Welcome to the wide world of Alon D'ar. Since there is no current FAQ
on Alon D'ar and since it has received crappy reviews that are clearly not
justified, my roommate Doug and I (Jon) have decided to take on the daunting
task of writing a walkthrough. So let's get this party started.
The game begins with a rather lengthy intro, I'm not going to bother
to describe it to you, just watch the damn thing. When you finally get control
of your character go over to the well and press x. Now go to the burning
building and press x again. Don't worry; the shield will be automatically
equipped for you. Search the town for the 5 drinking horns. 4 are located
around the very edges of the town, you may have to rotate the camera to see
them (right control stick) the last one is located within an outcropping of
rocks. You get a little PP and gold for completing this mission, but it is
well worth the effort at this point in the game. Talk to the guy at the
training grounds and the guy near the fenced in sheep, listen to them if you
want to (but you can't leave the first town until you talk to them both).
Finally head into the stronghold, go into the room with the torches on the
wall, and press x in front of both the torches that are not on fire. Run
back to the entrance of the stronghold and unlock the chest on one of the
tables. Head into the room you just opened and grab the lump hammer on the
weapons rack. Use the hammer to get a piece of crystal and unlock the chest
to the left of the crystal. You are now ready to leave Hollow Grange.
OUTSIDE HOLLOW GRANGE
-Items found
Stone Orb
-Collectibles
12 acorns
Several people will harass you as you leave hollow grange, one of them
activates the silver acorn quest and the other trades you a Short staff for
the now worthless lump hammer. You are finally free to kill things at will.
In this area, all there is to kill are skurlings. Before you get down to
it. Avoid the three first ones and talk to the guy near the bridge. You
can buy and sell weapons here. I strongly recommend you sell your katar (you
may want to sell the short staff and shield also) and any whither potions
that you can spare in order to buy the Woodcutter's axe. It may be slow and
expensive, but it is especially effective against skurlings. Now that you
have the axe, kill a few skurlings. Once you have 100 PP increase your skill
in two-handed axes by one. You should now be able to kill skurlings in one
shot. Just keep your health high and you will have not troubles here. Before
you head through the mountain pass to Pilgrim's Hatch, you should follow the
path from the bridge and into a cave. There will be three skurlings there,
kill them and search the area, you will find the Stone Orb. Be sure you have
either the Sledgehammer (bought from the guy near the bridge) or a shortstaff
in your belt as you leave - they will be especially useful when facing the
undead in the next area, although, if you're going for a mage character, you
can drop a couple points in sunder. This spell will be very helpful throughout
the next area and into the swamp (especially once it's at level 4 or 5, but
I wouldn't train the spell higher than that for now)
PILGRIM'S HATCH
-Items found
Not much
-Collectibles
The remaining 18 silver acorns
Once you exit the mountain pass you should see a green pillar on your
left. Go there. This is where you can trade gold for abilities; you can
also save from here. Be sure to use your blunt weapon (or sunder if you are
so inclined) on the Zombies you encounter. If you run across a lurker, be
sure to use a blunt weapon. There's not much in the way of items here. If
you manage to find a rusty sword after a battle be sure to take it to the
weapons dealer located just outside of pilgrim's hatch so he can take the
rust off of it (you can do this more than once BTW). You can either sell
the short sword you get from the rusty one, or equip it (it's worth 150!).
After you destroy the skurling mound (the axe seems to work just fine) the
towns people will come out and offer to get it on with you, but you are entirely
too busy for that. One of the people in the house has an acorn, so be sure
to knock on all their houses. Lord Kort will be happy that you helped him
and will give you a Lord Kort's token. Before you go to Dagan you will most
likely want to buy whatever weapons you feel are appropriate (I like the mace
since it is effective against the gretchlings to come, my roommate uses the
Stone orb). Proceed to the green portal and buy whatever skills you need.
You should now be able to teleport to Dagan from the portal, but be careful,
this is a one-way trip. So make sure you've done everything you wanted to
do, and bought all the equipment you want.
So here it is... the list to help you find all 30 SILVER ACORNS, they are
generally in the order in which they can be found. (I hope you appreciate
this bitch).

THE ROUTE TO DAGAN
-Items found
Various chests of potions and gold
Water staff (need Tahir)
Barkcleaver (need Tahir)
-Collectibles
8 Tree Frogs (one requires Tahir)
1st ancient scroll
3 Chapter 2 pages
Be sure to get the ancient scroll right near the portal. The
gretchlings hear are weak to blunt weapons and are effected by Earth Magic
and edged weapons. My roommate raves about level 4 sunder for this area.
Search the swampy areas for tree frogs and chests.
DAGAN
-Items found
Tahir
Large Ornate Axe (2-handed axe)
Various chests of potions and gold
Sets of armor (at random)
-Collectibles
2 Tree Frogs
As Soon as you walk into the town, an ugly green dude (Tahir) will growl
fiercely at you. You will proclaim, "Stop, I am NOT your enemy". The two
of you will travel together from now on. The Large Ornate Axe is located
in the hut behind the weapons dealer. At random as you walk through the swamp
you will find 5 gold. There is a random chance that you will find better
armor than you already have along with this 5 gold. I believe your chances
get better the higher your level is, but I am not sure. Anyway, if you are
walking around and don't find armor or a spike potion, don't freak out. That's
about all you need to know for now.
THE ROAD TO LA'SHON
-Items found
Water Orb
Sarojin Hammer
-Collectibles
14 Tree Frogs
8 Chapter 2 Pages
5 Pieces of Amber
As you leave Dagan for Palash you will see a sequence featuring Tahir's
dead twin, Mahir. Tahir explains you need an Amareth's heart in order to
leave the swamp. The path is relatively straightforward, just head out away
from the oracle. You will be given the water orb by the Dagani who operates
the raft. When the path changes to a wide open swampy area keep your eyes
open for an strange looking tree. Kill it to get the Amareth's heart. Once
you get the Amareth's heart you should get everything you need from Dagan
cause you won't be back there again. Head to the oracle and he'll tell you
some stuff. You can now proceed to Palash. After you leave the swamp you
will encounter groups of lurkers, they are strong against sunder, but weak
to blunt weapons. If Tahir is using a mace (which I would recommend) then
you can take them down relatively quickly. As soon as you rise out of the
swamp you will encounter a Sarojin next to a chest. The chest has a Sarojin
Hammer in it. This also is where you stop looking for Tree Frogs and start
looking for Pieces of Amber. Eventually you will run into a Sarojin that
will direct you to La'Shon. (If you don't feel like reading what he says
you can just follow him.) Welcome to La'Shon.
LA'SHON
-Items found
nothing of importance
-Collectibles
2 pieces of amber
1 chapter 2 page
After searcing the area for collectibles you should head to the shops.
The weapons and armor here are better than anything that you have seen before.
Be sure to talk to the sarojin closest to the glowing blue flame in the center
of town, he will tell you what you are supposed to be doing. After you are
satisfied, head into the wilderness.
TO THE DARKFELL TERRITORY
I'm tired now, more on this later.
Any questions can be directed to someone else be sure to put something about
Alon D'ar in the title of the email or it will get deleted with the junk mail.
