up. Head to the big gold dot and you'll hear the Guildmaster recite some jibberish to unblock the doorway, kill the Screamer behind you and enter through the now open doorway to watch another revealing cut scene and have a tough showdown with Maze. Maze is supremely skilled in melee combat and has some outstanding parrying skills so you're going to have to use magic and flourish on him. After you beat Maze down a bit he will retreat so just follow the gold dot. For this part of the battle I found the Multi-Arrow level three spell worked out great. He will launch some type of magic ball at you so move out of the way accordingly. He will then go into a Lighthouse and up some stairs, he will begin to transport here and there around this Lighthouse so just follow the gold dot on the mini map when he does. Just chop the door down on the Lighthouse to get inside of it. When Maze is finally dead this quest will be complete and you'll receive at least 16,000 gold and 1,500 Renown Points as well as MAZE'S CLASP TROPHY. Go into the Lighthouse and search the cabinet on the first floor for SILVER KEY #28, there's also 500 gold in another cabinet. Climb the winding staircase all the way to the top of the Lighthouse to spot a Silver Key Treasure Chest, which requires fifteen keys to open, do so for the MURREN GREATAXE. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and speak with the Guildmaster. After the cut scene you will head into the next main quest, Stop the Jack of Blades. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: STOP THE JACK OF BLADES ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - JACK'S MASK - THE SWORD OF AEONS Talk to the Guildmaster and go step into the Cullis Gate to trigger a cut scene, this dickhead the Jack of Blades is activating all of those strange boulders you've seen throughout the game. You are now in Witchwood and Undead will be rising out of the ground, Minion's and Screamers will also be all over the place, head to the gold blinking dot to watch a cut scene and old Jacky boy will activate the first boulder. After the cut scene you'll be in the Orchard Farm, make your way into Greatwood Lake and follow the blinking gold dot to trigger another cut scene and Jack will activate another boulder. You will then be in the Hobbe Cave. Make your way all the way through the cave (you'll never guess who you'll run into) to the Focus Chamer to watch Jack activate yet another boulder, gulp! After the cut scene you'll be in Bowerstone Jail, make your way into Windmill Hill and then run into the Gibbet Woods. Head to the big gold dot to watch Jack active the last boulder and this quest will be over and you'll receive at least 5,000 gold and 800 Renown Points. You will head right into the next main quest Battle the Jack of Blades. You are now back in the Guild and it's on fire. Go into the Guild Library to meet up with the Guildmaster and watch the cut scene, the story for this game is great. Now enter the Guild Caves and run straight ahead into the Chamber of Fate and get ready to whip the Jack of Blades' ass. After another compelling cut scene Jack will summon some Minion's to try and do his dirty work, slay them all to make Jack come out and play. I wouldn't advise getting involved in a melee duel with Jack, use your most powerful magic against him. I found that the Infernal Wrath level four and the Multi-Arrow level four spells worked great against this fool, your Physical Shield spell would also be a good choice, I hope you've been stocking up on Will Potion. Jack will shoot some magic stars out of his sword at you from a distance and will kill you faster than Star Jones can suck down a pack of twinkies if you get too close to him so be weary and parry when needed. Beat this douchebag down to about half way to trigger a cut scene and you'll see some small pillars rise around the chamber. Jack is now levitating above you so go and run behind one of the pillars. Launch some Multi- Arrows and then retreat behind the pillar to wait for his counter attack, after he does peek out and repeat this process and he'll be dead in no time. When you have defeated the Jack of Blades another cut scene will trigger, you'll then have a choice to destroy Jack's sword, THE SWORD OF AEONS. If you're a good character then obviously destroy the sword. If you are an evil bastard then slay your sister with the sword to be able to keep it for yourself. Throw the sword into the vortex or kill sis' to trigger yet another cut scene, after which you'll receive at least 20,000 gold and a whopping 4,000 Renown Points, you'll also have JACK'S MASK to add to your inventory, it's not a trophy. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE PROPHET'S OF THE FIRE HEART ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - FIRE HEART - FIRE HEART BAND TROPHY - AVO'S TEAR --SIDE QUEST TO BE COMPLETED: - THE HIDDEN SWORD After the cut scenes it will be one year later and the most renowned warrior in all of Albion has requested a meeting with you. Teleport back to the Heroes' Guild and exit into Lookout Point to meet up with Scythe and the Guildmaster. After the cut scene head to the Demon Door across from the boasting pedestal. This is the Demon Door you've been hearing people talk about throughout the game and how it won't open and blah, blah, blah. Since you have Jack's Mask the door will open up for you so head on in. In here you'll meet some Prophets and to free them you must solve a puzzle and turn the moons into suns if you're good or turn the suns into moons if you're evil. If you turn the puzzle board into all suns then a Prophet will be freed. If you turn the puzzle board into all moons then a Prophet will die. To solve this puzzle is quite simple, you will have five rounds and a limited amount of time for each round so don't dilly-dally. Just walk onto a moon to turn it into a sun and vice versa. There's really no hints or anything I can give you for this, like I said it's quite the simple puzzle that a monkey could solve. When you have freed or killed all of the Prophets you will obtain the FIRE HEART. Watch the cut scene to be rewarded the FIRE HEART BAND TROPHY and at least 5,000 gold and 250 Renown Points. The Guildmaster suggested that you go check out Maze's Tower to investigate a powerful weapon that is hidden somewhere in the Heroes' Guild. This side quest is called THE HIDDEN SWORD. Go to Maze's Tower and up the stairs, look on the bookshelf to read some diary entries to learn about this sword. Head out of the tower and go into the little courtyard and you'll see four graves by a big fountain, read the one that is furthest from the tower to receive AVO'S TEAR, a very powerful sword so get this at the ready, it is augmented with health, mana, and experience jewels, hellyeah! If you've kept the Sword of Aeons then you *CANNOT* do this quest for this sword. Again, if you've kept the Sword of Aeons then you *CANNOT* get this sword so please, no e-mail's on this matter. Before going to the Hook Coast to continue in the main quest go to the quest table and take the side quest, Ransom Victim. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SIDE QUEST: THE RANSOM VICTIM ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - THE HARBRINGER Teleport to Knothole Glade and head to the big silver dot on the mini map and talk to the Chief. His son has been kidnapped by Bandit's and they'll send the Chief his son's head if he doesn't fork over a ransom. And of course you're the only Hero in all of Albion who has the balls to rescue this kid. Head into Witchwood Lake and make your way down the winding path slaying Balverine's and go into the Temple of Avo. I hope by now that your strength upgrades are maxed out, if they are and you've forgotten about the Sword in the Stone side quest go pull it out of the stone right now, this sword is THE HARBRINGER and it's one of the more crappier weapons in the game. Forgive me if you've already completed this cliche side quest, I'm sure someone out there using my guide forgot about it. The game is almost over so you might want to get moving on these two side quests if you haven't completed them, side quests are optional as you know but you mine as well do them all. Contine to the silver dot and enter Witchwood Stones, contine to the silver dot on the bottom of the map to trigger a cut scene. The Bandits said you could go in to meet with their boss so go through the door to do so, the leader will then demand the ransom from you if the boy is to be freed. If you're a sucker then fork out the gold, if not then simply kill the leader and the boy will be grateful. Now take him all the way back to his father in Knothole Glade (if evil then deliver him to the silver dot on the top of the mini map in Knothole Glade along the thin path across from the Demon Door), being careful not to let Bandit's kill him, to complete this side quest and you'll receive at least 3,000 gold and 500 Renown Points. Continue in the main quest and head to the Hook Coast. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE SHIP OF THE DROWNED ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEM TO AQUIRE: - MAP TO LOST BAY TROPHY Now that you're back in the Hook Coast watch the cut scene. You must activate the Lighthouse beacon so go in it all the way to the top, activate the beacon by putting the Fire Heart into the slot and then watch the next cut scene. Now a Summoner is trying to destroy the Fire Heart, follow Briar and waste the Summoner. They are very powerful and the best way to kill them is with magic, preferably Multi-Arrows from a safe distance. When it croaks a couple of more will appear by the Lighthouse along with a bunch of Minions so go and kill 'em all. Don't dilly-dally and make it quick or the Fire Heart will be destroyed and you'll have to try this quest again if that happens. The best thing to do is concentrate on the Summoners and try to ignore the Minions, use the Physical Shield Spell if things get too hairy and you don't want to waste several phials of Ressurection Potion. When the two Summoner's have fallen victim to your wrath another cut scene will trigger and the Ghost Ship will appear. This quest will then be over and you'll receive a MAP TO THE LOST BAY TROPHY, and at least 5,000 gold and 800 Renown Points. You'll go to the Lost Bay and continue on in the main quest, the Oracle of Snowspire. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE ORACLE OF SNOWSPIRE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - 3 ELIXIRS OF LIFE - WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR - SILVER KEY #29 - SILVER KEY #30 - THE AVENGER - HOLY WARRIOR HELM - DEMON WARRIOR HELM - RESURRECTION PHIAL - 3 AGES OF WILL POTIONS - AGES OF SKILL POTION - AGES OF MIGHT POTION - BOOK #38 - HEALTH AUGMENTATION JEWEL - MANA AUGMENTATION JEWEL - SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL - HERO DOLL: SCYTHE - MOYRK'S TABLET - CARLAN'S TABLET - YERON'S TABLET - AVISTRO'S TABLET - ARCHON'S BATTLE HELMET - ARCHON'S BATTLE CHEST PIECE - ARCHON'S BATTLE GAUNTLETS - ARCHON'S BATTLE LEGGINGS - ARCHON'S BATTLE BOOTS - SUMMONER GAUNTLET TROPHY You are now in the Lost Bay, head to the right to spot some bubbley water at the ocean's edge, plop your fishing line in there to pull out an ELIXIR OF LIFE. This potion will not work if you're health is already maxed out, if it is you can always sell it for a nice profit. Behind you is a Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires all thirty keys to open so remember this chest and come back after you snag the last two keys. In this chest you will find THE AVENGER, a really crappy sword for having to find all the f'in silver keys for. You'll also receive every gem in the game in this chest. Turn around and head to the house on the right, dig in the Baykeepers grave with your shovel to find SILVER KEY #29, go into the house and up the stairs to spot a treasure chest with a RESURRECTION PHIAL in it. Continue along to some stairs, ascend them and go right to find a HOLY WARRIOR HELM inside of a treasure chest. Go to the top of the map to trigger yet another cut scene and get ready to destroy a giant Ice Troll. They are pretty tough and brutal opponents but fireballs, level four, will destroy this thing with ease. After your victory head on into the Northern Foothills. On the left you'll see a skeleton, pick up the potion lying next to it along with BOOK #38: Creatures of the North. Just past the book to the left is some bubbley water, drop your fishing line in the bubbles to snag another ELIXIR OF LIFE. Just past the water on the right is a treasure chest, open it to find an AGES OF WILL POTION. Cross the bridge and some Minions will attack you, kill them all and look for a grave on the right with a sword for its tombstone, dig in the grave to find a Furite Stripe Face Tattoo. Keep following the road until it forks off, open up the treasure chest by the fork to find a HEALTH AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Straight up the road is some kind of giant door but it's locked, head to the gold dot to enter Archon's Shrine. To your left is a Cullis Gate, continue to the left and you'll see an incling path going up on the left, follow the path and open up the treasure chest for ORKON'S CLUB. Head towards the big purple circle in the middle of the mini map, just before it you'll spot some more bubbley water, drop a fishing line in them to fish out yet another ELIXIR OF LIFE. Head to the purple circle to trigger a cut scene with that weird Marla look-a-like chic. When it's over head down the north most road on the map to spot a treasure chest on the right, open it for a DEMON WARRIOR HELM. Head to the gold blinking dot towards Snowspire Village, just before it to the right is more bubbley water, once again drop a fishing line in them to pull out a WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR, at least it wasn't another Elixir of Life. If your Mana Bar is at the maximum you can always sell this potion for a decent buck. Head into Snowspire Village to watch another intriguing cut scene, when it's over we'll have to find some glyph tablets in Necropolis but first let's explore this town. Turn around and go down the stairs, to your left and right are a whole bunch of houses. Go into the first house on the left and look in the cabinets for a tattoo and a SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL, check upstairs for another lame ass tattoo. Leave this house and go into the house across the street on the left, search a cabinet in here for some Fire Assassin Trousers. Leave this house and go into the next one on the right and look into the cabinet in here for an Emerald and another tattoo. There is another home you can purchase next to this house for a puke inducing 25,000 gold. You'll never make your money back on this one 'cause the game is nearing the end sorry to say. There is a trader in this area selling a bunch of new tattoos, another trader is just selling basic items. Head back to the stairs that led you down here and search all of the houses on the other side of town. Go into the first house on the right and search inside of the cabinets for Fire Assassin Gloves. Across the street is a charity, you can donate items if you'd like and also buy a few worthless ones as well. Leave this building and go into the house on the left, in here are three more tattoos and an AGES OF WILL POTION. Go into the next house to find some Fire Assassin Boots. Head to the area next to the last house to see two small barns, break the barrels in them to find an Amtheyst, the ONLY one in the game, two more tattoos and a Golden Carrot. Make your way to the stairs that brought you down here, descend some more on the right and in the house on the right is a weapons dealer, check his inventory to see if you want any of his goods. Leave this place and head down a couple of flights of stairs and go into the house on the right, search in here for a Fire Assassin Shirt and a couple more tattoos, damn we found a lot of tatts, too bad they all suck. Go into the Clothing Shop and check the inventory to see if there's anything you want. A woman's wig? What in the hell are we supposed to do with this? I can hear that Kodiak's stomach growling in its den...he's getting hungry. There's a Tavern next to the Clothing Shop, go in there and talk to the game dealer. This is the Coin Golf Game and if you can win in ten strokes or less you'll get a SCYTHE HERO DOLL. This is one of the easier bar games so it shouldn't present much of a challenge. It's WAY easier than the golf game in Oakvale. Now head to the gold blinking dot and go back into Archon's Shrine. Walk towards the gold dot and some enemies we've never seen before will pop up, some Blue Balverines and some Wraiths. They are tougher than the enemies in the south but what can effectively be used against enemies that live in an Arctic climate? Hmmm, let me think, gee, uh, I don't know, FIRE maybe. I must be really stupid 'cause it took me ten minutes to think up a startagy to deal with this new threat. Back to the NES I go, I think I'm way out of my league here, Castlevania and the first Final Fantasy are more my speed. Continue along to the gold dot to re-enter the Northern Foothills. Head to the gold dot to enter that door that was previously locked to enter Necropolis and watch the cut scene. Straight ahead and to the left are three graves with a goldish hew glowing over them. In this graveyard are a whole bunch of graves that must be dug up which will be indicated by green dots on the map. In here you are looking for MOYRK'S, CARLAN'S, YERON'S, and AVISTRO'S TABLETS. I'd tell you which graves to dig in but they appear randomly so I can't. When you find one of the right tablets it will crumble in your hands but not before you learn its inscription. There are a lot of false tablets in here that will summon a bunch of enemies so be on guard. Along the way look for a treasure chest housing an AGES OF SKILL POTION. The Demon Door in here requires you to give it ALL of your silver keys. Wait until you open up all of the Silver Key Treasure Chests, look them up in section 20 of this guide. After you open them all then give the keys to this Demon Door because you will have no more use for them. Behind the door you will find THE BEREAVER, the most powerful weapon in the game but it is unfortunately a greatsword so it is slow to swing. Look into the water just before the Demon Door, drop your fishing line into the bubbles to catch SILVER KEY #30. Also look for Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires twenty five keys to open just over the bridge on the right, open it for ARCHON'S BATTLE HELMET, ARCHON'S BATTLE CHEST PIECE, ARCHON'S BATTLE GAUNTLETS, ARCHON'S BATTLE LEGGINGS, and ARCHON'S BATTLE BOOTS and equip these immediately for it is the best suit of armor in the game. I hope you weren't a dumb ass and gave all of your keys to the Demon Door a minute ago. Look for a treasure chest around this area for a MANA AUGMENTATION JEWEL by the bridge, there's also a treasure chest atop some stairs with an AGES OF MIGHT POTION in it. Continue towards the last green dot and another Ice Troll will pop up, melt the bastard and then look next to the crypt to see a skeleton, grab the AGES OF WILL POTION next to it. Go to the last green dot to trigger a cut scene, when it's over kill the two Summoners and Minions to trigger another cut scene and you'll receive AVISTRO'S TABLET to complete this quest. You'll be rewarded a SUMMONER'S GAUNTLET TROPHY along with at least 4,000 Renown Points. Teleport back to Snowspire and go see Scythe to awake the Oracle and watch another cut scene. Can you believe this crap? How origional is this? Almost every expansion to an RPG has this bullshit beat the final boss AGAIN crap in it. Piss poor "cliche" game designing. Believe me when I say that RPG fans are sick of this, the Neverwinter Nights expansions didn't pull this lame ass move because those game designers are full of fresh and origional ideas and most likely didn't graduate from their local community college. If they make another Fable is the Jack of Blades going to be in it again? Turn this franchise into a Link vs. Gannon fifteen games in a row? You can interact with the Oracle if you want, follow the on- screen instructions. Now we have to go get the souls of some heroes' so let's go. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE SOULS OF HEROES' ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - THUNDER'S SOUL - THE ARENA'S SOUL - BRIAR ROSE'S SOUL - YOUR MOTHER'S SOUL - THE GUILDMASTER'S SOUL - NOSTRO'S SOUL - ARCHON'S CIRCLE TROPHY From Snowspire Village head back into Archon's Shrine to watch another cut scene with Briar Rose to learn what needs to be done if you are to open up the way. Teleport to Knothole Glade to have another enlightning encounter with Thunder. Did you notice how the Chief of Knothole Glade said that they haven't been attacked or KIDNAPPED by anything recently? Did we not just rescue his son in the last side quest because he was KIDNAPPED and being held for a ransom? See what I mean, a lot of little things in this game just don't add up. PISS POOR GAME DESIGNING! Hey, what do you expect from Microsofties? You only need three souls to complete this quest and there are a total of six, three for the good characters and three for the evil characters. For this quest I will alternate the paragraphs. This paragraph is for evil characters, the next one is for good characters, and so on. For evil characters kill this douchebag to obtain THUNDER'S SOUL and at least 1,000 Renown Points. If you do decide to kill Thunder and fought him in a previous side quest nothing changes here, he still uses his same basic startagy so just run away from him when he does his lightning attack. When you have defeated him take his soul to Briar Rose in Archon's Shrine to watch another cut scene and find out that the soul worked so go and get the other two. After the cut scene prepare to kill Brair Rose. Go into The Arena and step into the Hall of Heroes' to trigger another cut scene. When it's over kill the two Summoners straight ahead and then go into the door by the gold dot. Wow, that's a lot of dead bodies lying around, that prick the Jack of Blades is goin' down for this! He killed the chic I was gonna marry that fartbag, I'm only kidding, I married that stuck up big breasted blonde Lady Grey and still haven't gotten any. Make sure you grab the potions off of the vendors stand and head into The Arena to watch yet another cut scene. Prepare yourself for one hell of a good old fashioned, balls to the wall, this is f'in nuts, hack and slash, use fifty five will potions, holy shit I'm almost out of resurrection phials, FINALLY a challenging fight kind of battle. For the first round there is going to be a Rock Troll, Earth Troll, and a shit load of Minions surrounding you so put up your Physical Shiled and let the chaos commense. For the second round there will be two Rock Trolls and a bunch of Minions to take out. For the third and fourth rounds you'll have to kill a bunch of Minions and Balverine's, a little break for what lies ahead...For the fifth round you now have to kill a bunch of Minions and a Summoner, this just keeps on getting better and better. For the sixth and final round a second Summoner will get thrown into the mix to make life unmanageable for the time being. When you have won you'll be up an ARENA SOUL as well as at least 500 Renown Points. Go back to Archon's Shrine and meet up with Briar Rose to watch another cut scene and find out that the soul worked so go and get the other two. Teleport to Oakvale. Prepare for another extremely easy battle 'cause Briar Rose, aka Marla, is nothing to fear. She's not as simple to beat down as Whisper but she is really easy to defeat. The first thing she'll do is disappear and spawn a bunch of clones, start chopping them up and then the real Marla will come out to play. Just chop and cast away at her and then she'll disappear and spawn some clones again. Repeat the above process and she'll be dead in no time. When she dies you'll get BRIAR ROSE'S SOUL and at least 1,000 Renown Points. My Renown Status was maxed out a LONG, LONG time ago, so was yours, and I don't know why in the hell there's such an excess of Renown Points lingering around. Watch the cut scene and then teleport to the Heroes' Guild. In Oakvale go to the blinking dot to meet up with your mother in the Memorial Garden and watch the cut scene. Your mother can't rest in peace 'cause this Whack-o-Blades has sent Screamers to torment her. Start slaying the Screamers and you'll notice one that's surrounded by fire, kill it and then it will pop up elsewhere in the cemetary so just follow the gold dot on the mini map. After so many chops it will finally die and you will obtain YOUR MOTHER'S SOUL and at least 500 Renown Points. Now go back to Archon's Shrine and meet up with Marla again and then teleport to the Heroes' Guild. You will come to find out that the Guildmaster has retreated into the Guild Woods and is under protective custody. Go to the woods and you'll get stopped by some guards so kill them and then enter the Guild Woods. Watch the cut scene and prepare for the ultimate of evil and slay the man that has given you life after yours was shattered. First off there are going to be a TON of guards around while you fight the Guildmaster but they should all go down easily, use powerful magic to take them out with ease. You'll see the Guildmaster high above atop a boulder, kill all of the guards around and then the Guildmaster will teleport to the back of the woods where all of the red dots are. Go to the dots, or they may come to you, and slay all of the other guards in this area. When all of the guards have fallen victim to your Infernal Wrath a cut scene will trigger. MY GAME MESSED UP REALLY BAD HERE! The text that should've appeared for the choice presented never popped up in the box so I don't know what was asked to me. Will someone PLEASE e-mail me to let me know what is asked and that if you select yes if you still get the Guildmasters Soul, I didn't feel like doing this damn quest over just to find out what happens if you say yes. I already had to do this quest twice just to write this so I'm searching for heroes' souled out and am not doing it again, times a wasting. I just selected no and then a cut scene triggered of my character killing the old bastard traitor style. You're here to kill him anyways so select no. You will obtain the GUILDMASTER'S SOUL and gain at least 1,000 Renown Points. Teleport back Archon's Shrine to complete this quest and receive ARCHON'S CIRCLE TROPHY and at least 8,000 gold and 100 Renown Points. Head through the bronze gate for the final showdown with the Jack of Blades. In the Heroes' Guild watch the cut scene and then teleport to the Lychfield Graveyard for that is where the next soul for good characters is. Approach the Demon Door that was unlocked long ago and speak to the Guard, then go through the door to enter the Old Graveyard Path. Make your way down the path slaying a ton of skeletons and other foes and go into the Circle of the Dead. After the cut scene you'll get to slay Nostro, too bad we've found all of his battle gear and gave it to him like a dumb ass. He is not a tough opponent so don't worry, he acts just like one of those giant Undead Captains so bringing this fool down will be a laughing matter. When he dies you'll obtain NOSTRO'S SOUL and at least 500 Renown Points. My Renown Status was maxed out a LONG, LONG time ago, so was yours, and I don't know why in the hell there's such an excess of Renown Points lingering around. Head back to Archon's Shrine to watch some more cut scenes and the way will finally be open. For this quest you'll receive ARCHON'S CIRCLE TROPHY and at least 8,000 gold and 100 Renown Points. Head through the bronze gate for the final showdown with the Jack of Blades. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ MAIN QUEST: THE FINAL BATTLE ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> --ITEMS TO AQUIRE: - Zilch, zero, nadda After another cut scene you'll find out that the Jack of Blades is now a Dragon. Oh no, we're gonna die! Not today. When the battle begins put up your Physical Shield (one hit and your mana will be empty so I hope you have a bunch of will potions) and use your Slow Time spell to you know, slow down Jack. Note that this is how I prefer to take him out, experiment with all of your spells to see what works better for you. For a final boss he's as easy to beat as the last time you fought him so have no fear. Start whacking him in the head and then he'll fly away and summon some enemies, he'll also be spitting fire at you so watch out. Kill the enemies and after ten seconds or so Jack will land so run up and whack him in the head some more. He'll fly away again and summon more enemies, wait till he lands and go bash his head in some more. Repeat this process three or four times and Jack will be left dead and bleeding in the moonlight and you'll be the greatest Hero ever in all of Albion! Can I get my cookie now? Was this the easiest boss in the world or what? The giant turtle in Mario 64 was harder than this Jack ass of Blades. Anyways, you'll have a choice to destroy Jack's Mask. Toss the mask away if you're a goody two shoes, or just stand there until the voices stop to wear the mask if you're evil. When you make your choice this quest will end and you'll receive 4,000 Renown Points and 20,000 gold. What's your prize for beating this game? NOT A DAMN THING! No new weapon to wield, no new armor to wear, not even a trophy. You can play through the game again but who in the hell would want to? Now you get to watch an extremely bad ending, one of the worst ones I have ever seen. After watching this horrible ending I'm feeling nauseous and have to use the bathroom so I can puke up my dinner so please excuse me... --------- ~ OUTRO ~ --------- ...so this is the end of Fable: The Lost Chapters. I thought that it was a really good game and enjoyed it up until the point I came up with the dumb ass idea of writing a guide for it. To be honest I can't stand this game anymore and vow to NEVER play it again. So did I do a good job of walking you through this game and not spoiling the story? Did I keep you entertained and not bored like so many other walkthroughs out there do? Did you find something that I missed? Have you found any secret areas? Any tips you want to send me so I can add them to this guide? Did I screw up somewhere? If so then e-mail me and let me know, I will of course credit you for any information you provide that I use in this guide. ................................................................... ------------------- * 18) SIDE QUESTS * ------------------- I decided to make a seperate section for the side quests simply because not everyone who reads this is going to use my guide for the whole game. If you are one of these people and went online for a quick reference as to how to complete a certain side quest and don't want to scroll through the ridiculously long walkthrough section looking for the one side quest you need help in, here you go. I know some people out there will appreciate this and for those of you who do you're welcome, I hope I saved you some time and aggrevation. Most of the quests in this section are copy and pasted from my walkthrough so if you've read that side quest above don't think it's different down here looking for an item you already have so don't waste your time. I will not be listing an "Items to Aquire" in the beginning of the quests in this section. ---------------- ~ BEARDY BALDY ~ ---------------- In Bowerstone Quay head down towards the water to meet a dorky guy who wants you to meet his daughter but first you must get your hair styled the way she likes it. This quest is downright stupid if you ask me, who's the moron game designer who thought this one up? Just think, this person was allowed to graduate college and couldn't conjure up a better idea than this. Talk to the dorky guy and he'll send you to the Barber Shop three times to get styled, when it's over the joke will be on you and you'll get a Fire Monkey Tattoo, 100 Renown Points, 100 gold pieces, and 100 experience points. Now pound the living shit out of this asshole for making you do the run around and return to the Barber and get styled more to your, and everyone elses, liking. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------ ~ THE SICK CHILD ~ ------------------ This quest takes some time to complete. When you first enter Bowerstone South you'll notice a little girl highlighted in green following you around. Talk to her and then follow her to her mother who will ask you if you can heal her son who is very ill. To do so you'll have to find four Blue Mushrooms and then take them to the Witch in Bowerstone Quay so she can brew up the antidote. The first Blue Mushroom is in the Heroes' Guild in the water by the Demon Door. You'll see some bubbles in the water, drop your fishing line in there to snag the shroom. The second Blue Mushroom is in the Picnic Area. You'll see a woman on the left, go talk to her to find out that she's tripping off of the magic shrooms and if you can make her laugh she'll give you one. You should have the expression "Kiss my ass" use it on her to make her laugh, do it again and the shroom is yours. There are probably other expressions you can use to make her laugh but this was the only one I tried. The third Blue Mushroom is in the Barrow Fields. After you complete the main quest Trader Escort you'll see a vendor standing in front of you, talk to him and by the shroom for 1,500 gold. The last Blue Mushroom is in the Guild Woods but you need to go to Oakvale first. In Oakvale near the Memorial Garden is a woman standing next to a well, talk to her and she'll ask you to track down Cyril in the Guild Woods. Go talk to Cyril and he will give you a letter for the chic by the well. Take the letter to her and she'll then give you one in return to take to Cyril. Take him the letter to get the last Blue Mushroom. If you choose to lie to the woman and Cyril you'll still receive the shroom. Head into Bowerstone Quay and give the shrooms to the Witch who will then brew up the anidote. Give the potion to the mother to complete this side quest to be rewarded NOTHING but some Renown Points and a small amount of gold. Cheap bastards. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------- ~ BOOK COLLECTION ~ ------------------- Another quest that will take you some time to complete. Talk to the school teacher in Bowerstone South and he'll ask you to donate some books for the children because the greedy Mayor Lady Grey has cut the school budget. Sounds like the Mayor of my city. To complete this quest you will have to donate twenty five books. After you donate nine books you'll receive a Bright Wizard's Cap, donate all twenty five books to obtain a Silver Key. The first fourteen books are in the Heroes' Guild. BOOK #1: A Love Story is in the Main Dorm of the Guild on the second floor, BOOK #2: A Tale of Maxely is also up here. Go into the Guild Library to find BOOK #3: The Pale Balverine, BOOK #4: The Other Land, BOOK #5: Creatures of Albion Book II, BOOK #6: The Old Kingdom, BOOK #7: The Northern Wastes, BOOK #8: The Tale of Twinblade, BOOK #9: The Dragons, BOOK #10: Creatures of Albion Book I, BOOK #11: The Arena, and finally BOOK #12: Creatures of Albion Book III. Go into Maze's Tower and search the second floor bookshelf for BOOK #13: Jack of Blades. BOOK #14: Making Friends is behind the Demon Door on the table. In Bowerstone South you will find six more books. Enter the town through Lookout Point and go into the first house on the right, go upstairs and take BOOK #15: Windbreaker Rulebook off of the bookshelf. Across the street in the Clothing Shop is BOOK #16: The Repentant Alchemist on the second floor on a bookshelf. BOOK #17: The Eyes of a Killer is on a bookshelf in the house nextdoor to the Barber Shop on the right. Go into the house on the left of the entrance into Bowerstone Quay to find two more books, BOOK #18: The Guild of Zeroes and BOOK #19: You Are Not a Bad Person. The last book in this town is just up the road of the Blacksmith in some barrels on the left, smash them for BOOK #20: The Sock Method. The next three books are in Oakvale. In the house nextdoor of where you saw the guy commiting adultery in the beginning of the game is BOOK #21: The Trials of Aarkan. Search the houses around the area where Myra is by the well to find BOOK #22: The Oakvale Raid and BOOK #23: The Ugly Guide. BOOK #24: The Balverine Slayer is in Knothole Glade inside one of the huts. And finally BOOK #25: The Tailor's Tragedy is in Bowerstone North in the first house on the right. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------- ~ COLLECT THE HERO DOLLS ~ -------------------------- After you obtain two Hero Dolls in your inventory go into Bowerstone South. A little boy will come up to you and ask if you can donate some dolls to the school. If you do not have at least *TWO* Hero Dolls in your inventory then this quest will *NOT* become available so please, no e-mail's on this matter. To get these little rag dolls you're going to have to play a lot of bar games, and some of them will prove to be quite a challenge. When you donate seven Hero Dolls to the school teacher you'll receive one of the Jack of Blades. You have to have *ALL* seven dolls in your inventory before you can donate them to the teacher. Here's where the dolls are and how to obtain them: BRIAR ROSE: Play the memory game in the Bowerstone South Tavern and beat it in LESS than 28 seconds. Good luck on this one. The best thing I can suggest is playing this game in the morning when your brain is at its sharpest and not yet full of THC. WHISPER: At the Tavern in Oakvale play the coin golf game and if you can win in NINE strokes or less this doll is yours. Easier said than done. TWINBLADE: Play the memory game in Twinblade's Camp and beat it in LESS than twenty seconds, way too easy. SCARLET ROBE: In Knothole Glade play the card order game in the bar/hut and beat it in LESS than twenty seconds. Quite a challenge this one will prove to be. THUNDER: Just simply buy it from a vendor while waiting to enter The Arena. The price will vary depending upon your Guile Skill, it's only around 250 gold so at least it's not ridiculously expensive. YOURSELF: Kill the Assassin in Knothole Glade (or numerous other locations) to get this. When you hear the Guildmaster tell you that a group of Assassins are avenging Twinblade's defeat then the Assassin will appear somewhere in your vicinity. You will run into him sooner or later so don't panic if he doesn't show up immediately. MAZE: Play the penny game in the Hook Coast Tavern and score THIRTY or higher. SCYTHE: In the Snowspire Village Tavern play the coin golf game and win in TEN strokes or less. This golf game is much easier to win at then the one in Oakvale. ___________________________________________________________________ ----------------------- ~ FISHING COMPETITION ~ ----------------------- Go into Fisher's Creek and kill the wasps around the area and a guy will come out of his cabin and thank you, he will give you a FISHING ROD and a free entry to the tournament he's holding. First you must learn how to fish. Go onto the far left side of the cabin to find a treasure chest with Leather Gauntlets in them. You'll see bubbles in the water next to the chest, go and put your line in the water over the bubbles and wait a few seconds to snag a fish, start reeling it in by left clicking the mouse really fast. Stop clicking the mouse when the fish runs with the line or it will snap, this may take you some practice. After you snag the fish you'll notice three more sets of bubbles in the water, fish out what causing them for a SILVER KEY, 100 gold pieces, and a Moustache Card. Go back towards the cabin and walk out onto the little dock, you'll see more bubbles on the left so drop a line in to catch a GOLDEN FISH TROPHY. Leave this area back into Greatwood and then come right back in here. You'll now see two guys sitting on a bench to the right, go and talk to the tournament host to enter the competition. This is an easy contest and I'm sure you'll have no problems winning these next three items. Simply keep on cathing fish until you win, you'll probably win all three items with the first fish you have weighed, that's how easy this joke of a tournament is. I have no idea what the weight of the fishes have to be to win these prizes because I won them all with the first fish I caught. Your rewards for winning the tournament are a FISHERMAN'S HAT, THE ROD OF CHAMPIONS, and a SILVER KEY, along with some gold pieces and Renown Points. In the house is a BOOK: A Hero's Journey I on the bookshelf so take it. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------- ~ HOBBES KILLING CONTEST ~ -------------------------- This side quest takes place on the Orchard Farm after you do the main quest for it. All you have to do is kill more Hobbes than Whisper. Run towards the red dots on the map and begin slaughtering as many Hobbes as you can, you have 3:30 to beat Whispers kill count. To be a real dick wait until Whisper beats the Hobbes down and then move in to steal her kills, she'll get pissed but doesn't do anything about it. Take note that her spells can harm you if you get in their way and she doesn't intentionally cast them at you. After you win (if you lost then you can try again) you'll get a HOBBE TOOTH TROPHY, 900 gold pieces, and 200 Renown Points as well as some experience points. If your combat skills were sufficiant enough you'll also receive a bunch of extra renown, gold, and experience points. Enter the farmhouse and search the bookshelf for a BOOK: The Rotten Apple. ___________________________________________________________________ --------------- ~ BANDIT TOLL ~ --------------- The absolute dumbest side quest in the game. How is this shit considered a quest anyways? In Greatwood Gorge you'll run into a Bandit that is demanding 400 gold if you are to pass. If you're a sucker then pay him, if you don't want to pay him then kill 'em and all of the other Bandits lurking around. Quest complete. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------- ~ HOBBE CAVE ~ -------------- Go into Rose Cottage and open up the door on the house to trigger a cut scene. Now we have to go and rescue this old ladies grandson who is being held captive by the Hobbes. Go to the Greatwood Caves, you'll see some vines on the right so chop them down and run into the Hobbe Cave. Straight ahead is a door, go through it and you'll see a guy trapped in a cage, kill all of the Hobbes and then you can hire this man to fight by your side if you please. I hope your character still isn't a weakling and you have a decent melee weapon because these Hobbes are brutal opponents, especially when they surround you. The Force Push and Infernal Wrath spells are very helpful in this balls to the wall, hack and slash, holy shit I'm almost dead, why did you lead me in here you asshole kind of cave. Leave this room and go right to get surrounded by another gang of Hobbes, cut them all down and go into the door on the left. In here kill some more Hobbes (use the exploding barrel in the left corner to your advantage) and you'll see another Silver Key Treasure Chest that requires five keys to open, open it up for a WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR. Exit this room and head towards the silver dot and go through another door to enter the main chamber. When the slaughter fest is over you'll see two treasure chests, open them up for 500 gold in each and another FLAME AUGMENTATION JEWEL. Open the door that requires the Hexagon Key to do so and head through the moonlit tunnel and go through the door at the end. Head down the stairs into an underground lake and you'll see the little boy that is being held captive. When the cut scene ends a Nymph will tell you she'll let the boy go if you bring her another person to replace him. If that guy is with you, well, it sucks to be him. I say screw this Nympho and kill her but as you know this game is all about choices so make yours, the good choice is to kill her, the evil choice is to trade just so you're not confused as to which moral decision to make for your characters alignment. If you do decide to kill her she will summon enemies so don't dilly-dally and kill this chic quickly, fireballs work wonders on her, so do multi-arrows. When she's dead, or you traded that douchebag for the boy, the child will be free. Look around for a circle of red mushrooms and dig in the middle of them with your spade for a SILVER KEY. Now you must protect the boy while you bring him all the way back to his grandmother in Rose Cottage, I hope you have the Heal Life Spell. The Hobbes will be primarily focused on you but a few strays will attack the child so have him wait in a safe area while you dispose of all the fat little freaks lurking around. If the boy dies then you'll have to try this quest over again until you succeed. When you return the child to his grandmother you will be rewarded a HOBBE HEAD TROPHY, 400 Renown Points, and 5,500 gold pieces, again the ammount of experience, extra gold, and extra renown are based upon your combat skills and moral choice. Go into the cottage to find a BOOK: A Hero's Journey II on the bookshelf. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------- ~ CHAPEL OF SKORM ~ ------------------- This side quest is for evil characters so don't do this one if you're a good guy. The Chapel is located off of the Darkwood Camp. This quest will require you to bring people here and then offer them up for a human sacrifice. Bring a few people here and offer them up for sacrifice at midnight. When you've donated a couple of unfortunate souls you will receive the Crossbow of Skorm, the most powerful bow in the game. I thank Erik Pirmann (he was the first to let me know, about 15 people e-mailed me) for letting me know what item you'll get. Sacrifice some more people and you'll receive the Hero Title of Necromancer. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------- ~ TREASURE OF THE GHOST PIRATE ~ -------------------------------- In Oakvale head to the dead end in the bottom far right corner of the map and you'll run into a guy who holds a Chicken Kicking game down on the beach but first you must get rid of a ghost for him. Go down to the green dot on the beach and talk to a ghost and he needs help, your choice. He says he has buried some treasure on the beach and if you find it if you can give it to his wife. Go into the hut on the right and open up the treasure chest for an Oak Crossbow. Head back to the other beach and face the dock, dig on the left of it by the pillars under the gazeebo to find 500 gold, bring it to his widow by the entrance to Cliffside Path and she will be grateful. Now return to the ghost and he'll tell you that he has buried some treasure in the Memorial Garden. Go in there and you'll see a large statue of a warrior swinging an axe. Dig under the axe to find the Pirates buried booty, a SILVER KEY and an Obsidian Greataxe to complete this side quest for 100 Renown Points and 150 gold. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------- ~ CHICKEN KICKING COMPETITION ~ ------------------------------- This takes place on the beach in Oakvale where you got rid of the ghost. Before talking to the host of this fine competition take off all of your clothes so you aren't encumbered by the big bulky armor you're probably wearing. Now enter the competition. If you're at least level four in all of your strength upgrades then this will be a walk in the park, if you're maxed out in that catagory then kick the chicken lightly or you'll boot it right off the end of the dock into the water. Follow the on-screen instructions and strat kicking the chicken. Wait until the chicken is to the far left or right and is FACING the white line, then RUN up to it and boot it diagonally, hopefully it'll land on the 100 point marker. This game will take you some practice but at 50 gold pieces per game you had better get the hang of it quickly. When you have won the competition you will be rewarded a CHICKEN HAT and a SILVER KEY. Get a perfect score of 500 and you'll receive the CHICKEN KICKING TROPHY. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------- ~ TRADER RESCUE/MASSACRE ~ -------------------------- If you're rotten to the core and are down for the slaughter and want to massacre a bunch of innocents, teleport to Barrow Fields and waste everyone to achieve this short quest and be rewarded at least 5,000 gold as well as 400 Renown Points. If you want to be a good ole boy and rescue some traders this quest will be a little longer and more difficult to achieve. Or you can choose to do them both. For the rescue quest transport to Twinblade's Camp and watch the cut scene. When it's over head towards the upper green dot to meet a trader, talk to him and he will follow you into Twinblade's Elite Camp. Go to the green dots and rescue the last two traders and head back to the previous area, protect the traders and exit Twinblade's Camp to the Abandonded Road to complete this side quest. You will be rewarded at least 5,000 gold and 400 Renown Points. ___________________________________________________________________ ----------------------- ~ MURDER WITH A TWIST ~ ----------------------- This side quest will be available after you defeat Twinblade. Teleport to Oakvale and go onto the side of the house where that guy was commiting adultery in the beginning of the game, talk to the Guard and he'll ask you to go back into Twinblade's Camp to kill an Assassin. Head into Twinblade's Camp and go into the Elite campsite, then go into Twinblade's Tent. Head to the green dot and talk to the Assassin, he'll give you some bogus story about how the guards are out to get him, whaa, whaa, whaa. Unsheathe your sword and he'll then offer to double the reward that guard put on his head if you'll spare his life and kill the guard. Do so if you're of evil morals, kill the bastard and his two weakling sidekicks if you're a character of good morals. If you kill the Assassin then you'll receive the ASSASSIN'S CONTRACT, return to the Guard and take the reward. If you've sided with the Assassin then go and whack the Guard, you've already been paid in full. Or take the Assassin's money and then kill him, then go and take the reward money from the guard to be up two grand. ___________________________________________________________________ ----------------------- ~ THE TEMPLE OF LIGHT ~ ----------------------- This side quest is for the good characters so don't do this one if you're evil. While on the White Balverine main quest you'll come across the Temple of Avo. Go and talk to the priests, or whatever they call themselves, and of course they want money from you, what a shock. Donate 50,000 gold to receive THE SENTINUS, the most powerful Greatmace in the game. YOU MUST DONATE A MINIMUM OF 50,000 GOLD AT ONE TIME TO GET THIS WEAPON, If you donate 1,000 gold here and 2,000 gold there you will *NOT* receive this weapon. Donate 100,000 gold (doesn't have to be all at once) to receive a new Hero Title of Paladin. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------- ~ THE SWORD IN THE STONE ~ -------------------------- I never ran across this in an adventure game before, how origional. I can't believe the game designers had the audacity to go so cliche on this side quest but yep, they did. In the Temple of Avo you'll see a bunch of green dots, go up to them and you'll see a bunch of village idiots trying to pull a sword out of a boulder. To pull it out simply max out your strength upgrades to receive the Master Sword, oh, Excalibur, sorry, I mean THE HARBRINGER, I got confused. This sword absolutely sucks so you don't want to waste your time with this side quest. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------- ~ THE LOST TRADER ~ ------------------- This side quest will become available after you become a champion in The Arena. Go into Oakvale and head up the Clifftop Path and make your way to the Abandoned Road. You'll run into a trader who has lost his brother and he needs you to find him. Follow him to an enemy and he'll stop, take care of this minor threat and the trader will wait where he is, continue along to the end of the road to see the traders lost brother. Go and talk to him and protect him all the way back to the beginning of the road to be reunited with his brother and receive TREASURE CLUE #2 and at least 2,600 gold and 150 Renown Points. Was this easy enough for you? ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------- ~ BREAK THE SIEGE ~ ------------------- After you win in The Arena this quest will become available. This quest is for the goody guys, if there is an evil way to complete it I don't know what it is. Teleport to the Knothole Glade Cullis Gate to watch a cut scene, a Bandit wants you to free their leader. When the cut scenes end talk to the Guard so he can open up the gates, then start killing all of the Bandits outside. Some of them may get into the town and head towards their leader, DO NOT KILL THEIR LEADER WHICH IS INDICATED BY A BIG SILVER DOT or this quest will fail! Quite simple this quest will prove to be. You'll receive at least 450 Renown Points and 5,000 gold for this quest. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------------- ~ ASSASSIN ATTACKS ~ -------------------- This side quest will become available after you do the Break the Seige side quest. As soon as you finish the Seige quest you'll hear the Guildmaster tell you that a group of Assassins are after you to avenge Twinblade's defeat. Stick around Knothole Glade to see a red dot appear at the end of the thin path across from the Demon Door, go kill the Assassin to obtain a HERO DOLL: YOURSELF. The other Assassins appear at numerous locations. The second Assassin is in Windmill Hill and he doesn't leave behind a gift when you kill him. The third Assassin is on the Prison Path and will leave behind a BOOK: The Eyes of a Killer. The last Assassin appears anywhere, he appears in a random area and you'll receive another TREASURE CLUE #3. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------- ~ GRANNY GHOST NECKLACE ~ ------------------------- In the Orchard Farm go to the green dot and talk to Isaih the farmer. He will then ask you if you can go and see if the ghost of his mother is by her grave. Go to the grave on the side of the house to meet the ghost and hear her story of how a Bandit killed her and took her necklace. Go into Greatwood Lake and head for the sole red dot and kill the Bandit to obtain the DEAD LADY'S HEIRLOOM. Bring the necklace back to Isaih in the Orchard Farm to be rewarded 500 gold pieces and some Renown Points. Whoopty-doo. ___________________________________________________________________ --------------------------- ~ INVESTIGATING THE MAYOR ~ --------------------------- Now that are a very well renowned champion after whipping some ass in the arena you may enter Bowerstone North, do so and watch the cut scene. From where you entered the Bowerstone North go into the first house on the right and take a BOOK: The Tailor's Tragedy off of the bookshelf, go upstairs and open up the treasure chest for 500 gold. DO NOT TALK TO LADY GREY YET! Go into the house across the street from the shop and look on a bookshelf upstairs for a BOOK: The Trigamist. Go to the green dot on the map next to the flashing gold one and talk to a prisoner, he'll tell you he was framed and if you could help prove his innocence. Kind of a far fetched story but hey, you can help the guy invesigate a true Scooby-Doo mystery if you want. If you choose to take this side quest then warp to the Barrow Fields. Go to the green dot by the Demon Door and talk to Amanda's grieving lover. Listen to the guys sob story and then go to the Grey House area. As soon as you enter you'll see stables on the right, go in them and turn your lamp on and off three times and you'll see a ghost appear and unlock the cellar doors, go into the cellar. Watch the cut scene and you'll see a letter by the skeleton, SCRAWLED PARCHMENT. If you pick the letter up Lady Grey will appear and offer you her hand in marriage and to cover up her bad deed, if you're already married to her then listen to what this cold hearted bitch has to say. You can also marry her in the next side quest so just tell her no for now. So if you want to gain a Silver Key in the next side quest then *DO NOT* pick up the scrawled parchment. Open up the chest in here for a WILL MASTER'S ELIXIR. Do the next side quest and then return here for the letter. Go back to Bowerstone North and take the note to the Sherrif by the main gates to complete this side quest and you will be offered to become the new Mayor. Accept or decline, your choice. If you're married to Lady Grey then you *WILL NOT* be able to become Mayor so please, no e-mail's on this matter. If you accept to become Mayor then after the cut scene go into your new home, formerly Lady Grey's. Run straight ahead and enter Lady Grey's bedroom, search the bed to find a SILVER KEY, open up Silver Key Treasure Chest, which requires fifteen keys, to find a really good melee weapon, THE KATANA HIRYU. If you do become Mayor then watch how the people around town react to you, it's kind of funny. ___________________________________________________________________ ---------------------- ~ MAYOR'S INVITATION ~ ---------------------- In Bowerstone North go straight ahead to see Lady Grey standing in front of her fountain, talk to her and she demands a gift from you. Talk about being stuck on herself, huh? Anyways go into the shop that is yellow on the map and buy her a Black Rose, then go and give it to her. She will then talk about marriage and all this other stuff. If you want to marry her then go and buy a home somewhere and then return to her. Now you have to find this chics necklace that she has somehow lost, great, talk about finding a needle in a haystack. Talk to the people you run into and then talk to a guy in the shop and he'll tell you that he heard the necklace was somewhere in Oakvale. Teleport to Oakvale and head towards the blinking silver dot to enter the Memorial Garden. You'll see two guys to your immediate left, go behind them and sneak up to the wall seperating you from them to hear them say "they buried it on the beach between two boats." Leave the garden and go down onto the beach near Clifftop Path, you'll see two boats on the beach upside down, dig between them to find LADY GREY'S NECKLACE. Take the necklace back to Lady Grey and she will then want you to fight Thunder, Whisper's brother in case you haven't been paying attention to the main story. Head towards the silver blinking dot to enter Bowerstone Jail and watch the cut scene. Head towards the silver dot to enter Windmill Hill. Just head straight to the silver dot and ignore all of the enemies and enter the Gibbet Woods. Again ignore all enemies and items (we're coming back this way in the next main quest) and enter Headman's Hill. Watch the cut scene and then beat Thunder's ass, simple. This guy is nothing to fear so have none. When you see him start a lightning attack just run away from him until the electricity stops, then run up to him and attack again, repeat this process to rid yourself of this menace. When you have beat him down half way he will push you, and himself, off of a cliff and you'll land near a Demon Door, beat Thunder down some more and he will retreat into a cave, that pussie! Drop your fishing line into the bubbley water next to you to snag a SILVER KEY. Head through the cave on the left for the final showdown and beat Thunder. When he is defeated you'll get THUNDER'S HELMET TROPHY, open up the Silver Key Treasure Chest, which requires fifteen keys, to find a MANA AUGMENTATION JEWEL, whoo-hoo! Thunder doesn't die, he just retreats elsewhere and goes into hiding with his tail between his legs. Pride's a mother you know what. Return to the Demon Door and it will open for you, now return to Lady Grey and take her hand in marriage if you want, you don't have to. After the cut scenes go into Lady Grey's Estate, run straight ahead into the bedroom and look on the bed for a SILVER KEY, open up Silver Key Treasure Chest, which requires fifteen keys, to find a really good melee weapon, THE KATANA HIRYU. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------ ~ EXECUTION TREE ~ ------------------ This side quest will become available after you do the main quest Rescue the Archeologist. Depending on your alignment take the quest geared for your character. Go to Bowerstone North and head into Bowerstone Jail for this quest to begin. If you're good then you have to stop the Bandits from freeing a prisoner on his way to the chopping block. Two guards will be escorting a prisoner, stay close to them as you make your way towards Windmill Hill and kill the Bandits that appear. Continue through Windmill Hill and protect the guards all the way through to the Gibbet Woods, while fighting be sure the prisoner doesn't escape. In here is more of the same, just keep on killing and protecting all the way through these woods and into Headsman Hill. Bring the prisoner to the Executioner to end this quest for at least 4,500 gold and 200 Renown Points. If you're evil then all you have to do is kill all of the guards before they execute this schmuck. Run through Bowerstone Jail with some Bandits and kill the group of guards then continue into Windmill Hill. Again run through this area protecting your fellow Bandits (their survival is not required to complete the quest) and wasting guards into the Gibbet Woods. Make your way to Headsman Hill and rescue the poor guy about to be decapitated to complete this quest for at least 4,500 gold and 200 Renown Points. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------ ~ DARKWOOD DISTURBANCE ~ ------------------------ This will become available after the main quest the Graveyard Path. Teleport yourself to the Greatwood Cullis Gate and make your way into Darkwood. Run through the marshes and head into Darkwood Lake to watch a cut scene. Now you have to cover Briar Rose's back while she tries to activate a shrine, does she not remind you of Marla form that movie "Fight Club?" Follow this woman and a bunch of Minions will pop up and try to kill her so kill them before this happens. After you kill them all follow Briar to the shrine and protect her while she activates it. I hope by now that you've aquired the Heal Life Spell 'cause you're going to need it, these Minions aren't messing around and will kick the crap out of Marla in a matter of seconds so stay close to her and heal her when she needs it. When the shrine gets activated this side quest will be over and you'll receive at least 100 Renown Points and 3,500 gold. ___________________________________________________________________ --------------- ~ BOUNTY HUNT ~ --------------- This side quest will be available after the Graveyard Path main quest. This will be yet another extremely side quest to add to your vast collection of easy ass quests, and this isn't a bounty hunt just to let you know, it's a rescue mission plain and simple. Exit the Guild into Lookout Point and make your way to Greatwood, a woman will run up and tell you that some Bandits have taken some town people hostage. Go into Greatwood and make your way towards the silver dot to enter Fisher's Creek. Kill all of the enemies in here and rescue some helpless guy, he will ask you to go and free his daughter. Go back into Greatwood and make your way to Greatwood Lake. The guys daughter is up the hill on the right, kill all of the Bandits charging you and then kill the Bandit Captain guarding the damsel in distress with a head shot with an arrow. Kill the remaining enemies to complete this side quest and receive TREASURE CLUE #1, and at least 5,400 gold and 400 Renown Points. ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------- ~ BANDIT SPY EXTRACTION ~ ------------------------- This side quest becomes available after you do the main quest Prison Escape. This quest is geared towards evil characters, if there is a good way to do it I don't know what it is. Teleport to Bowerstone South and head into Bowerstone North. Head to the moving green dot by the entrance to Bowerstone Jail and talk to Tanya to find out what's going on. When the cut scene is over you may hire some Bandits to help your for 100 gold a piece. Head up the road and waste some guards and then go into Windmill Hill. Up ahead you'll see two traders getting escorted by some guards, take notice of the three green dots at the top of the map, head to them and talk to the trader highlighted in green, they may have gone into the Gibbet Woods if you were screwing around. Now just simply escort this trader all the way back to Bowerstone North, if you happen to fail then you'll have to talk to Tanya to try this side quest again. Make sure you kill all of the other trader's to find a SHARPENING AND LIGHTNING AUGMENTATION JEWEL, and a diamond. For this simple quest you will receive another SHARPENING AUGMENTATION JEWEL, a TRADER HEAD TROPHY, and at least 400 Renown Points and 5,800 gold. ___________________________________________________________________ -------------------- ~ THE HIDDEN SWORD ~ -------------------- This side quest will become available after you defeat the Jack of Blades in his human form. When you leave the Chamber of Fate the Guildmaster suggests that you go check out Maze's Tower to investigate a powerful weapon that is hidden somewhere in the Heroes' Guild. Go to Maze's Tower and up the stairs, look on the bookshelf to read some diary entries to learn about the sword. Head out of the tower and go into the little courtyard and you'll see four graves by a big fountain, read the one that is furthest from the tower to receive AVO'S TEAR. This is a very powerful sword so get it at the ready, it is augmented with health, mana, and experience jewels. If you've kept the Sword of Aeons then you *CANNOT* do this quest for this sword because it will not become available. Again, if you've kept the Sword of Aeons then you *CANNOT* get this sword so please, no e-mail's on this matter. ___________________________________________________________________ --------------------- ~ THE RANSOM VICTIM ~ --------------------- This side quest will also become available after you defeat the Jack of Blades in his human form. Teleport to Knothole Glade and head to the big silver dot on the mini map and talk to the Chief. His son has been kidnapped by Bandits and they'll send the Chief his son's head if he doesn't fork over a ransom. And of course you're the only Hero in all of Albion who has the balls to rescue this kid. Head into Witchwood Lake and make your way down the winding path slaying Balverines and go into the Temple of Avo. Contine to the silver dot and enter Witchwood Stones, contine to the silver dot on the bottom of the map to trigger a cut scene. The Bandits said you could go in to meet with their boss so go through the door to do so, the leader will then demand the ransom from you if the boy is to be freed. If you're a sucker then fork out the gold, if not then simply kill the leader and the boy will be grateful. Now take him all the way back to his father in Knothole Glade (if you're an evil character then deliver the boy to the silver dot at the end of the thin path across from the Demon Door in Knothole Glade), to complete this side quest and you'll receive at least 3,000 gold and 500 Renown Points. ___________________________________________________________________ --------------------- ~ HIDDEN BOOTY HUNT ~ --------------------- AAhh, the booty hunt. Probably the most sought after side quest of them all. I do have to admit that I've found all of the Treasure Clues except number three and I REFUSE to look up where it is from someone elses guide. I don't get down like that, all of the stuff in this guide I found on my own. I know where the treasure is but I can't dig it up to find out what it is 'cause the goddamn game won't let me because one clue is missing. If you've found the clue e-mail me so I can add it in here please, I'll of course credit you for the find. TREASURE CLUE #1: Complete the Bounty Hunt side quest to obtain this clue. TREASURE CLUE #2: Complete the Lost Trader side quest to get this clue. TREASURE CLUE #3: Complete the Assassin Attacks quest and the last Assassin you kill (there are four of them) will drop it. Thanks to Davis Trout for e-mailing me this location. TREASURE CLUE #4: Play the Archery Game in Knothole Glade and score at least a 300 to receive this clue. TREASURE CLUE #5: This is in a treasure chest on the Orchard Farm just to the left of the enterance leading into the orchard itself. TREASURE CLUE #6: This is inside of a tresure chest behind the Windmill in Windmill Hill. THE HIDDEN BOOTY: Is located in the Orchard Farm between the barn and the house. YOU MUST HAVE ALL SIX CLUES in order to dig up the treasure. You're going to laugh your ass off at the hidden treasure, a frying-pan! That kicks serious ass!

Sometimes there will be an Earth Troll for you to kill or sometimes there will be Hobbes running around. This will be a little challenging, at least it was for me. How I got in here was I put up my Physical Shield spell and used my stick to beat the shit out of the troll. Open this door before you get your strength upgrades too high or the troll will die long befor your multiplier get to the desired number.

If you can earn all of these then I give you props and my hat's off to you 'cause some of these games are pretty tough to beat in the time alloted. Here's the name of the dolls and how to earn them: - BRIAR ROSE: Play the memory game in the Bowerstone South Tavern and beat it in 27 seconds or less. Good luck on this one. To aquire this doll the best thing I can suggest is playing this game in the morning when your brain is at its sharpest and not yet full of THC. - WHISPER: At the Tavern in Oakvale play the coin golf game and if you can win in ten strokes or less this doll is yours. Easier said than done. - TWINBLADE: Play the memory game in Twinblade's Camp and beat it in less than twenty seconds, way too easy. - SCARLET ROBE: In Knothole Glade play the card order game in the bar/hut and beat it in less than twenty seconds. Quite a challenge this one will prove to be. Thanks assholes. - THUNDER: Just simply buy it from a vendor while waiting to enter The Arena for only 250 gold pieces. - YOURSELF: Kill the Assassin in Knothole Glade (or numerous other locations) to get this. When you hear the Guildmaster tell you that a group of Assassin's are avenging Twinblade's defeat then an Assassin will appear somewhere in your vicinity. You will run into him sooner or later so don't panic if he doesn't show up immediately. - MAZE: Play the penny game in the Hook Coast Tavern and score thirty or higher. Pain in the ass! - SCYTHE: In the Snowspire Village Tavern play the coin golf game and win in ten strokes or less. This golf game is much easier to win at then the one in Oakvale. - JACK OF BLADES: Donate seven Hero Dolls to the teacher in Bowerstone South to receive this doll. ................................................................... ---------------------------------------------- * 23) CREDITS, E-MAIL RULES, AND LEGAL STUFF * ---------------------------------------------- >>> CREDITS: - Microsoft Game Studios - Lionhead Studios - David Trout for sending me Treasure Clue #3 >>> E-MAIL RULES: [email protected] - DO NOT SOLICITE! I don't care what your crappy product is all about or how cheap you're selling it, I don't want it! - NO CHAIN LETTERS! I will not send them on and if I go bankrupt, get a horrible disesase, an anvil drops on my head, I die, blah, blah, blah, because I don't send the letter on, oh well. I'm not a superstitious fool. - NO FAN CLUB CRAP! I don't care what your geeky little club is all about, I will not join. - NO MONEY MAKING SCHEMES! That means you EXCEL (not Microsoft affiliated for all you who don't know about this scam artist company Excel) and all of you other bullshit scam artists out there. - NO JUNK MAIL! If you write a crappy newsletter, send me political jargon asking for money instead of my vote, ask me to join some pathetic singles website, send news about how Paris maxed out her dramatically life changing 23 day COUNTY jail sentence (or any other kind of celebrity bullshit), or just feel like sending out trash to me DO NOT FEEL FREE TO DO SO! If you do then I'll give you a virus. How does that appeal to your server? - If I don't know or trust you I will not open up any attachements so don't bother to send me any. Even though I state this it's amazing all the idiots out there that still send me attachements. - I don't care what kind of language you use just don't swear directly at me. If you do well then "Fuck you too" in advance because you won't be hearing from me. - If the answer is in the walkthrough you will most likely not get a response from me, maybe a smart ass comment depending on the mood I'm in at the time. I have better things to do than to answer questions that have clearly been answered. Go back to the third grade and take up some Reading Comprehension classes if you feel compelled to e-mail questions such as "What do the numbers on the blue treasure chests mean?," or "How do I open the Demon Door in Greatwood Gorge?," or "Where's the Dollmaster Mace?" For those of you who do feel compelled to e-mail me such dumb ass questions I think it's time you renewed your subscription to Highlights magazine. Barney's on in five minutes so get your ass in front of the television and pay attention. Today you will be learning the ABC's, but only up to the letter D 'cause even Barney knows what a dimwit you are. Hooked on Phonics worked for me, maybe it'll work for you too. - And as long as we're talking about e-mail I'll most likely ignore, please write ledgible e-mail's without all these modern day acronyms all you tennie boppers, and adults who still think you are, IM and text eachother with. I'm old school and aren't hip to all their meanings and don't ever plan on being. - And another thing: I KNOW THERE ARE TYPOS in this guide. I typed it in word pad and if you knew anything at all then you should know that word pad doesn't have spell check, plus I'm only human and thus not perfect. When you type in a million plus characters you're bound to make a bunch of typos. It's amazing all these anal retentive asshole yuppies out there who e-mail me and make a big deal because I didn't use proper puncuation and grammer or spelled a word wrong. Get a life you pathetic morons and get back to eating your Tofu. Let me see you assholes do a better job of writing a game guide. Thought so. Maybe someday I'll notice the typos and fix them, then again maybe I won't just to piss you off! - NO PORN! Some low life porn companies must have gotten my e-mail address from my posted guides because I literally receive HUNDREDS of porn offers a week and I'm getting really sick of it. If you mother fuckers keep on sending me this shit then I will hack into your server and drop the worst virus known to computers into it so don't fuck with me. Your anti-virus software doesn't have jack shit on me for this virus will whipe out your entire operation and I know damn well you deviants don't want that to happen. If you happen to get up and running after my mega virus I'll just drop in another modified one. This process will be repeated until you're reduced to sucking dick in an alley on the side of a bar just to make ends meet. I'm almost to the point of filing a lawsuit against you scumbags for harassment so stop sending me this shit. I don't mean to sound so ignorant here but this is the only language these kind of pukes understand. And no, I'm not one of those anti-porn yuppies. Everyone has their breaking point and these assholes lobbed a brick through my plate glass window. >>> LEGAL STUFF: This document is Copyrighted by Randy Murtha, October 2007 and may not be reproduced in part or in full without the written consent of the author.
