---------------------------- Planar Gateway Screen -----------------------------
(For the people that don't know you can change levels)
Up/Down: Selects level you have unlocked.
Left/Right: Selects Medal Round/Secret Level (Only works on non-Norrath levels)
Medal Rounds can only be picked after beating that level.
Secret Levels can only be picked after getting a Champion Medal on Medal Rounds
-------------------------------- Online Games ----------------------------------
After you've setup and logged online, you'll be at the game selection screen.
You can chat with people here with a USB-keyboard.
(The microphone support is only for when you're actually in a game.)
Or select a game you wish to join, you can never join an already started game.
The games listed are waiting rooms for the games to start when they get the
players amount that they want, once they do, the creator can start the game.
If you try to join a game that is full it may come back with an unrelated error.
Red Games are un-secure games, meaning that it loads characters off your memory
card and also saves to it while in the game, sort of like Open Battle.net.
Green Games are secure games where the characters are loaded from the servers.
These have a small risk of being corrupted, and people still cheat on them.
If you're wondering about the corruption, check known bugs.
------------------------------ Reseting a Level --------------------------------
To reset a level, leave that level, and pick another level that is not the
level you want to reset. Once you enter that area, leave it by Gate Scroll,
and go back to the level you wanted reset, it should be reset now.
--------------------------------- Importing ------------------------------------
Let's use an example.
Player 1 and Player 2 started off in a new game together, and got to the
Plane of Storms, and they're, let's say, roughly half way through.
And now, for whatever reason, Player 2 wants to play with another friend.
Now, two things can happen here.
If Player 2 starts a new game, and becomes Player 1, with his new friend
(who is now) Player 2, the progress will be at the exact same point,
Plane of Storms, however, the progress half way into the level is lost,
and he will need to start it over again.
The other thing that can happen is if Player 2 remains Player 2, and his new
friend is starting a new character which is going to be Player 1, in this
instance, it will be like a brand new game with no progress made.
Why? Because the game remembers which levels were completed individually,
for every difficulty even. And it always takes the progress of Player 1.
Such as, in Instance 1 where they still have access to the Plane of Storms.
If he went through the Pit of Ill Omen and completed the level with his new
friend; then the friend transferred out of that game into another new one,
he'll have access to the Pit of Ill Omen, but NOT the Plane of Innovation.

Tagar's Insects
---------------
Required Level: 8
Description: Sends out insects that hunts out enemies. Diseasing them.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: One of the more useful spells for the Shaman. Even if you're
not that big into magic, this can be useful for its "Hiccup" ability.
Hiccuping is when a monster reels in pain, temporarily unable to act.
Please note that not all monsters will hiccup.

-------------
Required Level: 16
Description: Makes a purple aura around you and gives you a chance
to dodge any attack, be it spell or melee, most Shamans dismiss this skill
because of its mana cost, however, it is a very useful skill.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: Not necessarily a must have, because it can be annoying to have
to recast it, it's still a great skill to have around.

Pus Storm
---------
Required Level: 19
Description: Sends raining pus in a line in front of the caster,
only useful in a tight pathway or a really big enemy, like Cazic-Thule.
Only does full damage, if unit is hit by every block of Pus,
and inside the storm the whole time.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: Can be fun to spam, but it's not very good.

Giant Growth
------------
Required Level: 21
Decription: Makes you larger, hit harder with melee, and run faster.
Doesn't make you attack faster, sorry.
Doesn't last very long, but costs hardly any mana.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: The only downfall of this skill is that it does not last long.
However, the damage increase from this skill is so great that it's a must have.

Planar Wind
-----------
Required Level: 24
Decription: Shoots wind at your enemies, does very little damage in later
difficulties, but is good for pushing enemies back, sometimes they turn in to
ping-pong balls. Has small fire damage at later levels for 'hiccups'.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: The last useful skill for the Shaman. Mostly used for the hiccups.
Hiccuping is when a monster reels in pain, temporarily unable to act.
Please note that not all monsters will hiccup.

Root
----
Required Level: 26
Decription: Has a chance to root your enemies to the ground,
I perfer Drowsy over this ability, but you be the judge.
Class Grade: C

Why root so you can run up to them?

almost never see this ability.

Description: Allows you to equip two one handed weapons. Increasing damage.
Class Grade: C-A Depending on what you like.
My Thoughts: If you're big on two-handed weapons, you shouldn't get this.
However, the damage bonus from mastering can out perform two-handed weapons.

Cyclone
-------
Required Level: 10
Description: Makes you spin around with limited control of your character,
damaging anything near you. Each time you spin, you hit everything near you.

My Thoughts: This skill can be pretty fun to use. And as I said before
you'll get so many skill points, there's no reason not to have it mastered.
Be aware that this is much weaker than the Berserkers Cyclone.

-------
Required Level: 15
Description: Has a chance when getting hit, even while guarding,

it only hurts monsters sometimes when you get hit.

Ground Pound
------------
Required Level: 15
Description: Can only be used with a two-handed blunt weapon.
Deals area damage, and can stun.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: The problem with this skill is the fact it requires a two-hander.
The good thing about this skill is the stun. But points can be better spent.

Charge
------
Required Level: 15
Description: More used to get around quickly, this skill can do damage,
but you're better off saving mana. Can deal area damage at higher ranks,
and allows you to slightly turn your character at higher ranks.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: Not that great. Probably just get it to move down the tree.

Multi Fire
----------
Required Level: 3
Description: Fires up to 6 arrows, each being weaker than a normal shot.
Total Damage is if all arrows connect.
Class Grade: C (Early) - A (Late)
My Thoughts: The damage is pretty horrible before it's maxed.
Once you have a higher damage bow, and this mastered, the damage can be
insane, especially when combined with Critical Hit.

-------------

----------

Description: Fires an arrow enchanted with ice.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: This skill can effectively make Dexterity worthless for you.
Firing these off instead of your normal shot, makes you unblockable.
It's best to keep it at Rank 1 for as long as possible for mana reasons.

Description: A spell that will give you and teamates a chance to critical.

used a Whet Stone or you're under the effects of this skill.
That fact alone makes this skill amazing.

Dual Wield
----------
Required Level: 20
Description: Allows you to equip two one handed weapons. Increasing damage.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: Though this acts like any other classes Dual Wield I cannot
recommend this for the Ranger. There is a bug with the Ranger and this skill.
When you equip a one-handed weapon and a shield, then switch out to your bow,
you will lose the Armor bonus of the shield, but the effects that the shield
gives will still be effecting you. However, you will lose all bonuses if
you're Dual Wielding. Making this worse for the Ranger.

deals more damage to undead then living targets. Still weak.

Shield Bash
-----------
Required Level: 5
Description: Charges at an enemy and smashes your shield in his face.
Can affect more then one monster. Has a small chance to stun those affected.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: Though you will probably end up using a shield on a Cleric,
I can't recommend this skill, the damage is pathetic and there's better stuns.

Holy Armor
----------
Required Level: 8
Description: Just like a mana shield from other games,
takes a percentage of damage and hits your mana pool, not your health.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: A fairly decent skill that gets better as you get more
mana regeneration, though at low levels it's mediocre.

Blessed
-------
Required Level: 8
Description: A spell that regenerates mana. Lasts 15 seconds. Costs mana.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: Though it's not as powerful as Concentration at higher ranks,
it's still a very useful skill. Sadly, you have to keep turning it on.
Compared to Concentration this skill is horrible.
However, it's the only one available for the Cleric.

Blinding Light
--------------
Required Level: 10
Description: A burst of light that can confuse and hurt enemies around you.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: Starting to get into the better crowd control skills, but this
isn't the best one available for the Cleric yet. Hold off a while.

Hammer of Wrath
---------------
Required Level: 10
Description: Summons a flying hammer that will attack what you attack.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: He's not very good. He's very slow to attack, and his damage
is pretty pathetic. He can be pretty amusing, though.

Undead Shield
-------------
Required Level: 10
Description: Makes an aura around you that damages undead when you are hit.
This also effects teamates.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: Though there are a couple levels with lots of undead in them,
this will never be useful past those levels.
When you get to the higher levels and have spare points, you can get this.

Repulse Undead
--------------
Required Level: 15
Description: Sends a bouncing bolt that damages undead,
will disappear after hitting a target, but can bounce off of walls.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: Another pretty terrible skill, but it is still amusing.
The bolt will disappear after using up it's radius.

Root
----

Why root so you can run up to them?

Unspoken Word
-------------
Required Level: 25
Description: Creates a force wave, damaging and stunning monsters.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: This is why you make a Cleric, this skill alone.
When you get enough mana regen where you can spam this, there's not a
single monster that will ever get a chance to hit you. Except bosses, of course.

Retribution
-----------
Required Level: 25
Description: Casting this on yourself will allow you to get HP's each time you
attack. Based on a percentage of how much damage you do, cannot effect teamates.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: This skill pretty much comes into play when you can't use Unspoken
Word. Because you cannot use Unspoken Word for it's stun all the time.

Dismiss Undead
--------------
Required Level: 25
Description: Deals damage to both living and undead units.
Makes undead units run away in fear, this fear does not effect living units.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: You'll quickly find yourself dealing more damage than this
can in a single melee swing, even against undead units. Pretty terrible.

Resurrect
---------
Required Level: 25
Description: This skill has different effects for both Single Player and
Multiplayer, in Single Player this skill has a short duration and has a chance
to bring you back to life if you die. In Multiplayer, it revives teamates.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: It's actually pretty useful. Especially in Multiplayer boss fights.

Erudite Wizard 5*6
================================================================================
The only true spell caster in the entire game. The problem with this is that
spells do not get stronger past rank 20 of the skill. This means that late game,
you'll find you're doing far less damage than other classes in the same time.
If you want a challenge, this is the class for you.
Preferred Weapon Types; One-Handed Blunt, Two-Handed Blunt, Shield.
Battle Mage allows; One-Handed Slashing, Throwing Daggers.
Notable Skills:
Frost Armor, Battle Mage, Fire Flares, Cone of Frost, Wave of Flame.

Shock of Frost
--------------
Required Level: 1
Description: Shoots a bolt of ice in front of you, slows the monster effected,
and at higher levels, can break, making even more bolts of ice after impact.

Frost Storm

Battle Mage
-----------
Required Level: 13
Description: Allows you to use one handed swords and throwing daggers.
Damage here is shown of total. Blunt isn't effected.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: Not the greatest skill ever, but it can be pretty useful
if you happen to find a much better sword than a mace, however, it's
probably more productive if you stick with Blunt.

Fire Flares

Description: Summons firey orbs, these orbs will hover around you.
Anyone that moves into these orbs will take fire damage. Destroying an orb.

The damage isn't that great, but you can use it while you use something else.

Cone of Frost
-------------
Required Level: 25
Description: Makes you breathe frost.
Gives damage per-second and drains your mana while you cast.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: This is probably the highest damage skill you'll get as a Wizard.
You may want to pick between Fire and Frost, but with Wave of Flame coming,
I'd pick Frost so you have a Cold/Fire combo.

------------

Wave of Flame
-------------
Required Level: 29
Description: Makes ring of fire burst from you, burning enemies around you.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: This is the highest damage you'll ever do in a single shot.
Though it might not be the best damage over time, it is still useful.
As it can push monsters away from you to give you some breathing room.

================================================================================
Dark Elf Shadow Knight 5*7
================================================================================
A mix between the usefulness of a Shaman and a Cleric. His damage isn't the best
around, just like the Shaman, but he gets a couple of confusion abilities like
the Cleric, an interesting class. But is probably one of the worst at bosses.
Preferred Weapon Types; One-Handed Blunt, Two-Handed Blunt, One-Handed Slashing,
Two-Handed Slashing, Shield.
Notable Skills:
Engulfing Darkness, Disease Shield, Shadow Step, Summon Skeleton, Raise Army.

Life Tap
--------
Required Level: 5
Description: Allows detecting of souls after killing monsters.
These Souls can be devoured to heal a small amount of health or mana.
Note: To eat souls, you need to guard, while guarding you'll 'suck' them in.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: Pretty useful at low levels, but horrible at higher levels.
The amount returned is not percentage based, it's a set amount.
So that means when you start to get higher HP/MP totals, these won't do much.

Disease Trail
-------------
Required Level: 8
Description: Makes wherever you walk, have a path of disease behind you.
Class Grade: C
My Thoughts: Also used for hiccups mainly, but there's still better yet.

Please note that not all monsters will hiccup.

Disease Shield
--------------
Required Level: 10
Description: Creates a field of disease around you. This cloud will follow you.
Class Grade: A
My Thoughts: Great for causing hiccups. This is the best the Shadow Knight gets
for causing hiccups. Granted the damage is terrible. The field is huge.
Hiccuping is when a monster reels in pain, temporarily unable to act.
Please note that not all monsters will hiccup.

Description: Has a chance when getting hit, even while guarding,

it only hurts monsters sometimes when you get hit.

skeleton summoned will have a random enchantment on his weapon.

-----------

Description: Charges at an enemy and smashes your shield in his face.
Can affect more then one monster. Has a small chance to stun those affected.

Harm Touch
----------
Required Level: 25
Description: Execute a melee attack with a set damage amount.

you'll be hitting much harder than this with normal melee attacks.

----------
Required Level: 30
Description: Brings monsters back from the dead to fight for you,
they only have a small amount of their normal health.
Class Grade: B
My Thoughts: This is the best of any ability that allows enemies to
fight for you. This spell can be extremely amusing, and half way decent.
Though you'll probably never get to use it on a boss.

================================================================================
6* - Main Quest Walkthrough
================================================================================
--------------------------- Plane of Tranquility 6*1 ---------------------------
Monsters: N/A | Chests: 0 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Welcome to the Plane of Tranquility. This is your main hub that you'll return
to after every level, unless you want to turn Evil. That's right, Evil.
If you turn Evil, your hub will change to the Plane of Fear.
Q: What is the difference between Good and Evil?
A: Not much. Instead of finding the Plane Shards for Good, you'll find them for
Evil, and vice-versa. Besides this, a few areas will change, a couple objectives
including the first and last boss. Note that if you pick one way for a
difficulty, you can pick differently on the next difficulty.
Note: New players that want to start off easy, should stay Good.
Evil has a couple of areas that are far harder than anything Good fights.
You have some time to choose between Good and Evil, as you cannot pick until the
upcoming level, The Plane of War. But for now, you only start off with 500 gold,
and nothing to buy. At most, buy some health potions and talk with Firiona Vie.
After speaking with her, use the Planar Gateway behind Firiona Vie to proceed to
The Plane of War. The first level.
Lore: The God of The Plane of Tranquility is Quellious the Tranquil.
Technically, the entire Plane is Quellious herself.
The God for the Plane of Fear, is Cazic-Thule the Faceless.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
=============================== Plane of War 6*2 ===============================
----------------------- Lost Battle Ground (Good & Evil) -----------------------
Monsters: Kobolds, Specters | Chests: 18 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
You'll pop up after the cut-scene in the back of the Lost Battle Ground.
Kill the Kobolds in the area. Look in boxes and the chests for new items to use,
and look for some Health/Mana potions. You'll eventually come up to Natasla,
Natasla is the Evil version of Firiona Vie in the game. She'll start by asking
you a series of questions, depending on how you answer these will determine if
you'll end up being Good or Evil obviously agreeing with her will make you Evil.
If don't know the differences, read above. (Plane of Tranquility)
Disagreeing with her will cause you to stay on the Good path and open the blue
door, agreeing with her will cause you to become Evil and open the red door.
You will see both doors, with one opening in a cut-scene after deciding.
Keep fighting through the hordes of Kobolds, and watch out for the
Kobold Shamans, they're more white than other Kobolds.
They'll revive dead Kobolds around them if you don't take them out.
The Specters will hide in the darkness, jumping out at you when you near them.
They're very slow and their special attack is a touch attack that will freeze
you even if you are guarding. They shouldn't be too hard for you, though.
Keep moving up and getting Chests.
Once you make it to the red and blue doors, go in the one that's open.
This is a split up for Good and Evil, so read the area that is for you.
Good: read "Field of Strife" below.
Evil: read "Drundar" below.
Lore: The Plane of War goes by a couple of different names.
The Plane of War, The Plane of Tactics, and even Zaoran Plateau.
Whichever way you want to call it, it is home of Rallos Zek the Warlord.
(Fun Fact: When EverQuest released this area, it was called Plane of Tactics.
And if you went into your EQ Directory, you could find files pointing at another
zone called Plane of War, which was an unfinished zone with its own music and
sounds. Though this zone was never completed. It is unknown why it was left in.)
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
----------------------------- Field of Strife (Good) ---------------------------
Monsters: Orcs | Chests: 6 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Once here, you'll see an elf, named Nuranin.
He asks you to kill all the orcs so he can lower the bridge.
You'll have to charge past the archers and come around behind them.
The warrior orcs don't hit very hard, but they hit really fast,
the orc archers hit hard. You'll be best off trying to pull a few of them around
the corner and taking them out one by one. After they're all dead,
Nuranin will head up and wait for you at the bridge, speak with him,
and he'll lower the bridge and then ask you to kill the Shaman.
Pull orcs around corners again and get up to the Shamans.
Once you're up to one, try to pull the orcs with him away from him,
if you don't the Shaman will revive them while you're fighting him.
Once they're all dead. Run up to him and wack away, all his spells are weak.
Just watch out for his melee attack, that's the worst thing he has.
Once both of them are dead, head back to Nuranin at the next bridge,
he'll lower it, and ask you to take out the catapults.
They're both really close to each other, and more of the same orcs guard them.
Get up to the catapult and ignite the ammo cart next to them,
blowing up the catapults will make Nuranin run up to the next bridge,
Speak with him to lower it and head down the stairs to the War Room.
Bug Notes: Nuranin will disappear after destroying the Catapults.
To Fix: Use a Gate Scroll and come back. He normally pops after doing this.
--------------------------------- Drundar (Evil) -------------------------------
Monsters: Ogres, Goblins, Kobolds | Chests: 1 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
This place is rough, touch checkpoints a lot. The Ogres are hard without range.
You can guard the Ogres, but they do have a knockdown ability.
The Goblins have low HPs but high damage, the Kobolds here aren't much
different from other ones. The Ogres are the backbreackers here.
Anyway, what you need to do here is flip all eight switches, you'll have to go
around one side before you can get to the other side that's too high to reach.
There's a miniboss here called Thud. He's an ogre, and he's hard for low levels,
ranged is best on him, but if you have to melee, try to guard, remember to use
the jump back move in Controls. Once all eight switches are hit.
Enter the next area; the Drundar Arena.
Bug Notes: Switches reseting when saving, but total amount touched will retain.
To Fix: Basically a small exploit, you can hit the first two over and over.
---------------------------- Armory/War Room (Good) ----------------------------
Monsters: Gladiators | Chests: 3 | Bosses: Rallos Zek the Warlord
Walkthrough:
This is a very straight forward area.
The Gladiators are like guarding goblins, they're not too tough.
Even out of a (sort of) fair fight, a few will stay back to watch their friends.
Just look for chests and keep heading forward. You'll eventually reach a save
point with a small ledge you can fall off just behind it. You'll want to save.
Once you fall off, it will trigger a boss fight with Rallos Zek the Warlord.
Boss Walkthrough:
He's actually a lot easier then what you'd expect the God of War to be.
Just run around the area until he sticks his sword in the ground.
When he does this, wait for the colored ring to begin fading, once that happens,
quickly run in behind him and take a couple swings, being sure you quickly get
back out of range because he can side-swipe you. Then just run around again,
that's about all there is to it. He has high AC so ranged might have a hard
time hitting him. Don't worry though, you still can. Once he's dead, get your
loot and the shard, then port back to the Plane of Tranquility.
When you're back in town, sell/buy and get ready for the Plane of Innovation.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the Shard dropped by Rallos.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
----------------------------- Drundar Arena (Evil) -----------------------------
Monsters: N/A | Chests: 0 | Bosses: The Four Horsemen, Avatar of Fear
Walkthrough:
Well, this doesn't seem very fair, on entering this area you are greeted by
the Four Horsemen. These Horsemen are the same as the medal round.
This is by far the easiest for a ranged class, if you have ranged, use it.
If you're melee the best thing for you to do is circle them going in for a hit
or two when you feel it is safe and slowly work them down. Since it's so early
in the game and you have few to no skills to really use on them, it can be
quite annoying and time consuming to actually bring these guys down.
Once they are all dead, the Avatar of Fear will come to great you.
Boss Walkthrough:
The best thing to do is ranged on this guy. He has an ability that if you try
to block his attacks, he'll throw his arms down, slamming you into the ground,
and then he'll recover before you can and wack at you.
The best thing to do is circle him if at all possible for your class.
This is because if he misses one of his attacks, he'll have to recover.
Once he's down, Rallos Zek comes out. Don't worry, you don't need to fight him.
When you're back in town, sell/buy and get ready for the Plane of Innovation.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
=========================== Plane of Innovation 6*3 ============================
----------------------- Plane of Innovation (Good & Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Clockworks | Chests: 6 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
After shopping in the Plane of Tranquility or Fear you'll need to come here.
The Clockworks here are slow, but have high AC to block your ranged attacks.
Spells are the best thing here, also, the melee only clockworks will sometimes
wobble after killing them, if they do this, get away from them, they'll blow up.
If you're Good, you're looking for a Gnome called Nitram.
If you're Evil, you're looking for a Gnome called Giwin.
They both want the same thing: Copper Sprocket.
Look around the level for chests, and killing clockworks as you go.
You'll need to get to the elevator. Don't worry about the Copper Sprocket,
you won't get it until the end of the Plane of Innovation.
Note: It'd be a good idea to touch the teleporter in this area before leaving.
Lore: As I believe; there is no God for the Plane of Innovation, rather it is
ruled by the Clockworks that inhabit it, forever trying to improve themselves.
Both Nitram Anizok and Giwin Mirakon existed in the EverQuest universe.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------------- Mines Level 1 (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: Clockworks, Droids | Chests: 5 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
In this dark cave, there's a new enemy, the Droid.
These are the easiest monster in the game, as long as you spot them.
They're suicide bombers. They will run up to you and light them selves up.
There is a delay for their explosion, so quickly take them out.
This is another really straight forward level, so just find the ladder down.
Killing and looting as you go.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------------- Mines Level 2 (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: Clockworks, Droids | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
This is even more straight forward then Mines Level 1, just find the elevator.
You should save before heading up to the surface because there's a boss coming.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
--------------------------- The Surface (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Droids | Chests: 3 | Bosses: Iron Guardian
Boss Walkthrough:
When the battle starts, charge at him, but don't get too close!
There's a sweet spot that is just outside of his melee, and just inside of his
ranged attacks. You'll need to run in a circle in this sweet spot,
because there's a constant supply of Droids running at you, trying to kill you.
If you're ranged you can stop, take a few shots and move again, if you're melee
you'll have to wait for his double blade attack. If you keep running around him
try to find this attack, it's his longest attack, he'll use one claw at a time.
Once he uses this attack, you can get in behind him as he doesn't turn.
Make sure you get out before his attack is over because he does throw his arm
behind him which can hit you if you linger too long back there.
Note that exploding Droids can in fact hurt the Iron Guardian.
Once he's dead pick up your spoils and the Copper Sprocket.
When you have the Copper Sprocket, use the portal in this area to head back
to the Plane of Innovation (The first area) to hand in the Copper Sprocket.
Handing in the Copper Sprocket will net you the Shard of Innovation.
Head back to the portal, and go back to Tranquility or Fear.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the Copper Sprocket.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
======================== Norrath: Pit of Ill Omen 6*4 ==========================
------------------------- Kerriels Cave (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Frogloks | Chests: 4 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
This is a real short, straight forward level again.
The Frogloks are rather weak, you should be able to dispatch of them quickly.
Just keep heading through the cave, looking for chests and XP.
Once you get to the end of the cave, you'll meet the mermaid, Kerriel.
She's lost her Conch. After talking to her, go up the cave to the boat.
Use the boat to head to the Solitary Eyeland, where a mini-boss is waiting.
(Hopefully you picked up on that pun, "Solitary Eyeland".)
Lore: This is a Norrath level and thus does not have any single God ruling it.
Technically there was no place called "Pit of Ill Omen" in EverQuest.
Though, there was a place called "Lake of Ill Omen" on Kunark, which does not
really resemble the area in Return To Arms. The waters in Lake of Ill Omen
were inhabited by Goblins, not Frogloks. On top of that, Droon, Broon and Proon
existed in EverQuest in East Karana. There were also two more called Froon and
Choon, they lived in West Karana. Mroon in South Karana and Maroon in the
Ocean of Tears. The odd thing is, none of these areas had Frogloks in them.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
----------------------- Solitary Eyeland (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: N/A | Chests: 3 | Bosses: Broon
Boss Walkthrough:
Soon as you come in to this area, you'll see Broon coming up in a cut-scene.
He's not that hard. Just get around to his back and he'll fart, on you.
Just wack at him a few times until he stops farting, then get out of there.
Wait for his fart to go away, the green cloud. And then make him fart again.
He will not attempt to use his farting attack if his old cloud is around.
Once he's dead pick up everything he drops, the chests are out in the water.
They're pretty far out there, though. You can get them if you really want to.
Head back to the boat and head to the Island of Lost Hope.
Note: The Conch will come off the last Cyclops killed.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
--------------------- Island of Lost Hope (Good & Evil) ------------------------
Monsters: Frogloks, Sea Monsters, Fire Beetles | Chests: 7 | Bosses: Droon
Walkthrough:
Once here, you're on a bridge, walk along the bridge until you get to the end
of it with the Save Point. If you look around it will look like you're suck,
but you're not. You need to go in to the water on the farther side of the
bridge you came up on. By farther side, I mean farthest side from the boat.
The water you walk into is pinched by the wall and the bridge. Very small.
Keep following that path, killing Frogloks along the way.
There's a new monster here too. The Sea Monster. These boast a ton of HPs.
Just take them out slowly and you'll be fine.
Keep heading forward until you reach Droons' Den. Enter it.
Boss Walkthrough:
He's the same thing as Broon. Just use the same stuff you did on Broon,
and you'll get through here easy. Once he's dead, look for the chests and
head through the "North Exit". You'll come out back the Island of Lost Hope.
Once you're back out in the Island of Lost Hope, you'll get to meet a new
monster as soon as your screen pops up. They're Fire Beetles.
They're not too strong, but they're hard to hit, they like to buzz around.
Once they're dead, keep heading up and fall off the bridge,
then head back to the boat. Pick Isle of Deep Regret for the boat ride.
Note: The Conch will come off the last Cyclops killed.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
--------------------- Isle of Deep Regret (Good & Evil) ------------------------
Monsters: Frogloks, Fire Beetles | Chests: 3 | Bosses: Proon
Walkthrough:
Nothing new here.
Just kill stuff and open chests while looking for Proons' Lair.
Once you find Proons' Lair, go on in, this guy isn't that hard.
Easier than Droon and Broon. For one fatal weakness...
Boss Walkthrough:
You'll get a cut-scene of him coming up, then you're left to fight him.
You can use the same stuff you did on Droon and Broon.
But this guy has another weakness. His off-hand is it, he's unable to hit you
if you're on that side. So what you do is you get up to it,
and just swing like crazy making sure that you move to his side while you swing,
that's it. He'll drop so fast it isn't even funny. Though this may not work if
you have a very slow attack speed, but if that's true, you can make him fart.
Once he's dead pick up everything he dropped and head back to the boat.
May sure you got the Conch from him. Pick Gnome's Island for the ride.
Note: The Conch will come off the last Cyclops killed.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the Conch dropped.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
------------------------ Gnome's Island (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Sea Monsters | Chests: 0 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
On entering the area, a Gnome will tell you that the village is under attack.
You can save these Gnomes if you want to, it will temporarily open a bonus area.
By temporarily, I mean once you leave this level you'll have to save them again.
If you save them or not, there's a shop here were the Gnomes are.
Once you're done shopping head to any of the three cave entrances.
If you did save them, have a look at the Secret Levels: The Gothic Castle.
Bug Notes: Camera bug coming out of the shop.
To Fix: Change zoom level.
--------------------------- Sea Cave (Good & Evil) -----------------------------
Monsters: Sea Monsters, Amphians | Chests: 5 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Any entrance you come in from, you can get were you're going, they all connect.
There's a new monster here called Amphians, their spit is really annoying and
it can hurt. They block sometimes if you try to melee them also.
Take them out as fast as possible. There are two mini-bosses here, Sea Monsters.
They fight no different, so just take them out any way you want.
Keep heading through this cave, looking for Kerriel again. Once you find her,
give her the Conch she asked for. Giving it to her, she'll 'say' you're blessed.
And that's it, really, you can breath underwater now... really.
Use the portal to leave. And go back to Tranquility or Fear.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
============================ Plane of Water 6*5 ================================
------------------------ Plane of Water (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Water Demons, Sea Monsters | Chests: 2 | Bosses: NA
Walkthrough:
New monsters here, Water Demons. They hit fairly hard and block sometimes.
Nothing too much to worry about unless you get mobbed by them.
Look around for things to break, killing Water Demons as you go.
You'll eventually find a portal, at a four way intersection. Saying that you
came up to the portal, facing North. You'll want to go West, to the left.
Head in that direction, killing more Water Demons. Once you reach the cave,
you'll see a Sea Monster, he's the same as the weak ones back in Ill Omen.
Head in to the cave, Good & Evil will get different levels/objectives.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Water is Coirnav the Avatar of Water.
Not to be confused with Prexus the Ocean Lord who rules the Plane of the Deep.
Coirnav keeps constant watch over E`ci, Povar and Tarew Marr.
(E`ci, Povar and Tarew are gods and are anagrams for Ice, Vapor and Water)
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
------------ Reef of Coirnav, West (Good) / Safety Chamber 1 (Evil) ------------
Monsters: Undead / Water Demons, Undead | Chests: 2 / 4 | Bosses: N/A / N/A
Walkthrough:
Good:
You'll need to push that "Stone of Coirnav", all the way to the end to a hole.
The hole is at the portal. When you enter you'll see the "Stone of Coirnav",
right in the center of the room. Once you push the Stone on to the hole,
you'll see "One of Three Holes Plugged". And you can use the portal to head
back to the Plane of Water portal at the four way intersection.
Once back, head to the North this this time (So straight across the way you
came up to here the first time), you'll meet another Sea Monster and a cave.
Evil:
You're mission is different. Coming in here, it looks like you're trapped.
You're not, swing at the walls. One of them will break, the map helps here,
it can give the breakable walls away. You'll need to travel around the
level looking for the portal, which you'll need to break the wall to get in.
On breaking in to that room, it will say; "One of Three Seals Broken."
You are free to use the portal to head back to the Plane of Waters fourway
intersection to head to the next area.
Once back, head to the North this this time (So straight across the way you
came up to here the first time), you'll meet another Sea Monster and a cave.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
----------- Reef of Coirnav, North (Good) / Safety Chamber 2 (Evil) ------------
Monsters: Undead (Good & Evil) | Chests: 3 / 0 | Bosses: N/A / N/A
Walkthrough:
Good:
Sadly, you have to keep pushing another "Stone of Coirnav" to the next hole.
It's not fun, but apparently someone has to do it. Once you've sealed the next
hole, go ahead and use the portal to head to the four way intersection again.
Once there, head the only way you haven't. East. And head into the last cave.
Evil:
You probably have it easier than Good here, those stones are annoying.
However, you have to do the exact same thing again, find the portal room, and
break the wall into it, which breaks the seal. Once that is complete, head back
to the four way intersection one last time, and head East to the next cave.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
------------ Reef of Coirnav, East (Good) / Safety Chamber 3 (Evil) ------------
Monsters: Undead / Water Demons, Undead | Chests: 0 / 4 | Bosses: N/A / N/A
Walkthrough:
Good:
Oh boy! Another "Stone of Coirnav"! Luckly, this level is for the most part a
straight line. So just get the stone to the end and plug the last hole.
On plugging the hole, you'll see a clam in a cut-scene spitting out items.
One of these items is the Shard of Water, make sure you pick it up!
When you have the Shard of Water, you're free to leave and go to the next level.
Evil:
This level, compared to the last two, is a huge maze. There's a couple walls
that you have to break in order to get to the portal room, which you never
actually had to do before. But once you get to the portal room and break the
seal, you'll see a clam in a cut-scene spitting out items.
One of these items is the Shard of Water, make sure you pick it up!
When you have the Shard of Water, you're free to leave and go to the next level.
Bug Notes: Two Bugs.
First: Clam explodes, and does not leave the Shard of Water behind.
To Fix: Please read Known Bugs for this.
Second: Not being able to pick up the shard that pops out.
To Fix Second: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
=========================== Plane of Torment 6*6 ===============================
-------------------- Plane of Torment, East (Good & Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Ghouls, Tormenters | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Good & Evil start off on different ends of the zone but meet up in the middle.
There's two new monsters here, Ghouls and Tormenters.
Ghouls come out in hordes, they're a lot like Vampires in the way the move,
but they wack you with their tounge, can feign death, and are very annoying.
The Tormenters are really rough. They'll charge at you, running faster than
you can, knock you down, then finish you off with a few attacks.
Once you're in the zone, slowly move forward, killing everything.
You'll eventually see a cut-scene with some ghouls running around.
You'll then be next to a fire you can 'steal'. Leave it there for a second.
Kill off all the ghouls until you get up to the dead end.
Now, run back to the fire, 'steal' it and run back to the dead end and light
the diamond shaped thing and a bridge will form.
This is where Good & Evil merge.
You'll see a Dark Elf, Gol Nazyn, speak with him and then you'll need to go
back to the fire and rush past Gol Nazyn to light the diamond thing up here.
Make sure you get the portal here. There's another fire you'll have to steal,
make sure you clear the way to the diamond first. Then light the diamond.
And then head across the "Bridge of Sorrow" to Plane of Torment, West.
Note:
In multiplayer, a player can grab the fire and then the other players can
be waiting at the diamond and light it. This can be used to skip some areas.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Torment is Saryrn the Mistress of Torment.
The platforms you walk along are suspended above a blood filled lake.
Even the air is misted with blood. The entire land feeds off of suffering.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------- Plane of Torment, West (Good & Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Ghouls, Tormenters | Chests: 2 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
This is the same thing as East, however, you'll need to go around a square after
you hit the second Save Point in the area to be able to get a fire close
enough to cross the last bridge. At the second save point, there are two
Tormenters. If you thought one was annoying, watch out here.
After crossing the last bridge, kill the next two Tormenters, and then enter
the Citadel of Pain, South.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------- Citadel of Pain, South (Good & Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Creeps, Tormenters | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
New monster, Creeps, there are two types of them, one will jump out seemingly
out of nowhere. If you look really close, you can see them waiting, they're
really fast, but weak. Take them out quick. The other type is ranged,
they shoot arrows and do more damage than any other ranged monster in the game.
There's a trick to them. If you let them see you, then run behind a corner
where they can't hit you, they'll try to run up and find you.
So you can wait and ambush them. Keep heading forward, just ignore the shard
if you see it, you can't reach it yet. Once you find Citadel of Pain, North.
Head on in.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------- Citadel of Pain, North (Good & Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Avatars of Agony, Creeps, Tormenters | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
It's easy for a while in here, head up to the first save point and save.
Keep heading up the path, and you'll meet the new monster, Avatar of Agony.
These nasty things are fast. Way faster then they should be,
when they first see you, sometimes they'll get up on their arms, and charge at
you at super speed, and once they reach you they'll swing their arms like crazy,
this can all be blocked, so block their attacks, taking cheap shots at them.
After these, there's a large room with a Tormenter miniboss and Archer Creeps,
either try to pull the creeps out, or the Tormenter of the room.
Take them on one on one, the Tormenter is rough. Harder than some actual bosses.
But fights the same as the others. Once they're all dead, head up two more rooms
and exit back to the Citadel of Pain, South.
Once back in Citadel of Pain, South, there's a short path between you and the
shard. Kill the Creeps and Tormenters and grab the shard. Head back to the
portal and go to Plane of Torment, East. All that is needed here is to go talk
to Gol Nazyn. Once you talk to him, head back to Tranquility or Fear.
The next is a split up for Good and Evil, so read the area that is for you.
Good: read "Grimror" below.
Evil: read "Swamp of Bile" below.
Bug Notes: Two Bugs.
First: Not being able to pick up the shard.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
Second: Gol Nazyn not responding to you having the shard.
To Fix: I have no idea how to fix it, read Known Bugs for more information.
=========================== Plane of Disease 6*7 ===============================
------------------------------ Grimror (Good) ----------------------------------
Monsters: Mosquitos, Bubonians | Chests: 9 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Good and Evil start in different areas, but meet up in the same after the first.
This place is a maze and two new monsters to deal with.
Neither of them being strong, but they can deal damage in hordes.
Try not to let yourself get mobbed. There's a few chests you can look for here,
but what you're mainly looking for is the exit. To the Plane of Disease.
Find it and leave this area.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Disease is Bertoxxulous The Plaguebringer.
The land is said to resemble that of human skin, black hair grow like trees,
rivers consist of bodily fluids. Even the air is poisonous.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
--------------------------- Swamp of Bile (Evil) -------------------------------
Monsters: Bubonians, Gnaws, Spawners | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Good and Evil start in different areas, but meet up in the same after the first.
This place is a maze also, you start off seemly suck in a small boxed in area.
There's a little staircase up to the platform with the Save Point though.
So look all over for it, it's really hard to see.
There's new monsters here, Bubonians and Spawners, which make Gnaws.
Bubonians are weak alone, Spawners have no attacks, but spit out Gnaws.
Gnaws are hard to hit and see, they're very, very weak also,
but if you get trapped by their massive numbers, you'll die fast.
What you're looking for here is the exit, to the Plane of Disease. Find it.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Disease is Bertoxxulous The Plaguebringer.
The land is said to resemble that of human skin, black hair grow like trees,
rivers consist of bodily fluids. Even the air is poisonous.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
----------------------- Plane of Disease (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: Festering Hags, Gnaws, Spawners | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
If you're Evil, you'll need to speak with Bertoxxulous.
Also, Evil characters will need the town portal here, so they can speak with
Bertoxxulous again later. Both Good and Evil, are looking for the Portals.
Good players are here to break the Quest Portals.
Evil players are here to turn them on.
Festering Hags are weak casters with a lot of HPs. They also fly around.
Good players, you can read about Spawners and Gnaws in Evil's Swamp of Bile.
There's eight portals you need to hit, one is in the center of the zone,
another you cannot get to yet. Once you hit seven of eight Quest Portals,
there's a cave all the way on the fathest end of the zone from where you came.
Called Arachna Caves. Make sure you've hit seven of eight Quest Portals.
Note: Don't confuse Town Portal with Quest Portal. Town Portals will send you
to town, Quest Portal is the thing you're looking for, for the Quest, in the
lower right hand side of the screen you'll see a counter for how many more you
need before you'll finish the quest here in the Plane of Disease.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
------------------------- Arachna Caves (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Ants, Black Widows, Scorpions, Drachnids | Chests: 0 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
There's two minibosses here that you don't need to kill, the Drachnids.
There's another one that you need to kill, as it's in your way.
The little bugs are nothing to worry about. Unless there's some around while
you're trying to kill Drachnids. Drachnids will leap at you, and try to hit you.
You can block a Drachnid, but they have poison that gets through the block,
and this poison can make you 'hiccup' lowering your guard.
Theres a slow attack that a Drachnid uses, find it,
and take cheap shots after he does it.
Once you're done, find the second exit to the Plane of Disease. And head out.
It should be really close to a Town Portal here.
Once you're outside, there's a bunch of spawners. Take them out carefuly.
Head up the stairs, and hit the last quest portal, if your good, it will give
you a shard, if you're evil, you'll need to go back to Bertoxxulous,
there's a town portal just inside the Arachna Caves. Hopefully you listened
to me when I told you to touch the Town Portal next to him before.
Bug Notes: Not having the shard pop in their inventory.
First: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
============================= Plane of Valor 6*8 ===============================
------------------------- Plane of Valor (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: Warboars, Undead | Chests: 2 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
There's two Warboars here, big ones and little ones. The big ones have more HPs.
They can only attack in front of them, keep this in mind.
Head down the map and you might see a sword you cannot pull out.
It says; "Only a true champion can remove this weapon." you cannot do anything
with it. (yet) But if you wanna know what it is for, look at the Side Quests.
Keep heading up the map and you'll come to a graveyard.
The graveyard spits out undead like crazy.
Try to just run past it, as I don't think you can kill 'all' the undead.
Up the path a little ways is Mithaniel Marr.
He says you need to use the portal behind him, do so.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Valor is Mithaniel Marr the Truthbringer.
Mithaniel Marr has a sister by the name of Erollisi Marr the Queen of Love.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
============================= Plane of Fire 6*9 ================================
----------------------- Obsidian Forest (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Goblins, Fire Beetles | Chests: 0 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
There are three minibosses here, large Goblins. They're worth some decent XP.
They fight like a lot like any orc you've seen.
Other then the massive hordes of Goblins and Fire Beetles, there's nothing new.
Just kill along the way while looking for the South Obsidian Forest.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Fire is Fennin Ro the Tyrant of Fire. This God
has a son that goes by the name Solusek Ro the Burning Prince, this God rules
over the Plane of Sun. Plane of Sun derives its power from the Plane of Fire.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
--------------------- South Obsidian Forest (Good & Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Fire Demons, Goblins, Fire Beetles | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
New monster, Fire Demons, they look like the Human Torch.
They just like to stand there and cast spells, like Rain of Fire.
Other then those, there's another miniboss Goblin. That's about it.
You need to find a ladder down to the Upper Lakes of Fire.
There's a lot of monsters here and they all can do some damage, stay alive.
Find the ladder and head on down to the Upper Lakes of Fire.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
---------------------- Upper Lakes of Fire (Good & Evil) -----------------------
Monsters: Goblins, Fire Beetles, Lava Monsters | Chests: 6 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Welcome to the area I hate the most.
I hate this place with the power of a thousand burning suns.
Step in the lava, you die, don't and you get pelted with rocks by Lava Monsters.
Melees best bet to kill the lava monsters, is to get as close to them as they
can and guard. The Lava Monster will try to walk up and slap you, once he does,
back off a little bit and guard some more, pulling him out of the lava.
Heading the way you should, you'll see a ladder that's filled with fire,
pass it for now and look for another ladder.
Head down the second ladder, to the Lower Lakes of Fire.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
---------------------- Lower Lakes of Fire (Good & Evil) -----------------------
Monsters: Fire Demons, Fire Beetles, Lava Monsters | Chests: 2 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Coming in to the zone, there's two paths, left and right, take either way.
You'll eventually see a ladder going back up to the Upper Lakes of Fire.
On using this ladder, you'll find yourself in a small boxed in area next to
the ladder that was filled with lava, inside this small area is a tiny crank
valve you need to use, this will stop the lava flow to the ladder.
Though you'll need to go back to the Lower Lakes of Fire and head to the other
side to use the other ladder to get to the other side of the ladder filled with
lava, to hit another crack valve to completely stop the lava flow.
Now that that's out of the way, head back to Lower Lakes of Fire and head to the
ladder you used to get here the first time. (The middle ladder) and head back to
the Upper Lakes of Fire. Once you're back in the Upper Lakes of Fire,
go back to the Ladder that was filled with lava, and head down it.
Once you use that ladder, you'll be back in the Lower Lakes of Fire.
There's some Fire Demons here, take them out and save. There's a boss coming up.
Once you're saved, head down the ladder to the Lair of the Dragon.
Bug Notes: Lava not stopping around the ladder to get to the boss.
To Fix: ??? Maybe the people that told me this just missed the levers.
----------------------- Lair of the Dragon (Good & Evil) -----------------------
Monsters: N/A | Chests: 0 | Bosses: Dozekar
Boss Walkthrough:
Soon as you come in, you'll see a cut-scene with him. Soon as the battle starts,
run to the side. Melee need to time their attacks, if he's not in the middle of
another action, he'll hit you with his tail, or bite you.
Range players just need to keep moving and shoot at him when he's in an action.
He's got a few attacks, one is he'll breath fire, another is a huge fire storm.
And he'll bite and tail swipe. Just time your attacks when he's breathing or
calling the storm. Once he's dead, pick up the shard that sometimes falls in the
middle under him. It's hard to grab when he does that, but you still can.
You need to pick it up before you can leave. Once you've got it,
head over to the portal, and head back to Tranquility or Fear.
When you're back in town, head back to the Plane of Valor.
There are two new chests, up near Mithaniel Marr. You'll need to speak with him.
He'll tell you to use the portal behind him again, use it and head to the next
area, the Plane of Storms.
Lore: Dozekar did in fact exist in EverQuest though he went by the name
Dozekar the Cursed, and he did not live in the Plane of Fire. He lived in the
Temple of Veeshan. Veeshan the Mother of all Wurms is a God that rules over the
Plane of Sky, not to be confused with the Plane of Air. The Plane of Air was
ruled by Xegony the Queen of Air. Veeshans size is said to be that of the Moon.
The moon is home to Luclin the Maiden of Shadows, who rules the Plane of Shadow.
Veeshan is an anagram for Heavens. Xegony is an anagram for Oxygen.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the shard dropped by Dozekar.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
=========================== Plane of Storms 6*10 ===============================
------------------------ The Wilderness (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Earth Elementals, Snow Badgers | Chests: 0 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Welcome, to the first place in the game with useless side areas.
There's two caves that are not needed for anything. Thunder Cave and Wind Cave.
The Storm cave is the correct cave. Anyway, two new monsters to deal with.
Earth Elementals are a lot like Lava Monsters, but there is no lava, hurray!
Snow Badgers are like Warboars, only bigger.
Either go in to the side areas or dont, just XP and loot in them.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Storms is Karana the Rain Keeper.
In EverQuest, Karana is under attack by Agnarr the Storm Lord who wants to steal
Karanas powers, but when aided by players, Agnarr fails and is defeated.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
------------------- Thunder Cave & Wind Cave (Good & Evil) ---------------------
Monsters: Goblins, Snowmen | Chests: 1 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough - Thunder Cave:
There's only one way in and out of here, this is just a side area.
Nothing too great. This place has the one chest, and the Snowmen.
The Snowmen are just like Tormenters, use the same stuff on them.
Walkthrough - Wind Cave:
Same as Thunder Cave. another side area. This place has no chests.
However, this one has a miniboss that will net you some items/XP.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------------- Storm Cave (Good & Evil) ----------------------------
Monsters: Goblins | Chests: 4 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Here's the cave you need to be in. This is a rather large cave.
Just take out the Goblins, moving forward, and look for the second exit back to
the Wilderness. Once you find it, you'll be in an unreachable part of the
Wilderness. Because our heros are too stupid to be able to move through those
two little trees. Head up the side of the mountain.
And in to The Caves of Mount Grenidor.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
------------------ The Caves of Mount Grenidor (Good & Evil) -------------------
Monsters: Bubonians | Chests: 16 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
You'll start in the area next to a man, he'll tell you that the Bubonians are
drawing power from the Shard of Storms. What you need to do here is walk past
all of them. As long as you're not too close to them, they won't see you.
Also, don't get on front of them, they see farther then. You're not really
sneaking here, just don't get too close, and don't get in front of them.
In the last part of the area, there's side path with a lip you can walk along,
You have to go down this small side area in order to get to the exit.
Once you make it to the Portal/Check Point, make sure you touch the portal.
Remember; you're not sneaking. Also use a Gate Scroll if some get on you.
Using a Gate Scroll and coming back, the AI takes a few seconds to pick you up.
Giving you time to run away. Once there, exit to The Great Glacier.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
----------------------- The Great Glacier (Good & Evil) ------------------------
Monsters: Goblins, Snow Badgers | Chests: 2 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Just kill everything while you move forward here, not much to it.
This is a fairly large area, though and it can take some time to get through.
You're looking for a little staircase down to the Bastion of Thunder.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------- The Bastion of Thunder (Good & Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Snowmen, Snow Badgers | Chests: 7 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
The Snowmen are just like Tormenters, use the same stuff on them.
Kill stuff, look for chests, and find the portal and save point.
Use the Save Point, for the boss coming. Enter the area called Hidden Glacier.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
---------------------- The Hidden Glacier (Good & Evil) ------------------------
Monsters: Snow Badgers | Chests: 0 | Bosses: Wenglox
Boss Walkthrough:
Entering the zone, don't move. Try to move along the walls slowly, pulling the
Snow Badgers. Doing this, try to kill as many Badgers as you can without getting
Wenglox mad. After you kill as many as you can, or you get Wenglox mad,
run around in a circle. He's like other Snowmen, but he doesn't charge at you
and he fires Ice Bolts instead. The Ice Bolts are weak. In melee, he's the same
as any Tormenter or Snowmen, so you shouldn't have a problem if you took out
enough of the Snow Badgers. Getting swarmed by them can be very bad.
After he's dead, pick up the Shard of Storms.
And head back to the Bastion of Thunder and use the portal.
Go to the Caves of Mount Grenidor, where it's time for some revenge.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the Shard dropped by Wenglox.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
------------------- The Caves of Mount Grenidor (Good & Evil) ------------------
Monsters: Bubonians | Chests: 16 (Unless you got any before) | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Now that you have the Shard, these guys are the same as they were back in the
Plane of Disease. You need to kill them all before you can advance.
Once their all dead, head back to town. After you're done shopping,
head back to the Plane of Valor, this time, for real.
Bug Notes: Bubonians not getting weaker after getting the shard.
To Fix: Make sure you actually have the shard. You may have missed it.
============================ Plane of Valor 6*11 ===============================
------------------------ Plane of Valor (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Warboards, Undead, Minotaurs | Chests: Any you missed | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
New monster! Minotaurs, they aren't weak and they hit hard. Very hard.
They'll either swing their axe, or both their shield and axe, or headbutt you.
Sometimes when almost dead, they'll drop their weapons, it looks like they die.
I've fallen for it sometimes and tried running past them then getting headbutted
from the side. Don't let that happen. Fight past them all and get up to
Mithaniel Marr. Just before Mithaniel Marr and after the graveyard, there are
two minotaurs. Take them out. After you talk to Mithaniel Marr, Good or Evil,
he'll send you to the next area.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
----------------------- Plane of Valor 2 (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: Warboars, Samurai, Mosquitos, Gladiators | Chests: 5 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Samurai and Gladiators are the same. Mosquitos are the same as before too.
Same with the boars. There's four minibosses here, all Samurai.
You need to kill them all and get the keys they drop.
Make sure when you kill them you actually loot the key, if you don't and you
enter the next area, you'll have to restart the level.
Just get all four keys and head in to the Halls of Honor.
For the people that can't find the bosses:
When you zone into this area, don't move, point your camera to the save point.
This will be our makeshift north. (You may only see it on your map)
From here, head east, to the right and hug the wall.
After a short walk, you'll come to a 3 way in the mountains; the boss is in the
south-east path; kill him and take the key. Now go back to the zone-in area.
This time head north and hug the West (Left) wall. After a decent amount of
walking, the left wall should curve south-west and you'll be in a tiny path
filled with water. Just at the end of this is the boss. Now, go back to the
beginning of the tiny path filled with water, and head north some more while
hugging the left wall more also. The path should veer full west shortly.
After it does turn west, you'll come up to a large stoned area, the boss is
in the back of it. After he's dead, head east while hugging the north wall.
After a pretty short walk, you should just happen to find the last boss in front
of the doorway to the next area. That should be all four bosses and keys.
Before entering the next area, ensure you have the keys in your accessories.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up a key.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
------------------------ Halls of Honor (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Gladiators, Samurai | Chests: 12 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
A good amount of chests here to look for, but other than that, nothing.
Ignore the shard in the middle, you need items from inside this area to get it.
You need to open each sarcophagus with a key from the area before.
Find one, open it and get the incantation out of it, they looks like a scroll.
Once you have all four, walk up to the shard and lower the barrier,
then take the shard. After you have it, you're ready for the next level.
Faydark. So go do some shopping.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up a incantation or shard.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
=========================== Norrath: Faydark 6*12 ==============================
---------------------- Kelethin (Good) / Orc Caves (Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Orcs / Wood Elves | Chests: 8 / 9 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Both Good & Evil start out in different areas, but what you do is the same.
Talk to the Orc Commander if you're evil, or Leithkorias if you're good.
They both ask you the same thing, clear out the attacking side from their base.
This is optional, but you may want to do it since you're here.
If you do, the doors open to the other side. Kelethin doors open if you're Evil,
and the Orc Cave doors open if you're Good. After saving them or not, exit here.
Lore: This is a Norrath level and thus does not have any single God ruling it.
In EverQuest, Greater Faydark was home to the Wood Elves of Kelethin.
The High Elves of Felwithe and the Orcs of Crushbone. These Elves were
constantly at war with the Orcs, and their leader, Emperor Crush.
Bug Notes: One orc left on Good side.
To Fix: Look behind buildings too. He's there. You blind people!
------------------------ Faydark Forest (Good & Evil) --------------------------
Monsters: Orcs (Good) / Wood Elves (Evil) | Chests: 1 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Good need to break the Spirit Anchors and Evil need to turn them on.
There's eight in the area, so turn them all on or break them all.
Once this is done, you are free to leave, however,
only do so if you decided not to save the main base.
Ignore the Unexplored Tomb, you don't have anything you need to get in now.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
---------------------- Orc Caves (Good) / Kelethin (Evil) ----------------------
Monsters: Orcs / Wood Elves | Chests: 9 (Good) / 8 (Evil) | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
The reason you wanted to come here, was for the Archaeologist's Shovel
used in the Secret Level: Unexplored Tomb. It can come out of any box, off
any monster or out of any chest. So look all over. Once you find it don't use it
on the Unexplored Tomb, wait to use it until after the next level.
You're good to leave for the second to last level now.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the Shovel.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
========================== Plane of Nightmares 6*13 ============================
---------------------- Plane of Nightmares (Good & Evil) -----------------------
Monsters: Creeps, Kobolds, Minotaurs | Chests: 3 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Nothing new here, just a giant maze in the middle of the zone.
Yeah, a maze... it's not that hard though. Just get through it.
Now there's two exits to the maze, one is the way you need to go to the Dungeon.
The, other is to a side area, getting out of the side area is not easy.
If you want to skip the side area, skip the next part of this walkthrough.
Here's a tip, there's not a single check point in this level.
So use Gate Scrolls to make check points.
Note: There's an item here called the Words of Spiritual Harmony, these are
needed to open a door in the Unexplored Tomb, this item gives people problems.
It's very difficult to find because it can come out of any breakable anywhere
in the Plane of Nightmares, in any of the zones here. There is a minor trick to
finding them, just search the entrance, then leave with a Gate Scroll and reset
the level using the reset trick in the Options section of the guide.
And keep searching the entrance, it's fairly common to find it there.
Lore: The God for the Plane of Nightmares is Terris-Thule the Dream Scorcher.
Terris-Thule is the Daughter of Cazic-Thule the ruler of the Plane of Fear.
And Sister to Morell-Thule the Lord of Dreams ruler of the Plane of Dreams.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the Words of Spiritual Harmony.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
---------------------------- Lost Tomb (Good & Evil) ---------------------------
Monsters: Gnaws, Avatars of Agony | Chests: 15 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
This is a side area, it is not required that you come in here, but there are a
lot of chests here, so it may be worth your while.
You'll notice coming in here that all the chests are locked.
Fight your way through the Gnaws and getting to the back area, I recommend using
a Gate Scroll now. Using it makes it so if you die, you'll start where you came
in, and since there are zero check points in the Plane of Nightmares, you may
want to. Once you go in to the back area with four locked chests, a cut-scene
will start. It shows four Avatars of Agony crawling out to get you.
When the cut-scene is over, none, some or all will charge at you, take them out
one by one. Once this is done, you can open all the chests in here,
but also, there are now Avatars of Agony all over the area.
Slowly move out of the zone, opening chests as you go.
Good luck, this is probably the hardest area in the game for regular monsters!
Once you're out head to the Dungeon.
Bug Notes: Chests not unlocking.
To Fix: ???
----------------------------- Dungeon (Good & Evil) ----------------------------
Monsters: Creeps, Drachnids, Specters | Chests: 0 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
No new monsters here, the Drachnids are weaker versions of that in the
Plane of Disease. Just fight your way forward, if need be, use a Gate Scroll to
make a check point. Once you find the stairway down, just go ahead and go down.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
-------------------------- Lower Dungeon (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: Creeps | Chests: 5 | Bosses: N/A
Walkthrough:
Only archers here, use the wall tactic to get them to get in close.
Archers can really suck down your life quick, so try not to leave yourself
without a wall to duck behind. You're looking for the Bloodless Tomb entrance.
Where the boss awaits. You may want to go to town just to save.
Bug Notes: I've never heard of a bug occurring in this area.
------------------------- Bloodless Tomb (Good & Evil) -------------------------
Monsters: Creeps | Chests: 0 | Bosses: Vanarhost
Boss Walkthrough:
After the cut-scene, guard and don't move. Moving down in to the middle of the
area will make unreachable creeps start shooting down at you.
Vanarhost has two modes, the first is the bite and teleport tactic.
Guard until he bites you, wait for him to back off and then smack him silly.
His second is when he pulls out a sword, this is where it gets tricky.
He fights kind of like a Gladiator, a really fast and strong one that is.
He likes to guard in this mode, best thing to do is the jump back move.
Once he's dead, he'll drop the Shard of Nightmares. And you're good to go.
It is recommended that you complete the side quests now, as when you beat the
last boss, you have a moment to leave or use the Planar Gateway to exit the
game, forcing you to save your completed game to unlock the next difficulty.
If you feel you're not quite strong enough for the side quests, you can
farm the last boss. Explained below.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the shard dropped by Vanarhost.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.
============================== Final Bosses 6*14 ===============================
-------------- Plane of Fear (Good) / Plane of Tranquility (Evil) --------------
Monsters: N/A | Chests: 0 | Bosses: Cazic-Thule (Good) / Mithaniel Marr (Evil)
Boss Walkthrough: Cazic-Thule (Good)
The best way to beat his first mode is to take out the skeletons.
If you take them out, he'll make more, that's when you can run in and attack.
His second mode, he likes to stay more in your face. He'll charge at you and
follow you around. There's really no good way to hit him if you're melee.
If you change directions on him when he gets close, he'll miss and make a slow
recovery on his swing, giving you some time to melee him.
Once he's dead, pick up the final shard and use the Planar Gateway.
Note: Do not hit Cazic-Thule while he is bright blue with melee, range or magic.
It's a damage return ability that he has, the damage returned is easily 200%.
Boss Walkthrough: Mithaniel Marr (Evil)
This guys nasty. Don't get to far away from him, or he'll fly at you, knock you
down and stab you. Don't guard for too long, or his sword will glow,
and it will knock you down. Try guarding and then jumping back and hitting him
once or twice, then guard again. There's another tactic to Marr that people use.
Run around the Planar Gateway and wait until he slows to a walk.
Once he does, used range on him. Yes, cheap indeed.
Once he's dead, pick up the final shard and use the Planar Gateway.
Congratulations, you've completed the game! You can now import your character
to the next difficulty, to try out the other side, Good or Evil.
And level up higher and find new, better loot.
Note: If you did not complete the side quests, but wanted to; as long as you
did not touch the Planar Gateway yet, you can exit the level by pushing start.
This is also how you farm the last boss, you kill him, collect your spoils and
then quit the level, go into something like Plane of Nightmares and use a Gate
Scroll to get out, then just return to the bosses area. He should be back.
Side quests lead to the best farming area in the game, the ability to use a
second earring, and a weapon that will probably last you all through Courageous.
Though the farming area is limited to your difficulty setting for grade of loot.
Bug Notes: Not being able to pick up the shard dropped.
To Fix: Drop some gems or potions. You have the 64 accessory bug.

It can only be found on rares, and thus why it isn't really a suffix.
What it does is the same as the Barbarian's `Strong Stance`.

Gems
================================================================================
Note: Gems are items you'll find randomly off monsters. Some types can only
come from a single type of monster, for example, you can only get a Fire Beetle
Eye from a Fire Beetle, and a Bone Chip from a Skeleton. Some only seem to come
from chests and boxes, such as the Misty Globe. Others are completely random.

8* - Side Quests
================================================================================
Q/A: About Side Quests
Q: I can't even find these side quests, how do I find them?
A: These side quests can be found by using the Planar Gateway, controls for this
can be found in the Options section of the guide. You're only allowed access to
a Medal Round after completing the level, and the Secret Level after completing
the Medal Round well enough to actually unlock it.
Q: What are these Bloodstones you keep talking about during this guide?
A: Bloodstones are part of a side quest you cannot complete until the end of
the game, these are needed to open the Twisted Nightmare. Which is the best
farming area in the game. It also it allows you to pull the Sword in the Stone.
Every Secret Level in the game holds a Bloodstone, and you need them all.
Q: What about Norrath Levels? I can't find a Medal Round for it.
A: Norrath levels do not have a Medal Round and the Secret Level is found
inside of the level itself. Pit of Ill Omen and Faydark are these two levels.
Q: Can I complete these multiple times on different difficulties?
A: No, the game saves which ones you've completed to the character and they stay
completed then on, even if you change difficulties. This also is true for the
Sword in the Stone, you can only pull it out once, and even Free Sylea, you're
only allowed to do this once also. Though when you change difficulties you will
lose your Bloodstones and will need to find them again in order to get back into
the Twisted Nightmare, the best farming area in the game.
Q: I didn't get a perfect score on a Medal Round! Does that mean I can't unlock
the Secret Level or get my bonus skill points? Or will I get more?
A: If you get fail to get a perfect score on a Medal Round, then later you
do manage to do it, the rewards will diminish to only give you what you didn't
get in the smaller reward, so rewards listed is everything possible to get.
Please remember if you're experiencing a bug, read known bugs.
======================== 8*1 Side Quests: Plane of War =========================
--------------------------- Medal Round: Blood Bath ----------------------------
Reward: 1 STA 1 STR 1 Skill Point | Opens: Warboar Caves
Walkthrough:
Here you will need to fight the four Horsemen, with using four or less health
potions. Mana doesn't count, so feel free to use those as much as you'd like.
While the Horsemen are on their horse, run in a line from left to right until
they charge at you, they should miss and you can get up close to them.
Once you're up close, stay about 3-5 feet away from them.
Spin around them staying on the Horsemens side with the shield, if you don't
he'll wack you. Once the horse stops spinning for a moment, wack at his side.
Then spin around him again, repeat until he's off the horse.
Once they're off the horses they get a little tricky, Ranged attackers will have
the best time in this round, as they can just run away, turn and shoot.
Melee attackers will need to time when they scream and run up and hit them a few
times, then run away. War screams and rains fire. Death summons a skeleton.
Disease fires off a weak poison bolt. Pestilence fires off Tagar's Insects.
If you win, you'll get a couple of rewards, including a secret level.
Depending on how many potions you used, you'll get larger or smaller rewards.
As long as you used four or under, you'll get the largest reward.
------------------------- Secret Level: Warboar Caves --------------------------
Monsters: Warboars, Kobolds, Undead Knight Boss | Chests: 5
Walkthrough:
This is a fairly long level, but there's not much here. As with all Secret
Levels, you'll want to find the Bloodstone. This Bloodstone can be found
normally in a box or chest. But you should also try to kill everything you see.
If anything, just to be thorough. So make sure you get the Bloodstone.
===================== 8*2 Side Quests: Plane of Innovation =====================
---------------------------- Medal Round: Tick Tock ----------------------------
Reward: 1 INT 1 DEX 1 Skill Point | Opens: Duff's Junkyard Fights
Walkthrough:
This level you'll start in the middle of a fairly small area, surrounded by
Clockworks, these Clockworks are not here to kill you, though. They will run
after these vents. Your objective is to kill all of them before they get there.
If you find you're having a hard time completing this one, come back later.
You must kill all of the Clockworks before they reach the vents pointed out on
the map in order to get the largest reward.
--------------------- Secret Level: Duff's Junkyard Fights ---------------------
Monsters: None | Chests: None
Walkthough:
Time for some gambling, there really isn't an objective here, but you should
try to complete this level for the Bloodstone. You have to win three bets in
a row in order to move on from one division to the next. It does not matter how
much you bet on these fights, just so long as you actually win.
The Bloodstone can only be found during Division Four, it is on the ground.
Division One: It's really hard to know who to bet on,
everyone seems to die when you bet on them, and win when you don't.
This is probably the hardest of all rounds, so good luck!
Division Two: Undead Gladiators are fairly good.
But they get destroyed by Model XXXIV. Bataar is also okay.
Division Three: Dark Sisters can be good sometimes, Growler is good.
Minions of Zek, will always lose, no matter who the other team is.
Division Four: Grug is the champion, Ogres are a pain in the game, they give
pain here too. Klay is good when Grug isn't around. But Grug will beat Klay.
Make sure you look for the Bloodstone once in Division Four before you leave.
It's randomly placed on the ground during this division.
====================== 8*3 Side Quests: Pit of Ill Omen ========================
------------------------- Secret Level: Gothic Castle --------------------------
Monsters: Vampires, Ogre Boss | Chests: None
Walkthough:
To get here, go to Gnomes Island, save all eight Gnomes, then speak with Babik.
Nothing cool about this level, other then the Ogre Boss, he can give more then a
whole level on Adventerous at level eleven.
If you come across an item on the ground that is "Dangerous". Ignore it for now.
This is the Bloodvine. The Bloodvine cannot be picked up until you are on the
quest Free Sylea. Which cannot be started or completed until the Plane of Fire.
Make sure you find the Bloodstone here as well. Which is found in a breakable,
and is generally found in the farthest corner of where you enter.
Always make sure you have the Bloodstone before leaving any Secret Level.
======================= 8*4 Side Quests: Plane of Water ========================
-------------------------- Medal Round: Depth Scurry ---------------------------
Reward: 1 INT 1 STA 1 Skill Point | Opens: 21 Leagues
Walkthrough:
In this area you will constantly need to restock on air near bubbles that are
littered throughout area, all the while collecting pearls and killing skeletons.
There's a tactic to stay near some air, wait for your air to almost
be empty, then push square once. And run like hell to the next pearl/air area.
The tiny bit of extra time this allows, can sometimes save your life.
Also, try to stay near some air and beat the crap out of all the skeletons in
the area, they might cause you to hiccup and run you out of air. So kill them.
In order to get the largest reward, you have to collect all the pearls.
It doesn't matter if you die picking up the last one.
I am horrible with .txt maps so I made this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/Kuthu/DepthScurry.jpg
As a side note, if you're not able to pick up all the pearls, then you're
hitting max accessory items. Look at Known Bugs for more information on this.
--------------------------- Secret Level: 21 Leagues ---------------------------
Monsters: None | Chests: 8
Walkthrough:
Well, you're left for dead coming in to this level, so run down paths looking
for chests and breaking barrels, getting loot and looking for the Bloodstone.
When you die, you get to keep everything you had found.
The trick to this level, is that you can come right back here and get the rest
of the stuff. Even if you failed finding the Bloodstone. The game will remember
what you broke, so you can check other areas. Make sure you get the Bloodstone.
====================== 8*5 Side Quests: Plane of Torment =======================
---------------------------- Medal Round: Soulbreak ----------------------------
Reward: 1 INT 1 STA 1 Skill Point | Opens: Hells Cells
Walkthrough:
This is the hardest of all the Medal Rounds. You're going to have a lot of trial
and error here. So try to learn the level as best you can. Without trying too
hard to complete it your first time around. When you enter this area, you are
stripped of your armor and skills. Leaving you completely defenseless.
Your objective is to free all the Trapped Souls. Which is harder than it sounds.
The thing I found that worked the best, was to just make a break for it,
saving the hardest areas for last, so you can die saving the Soul.
The harder areas are the farthest from where you start, so avoid the paths on
the (If you're pointing north to look at the door you start behind) east.
There's about 2-3 Archers in a really little path and they're impossible to
dodge there. Skeletons offline take one point blank shot from a barrel.
Gnaws are way to fast to be killed by a barrel. So you need to spin around them
and take a cheap shot in to their side, by punching them. This can take quite a
few hits if you have low strength. Ogres take four point blank shots.
Archers you can push barrels up to and they won't shoot over them.
However, enchanted Archers do. So watch out for them.
In order to get the largest reward, you have to save all of the Souls.
If you are having problems loading this area, please read Known Bugs.
If you find this area too hard (And you probably will) you can wait do to this,
and it's actually recommended to try to hold off on this one as long as you can.
--------------------------- Secret Level: Hells Cells --------------------------
Monsters: Gladiators, Dark Elves | Chests: 7
Walkthrough:
This is a small level with a lot of breakables and a couple locked doors.
There are five locked doors, four of which you can get the key for inside here.
These keys are held by random Gladiators, you can find them and open the door
to the cell rooms. Though you shouldn't need to do this unless you want to.
The Bloodstone can be found in any breakable in the area. Make sure you find it.
If you happen to see the fifth door you cannot unlock, read Free Sylea.
Free Sylea cannot be started or completed until the Plane of Fire.
====================== 8*6 Side Quests: Plane of Disease =======================
---------------------------- Medal Round: Frogville ----------------------------
Reward: 1 DEX 1 STA 1 Skill Point | Opens: Crypts of Decay
Walkthough:
This is just a screwed up Pac-Man. Keep your map as large as you can, so you can
see the Kobolds running around. If one happens to see you, the thing that
worked for me, was to make a break for a corner and turning around it ASAP.
If you're to far away from one, the best thing is to turn and guard them,
and then jump back in to a path. Sometimes they break your guard, though.
You need all the frogs to get the highest reward.
Shadow Knights can make use of Shadow Step in this level.
------------------------- Secret Level: Crypts of Decay ------------------------
Monsters: Gremlin Archers, Minotaurs, Spiders | Chests: ?
Walkthrough:
I'm going to break this up into sections, as it can get confusing.
When you start the area, turn your camera so the door is at the top of your
screen, this will be our makeshift north, and you may want to remember that.
Take note that pretty much every lever in here is on a timer. So you only
have so long to get through the door that it opens.
Be fully aware that the Bloodstone can only be found in the last three rooms.
All of which are after just Section 12, which is all of Section 13.
Key Counts work like this, in this order: (Keys are called "Bone Key")
+1 (The amount you picked up in this section)
-1 (The amount you lost in this section)
=0 (The amount you should have beginning the next section)
For a video Walkthrough, go here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAvUMchuL4Q&fmt=6
Section 1:
Head through the door to the north by pulling the lever next to it.
In this next room, open the chest on the far left of the room for a key, then
use this key on the door to the north and head through.
Key Count: +1 -1 =0
Section 2:
In this next area, you'll come to a dead end with a door to the east and west,
along with a switch in the middle of them. Flip this switch and head through
the door on the left and kill spiders and take note of the path through here.
Note that spiders will some up out of the pits 3-4 times. Near the pit where
they come up out of is a chest, in this chest is a key, take it, then head to
the east, take note of the door that goes north, just above the switch for
the first part of Section 2, we'll call this Door A, remember that.
Keep heading east until it curves south with the switch and door.
This will take you back to Room 2 of Section 1, go in and go north again.
Key Count: +1 -0 =1
Section 3:
This is the same as Section 2, but this time, you're going to go through Door A.
So go to the switch inbetween the two doors and pull it. Then head through the
door on the left, and run to Door A, you're timed here. That's why you killed
the spiders because their webs slow you down and can even pull you back.
Key Count: +0 -0 =1
Section 4:
Once in Door A, you'll come to a four way, a door to the north and paths to the
east and west, head east and turn south at the first path, you'll quickly find
another lever and a door, once at this door, pull the level, run in, and then
open chests and run back out, you do not have long, but you need the key.
You can run in, kill the spiders, run out, then run in again for the key.
If you fail this, you'll be at the hall of the end of Section 2.
After that, head east all the way until it goes north or south only.
Go south from here and pull the lever, run in and kill all the spiders.
Now go back out and pull the lever again, this time, running past where the
spiders were and into the next timed door. Open the chest in here for a key.
Now go back to the four way.
Key Count: +2 -0 =3
Section 5:
Use the key you found to head through the door to the north of the four way.
There's a chest on the north part of this dead end which holds another key,
and a lever for a time door to the south. Once you pull this lever, run back
to the four way and then to the left and then through this once locked door.
Key Count: +1 -1 =3
Section 6:
Once entering this door, you have a locked door to your north, and a broken
grate that you can walk through to your left. Go through the locked door.
After this locked door, there is another directly in front of you, open that
as well and head into the room, where a minotaur and two archers are.
Key Count: +0 -2 =1
Section 7:
There's a locked door to the north and to the east and you only have one key
currently, so go through the north door and when you reach the next room
look for a chest with another key. And now there will be a door to the
east and west, both locked again, head through the left door.
Once in this left door, head to the left one room to a room that looks like an
"8", there's a key at the top of this room. Take it then go back to the right.
From here go south until you get to another lever with a timed door just below.
This is another one of those dart in and out doors, so pull the level and open
the chests then run out. If you fail, you'll be in the area behind the broken
gate in Section 6 and you'll have to run back. Once you have the key from the
dart in and out room, head just to the left to another locked door, and open it.
Key Count: +3 -3 =1
Section 8:
Pull the lever in this next room and head through the door on the left. Go south
a couple of steps to fight two archers, and then open this door with your last
key. You'll come to a switch between two doors again, pull the lever and go
through the north door to be greated by another minotaur with some archers.
Take note of the Lever before you leave, and remember it as Lever A.
Key Count: +0 -1 =0
Section 9:
There's two levers here, one for the door to the west, and one north.
Take note of the lever for the east door, that will be Lever B.
You want the north one, go in and all the way north, there's two chests here.
Each holding a key, get them then pull the lever and go into the door back to
Section 7's "8" room, then head in a giant circle all the way back to the room
with the minotaur and 3 archers of Section 8.
Key Count: +2 -0 =2
Section 10:
Pull Lever B that opens the west door this time. And kill the spiders on
the left side of this area. when you're in the spider area, you can go through
that southern path or the more middle east path, take the middle east one.
Take note of this lever, it will be Lever C. Open the door with a key below it.
Go through this door and head east more to another dead end with another lever.
Lever D, now remember to use this newly unlocked door. You'll need it.
Now that you have your pathing worked out, go back north to the double key room
before Room "8" of Section 7, by pulling Lever C and then moving around to
Lever D to the opened door. Then go around to Lever A of Section 8.
Don't pull the lever just yet, get ready for a long run!
Key Count: +0 -1 =1
Section 11:
Here we go, you're going to need to be quick here.
Pull Lever A, then run to Lever B, go around to Lever C, then through the door
and around to Lever D, then north through the door and east to Lever A.
If you're quick enough, Lever A's door will still be open, and you can run
through that and through the door just south, which Lever D opened. Whew!
Key Count: +0 -0 =1
Section 12:
Head south past the spider room that looks like an oval and you'll be in the
next part of a large maze. Take note of the two levers pinched into a small
path on the right hand side of the room, these will be Lever E (The south one)
And Lever F, the one above it. Now, go around to the other side of this room,
ignoring the north-west path. One door here can be opened with a key, open it.
Inside of there, we'll call this next locked door; Door 1, with the door more to
the south outside of the key locked door, Door 2.
Head back over to Lever E, and pull both Levers (E & F), Door 1 will open.
Run around and in, you may want to kill things in here so you have a clean
shot next attempt, while you're in here, there are two levers, the one closer
to the door will reopen Door 1 if you get locked in here, the other is Lever G.
Lever G will open the door just past Door 2. So go back to Lever E.
As a side note, E opens Door 2, and F opens Door 1.
Start from E, switch F on your way through, go to Door 1 then pull Lever G. Run
back out through Door 1 all the way to Door 2. Ignore the chest here, there is
no key in it. Go through the south door as it is timed also.
Key Count: +0 -1 =0
Section 13:
Now that you're here, start to break every thing you can as the Bloodstone can
now drop, it couldn't before. So look around in this small hallway for it.
If you don't find it here, it can be in the next room. Once you manage to find
the next door a little bit to the east, get ready for the boss. He's a minotaur.
The easiest way to kill him is to pull the lever, run in, get him to see you,
then run out pulling him through the door away from the archers in the room.
If the door closes on you before you pull him back through it, you cannot
reopen it from inside. After he's dead, make sure you pick up the key that he
drops, it is the last one, and you cannot reach the exit portal if you do not
get it. Be especially careful if you pulled him out of the room for this fact.
Now you should be good to head into the next room and kill some archers.
While you'll killing the archers, look around for the Bloodstone in this room.
If it still doesn't drop, it can drop in the last hallway with the exit portal.
Key Count: +1 -1 =0
======================= 8*7 Side Quests: Plane of Valor ========================
--------------------------- Medal Round: Endless Hour --------------------------
Reward: 1 STR 1 STA 2 Skill Points | Opens: The Isle of Dishonor
Walkthrough:
You need to kill at least 8 Warlords without dying.
Orc Warlords and Cyclops, all being mini-boss status with a couple adds that
constantly respawn. You can temporarily kill them off to get at the boss.
Though they respawn very quickly. The good news is, you should have experience
with both of these mini-bosses before. And you should know what works best.
------------------------ Secret Level: Isle of Dishonor ------------------------
Monsters: Dark Elves | Chests: 9
Walkthrough:
This place is littered with junk to break. So much in fact, it's almost painful.
There's so much stuff to scrounge through trying to find the Bloodstone, which
is pretty much the only reason for coming to this area.
======================= 8*8 Side Quests: Plane of Fire =========================
-------------------------- Medal Round: Gnomes Escort --------------------------
Reward: 1 INT 1 DEX 2 Skill Points | Opens: Torment's Furnace
Walkthrough:
As with any Medal Round, the higher level you are; helps. However this is quite
an easy level. Just stick with the Gnomes and try to kill anything that comes
out before they can hit the Gnomes, range helps a lot here. However, only one
Gnome needs to make it to the end to get the largest reward possible.
I've done this a couple of times and have never failed.
------------------------ Secret Level: Torments Furnace ------------------------
Monsters: Goblins, Fire Beetles, Tormenters | Chests: 0
Walkthrough:
This area is fairly large area with a couple scattered breakables for you to
look in to try to find the Bloodstone. There is another thing with this level;
The key in the middle of the lake with the fire field around it.
To get this key, on the two far ends of this level, there are Tormenter bosses.
Killing both of these two Tormenters will eliminate the fire field, allowing you
to grab the key. This key is used in the quest Free Sylea. (Read below)
====================== 8*9 Side Quests: Plane of Storms ========================
------------------------ Medal Round: Kobold Onslaught -------------------------
Reward: 2 DEX 1 INT 2 Skill Points | Opens: Frozen Wind Bunker
Walkthrough:
When the level starts, move to the bottom of the box you're in, and just hold
down the X button and throw those potions like crazy, if you see a big Kobold
come out, launch a few at their face and if you see a big group, launch some
potions in to it, if there's a Kobold attacking a cart, take it out before
another can get up to it. It takes two to blow up a cart. One can attack it
forever and not blow it up. If you save three carts you get the largest reward.
---------------------- Secret Level: Frozen Wind Bunker ------------------------
Monsters: Goblins | Chests: 4
Walkthough:
This area is a huge square with a shop run by Wood Elves in the center.
You can try your luck to find decent loot in this shop, but the main reason for
coming here, like the other levels, is the Bloodstone. Which can be found in any
of the breakables littered throughout the area.
========================= 8*10 Side Quests: Faydark ============================
----------------------- Secret Level: Unexplored Tomb --------------------------
Monsters: Mummies, Wraiths, Ghouls | Chests: 12
Walkthrough:
You're going to need two things for here.
1. Archaeologist's Shovel. Found inside Orc Caves (Good) or Kelethin (Evil).
2. Words of Spiritual Harmony. Found on breakables in the Plane of Nightmares.
Once you have these two items, you can come here. The Archeologist's Shovel gets
you inside the level, and the Words of Spiritual Harmony open a special door.
Behind the door is where the Bloodstone can drop. It cannot drop anywhere else.
There are two mini-bosses in here, the Wraith Boss, which only gives crappy XP,
and the best thing I've seen it drop is a healing potion, the other Mummy Boss
actually is worth while. Make sure you get the Bloodstone before leaving.
=================== 8*11 Side Quests: Plane of Nightmares ======================
----------------------- Medal Round: Death's Countdown -------------------------
Reward: 2 DEX 1 INT 3 Skill Points | Opens: Bloodstone Passage
Walkthrough:
What you need to do is kill 75 monsters before the time runs out.
The hardest thing about this is there are ranged Creeps that can kill you in a
few shots and Minotaurs littered throughout the area.
This is one of the Medal Rounds where a better weapon, or a couple levels could
be the difference between failing horribly or killing everything on the map.
---------------------- Secret Level: Bloodstone Passage ------------------------
Monsters: Kobolds, Creeps, Gremlins | Chests: 0
Walkthrough:
This is a short line-like level, there are hordes of monsters on this path.
The Bloodstone for this level is found on the ground, generally up near the side
of the tree line, near the back Save Point. If you have found all of the
Bloodstones thus far, you can enter the Twisted Nightmare. (Read below)
If you missed a Bloodstone, check your accessory window and check their names.
They are all named "Bloodstone of War" or "Bloodstone of Faydark" and the like.
Don't confuse them with the quest Shards like "Shard of War".
======================= 8*12 Side Quests: The Others ===========================
--------------------------- Side Quest: Free Sylea -----------------------------
Reward: Ability to use two Earrings
Walkthrough:
Free Sylea spans across three areas, the first of which, is Torments Furnace.
The Plane of Fire Secret Level. In this area you will need to kill the two
Tormenter mini-bosses to be able to pick up the key in the middle of the lake.
Once you have this key, you'll need to head over to Hells Cells, the Secret
Level for the Plane of Torment, once you get here, kill a couple Gladiators for
a key. Once you have a key from them, head and open the door behind the "Exit"
portal. In this room, one of the cells is locked and requires the key from
Torments Furnace, inside of this cell is Sylea, the Dark Elf. Open her cell and
talk with her. She'll ask you to get her a Bloodvine and give you a bag for it.
You'll then need to go to the Secret Level in the Pit of Ill Omen, by saving
all of the Gnomes from the attack, and riding the boat.
Somewhere inside of the level is a small pathway that breaks away from the
traditional "Square" feel of the level, this pathway is filled with water.
In the back of this room is the Bloodvine on the floor, pick it up and return to
Sylea, who is still standing outside of her cell. Talk to her and give her the
Bloodvine. She'll then will reward you with being able to use a second earring.
------------------------ Side Quest: Twisted Nightmare -------------------------
Reward: Ability to pull the Sword in the Stone
Walkthrough:
The Twisted Nightmare is located in the back of the Plane of Nightmares Secret
Level, Bloodstone Passage. In order to get in you must have all the Bloodstones
located throughout all of the Secret Levels in the game.
They are all named "Bloodstone of War" or "Bloodstone of Faydark" and the like.
Don't confuse them with the quest Shards like "Shard of War".
Assuming you have all of these you'll be allowed to enter and be greated with
multiple bosses. The Spider Queen, Mummy King, Arena Beast, Rallos Zek and
Innoruuk. These bosses come out one at a time and if you've played Champions of
Norrath, then you should know what to do here. For those that don't:
The Spider Queen:
This boss will constantly spit webs all over the place, if you have good speed,
then she is one of the easier bosses in the Twisted Nightmare. You just need to
move diagonally up to her, then just swing while moving to her side.
Mummy King:
This boss has a multiple moves, he can guard, but he doesn't move around that
much, which makes him fairly simple, but he can summon Mummies and Raiders to
assist him, but they really shouldn't be that much of a problem for you.
Arena Beast:
This is the boss no one likes. He's very hard to find an opening for, and he's
pretty quick for being so large. Take your time with him and find your openings.
Rallos Zek:
He's almost the same as he was in the beginning of the game, with the exception
of his higher health, damage, and maybe a skill or two. But you can fight him
pretty much the same way as you did back then.
Innoruuk:
He has his openings, like any other boss, find them and kill him. If you played
Champions of Norrath, you shouldn't have too much trouble with this guy at all.
On his death, wait around for his horribly long death sequence to end.
At which time you will get a pop-up window saying "You are now a true Champion."
If you would like to farm these bosses, just enter the portal again, you do not
need to leave the area, you just need to walk back in. If you do this too much,
you'll find that the ground will get littered with useless loot. So if you plan
to do this a while, make a little pile in a corner of stuff they dropped.
------------------------ Side Quest: Sword in the Stone ------------------------
Reward: (See Below)
Walkthrough:
Once you've completed the Twisted Nightmare, (See Above) you can pull the Sword
from the Stone which is located in the Plane of Valor, before the Skeleton
graveyard. Once you find it, claim your reward. A sword that if you obtain it
on Adventurous it should last you up until the end of Couragous or even longer.
It is recommended that you find a Calmed Misty Globe for these weapons.

================================================================================
9* - Known Bugs
================================================================================
This is a list of bugs that I have found or have been e-mailed to me.
Not all of these bugs are confirmed, and there's a chance that some of these
were not caused by the game, but just poor upkeep of their PS2 systems.
------------------------- Health & Mana Bonus - Confirmed ----------------------
Ever since the game came out, it's been passed around the official forums that
Health and Mana do not work. This is true, any item, be it a magical belt or
some gem that you had found, bonuses to Health and Mana will not take effect.
This is not to be confused with Stamina and Intellect, which do work.
-------------------------- 64 Accessory Limit - Confirmed ----------------------
Having 64 different items in your accessory screen, will not allow you to pick
up any more. Even if you have more weight you can hold, you cannot break the 64
limit. This does not only happen to the Accessory screen, but it can happen to
all screens. Assuming you have enough weight allowed to actually fill those
windows. This will occur often with all the Shards, Bloodstones, Potions, Gems.
------------------------------ Shield Bug - Confirmed --------------------------
There is a bug with Shields in the game, it requires that you have some form
of ranged weapon, and is most effective on the Ranger, since he uses his ranged
weapon more than any other class in the game. The bug is that the stats from
the Shield keep effecting you even if you have your ranged weapon out.
This does not include the armor from the shield, only the stats, such as gems.
Many people don't realize this, and I noticed it a while back.
The thing people think is happening is they get effects even from their weapons,
which, they are not. When you switch to a ranged weapon, all melee weapon
bonuses are lost, which should be true for your shield as well, but if you test
this, you'll notice you still keep effect bonuses.
A very nice bug to use with some regeneration gems, for mana and health.
This, late game, makes Shields more effective for the Ranger than Dual-Wield.
--------------------------- Soulbreak Lockup - Confirmed -----------------------
The Medal Round "Soulbreak" has a loading issue when it comes to characters who
are Dual Wielding. If you try to go into this level while Dual Wielding, the
game will then crash. The game doesn't understand how to remove two weapons.
To fix this, simply take off your weapons before hand.
----------------------- Gol Nazyn "What Shard?" - Confirmed --------------------
I've heard of a bug involving Gol Nazyn and the continuation of the story.
No one really says anything to me other than "Help, he's not talking about the
Shard!" They never really tell me if they actually have the Shard, which they
might not with the 64 Accessory Limit bug. I've only ever had one person tell me
that he couldn't progress, most people just assumed that they couldn't.
I've heard rumors that this happens to people who are running a pirated copy
or on a PS2 modded to use pirated games. The last rumor I heard is that this
was caused by a beta disk. Yeah, Beta disks from the retail version of the game.
Whatever is the case, I have no idea how to actually fix this bug.
------------------------- Nuranin has Fled - Confirmed -------------------------
Sometimes, on the Plane of War, Nuranin will disappear after performing one of
his tasks, this can normally be fixed by using a Gate Scroll, however sometimes,
this still doesn't work. If this fails, try importing your characters to a new
game, and start the whole level over. Don't worry, you're not that far anyway.
------------------------- Plane of Water Shard - Confirmed ---------------------
After an e-mail from ColCrazySwords. I was finally able to figure this out.
If you do the Plane of Water, and get to the clam that should spit out your
Plane of Water Shard, but instead gives you nothing, this is caused by a
random bomb inside of the clam that can happen to chests sometimes.
The only way to fix it is to completely start the level over and hope you
don't get a bomb again. You cannot just load an old save inside the level
because those traps are generated on the first loading of the level, so loading
a save will just load the bomb for you again.
--------------------------- Wizard Glitch - Confirmed --------------------------
The Wizard bug is another one that has been around since the game came out.
Also passed around the official forums. This Glitch does not only pertain to the
Wizard, it also happens to the Shaman and Shadow Knight.
This bug effects all of their enchant weapon skills. If you have a weapon with
a similar effect on, such as having Disease on a weapon before Disease Weapon is
cast, and Disease Weapon is the 'better' of the two, it will override the
Disease damage already on the weapon, and when the timer for the skill expires;
all Disease effects will be removed from the weapon.
If you unequip a weapon with such a skill on it, it will pause the effect.
-------------------------- Level-Up Glitch - Confirmed -------------------------
This is a bug that I encountered when I started to save my stat points.
When you level up and look at your stat points, but do not use all of them,
then tab out to your inventory and close your character screen and go back to
the game, then save and exit the game. (Though it may not need to go that far)
When you load your game again, and open your character screen, you'll soon find
that your screen is locked to the Skill Selection tab even though you never used
any Stats in the Stats Selection, you'll also find you do not have a cursor.
The only way to fix this if you let it happen, is to level up again.
Then use the new and old points as normal. This is just a reminder to not save
any Stats that you get, because, you may end up losing them.
------------------------ Corruption Online - Confirmed -------------------------
There is a chance when playing secure online characters, that randomly, your
character will become corrupted. This used to happen fairly often, but has since
been patched. Which dropped the rate of corruption considerably.
Though... it does still happen.
--------------------- Cannot Connect to Host - Confirmed -----------------------
I wouldn't really call this a bug, but a lot of people whine about it.
This can happen in a couple ways, pretty much ways that happen to any game.
1: The host is behind a firewall and it's blocking you.
2: The game listed isn't really there. One of my friends made a game,
but it didn't fully make the room. And the game was listed,
but he wasn't even in it and no one could connect to a game without a host.
3: The game already started.
4: The game is full, can't join a game that's full, right?
---------------------- Zoomed Babik's Shop - Confirmed -------------------------
Rarely when leaving Babiks shop, your camera will be zoomed up very close to
your characters face. It's a really cool bug, as you can get a good look at your
character. Changing the zoom level of the camera fixes this bug.
--------------------- Corruption Offline - Unconfirmed -------------------------
I've heard of a corruption that happens to offline characters, where they cannot
move them after loading. I have no idea if this is real or not.
This was an isolated bug that was sent in to me only once.
---------------------- Memory Card Lock - Unconfirmed --------------------------
I've also heard of a bug where the game locks up when loading settings off the
memory card. I have no idea if this is true. Because the game locks up, the data
on the memory card is lost. This might just be from a dirty disk and/or PS2.
Another isolated bug that was only sent in to me one time.
--------------------- Random Second Freeze - Confirmed -------------------------
This is not a bug, it's a problem with the PS2 not being able to keep up.
Sometimes, randomly while playing, the game will seem to lock up for a couple
seconds, then unlock and act normally. Nothing to worry about. If this is
turning into a full lock for you, try cleaning your PS2/disk.
------------------------- Black Walls - Confirmed ------------------------------
This is not a bug, it's a problem with the PS2 not being able to keep up.
While you run around, normally in the Plane of Innovation, you will see ahead
of you that the ground sometimes isn't there, but instead, black square are.
There's nothing you can do about this, it should clear itself up in a moment.
------------------- Stat Cheat Corruption - Unconfirmed ------------------------
Brought to my attention by Nyarlathotep, he said that his wifes character,
after using the Stat Cheat, of which I will not say how to do, that his wifes
character would no longer load. Let this be a warning if this was the cause,
which I think it very easily could be. So watch it...
---------------------- Most Other Bugs - Unconfirmed ---------------------------
I've heard of a lot of singled out bugs like; Bubonions in the Plane of Storms
not getting weaker after getting the Shard. Well, there's only one thing you can
do, reset the level. Another thing to always make sure is that you are not
hitting the max 64 accessory items. This is a very easy number to hit with all
the Quest Shard, Bloodstones, Potions, Gems, etc.
