REVISION HISTORY:
- 9/04/04 Version 1.00 – Fourth update – I finished writing the
walkthrough! I still have some reformatting to do so this is a little
more presentable, but I think I have the vast majority of the
information. Thanks again to funkymushroom for telling me where the
final artifact was and for telling me that the artifact type does not
effect the weapon upgrade you receive. I haven’t completely removed all
the references to knife and sword upgrades yet. I’m sorry for the delay
in posting this update. I have had a number of computer problems, which
have prevented me from posting this update in a timely manner.
- 8/31/01 Version 0.60 – Third update – Well, I finally broke the 50-
page mark with this update. Completed the walkthrough up to D’Kor
entering the Smuggler’s Cove. I forgot to mention the Gannell scroll in
the Fort Weyr Library, so I added that to the previous section. For
those of you following my walkthrough to the letter, you’ll have to make
an unscheduled trip to Fort Weyr to read this scroll, sorry about that.
Other than that and the addition of the jump list, all that I added in
this release is additional sections to the walkthrough. Thanks again to
all of you that keep sending email especially funkymushroom for your
update.
- 8/30/01 Version .45 – Second update – Completed the walkthrough up to
about half way through the first night on Ista Island. Thanks to all of
you that sent me email on the items I was missing in the last version.
I hope to finish Chapter 4 and 5 tonight and the rest of the walkthrough
over Labor Day.
- 8/27/01 Version 0.25 – First update – Completed Chapter 2 and part of
Chapter 3. Corrected some minor errors as well and omissions as well.
I modified the sections of the game covered by Chapters 2 and 3, because
I thought there was more of a clean break in the action than there
really was. I’ll keep working on this walkthrough as much as I can.
-
8/24/01 Version 0.1 - Initial version. Completed the Prologue and
Chapter 1. All of the quest information that starts or finishes in
these chapters should be complete. (Except for the status on returning
Hal’s hammer. I forgot to do that at the end of Chapter 1.) The List
section should be complete for all of the information I know. There are
a couple of places where I don’t remember the exact details from my
first run through the game, and I haven’t made it there on my second run
through to give precise information. Enjoy.

**** INTRODUCTION ****

**** Purpose of this walkthrough ****
I’m writing this walkthrough due to the lack of any other
walkthroughs out there. I’m also writing this because some of the
information I found on the message boards was either incomplete or
misleading. I’ve also been a big fan of all of Anne McCaffrey’s
Dragonriders books and want to help others enjoy their experience in
this world. Finally, I’m writing this for the selfish reason of wanting
to finish all of the quests offered. (I figure if I’m going to post
this, I better have the vast majority of the quests finished, or I’m
going to have to go through a lot of email messages.) Please feel free
to send me an email if you notice anything missing, incomplete or
confusing at
[email protected].
I am using the PC version of the game, so I’ll mention keyboard
keys in certain places. I know there are console versions of the game
and I think the solutions I list in the walkthrough will work on any
platform, but I’m not 100% certain.
**** The standard adventure game warning ****
As much as the DRAGONRIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN has been
presented as an RPG and an action game, the vast majority of this game
is an adventure game. As such, a good portion of the fun and
satisfaction derived from this game come from self-discovery and solving
the puzzles on your own. Since this document is a walkthrough, it
contains the solutions to (hopefully) all of the quests and puzzles
presented in this game. Reading past the particular problem that you
are trying to solve could deprive you of some future sense of
accomplishment. In other words, read this at your own risk.
As with all adventure games, read everything, take everything,
talk to everybody. If someone says he / she thinks that there are so
many of a particular item, guest what, there’s that many of those items
in the game. Also, if anyone gives you a task to do and you complete
it, make sure you go back to that person to get your reward.
**** Layout of the rest of this walkthrough ****
The walkthrough portion of this document is divided into two
sections. The main section is a walkthrough of all of the major and
minor quests in the DRAGON RIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN. Also include in
the main section are hints and advice for getting past certain action
sequences. The second section of this document is the lists and quests.
The lists contain location of important items in the game as well as the
location of all the items in a multi-item quest. (The location of the
ever-popular Trundle bugs being one such multi-item quest.) The quests
list all of the quests I’ve identified in the game. Some of these
quests are not listed as quests in your journal.
In the main section of the walkthrough, I’ve broken the game into
multiple chapters. The game itself does not actually call out chapters,
but I found there are distinct sections of the game. Since the chapter
titles could be spoilers, I’ve deliberately tried to make them vague for
those who have not reached that part of the game. Hopefully, if you’ve
made it to that part of the game, the titles will make some sense to
you.
As you probably noticed, assuming you’ve gotten that far in the
game, when you ride Zenth from place to place, you get a cool movie. At
least it’s a cool movie the first couple of times. After you’ve seen it
once or twice, you’ve probably pressed the space bar and the escape key
to skip the movie. Only the movie doesn’t end. It keeps playing and
playing and … Well, you get the point. It gets very annoying when you
have to travel back and forth multiple times trying to figure out what
to do next. I ended up doing that a lot in Chapters 4 and 5. So to
limit your exposure to this movie, I’ve tried to group things in such a
way to minimize your travel.
I've also labeled all of the quests I could find in the game.
I've labeled each quest like this: QUEST #-#, where the first number is
the chapter the quest is given and the second number is the order in
which I present the quests in a chapter. I've also listed every place I
could find where your attributes increase and by how much they increase.
I don't report strength increases after a certain point in the
walkthrough, because you can pump your strength up as much as you like.
**** Background information ****
In the DRAGONRIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN, you play D’Kor, a dragon
rider. His dragon is Zenth, who is a bronze dragon. Bronze dragons are
the largest male dragons, smaller only to the gold queen female dragons.
A little background information for those of you not familiar with
the Dragonrider series. The gold and green dragons are female and the
bronze, brown and blue dragons are male. The sizes of the dragons from
largest to smallest are gold, bronze, brown, green, and blue. The
status of a dragon rider is determined by the size of his or her dragon.
Gold Dragonriders are always female. The rider of the dominant gold
dragon in a Weyr (a home of the dragons and their riders) is the
Weyrwoman, a position of great power and responsibility. The rider of
the dragon that mates with the gold dragon (always a bronze dragon) is
the Weyrleader.
Green dragons can either have a male or a female rider, although
in the later years of the Dragonrider series, most of the green riders
were male. Green dragons are infertile because they chew firestone.
(Firestone produces the dragons' flame when the dragons eat it.) If a
green dragon was fertile and successfully mated, she would only produce
green or blue dragon eggs. Since Bronze dragons are considered so
highly in the Weyr society, a Bronze dragon is not allowed to mate with
a green dragon.
The society on Pern is divided into three sections, the Holds, the
Halls, and the dragon Weyrs. The Halls or Crafthalls contain all of the
skilled workers of Pern. These include the Harpers (singers,
storytellers, and information gathers) and the Healers as well as a
number of other trades. The Hold owns and controls all of the land that
is not physically occupied by a Weyr or a Hall. The Hold Lord rules
over all the people on his Hold’s lands, who do not belong to a Weyr or
a Hall. Finally, the Weyrs house the dragons and their riders.
Together the dragons and their riders fight Thread, when it falls on
Pern. Each Weyr is responsible for protecting the land of about three
different Holds. In turn the Holds and the Halls are responsible for
supplying the Weyrs with their supplies, in the form of tithes.
That should be enough background information for this game. If
you would like more information about the Pern society and the dragons,
I would highly recommend reading the Dragonrider series by Anne
McCaffrey.
**** Overview of the game ****
The DRAGONRIDERS - CHRONICLES OF PERN is an adventure game with a
few additional components taken from RPG games. It’s RPG components are
(drum roll please) that you (D’Kor) have four different statistics and
you will learn eight different skills before you finish the game. I
guess if you want to get technical, you can also upgrade two of your
weapons, which gives the weapon a beautiful ‘*’ character next to it.
D’Kor’s four attributes are Health, Knowledge, Reputation, and
Strength. All of these attributes, except for Health, will improve
throughout the game as you accomplish different things. Your Health
goes from 0 to 100%. It is lowered when you are injured or eat a
poisonous herb and raised when you eat a healing herb or a medicinal
potion.
The three attributes that rise through actions, Knowledge,
Reputation, and Strength each have eight different levels. Each of
these different levels has a name. Certain quests and plot events
require you to achieve a certain attribute level. Usually the
characters will tell you what attribute level you have to be before you
can complete a particular task. For example, a character may say that
moving a lever requires "FORMIDABLE strength". If you look at the
various strength levels, you will see that FORMIDABLE strength is the
highest strength level you can obtain.
Of these three attributes, you only have direct control over
Strength. Your strength rises every time you fight something or climb
on / jump to a rock ledge. You get five points every time you perform a
climb / jump. You gain more points for killing various things. If you
find a ledge that you can climb up and down, you can keep repeating this
action, for five points a shot, until you get to FORMIDABLE strength.
You can also reset the tunnel snakes and Wherries by going far enough
away from their bodies and then returning. Usually going far enough
away means going to another section you have to load and then returning
to the original section. Killing these animals is more of a risk to
you, since you can lose health and there is a limited number of healing
plants available. You can only raise your Knowledge and Reputation
through events and quests.
At some point early in the game, D’Kor will get a journal where
every important event is recorded. You don’t have to rush through the
game looking for the journal, because you are afraid you’ll lose track
of something without it. All the information you receive before you get
the journal will automatically be added to it when you get the journal.
Also, some of the things you do are listed as quests in the journal and
some of them are just entered as information. The journal will leave
room for additional information, so you’ll have an idea of how much you
have left to do on a quest by the amount of space between that quest and
the next entry. The quest information is not highlighted very well, so
it can be a little challenging to figure out what you’ve done and what
you need to do.
Finally, at the halfway point of Chapter 2, you have three
different sets of clothes, your riding gear, your Dragonrider clothes,
and some civilian clothes. You have the ability to change clothes any
time and anywhere you want. For the most part, you can leave your
Dragonrider clothes on all the time. You never need to switch into your
riding gear. This will happen automatically every time you ride Zenth
to another location. You will only have to wear your civilian clothes a
couple of times in the game. For each of these situations, one of the
characters will tell you that you can’t do something while you are
dressed like a Dragonrider. Also, most of the characters seem to
recognize you no matter how you are dressed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After triggering a certain point in the main plot,
you may not be able to finish certain sub-quests. I’ll try to call out
in the walkthrough where these events are, so you can be sure to
complete these quests without having to revert to a saved game. While
we’re on the topic of saving your games, here’s the next important note.
SECOND IMPORTANT NOTE: You only get five different save game slots
in this game. You can’t label the save games either. The saved games
are named after the location that you made the save and the amount of
time that you’ve been playing the game. You get four save game slots
when you press the escape key and another save game slot when you press
F9, for a quick save. The game automatically saves the game for you at
certain points in a sixth slot, but you can’t really rely on this too
much. Since there are so few save game slots and it is possible to get
in a position where it is impossible to solve a sub-quest, if you rotate
your save game slots too much, you may not be able to get solve a
particular sub-quest without restarting the game. You could back up
save games to a different directory, outside of the game to help lessen
the chance you’ll have to restart the game.
FINAL IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a bug with sneak mode and picking
items up. There are a couple of locations near the end of the game
where you can activate sneak mode. In some of these locations there are
also buttons to press or items to pick up. The problem is, the sneak
mode icon is showing, not the pickup or activate icon. You can get the
pickup or activate icon by pressing the 0 / Insert key (Ins) on your
numeric keypad. This will toggle you between the two states.
MINOR ANNOYANCE: For those of you that have sleeping spouses or
live in an apartment with paper thin walls, the music in this game can
get really loud at certain points. The most notable times are when you
are at the New Game menu and when you are taking Zenth to travel to a
new location.
**** Fighting Tips ****
At various points in the game, D’Kor will have to fight different
creatures or people. The fighting is pretty simply, but some of the
later opponents can kill you in one or two shots, so you always have to
be careful. It also helps to press F9 just before a fight, so you can
restore your game if you get killed or take too much damage.
You will eventually get several different weapons, but all of the
fighting falls into one or two different modes, melee fighting and
crossbow sniping. The most common of these is the melee fighting. The
most important thing to remember is always use the most powerful melee
weapon you have. Even if the other opponent is attacking you with their
fists, the game won’t penalize you if you strike back with a sword. The
order of attack strength, from greatest to smallest is sword, knife, and
fists.
Regardless of which weapon you are using, the fights will be
identical. You will hold down the left or right key to get to the side
of your opponent. When you get on their side, you swing by pressing the
up arrow key. If you spin around your opponent and they spin around
with you, take a quick swing and then move to the left or right quickly
and attack again. Most of the time, if you stop to take a swing, your
opponent will lunge after you a second later. If you’ve moved to the
side when they attack, you’ll have a clear shot at their side. If you
don’t kill them with this shot, start spinning again and repeat the
whole process.
Note that the melee fighting can be very challenging sometimes
because the camera doesn’t follow you correctly. If this happens, try
to maneuver yourself into an area where you can see. You may have to
put away your weapon and run to a visible area, but this could lead to
D’Kor’s death.
The crossbow fighting is much easier. All you have to do is
select the appropriate crossbow in your inventory and activate it. You
will then go to a first person view with a small crosshair in the
center. Position the crosshair on your target and press the space bar.
If you hit your target, it will go down. You can only hit Trundle bugs,
switches and targets with your first crossbow, so don’t bother aiming it
at anything living. You’ll also get close to 90 arrows to hit 6 Trundle
bugs and a couple of targets, so don’t worry if you happen to miss a
couple of shots.
**** Movement keys and tips ****
Here’s a quick run down of the PC and Dreamcast keys used in the
game. Most of this should be in your game’s documentation, but it’s
here again for reference. I’ve also included a couple of hints about
sneaking, since some people seem to have some problems with it.
Action / Item Dreamcast key PC Key
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Action button A (red button) Space Bar
Use an Item X (yellow button) Enter Key
Select Item in Inventory A (red button) Space or Enter
Access Inventory Y (green button) F1 or I key
Cycle through available B (blue button) “Ins” on keypad
Actions
Walk Press analog controller half way up(DC)
Run Press analog controller all the way up(DC)
Walk / Run Toggle Shift Key (PC)
The most important key, which isn’t mention in the manual is the B
(blue) button on the Dreamcast and the “Ins” button on the PC keypad.
This key lets you toggle through the available options. If there are
multiple people in a small area and you want to talk to one of them, you
don’t have to work and position D’Kor just right to talk to the person.
If the person is within D’Kor’s sight, you can use the B (blue) or “Ins”
until you find the person you want. This becomes critical in Chapter 8
of this walkthrough, because there are some buttons you have to press,
but the Sneak icon comes up by default. Without this key, you won’t be
able to finish the game.
I’ve had a couple of people ask me about sneaking. The action of
sneaking as actually pretty simple, although avoiding detection while
sneaking isn’t always easy. To Sneak, you need to get to an area where
the Sneak icon appears. When the Sneak icon appears, press the Action
button and walk wherever you want to go. The key is to make sure you
are walking. In the PC version of the game, D’Kor runs by default in
all outside settings. To Sneak when you are outside, you have to hold
down the Shift key and press the Action button to enter Sneak mode. You
have to keep the Shift key depressed to stay in Sneak mode.
Also, just because you are in Sneak mode, it doesn’t mean that you
are invisible. If you are supposed to be sneaking past someone, you
have to make sure the person isn’t looking at you. If you are trying to
sneak past Lamrat in Chapter 2, you have to wait until Lamrat has his
back to you. If Lamrat returns to his post before you sneak past him,
he will catch you.
I’ve received an email from M. Holden that I haven’t had a chance
to confirm you. According to the email, you can control the camera angle
on the PC. The “5” key on the keypad toggles you between manual and
automatic camera modes. When you are in manual mode, the “Del” key
toggles you between moving D’Kor and moving the camera. The left,
right, up and down arrow keys on the keypad will move the camera. The
“Home” and “End” keys move the camera vertically. The “+” plus key will
supposedly lock up your machine, so don’t use it. Like I said, I
haven’t confirmed this yet, but I’ll ad some more comments here when I
do.
**** Interacting with your dragon, Zenth ****
Dealing with Zenth is pretty straight forward, but I’ll include a
section on it, just for completeness sake. You can ask Zenth about the
area you are current in, but most of what he tells you is pretty
obvious. (“You are in Fort Weyr - Your home.” WOW!!! Really!!! I had no
idea!!!)
You can travel to another one of the five possible locations by
selecting the “I’m ready to leave” option. You have to be in a large
enough location for Zenth to land before you can leave. What this
really means is that each of the five locations has one area where Zenth
can land. In Fort Weyr, it’s the Fort Weyr bowl. In all other
locations, it’s the area where Zenth originally lands. The area is
defined as any place that you can go in the landing area without having
to load a new section. So, in Fort Weyr, any outdoors location in the
Fort Weyr bowl is considered an acceptable place, even if you are by the
outer doors and the land spot is near the Fort Weyr entrance.
**** Known bugs and other issues ****
There are a number of bugs and issues with this game that make
your life a little difficult. The most obvious problem with the game is
the camera angles. The camera angle for some areas is fixed. When you
move to another area, the camera jumps to a new location. Only
sometimes, the camera forgets to jump. Then D’Kor is in one area and
your looking at the area where he used to be. If this happens, you have
to try to move D’Kor blindly until he’s either back where you are
looking or he triggers another camera change.
This bug gets really annoying when you are melee fighting. The
way the fighting system works, you have to circle your opponent and
strike it / him from the side. Sometimes while you are spinning around,
you will spin off screen and have no idea where you are. At other
times, you can see yourself just fine, but you can’t see your opponent.
In either case, you fight has just gotten much harder. The only thing I
can tell you is to try to stay in the area where you can see the most.
Sometimes sliding left and right over a small area is easier than
completely circling your opponent.
The other major issue happens when you have multiple actions to
select in the same area. Some times your fire-lizard will give you one
of the actions, but not the one that you want. There’s an undocumented
way to rotate through all of the available options. On the PC version
of the game, pressing the 0 (Ins) key on the keypad will toggle between
the available options. You have to do this to press the buttons in the
Prison area, but this is helpful to know throughout the game. If you
see a crowd of people and want to talk with a particular person, you can
use the 0 (Ins) button to select the person instead of trying to
position D’Kor so the correct person is selected.
There’s an annoying issue where you can’t select anything or talk
to a person until when you first walk into a new area. Most of the time
that you make a transition from one building or level to another, an
image appears on the screen along with the name of the location. You
won’t be able to activate anything until this image completely fades
away. This means you that is you want to talk to some character, you
will have to stand next to the character and wait for the load image to
disappear before you can initiate the conversation.
There are several situations in the game where a character will
tell you that you need to talk to another person or give another person
some item, but they will tell you the wrong character. For example,
when you find your first ancient artifact, Zenth tells you that you
should visit Klor in Mastersmith Hall. The correct character, however,
to give the ancient artifacts to is Forn. In another situation, Fin
tells you that there is a Trundle bug on the beach of Ista when the
Trundle bug is on the beach of Ierne Island. Just be aware that some of
the advice you receive in the game is inaccurate.
There are also other random places in the game where the sound for
the voices will stop but the text will continue. Do not chose the voice
only option or you will miss some important information when the game
decides to make the characters mute.
There are other places in the game where D’Kor will suddenly
disappear. I had this happen in one of the final fights. It’s almost
impossible to make it through one of the melee fighting scenes without
being about to see D’Kor.
I get the feeling that some quests were added or modified during
the development of this game, but the character’s speeches were not.
There seems to be a couple of places where the characters hint about a
quest that does not exist in the game.
A minor thing, but it seems like N’eth’s name was changed at the
last moment. Every time a character says his name, it sounds a little
off, almost like a different person said his name.
The last major issue in the game is that there is no way to skip
any of the cut scenes. With the exception of the opening movie, you can
not skip any of the movies or cut-scenes. So if you go back to a
previous location in the game, you will have to listen to every
conversation in full, even if you’ve heard it already. The most
annoying instance of this is when you travel from location to location
on Zenth. This little movie takes a long time to before it finish.
You’ll get to see this movie a lot before the game is over.
**** Things I haven’t figure out ****
I think I have most of the information in the game. There are a
few items that I think aren’t complete. Most of these involve
incomplete journal entries. If you come across any thing you think is
inaccurate in this walkthrough, please tell me.
- I couldn’t get the QUEST COMPLETE journal entry for the Keriil
and Hellion quest. (It’s Quest 8-3 in the walkthrough.) I’ve found and
freed both Keriil and Hellion, I’ve got the cut scene of the two of them
together after I rescued the slaves, but I didn’t get the QUEST COMPLETE
journal entry.
- After the journal entry about Govan in Mastersmith Hall, there’s
a bunch of room left for other entries. I never got any other
information about him, so I ended up with about a page’s worth of blank
space after the Govan entry. My guess was that the game designers
intended Govan and Rom to be the same character, since Rom isn’t
introduced to us until Chapter 9, the end of the game.
- There’s a girl, Moria, in Ista Island who’s parents, Keriil and
Hellion, have disappeared. You rescue her parents in Chapter 8, but
she’s still crying for them at the end of the game. Is there any way to
bring her parents back to Ista?
Any advice on anything that I’ve missed up in the walkthrough up
to this point would be appreciated.
******************
**** PROLOGUE ****
******************
The prelude is designed to let you get use to the controls without
much pressure. Zenth, your dragon will tell you what to do if you get
stuck. If you do something Zenth does not like, such as try and leave
your room, Zenth will fuss at you.
After the introductory movie and a fly-over of Fort Weyr, you
awaken from a bad dream in you bed. You have a hangover from drinking
too much the night before at Nalaya's wake. Zenth tells you that his
hide itches. He needs you to brush oil on him.
Starting attributes: Health 10% Knowledge 0 (ABLE) Reputation 0
(HONEST) Strength 0 (WEAK)
Starting skills: none
Starting location: Upper Levels of Fort Weyr - your bedroom
QUEST P-1: Oil Zenth
The oil is on the shelf to the right of the fireplace. The brush
is in the room to the right. I think it's a bathroom / shower. Just
take right turn at the shelf and start walking to the wall. You'll
probably notice the camera issues in the game with this action. You
can't see the bathroom until you step on the right spot to trigger the
camera change. Sometimes, the camera doesn't change when it should and
you have to play with the controls until you see D'Kor again. This gets
especially annoying when you're fighting.
Enough of this aside, pick up the brush and return to the bedroom
and then go through the center door in the back of the room to Zenth
weyr. Go to Zenth's head and activate the bottle of oil. D'Kor will
pour the oil into the bucket. Activate the brush on Zenth head to start
a cut scene.
In the cut scene, Zenth tells you that S'bor wants to have a
meeting you. The cut scene marks the end of the Prologue.
None of your attributes change during the Prologue.
**************************************
**** CHAPTER 1 - The Weyr meeting ****
**************************************
Chapter 1 starts with the end of the Prologue's cut scene and ends
with the start of the Weyr meeting.
Exit Zenth's weyr and grab the not on the table in your bedroom.
The note tells you to get your knife back from K'tan.
QUEST 1-1: Get your knife from K'tan.
As you exit your bedroom, grab the note on the floor. It's from
S'bor and tells you that he wants you to round up the other members of
Alpha Wing for a meeting to discuss the search for a new Weyrwoman.
QUEST 1-2: Visit Lytah, S'lon, B'rak, K'tan, T'men, L'tul, F'ben, N'eth,
and V'hul. Get each one of them to come to the meeting. (Finishing
Quest 1-2 will end Chapter 1.)
As you leave your bedroom, Zenth tells you that Craftsmaster Dorn
has finished repairing your riding gear, so you need to pick it up.
Zenth also tells you to do something about your hangover. (The only
reason to come back to your bedroom after this point is to hatch fire-
lizard eggs, so there's no reason to keep checking here.)
QUEST 1-3: Pick up your riding gear from Craftsmaster Dorn.
QUEST 1-4: Find a cure for your hangover.
We're lacking two important things right now - a map of Fort Weyr
and a journal to record our quests. Luckily, we can get both of these
things doing the same quest. We'll start by getting the map. Follow
the corridor down to the large room. This is the Meeting Room. Go to
the Fort Weyr Library, which is across the Meeting Room, directly
opposite the entrance to your bedroom.
In the Library, talk to Lockenn. Lockenn tells you that he is
looking for his journal. Lockenn will also offer you a map of the Weyr.
Well, here's our map
QUEST 1-5: Find Lockenn's journal and return it to him.
Now that you've got your map, I just tell you the name of the room
instead of giving you detailed instructions to that location. Go down
to the Middle Levels. Then go to Lytah's room and talk to her. She will
tell you that N'eth got mixed up with one of the kitchen staff. She
will also offer you Lockenn's diary. As you leave, Lytah reminds you
that it is her nameday (birthday) and that you gave her a beautiful
pearl last year. Lytah goes to the Weyr meeting after your
conversation. (First Dragonrider for QUEST 1-2)
QUEST 1-6: Find a pearl for Lytah. (You won't be able to complete this
quest until Chapter 2, at the earliest.)
Take the journal back to Lockenn in the library. He gives you a
new journal. He tells you to write all of the important things you
find, but you'll need the Scribing Skill first.
QUEST 1-5 COMPLETED: Reputation +20 (Total: 20)
To get the Scribing Skill, you need to go to the Scribing Room on
the Lower Levels of Fort Weyr. Talk to Kevan in the Scribing Room and
he will teach you the Scribing Skill. He gives you an ink stylus and
tells you how to use your journal.
SKILL AWARDED: Scribing Skill (Your first skill. Mom would have been so
proud!)
Now we've got our map and our journal, so let's start finding and
solving quests. We'll start at the bottom of Fort Weyr and work our way
up. You'll notice that Jillan is guarding the doors to the Fort Weyr
bowl. You will not be able to get to Fort Weyr bowl until we've gotten
most of the Dragonriders to the meeting.
You'll notice Dorn's Workshop is on this level. Since QUEST 1-3
wants us to pick up our riding gear from Craftsmaster Dorn, let's pay
him a visit. Talk to him and he'll give you your riding gear.
QUEST 1-3 COMPLETED: Riding gear acquired. (You’ll need your riding gear
before you can travel by Zenth to another location.)
That's all for the Lower Levels, so we'll go up to the Middle
Levels and start recruiting Dragonriders. We you arrive on the Middle
Levels, you'll hear crying coming from the unnamed rooms. Inside
Gillian's crying. When you walk in the room, Gillian will approach you
and tell you her son Jim is missing after playing last night in the Weyr
Bowl. She says her husband Mullen is also looking for Jim.
QUEST 1-7: Find Gillian's son Jim. (We won't be able to complete this
quest until we can visit the Fort Weyr Bowl.)
Now run across the main corridor to V'hul's room. V'hul will give
you a ballad to give to F'ben.
QUEST 1-8: Deliver V'hul's ballad to F'ben.
Continuing on in the Middle Level's run down the hall until you
see the woman, Emmara, in front of the tapestry. She will tell you she
is making a tapestry of all of Pern in great detail. She will tell you
she needs someone RELIABLE to give her information about Pern. Since
RELIABLE is the second level of reputation, you will need to level up
one level before she will take information from you.
QUEST 1-9: Help Emmara finish her tapestry of Pern.
Now it’s off to the Dragonriders' rooms. Since B'rak's room is
closed, we'll go to the next available room, N'eth's. Talk to N'eth and
he'll tell you that he can't go to the meeting because he's too afraid
to leave his room. He knows he insulted someone last night and drew a
knife on that person, but he doesn't remember who it was. He's afraid
that if he doesn't apologize to the mystery person, he's going to get a
dagger in the back.
QUEST 1-10: Find out who N'eth insulted and apologize for him.
Reputation +20 (Total: 40) for accepting the quest.
S'lon's room is next to Lytah's, so we'll talk to him next. You
see firsthand S'bor anger towards S'bor. After talking with S'lon, he
agrees to go to the meeting. Knowledge +10 (Total: 10) for talking with
S'lon.
Next stop, the Gambling Room. You'll find T'men and B'rak playing
dice on one of the tables. Talk to both of them. They refuse to go to
the meeting until they've finished their game.
QUEST 1-11: Stop T'men's and B'rak's game so they'll go to the Weyr
meeting.
Walk around to the side of the table and grab the dice when they
are on the table.
QUEST 1-11 COMPLETED: T'men and B'rak will go to the meeting.
We've already taken care of T'men, so F'ben's room is next. Talk
to F'ben and deliver V'hul's ballad to him. After venting his anger on
you, he will go to the meeting.
QUEST 1-8 COMPLETED: F'ben goes to the Weyr Meeting. Knowledge +10
(Total: 20) Reputation +20 (Total: 60)
L'tul's room is closed, but we'll find him later. So, now it's up
the stairs to the Kitchen area. We'll start with the Stores. When you
climb the stairs, you should see a cut-scene of the Kitchens opening.
If you don't see this cut-scene, come back later. Regardless of whether
or not you see the cut-scene, you can talk to Kendrick in the Stores.
Kendrick mentions that there is a great shortage of ores in the last
shipment. He says he needs to ask the trader that brought the ores in
what happened. Knowledge +50 (Total: 70)
QUEST 1-12: Investigate the ore shortage. (You won't be able to finish
the Quest until Chapter 9.)
Skipping the Kitchens a moment, we'll go to the Dinning Area and
talk to Horlas. Horlas tells you chef Tom is in a bad mood because a
Green Dragonrider insulted his food. (A hint for the N'eth quest.)
Horlas also gives you a jar, which you'll use to hold Trundle bugs.
Dragonriders T'lor and H'ram are also in the Dinning Area. You can talk
to them, but it's not necessary.
Now we'll visit the Kitchens. Rowarth is outside of the door to
the Kitchens and he tells you that the Kitchens are open or closed. He
also tells you that Tom Keating, the chef is upset because a green rider
has insulted his food. So, we'll talk to Tom. You apologize to Tom for
N'eth. Tom tells you he forgives N'eth. He also tells you that he has a
favor that he wants to ask of you if you go to Fort Hold.
QUEST 1-10 COMPLETED: Apologized for N'eth. N’eth goes to the meeting.
Reputation +20 (Total: 80), Knowledge +25 (Total: 95)
QUEST 1-13: Tom wants you to return his favor by doing something for
him.
Next, talk to Roma in the Kitchen. Roma wants you to find some
ingredients to help him with his Hatching Ceremony meal. For accepting
the quest: Reputation +15 (Total: 95), Knowledge +25 (Total: 120,
Knowledge level increases to CONVERSANT)
QUEST 1-14: Get the ingredients for Roma's Hatching Ceremony meal. (You
won't be able to finish this Quest until Chapter 9.)
Lastly, talk to Urik in kitchen. He offers you one food item and
a cure for your hangover. Drink the headache cure and your health will
be restored to 90%.
QUEST 1-4 COMPLETE: Found a cure for you hangover. Health +80%
Since we've apologized to Tom for N'eth, we should tell N'eth the
good news. Return to N'eth's room and talk to him. N'eth decides to
apologize to Tom in person. As he leaves, he tells you that his dragon
Azoth has identified Ramalla, Kendrick’s daughter, as a potential
Weyrwoman.
QUEST 1-10 COMPLETED: N'eth will go to the Weyr meeting. Reputation +40
(Total: 135, Reputation level increased to RELIABLE), Knowledge +50
(Total: 170)
QUEST 1-15: Get Ramalla, Kendrick daughter. She is a potential
Weyrwoman.
Our Reputation level just increase, so we can now talk to Emmara
about her tapestry quest. All this really does is activate official
activate QUEST 1-9.
Let's tie up one more loose end by talking to Kendrick in the
Stores about his daughter Ramalla. He's seems happy about the news.
Knowledge +50 (Total: 220)
We've done all we can on the Middle Levels of Fort Weyr for the
time being, so lets go upstairs to the Upper Levels. Head towards
K'tan's room and you should see Fin. Talk to him.
Next, go to K'tan's room. Talk to K'tan. He mentions that N'eth
did something to upsetting last night (old news). K'tan will give you
your knife back and offer to teach you how to use it. After following
K'tan's instructions, you will get the Knife skill. K'tan will offer to
spar with you for practice. Take him up on it for an easy strength
boast.
QUEST 1-1 COMPELETED: Strength +40 (40), K'tan goes to the Meeting Room
and waits for the Weyr meeting (Another Dragonrider for QUEST 1-2.)
SKILL AWARDED: Knife Skill (2nd skill)
Next we'll talk to V'Kai, in his room. V'Kai won't speak to you
until you reach the knowledge level of CONVERSANT. V'Kai tells you to
find 10 suitable Weyrwoman candidates in Pern. He tells you to see him
again sometime, but he won't talk to you again until your reputation
level is RESPECTABLE.
QUEST 1-16: Find ten Weyrwoman candidates (You won't be able to finish
this Quest until Chapter 9.)
Now would be a good time to go to the Library and read all of the
scrolls you can. The Queen's Hatching Ballad is needed for a Quest in
Chapter 2. This scroll is in the first bookshelf to the left when you
enter the library. Another scroll you need to read is the one titled
“Gannell”. It contains the epitaph you need for a later quest. The
Gannel scroll is on the bookshelf just to the left of the entrance to
the Weyrleader’s Private Reading Room You can try to go to the
Weyrleader’s Private Reading Room, but Mishra won't let you enter until
your reputation level is HIGHLY REGARDED. Your Knowledge will increase
+25 (Total: 245) for attempting to enter the Private Reading Room.
You should now have all the Dragonriders except for L'tul. Talk
to any of the riders in the Meeting Room and they will tell you that
L'tul is looking for Jim. (Quest 1.7)
You have to go to the Fort Weyr Bowl to find Jim, but talking to
the riders seated at the Meeting Room table will get Jillan to open the
doors to the Bowl. Go down to the Lower Levels and out to the Fort Weyr
Bowl.
Let's walk around the Bowl in a counterclockwise direction.
You'll notice there's a ramp to your right almost immediately next to
the exit to Fort Weyr. You can ignore this for now. You don't have the
strength to move the boulder on top yet.
The first person you run into is J'cob. J'cob will tell you how
to talk to Zenth, if you haven't figured that out already. Cross the
bridge and notice the boarded up cave entrance. We'll be going back to
this entrance in a few minutes. You may notice some green herbs growing
in the Bowl and other places. These herbs are either healing or
poisonous herbs. You can't tell the difference until you get the
Healing Skill in Chapter 5. Eating them now will either randomly
increase or decrease your health.
Continue moving in forward until you find Helan playing beside the
water. Talk to her and ask her about Jim. She will tell you that Jim
went to trap tunnel snakes in the Dark Caves. She tells you Jax knows
where the Dark Caves are. Confront Jax and he will confirm Jim went to
the Dark Caves and offers to give you a map of the caves. Accept the
map.
Now talk to Jillan, who is by the main gates. If you have the jar
from Horlas, he tells you his daughter Imogen wants six Trundle bugs.
He gives you the crossbow and the crossbow skill. The crossbow with the
darts you have can only be used to stun Trundle bugs and hit targets.
The crossbow darts will be useless against any live opponents. Knowledge
+50 (Total: 295, Knowledge levels up to Knowledgeable.)
SKILL AWARDED: Crossbow Skill. (3rd skill)
QUEST 1-17: Collect 6 Trundle bugs for Jillan's daughter Imogen.
Continue going counterclockwise around the bowl until you run into
Perry on the cart. He will tell you that he is the head of the caravan
and that the Masterminer did not give him enough ore. He speculates
that the ore has gone to some other project. Knowledge +25 (Total: 320)
You can ignore Hal for the time being, except to note that he has
a hammer. Cross the bridge to the next island and enter the house. (Not
the stable) Ramalla is in the house. If you talk to her, she will
become a potential Weyrwoman.
QUEST 1-15 COMPLETED: Ramalla becomes the first Weyrwoman Candidate.
Reputation +100 (Total: 235), Knowledge + 50 (Total: 370)
Leave the house and cross the bridge to the windmill. Talk to the
Miller and he will tell you that the lever to start the windmill is
stuck and only a person with FORMIDABLE strength can move it.
QUEST 1-18: Move the lever on the Fort Weyr windmill.
Now cross the final bridge so you are almost back to where you
started. Just before the entrance to Fort Weyr, there's a large
entrance to the Hatching Grounds. Enter the Hatching Grounds and talk
to Syllia. She will give you a fire-lizard egg (blue) and tell you that
you can hatch it, if you have a Knowledge level of KNOWLEDGEABLE, which
you have. Reputation +15 (Total: 250, Reputation levels up to LOYAL)
Go back to Fort Weyr Bowl and return to the boarded up entrance.
Mullen will be shouting at the entrance. Look at the boards and Mullen
will tell you that he thinks the boards need to be smashed. Now we can
go back to Hal and talk to him. D'Kor borrows Hal's hammer to break the
boards. Return to the boarded up entrance and hit the boards with the
hammer. Mullen runs into the cave. Follow him.
Mullen will stop in front of a wall and says that the wall is a
recent cave-in. Smash the wall with the hammer. (Mullen requires you
to have a knife before you can continue in the caves. See the K’tan if
you don’t have the knife already.) Follow Mullen through the new
opening to the bridge and talk to him. (Now would be a good time to
save your game, by the way.)
Run across the bridge and prepare your knife. We're going to
fight Tunnel Snakes! The bridge will collapse behind you as you run
across. Go down the tunnel and kill the Tunnel Snake on the left.
Strength +20 (Total: 60). You can run down this tunnel and you see a
cut scene where Jim tells you to take the other direction. He also
tells you he dropped his trapping basket. There will be a set of 10
darts lying on the floor of this tunnel on the way back.
Go back and take the tunnel that you skipped. You'll come to
another fork with a Tunnel Snake off to the right. Save your game and
kill the Tunnel Snake. Strength +20 (Total: 80) Go down the tunnel the
Tunnel snake was blocking. Be careful because there are two more Tunnel
Snakes down here. Kill both of these Tunnel Snakes. Strength +20 for
each (Total: 120, Strength level increases to STANDARD.)
After you have killed the two Tunnel Snakes, you will find a
Tunnel Snake egg (part of QUEST 1-14) and a Trundle bug running around
(part of QUEST 1-17). Collect both of these items. To catch the
Trundle bug, shoot it with the crossbow and then pick it up. You can
only collect one Trundle bug at a time, so make sure you visit Jillan
after you capture each one. If you are having troubles using the
crossbow, check out the Fighting Tips in the beginning of this
walkthrough.
Now go back up the tunnel you came down and chose the passage that
did not have the tunnel snake. You'll come to a series of rocks you can
hop across. For every jump or climb you do, you gain 5 points of
Strength. Since you can jump back and forth as much as you like, you
can pump your Strength to whatever level you would like. Everyone's
Strength will be different from now on, so I won't give any more
Strength totals. I will recommend what Strength level you should have
at different points and I will leave it up to you to get the required
Strength.
Now back to the walkthrough, continue forward in the passageway </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
you just jumped to and you should enter a room with another tunnel
snake. Kill the snake and notice the basket on the upper platform.
Climb up the rocks, get the basket, and climb back down. In the same
room, you should see a rock blocking an opening between the last gap you
jumped to get the basket. You need a Strength level of TOUGH to move
the rock. Jump up and down on the rocks until you get to this Strength
level. Once you've reached the Strength level of TOUGH, move the rock
and enter the opening. You will find an ancient artifact that looks
like a black rectangle with yellow, green, and red wires coming out of
the side. This ancient artifact will get you a weapon upgrade, if you
give it to Forn in Mastersmith Hall. (Zenth says you should take the
artifact to Klor, but you really give it to Forn.)
To continue our rescue attempt, go down the passageway you haven't
entered yet. It should be to the left of the rock that you moved when
looking at the rock from the direction that you entered the room.
There's one more Tunnel Snake here, so save as necessary. Jax's map
stops here. Kill the Tunnel Snake and notice the gray wall that looks
like the wall you broke earlier. You can not do anything about this
wall now, but we will come back here later.
Continue down the passage to Jim. A metal door will close just
before you reach him. Back up to the pile of rocks just before the
metal door. Hit the rocks with your hammer. A large stone will break.
Push the stone and the stone will stop in the doorway. The stone will
stop the door from closing. Now you can slide under the door. The door
will slam shut behind you, breaking the rock. You can talk to Jim and
he will tell you that there has to be another way out of the tunnel.
Look at the metal rod to the near side of the mining cart. Hit
the bar with the hammer. The hammer will break, but the bar will move.
Push the cart and it will run down the tracks and smash into the wall.
This will lead you back to the Lower Levels of Fort Weyr.
QUEST 1-7 COMPLETED: Rescued Jim. Reputation +50 (Total: 300)
L'tul will be waiting for you after the cut-scene with Jim and his
parents. Talk to him and he will go to the meeting.
We can go to the meeting now, but let's dump off our Trundle bug
with Jillan in the Fort Weyr Bowl first, just to empty our jar.
Reputation +15 (Total: 315)
Give the hammer pieces to Hal and apologize to him. Reputation
+20 (Total: 335) NOTE: This is the only time you can talk to Hal and
give him back the hammer. If you wait until after the meeting, Hal will
already have found a new hammer.
Go back to the Middle Levels and talk to Gillian. Reputation +50
(Total: 385)
Time to go to the Upper Levels and start the Weyr meeting. The
meeting starts as soon as you walk towards the Meeting Room table in the
Upper Levels.
QUEST 1-2 COMPELETED: After you have collected all of the Dragonriders,
go to the Meeting Room on the Upper Level of Fort Weyr. The meeting
will start automatically when you approach the meeting table.

also called on to go to Mastersmith Hall to learn what is happening with
the missing ore. The cut scene ends with you in your bedroom.
At the end of Chapter 1, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 370 level - KNOWLEDGEABLE, Reputation: 385 Level - LOYAL,

We made 0 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 0 jumps in
the game so far.
******************************************
**** CHAPTER 2 - The Fort Hold Gather ****
******************************************
Chapter 2 starts with the end of the Weyr Meeting and ends when
you see the cut scene of Branth making a jump Between.
You start this Chapter in your room, after being awaken by K'tan.
He wants you to meet him in the Fort Weyr Bowl to fly to Fort Hold. We
have a couple of little things to tidy up before we leave for Fort Hold,
however.
First, we have a fire-lizard egg that we received from Syllia in
the Hatching Grounds. You can hatch the fire-lizard egg by selecting
the sand container next to the fireplace. You will see D'Kor place the
egg in the sand and a blue fire-lizard will appear on the nearby rail.
If you select the blue fire-lizard, it will replace your green fire-
lizard. The only real change this has on the game is that your fire-
lizard change color and the wings surrounding your selection action show
the color of your current fire-lizard. Pick whichever fire-lizard you
like best and exit your room.
When you reach the Meeting Room, V'hul gives you a message to give
to Lamrat. He says the message officially informs Fort Hold of Nalaya's
death.
QUEST 2-1: Deliver V'hul's message to Lamrat.
Go down to the Middle Levels and talk to Jim. He tells you that
his mother has banned him from eating sweets and playing with his toys
for two weeks.
Run and talk to Emmara on the Middle Level. She will ask you what
type of animal lives down in the Dark Caves. Answer her with "Tunnel
Snakes". Reputation +15 (Total: 400)
Now go to the Kitchens and talk with J’cob. J'cob tells you that
he isn't feeling well and that Healer Hall is full.
Talk with Tom, since he asked you to do him a favor next time you
go to Fort Hold. He asks you to deliver a letter to his brother Jak
Keeting, who's the head chef at Fort Hold. (Second part of Quest 1-13)
Reputation +20 (Total: 420)
Talk with Roma and give him your Tunnel Snake egg.
Talk to Kendrick in the Stores. He will tell you that there is a
black Trundle bug running around. Look down and you should find it.
Collect the stunned black Trundle bug, which is our second Trundle bug.
(Quest 1-17)
Jax should be running around the kitchen level some place. Talk
with Jax, he tells you someone wants Llama hair in the cow pens exchange
for Flax. Now go to the Fort Weyr Bowl.
Even though K'tan is waiting for you in Fort Weyr Bowl, let's do a
couple of more things first. Take the ramp that lies to the right of
the entrance to Fort Weyr. At the top of the ramp is a rock you can
push. Behind the rock are another Ancient Artifact and 10 more crossbow
darts. Now drop off the black Trundle bug with Jillan. Reputation +20
(Total: 440)
If you run into Helan, she will tell you that she found something
very old, but she will only give it to somebody DEPENDABLE. Since you
are not at this level yet, she tells you she can't trust you.
Now we can finally talk to K'tan. You can't miss him. He's next
to that huge dragon. K'tan will tell you how to use Zenth to travel to
different places. Take Zenth to Fort Hold.
After a long cinematic cut-scene, you will arrive at Fort Hold.
(Since when did dragons open a wormhole when they jump Between? They're
just supposed to just disappear. I guess that doesn't look as good in a
movie, though.)
When you land, K'tan says that he will talk to Lord Gralt and that
you should look for search candidates. Knowledge +10 (Total: 380)
Your journal tells you that we should deliver the note to Lamrat
first, so lets do just that. If you run straight ahead from where you
landed, you will see a person in white standing in the middle of an
archway. (He's directly opposite the man with the broken cart.) Walk
up to Lamrat and watch a cut scene. Pleasant isn't he. He mentions
that there is a thief in the market, so he won't let anyone into the
Hold.
QUEST 2-1 COMPLETED: Note Delivered to Lamrat. Knowledge +50 (Total:
430)
QUEST 2-2: Get past Lamrat somehow to enter Fort Hold.
From Lamrat, we'll walk around the courtyard in a counterclockwise
direction. The first person will reach is in the stall just to the
right of the main entrance (with the broken cart). Either Parlan or
Archen will be at the both. Talk to whichever one is there. Parlan
will give you new boots and Archen will give you a new set of clothes.
You need both the clothes and the boots, so you can either wait for
Parlan and Archen to switch or you can come back later and hope the
correct one is there.
Next to the clothes stall, there's a man named Faran with a broken
cart. The bracket on the wheel broke and the HerdBeast pulling the cart
died. The cart is blocking the exit to Fort Hold, so you won't be able
to leave Fort Hold until you help Faran. Knowledge +15 (Total: 455),
Reputation +20 (Total: 460)
QUEST 2-3: Faran needs a new bracket and a new HerdBeast so he can fix
this cart.
You should see a young girl name Keela playing around the broken
cart. She asks if she can touch your Dragon.
QUEST 2-4: Keela wants to touch Zenth.
Agree to her request, and Keela will give you some sweets as a
thank you gift.
QUEST 2-4 COMPLETED: Keela gives you sweets. Reputation +15 (Total: 475)
Now let’s move on to the next vendor, Skarn. He asks you to
deliver a tapestry to Salyn, headwoman of the Harpers. Knowledge +10
(Total: 465)
QUEST 2-5: Deliver a tapestry to Salyn for Skarn and return to him when
you are done.
The next booth is empty, but the one perpendicular to it, manned
by Borl is giving drinks. Accept all of the drinks he offers you.
Don't worry, you won't get drunk. He gives you a bunch of advice.
Knowledge +25 (Total: 490). You may see Parlan or Archen at the drink
booths, but they don't tell you anything important.
Next we'll talk to Taolousien, on the benches next to the drink
stand. He tells you that there are ancient caves below Fort Hold.
Knowledge +25 (Total: 515, Knowledge level increases to INFORMED)
Now talk to Malorien, on the benches next to Taolousien. He
confirms Taolousien's story and tells you the entrance is in the
kitchen. He hands you a map of the Ancient Caves.
Arrie is selling pies next to the men on the benches. She tells
you that there is a thief in the Gather and that the thief took a bunch
of pies and her map of the Gather. You both agree that your Dragonrider
uniform will scare off the thief.
QUEST 2-6: Capture the thief in the Fort Hold Gather.
Moving along past the doors, we come to the trinket stand of
Derna. She has a mining bracelet and a wooden top available. Ask her
for the top and then talk to her again and ask for the mining bracelet.
She says the mining bracelet costs three marks. Knowledge +25 (Total:
540)
QUEST 2-7: Buy the mining bracelet from Derna.
The final man in the Fort Hold courtyard is Joliad on the noisy
pottery wheel. If you talk to him, he tells you to go away. The
journal says that D'Kor thinks the potter needs a new bracket for his
wheel. Knowledge +20 (Total: 565)
Let's go into the Fountain Square before capturing the thief. The
Fountain Square is through the doors between Arrie's and Derna's stands.
We'll walk around Fountain Square clockwise.
The first important person we find is Harat. He sells HerdBeasts.
He won't lend you his HerdBeast, but he'll give you one for a baby
Tunnel Snake. Knowledge +30 (Total: 590)
QUEST 2-8: Harat wants a baby Tunnel Snake in exchange for a HerdBeast.
Next to a coach is Manwor. He tells you that one of his crew is
sick, he has sick cattle, and bandits attacked him on the way to the
Gather. He does tell you that he is good with a sword.
On a bench near the fountain is Skjald, playing a harp. D'Kor
tells him to play his music in the main square so he will get a bigger
audience. Reputation +15 (Total: 490)

The final group of people is next to the doors. They are
complaining about the size of the Gather. Stephe can't find the Llama
hair he's looking for.
QUEST 2-10: Stephe is looking for some Llama hair.
Take a look near the fountain. There should be another blue
Trundle bug running around. Capture the blue Trundle bug. (Our third
Trundle bug for Quest 1-17)
Time for a change of clothes. Change into your civilian clothes.
(You may want to save your game first.) Go back and talk to Neelet.
Agree to join the archery contest. Wait you turn and then try to hit
the yellow part of the target. If you get a ring closer to the middle
than any of the three other players attempt, you win. If one of the
other players get closer to the center than you did, you lose. When you
win, you get one mark.
Now it's back to the Fort Hold courtyard. You may again want to
do a quick save before you enter the courtyard. You should see a cut
scene of the harp player, Skjald arguing with the potter, Joliad. At
the end of the cut scene, Joliad storms off.
When you are in the courtyard dressed as a civilian, at some point
the thief will steal your knife. The thief's name is Natty. When you
attempt to talk to Natty, he will run away. A cut scene will start
where you chase Natty. He gives you your knife back and a map. You
threaten to turn him in and he teaches you how to sneak past Lamrat.
SKILL AWARDED: Stealth Skill
Talk to Skjald and he will thank you then tell you that the potter
ran off and left his wheel. Sounds like an invitation to pick up that
wheel, if you ask me.

Lamrat into the Hold. (You have to wait for Lamrat to move away before
you can sneak past him.)
QUEST 2-2 COMPLETED: Got past Lamrat to enter Fort Hold Hall.
Walk past the pillars to the large Hall. Let's walk down the
right side of the Hall. You can walk past the two men arguing in from
of Lord Gralt's doorway. The first person after them you'll run into is
Larin, in front of a statue. He will tell you he has to fix one of his
statues and he doesn't have time to uncover the other five of them.

QUEST 2-14: Move the boxes from in front of the kitchen to where Tregard
is standing.
On the stage is a man named Narak who complains that he can't get
the acoustics right in the Hall. I don't know if there is anything to
do to help him. If you know of anything to help him, please tell me.
Near the boxes blocking the kitchen, Ralliss is sweeping. She
will give you a bronze key if you talk to her. The bronze key opens are
door in Harper Hall.
Now, let's move the boxes to Tregard. All you have to do is
select the box and D'Kor will move it automatically. You get +10
Strength for every box. Reputation +15 (Total: 550) after the last box
is moved. Talk to Tregard after you move the boxes.
QUEST 2-14 COMPLETED: Tregard gives you one mark.
There's a carved wooden dragon toy under one of the boxes you
moved. Go back and pick up the toy. This is the toy Daize lost for
Quest 2-9.

tells you if you need anything, come back to him.
QUEST 1-13 COMPLETED: Reputation +30 (Total: 595)
There's no one else in the Kitchens that helps to advance the
story, but Anne is a tribute to Anne McCaffrey, the creator of the
Dragonrider stories. Exit the Kitchens and go back to the Fort Hold
Courtyard. As you approach the exit to the courtyard, Lamrat will
accost you. (You may have talked to Lamrat if you waited in the
entranceway too long.) Lamrat asks you to get the cure for the disease
going around from the Ancient Caves below Fort Hold. Accept his quest
and he will tell you that you need a light source to enter the caves.
QUEST 2-15: Lamrat wants you to retrieve the disease's cure from the
Ancient Caves below Fort Hold. Knowledge +25 (Total: 705)
Now go outside and visit Derna again. Buy the miner's bracelet,
since you now have enough money. We could go back, talk to Lamrat and
enter the Ancient Caves, but let's do some other things first. Go back
to the Fountain Square and give the toy dragon we found in the Grand
Hall back to Daize.
QUEST 2-7 COMPLETED: Mining bracelet purchased.
QUEST 2-9 COMPLETED: Kastalla gives you carving of Fort Hold's Harper.
Reputation +20 (Total: 615)
Go back to the Fort Hold courtyard and call Zenth. It's time for
our second viewing of the travel movie. Tell Zenth to take you to
Mastersmith Hall. You change back to your Dragonrider clothes when you
land, but that's all right because we won't need the civilian’s clothes
again until Chapter 4.
In the pond next to where you landed, you will see some shells
zipping around. These are oysters. If you shoot them with the
crossbow, they will open. When you pick up an open oyster, you will
either get an edible oyster or a pearl. I did not find a pearl in any
of the oysters at Mastersmith Hall, but I think it is possible to find
one here.
Run past the large building and the windmill until you see two men
sitting on a mining cart. Talk to both of these men, Rellat and Nisan.
Rellat will tell you that there has been an increase in the demand for
ore and a decrease in the available supply. Rellat thinks that someone
is taking the ore for a big project.
Nisan notices your mining bracelet and offers to teach you the
mining skill. Accept his offer and he will tell you that you need to
find a pickaxe to break open hidden seams.
SKILL AWARDED: Mining skill.

on his windmill is stuck and the sails on the windmill are missing.

FORMIDABLE strength to move the lever.
Head back towards the main building we past earlier. In the
standing rocks in front of that building, you will find Guy. Guy has
lost his pickaxe. Knowledge +10 (Total: 715)
QUEST 2-17: Find Guy's pickaxe.
The pickaxe is lying on one of the large rocks near where you talk
to Guy. You'll have to walk around the stones to find it. Give the
pickaxe back to Guy. (We'll find another pickaxe to use for our mining
skill soon.)
QUEST 2-17 COMPLETED: Guy gives you a sword. Knowledge +25 (Total:

Now we will finally enter the large building. You will find Govan
on entering the Workshops. Talk to him and he will tell you to go away.
Knowledge +35 (Total: 765)
Next in the shop is Forn. He asks you if you have any artifacts.
If you give him an artifact, he will upgrade a weapon for you. You have
two ancient artifacts, so give both of them to Forn. He will give you
two knife upgrades for your two artifacts. (You have to talk to him once
for each artifact.) Knowledge +25 (Total: 790)
In the back of the Workshop, you will find Klor. Talk to him and
he will remove the bracket from the pottery wheel and fix the pottery
wheel (needed for QUEST 2-3). If you talk to Klor again, he will tell
you that he dislikes Govan.
Leave the Workshops and go back to where you talked to Nisan.
There should be a pickaxe next to the cart they were sitting on. Here's
the pickaxe you needed. We're now done with Mastersmith Hall, for the
time being, so call Zenth and go back to Fort Weyr. (You don't have to
go back to the landing zone, you can call Zenth from right next to
Nisan.) This is our third jump with Zenth.
Back at Fort Weyr, drop your blue Trundle bug off with Jillan.
Reputation +25 (Total: 655).
Enter the Dark Caves from the entrance that used to be boarded up.
Across from the entrance you smashed to get to the bridge is a rock
seam. Hit the seam with your pickaxe to open it. Behind the wall,
you'll find a medicinal brew.
Now go into Fort Weyr, the Lower Levels. Enter the Dark Caves
from here. You should see Gethen looking at the metal door. Go through
the metal door and up the passage way to the next seam. Break this seam
and you will find a Tunnel Snake egg. Note: If you go too far up the
passageway, you will have to fight a Tunnel Snake.

bracket. Talk to Joliad again and give him his wheel back.

it to Stephe. He will offer you a bundle of Flax for it. Since we need
Flax for Roma's feast, accept his offer.

you to the entrance of the Ancient Caves. He will give you the key to
the caves. Run down the corridor and take the first tunnel on the left.
You will get a cut scene of a giant Tunnel Snake. D'Kor will say he
needs a bigger weapon. We already have the weapon, we just need the
skill to use it. Go to Manwor in the Fountain Square to get this skill.
(If you don't want to see the cut scene, get this skill right after you
pick up the pies.)
Manwor will teach you the sword skill if you agree to make the

QUEST 2-18 COMPLETED: SKILL AWARDED: Sword Skill
QUEST 2-27: Make Lord Gralt pay the traders the agreed amount even

Now go back to the Stores and Kitchens and use Lamrat's key to
enter the Ancient Caves. Select the mining bracelet and activate it.
This will give you some extra green light. (Save your game here.) Again
go down the tunnel and take a left. Kill the Tunnel Snake. You get +20
to Strength for killing the Tunnel Snake.
Continue down the tunnel guarded by the now dead Tunnel Snake.
You will come to a room with a shaky looking rock bridge. Run across
it, but the bridge will collapse and you will be dropped to the bottom.
You will end up in a pool of water. There's another Tunnel Snake in the
water, so be prepared. Near the dead Tunnel Snake, there's a rock you
can climb up.
Jump to the second rock and you will see a Wherry. The Wherry
will attack you, so kill it with your sword. You get +50 for killing
the Wherry. (If the Wherry hits you, you will lose a significant
portion of your health.) Climb up to the tunnel and enter it. You will
find another Tunnel Snake in the corridor. Kill it and continue on.
You will come to another bridge, which you can safely cross. Guess
what, you'll meet another Tunnel Snake on the other side of the bridge.
At the fork, take the tunnel to the left, kill the next Tunnel
Snake and you will eventually get to another rock landing. (The tunnel
to the right will take you back to the collapsed bridge and another
Tunnel Snake.) A Wherry will fly over an attack you. Kill it and start
jumping rocks. (Watch out, there's an herb on the platform that D'Kor
would rather pick up than fight the Wherry.)
Enter the next tunnel and kill the next Tunnel Snake. Keep going
and at the fork, take the right and kill the next Tunnel Snake. You
can't go any further down this passage, so go back to the tunnel on the
left. You will go down a ramp and be at a stream. There are two paths
to the left and right each of which takes you up to stone. You have to
push the stones into the water and then hop across the stones to get to
the next tunnel. You get +10 Strength for pushing each stone. (By the
way, this is not a bad place to hop rocks and get the next Strength
level or even FORMIDABLE Strength.)
After your rock jumping fun, climb up to the next tunnel. Follow
the tunnel to the Wherry. Kill the Wherry, and the door behind the
Wherry will open. Enter the door and you are now in the Metal Cave.
When you enter the cave, the door behind you will slam shut. Turn
to your left and follow walk behind the boxes. You should see a metal
pipe resting against the crates. Take the pipe and move to the next
door on you right. When you approach the door, the door should open
slightly. Use the pipe on the half open door to open it completely.
You may have to move around to get the action to trigger. Enter the
door and you'll be in some kind of computer room. Between the third and
fourth computer console, you will find a strangely textured skin. Take
the skin and read it. It gives you the safe entry code. Now walk to
the top of the ramp near the door. Facing the door, turn to your left.
You should see a grate on the floor. Select the grate, and D'Kor should
open it. Enter the grate, and you will be in some kind of storage room.
There will be another skin on the floor. This skin will have the door
entry code. Once you have read the skin, D'Kor should be able to use
the keypad next to the door. Open the door to the storage room to get
back to the first room in the Metal Cave. Go to the only door you
haven't entered you and activate the keypad. Then walk to the door and
the door should open.
In this new room, there will be a safe on the left. If you've
looked at the safe skin, D'Kor will open the safe. Inside the safe are
another an ancient artifact and the skin for Lamrat. Now walk to the
table and move it. Activate it again and D'Kor will climb on the table
and open the vent. D'Kor will automatically climb out of the vent and
end up back in the Ancient Caves.
There will be a nice Tunnel Snake waiting for you when you arrive.
Kill it and go down the tunnel it was guarding. You will arrive at a
rock bridge. You can safely run across the bridge. Across this bridge,
you will climb another tunnel to a ledge you can walk across. There
will be a new tunnel across the ledge. Part way up this tunnel, there
will be a rock seam you can break with your pickaxe. Behind this wall
is a Wherry egg, medicinal brew, and a drum pattern. D'Kor says that
the drum pattern looks similar to the one the scribe gave to him.
Knowledge +10 (Total: 1190)
QUEST 2-28: Take the ancient drum pattern to Tinossi.
Back in the tunnel, there will be another Tunnel Snake around the
bend. After dispatching the snake, follow the tunnel to the top. You
will find a boulder at the top. Push the boulder and jump down. You
should be almost at FORMIDABLE Strength by now, if you aren't already
there. Do some rock climbing until you get FORMIDABLE Strength.
Next to the tunnel in the lower chamber is another rock seam.
Behind this seam are a Tunnel Snake egg, 10 more bug darts, an herb, and
the ballad the Kilimi is trying to remember. (You can find the ballad
here or in the Fort Weyr Library.) Walk straight down the tunnel and
you'll be at the door back to Fort Hold. Open the door and in a cut
scene, Lamrat will take the cure from you.
QUEST 2-15 COMPLETED: Gave the cure to the disease to Lamrat.
Talk to Jak in the kitchen and he will heat the pies up for you.
Head back to Healer Hall with the warm pies. As you run down the Great
Hall, Zenth tells you that K'tan is dying. You are brought back to
Healer Hall. Give the pies to Merrick. Merrick will pull you into the
back of Healer Hall and he gives you a warning about the sickness. He
tells you that you need to go to Ista Island.
QUEST 2-26 COMPLETED: Get food for the sick in Healer Hall. Knowledge

There’s a medicinal brew in the back room of Healer Hall. You can
only get the brew if the woman, <name> is not in the room. Talk to
K'tan then exit Healer Hall and go to see Tinossi. Tinossi will take
the drum pattern so she can show it to Hered.
QUEST 2-28 COMPLETED: Tinossi takes the drum pattern says she will give
it to Hered. Reputation +30 (Total: 1035) (Tinossi will never tell you
anything more about the pattern.)
Exit Harper Hall and go back to Fort Hold. You will see a cut
scene of Branth, K'tan's dragon, committing suicide. (This means that
K'tan has died.) This also means that Chapter 2 is complete.
At the end of Chapter 2, my attribute statistics are:

Chapter 3 starts after the cut scene of the Branth jumping Between
and ends when D'Kor leaves for Ista Island.
After Branth jumps, Zenth tells you that Lord Gralt wants to see
you and that S'lon in Fort Weyr wants to know what happened. Since Lord
Gralt is in Fort Hold, let's visit him first.
Go to Lord Gralt's Room off of the Grand Hall of Fort Hold. He
will tell you more of the disease and of a conspiracy against your Weyr.
D'Kor asks Lord Gralt to help Manwor and the rest of the traders.

Now go back to the Fort Hold Courtyard. We're going back to Fort
Weyr. WARNING - Once you leave Fort Hold, all the traders will leave.
If you still need to talk with one of them, now is your last chance. END
OF WARNING.
As you leave, Lamrat stops you and tells you that he overheard a
conversation that between S'lon and another person. He said that he
thinks S'lon is trying to poison S'bor. Lamrat gives you a letter to
give to V'hul.
QUEST 3-1: Give Lamrat’s letter to V’hul.
Ride on Zenth to the Fort Weyr. Before advancing talking to S’bor
and advancing the plot, we need to work on some of the side quests.
First, go up the ramp in the Fort Weyr Bowl where we pushed the rock and
found the ancient artifact. When you reach the top, you should see a
cut scene of Jim and Helan talking. Listen to Helan when she asks if
she can tell you something. At the end of the conversation, Helan will
give you a Wherry egg. Reputation +30 (Total: 1105)

Behind this house is a well. Activate the well and you will get a fire-
lizard egg. (Thank you to everybody who told me about this!) If you
activate the wheel again, you will get 10 darts. If you activate the
wheel again, you will get an amusing conversation between Zenth and
D’Kor.
Since we now have FORMIDABLE strength, run across the bridge to
the windmill. Pull the lever and the gate in the back of the windmill
will open. There are 10 more darts inside.

Fort Hold and then to Ista Island. The cut scene ends with you in your
room. Knowledge +100 (Total: 1415).
You can hatch the fire-lizard egg before you leave. You will get

the Middle Levels, you will give Lamrat’s letter to V’hul.
QUEST 3-1 COMPLETED: Reputation +25 (Total: 1155)
Take Zenth to Fort Hold. (Yeah! The wormhole section of the video
is gone!) When you land a cut scene discussion between you and Lamrat
will start. At the end of the scene, Levitt appears, but all he will
tell you if you talk to him is that all the traders have returned to
Ista.
Next we should go to Harper Hall. When you arrive there, you will
see a cut scene of Lord Gralt entering the Harper Hall Kitchens. Take
that as a cue to follow him. In the kitchen, a cut scene will start
with Lord Gralt. He tells you that the Master Healer is back in Healer

***************************************************
**** CHAPTER 4 - Going to sleep on Ista Island ****
***************************************************
Chapter 4 starts after the dragon jump cut scene and ends when you
finally go to sleep on Ista Island.
You will see N’eth and S’lon standing on the beach when you land.
Talk to both of them to advance the plot a little. You are supposed to
find a place for the three of you to sleep.
QUEST 4-1: Find a place to sleep on Ista Island.
Walk to the ocean, between the two rocky projections. You should
see a bunch of shells zipping around. If you shoot them, they will
open. When you collect them, you will get either a pearl or an edible
oyster. Keep shooting oysters until you get one with a pearl. I’ve
always gotten the pearl on the first oyster I shot here. You can try to
activate the dolphin nearby, but Zenth will tell you that you need to be
a GENIUS to understand what the dolphin is saying.
Sitting on the left rock wall is a man fishing. Talk to the man,
Hammit, and he will give you a map of Ista Hold. Now walk of the rock
wall and continue straight until you hit the side of the semi-circular
building. To your right should be a break in the rocks with a reddish
herb. When you pick it, you will find the Featherfern that Roma
requested. There are also three other unknown green herbs, so make sure
you get the Featherfern.
On the other side of the semi-circular building is a grave with
some flowers on it. When you pick of the flowers, you will get a cut
scene with Kiristi. She will tell you that her grandfather Gannell’s
tomb has been worn away by the weather. She asks you to get a new
headstone and figure out what the inscription said. Knowledge +25
(Total: 1500), Reputation +25 (Total: 1175)
QUEST 4-2: Get a new headstone and the find inscription for Kiristi.
You can walk up the ramp and enter the semi-circular building, but
all that is in there are 10 bug catching darts and a medicinal brew.
Now walk down the beach on the same side as Kiristi and the grave.
You should see two men on the beach to the left of the main path. You
can talk to H’tem and K’larn, if you wish.
It’s time to enter Ista Hold. In Ista Hold, there are a number of
houses we can or will be able to enter. The doors to these houses have
a white doorframe. The houses that we are unable to enter have a brown
doorframe. You should be able to distinguish the two door types easily,
once you know to look for them.
From the beach go up the path to the right of the Ista
Dragonriders. Follow the path until the ground flattens out. There
should be a man to the right next to some stables. Talk to the man,
Drakk. He tells you that the diseased cattle do not come from Ista.
Knowledge +50 (Total: 1550)
QUEST 4-3: Find out where the diseased cattle come from.
On the opposite side of the rode from Drakk are some cottages.
Enter the first one from the road. You will find Moria and Laria in the
house. Laria will tell you that Moria’s parents, Keriil and Hellion,
have disappeared. Reputation +20 (Total: 1195)
QUEST 4-4: Find Keriil and Hellion (You won’t be able to complete this
Quest until Chapter 8.)
Back outside, you may see a woman, Loretta walking around. She
will tell you that her husband Joseph went to investigate some noises
from the other side of the mountain and never came back.
QUEST 4-5: Find Joseph. (You won’t be able to complete this quest until
Chapter 8.)
Follow the trail around the bend to the Dawn Sisters. You will
see Sam and Ralf outside. Talk to Ralf and he will tell you that his
brothers have gone missing. Knowledge +50 (Total: 1600)
Talk to Sam and he will tell you that dragon riders are not
allowed into the Dawn Sisters. Change into your civilian clothes and
Sam will let you enter. Talk to Gamut inside and buy the drink he
offers. He tells you that the herd shipments come to Ista Beach first
thing in the morning. Knowledge +10 (Total: 1610) No one else in the bar
has anything useful to tell you.
Exit the Dawn Sisters and change back to your dragon rider
costume. Continue down the street and you will see a villager pushing
at a door. Talk to the villager and he will tell you that the door to
his house is stuck. Push the door open for him and he will let you take
an item from his house. You’ll find a medicinal brew on the bookshelf.
Leaving the house, continue up the road to the Rising Star Inn.
Watch the road though. It can some times be a little tricky to follow
the turn of the road just before the inn. Talk to Foral on the roof of
the inn. He will tell you to enter, so take his advice.
Enter the Rising Star Inn. Inside, talk to Matrice, the owner.
She will tell you to come back later and she’ll see what rooms are
available.
Go back outside again and continue walking up the road. The first
house you come across will have a villager sitting behind a box. Talk
to him and he will ask you a riddle. The answer is “Between”. Inside
of his house, there are 10 darts.
Go back on the road and continue until you reach the next upward
curve. Enter the house just before the curve and talk to Roem’s father.
He will tell you his daughter if very sick and ask you to help her.
QUEST 4-6: Cure Roem. (Even though Zenth said the situation is urgent,
you can’t help Roem until Chapter 5, so there’s no need for a trip to
Healer Hall right now.)
Exit the house and continue up the road. Enter the last house
before you reach the Harper Drumming Platform. Inside, you should find
Maria, Siral’s wife. Talk to her and give her the pearl Siral gave you.
QUEST 2-25 COMPLETED: Maria becomes a Weyrwoman candidate. Knowledge +50
(Total: 1660), Reputation +100 (Total: 1295)
Return back to the Rising Star Inn and watch a cut scene with
Matrice. She will tell you that a man named Holin just left without
paying his bill. Knowledge +25 (Total: 1685)
QUEST 4-7: Find Holin and get him to pay his bill.
Exit the Rising Star Inn and enter the Dawn Sisters (changing to
your civilian clothes, if necessary.) Talk to Gamut to get some more
information on Holin. Exit the Dawn Sisters and head back up the hill,
past the Rising Star Inn. When you get to the alley between two houses,
you’ll see a cut scene of Holin and two of his lackeys harassing a man.
Walk towards Holin and you will get another cut scene. Select the
“teach you some manners” option and you’ll start a fight. I think
you’re supposed to use your fist in the fight, but if you hit him with
the sword, he’ll go down in one swing. After the fight, he will hand
you some money and all four of the people will run off.
Return with the money to Matrice in the Rising Star Inn.
QUEST 4-7 COMPLETED: Matrice gives you a free room to sleep in.
Reputation +50 (Total: 1345)
Exit the Inn and head down the hill. You will find Sorian, the
man who was getting beaten up, next to the Ista Supply house. Talk to
him and he will ask you to restore his reputation. If you agree to help
him, he will tell you that you need to get Holin’s dice and show them to
Gamut in the Dawn Sisters. Knowledge +10 (Total: 1695), Reputation +50
(Total: 1375)
QUEST 4-8: Restore Sorian’s reputation by exposing Holin.
Now run back up to the hill to where you answered the villager’s </pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
riddle. Just past his house will be a pile of rocks and some barrels.
Pick up the rock and move towards the barrels until you see the Sneak
icon. Enter sneak mode to see a cut scene of Holin and his friends.
Knowledge +25 (Total: 1720)
You might want to save now, because the next part is a little
tricky. (Or at least it was for me. It took me a couple of times to
get it right the first time.) Anyway, standing where you are with the
Sneak icon, ready the rock you picked up and use it. You should see a
cut scene of Holin telling his friends to investigate it. After the cut
scene, you have to sneak towards Holin. Keep sneaking until you are
right on top of him. Only then can you use the grab icon to grab his
dice off of him. (Remember that you are outside, so the default
movement action is to run. You will need to hold down the run / walk
toggle, the insert key on the PC, and simultaneously press the action
key, the space bar on the PC, to enter stealth mode.)
Once you have the dice, run down the hill and enter the Dawn
Sisters. You’ll have to be wearing your civilian clothes to enter the
pub. Talk to Gamut behind the counter to clear Sorian’s name and get
some plot information.
QUEST 4-8 COMPLETED: You get Holin’s loaded dice. Knowledge +10 (Total:
1730), Reputation +50 (Total: 1425)
It’s time to go to sleep and end this chapter. Go back to your
room in the Rising Star and select the bed to go to sleep (leaving the
door wide open.)
At the end of Chapter 4, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 1730 level - CLEVER, Reputation: 1425 Level - OF GOOD
STANDING, Strength: 1400 Level – FORMIDABLE
We made 0 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 7 jumps in
the game so far.
**************************************************
**** CHAPTER 5 - Getting into the hidden cove ****
**************************************************
Chapter 5 starts when you wake up after your night on Ista Island
and ends when you get in the Smuggler's Cove.
You start this chapter in your room at the Rising Star Inn. Go
upstairs and talk to Matrice. She will tell you that Belan, Nalaya’s
old lover, is staying in the room next to yours. Knowledge +25 (Total:
1755)
Go down and enter his room to start an interesting cut scene.
Knowledge +50 (Total: 1805, Knowledge increases level to Sharp)
Exit the Inn and go up to the Harper Drumming Platform. Talk to
N’eth and Terrol. Give Terrol the Harper statue, when he asks for it.
He will let you take anything from the Ista Supplies shop in exchange.
Reputation +20 (Total: 1445)
Run down to the Supplies shop and pick up the citron fruit lying
on the counter. Search all of the bookshelves. You should find a
medicinal brew, 10 darts and a Sweatroot herb. The Sweatroot herb will
be listed as an unknown herb for the time being.
Leave the shop and talk to the Drudge standing in the house across
the street. He will thank you for getting rid of Holin and complain
that he can’t open his door. Reputation +15 (Total: 1460)
Push on the door to open it for the Drudge. He will let you take
anything you want in return. You will find 10 darts on a table.
Now head down the street and enter the Ista Tapestries store.
Talk to Hela inside. She will ask to look at your tapestry (from
Skarn). Let her look at it and she will tell you that Nalaya’s family
lives at the bottom of the hill. She also tells you to come back later.
Take this cue to run down the hill. You will see a wagon near
Drakk and his animals. There will also be two more men near Drakk.
Approach the men to see a cut scene. The two men are Faran and Manwor
from the Gather. They will head to the Dawn Sisters after the cut
scene.
Run back to the road and keep running straight past the first
house. At the second house, you will see Doorin outside. Talk to him
and he will bring you inside to meet his wife Mantrel and his daughter
Janifer. (Mantrel is Nalaya’s sister, in case you were wondering.) At
the end of the conversation, Zenth will tell you that he thinks Janifer
would make a good Weyrwoman. Talk to Janifer and she will become a
Weyrwoman candidate. (You ask her to be a Weyrwoman candidate even
though you just swore to Doorin that you wouldn’t take his daughter.
Your reputation even goes up for your lie to Doorin!) Knowledge +50
(Total: 1855), Reputation +100 (Total: 1560)
Now go back and enter the Rising Star. (Make sure you are wearing
you civilian clothes before you try to enter.) You’ll find Manwor and
Faran at a table opposite the bar. Talk to them and they will tell you
that they have something from Lamrat that they are supposed to deliver
to the Green dragon rider. It does not matter how you answer them when
they ask if you are the dragon rider they are to deliver the message to.
Knowledge +50 (Total: 1905)
QUEST 5-1: Get the cure from Manwor.
Exit the Dawn Sisters and head up the hill. You should run into
N’eth coming down the hill. Talk to him and he will agree to get the
cure from Manwor and Faran. You have to talk to him again in front of
the Dawn Sisters before he will go in and get the cure. N’eth will take
a while to get the cure, so we can move on the other things.
Go back and talk to Hela in the Ista Tapestries shop. Since we
are OF GOOD STANDING, she will give us some heavy canvas.
Run back down to the beach and talk the Hammit, fishing on the
rock wall. He will ask you to push his fishing boat into the water.
D’Kor is strong enough for the task, so go to the boat closest to the
rock wall and give it a push. (Strength +10) Return to Hammit and he
will give you a bottle of wine. Reputation +20 (Total: 1580)
It seems that going to Ista Beach is the trigger needed for N’eth
to get the cure. Run back up to the Rising Star Inn. You will find
N’eth in front of the Inn. Talk to him and he will give you the cure.
QUEST 5-1 COMPLETED: You have the cure, again.
Head back down towards Ista Beach. Zenth should tell you that
Salyn at Harper Hall wishes to speak with you. Knowledge +10 (Total:
1915) Go to Ista Beach. Time to leave Ista Island. Call Zenth and jump
to Fort Hold for our eighth jump.
It’s nighttime again when you land at Fort Hold. Head over to
Harper Hall and go downstairs to the kitchen. You should find Salyn
there. Talk to her and she will tell you that Ista Island’s Harper is
ready to meet with you, but you have to summon the Harper with a drum
pattern. She gives you the drum pattern and tells you to talk with the
instrument maker to get a drum.
QUEST 5-2: Find a Harper drum.
Leave the kitchen and go to the second floor of Harper Hall. Run
to the barracks and you will find Limoriad sleeping. Talk to him and he
will tell you that the only drum he has needs a new skin. Run back to
the kitchen and talk with Kelli. She will tell you that all of her drum
skins will take a few days to cure. Go back to the barracks and you
should find a sleeping man across from Limoriad. Wake him (his name is
Yallen) and he will give you the skin. Go back and talk to Limoriad.
After some grumbling, he will give you a drum.
QUEST 5-2 COMPLETED: You have a working drum.
Now go down to the Healer Hall and talk with Jazon. Give him the
cure. He will teach you the Healing Skill. Jazon will then run off.
QUEST 3-2 COMPLETED: Healing Skill Acquired. Reputation +100 (Total:
1680, Reputation increases level to DEPENDABLE)
It’s time for our ninth jump back to Ista Island. Run back to
Fort Hold and take Zenth to Ista. At Ista, run up the hill and enter
Roem’s house. Talk to Roem’s father. With your new Healing skill and
the Sweatroot you picked up from Ista Supplies, you should be able to
help Roem. Roem’s Father tells you to come back later. Knowledge +50
(Total: 1965), Reputation +20 (Total: 1700)
Exit the house and go to the Harper Drumming Platform at the top
of the hill. Use the drum when you are on the Platform, and Fin will
appear. He will tell you that the Harper will meet you on the beach in
one hour. Knowledge +25 (Total: 1990)
Go back to Roem’s house and Roem will be healed. Talk to her and
she will become a Weyrwoman candidate.
QUEST 4-6 COMPLETED: Roem becomes a Weyrwoman candidate. Knowledge +50
(Total: 2040), Reputation +100 (Total: 1800)
Now go back to the Rising Star Inn and check on Belan. Foral will
now be guarding the room. Talk to him and he will tell you that Belan
left fifteen minutes earlier with another dragon rider. Knowledge +50
(Total: 2090)
Enter Belan’s room and search the trunk near his bed. You will
find a map to the Smuggler’s Cove and some heavy crossbow bolts. Leave
the Rising Star Inn. Outside of the Inn, you will find S’lon. He will
tell you that N’eth is missing. You accuse him of being a traitor.
Knowledge +25 (Total: 2115)
QUEST 5-3: Find N’eth
Head down the hill and towards the beach. Save your game before
you enter the canyon. When you get to the end of the canyon, Holin and
his thugs will ambush you. After a brief cut scene, you with have to
face both of the thugs before you can get Holin. This fight can be a
little challenging because you have to reset your fighting stance after
killing each person. When you reset your stance, you leave yourself
vulnerable for a couple of seconds. The camera angle for this fight
also seems particular bad. If you successfully attack Holin, you will
get a cut scene and you can continue on your way to the beach. (When I
say reset your fighting stance, I mean you have to release select key,
the space bar on the PC, and the press the select key again.)
On Ista Beach, if you run to the landing area, you will see a
familiar character. This is the Harper. The Harper will show you a
group of three men you should talk to. The men are Jurinor, Fillian,
and Jorak. Talk to Jurinor first. He will tell you that the cattle are
not from Ista and that there is a strange ship called the Clear Endeavor
sailing the seas. He recommends that you find this ship. Knowledge +50
(Total: 2165) Jorak will tell you that there are some strange people
around Ista recently, mostly up in the village. Knowledge +10 (Total:
2175) Finally, Fillian won’t give you any information unless you know
how to play dice.
To learn how to play dice, we need to talk with a gambling expert.
The only expert we know is B’rak who’s back in Fort Hold. Call Zenth
for our tenth jump. Talk to B’rak when you land. He will tell you that
to roll a high number, keep your palm up. To roll a low number, keep
your palm down. Never win a 3 mark bet more than twice, never win a 2
mark bet more than 3 times, and never win any bet more than 4 times. He
also lets you sell him items for marks. I always sell the two plas film
items from the Ancient Caves for 2 marks each. Knowledge +25 (Total:
2200)
There’s nothing else to do at Fort Hold, so we can call Zenth and
take our eleventh trip back to Ista Hold. Back on Ista, talk to Fillian
again. You will sit down to play a game of Blind Man Shards. You may
want to save your game before you begin the game. Use the knowledge you
got from B’rak to beat Fillian. NOTE: Just because you set yourself up
to roll a high number, doesn’t mean that you will win the three mark bet
every time. Also, just because you set the dice to roll a low number
doesn’t mean that you will lose a one mark bet every time.
After you win somewhere between 10 and 12 marks, Fillian will tell
you that N’eth is probably in the deserted cove behind Ista Hold. He
says you will have to find the back entrance into the cove to sneak in
undetected. (If you are caught cheating, you will give Fillan his money
back and he will refuse to talk to you.) Knowledge +50 (Total: 2250)
Talk to the Harper and you will tell the Harper want you learned.
The Harper tells you that there are secret tunnels leading to the cove
from the village, but the Harper doesn’t know where they are. The
Harper says that you should ask someone else farther up the hill about
suspicious characters. Knowledge +10 (Total: 2260)
QUEST 5-4: Find and enter the Smuggler’s Cove
We could go into the Smuggler’s Cove right now, but let’s take a
little detour. We have to visit the Mastersmith Hall two more times to
get Kiristi’s tomb stone, so let’s make one of those visits now. This
will let us get a sword upgrade as well. Call Zenth and take him for
our twelfth trip to Mastersmith Hall.
Talk to Guy first. He said he was a stone mason, so he should be
able to make Kiristi’s Cairn stone. The epitaph you need for Gannell is
located in the Fort Weyr Library. (I hope you read this scroll
earlier.) He will ask you for 5 marks to do the job. If you agree to
his price, he will tell you to come back for the headstone later.
Knowledge +25 (Total: 2285)
Now go and talk to the Miller near the broken windmill. You will
give him the heavy canvas that you hold. Once you do, pull the lever to
start the windmill. A side panel of the windmill with opens to revel
another fire-lizard egg. I think this is the bronze fire-lizard.
QUEST 2-16 COMPLETED: Reward is the fire-lizard egg.
Go into the workshops and talk to Forn twice. He should upgrade
your knife and sword with the two artifacts that you carry. After this,
we can call Zenth and go back to Ista Island. This will be our lucky
thirteenth jump.
On Ista Island, run up to the where Sorian’s house is shown on the
map. Right across the street from his house is another house. If you
knock on the door of that house, a man tells you to go away. After he
does this, Sorian opens the door to his house and motions you to come
in. He agrees to distract the men while you break into the house.
After the cut scene with Sorian ends, you should probably do a quick
save. Then exit his house and Sorian will walk to the side of the
target house. Talk to him and then enter the dark opening where the
boxes use to be.
Always sneak around while you inside this house. If you get
caught here, a man will beat you up and throw you outside. Anyway, when
you are inside, wait for Sorian to knock on the door. When he does,
sneak up behind the men at the door. One of them has the key to the
trap door. Steal the key and use it on the trap door. This will open
the trap door and lead you to the Smuggler’s Cove and the end of this
chapter.
QUEST 5-4 COMPLETED: Entered the Smuggler’s Cove
At the end of Chapter 5, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 2285 level - SHARP, Reputation: 1800 Level DEPENDABLE,
Strength: 1410 Level – FORMIDABLE
We made 6 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 13 jumps in
the game so far.
*************************************
**** CHAPTER 6 - Smuggler’s Cove ****
*************************************
Chapter 6 starts with the Smuggler's Cave and ends when you get
sent back to Ierne Island.
When you enter Smuggler’s Cove, you will get a long cut scene of
D’Kor and Zenth talking. Watch the cut scene because it will show you
the location of all the smugglers and the layout of the cave. The cut
scene will tell you that N’eth is staked down on the sand and the tide
is coming in.
QUEST 6-1: Rescue N’eth. (This Quest is on a timer, so you can’t take
too long to rescue N’eth or he will die.)
I think you are supposed to be able to sneak through this area
undetected, but I’ve never been able to successfully do that. I’ve also
had to fight every person in the Smuggler’s Cove from the entrance until
you reach N’eth. On the plus side, you do get +80 Strength for each man
you kill, not that you really need it at this point. Most of Smuggler’s
Cove is pretty straightforward. There’s only really one path with a
couple of parallel branches. That being said, I’ll still guide you
through this area.
From the entrance, run straight out and follow the path to the
right. One of the smugglers will probably see you and attack. There’s
nothing in the room he came from, so you don’t have to look. Stay on
the walkway and then follow it in to the stone tunnel. At the end of
the tunnel you should be on a downward stone ramp. Go down the ramp
until it ends at an inaccessible house, and then take the lower road
back to a big complex. Enter the complex and take the first right you
can. Follow the walkway you are on and don’t take any left turns unless
there is no other option. There are three men in the complex and you
may still be forced to fight them. There’s nothing in the complex, so
you don’t have to double back and check.
Anyway, follow the walkway until it brings you back into the
complex. You should be able to take a left or a right. Take the right
and you should end up on a dock area where you can take a right onto the
pier and a left into another building. Somewhere around here Zenth
should tell you to hurry because N’eth doesn’t have much time left.
Enter the building and follow the passageway to the end. There should
be tunnels leading off to the right and the left from here. Take the
right hand tunnel and you should be at the top of a series of ledges
with an egg on a lower ledge. Jump down all of the ledges past the egg.
You’re on a timer here to save N’eth, so don’t pick up the egg yet. At
the bottom of the ledges, you should see N’eth lying on the sand. When
you select him, you will get a cut scene of you rescuing N’eth.
QUEST 6-1 COMPLETED: N’eth freed
After rescuing N’eth, climb back up the first ledge and take the
egg. We now have Roma’s fourth Tunnel Snake egg. Climb back up all of
the ledges until you reach the original passageway. Take the tunnel we
skipped and you should be in a room with dying cattle and a dead man.
The dead man is Belan. Select him and you should get the brooch that he
showed you earlier. Now make your way back to the dock. At the end of
the pier is the ship, the Clear Endeavor. The captain is guarding the
entrance to the ship. You have a couple of options on how to sneak onto
the ship. You can walk up to the boxes on the dock, enter sneak mode,
and walk around the captain. (Make sure you walk behind the captain, not
in front of him.) Alternately, you can switch to your civilian clothes,
select and activate the brooch, then talk your way past the captain. If
the captain sees you and you are not in civilian clothes and wearing the
brooch, the captain will try to attack you. Don’ try to fight him,
because he will kill you before you get a chance to defend yourself.
You can run back to the dock and the captain will reset himself. I’ve
heard that after the captain has chased you once, he will completely
ignore you on your second attempt.
Either path you chose, you will be on the Clear Endeavor. You will get
a cut scene of the ship leaving the harbor. When you regain control of
D’Kor, you will be in the cargo hold. The only thing you have to do
while on the Clear Endeavor is to catch the green Trundle bug that’s
running around. There should also be another 10 bug catching darts near
where you started. After a few moments, a cabin boy will appear and
wander around the ship’s hold. If you hide from him, he will eventually
leave and the ship will dock. If he sees you, you will either have to
kill him or bribe him so he won’t raise an alarm. If you bride him, you
will lose 3 marks and gain Reputation +20 (Total: 1820)
After the cabin boy incident, you will get a cut scene of the
Clear Endeavor docking. At the end of the scene, D’Kor will be standing
on a dock.
QUEST 4-3 COMPLETED: You now know where the diseased cattle come from.
Welcome to Ierne Island. You can either get through the next
section with a lot of fighting or with none. I personally don’t feel
like doing a bunch of unnecessary fighting. If you call Zenth now, he
will tell you he can not land while the Clear Endeavor is still docked.
The ship will leave when you climb the ramp to the plateau. The only
thing on Ierne Beach to collect is another Trundle bug, which you can’t
do right now because you already have a green Trundle bug. So, all you
have to do right now is run past the captain and then keep close to the
rock wall on the left. If you hug the left wall, you should get to the
ramp without having to fight anyone. Climb the ramp and you will see a
cut scene of the ship leaving. There’s not much else we can do here, so
call Zenth and head back to Fort Weyr.
When you call Zenth to leave, you will get a cut scene about the
island before arriving at Fort Weyr. After our fourteenth jump, we get
to do the Fort Weyr run again. Go across to bridge towards Ramalla’s
cottage. You should see Helan playing around here. (If you don’t she
should be somewhere in the Bowl.) Talk to her and she will give you an
ancient artifact. Reputation +30 (Total: 1850)
Now run to the Fort Weyr doors and talk to Jillan. Give him the
fourth Trundle bug. Reputation +30 (Total: 1880).
Go to the Middle Levels of Fort Weyr and talk with Emmara. She
will ask you who served at the Food Stall during the Gather. The answer
is “Arrie”. Reputation +25 (Total: 1905)
Talk to Emmara again and she will tell you that she is weaving the
fruits of Ista Island into the tapestry. She asks you if you have a
citron fruit. You give her yours from the Ista Supplies shop.
Reputation +25 (Total: 1930) Talk to Emmara a third time and she will
ask you what is the fishermen’s favorite catch in Ista Island. The
answer is “fingerfish”. Reputation +40 (Total: 1970)
Now that we’ve caught Emmara up on all her quests, it’s time to
give Lytah her pearl. Walk to her room and talk to her. Take the
conversation option, “Lytah, I must go” if you don’t feel like being
scolded by Zenth.
QUEST 1-6 COMPLETED: Gave pearl to Lytah. Reputation +30 (Total: 2000)
Next go to the Kitchens and pay Roma a visit. You will give Roma
a Tunnel Snake egg, a bunch of Featherfern, and a bottle of rare wine.
Time to advance the plot, so run up to the Upper Levels and talk
to S’bor. S’bor will tell you to go and find V’hul and S’lon.
Knowledge +10 (Total: 2295)
QUEST 6-2: Find V’hul and S’lon.
Before looking for these two, run into your room and hatch your
fire-lizard egg. You should get a new bronze fire-lizard on your
bathroom rail. (I think the room next to your bedroom is a bathroom or
wash room of some sort.) Pick your favorite color and go to V’hul’s
room on the Middle Levels.
Rowarth will be outside of V’hul’s room. If you talk to him, he
will tell you that S’lon is in V’hul’s room. Enter the room and you
will find S’lon looking for some incriminating evidence. If you attempt
to leave, S’lon will tell you to help him look. Look at the table to
find a note and a vial of liquid. This will start a cut scene which
will end with you having to go to Ierne Island to find the cure to the
disease and prove your innocence in the poisoning attempt on S’bor.
QUEST 6-2 COMPLETED: Our reward is being branded a traitor.
QUEST 6-3: Find the three herbs required for the cure to the disease.
Call Zenth and take our fifteenth trip back to Ierne Island.
Landing on Ierne Island the second time ends Chapter 6. You can talk to
Helan before you leave and she will tell you that she has a Tunnel Snake
egg, but she won’t give it to you yet.
At the end of Chapter 6, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 2295 level - SHARP, Reputation: 2000 Level DEPENDABLE,
Strength: 1760 Level – FORMIDABLE
We made 2 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 15 jumps in
the game so far.
*************************************
**** CHAPTER 7 - The Ingredients ****
*************************************
Chapter 7 starts when you visit Ierne Island for the second time
and ends when you get ambushed.
When you arrive on Ierne Island, run down the ramp to the beach.
On the left side of the beach between the water and the standing rock
formations, you should find a sand colored Trundle bug. The Trundle bug
looks like a funny glint on the sand from the distance. The bug travels
between the water and the stone formations, so you may have to hunt a
little to find it. Once you have the Trundle bug, call Zenth and take a
ride to Fort Weyr.
At Fort Weyr, give the Trundle bug to Jillan and call Zenth to
take you back to Ierne Island. You can also buy a Tunnel Snake egg from
Helan before you leave for 2 marks, although you don’t need the extra
egg. (Sorry about this long round trip jump, but you have to drop the
Trundle bug off before the end of the chapter or you won’t be able to
get the last Trundle bug. You can wait a little longer to make this
trip, but don’t wait too long.) Reputation +35 (Total: 2035) for giving
the Trundle bug to Jillan.
Back on Ierne Island, in the area where you landed, there’s a
rock-enclosed section to the left. A boulder blocks the entrance.
Instead of being intelligent and climb over the rock, D’Kor can push it
out of the way. In the enclosed area, there are 10 darts, 2 healing
herbs and one poisonous herb.
Going back to the spot where you landed, if you look around you
should see some type of feline guarding an entrance. There should be an
open entrance to the left of the feline. Go through that entrance and
you should be in the Hunter’s Lodge. As you enter this area, you should
see a cut scene of a plant up ahead. Walk until forward a cut scene
should start.
During the cut scene, you meet Lear. Lear will tell you how to
sneak undetected using the shadows. You have to sneak up to Lear before
you can continue. Sneaking to Lear is pretty easy, once you know the
path. Activate Stealth mode and turn left. Follow the rock you are
near until it ends. Continue straight until you hit the rock wall that
makes the left side of the canyon. Walk to the wall keep as close to
the edge as possible. You will eventually reach a ‘U’ shaped dead end.
Sneak to the outer edge of the dead end wall and follow that wall until
you are just below Lear. You really have to stay close to the wall or
Lear will see you. Keep going forward. Every time you reach a point
where you can’t go forward any more, turn a little to the right until
you can walk again. Continue doing this, turning a little to the right
every time you get stuck. Once you reach the bottom of the ramp, you’ve
successfully made it to Lear. Lear will tell you that you can now get
the herb that is on the bottom of an extinct volcano.
QUEST 7-1: Find the herb at the bottom of the volcano.
This is a good time to remind you about one of the bugs in this
game. There are some herbs scattered around the Hunter’s Lodge, but you
can’t pick them up because the Stealth icon shows up instead of the
Pickup icon. If you press the 0 / “Ins” key on the PC or B (Blue)
button on the Dreamcast, you can toggle between the Stealth icon and the
Pickup Icon.
Grab whatever herbs you want, then go out to the landing area of
Ierne Island. The entrance that used to have the feline is now open to
you. Go through that entrance and you will be in the Ierne Volcano.
You are supposed to sneak around the volcano avoiding the felines,
but I was never able to do that successfully. What’s more, if I was
sneaking, when I did get caught, I was immediately surrounded by several
felines. So, I usually just walk down the middle of the pathway,
killing the felines with my sword. Be careful fighting the felines,
because the can kill you in one or two hits. (I think it’s too
difficult to sneak around because you can’t always see far enough ahead.
If the camera angle would let you see where the felines are you should
easily be able to avoid them.)
Anyway, just walk down the path. There’s only one direction to
go, so it shouldn’t be too hard to follow. There’s one feline
patrolling just after the first niche. (The niches are where you can
switch to into sneaky mode.) After you get by the first feline, you
will arrive at a gap in the path that you have to jump over. There are
two felines that can see you immediately after you cross the gap. There
is another feline patrolling the back part of this area. If you keep
taking rights, you should get to an area where you have to hop rocks.
Hop the rocks to the next landing. There is another feline here that
may be waiting for you to land. After you get past this feline, grab
the herb on the raised rock. This should start a cut scene that leaves
you back in the Hunter’s Lodge. Lear will then automatically give you
the large crossbow skill. You also pick up the Silverthorn herb.
QUEST 7-1 COMPLETED: Receive Silverthorn herb. Reputation +40 (Total:
2075)
SKILL AWARDED: Large Crossbow Skill.
In the Hunter’s Lodge, go to the spot where Lear was standing when
you were trying to sneak up on him. Take the green bottle near where he
was standing. Find the metal contraption consisting of three
cylindrical containers near the back of the Hunter’s Lodge. Look at the
contraption and then use your bottle on it. This will give you a vial
of acid.
Exit the Hunter’s Lodge to the main landing area of Ierne Island.
Take the only exit off this area where we haven’t gone. (It should be
directly across from the Hunter’s Lodge.) If you haven’t emptied your
Trundle bug jar yet, you better do it now.
The new area you are in is called the Ierne Temple. To the left
is a big mass of green vines. Look at the vines, and then use your
bottle of acid on them. This should open a pathway to the temple
itself.
Enter the temple (there’s nothing important outside the temple.)
Go upstairs and walk towards the center of the room. You should see a
cut scene of D’Kor puzzling over the pattern on the floor. The stairs
to go up are to the right of the main gate in front of you. The pattern
on the floor represents the solution needed to open the door on the
floor below. There are four rooms closed off by gates. Each room has a
different color, matching the color of the pattern. Inside of each room
is a lever. You have to move the lever to the position marked on the
pattern. I think that once you’ve looked at the pattern, D’Kor will
automatically push the levers to the correct spot.
QUEST 7-2: Open the gate on the ground floor of the Ierne Temple
Come down the stairs so we can open up the gates protecting the
levers. You will see four different stone heads on the ground. You open
up the gates to the lever by moving each stone head to pad on the floor.
The scrap marks from each head lead to the pad that you need to push the
head onto. You have to push each head twice to get it onto the pad. Be
careful, because you can push the head the wrong direction and be unable
to move it again. You should see a cut scene the second time you push a
head.
The head near the stairs going up needs to be pushed to the
opposite side to the temple. This head will open the green room. The
head on one side of the yellow room (which is across from the green
room) needs to be pushed to the corner to open the yellow room gate. On
the other side of the middle gate, there is a stone on the same wall as
the red room. You have to push this stone towards the middle gate.
(D’Kor will automatically push the stone in the second direction.) The
final stone head is on the wall between the blue and red rooms. Push
this head towards the blue room to open the final gate. When you pull
all four of the levers, the middle gate should open.
Once the middle gate opens, run down stairs. You might want to
turn on your mining bracelet for some more light. You should find a
door with a plaque on the left side and some plant on the right side.
Pick up the plant to get the roseleaf, the second herb needed for the
cure. Then look at the plaque. If D’Kor has enough intelligence, he
will realize the plaque is actually a lock for the door. To open the
door, shoot the colored circles in the order in which D’Kor says they
should be shot. For all of my games, the order has always been red,
red, blue, and yellow. When you shot the last target, the door will
open. Inside the room on a pedestal is a fire-lizard egg. This is the
white fire-lizard.
QUEST 7-2 COMPLETED: Roseleaf acquired.
After you get the egg climb up the stairs and exit the temple.
You will get a cut scene of Lamrat watching you. Continue on to the
landing area, and Lamrat will ambush you. When you wake up, you are in
the Prison. This ambush ends this chapter.
At the end of Chapter 7, my attribute statistics are:
Knowledge: 2295 level - SHARP, Reputation: 2075 Level DEPENDABLE,
Strength: 2270 Level – FORMIDABLE
We made 2 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 17 jumps in
the game so far.
***************************
**** CHAPTER 8 - Escape ****
****************************
Chapter 8 starts when you wake up in the prison and ends after
your encounter with the Hold Lord.
When you wake up in Prison, you met Flick. Flick says that he has
the key to your cell, but you have to agree to help him and find a
weapon. If you check your inventory, you will realize that you have
lost all of your items. Don’t worry, this is only a temporary setback.
QUEST 8-1: Help the prisoners to escape.
QUEST 8-2: Escape from your prison cell.
In your cell, there is a plant growing. Pick it. It is the
elusive Nettleweed, the last ingredient for Roma’s feast. Then grab the
bedpost from the corner of the bed. When you pick up the bed leg, Flick
will tell you that you need to get the guard’s attention. He tells you
that you need something other than the bed leg to do that. There’s a
chamber pot laying on the floor near the bed pick that up. When you
pick up the chamber pot, a cut scene starts. At the end of the cut
scene, you are free!
QUEST 8-2: You’re free!
Press the button to your left to open the gate that lets you out
of the prison cell area. Talk to all five of the prisoners on your way
to the exit. Yuse is in the cell next to Flick’s. Talk to him and agree
to help him escape. Reputation +20 (Total: 2095) Joseph is next to your
old cell. Tell him that his wife sent you to help him. (This is part
of Quest 4-5.) Reputation + 20 (Total: 2115) In the cell next to Yuse
is Keriil. She asks you to find her husband Hellion. She asks you to
return to her if you find anything about him. (Hellion and Keriil are
the missing parents from Quest 4-5) Reputation +20 (Total: 2135) Daeril
is in the final cell. Reassure him. Reputation +20 (Total: 2155)
QUEST 8-3: Find Hellion
Leave the prison area and you’ll be in a hallway with closed gates
on either end. If you take a right, there will be an area to the left
where there are two buttons and a torch. Pressing one button will open
the far gate and pressing the other will extinguish the torch. Remember
to press the “Ins” key on the PC or the B (Blue) button on the Dreamcast
to toggle between the Stealth Mode icon and the Action Icon.
Go through the gate you just opened. On the table are all of your
weapons and a bell hammer. Picking these items up will give you a cut
scene of all the guards on this level. What you are supposed to do is
sneak to the bell and strike it with the hammer. This will cause some
of the guards to move to some other area of the prison. I personally
find sneaking past all of the guards to be too difficult and unreliable.
You shouldn’t attack the guards with your sword either, because you
don’t have any healing items with you and you won’t get any for a while.
The best approach I’ve found is to kill all the guards with the large
crossbow. The crossbow will kill a guard in one shot, no matter where
you hit the guard. Also, the guards are really stupid. If you kill are
the person standing right next to a live guard, the live guard will not
react, assuming the guard does not see you. So, you can sneak around,
picking off each guard as soon as you seen them. Your 20 crossbow bolts
should take you through the prison, as long as you only use one or two
bolts per guard. You should still sneak around as much as you can, so
you don’t activate any guards unknowingly.
Back to the walkthrough, there’s a button near the gate you
entered this current room. Press the button and the other gate in the
room will open. This will get you out into the area with all the
guards. Walkthrough the gate and you’ll see another gate to your left.
Behind this gate are keys to the prison cells, but we can’t open the
gate yet. Continue down the passageway until just before you reach the
next corner. There are some guards on the connecting hallway, so be
careful. Just around the corner is another switch, which will
extinguish the torch nearby. There are two guards that patrol nearby,
so be very careful. They leave a room to the right of the new hallway
at different times, so wait for both of them. (As in, save your game
before you turn the corner.) After you dispatch these guards, sneak
down the new hallway.
Sneak into the opening on the left side of the hallway. (If you
go into the right entrance, three or four guards will surround you.)
There will be an alcove on either side of the new entrance. Dive into
the alcove on the left and press both buttons. One button should
extinguish the torch and the other will open three gates. Sneak to the
other alcove and press the button there to extinguish that torch. Then
you can sneak up the stairs to the brightly-lit room. Sneak up the
right side of the stairs. Ready the hammer and hit the bell. D’Kor
should automatically dive into the second alcove. The three men in the
far room should hear the bell and run past D’Kor and the bell, then up
the stairs. The gate to the upper area will remain closed. If you
can’t get the guards to leave, you can snipe them from the alcoves with
the crossbow.
When the guards are gone, run down to the room they occupied.
Press both buttons to extinguish a torch and open another gate. Take
the keys to cells 2, 3, and 4 off the key rack near the table. Now
leave this room and take a right into the corridor. At the end of the
corridor is another button to extinguish another torch. Push this
button then go down the new hallway to the right. Be careful when you
cross the next entranceway, because there are two guards waiting there.
You’ll have to eliminate the guards somehow. After the guards are gone,
go through that entrance and push all three buttons on the wall. You
will extinguish two torches and open another gate.
Leave this area and go back to the hallway where we just were.
Continue down the hallway through the gate until it ends. Take a right
then an immediate left. You should be in a room with a chest. Open the
chest and you will get the rest of your inventory. There is also a
button in this room that will open the gate where we just eliminated the
two guards.
Exit the room with your inventory, go down the hallway, and take a
left. Keep going until you reach the room where you picked up you
weapons. Take a right into the next passageway and then the first left
you can take. You should be next to another key board where you can to
take the key to cell 5. Turn around and continue down the hallway and
take a right into the next corridor. You should be in the same hallway
that the room that had the three guards intersects. Go past the now
empty guardroom to the next opening on the left. There should be
another board with the key to cell 1.
Head back to the prison and release all of the prisoners. Keriil
will make the same comment regardless of whether you’ve released her
husband or not. She will also refuse your request to become a Weyrwoman
candidate. For releasing Daeril you get Reputation +50 (Total: 2205).
For releasing Yuse you get Reputation +50 (Total: 2255). For releasing
Joseph, you get Reputation +50 (Total: 2305, Reputation level increases
to RESPECTABLE.) For releasing Flick, you get some Southern Star and
Reputation +50 (Total: 2355) Southern Star is the last ingredient you
need for the cure. The prisoners will take care of themselves once you
finish most of the Prison area.
QUEST 8-1 COMPLETED: You get a sprig of Southern Star. Reputation +250
for releasing all prisoners
QUEST 6-3 COMPLETED: You found the three ingredients for the cure.
Go back to the area where you killed the two guards, save your
game, and go through the last gate you opened. At the top of the
stairs, you will meet your old friend, Lamrat. At the end of the cut
scene, you’ll fight him. The fight will end in a cut scene. After the
cut scene you will fight him again and kill him. Pickup the key next to
his body. Reputation +100 (Total: 2455)
Go enter the room to the left of the staircase. The final Trundle
bug is in this room. (Make sure you get the Trundle bug with the
correct crossbow!) When you approach the window, you will get a cut
scene with Zenth.
Return to the room that has Lamrat’s body and walk towards the
next room. As you enter the room, you will see a cut scene. After the
V’hul leaves to entertain your fire-lizard, you will regain control. Go
in and kill Druse either with your sword or with your crossbow. Don’t
be afraid to use your collection of herbs. You won’t need them after
this chapter. After you defeat Druse, the slaves will gather in the
middle. Talk to Harrow and he will give you some plot information.
Take the slaves to the Window room.
Leave the Window room you’re in, and go into the Kitchen on the
right. When you get to the far edge of the kitchen, you will see two
guards. You should be able to take them down with your large crossbow.
(Make sure you’ve switched to the large crossbow from your bug one.)
In a hallway parallel to the guard’s body is a table. On the
table is a skin with the bell signals. Go on through the next room,
which has a bell in it. You can play around with ringing the bell three
times or you can just kill the three guards in the next room. These are
the last remaining guards on the level, so it’s your choice. You should
be able to hit all of the guards from the bell room with the crossbow
without activating them.
After you’ve removed the guards, enter the room that they were in.
You should see a familiar stone head next to a trap door. Push the
stone head on the door to break it open. This will release Gladeril,
who Zenth says will be a good Weyrwoman candidate.
Go into the next room, where you will see a man working. This man
is Hellion, who is working on the next batch of the disease. He tells
you that he was working out of fear for his wife and his life. He gives
you a rusty key as thanks for helping him. Knowledge +25 (Total: 2320),
Reputation +30 (Total: 2485)
QUEST 8-3 COMPLETED?: This is all I’m able to do for Hellion and Keriil,
but I don’t get the QUEST COMPLETED line in the journal.
Take the key and use it on one of the two closed doors in the room
where we rescued Gladeril. One of the doors will open with the key.
Inside, we find V’hul who attacks us after a long cut scene. Defeat him
and he will give D’Kor an ornate key. Reputation +100 (Total: 2585)
Go through the opposite door from the one we came in from and take
a right. You should be in the room with the slaves. Move the slaves to
the Courtyard. You will see a cut scene of Keriil and Hellion
reuniting.
Go back to the room that originally held Druse and the slaves. If
you rang the bell three times, the men from Gladeril’s room will be
here. Move them again with the bell or snipe them with the crossbow.
The ornate key that V’hul gave you will open one of the two doors in
here. The door may already be opened, but if it is not, ready the
ornate key and walk into the door. Behind the door will be a small room
and some stairs leading up.
Take the stairs then save your game. There are three exits of the
stairwell room. You have to enter the doors to you left and right
before you enter the one behind you. The one behind you looks like a
bedroom. Start with the room to the left. It looks like a room blocked
by a boulder. Have D’Kor push the boulder then take the disc piece from
the pedestal. Now go to the entrance on the right side of the
staircase. A metal door should block this entrance. You can open this
door by using the brooch you took off of Belan’s body. Behind the door
is another pedestal with another disc piece. Take this piece. Enter
the bedroom and watch the log cut scene. You’ll have to fight the
occupant of the room after the cut scene. After fighting the man in the
room for a while, another cut scene will start, which will end with you
very weak, in your bedroom. This cut scene marks the end of Chapter 8.
Upon waking up, you statistics are boasted. Knowledge +25 (Total:
2345), Reputation +100 (Total: 2685)
At the end of Chapter 8, my attribute statistics are: HEALTH 10%,
Knowledge: 2345 level - SHARP, Reputation: 2685 Level RESPECTABLE,
Strength: 2990 Level – FORMIDABLE
We made 0 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 17 jumps in
the game so far.
(OK, I have to say this. Wasn’t that speech by Roth incredible
stupid? After you’re lying on the ground fainting from the sickness,
Roth tells you that he likes you the most of all the dragonriders, but
thought you were too pure to be turned. He liked us the most! He’s mad
at Fort Weyr because he didn’t impress Zenth, our dragon. Yet the
person who took Zenth from him, D’Kor, he likes to most. D’Kor, should
be the one person that he hates the most and wants to suffer the most!
I just don’t get it!
Thanks for listening to my little rant. I feel better now. On
with the walkthrough.)
*****************************************
**** CHAPTER 9 - Tying up loose ends ****
*****************************************
Chapter 9 starts when you wake up weak in your bedroom and finishes
when you start the sequence to end the game in Fort Weyr. This chapter
is called “Tying up loose ends” because we will be solving a bunch of
quests started in other chapters.
During the cut scene that starts this chapter, B’rak told us that
V’Kai, the Weyrleader wants to talk to us. Before we go there, we have
a fire-lizard egg to hatch. This egg will release the white fire-
lizard, which will appear on the bathroom perch. Choose your favorite
fire-lizard and leave your room. If you check your inventory here, you
will realize that you’ve lost all of your healing items.
Talk to V’Kai. He will tell you that he will not contest the next
Queen’s mating flight and he thinks that Zenth is the strongest dragon
in Fort Weyr. He thinks Zenth will probably mate with the new queen.
(For those of you, who aren’t familiar with the Dragonrider series, the
dragon that mates with the dominant Gold queen, becomes the next
Weyrleader. In other words, V’Kai is tell D’Kor that he thinks D’Kor
will be the next Weyrleader.) At the end of the conversation, V’Kai
will tell you that he is looking for someone HIGHLY REGARDED to make
FlightLeader. We haven’t quite reached that level yet so we’ll have to
come back later. Reputation +100 (Total: 2785)
Now go into the library and walk into the Private Reading Room.
You will be allowed to enter this room now, because you have a
reputation level of RESPECTABLE. The shelves in the Reading Room
contain artwork from the game. On the desk in the Reading Room is an
iron key with the Harper’s symbol etched on it. This is the key that
Lockenn is looking for.
Now head done to the Middle Levels. You will find B’rak standing
next to Emmara’s platform. Talk to him and he will tell you that you
are the new Wingleader.
Talk to Emmara, who’s at her normal spot. She will ask you what
are the main features of Ierne Temple? Answer her with “Statues and
Fungi”. She will then ask you how many statues are in Ierne Temple.
The correct answer is “Four” statues. After you answer these questions,
Emmara becomes a Weyrwoman candidate.
QUEST 1-8 COMPLETED: Emmara becomes a Weyrwoman candidate. Knowledge +50
(Total: 2395), Reputation +100 (Total: 2885)
We have the final ingredients for Roma’s feast, so let’s pay him a
visit in the Kitchens. He’ll even take our extra Tunnel Snake egg!
QUEST 1-14 COMPLETED: Delivered all of the ingredients to Roma.
Knowledge +25 (Total: 2420), Reputation +60 (Total: 2945)
Now talk to Tom, who’s also in the Kitchens. He will offer you
two different types of food items. Tom tells you that Rowarth is
missing and so is another drudge. This is part of Chapter 10, so we’ll
deal with this later. Urik is in the Dining Area, but talking to him is
also part of Chapter 10.
Now leave the Kitchens and go to the Fort Weyr Bowl. Talk to
Jillan for the last time. When you give him the sixth Trundle bug, he
will summon his daughter Imogen. Imogen will then become a Weyrwoman
candidate.
QUEST 1-17 COMPLETED: Imogen will become a Weyrwoman Candidate.
Knowledge +50 (Total: 2470), Reputation +100 (Total: 3045)
We’re not going to make our final levels in Knowledge and
Reputation at Fort Weyr, so call Zenth and hitch a ride to Fort Hold,
our eighteenth jump.
Go to the Harper Library and talk to Lockenn. D’Kor will give him
the iron key he found in the Private Reading Room. Lockenn will then
ask where the secret area of the library is. If you’ve already found
the secret area, D’Kor will tell Lockenn where it is. If you haven’t </pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
found the secret area yet, look at the bookshelf directly opposite the
entrance to the library. D’Kor should comment that there is a hidden
room behind the bookshelf. After you see this message, you can tell
Lockenn where the area is. Lockenn will open up the bookshelf to reveal
a hidden desk. There’s a piece of paper on the desk that you can pick
up. Examine the piece of paper. You need to search the bookshelf that
is on the far right wall, when entering the library. The bookshelf is
closest one to on the right wall to the newly opened secret area. When
D’Kor searches the bookshelf, he will find a small rusty, Ancient Key.
After a cut scene, Mianna becomes a Weyrwoman candidate.
QUEST 2-20 COMPLETED: Mianna becomes a Weyrwoman candidate. Knowledge
+50 (Total: 2530, Knowledge level increases to GENIUS), Reputation +100
(Total: 3145, Reputation level increases to HIGHLY REGARDED) (Jackpot!
We just reached the highest levels for both Knowledge and Reputation.)
Use the small rusty key on the same bookshelf where you found the
key. The bookshelf should open revealing a small room. Enter the room
and you should find an ancient artifact on the table. The artifact
looks like some type of electronic gauge.
There’s nothing else to do in Fort Hold, so it’s time to take
Zenth on a joyride to Mastersmith Hall. This will be our nineteenth
jump.
When you arrive at Mastersmith Hall, go into the Workshops and
talk to Forn three times. He will give you a fire-lizard egg for the
two disc pieces and two sword upgrades for the other two artifacts you
hold. This should be all of the ancient artifacts.
After you’ve talked to Forn, go outside and talk with Guy. He
will give you the tombstone for Kiristi. Knowledge +25 (Total: 2555),
Reputation +20 (Total: 3165)
Now it’s time for some plot fun. Take the miner hall key that you
got from Lamrat’s body and open the door to the Masterminer Hall
building. Some people have reported a bug if you read the following
reports in the wrong order, so you might want to follow this carefully.
If you get interrupted by Rom before you complete each of the task,
chose the “I’m sorry” line. You will be thrown out of the building.
You can reenter the building immediately and pickup where you left off.
When you enter the building, there should be a skin on the second table
to the right of the door. Take and read that message. There should be
a second skin in the second of bookshelf past the table with the last
skin. Take and read that message. Once you have read both messages, go
behind boxes near the fireplace. Move around until the stealth mode icon
is displayed and activate stealth mode. Wait there until Rom enters the
building. You will see a cut scene of Rom entering the building and
opening the box on the table. Once Rom leaves the building, go to the
box and read the message inside. After reading all three messages, wait
until Rom returns. Now use the “confront Rom” option. You should get a
cut scene with Rom and one of the other dragonriders. At the end of the
cut scene, you should be outside.
QUEST 1-12 COMPLETED: Now we know what happened with the missing ore.
There are no more tasks to do at the Mastersmith Hall, so we can
jump to Ista Beach, for our twentieth ride. At Ista Beach, talk to
Kiristi. She will thank you for getting a new tombstone and will become
the final Weyrwoman Candidate.
QUEST 4-2 COMPLETED: Kiristi becomes a Weyrwoman Candidate. Knowledge
+50 (Total: 2605), Reputation +100 (Total: 3265)
Now walk to the ocean and select the dolphin. You can either go
into the water or walk on the right rocky wall to talk with the dolphin.
Since we are now a GENIUS, we can understand what the dolphin is saying.
There’s going to be a sequel, how touching.
There’s nothing left to do on Ista and there’s nothing to do and
no one left on Ierne Island, so we can go back to Fort Weyr now. Call
Zenth for our twenty-first and final jump.
When you arrive back in Fort Weyr, you can check out all of the
Weyrwoman candidates you’ve collected. They are all standing above the
Hatching Grounds. You can talk to them if you wish to learn more about
them, but you won’t get any recognition from the game for doing so.
We really only have a couple of tasks left to end this chapter.
First, go up to your room on the Upper Levels. There you can hatch you
final fire-lizard egg. This egg will produce the gold fire-lizard,
which you can find hanging out in your bathroom.
From there, go talk to V’Kai for the last time. He will promote
you to Flightleader. This promotion ends chapter 9. You can now do the
final few items to finish the game.
At the end of Chapter 9, my attribute statistics are: Knowledge:
2605 level - GENIUS, Reputation: 3265 Level HIGHLY REGARDED, Strength:
2990 Level – FORMIDABLE
We made 4 jumps on Zenth this chapter for a total of 21 jumps in the
game so far.
*****************************************
**** CHAPTER 10 - Finishing the game ****
*****************************************
Chapter 10 starts when you start the final sequence in Fort Weyr
and ends with the final movie.
Go to the Dining Area in the Kitchens level and talk to Urik. He
will mention the Rowarth is missing. He was last seen with an
unfamiliar drudge. Urik is concerned about Rowarth’s safety. Knowledge
+50 (Total: 2655)
QUEST 10-1: Find Rowarth.
Now return to the Fort Weyr Bowl. Head off to the right and you
should find Jax and Jim behind the ramp up to the previously retrieved
artifact. Talk to them and they will tell you that they saw Rowarth and
a stranger enter the Dark Caves. Knowledge +50 (Total: 2705)
Enter the Dark Caves and you will see a cut scene with Rowarth.
When you exit the caves, Zenth will tell you that you need to round up
four other riders and bring them to the Hatching Grounds.
QUEST 10-1 COMPLETED: Rowarth Found. Reputation +50 (Total: 3315)
QUEST 10-2: Round up four dragonriders then go to the Hatching Grounds.
Run back to Fort Weyr and go to the Middle Levels. B’rak should
be where we left him in the main area. Talk to him to get the first
rider. You will find T’men by himself in the Gambling Room. Talk to
him to get the second rider. L’tul will be in his room at the end of
the long corridor starting in the Gambling Room. He is your third
rider. Your final rider is Lytah who is in the Library on the Upper
Levels. After you talk to all four of the riders, head down to the
Hatching Grounds.
When you reach the Hatching Grounds, you will get a brief cut
scene where you are told to go to the viewing area. Go up to the area
where our ten Weyrwoman candidates are hanging out. Make sure your
sword is still readied. Wait there or talk to the candidates if you
chose. After a while you will start getting messages from Zenth. Stay
up in the viewing area until Zenth tells you that one of the riders sees
something. When you hear that message, run down and talk to that rider.
Soon after you talk to the rider, a cut scene will start. When the cut
scene ends, you will have one more easy fight. Once you win this fight,
the final cut scene will play.
QUEST 10-2: Roth is caught
Congratulations! You’ve just completed the game! And the future
Weyrwoman is... well it’s random. The game will chose one of the
available women to impress the new gold queen. If you are attached to
one of the women, you can keep replaying the ending until your favorite
gets chosen, I suppose. When I finished the game I was playing to write
this walkthrough, Kilimi was chosen. (I’ve seen three other candidates
chosen when I finished the game before, so you don’t have to write me
telling me whom got chosen in your game.)
At the end of game, my attribute statistics are: Health 100%,
Knowledge: 2705 level - GENIUS, Reputation: 3315 Level HIGHLY REGARDED,
Strength: 2990 Level – FORMIDABLE
(I saved the medicinal brew in Healer Hall to get my health back
up for the end of the game.)

**** THE LISTS ****
*******************
The following lists tell you where the important items are in the
game. These are MAJOR SPOILERS, but use them if you are having trouble
finding that last Trundle bug.
**** Attribute levels ****
Below is the list of the four different attributes and how you can
raise them.
Health - This is the only attribute that does not naturally increase as
you proceed in the game. You start the game with 10% health. You can
increase your health by eating healing herbs, oysters, food, and healing
potions. You can decrease your health by eating poisonous herbs and by
getting hit by an opponent. If your health goes to 0%, D’Kor dies and
the game ends. You can tell the difference between a healing and a
poisonous herb once you get the Healing Skill.
A partial list of the items that modify your health statistic is shown
below. I finish filling out this list on my next update.
Oysters - 10 Health
Healing Herbs - 15 health
Meat rolls - ? health
Meat pie - ? health
Fruit - ? health
Medicinal Brews - 80 Health
Poisonous Herb - -? Health

Lear will upgrade your Sneak skill and give you Large Crossbow skill,

**** Weyrwomen locations ****
You are tasked with finding ten Weyrwoman candidates at the
beginning of the game by V’Kai. Almost every non-married woman that you
come across that and looks like they are in their twenties or thirties
will turn out to be a Weyrwoman candidate. You will know that you have
found a Weyrwoman when you receive the “Potential Weyrwoman found”
message. All found Weyrwoman will appear in the Hatching Grounds.

become a candidate. You won’t get the Healer skill until Chapter 5.
(COMPLETE QUEST 4-6)

available to be a Weyrwoman candidate in Chapter 5. Doorin will be

connection, Janifer’s mother is Nalaya’s sister.)
7) Gladeril - In the prison on the second floor - On the second floor of
the prison, just before the room where you find Hellion, there is a
trap door on the floor and a stone head next to it. If you push the
stone head onto the trap door, the door will open and Gladeril will
be freed.
8) Mianna - In Harper Hall Library - Once you find the ornate key,
Mianna will be a Weyrwoman candidate. To find the ornate key, you
will first have to have a RESPECTABLE reputation and get the key from
the Weyrleader’s private reading room off of the Fort Weyr Library.
Give this key to Lockenn, show him where the secret room in the
library is, and collect the piece of paper when he opens the door.

in the sand tray near the fireplace. The egg will hatch immediately and
the fire-lizard will take its spot on the perch near the fireplace. You
must have a Knowledge level of KNOWLEDGEABLE before you can hatch fire-
lizard eggs. (The Green, Blue, and Brown fire-lizards will rest on the

you that his daughter Imogen is looking for six Trundle bugs before she
will start doing her Hatching Ceremony duties. Jillan will give you a
crossbow, the crossbow skill and a few darts to catch the bugs. See the
section on fighting tips for more information about using the crossbow.
You will also need a glass jar to hold the bugs, which you can get from
Horlas in the Dining Area. You can only hold one Trundle bug at a time,
so you will have to return to Jillan after you catch each one.

Kendrick is originally located, there’s a black Trundle bug.

knife. The next three artifacts will upgrade your sword. There are two
addition artifacts that, when given to Forn at the same time, will get
you the final fire-lizard egg.
The first and most common artifact look like a black rectangle with
three wires (yellow, green, and red) coming out of the side. There are
three of these artifacts (numbers 1, 2, and 3). The second artifact
look like a white rectangle with two ‘L’ shaped black lines on it and a
black line on the bottom. There are two of these artifacts (numbers 4
and 5). The third artifact looks like some type of electronic meter.
There is one of these types of artifacts (number 6). The final artifact
is a half of a disc. There are two of these artifacts (numbers 7 and
8). You will need both of these artifacts to get the reward from Forn.

below the tunnel snake basket in the final room before you locate
Jim. You will need a Strength level of at least TOUGH to move the

pedestal in a room blocked by a boulder.
