FAQ/Walkthrough \ 1. Introduction
PQUINTRO \_______________________________________________________
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords is a game that combines elements of
puzzle games and RPGs. You play as one of four different classes as you
travel through a world in an attempt to discover and defeat a great evil.
The puzzle elements of the game play a lot like the puzzle game Bejeweled.
The RPG elements mainly consist of attacking, spell casting, leveling your
character, and equipping items and weapons.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 2. The Basics of Battle
PQUBASIC \_______________________________________________________
The main parts of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords involves battling
enemies using the puzzle board on the bottom screen of the DS. Both you and
your opponent will share the puzzle board and alternate turns matching gems
on the bottom screen. This alternation of turns on the puzzle board means
that you must think differently for this game than most other puzzle games.
In most other puzzle games, you can set yourself up for higher combos and
scores. However, odds are, your opponent will be taking the turn right after
you and therefore, anything you leave on the board will be taken by your
opponent. This means that you must think differently with this puzzle game
than you must for other puzzle games.
This section of the guide will tell you the controls of the game, the basics
of the game, and some tips and strategies I personally use for this game.

Puzzle Quest \
FAQ/Walkthrough \ 2b. Battle Grid
PQUBABAT \_______________________________________________________
The Battle Grid is the main part of the game. Just about every quest
involves a battle and even then, there are also random battles on the World
Map. When you run into or are set up to fight an enemy, you will be taken to
the battle grid. The top screen has the statistics of both you and your
enemy. If you press the L or R button, that screen will go down to the
bottom screen, where you can tap on you or your enemy to see the stats and
tap on your or your opponent's equipment to see what they do. The bottom
screen contains an 8x8 puzzle grid and the list of spells for both you and
your opponent.
-------------------------
Basics of the Battle Grid
-------------------------
The battle grid contains various "Gems", which is what you need to match.
The Gems that the board can contain and what they do when you match them are
as follows:
Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow Gems: Give you Mana of the color you match.
Purple Stars: Gives you experience.
Gold Coins: Gives you gold.
Skulls: Deals damage to your opponent.
+5 Skulls (Skulls with red outlines): Deals a lot of damage to your
opponents while eliminating all gems around the +5 Skull.
Wild Cards: When matched with the colored gems, they multiply the amount of
Mana you obtain by the modifier that is on the Wild Card. Wild Cards can
be matched with any color gems and can be used to replace a gem in a
three, four, or five of a kind.
To match a gem, simply tap on the gem you want to move and then tap on an
adjacent non-diagonal gem to the gem you have tapped. Both gems will switch
places. One of the gems you move must match up with other gems to form a
three of a kind (or higher) in a horizontal or vertical row. If it does not,
you will have performed an illegal move, which will deal 5 damage to you,
move the gems back to their original spot, and cause you to lose your turn.
If the move is not an illegal move, then the gems that are matched will be
removed, the gems above the removed gems will cascade down, and new gems will
appear from the top. If the gems that are cascading down create matches,
those gems will be removed.
If you create a line of four gems that match, you will get credit for a four
of a kind. A four of a kind allows you to take another turn. If you create
a five of a kind, you will not only take another turn, but also create a Wild
Card in the center of the five of a kind.
When you match colored gems, you obtain Mana of that color. Mana is
important because you can cast spells with your Mana. The spells you can
cast are left of the Battle Grid. These spells will show you what Mana you
need in order to cast that spell. Each spell has a different effect. You
can know about these effects by tapping the Help button at the bottom of the
spell list and then tapping on the spell you want to know about. Spells can
manipulate the stats of you and your opponent, affect the Battle Grid, deal
damage, inflict status effects on your opponent, and more.
------------------
Statistical Skills
------------------
There are seven statistical categories for you and your opponents. These
statistical categories affect everything in battle. When you level up, you
get four skill points to raise a statistical category. Stats can go as high
as 255 (it resets to 0 if you go higher). Generally speaking, you want to
focus on one or two statistical category rather than spreading your points
out evenly throughout all of them. In general, you want to level up Earth
and Air Masteries for Druids, Battle and Morale for Knights, and Fire Mastery
for both Warriors and Wizards. Here is what each statistical category does:
Earth Mastery: Increases the amount of Mana you gain for matching Green
Gems, increases the chance of taking an extra turn for matching Green
Mana, and increases the chance of creating a Wild Card for matching Green
Mana.
Fire Mastery: Increases the amount of Mana you gain for matching Red Gems,
increases the chance of taking an extra turn for matching Red Mana, and
increases the chance of creating a Wild Card for matching Red Mana.
Air Mastery: Increases the amount of Mana you gain for matching Yellow Gems,
increases the chance of taking an extra turn for matching Yellow Mana, and
increases the chance of creating a Wild Card for matching Yellow Mana.
Water Mastery: Increases the amount of Mana you gain for matching Blue Gems,
increases the chance of taking an extra turn for matching Blue Mana, and
increases the chance of creating a Wild Card for matching Blue Mana.
Battle: Increases the amount of damage you deal when matching Skulls,
increases the chance of taking an extra turn for matching Skulls, and
increases the chance of creating a Wild Card for matching Skulls.
Cunning: Increases the effect that Wild Cards have on other gems, increases
the amount of money you gain for matching Gold Coins, increases the chance
of taking an extra turn for matching Gold Coins, and increases the chance
of creating a Wild Card for matching Gold Coins. Also, at the start of
battle, the person with the highest Cunning goes first.
Morale: Increases your Life Points, increases the chance of taking an extra
turn for matching Purple Stars, increases the chance of creating a Wild
Card for matching Purple Stars, and increases your spell resistances.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 2c. General Tips
PQUBAGEN \_______________________________________________________
----------
Randomness
----------
The first thing you should know about this game is that this game hates you.
I don't mean that the game is designed to go against you. I mean the game
hates you. The designers of this game created the first artificial
intelligence system designed to mimic the actual emotion of hate. When you
are sleeping, the game is plotting your downfall with all of your other
electronics. In all seriousness, you will constantly find yourself getting
frustrated with the random nature of the game. Many times, you will find
yourself crying foul and cheating when the game drops a +5 Skull in perfect
position for your opponent. Granted, the randomness will also help you every
once in a while, but you will swear that the game cheats for your enemy more
than it does for you. There really isn't much you can do about this aspect
of the game. After all, this is how randomness works.
------
Spells
------
Regular attacks are fine and dandy, but you will find yourself relying on
your spells do deal the bulk of the damage. Typically, you do not want to
leave damage on the board for your opponent to deal to you. However, if you
need one more Mana to unleash a massive Deathbringer or to set up one of your
loops, it might be better to match up Mana to deal more damage in the future.
-----------
Extra Turns
-----------
Normally, the first thing you want to look for is any four and five of a
kinds. This way, you can cause more of a chance to set up a cascade.
Granted, there are exceptions to the rule, such as needing a certain type of
Mana to set up your spells or needing just one more damage to finish off your
opponent, but generally speaking, you can't go wrong with taking an extra
turn.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 2d. Map and Information Database Links
PQUBAMAP \_______________________________________________________
Zaraf and eishin from the GameFAQs Message Boards have created a really
helpful and easy to use map of the game. It is very detailed and looks
really good. I highly suggest using this map while you are playing the game,
as it is not only a map, but has lots of good information on it. The link to
the map is this:
http://www.infinite-interactive.com/puzzlequest/map/
Also, Zaraf has also provided me with another link, this time to a very easy
to use database that has information on spells, resistances, items, and much
more. This database is on fluxcapacitor66 website, which is as follows:
http://www.onewhowaits.com/puzzlequest/runes.html
Finally, there is a very good FAQ on Runes and very easy to use Monster
Capture maps made by Zaraf on the GameFAQs FAQs & Guides section. These are
both excellent and very easy to use.
Again, a big thank you to Zaraf, eishin, and fluxcapacitor66 for providing
this information for the general public.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 3. Classes
PQUCLASS \_______________________________________________________
There are four classes in Puzzle Quest, each with their own special set of
spells and skills. Also, each class levels up statistics differently.
Generally speaking, Druids focus on messing with the board and your opponent,
Knights focus on manipulating Purple Stars, and both the Warrior and the
Wizard specialize in dealing direct damage.
Note: I have only played the Warrior and the Wizard. I have not played the
Druid or the Knight yet, although I do plan on playing the Knight my next
playthrough. I can really only offer insight on how to play the Warrior
and the Wizard, although both are pretty straight forward to begin with.
I accidentally deleted my Wizard before listing all of their spells, so I
will have to eventually play through them again...eventually...

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 4. Story Mode Walkthrough
PQSTORY \_______________________________________________________
Story Mode is the main part of the game. It is where you take one of your
characters and level him or her up while making your way through the world.
During your journeys, you will have to complete many, many quests. In fact,
the game is entirely quest driven, which means there will not be very many
times that you will not be on a quest.
There are two types of quests in this game. There are Story Quests and Side
Quests. The Story Mode Walkthrough only goes through the Story Quests. The
Side Quests are described in later sections.
Also, this section is divided into four chapters. While the chapters are not
really defined in the game, there are times when you will complete a Story
Quest and you will receive a cut scene describing the game. I have used
these to separate the chapters.

PQUSTCH1 \_______________________________________________________
After choosing your hero and profession and going through the tutorial, you
start off in Bartonia. You cannot go anywhere for now, so visit the Tavern
for some rumors and then get your first quest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Family Reunion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: Your father has requested your presence in Siria. You must travel
there and meet him.
Places Unlocked: Elenia, Gildor, Siria, and Theira
Completion:
Your father, Sir Albion, apparently needs you. Since the Queen respects
your father, she grants your leave of absence. You simply need to go to
Siria and speak with your father. Even though a couple of places open up,
you cannot do anything anywhere, so just head straight for Siria. When you
speak with your father, he will provide you with a Broken Shield that was a
gift from your dead grandfather.
Reward: Broken Shield Accessory, +1 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Family Reunion Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you obtain your shield, head back to Bartonia. There, waiting for you,
is your next quest. This quest will teach you the basics of battle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Practice Dummy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must learn some basic combat against a Practice Dummy.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
After speaking with the Queen about your grandfather, it's time to learn how
to fight. Your first opponent will be a Practice Dummy. The Practice Dummy
will never take a turn and thus, will never fight back, so if you manage to
lose this battle, I highly suggest you return your game and pick out a
different one. Once you have completed this battle, your quest is complete.
Reward: +1 Experience
Special Quest Notes: Can be repeated until The Missive Quest is completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Practice Dummy Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you have trained in the basics of battle, it's time to fight someone
that will actually fight back. After all, you can't expect every enemy to be
equipped with a Practice Shield.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Young Knight.
Places Unlocked: None

After beating up on the helpless Practice Dummy, the Queen will inform you
of reports about the Undead. To prepare you for the coming battles, you are
told to work hard and master combat. Your opponent will be a Young Knight.
Since this is the first battle, the AI is a little forgiving. Not extremely
forgiving, but just a little bit. Again, once you have completed this
battle, your quest is complete.

Special Quest Notes: Can be repeated until The Missive Quest is completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Advanced Combat Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you have learned how to fight, it's time to do something other than
train.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Missive
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: A sealed message must be delivered to Sir Albion in Siria. This is
an important message, and you may be in danger as you travel there.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
The Queen needs you to deliver a message to you father. Of course, the
Queen is worried that the message will be intercepted, so she decides to
send it out with someone unexpected. You must take the message out to
Siria. Of course, as soon as you get there, you get jumped by a Thief. So
much for unexpected. The Thief will probably steal some of your gold, but
it shouldn't be that much. Watch out for his Sneak Attack because it does
damage and allows him to still take his turn. When the thief is defeated,
you can then deliver the message to your father. He will tell you some of
what has been going on. Apparently, some guy name Bane has a cult that has
been causing trouble. Anyways, you get a Longsword from your father, which
is a decent weapon for now.
Reward: +20 Experience, Longsword
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Missive Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you return back to Bartonia, you will see that you are now able to
perform Side Quests. Side Quests are quests that do not pertain to the main
storyline, but should be completed so that you can gain experience, gold,
items, and companions. While Side Quests are not required, they can help add
flavor to the main storyline and depth to the world that has been created.
All the Side Quests are listed in "Side Quests" section. You should probably
go through all of the Side Quests you can for now, although the Bats in the
Belfry quest can be tough at lower levels, since the enemy you would be
facing can steal your health to heal himself. Either way, once you have
completed all the Side Quests you want, it is time to move on to the next
Story Quest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Rogue Skeleton
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: A Skeleton has been terrorizing the peasants near the Royal Crypt in
western Theira. Nobody is sure where it came from, though whispers say
that a cult of necromancers are to blame. You must find the Skeleton and
lay it to rest.
Places Unlocked: Royal Crypt (disappears eventually)
Completion:
Apparently, the Undead have been appearing at more regular intervals now.
Since you are a trained warrior and the kingdom is using most of its forces
to tame the Orcs from the east, it's time for you to go out and help. Your
task is simply to put a Skeleton to rest near the Royal Crypt. The Royal
Crypt is west of Theira, so head over there and face off with the Skeleton.
This Skeleton has a Ring of Earth on him...err...it... Anyways, this battle
shouldn't be too hard. Just try to avoid getting hit by the +5 Skulls
whenever it uses the Wake the Dead skill. After you defeat the Skeleton,
you learn nothing of its origin and no clues about the so-called cult.
Reward: +25 Gold, +20 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Rogue Skeleton Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head back to Bartonia for your next assignment. The Queen has a really good
one lined up for you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Darkhunter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: Undead are beginning to appear all over Agaria. You must travel
south over the mountains in search of a warrior named Darkhunter - a
specialist in combat against the Undead.
Places Unlocked: Agarian Pass, Gallia, Ruins of Artum
Completion:
The Queen will ask you to go get assistance from an Undead specialist. The
man is named Syrus Darkhunter. He currently resides in the city of Gallia.
Make your way south to Gallia and search for Darkhunter. When you first
search for Darkhunter, a guardsman will tell you that he was tracking
creatures in the Ruins of Artum, which is south of Gallia. When you reach
the Ruins, you will see Darkhunter is surrounded by Orcs and needs some
help. Time to go and rescue him. This Orc carries a Great Axe and is
stronger than most Orcs. Because it has the Great Axe, if he deals damage
to you, odds are, he will probably take another turn. Normally, you don't
want to leave damage on the board if at all possible, unless you really need
the Mana more. However, against an opponent using a Great Axe, it's even
more important to not leave damage on the board. When the Orc is defeated
and Darkhunter is rescued, he will question your motives. When he is told
that his help is required in regards to the Undead, he will agree to assist,
but he needs to deal with some issues first. He arranges a meeting with you
in Gallia, which completes your quest.
Reward: +25 Gold, +40 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Darkhunter Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make your way back north to Gallia and get your next quest, which will be
from Darkhunter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Helping Hand
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: Darkhunter is heading out to the Skell Marshes to track down an evil
Sorcerer. He requires some help to hold the Sorcerer's minions at bay.
Places Unlocked: Drakenburg, Skellheim, Skell Marshes
Completion:
You end up meeting Darkhunter outside of the city. Apparently, Darkhunter
needs to hunt down an evil sorcerer before he can join you. He needs your
help to keep the sorcerer's pet Zombie in check while he takes down the
sorcerer. The sorcerer is located in the Skell Marshes, so make your way
over there and then begin you fight with the Zombie. This Zombie is a Giant
Zombie and has more Life Points and Battle. Also, whenever it deals damage
to you, there is a chance it will leave behind the Disease status effect,
which will drain your Mana, so keep an eye on your Mana reserves. When the
Zombie is dead, Darkhunter will have taken the sorcerer prisoner.
Unfortunately for you, he Managed to use semantics to get you to do
something else for him. For now, this quest is complete.
Reward: +50 Gold, +50 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Helping Hand Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make your way back to Gallia. It's time to help Darkhunter deal with the
Sorcerer now and bring him to justice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Prisoner
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must escort a captive Sorcerer to the Red Tower - the home
citadel of the Riverguard, located in Maethelburg.
Places Unlocked: Maethelburg
Completion:
Darkhunter will persuade you to go take the Sorcerer to the Red Tower in
Maethelburg. Since you do need Darkhunter's help and he refuses to help you
until you have done this task, you might as well just do it. Apparently,
he's not allowed in Maethelburg for some reason, so make your way over to
Maethelburg alone with the Sorcerer. There will probably be a Giant Rat
blocking your path to Maethelburg, but it's just a normal Giant Rat and
shouldn't pose too much of a problem. When you reach Maethelburg, you will
get a description of the place. Then, you will get a cut scene of the
Sorcerer trying to intimidate you. Apparently, the Sorcerer's name is
Morag, but no one really cares. When you try to take the Sorcerer to the
Riverguard, the Sorcerer will make you an offer. He wants you to let him go
in Skellheim in exchange for an ancient sword and information about the
Undead. It is up to you which way you want to go.
If you have delivered the prisoner to the Riverguard, you will speak to the
head of the Riverguard, Lord Greythane. However, he's really not very kind.
He gives you some information on the cult that these Sorcerers are in, but
quickly thanks you and asks you to leave in a hurry. Make your way back to
Gallia and talk to Darkhunter, who will now join you as a Companion.
Reward: +50 Experience, Companion Darkhunter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Prisoner Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you have your first companion, it's time to head back north to
Bartonia. Here, you will get a new series of quests involving Orcs this
time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Rescue Mission
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: A band of Orcs recently traveled over the Hammer Pass, took some
prisoners and headed back to Kor. You must try to catch them and rescue
the prisoners.
Places Unlocked: Hammer Pass
Completion:
Orcs have been traveling over the Hammer Pass and kidnapping humans. Your
Queen, worried about this new trend in Orcs, is asking you to rescue the
humans that were kidnapped by the Orcs. If you have Darkhunter in your
party, when you reach the Hammer Pass, he will express his displeasure in
fighting Orcs. After all, he is an Undead specialist. When you reach the
Orcish caravan and attempt to rescue the prisoners, you will run into the
Orcish Chieftain. He will be equipped with the weapon Great Mang, which has
a 25% chance to reduce your Red Mana to 0. If you are a Warrior or a
Wizard, then this could be a tough fight without Red Mana. When you defeat
the Chieftain, the prisoners will be rescued and you will have completed
your mission.
Reward: +250 Gold, +50 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Rescue Mission Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you have freed the prisoners, head back to Bartonia. The Queen will
inform you of a new problem that has appeared.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: None Shall Pass
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: A strange Undead creature - a Liche - is blocking access to the
forest of Silvermyr. The Wood Elves need help fighting it.
Places Unlocked: Alfland, Silvermyr
Completion:
The Wood Elves in Silvermyr have asked for your help in getting rid of a
Liche that has been hanging around their kingdom. The Queen believes that
everyone should help everyone in times of need, so therefore, you will need
to assist the Wood Elves in getting rid of the creature. Silvermyr is
northwest of Theira. When you reach Alfland, which is just before
Silvermyr, and you have Darkhunter as one of your Companions, he will give
you a Lichebane Charm, which does extra damage to Liches. You should equip
the charm before you fight the Liche. The Liche can be found in between
Alfland and Silvermyr. Make your way over to the Liche and fight it. This
battle should not be too hard to fight the Liche if you have both Darkhunter
and the Lichebane Charm. When the Liche is defeated, make your way over to
Queen Titania and speak with her about the Undead and Orcs problem. Also,
you will give her the Lichebane Charm.
Reward: +350 Gold, +50 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: None Shall Pass Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the Wood Elves are free from the Liche, make your way back to Bartonia.
Your Queen has another assignment for you. This time, it involves helping
out the Dwarves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Dwarven Caravan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: A Dwarf by the name of Khalkus has requested your aid in getting a
caravan of supplies safely through Agaria.
Places Unlocked: Dhun-Kor
Completion:
Just like helping out the Wood Elves, the Queen believes that helping the
Dwarves will be good for future relations. A Dwarf named Khalkus needs your
help in getting his caravan to Theira. You will need to find Khalkus at the
Hammer Pass. Make your way over to the Hammer Pass and meet up with
Khalkus. Khalkus talks a whole lot, so shut him and continue to move on.
Make your way over to Theira with the caravan. You will need to protect the
caravan at Theira from a Wight. Wights have Wightblades, which can drain
your Red Mana and then put it into his Blue Mana. When he has a lot of Blue
Mana, he will use his Spectral Force, which stun you for multiple turns.
When the Wight is defeated, you and Khalkus will have a conversation about
the caravan going all the way to Dhun-Kor. Khalkus will also talk about
Dugog, which is a two headed Ogre. He will talk about avoiding Dugog, but
instead, you will insist on defeating him. Apparently, you're bravery is
greater than your intelligence. Oh well. Eventually the two headed beast
will have to fall... Either way, you gain a new companion in Khalkus.
Make your way towards Khalkus, but you will end up getting jumped at the
Hammer Pass. An Ogre wearing Chainmail armor will attack you. This Ogre is
mainly just a trial for the main event. When you reach Dhun-Kor, you will
have to face off with Dugog, who will prevent you from entering the city.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Boss Battle: Dugog |
| |
| Info: Dugog has the skills of a regular Ogre and his Extra Head gives |
| him another turn when he collects Gold. His dangerous club randomly |
| does huge amounts of damage. |
| |
| Dugog, the two-headed Ogre, is the leader of the forces that have |
| been attacking Agaria. Beware the second head! |
| |
| Equipment: |
| Helmet and Crowns: Extra Head |
| Gives an extra turn whenever you receive Gold |
| Armor: Full Plate Armor |
| Gives a 100% chance to protect against 1 point of damage whenever |
| you receive 2 or more damage |
| Weapon: Dugog's Club |
| Gives a 20% chance to add +12 points of damage whenever you do |
| damage |
| Miscellaneous: Troll Ring |
| Adds +1 to Life Points if Blue Mana is at 6+ at the start of each |
| of your turns |
| |
| Skills: |
| Double Roar |
| Turns all Yellow and Red Gems into Skulls. After Gems are |
| transformed, the turn ends |
| Thump! |
| Does 10 points of damage to the enemy. Unaffected by Battle |
| Battle Cry |
| Randomly creates a +5 Skull. Your turn does not end if Red Mana |
| 15+ |
| Stomp! |
| Destroys all Green Gem, and your enemy loses 1 turn. You gain |
| full effects for all gems destroyed |
| |
| Tips: |
| This boss will probably be the hardest in the game simply because you |
| probably don't have any overpowered spells in your arsenal when you |
| face him. Combine that with all of his equipment and the fact that |
| he takes an automatic extra turn whenever he collects Gold and you |
| have a very tough boss to take down. More than ever you need to try |
| to make sure that you don't leave damage on the board, otherwise |
| you could end up taking more than you would expect because of his |
| club. In the end, you may need luck to win this battle. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When Dugog is defeated and killed, the caravan is safely at Dhun-Kor and you
get Dugog's club and a nice reward.
Reward: Dugog's Club, +1000 Gold
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Dwarven Caravan Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Dugog is defeated, you will need to inform your queen of the death of
the Ogre Dugog.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Good Tidings
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must deliver news of Dugog's demise to Queen Gwendholyn in
Bartonia.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
You'll witness a conversation between yourself and Khalkus about someone
pulling the strings behind the whole situation of blockade of Dhun-Kor.
Either way, you will need to consult with your queen first. Make your way
over to Bartonia and deliver the news to your queen. When you inform your
queen of everything that has been going on, she will send you over to Dhun-
Kor to further investigate the matter. When you receive your new orders,
your quest is complete.
Reward: +400 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Good Tidings Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After this quest is completed, Chapter 1 of the Story Mode is complete.

With the death of Dugog, the invasion of Orcs and Undead into your country
have become less frequent. Still, you will need to find out the source of
these invasions. The first place to start off at is Dhun-Kor. Make your way
over to the Dwarven city and begin your investigation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Tribal Chaos
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: With the death of Dugog, the Orc tribes have been thrown into chaos.
You must travel to 4 Orc villages and defeat their leaders to quiet them
down.
Places Unlocked: Blood Moon, Bone Head, Snake Fang, White Skull
Completion:
You will meet up with the leader of the Merchant Guild. Apparently, female
dwarves can grow lots of facial hair. Either way, you will need to stop
some Orcs from going out of control. To complete this, you will have to go
to four Orc villages and battle the Orc Lord of each village. Orc Lords
have Enrage like normal Orcs, but also have the Headbutt skill that can stun
you and the skill Call the Horde, which can increase Mana and Life Points.
They also hold a Great Mang, which has a chance to reduce your Red Mana to
zero. When you have defeated the first Orc Lord and reach your second
destination, Darkhunter and Khalkus will have a conversation with each other
about Orcs and how Darkhunter doesn't want to fight them if you have the
both of them in your party. Battle the Orc Lords at Blood Moon, Bone Head,
and White Skull. When they are all defeated, make your way to Snake Fang
and face off with the last Orc Lord. Since this is your fourth Orc Lord, if
you have a Dungeon, you can capture this Orc Lord. When the Orc Lord is
defeated, make your way back to Dhun-Kor and report your successes. When
your mission is completed, you will receive your reward, along with a nice
axe.
Reward: +450 Gold, Dwarven Axe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Tribal Chaos Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the tribes subdued for now, you will have to speak to the Lord of all
the Orcs to gather information about what has been going on in regards to the
human slaves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Lord of Orcs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must travel deep into Kor to meet with Gruulkar, the Great Orc,
Lord of Kor. You must then convince Gruulkar to tell you why the Orcs
are taking prisoners.
Places Unlocked: Gruuldok, Wargstone (disappears eventually)
Completion:
Now that the tribes are calmed, you must make your way further into Orc
territory to meet with the Orc leader, Gruulkar, to interrogate him about
the prisoners being captured and taken. Gruulkar can be found in Gruuldok,
which is south of Snake Fang. There should be a Wolfrider in your way to
there. Wolfriders are just Orcs riding Wolves, which gives them the skills
of both, along with keeping the speed of Wolves and the power of Orcs. When
this Wolfrider is defeated and you reach Gruuldok, make your way over to
Gruulkar and talk to him. You will need to bring Gruulkar a Warg's pelt in
order to speak with him more. To find a Warg, you will have to go to the
Wargstone, which is west of Gruuldok. A Warg is just a nastier version of a
Wolf. Wargs are larger and faster than Wolves and have the Rend and Haste
skills along with the regular Wolf skills. When you defeat the Warg, take
it's pelt back to Gruulkar. He will agree to talk to you for a little
while. He will tell you that he is not taking slaves, but some of the Orcs
are following a new leader that is to the north and they are the ones taking
the slaves. With this new information, your quest is complete.
Reward: +80 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Lord of Orcs Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, now that you know what is going on and the Orcs are subdued, you will
now need to deal with the Ogres and subdue them as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ogre Tactics
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: The Ogres in the south are getting restless. Somebody needs to
travel down there and sort them out.
Places Unlocked: Gork
Completion:
Apparently Gruulkar is trying to stir up trouble using the Ogres as his army
to attack Dhun-Kor with. The Ogres will give you problems if you continue
investigating the slave issue without dealing with them, so you should get
rid of the Ogre problem first. Head south to Gork, which is south of
Gruuldok, and battle an Ogre. This Ogre is just a regular Ogre and should
be easy to defeat by now. When this Ogre is defeated, the other Ogres still
refuse to listen to you, so you will have to face off with another Ogre.
This Ogre is wearing a Horned Helm and some Chain Armor to protect him, so
it will probably take longer to defeat him. Still, this Ogre should not
present too much of a problem, as you probably have already battled many
Ogres. When this Ogre is defeated, the Ogres will decide that maybe you
aren't someone to be messing with and will calm down. Make your way back
north to Dhun-Kor and return to Khrona to receive your reward.
Reward: +400 Gold, +90 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ogre Tactics Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that there is a definite link between Gruulkar and the Ogres, it's time
to fully deal with the Ogre and Orc problem in order to find the link between
them and the slavers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ogre Magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must stop any further threat from the Ogres by defeating their
leader.
Places Unlocked: Gluk
Completion:
Past Gork is the city of Gluk, which holds the leader of the Ogres. The
leader happens to be an Ogre Mage. Apparently, defeating the Ogre Mage will
cause the rest of the Ogres to fall into chaos and be leaderless, so your
next goal will be to defeat the Ogre Mage. Make your way over to Gluk and
confront the Ogre Mage. The Ogre Mage can randomly create Wildcards and
create +5 Skulls. Also, this Ogre Mage has the Rain of Fire spell, which
gets rid of the Red Gems and deals direct damage to you. When you manage to
defeat the Ogre Mage, the Ogres will fall into disarray without their
leader, so head back to Dhun-Kor and speak to Khrona again to complete your
mission.
Reward: +200 Gold, +90 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ogre Magic Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though Gruulkar doesn't have the Ogres to do his dirty work for him
anymore, he still wants to go to war and fight. However, that would not be
good for your investigation into the whole slave deal, so you will need to
stop the war from ever starting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: War Council
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must try to stop Gruulkar from gathering the hordes and going to
war in Northern Kor.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Khrona will inform you that Gruulkar is gathering the Orcish hordes in order
to prepare for war with the other races in Dhun-Kor. Since the death of
Dugog, northern Kor has become unstable and Gruulkar is trying to take this
opportunity to seize control of the entire area. This would be a detriment
to what you are trying to accomplish, so you will need to stop the war from
happening. You will need to talk to Gruulkar into stopping this war. If
talking doesn't work (which it probably won't), even more drastic measures
will probably be needed. Make your way over to Gruuldok and speak with
Gruulkar. Gruulkar, of course, doesn't want peace and refuses to listen to
you and sends you out. When you attempt to talk to him again, he will send
out an Orc Champion to attack you. The Orc Champion is very heavily armored
with a Horned Helm, Chainmail Armor, and Leather Boots. Furthermore, he
knows the Headbutt skill, which stuns you. This won't be an easy fight, but
when you manage to defeat the Champion, Gruulkar still will not listen to
you. Well, apparently you will have to head south to Gluk, because that is
where the swirling stars are. When you reach Gluk, you will get a message
stating that maybe the Ogres will know how to stop Gruulkar. Well, if they
do know this information, they will not give this information without a
fight. You will need to defeat an Ogre Mage in order for you to get any
information from them. The Ogre Mage is a regular Ogre Mage, which means
you will have random +5 Skulls appearing randomly on the board whenever you
deal damage to the Ogre Mage. When you have defeated the Ogre Mage, the
Ogre will tell you how to stop Gruulkar: become Gruulkar. That means you
must defeat Gruulkar in battle and then take his place as the leaders of the
Orcs. Armed with this information, head on back to Dhun-Kor and talk to
Khrona. Now is the time to prepare for war with the Orcs.
Reward: +50 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: War Council Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Orcs will begin their preparations for war with Dhun-Kor. Of course, you
will need to prepare for war too. This means that you will need to perform
some sabotage in order to gain the upper hand in battle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Gobshooter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: Gruulkar is building a new weapon. You must find it and destroy it.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
In the village of Snake Fang, Gruulkar is building a new weapon. It’s a
catapult, but it's much more than that. It's a siege weapon that can hurl
Goblins a great distance. Of course, this would not be a good thing. No
one wants Goblins raining down on them, so make your way over to Snake Fang
and destroy the weapon. The Gobshooter can use the Besiege skill like a
normal catapult, which destroys a 3 by 3 grid on the board at random, but it
can also use the Hurl Goblin skill, which destroys a random gem and
multiplies it's effect times 20. This is bad if it somehow manages to hit a
+5 Skull, so be careful during the battle. Other than that and the magical
ability for Besiege to almost always hit a +5 Skull on the board, this
battle shouldn't be too hard. When you have completed this mission, make
your way back to Dhun-Kor and collect your reward.
Reward: +300 Gold, +50 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Gobshooter Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the Gobshooter out of order, it's time to face off with Gruulkar one on
one and put an end to this war.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Gruulkar
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must travel south and defeat Gruulkar himself.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Gruulkar is dead set on going to war and almost nothing is going to stop
him. Almost nothing. You will need to defeat Gruulkar one on one in battle
in order to stop the war from happening. Gruulkar has begun to advance his
armies towards Dhun-Kor. You won't be able to attack him straight on, but
you will be able to ambush him from a Scorpion Hole. There are quite a few
at Snake Fang, so make your way over there and hide in a Scorpion Hole.
Unfortunately for you, there is a Scorpion is inside the hole. Scorpions
can poison you, so be careful of that.
When the Scorpion is defeated, you will be able to hide in the hole and wait
for Gruulkar to wander past the hole and ambush him. Ambush Gruulkar and
challenge him to a battle.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Boss Battle: Gruulkar |
| |
| Info: Gruulkar is an especially tough Orc, and has a shield that |
| increases his Battle skill every time he is hit. His Great Axe gives |
| him extra turns when doing damage. |
| |
| Gruulkar is the leader of the Orcs of Kor. |
| |
| Equipment: |
| Helmet and Crowns: Horned Helm |
| Adds +3 to Red Mana whenever your enemy casts a spell |
| Armor: Full Plate Armor |
| Gives a 100% chance to protect against 1 point of damage whenever |
| you receive 2 or more damage |
| Weapon: Great Axe |
| Gives a 50% chance of an extra turn whenever you do 5 or more |
| damage |
| Miscellaneous: Gruulkar's Shield |
| Adds +1 to your Battle skill whenever you receive 2 or more damage |
| |
| Skills: |
| Call the Horde |
| Destroys all Green and Red Gems. Adds +1 to Red Mana, Green Mana, |
| and Life Points for every gem destroyed |
| Headbutt |
| Destroys all Red Gems and your enemy loses 1 turn plus an |
| additional turn for every 8 Red Gems destroyed |
| Enrage |
| Adds your Red Mana total to your Battle skill for 8 turns. You |
| turn does not end after casting this spell |
| Throw Axe |
| Does 4 points of damage to enemy plus an additional +1 for every |
| Skull in play |
| |
| Tips: |
| Every time you deal damage to Gruulkar, his Battle skill will |
| increase, which means he will deal more damage to you the more you |
| deal damage to him. Also, casting a spell will give him Red Mana, |
| which is important to all of his skills and spells and when he deals |
| damage to you, odds are, he will get another turn because of his |
| Great Axe. His most annoying skill is his Headbutt skill, which |
| makes you lose turns. Also, Throw Axe will deal direct damage to |
| you. Gruulkar isn't as hard as Dugog was, so you should be able to |
| deal with Gruulkar without too many problems. Just keep attacking |
| Gruulkar with your most powerful attack spells or skill and you |
| shouldn't give him much of a chance to fight back, even if his Battle |
| Skill gets upped every time you attack him. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When Gruulkar is defeated, you will need two things from him in exchange for
his life. The first thing is a full withdrawal of the Orcish hordes. The
second is more information in regards to the slavers. Apparently, a giant
Minotaur called the Mechataur is commanding them from a place called
Hornburg. The Mechataur is not an armored Minotaur, but a mechanical one.
When Gruulkar gives you this information, you tell him to get lost, but not
before taking his shield.
Reward: Gruulkar's Shield, +250 Experience

Story Quest: Gruulkar Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that Dhun-Kor is safe from the Orcish Horde, there are a couple more
loose ends that need to be tied up before we can leave Dhun-Kor for good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Dragontrap
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must dispose of a Dragon that has been caught in a Dragontrap
north of Dhun-Kor.
Places Unlocked: Dragonrealm
Completion:
You will speak with Khrona about moving on north to investigate the
Mechataur at Hornburg. Apparently, Hornburg is the mountains bordering a
place called the Realms of War, which doesn't sound like a very happy place.
Either way, finding your way into the area will be difficult. Khrona will
ask one more favor of you. Apparently, they have a Dragon that they need to
dispose of. The Dragon can be found in Northern Kor. Make your way to
there and you will see the Dragon caught in the Dragontrap developed by the
Dwarves. When you approach the Dragon, the Dragon will beg for his life.
The Dragon doesn't seem to be evil or harming the Dwarves, but simply
looking around for the other Dragons that have disappeared. The Dragon
agrees to help you if you help him. The Dragon, named Flicker, will
accompany you into the Dragonrealm, which is northeast of the Dragon Valley.
When you reach the Dragonrealm, search for Dragons. You won't find a
Dragon, but you will get jumped by a Dragon Spider. Dragon Spiders have the
Web ability, which can stun you for a few turns and has the Breath Fire
ability, which can deal direct damage to you. They can also poison you,
which can be annoying. While not as tough as a real Dragon, Dragon Spiders
can be a pain. When the Dragon Spider is defeated, you will have another
conversation with Flicker, which reveals nothing other than the fact that
Flicker has the whole sarcasm thing down pat.
Reward: +150 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Dragontrap Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you are in the Dragonrealm, you should be able to search for a
couple of Dragons to find out some clues about their whereabouts. Either
way, your next mission will be to wake the elder Dragon, Kelthurax, which
doesn't sound like fun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Waking Kelthurax
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must attempt to wake Kelthurax who slumbers beneath the
Dragonrealm. He is the oldest Dragon in Etheria.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Flicker says that you will need to wake up Kelthurax. Apparently, Kelthurax
has a bad reputation, so you will need to proceed with caution. Kelthurax's
lair is at Dragonrealm, so you will have to make some noise at this area to
get Kelthurax to wake up. Unfortunately, after making noise twice, you only
seem to have attracted the attention of a Wyvern. This Wyvern has a higher
Battle and Air Mastery, which means it is stronger than most Wyverns.
Still, you will have to worry about the Poison it can inflict and the Rend
skill, which deals direct damage along with allowing the Wyvern to take it's
turn. By now, you should be used to fighting Wyverns, so just deal with it
normally. When the Wyvern is defeated, Kelthurax wakes up, but not in a
good mood. He yells at you and Flicker for disturbing his sleep and proceed
to inform you that he doesn't care what happened to the other Dragons.
Reward: +250 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Walking Kelthurax Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that Kelthurax doesn't want to deal with you (which is a good thing,
since him dealing with you probably involves eating you) and there are a
couple of clues to where the Dragons are at, you will need to continue your
investigation of the being known as the Mechataur.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Mechataur
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must travel to the Hornburg to confront the Mechataur.
Hopefully, you will discover who or what is behind the attacks on your
homeland.
Places Unlocked: Hornburg, Horned Temple (after the completion of the
quest), Valley of Kings
Completion:
Since you have done everything Flicker has asked from you, it's time for
Flicker to hold up his end of the bargain and assist you with getting the
Hornburg and deal with the being known as the Mechataur. Flicker will show
you the path, but the path is guarded by a Liche. Liches can create +5
Skulls on the board whenever you deal a lot of damage to them, which can
either be a good thing or a bad thing. Also, the Liche has the spell known
as Death Gaze, which creates Skulls on the board.
When the Liche is defeated, continue on to Hornburg. Here is where the
Mechataur is. Attack the monstrosity known as the Mechataur.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Boss Battle: Mechataur |
| |
| Info: The Mechataur can Energize, healing large amounts of damage, and |
| can also use its Mechanical Axe to get extra turns when dealing |
| damage. |
| |
| Equipment: |
| Helmet and Crowns: Elemental Gem |
| Adds +2 to all of your Mana Reserves for each of Mana Reserves |
| that are full at the start of each of your turns |
| Armor: Iron Skin |
| Adds +1 to Green Mana when you are damaged and protects against 1 |
| point of damage when you receive 2 or more damage |
| Weapon: Mechanical Axe |
| Gives an extra turn whenever you do 5 or more damage |
| Miscellaneous: None |
| |
| Skills: |
| Charge! |
| Destroys a selected row of gems and does 5 points of damage. You |
| gain the effects of every gem destroyed |
| Energize |
| Adds +25 to your Life Points. Reduces your Mana Reserves to zero |
| |
| Tips: |
| The biggest pain in dealing with the Mechataur is his Energize skill |
| and his Mechanical Axe. His Energize skill will restore 25 points of |
| his Life Points at the expense of his Mana Reserves. However, since |
| he has the Elemental Gem and his Iron Skin gives him lots of Green |
| Mana, his Mana Reserves are normally either full or close to full. |
| His Mechanical Axe will allow him to take an extra turn whenever he |
| deal damage to you, which is also a bad thing. However, this battle |
| should not be as hard as Dugog was, since you should, by this time, |
| have a high level spell or skill that should do in the Mechataur. |
| Just avoid leaving damage on the board and the Mechataur should be |
| placed out of commission in no time. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When the Mechataur is broken, you will interrogate the giant monstrosity.
Unfortunately, talking to the Mechataur is like talking to a...machine...
which means you won't get much out of it. Either way, the Mechataur is out
of commission and now it's time to move on to the Realms of War. At least
you get his Gem in the process.
Reward: +500 Experience, Elemental Gem
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Mechataur Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the defeat of the Mechataur, Chapter 2 is completed.

With the defeat of the Mechataur, there is still many questions left
unanswered. What are the connections between the human slaves, the Orcish
invasion, and the mission Dragons? The Realms of War, controlled by the
Minotaurs, may just have the answers. For now, make your way to the area
known as the Horned Temple and be prepared to deal with Minotaurs...and lots
of them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Slave Trail
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You have followed the trail of the Orcish Slavers to a huge Horned
Temple. You must enter the Temple to learn more.
Places Unlocked: The Pike
Completion:
The moment you accept the quest, you will have to approach the temple. You
will get stopped by a Minotaur named Tauron Flamebite. He prevents you
from entering the temple because you are unclean. Tauron will tell you to
travel to an area called The Pike. The Pike will be blocked off by a
Minotaur. Minotaurs can use the Charge skill to get rid of an entire row
and deal damage to you. Also, if they deal damage to you, they have a 50%
chance of getting an extra turn because of their Great Axe. You should be
able used to fighting Minotaurs by now, so this shouldn't be a problem.
When you have defeated the Minotaur and reach The Pike, you will find the
heads of many races on pikes. Apparently, this was supposed to be some kind
of warning. Make your way back to the Horned Temple and talk to Tauron
again. Tauron will not have expected you to return, but you somehow manage.
Tauron will then inform you that he doesn't know about the Minotaur slavers
and that the Firewalkers are a different type of Minotaur. Tauron sends out
a Firewalker Shaman to take you on to prove that they are different. You
will have to face off with another Minotaur. This Minotaur has the Fire
Bolt spell and the Rain of Fire spell. This shouldn't make the Minotaur an
different from the other Minotaurs you have defeated, so just treat him as
normal. When the Firewalker is defeated, Tauron is impressed, but you still
cannot enter the Temple. You will need to become purified before you can
enter the Temple.
Reward: +100 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Slave Trail Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you have proven your worth to Tauron, you will need to gain entrance
to the temple. In order to do this, you will have to purify yourself by
passing through a trial.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Trial by Fire
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must undergo a ritual cleansing by the Minotaur Firewalkers.
Once you have done this, they will agree to talk to you.
Places Unlocked: Volcano (disappears eventually)
Completion:
In order to gain access to the Horned Temple and to be able to talk to
people with knowledge about what is going on, you will have to undergo the
ritual to become a Firewalker initiate. The trial is to go up to the
Volcano and fight a Fire Elemental. The Volcano is located northeast of the
Horned Temple. When you reach the Volcano, you will face off with a Fire
Elemental. Fire Elementals can use the spell Wall of Fire to protect itself
from damage and Fire Siphon to drain your Red Mana and heal itself. Wall of
Fire is very annoying because the Fire Elemental likes to horde Red Mana.
When you manage to defeat the Fire Elemental, make your way back to the
Horned Temple and talk to Tauron again. Tauron sees a transformation in you
and declares you a Minotaur Firewalker, which gives you an award. Now you
can inquire about the slaves that have been taken from your homelands. You
learn about Sartek and Lord Bane and what it takes for Sartek to become
revived. You also learn that Lord Bane is currently in control of the
Realms of War and seem to be behind the Slavers. Finally, you hear about
Minogoth and where he is located at. Tauron says that the best way to save
your comrades is to piece Sartek back together.
Reward: +100 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Trial by Fire Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that you are officially a Firewalker, you will need to participate in the
tasks that the Firewalkers perform. Namely, piecing together Lord Sartek and
reviving him for the impending rematch with Lord Bane. The Firewalkers have
most of the pieces of the God. You just need to find the remaining ones.
First up are the Horns of Sartek.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Horns of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must challenge a Minotaur Tribe in an attempt to reclaim the
Horns of Sartek.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
The moment you accept this quest, you will be introduced to an elder
Minotaur Firewalker named Sunspear. He will become one of your companions
and will guide you through the process of collecting the pieces of the god
known as Sartek. Even though he is old, he is very wise and will help you
in battles against Minotaurs, which you will run into quite frequently from
now on. He will inform you that the Horns of Sartek can be found in the
city of Tusk. In order to get the Horns, you will have to travel to the
city and challenge the Minotaurs there. Winner takes all in Minotaur
society, so make your way over to the city of Tusk, which is northeast of
The Pike. When you reach the city of Tusk, Sunspear will give you some
knowledge about Minotaur society. After this speech, challenge the
Minotaurs for the Horns of Sartek. You should be used to fighting Minotaurs
by now, so you should know that they have the Charge! skill and Great Axes,
neither of which is too much to worry about. Also, since you now have
Sunspear as your companion, you will gain some Red Mana at the start of the
battle. If you are a Warrior or a Mage, this can be a good thing, since
both of those classes rely on Red Mana. When the first Minotaur is
defeated, you will have to challenge the leader of the Minotaurs of this
area. The Chieftain Minotaur is just like any other Minotaur except for the
fact that he has the Cleave skill, which can destroy all Yellow Gems and
deals damage to you based on what is destroyed. Also, the Chieftain does
have some armor on. This shouldn't provide too many problems for you, so
simply treat this as a normal Minotaur battle. When the Chieftain Minotaur
is defeated, you will obtain the Horns of Sartek. Apparently, this is the
93rd and 94th pieces of Sartek with only 7 more pieces left to go, so you
don't have to find all 100 pieces of the God.
Reward: +100 Gold, +100 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Horns of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, now that you have the Horns of Sartek, it is time to collect more
pieces of Sartek. However, you will soon realize that not everyone wants
Sartek to return.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Eye of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must obtain the Eye of Sartek from the Elves and return it to the
Horned Temple.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
You will have to get one of the Eyes of Sartek from the Elves of Silvermyr.
The Elves there use the Eye of Sartek on top of the Tree of Seeing as a way
to see around their kingdom and look for approaching danger. Hopefully
asking Queen Titania nicely will make her give up the Eye of Sartek. If you
have completed the Side Quest Arioc Blockade, you should have a quick path
from the Horned Temple to Silvermyr. If not, you will probably have to take
the long way around. When you reach Silvermyr, the Queen will hear your
request, but will deny you the Eye of Sartek. Looks like the only way you
are going to get the Eye of Sartek is by stealing it. You will have to
climb the Tree of Seeing, but in the middle of the climb, you will get
attacked by an Elven Guard. Elven Guards are very well balanced in their
skills and their equipment. Elven Guards have equipment that will increase
their Mana Reserves. Also, they have the Archery skill, which will deal
direct damage to you based on your Yellow Mana, and they have the Entangle
spell, which can stun you. Finally, they have the Gemberry spell, which
heals their life points based on their Blue Mana. If you have Princess
Serephine on your team, she will provide you with some aid in helping you
dispatch the guard. When the Elven Guard is defeated, you will climb to the
top of the Tree of Seeing. However, when you try to take the Eye of Sartek,
you will get stopped by a Griffon. Griffons have a dangerous combination of
skills. Their Soar skill can turn all Green and Blue Gems into Yellow Gems,
which will set up their Death Dive skill, which deals direct damage to you
based on the number of Yellow Gems on the board. However, if you have the
Cleave skill or any other skills that deal with Yellow Gems on the board,
you should be able to quickly dispatch of the Griffon. Even if you don't
have any skills dealing with Yellow Gems, the Griffon should not be a hard
opponent. When the Griffon is defeated, you will obtain the Eye of Sartek.
However, blocking your exit out of Silvermyr is another Elven Guard. I
mean, after all, you are now on the Silvermyr ten most wanted list. You'd
think there would be more Guards wanting your head. This Guard is the same
as the one you've fought already, so just follow the same procedure. When
the guard is defeated, make your way back to the Horned Temple and complete
your mission. Tauron is happy that you have the Eye, but you're not so
happy about the theft. Some sacrifices have to be made to save the world...
Reward: +50 Gold, +100 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Eye of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only six more pieces of Sartek remain. The next piece to locate will be the
Tail of Sartek.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Tail of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must defeat a Minotaur Slaver who wields the legendary Tail of
Sartek as a whip. Then you must return the Tail to the Horned Temple.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
The next piece of Sartek is currently in the hands of a Minotaur Slaver. It
is in the city of Blackhoof which is in the Realms of War. Blackhoof is
west of Tusk, so make your way over there and challenge the Minotaur Slaver.
The Slaver has the Tail of Sartek as his weapon. He wields it like a Whip,
which will deal 1 to 10 points of damage to you whenever he gains 3 or more
Red Mana. Other than that, he is a regular Minotaur. Other than keeping
Red Mana away from him, there should be nothing else you need to worry
about. When the Minotaur Slaver is defeated, return back to the Horned
Temple and return the Tail to Tauron.
Reward: +50 Gold, +100 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Tail of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the Tail of Sartek in possession of the temple, you will now need to
track down only five more pieces of the God.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Tooth of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must obtain the Tooth of Sartek from the Gnoll Chieftain in Hyaan
and return it to Tauron.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Be lucky that you only need one Tooth and not the entire set. Tauron was
nice enough to find the rest for you. Sunspear informs you that the Tooth
is currently in possession of a Gnoll Chieftain. The Gnoll city of Hyaan
can be found southwest of The Pike. There will be a Gnoll standing in the
way of Hyaan, so you will have to defeat it first. Gnolls can be annoying
because their Accessory, the Gnoll Pack, makes them stronger each time they
gain Gold or Experience. Also, when they deal damage, they gain a little
bit of life. Finally, they have the Sense Blood skill, which destroys Red
and Blue Gems and gives the Gnoll Gold for it, which allows them to become
stronger because of their Gnoll Pack, and they have the Hide skill, which
doubles all damage they deal while Hidden. When you have gotten through the
Gnoll, make your way to Hyaan. When you try to visit the Chieftain, a Gnoll
will stop you. The Gnolls name is Staf and he wants to become leader of the
Gnolls. In order to do that, he will need the old Chieftain to be defeated,
which was what you were going to do anyways. Staf says that if you defeat
the old Chieftain, he will give you the Tooth as a thank you. When you are
done talking to Staf, challenge the Chieftain to a battle. This Gnoll will
be just like the Gnoll you've fought before except this one is tougher that
normal and he is equipped with the Tooth of Sartek as his accessory instead
of the Gnoll Pack. The Tooth of Sartek will increase the damage done to you
when the Gnoll Chieftain matches skulls. Finally, he has more skills than
most Gnolls do, like Sneak Attack and Stun. Sneak Attack can get annoying
because it deals direct damage to you without having to lose a turn for your
opponent. You should be able to defeat this Gnoll pretty handily by this
time, so when the Gnoll Chieftain falls, you get the Tooth of Sartek from
Staf. Return to Tauron and give him the Tooth, along with information on
the state of Hyaan.
Reward: +200 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Tooth of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now it's 97 down, 4 more to go. It's like Legos, only with body parts of a
God.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Spine of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must travel into Southern Kor and find an Ogre Mage that has made
the Spine of Sartek into a war banner.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
The Spine is kind of important for every day living and movement. Sunspear
knows where the Spine is and he is giving the task of getting the Spine to
you. An Ogre Mage has the Spine of Sartek. Unfortunately for you, the Ogre
Mage is in Southern Kor in the city of Gluk. It is a long journey and there
should be many random enemies along the way. When you finally reach Gluk,
battle the Ogre Mage. Ogre Mages can create a +5 Skull whenever you deal
damage to them. Also, they can create Wildcards with their Wild Magic
spell. Finally, this Ogre Mage is in possession of the Spine of Sartek,
which adds +20 to his Morale skill, meaning this Ogre Mage has a lot of Life
Points. However, this should not be too difficult of a battle for you, even
though Sunspear warned you that this might be difficult. When the Ogre Mage
is defeated, begin your trek back north to the Horned Temple. When you
reach the Horned Temple, give the Spine of Sartek to Tauron. Tauron will be
overjoyed at you returning the Spine of Sartek.
Reward: +250 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Spine of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three more pieces left. If you put together Sartek, does that mean that a
God will owe you a huge favor? I mean, after all, being put back together
should count as something major that you should receive huge compensation
for.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ribs of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: Somewhere in the Realms of War a Minotaur King has hidden the Ribs of
Sartek. You must find them.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
The programmers of this game could have been mean and told you to find each
individual rib for Sartek. Instead, you just simply have to find the entire
ribcage, which is still intact. A Minotaur King has fashioned the Ribs of
Sartek into a battle armor. It seems like each piece of Sartek is good for
some type of fashion accessory. Anyways, Sunspear tells you that he does
not know where the Minotaur King is, so you will have to hunt throughout the
entire Realms of War to find him. There will be shining stars at The Pike,
Weret, Blackhoof, and Giants' Walk. At each of these places, you will have
to search for the Ribs of Sartek. If you do not find the Ribs, you will
have to continue on and search at the next area. The place where the Ribs
are at is random. When you finally find the Ribs of Sartek, you will be
challenged by a Minotaur King. The Minotaur King is wearing the Ribs of
Sartek as armor. The Ribs of Sartek protects against 5 points of damage
whenever the Minotaur King receives 10 or more points of damage. Other than
that, you simply just have to deal with things that the Minotaur Kings have,
which is the Great Axe, the Charge! skill, and the Berserk Rage spell. Just
like fighting a stronger version of a Minotaur. If you have Drong in your
party after you have defeated the Minotaur King, he will try to take a bite
out of the Ribs of Sartek. These aren't barbecue ribs, but I don't think
Drong cares. Either way, you promise Drong that the next God you guys run
across, Drong can take a nice bite out of him. Hopefully your words won't
come back to haunt you... When the Minotaur King is defeated, make your way
back to the Horned Temple. Tauron is starting to get really excited at all
the pieces of Sartek you have brought back.
Reward: +300 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ribs of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only things left to find are the Crest of Sartek and the Skull of Sartek.
Sartek is looking more like a God each and every day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Crest of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must find a Knight in the Borderlands who has had the Crest of
Sartek mounted onto his helm, then return to Tauron with the Crest.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
This time, you inform Sunspear of where the next journey should be. He
tells you that the Crest of Sartek is located at a place called the Red
Tower and you tell him it is in a city called Maethelburg. So now, you must
travel all the way to Maethelburg and talk to a Knight there. This will be
another long journey with lots of random monsters in your way. When you get
to Gallia, if you have Darkhunter in your party, he will inform you that he
still cannot enter Maethelburg. He will then finally agree to tell you his
story. Apparently, he fell in love with a girl named Liandra. Liandra is
the daughter of Lord Greythane. Remember Liandra? If you have been doing
the Darkhunter Side Quests, you will already know Liandra is currently
Undead. Liandra, before she became evil and all dead, she was betrothed to
Darkhunter. Unfortunately, she became Undead when Darkhunter wanted to kill
off an Undead Sorcerer and failed to do so, allowing Liandra to die and
become Undead. Either way, you cannot enter Maethelburg with Darkhunter in
your party. So, for now, take him out of your party. He will let you know
that he will be in Gallia when you want to pick him up again. When
Darkhunter is not in your party anymore, make your way to Maethelburg and
visit the Red Tower. Talk to Lord Greythane and tell him you are looking
for a certain Knight. When you describe the Crest he has, Lord Greythane
will tell you that you are looking for Sir Borik. He is no longer a
Riverguard, but Lord Greythane tells you that you can find him in
Drakenburg. Make your way back to Gallia and pick up Darkhunter again and
then travel west to Drakenburg. When you reach Drakenburg, challenge Sir
Borik to a battle. Sir Borik is a very powerful Knight. He has very good
armor on and the Crest of Sartek he has on his head will increase his
Resistances every time he matches up 4 or 5 Gems. Also, he has the Revenant
spell which increase his Battle skill and has the Favor spell which can heal
his life. This is all on top of the Thrust and Divine Right skills Knights
normally have. Finally, Sir Borik has a high Life Points total and high
Battle, all of which will make a tough battle. When you defeat Sir Borik,
you get his helm with the Crest of Sartek as your prize. You will now need
to head back to the Horned Temple, which is still a long journey. However,
when you leave Drakenburg, another Knight will be waiting for you to fight
you. This Knight is just a normal Knight, so you should be able to defeat
this Knight relatively easily compared to Sir Borik. When that Knight is
defeated, continue your journey to the Horned Temple. When you reach the
Horned Temple, Tauron will tell you the location of the last piece of
Sartek. It is in the Horned Citadel of Othar.
Reward: +400 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Crest of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just one more piece remains. Finally, the fetch quests from Hell is almost
over. The final piece of Sartek is located in Othar. However, Othar is not
unoccupied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Skull of Sartek
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must steal the final piece of Sartek, his huge skull, from
Minogoth, in the Horned Citadel of Othar.
Places Unlocked: Othar
Completion:
Minogoth, the Minotaur that seems to be running the show for Lord Bane in
the Realms of War, currently has the Skull of Sartek in his possession to
prevent you from rebuilding the God. Minogoth apparently cannot be
completed defeated at this time. If he is defeated, he will just rise up
again because he is Undead. Undead are annoying like that. While you are
fighting Minogoth, the other Firewalkers plan to steal the Skull away from
Minogoth. Sounds easy enough to be a distraction. Othar is north of
Blackhoof, so make your way over to there. After the long journeys you have
been going on, this should be a welcome easy short travel. When you reach
Othar, if you have Flicker in your party, he will do a fly by of Othar and
inform you of what is going on inside of the Citadel. He tells you that
Minogoth is all over the Skull of Sartek and that you will not get it
without going through Minogoth first. When you enter the Horned Citadel,
Minogoth will talk big about eating you and then turning you into a slave.
In the end, this conflict must be settled with violence as you take on the
Undead Minogoth.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Boss Battle: Minogoth |
| |
| Info: This Minotaur Doomknight can Charge like a bull and manipulate |
| Skulls like the Undead. He also destroys all Purple Stars whenever |
| matching 4 or 5 of a kind. |
| |
| Equipment: |
| Helmet and Crowns: Skull of Minogoth |
| Destroys all Purple Stars, giving full effect for each one, |
| whenever you match 4 or 5 gems |
| Armor: Armor of Minogoth |
| Protects against 1 point of damage whenever you receive 2 or more |
| damage, and adds +15% to Earth Resistance |
| Weapon: Axe of Doom |
| Adds +1 damage and destroys all Red Skulls whenever you do 3 or |
| more damage |
| Miscellaneous: Full Plate Boots |
| Gives a 100% chance to protect against 1 point of damage whenever |
| you receive 2 or more damage |
| |
| Skills: |
| Charge! |
| Destroys a selected row of gems and does 5 points of damage. You |
| gain the effects of every gem destroyed |
| Flaming Skulls |
| Turns Green Gems into Skulls and Blue Gems into Red Gems |
| Wake the Dead |
| Turns 1 Skull into 1 +5 Skull for every 5 Green Mana. After gems |
| are transformed, the turn ends |
| |
| Tips: |
| Minogoth comes equipped with some serious equipment. By far, his |
| Armor of Minogoth might provide the most headaches, since it |
| increases his Earth Resistance by a lot at the start of battle. If |
| you rely on any spells that use Green Mana, you might not be able to |
| land those spells very often. Luckily, the Resistance caps after a |
| while. Also, his Axe of Doom combos very well with his Wake the Dead |
| spell. If he uses the Wake the Dead spell, try not to let him match |
| any Skulls until you can clear the board of some of the +5 Skulls. |
| Finally, every time he matches up 4 or 5 Gems, all of the Purple |
| Stars will disappear, meaning he is anti-Knight. Hopefully, if you |
| are playing as a Knight, you can set up your loop combos before |
| Minogoth gets rid of all the Purple Stars on the board (at least, you |
| should be able to by this time almost get off the loop combo on the |
| first couple of turns). By this time, you should know what is your |
| best skills and combos to use against most enemies, so throw out your |
| best loops and spells to take down the Undead Minotaur. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When the Undead Minotaur goes down, you will interrogate Minogoth. He is
more talkative than the Mechataur. Minogoth informs you that Lord Bane gets
all the slaves and metal that Minogoth collects, but won't tell you any more
than that. At least you manage to grab the Skull of Sartek before Minogoth
can recover. You also steal the Armor off of his body, which is a nice
prize added on. When you return the Skull to Tauron, Tauron agrees to clear
out a path for you to get to Lord Bane.
Reward: +600 Experience, Armor of Minogoth
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Skull of Sartek Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that Sartek has all of his limbs, he can finally go out and help you
defeat Lord Bane. Now, it's time to invade Lord Bane's territory and try to
put a stop to his madness.

The Firewalkers put Lord Sartek back together and prepare the ritual to
awaken their God. Then, when Lord Sartek rose up, he defeated Minogoth in
Othar and the rest of Lord Bane's forces in the Realms of War. However, Lord
Bane is still out there, scheming away and continuing his plans.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Gornak's Gap
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must cross the mountains into the Realms of Death in search of
Lord Bane.
Places Unlocked: Bane's Citadel (disappears during story), Gornak's Gap,
Graww (disappears during story), Sea of Ice (disappears during story)
Completion:
Tauron will see you off on your journey into Lord Bane's territory, the
Realms of Death. Tauron marks off the path to Lord Bane's Citadel on your
map. Unfortunately for you, when you reach Gornak's Gap, Lord Bane will
make his first appearance to you in person. Lord Bane tells you to go away.
So if he is a God and all that, why is he telling you to go away instead of
just smiting you? It's probably because he is afraid of you. Lord Bane
sends a Doomknight after you to do his dirty work. Also, a blizzard will
cover up the path to Bane's Citadel. Definitely afraid of you. Take on the
Doomknight that Bane has left for you to play with. Doomknights are Undead
and have the Wake the Dead spell. Also, they have a combo using their
Burial spell. The Burial spell will turn all Skulls and Gold Coins into
Green Gems. With this, the Doomknight can possibly get more Green Mana,
which powers up their Unholy Lance, which deals more damage the more Green
Mana the Doomknights have, and powers up their Sword of Bane spell, which
deals direct damage to you based on the Doomknight's Green Mana. Also,
their armor increases their Earth Resistance, which means that spells using
Green Mana have a chance of being resisted by them. A powerful foe indeed,
but you should be even more powerful. I mean, after all, you just scared a
God off. When the Doomknight is defeated, Sunspear will inform you that the
blizzard is too rough to go through and that you will have to find another
way to get to Bane's Citadel. Make your way back to Othar and talk to
Tauron. Tauron tells you that there is another way to get to the Realms of
Death, but it is through the Gnoll lands of Hyaan and then through the High
Elves lands.
Reward: +325 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Gornak's Gap Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lord Bane is hiding in his own realm. However, there is another way to reach
him. It is through the realms of the High Elves. Maybe these Elves will
like you more than the last nation of Elves. Well, you did steal stuff from
them...so they have their reasons...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Northern Tundra
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must travel to the Ruins of Ylarie in the Northern Tundra and
seek help from the High Elves who guard the remaining two passes into
Lord Bane's realm.
Places Unlocked: Eldros' Tower, Ylarie
Completion:
Tauron gives you directions to the realm of the High Elves. The High Elves
live on the Northern Tundra in the ruins of Ylarie. First, make your way to
Hyaan. Once you reach Hyaan, you will have to head west of there to Ylarie.
There should be a Wight that tries to block your path to Eldros' Tower.
Wights are annoying in the fact that they can steal your Red Mana and turn
it into Blue Mana for them using their Wightblades. With this Blue Mana,
they can use the spell Spectral Force, which stuns you for a couple of
turns. When the Wight is vanquished, make your way to Eldros' Tower. You
will run into a female High Elf Dragonknight. She will stop you and
question your intentions for wanting to go into the Realms of Death. She
decides to escort you to Ylarie. However, in the path of Ylarie is a Liche.
When you damage a Liche, a +5 Skull will appear randomly on the board.
Also, they have a spell called Death Gaze, which will cut your Life Points
in half and randomly create Skulls on the board. Not very fun at all. When
the Liche is out of the way, you will reach Ylarie. The High Elf
Dragonknight, named Elistara will show you a tour of her home, which is in
ruins. Apparently, she has all but given up the fight, but you haven't.
The slaves you were trying to rescue are now the Undead you fight and the
metal you were trying to retrieve is now weapons for Lord Bane's army.
Well, since you can't save people, you might as well get rid of the person
who is doing all of this.
Reward: +250 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Northern Tundra Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lord Bane's Undead army has been advancing upon the ruins of Ylarie for some
time now. Apparently, they are going to make another push again. Ylarie is
important for reaching Lord Bane's Citadel, so you will need to defend the
city.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ylarie Defense
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must help the High Elves defend Ylarie against waves of Undead
attackers.
Places Unlocked: Eldros' Tower, Ylarie
Completion:
You first need to try to convince Elistara that the fight against Bane isn't
over yet. To convince her, you will need to defend Ylarie from the Undead.
Also, Ylarie is important to getting to the passes to reach Bane's Citadel,
so defending Ylarie is strategically important also. First, you will need
to defend Ylarie against a Zombie. Zombies can inflict Disease upon you
with their attacks. Furthermore, their Eat Skulls spell will increase their
Battle for each Skull eaten. The Zombie shouldn't be too hard to take down,
but this is merely the first wave. The second wave is a Wight. Wights can
be a pain because they can drain your Red Mana with their Wightblades and
convert them to Blue Mana for them. With that Blue Mana, they can case the
Spectral Force spell, which will stun you for a few turns. When the Wight
is defeated, you will tell Elistara that you are winning. However, she is
still pessimistic about the whole deal. The final creature that you will
need to defend against is a Doomknight. You should remember fighting one of
these before when Bane blocked your path with the blizzard. Simply keep an
eye on the Doomknight's Green Mana to avoid taking too much damage from the
Sword of Bane spell and their Unholy Lances. When the Doomknight is
defeated, you apparently get cocky and start to brag to Darkhunter about
your victories. Darkhunter tells you that an Arkliche may be behind the
attacks. Apparently, the Arkliche was the creature that killed Liandra.
Either way, the Arkliche is your fourth foe. Arkliches can create +5 Skulls
on the board every time you attack them and can randomly create a Skull on
their turn. Also, they can drain your Experience points and can use the
spell Soul Swap, which switches your Mana Reserves with their Mana Reserves.
They also have a high Fire Resistance to stop your spells. Finally, you
must be wary of their Death Gaze spell, which will half your Life Points.
This foe is basically the top of the food chain when it comes to the Undead.
If you manage to down the Arkliche, Elistara becomes convinced that maybe
you might be able to turn the tides of the war against Bane.
Reward: +250 Gold, +350 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Ylarie Defense Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elistara is now firmly convinced that you can take out Lord Bane's entire
army on your own. It's now time to make your way north to Bane's Citadel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Skullguard Keep
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must help the High Elves to recapture Skullguard Keep.
Places Unlocked: Skullguard Keep
Completion:
There are two passes into Bane's Realm of Death. You must recapture one of
those passes right now to prevent Bane's army from entering your territory
and giving you a way into his territory. There is an Arkliche defending
Skullguard Keep, but it should be like just like the time you knocked off
the first one. Skullguard Keep is north of Ylarie, so make your way over to
there. If you have Darkhunter in your party, you will find out that the
Arkliche here is the one that killed Darkhunter's betrothed, Liandra. In
order to recapture the Keep, you will need to defeat this Arkliche. It's
just like the first Arkliche you fought, so be careful of its Death Gaze and
Soul Swap. When the Arkliche is defeated, you will learn from Elistara that
you will be a honorary member of the Skullguard. Elistara remembers the
first time Lord Bane was defeated, which was six hundred years ago.
Apparently, High Elves live forever. You learn that one of your ancestors
single handedly defeated Lord Bane. Lord Bane has good reason to fear you
because he's been knocked off by your family once.
Reward: +300 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Skullguard Keep Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helping the High Elves is the best chance you have to defeat Lord Bane and
his minions. The High Elven Mages have something they can do that might help
turn the tides of the war.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Future
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must gather some herbs for the High Elven Mages who need them to
cast a spell of farseeing.
Places Unlocked: Bonebridge
Completion:
Elistara informs you that the High Elven Mages want to look into Lord Bane's
territory using their magic. However, in order to do so, they need some
herbs in Lord Bane's territory. Elistara also tells you about a creature
known as the Arboleth. Arboleths are one of Lord Bane's experiments gone
wrong. They are a twisted mass of misfortune and have a high resistance to
magic. The area you need to get to is the Bonebridge, which is north of
Skullguard Keep. When you reach the Bonebridge and search for the herbs,
you get jumped by an Arboleth. Arboleths know the spells Wild Magic, which
creates Wildcards at random on the board, Chaos Bolt, which deals direct
damage to you based on a random Mana Reserve, and Consume Mana, which
destroys all the Gems of a certain color and gives the Arboleth that Mana.
Also, they have a 10% magic resistance across the board, so they can be hard
to hit with spells that span multiple colors. Finally, their equipment, the
Chaos Skin, will heal themselves whenever you cast a spell. Besides all of
that, it's just plain ugly and needs to be put down. When you have defeated
the Arboleth, you will obtain the first set of herbs the High Elven Mages
want. If you have Sunspear in your party, he will make an observation about
the Arboleths. You will need to now search for the second set of herbs,
which is in the same area. This time, you will get jumped by a Liche.
After fighting off the Arboleth, the Liche should seem pretty tame and easy.
When you have the second set of herbs, make your way back to Ylarie and
complete your mission. Elistara will inform you that the Arboleths are
byproducts of Lord Bane's creations and there have been more of them lately,
which means Lord Bane has been producing a lot more Undead.
Reward: +250 Gold, +250 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: The Future Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have been doing all the Side Quests up until now, you should end up
finding your ninth companion in the form of Elistara. However, you can only
have eight companions with you. The first time I went through the game, I
left Darkhunter off of my party. The second time, I left Patch off of my
team. I think neither of them have any more Side Quests after you finish the
Liandra side story and find a safe place for Patch's treasure, but I'm not
100% sure on either count. Either way, Elistara is a good member to have on
your team because she adds Water Resistance and any form of Spell Resistance
is good. When you are finished rounding out your party, move on to the next
task at hand when dealing with Lord Bane.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Three Skulls
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must find and defeat the three Generals of Lord Bane's army, evil
Sorcerers who are preparing his army of Undead.
Places Unlocked: Graww, Sea of Ice
Completion:
In order to cripple Lord Bane's army, you must take out the three generals
helping to create and lead his army of Undead. If you manage to take out
these three Necromancers, the Undead army will be unable, for now, to attack
Skullguard Keep, which seems to be their first target. Unfortunately, even
if you manage to defeat the Necromancers, they will probably become
Arkliches, which is no better. However, this delay might be what you need
to get to Lord Bane before he can take Skullguard Keep. The first of Lord
Bane's Necromancers is at the Bonebridge. Head over there and fight the
Necromancer. Of course, the Necromancer tries to make you not kill him, but
merely think of him begging for his miserable life and move on with the
stabbing. Necromancers have equipment and spells that will drain your Mana
Reserves. Their Sorceror's Cloak and Necrotic Staff will drain your Mana
every time you damage the Necromancer or cast a spell. Their Dark Bolt and
Mana Burn also drain your Mana, with the Dark Bolt inflicting Blind as well.
Finally, their Bonefire Helm, Ring of Earth, and Burial spell are designed
to up the Necromancer's Green Mana so that their Bone Avatar spell will up
their Battle skill by a whole lot. Luckily, the only thing you don't have
to worry about when dealing with Necromancers is direct damage. Try to get
off a powerful spell as soon as you can, as you don't want your Mana to be
drained by the Necromancer. Unfortunately, if you are playing a class the
depends on loops, this might be a difficult battle, as casting a spell will
drain your Mana. When this Necromancer is defeated, you will need to move
on to the next one. The next Necromancer is at the Lake of Blood. Like the
last Necromancer, this one wants to talk before his death. It fights the
same way as the first one, so just use the same tactics as before. The
final Necromancer is at the Sea of Ice. Apparently, talking trash before
death is a common trait among Necromancers. Defeat this one like you have
the other two. When the final Necromancer is defeated, Lord Bane will
personally talk to you again. You give Lord Bane the chance to surrender,
but he refuses. Talk about missing your opportunity to save your hide. The
good guy always wins.
Reward: +200 Gold, +450 Experience
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Three Skulls Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bane's Generals have been defeated. The way to Bane's Citadel is now open.
Only Bane himself remains. When you are ready, make your way over to Bane's
Citadel and break your way in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story Quest: Bane's Citadel
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: You must enter Bane's Citadel and make your way to his throne room,
ready to confront him.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Lord Bane will inform you of how he creates his Undead. He uses a device
called the Wheel of Pain that tortures a creature so badly that when they
die, they rise up as Undead. In order to put a stop to Lord Bane's madness,
you will need to defeat the God himself. Confront Lord Bane and fight him.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Boss Battle: Lord Bane |
| |
| Info: Lord Bane is immensely powerful. He has spells which can destroy |
| Mana Gems and improve his skills, while his items increase his power |
| based on those skills. |
| |
| Equipment: |
| Helmet and Crowns: Bane's Crown |
| Adds +1 to Battle, Cunning and Morale for every 3 points of Air |
| Mastery |
| Armor: Bane's Cloak |
| Gives a 1% chance per 3 points of Water Mastery to add +10 to Life |
| Points at the start of each of your turns |
| Weapon: Bane's Sword |
| Adds +1 damage for every 3 points of Fire Mastery whenever you do |
| 3 or more damage |
| Miscellaneous: Bane's Shield |
| Adds +1 to all Resistances for every 3 points of Earth Mastery |
| |
| Skills: |
| Banefire |
| Destroys all Red Gems, and adds +1 to Fire Mastery for each one. |
| You gain full effect for each gem destroyed |
| Banestorm |
| Destroys all Yellow Gems, and adds +1 to Air Mastery for each one. |
| You gain full effect for each gem destroyed |
| Banequake |
| Destroys all Green Gems, and adds +1 to Earth Mastery for each |
| one. You gain full effect for each gem destroyed |
| Banefrost |
| Destroys all Blue Gems, and adds +1 to Water Mastery for each one. |
| You gain full effect for each gem destroyed |
| |
| Tips: |
| Lord Bane is a God, so therefore, he is going to be tough to defeat. |
| His spells are all cheap and they destroy Gems of a certain color. |
| Even more so, every time he destroys Gems like that, he gains points in |
| his Spell Masteries. This just makes his equipment even more powerful, |
| because the higher his Masteries are, the more powerful his equipment |
| become. His Crown can increase his Battle and Life Points total based |
| on his Air Mastery while his Cloak can randomly heal himself based on |
| his Water Mastery. Finally, his sword deals more damage the higher his |
| Fire Mastery is while his Shield increases his Spell Resistances based |
| on his Earth Mastery. Definitely a powerful foe. His Masteries already |
| start off at a decent level, so his stats will be powered up from the |
| get go. The way to get to Lord Bane is to try to hit him hard or loop |
| him right from the start. The longer the battle goes, the less likely |
| you will win. That is pretty much it. Just do what you have been doing |
| normally in battles, except faster and quicker. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When Bane is finally defeated, he will inform you that he is a God and that
he will rise up again. However, you kindly remind him that there is a
certain Lord Sartek, who is a God also, that has been looking to carve up
Bane into many pieces and scatter him to the ends of the earth. If you have
Drong in your party, he will try to eat Lord Bane. Well, you did say he
could eat the next God you run across...
Reward: +1000 Gold, +2000 Experience

Now just watch the ending and the end of Lord Bane.

With Lord Bane's defeat, there is nothing left in the story to do. However,
you can continue to do Side Quests and capturing monsters and building
yourself and your empire up to be even more powerful. Congratulations. You

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 5. City Side Quests
PQUCITYQ \_______________________________________________________
There are many different side quests in this game. I have classified them
into two different categories. The first category is city side quests. City
side quests are where the side quests are entirely based in a city and not on
a character.
The only one that really isn't completely based on a city are the Enmouth
Side Quests. Those quests can lead up to Princess Serephine. The only
reason why they are listed there instead of her quest list is because most of
the quests there are not based on Princess Serephine, including the last
quest of the set. Rather than split them up, I just placed all of them for
Enmouth.

for signs of trouble. You must perform one such patrol, traveling from
Bartonia to Elenia and back again.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
All you have to do is simply go to Elenia and then head back to Bartonia.
However, when you reach Elenia, you will receive a report that Undead have
appeared on the path back to Bartonia. The Undead you will be facing is a
Skeleton, which is just the garden variety type of monster. After you reach
Bartonia, your quest will be complete.
Reward: +10 Experience, +20 Gold

Side Quest: Spider Bait
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Bartonia
Requirements: Have completed the Story Quest The Missive
Info: Giant Spiders have infested the Ancient Grove where the Elenian
Druids hold their ceremonies. If you can slay the largest of these
spiders, the rest will probably leave.
Places Unlocked: Ancient Grove (disappears eventually)
Completion:
The Ancient Grove is north of Elenia. Make your way over to there and then
fight the Giant Spider. This Giant Spider has the Howl skill, but you
shouldn't worry about that too much. You should worry more about the Poison
it can inflict. When this Giant Spider is killed, the rest run away,
allowing the Druids of Elenia to go back to whatever they were doing.
Reward: +100 Gold, +35 Experience

Side Quest: Spider Bait Complete!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Side Quest: Beneath Gildor
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Bartonia
Requirements: Have completed the Story Quest The Missive and above level 5
Info: Giant Rats have been plaguing Gildor. You must seek out the largest
of these rats and slay it.
Places Unlocked: Gildine Sewers (disappears eventually)
Completion:
The Gildine Sewers is located west of Gildor. Head over there to search the
sewers for the biggest of the Giant Rats. Since this tactic worked with the
Giant Spiders before, it should work for the Giant Rats, right?
Unfortunately, defeating the first Giant Rat won't solve the problem. You
will have to defeat two Giant Rats. You will have to defeat the first rat
and then search again to find the second rat. The first Giant Rat is
normal, but the second Giant Rat is Undead and has the Chill Touch skill,
which can drain your Red Mana. If you are dependant on Red Mana, you may
want to look out for that. When both rats are defeated, you will have to
search again.
After you search one more time, you will find the source of the problem.
Apparently, a Wight has been controlling the rats. Looks like the problem
is now an Undead problem. This Wight is known as the Rat King. All Wights
use a Wightblade, which can be a potentially deadly weapon, as it drains
your Red Mana and converts it to Blue Mana for your opponent. Wights need
Blue Mana to unleash its best skill, Spectral Force. This skill allows the
Wights to take many turns in succession, but it costs a lot of Blue Mana.
If the Wight uses this skill, you can be sure that you will end up taking
some type of damage during the turns the Wight has. When the Rat King is
defeated, the Rats will run away. Now, you can claim the amulet he has.
Reward: +40 Experience, Rat King's Amulet

Info: Bats have infested a tower in the Royal Crypt. You must travel there
and chase them away.
Places Unlocked: Royal Crypt (disappears eventually)
Completion:
While this quest is unlocked after level 6, you may want to wait a little
while to take on this quest. That is because the Bat you will need to face
is a Vampire Bat. Vampire Bats can cast the spell Vampirism, which takes
life from you and gives it to him. Also, the Vampire Bat has more life
points than most other Bats and also knows the Haste spell. When you are
ready to take on the Vampire Bat is located at the Royal Crypt, which is
west of Theira. When the large Vampire Bat is defeated, the rest of the
bats will fly away, leaving the Royal Crypt at peace again. Your reward for
the tough battle is very small.

in the possession of a Troll Ring, which can revive 1 point of life each
turn that the Ogre has 6 or more Blue Mana. When you defeat this Ogre, the

Minotaur Slavers. They can be found south of Enmouth at the Slavers Camp.
Make your way over there and you will end up fighting a Minotaur. Minotaurs
are normally equipped with a Great Axe, but this one has a Whip, which deals
damage to you if he matches up Yellow Mana, so you will have to make sure
neither Yellow Mana nor Skulls are on the board. When you have defeated the

after all, who wants to say they are married to someone named Utrarg?
Either way, since you are full of honor and stuff, you are the prime
candidate to lead her to her wedding altar. Princess Serephine is currently
at Barthel. Make your way over there and meet her. She will try to flatter
you and bribe you, but for now, force her to tag along. Now, you must head
south to The Trarg. Both paths should be blocked off by Wolves. Get rid of
either Wolf and then make your way to The Trarg. When you reach The Trarg,
Serephine will once again ask you to release her. She will ask you to take
her to Bartonia. You will be given a choice. You can either deliver
Serephine to Utrarg or make your way over to Bartonia and free Serephine.
If you free Serephine, she will join you as a companion and give you her
ring.
Reward: +2000 Gold, Serephine's Ring

Bartonia.

Completion:
It doesn't matter which choice you made in the previous quest, but make your
way back to Enmouth and receive the reply from the Emperor. Unfortunately,
he refuses to send any aid because he is an ass, but he does provide you
with a map that marks where some cultists are at. It's just a place to
fight some Imps to be able to capture one of them, so if you want to capture
an Imp, you might as well do it now, as when you complete the quest, you
will no longer be able to battle the Imps at the Dark Path Shrine. Either
way, head back to Bartonia and deliver the message to your Queen. She will
give you the opportunity to become a knight now.

Location: Bartonia
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Imperial Reply
Info: You must seek out and train with each of the 5 Orders of Agarian
Knights and then choose an Order to join.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
While this mission doesn't start off in Enmouth, it is a direct result of
all your quests in Enmouth. You will be given a chance to join one of the
Knightly Orders of Agaria. There are five orders of knights: one in
Bartonia and one in each of the territories surrounding Bartonia. You must
visit each knight's headquarters and train with one of their Knights. By
train you I mean you need to defeat a Knight in each area. It does not
matter in what order you face off with each knight. Each knight has
something special about him that represents his order of knights. The
knight at Bartonia has a higher Battle and Life Total than normal knights
and the Bartonian Knights are based off of discipline and chivalry. The
knight at Elenia has a Longbow and has the Archery skill and the Elenian
Knights are masters of stealth and archery. The knight at Gildor has really
good armor on him and the Gildine Knights believe that power lies in gold
and wealth. The knight at Siria has a Holy Lance which deals higher damage
if the knight has a lot of Yellow Mana and the Sirian Knights are the oldest
order and the most dedicated to purging evil. The knight at Theira has a
Theiran Hammer, which can change Yellow Gems to Blue Gems and the Theiran
Knights are built around strength. If you have Princess Serephine as your
Companion, she will help you out in each battle. When you have defeated all
five knights, you will be given a chance to join one of the orders. Each
order gives you a different bonus. Here is the list of bonuses you will
gain under each order:
Bartonian Knights: +2 Battle
Elenian Knights: +2 Earth Mastery
Gildine Knights: +2 Cunning
Sirian Knights: +3 Morale
Theiran Knights: +2 Fire Mastery
When you have chosen the Order you wish to join, your quest is complete.

Maethel, causing trouble for all who pass by. You must chase him away.
Places Unlocked: Egor's Bridge (disappears eventually)
Completion:
You will need to go on a Troll hunt and get rid of him to allow people to

first place you should look is a bridge. The bridge in question is just
north of Maethelburg, which is aptly named Egor's Bridge. When you reach
the bridge, you must battle the Troll. This Troll has some armor on him in
the form of a Scale Helm and also has a higher Cunning than most Trolls.
Furthermore, since you are fighting a Troll, you must deal with their
ability to use the skill Regeneration. Try to keep Egor's Blue Mana in

Undead thing doesn't work as well as they thought it would. Either way, you
will need to travel to Skellheim, with is just east of Drakenburg, and
defeat a Catapult. Catapults aren't too hard to defeat and their skills
aren't that powerful, so it should be a quick battle. When the Catapult is

find that dragon. Make your way over to the Swamp Cave, which is home of
the Swamp Dragon Embraxus, and search the cave. While searching the cave,
you will not find a dragon, but you will find a Troll. This Troll is larger
and stronger than most Trolls and also has the Rend skill. Also, all Trolls
have the Regeneration skill, which allows them to restore some of their
health at the cost of Blue Mana, so you should probably try to make sure the
Troll doesn't get very much Blue Mana. Either way, when you have defeated
the Troll, you find that there is no dragon in the area. Well, since there
is no dragon here, you might as well just steal some treasure for yourself.

time, they are traveling through Northern Kor. Northern Kor is just north
of Dhun-Kor, so make your way there and approach the caravan. You will have
to face a huge Orc in Plate Armor. And by Plate Armor, I mean everything,
as in Full Plate Helm, Full Plate Armor, and Full Plate Boots. The only
skill Orcs have is Enrage, so the only thing that should stop you from
making this a quick battle is the Plate Armor. Still, this shouldn't be too
hard. When that Orc is defeated, the rest of the Orcs scatter and you have

need to defeat two of them. Giant Scorpions can Hide and also Poison you.
Hide makes a creature deal double damage when attacking you. You can knock
an opponent out of their hidden status by dealing damage to them. The first

Cave can be found east of Bone Head. Make your way over there and fight the
Sandworm. Sandworms can Hide, which allows them to deal double damage if
they are hidden. You can knock an enemy out of Hide by dealing damage to
them. Also, they have the skills Sinkhole and Swallow Whole, which can be a
dangerous combination. The Sinkhole skill will halve all your Mana except
for Green Mana, which will be added onto the opponent's Green Mana. With
that Green Mana, that will power up the Swallow Whole skill, which deals
direct damage to you. If you rely on Mana other than Green, this might be a
tough battle. Either way, when you defeat the worm, you will find gold
inside the worm.

Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Apparently, Gobshooters are something to be feared. I mean, Goblins are bad
enough, but for them to be falling from the sky, that's just ten times
worse. You will need to make your way over to Snake Fang to destroy the
Gobshooter they are making. A Gobshooter is like a regular Catapult in the
fact that they have the Besiege skill. However, unlike regular Catapults,
they have the Hurl Goblin skill, which destroys a gem at random and that gem
has 20 times the effect. This should not be a hard battle, even if both of
their skills will some how magically find the +5 Skulls almost every time
(random isn't so random apparently). When the Gobshooter is destroyed, you
receive your reward. You can continue to go on this quest to eventually
capture a Gobshooter in your Dungeon.

by providing them with the eye of a Dragon to replace the eye you stole. In
order to get an eye of a Dragon, you must head over to the Dragon's

getting jumped by a Dragon Spider in the process. Dragon Spiders can
inflict Poison with their attacks. Also, they can use the Web spell which

direct damage to you. When you have defeated the Dragon Spider, you will
find the eye you have been looking for. Now, make your way over to
Silvermyr. Queen Titania will still be very upset at you for you reviving
Sartek. Apparently, Sartek is no friend of the Elves, but neither is Lord
Bane or the Undead. Apparently, even your gift of a new eye will not heal
relations between you and the Elves. Well, Elves were never big on doing

Completion:
According to Minotaur law, everything goes to the strongest fighter.
Therefore, in order to get a magical helm away from a Minotaur King, you

question can be found at Arik's Arena, which is south of Tusk. When you
reach Arik's Arena, challenge the Minotaur King. Minotaur Kings are the
same as Minotaurs except for the fact that they have the Berserk Rage spell
which turns Red Gems into Skulls. This particular Minotaur has the Freeze
spell, which can turn Red Mana into Blue Mana, which almost completely makes
the Berserk Rage spell useless. Along with these two spells, the Minotaur
King also has the Charge! skill, which takes out an entire row and deals
damage to you, and comes equipped with a Great Axe, which gives him a 50%
chance to take another turn if he deals damage to you. You should treat
this as a normal Minotaur battle except against a stronger Minotaur. When
you have defeated the Minotaur King, you receive the helm as your prize
along with some Experience.

increase the power of this spell, they can use the Channel Water spell,
which increase their Blue Mana. Also, they have the Wing Buffet spell,
which destroys all Yellow Gems on the board and stuns you, and the Tail Whip
spell, which is a direct damage spell. A potent foe indeed. Because of the
Frost Dragon's weapon and because of it's Wing Buffet spell, Yellow Mana may
be hard to come by. When you have defeated the Frost Dragon, you will
receive some treasure it was guarding.

be a common foe. They can Duplicate your items and use them against you.

anywhere near them, so it's your mission to drive it away. Make your way
over to the Lake of Blood and attack the Arboleth. Arboleths can heal
themselves whenever you cast a spell. Furthermore, their spell set is
designed to give them as much Mana as possible with Wild Magic and Consume
Mana and then hit you hard with a Chaos Bolt, which is a direct damage
spell. Finally, they have a 10% Spell Resistance for all spell fields, so

The second classification of side quests are character side quests. These
side quests are mainly centered around one of your companions. Some of these
quests give you the chance to recruit the characters into your group, while
others are designed to flesh out the companions and complete their
storylines.
Not all of these side quests are centered around your companions. Some of
these quests involve other characters in the game, such as Neehi or the two

for him. He's looking for an acquaintance in Northern Kor. Northern Kor is
north of Dhun-Kor, so make your way over there and search the area. You

Red Mana and convert it to Blue Mana for them. Also, if they have 30 Blue
Mana, they can use their Spectral Force skill, which can make your miss a

Darkhunter cannot find his acquaintance. Since there is nothing else to do,
your quest is complete.

More of Darkhunter's past is coming out. Darkhunter needs to go to
Maethelburg, the place where he is not allowed at, to talk to Lord
Greythane. Even though he isn't talking about his past still, something is
bound to come out. Anyways, make your way over to Maethelburg. Lord
Greythane is not exactly welcoming of Darkhunter and asks Darkhunter to
leave. Darkhunter refuses and still wants to talk, but Lord Greythane is
beyond talking and sends a Knight to attack you. The Knight has the skill
Divine Right and Thrust, neither of which is anything to worry about, so
this shouldn't be too hard of a battle. When the Knight is defeated,
Darkhunter decides to leave, still refusing to provide any information about
this person named Liandra. Once again, a quest for Darkhunter ends in
failure.

with the old acquaintance. The meeting place is an area called Sartek's
Maze, which is west of Tusk. When you get there, wait for the meeting. You
will see that Liandra will appear and have a pleasant conversation with
Darkhunter. By pleasant, I mean unexpectedly twisted. Liandra has turned
undead and has a new master who wants Darkhunter to become undead as well.
Darkhunter refuses and Liandra promises to meet up with Darkhunter again.
Now Darkhunter's story has gotten a little bit more interesting.

Requirements: Have Darkhunter in your party and complete the Story Quest
Northern Tundra and the Side Quest Liandra's Offer
Info: Darkhunter has received another summons to meet with Liandra. You
must accompany him once again.
Places Unlocked: Skullguard Keep
Completion:
Liandra isn't finished with Darkhunter yet. She says she wants to return to
Darkhunter, but you and Darkhunter know better. She wants to bring
Darkhunter to the Undead side. You will need to hide while Darkhunter talks
to Liandra alone. The meeting place is Skullguard Keep, which is north of
Ylarie. Make your way over to there and meet with Liandra. Of course, it's
a trap and of course, Liandra underestimated Darkhunter. You jump out and
attack Liandra to assist Darkhunter.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Boss Battle: Liandra |
| |
| Info: Like an Arkliche, she has the Death Gaze and the Soul Swap spells |
| along with a high Fire Resistance. She also has the ability to cast |
| Charm and Chaos Bolt. |
| |
| Equipment: |
| Helmet and Crowns: Noble Helm |
| Adds +4 to your Morale Skill |
| Armor: Death Shroud |
| Creates a +5 Skull for every 8 points of damage that you take (max |
| 3 per turn) |
| Weapon: Arkliche Staff |
| Reduces the enemy's Experience Points by 2 for every point of |
| damage you do |
| Miscellaneous: Arkliche Ring |
| Generates a point of each color Mana for every 3 points of |
| Experience you receive |
| |
| Skills: |
| Death Gaze |
| Does damage equal to half of enemy's current Life Points. |
| Randomly creates a Skull for every 5 damage done |
| Soul Swap |
| Swaps Mana Reserves with your enemy. Does not end your turn |
| Charm |
| All Skulls in play are destroyed. Adds +1 to Life Points for |
| every Skull destroyed |
| Chaos Bolt |
| Does damage equal to the Mana of a random Mana Reserve. The |
| respective Mana Reserve is reduced to zero |
| |
| Tips: |
| Liandra is quite the formidable foe. Darkhunter knows how to pick |
| his women well. The Death Gaze spell cuts your Life Points in half, |
| which means it won't kill you, but it is a nice opening move to set |
| set you up for death. The Soul Swap is there just in case you think |
| you think you are doing better than she is. The Charm spell will |
| heal herself while the Chaos Bolt just gives her another way to kill |
| you. She also has a 25% Fire Resistance, which means that your Red |
| Mana spells won't be working a fourth of the time. Finally, her |
| her equipment allows her to be all shades of annoying. Her weapon |
| will drain your hard earned Experience points, although luckily, it |
| doesn't take too much of it away. Her Death Shroud will cause random |
| +5 Skulls to appear on the board. If anything, the only good thing |
| about Liandra is that she is Undead, which allows Darkhunter to pop |
| her for ten Life Points at the start of the battle. At least he is |
| doing something before letting you deal with his girlfriend. You |
| really should know better than to get into the middle of disputes |
| between a man and his dead girlfriend. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Darkhunter tells you that finally, Liandra can rest in peace. There's just
one more thing left to do in regards to Liandra.
Reward: +150 Experience

home in Maethelburg.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Darkhunter must now deal with the final task left involving his fallen love.
He must take her ashes to her home land in Maethelburg. Lord Greythane
probably won't be very happy to see Darkhunter and to hear the news of his
daughter, but this is something that must be done. The journey will be long
and there will be a bunch of random monsters in the way. When you reach
Maethelburg, Lord Greythane will first attempt to kick you and Darkhunter
out of the Red Tower. However, Darkhunter returns the ashes of Liandra to
Lord Greythane. Lord Greythane tells Darkhunter that he should be cursed
forever and Darkhunter agrees.

Great Machine. What the Great Machine does, no one knows, but Khalkus wants
it badly, so help him out and head to Gork to get that part of the Great
Machine. Make your way north to Gork and battle the Ogre Mage. Ogre Mages,
when attacked, will cause a +5 Skull to appear at random. They can also
create Wildcards on the field, so also watch out for that. When you have
defeated the Ogre Mage, you will have found the part of the Great Machine,
which apparently is just a metal gear. Of course, Khalkus thinks this is
the greatest thing since the dawn of creation, so as long as he is happy and
quiet, the rest of the world should be happy.

Info: You must help Khalkus find the second part of the Great Machine.
Places Unlocked: None

Khalkus is going crazy over finding parts for his Great Machine. The second
gear can be found in Alfland and is being held by a Centaur. Apparently,
curiosity is getting the better of you, so make your way over to Alfland and
confront the Centaur about the Gear. He won't give it to you without a
fight, so you might as well fight him. He is a regular Centaur, which means
he has the Archery skill, which deals damage to you based on your Yellow
Mana. The more you have, the more damage you will take. When you have
defeated the Centaur, you will have the second gear, which turns out just to
be another metal cog. Of course, Khalkus is just going crazy over it, so
let him have his moment with his gear and move on.

Horns of Sartek and the Side Quest Second Gear
Info: You must help Khalkus find the third piece of the Great Machine.
Places Unlocked: Worm Cave (disappears eventually)
Completion:
Apparently, Khalkus has built a device that can locate pieces of the Great
Machine. The detector has picked up a piece that is located in the a Worm
Cave. Of course, with it being a Worm Cave, it means that there is a Worm
in there. The Worm you are fighting is the Sandworm. Sandworms are nasty
in the fact that they can use Sinkhole with will halve all of your Mana
Reserves except for your Green Mana, which gets added on to the Sandworm's
Green Mana Reserves. This just sets up the Swallow Whole skill, which deals
damage to you based on their Green Mana. Furthermore, they can use the Hide
skill, which when Hidden, an enemy will deal double damage. The only way to
get rid of the Hidden status effect is by hitting the enemy. When the
Sandworm is defeated, you will find the third piece of the Great Machine.
This time, it is more than just a cog. Finally, something impressive is
starting to build up.

Completion:
Khalkus' device is going off again and this time, it seems like it's a big
piece of the machine. The detector is detecting the gear is at a Minotaur's
Arena south of Tusk. Khalkus thinks he can buy the gear from the Minotaur,
but you probably know better than that. Make your way to Arik's Arena and
face off with the Minotaur King. Minotaur Kings are the same as Minotaurs
except they are stronger with more Life Points and have the Berserk Rage
spell, which can turn Red Gems into Skulls. When you have defeated the
Minotaur King, according to Minotaur law, the strongest takes whatever he
wants from the loser. In this case, you want the Fourth Gear of the Great
Machine.

Location: Ehlariel
Requirements: Have Khalkus in your party and have completed the Side Quests
Elven Forge and Fourth Gear
Info: You must help Khalkus find the fifth piece of the Great Machine.
Places Unlocked:
Completion:
Khalkus has detected the last piece of the Great Machine. It is in a castle
to the north that is owned by Dark Dwarves. The castle is named Kal-Unger.
Here, you will need to fight a Dark Dwarf to get the fifth gear. Dark
Dwarves are not about power. They are more about cunning and using various
methods to annoy you while dealing damage to you. Dark Dwarves can
Duplicate an item you own and equip it to themselves. Granted, they are
already decked out in a full set of Full Plate Armor, but if you have
something they want, they can have it. Also, they can use the spell Fire
Bomb, which gives you the Fire Bomb status. If your Red Mana gets above 12
while you are under the Fire Bomb status, you will take five damage.
Finally, they can cast the spell Flame Cannon, which is like a powered up
version of Besiege that the Catapults use. Flame Cannon destroys four
random Gems, destroying everything around those Gems and providing the full
effect of all Gems destroyed. When the Dark Dwarf is defeated, Khalkus will
inform you that a piece is missing off of the final gear. The button that
turns on the Great Machine is missing. Looks like there is just one more
thing left to do before you find out what exactly the Great Machine does.

Requirements: Have Khalkus in your party and have completed the Side Quests
Fifth Gear
Info: You must finally help Khalkus put the Great Machine together.
Places Unlocked:
Completion:
You must find the button that starts up the Great Machine. Of course
Khalkus would rather talk about it than do something about it. Hunt for the
button in the city of Kal-Unger. Another Dark Dwarf has the button. This
Dark Dwarf is the same as the Dark Dwarf you fought for the fifth piece,
which means you have to deal with the spells Duplicate, Fire Bomb, and Flame
Cannon. When this Dark Dwarf is defeated, Khalkus almost has an orgasm
after finally realizing that he has assembled the Great Machine. What the
machine does is anyone's guess, so just start up the machine and hope it
works. Khalkus asks for an old item that you may have. You give him your
Broken Shield that was given to you by your father so long ago during the
first few quests. When the Great Machine is done with the Shield, the
Shield is better than new. Why can't you do that with all of your items?

trade you a magical hat for one, so it's time to find a Dragon Spider. The

obviously Troll. However, not just any Troll, but an Ice Troll, which
you've fought before for Neehi. Drong has been hanging around bad
influences again. Either way, this time he will offer to give you a magic
stick, which seems like it's a downgrade from the magic helm you received in
the past, but either way, it's time to find an Ice Troll. The Ice Troll can
be found in the Troll Hole, which is east of Alfland. Ice Trolls are just
like regular Trolls except for the fact that they have the Freeze spell.
Just like regular Trolls, if they have a lot of Blue Mana, they will begin
to use the spell Regeneration, which restores some of their life, which is
very annoying. When you manage to drain the life bar of the Ice Troll, take
the carcass back to Drong's Tower and present the feast to Drong to complete
your mission.

a Wyvern's poison will do the trick just nicely. Drong tells you that you
can find a Wyvern in the Wyvern's Roost and has a magical stone for you if
you get him the meat. The Wyvern's Roost is south of Blood Moon, so make
your way over there. Wyverns can poison you and can also use the Rend
spell, which deals direct damage to you and while allowing them to still
take their turn. When you have defeated the Wyvern, make your way over to

Drong has one more thing that he would like to eat...for now. What he wants
to eat an Ogre, which is really weird, considering the fact that he is an
Ogre himself and is surrounded by Ogres. Either way, he will give you his
magical hanky (which is probably very dirty) if you give him an Ogre to eat.
You should find lots of Ogres in Gork, so make your way over to there and
fight an Ogre. Of course, to feed Drongs appetite, you will have to defeat
a big Ogre. Big Ogres mean they are stronger and tougher to defeat. When
you have taken the big Ogre down, make your way back to Drong's Tower and
give him the Ogre. Apparently, Drong's hanky is a rare cloak, so take it
and move on with life.
Reward: Earthblood Cloak, +250 Gold

Info: Drong the Ogre would like you fetch him a serpent to eat, but not
just any serpent will do...
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Drong is still not full yet. He wants to eat a Sea Serpent. He has heard
they can be found at Drakenburg. It's a long trip over there and you will
probably run into all sorts of random monsters in your way. If you complete
the journey and get him the Sea Serpent, he has a surprise for you at the
end. Make your way over to Drakenburg, which is a very long trip. When you
finally reach Drakenburg, you will have to take on a Sea Serpent. Sea
Serpents can Spit Poison at you, which not only poisons you, but also blinds
you. When you have finally gotten the meat from the Sea Serpent, make the
long trip back to Drong's Tower. Again, you will probably end up facing
many random monsters along the way. When you finally reach the tower, Drong
will have his feast of Sea Serpent. When he is done, he will inform you
that his surprise is that he is joining you on your quest as one of your
companions. Apparently, he wants to eat many things in this world (and he
will, too), so you might as well just accept his companionship.

Info: You must find some Granite for Drong to eat.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Drong is all about eating everything and this time he has something weird he
wants to eat. Drong wants to eat a granite statue in the Valley of Kings.
On your way to the Valley of Kings, you will probably get stopped by a
Liche. Liches can randomly create +5 Skulls when you deal damage to them,
which can either be a good thing or a bad thing. It's a good thing if you
manage to get an extra turn and it's a bad thing if you don't. Also, the
Liche has the spell Death Gaze, which is kind of like the poor man's version
of the Warrior skill Deathbringer. When you make it to the Valley of Kings,
Drong will have already eaten the statue. How anyone can eat rock, I have
no clue.

Info: You must travel to the Volcano with Drong and help him find some
tasty Volcanic Rock. The Volcano is home to many Fire Elementals.
Places Unlocked: Volcano (disappears eventually)
Completion:
Before, Drong was big into eating the meat of various creatures. Now, it
seems like Drong has a taste for rocks. This time, the rock of choice is a
volcanic rock from the Volcano. Well, it's time to go back to the Volcano.
Of course, when you are on the Volcano, you are probably going to run into a
Fire Elemental. Fire Elementals have the Wall of Fire spell, which
redirects all damage you deal to the Fire Elemental to his Red Mana
Reserves. Also, they have the Fire Siphon skill, which can drain your Red
Mana and heal the Fire Elemental. Of course, you should be very well versed
in fighting one of these, since you've had to do so to advance in the story.
When the Fire Elemental is defeated, Drong will find some tasty volcanic
rock and be satisfied...for now...

Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Drong wants to eat another rock. This time, it's a sandstone. There is a
Sandstone at the beach of Tirianin. Unfortunately for you, it is being
guarded by a Sea Serpent. Well, you knew this wasn't just a quest to pick
up a rock on the beach. Sea Serpents can Spit Poison at you, which will
Poison you and Blind you at the same time. The Poison is bad enough, but
Blind prevents you from using any skills or spells. When the Sea Serpent is
defeated, you will obtain the sandstone, which Drong will eat. I wonder if
you can cook the rocks?

diamond? Drong can. Drong can eat anything. Make your way over to the
Lake of Blood and fight the Dark Dwarves for a diamond. Dark Dwarves can
Duplicate your equipment and use it against you. They can also inflict you
with the Fire Bomb status, which will deal damage to you if have too much
Red Mana. Finally, their Flame Cannon spell will randomly target four Gems
on the board and destroy them and all the Gems around it. Dark Dwarves,
luckily, are not very powerful, so if you can get past all the annoying
things they do, you can beat them pretty easily. When the Dark Dwarf is
defeated, Drong eats a diamond. He ends up breaking a tooth on one. Serves
him right. Some things are not meant to be eaten. Some things are meant to
be sold for lots of money.

Dragon and his lair is northwest of the Dragonrealm. Make your way to
Umbra's Lair and then search the area. You will not find a Dragon, but you
will find a cousin of the Dragon, the Wyvern, hiding in the lair. You will
have to fight the Wyvern. Wyverns can Poison you by attacking you. Also,
they have the Rend skill, which can deal direct damage to you while allowing
the Wyvern to continue his turn. Just use your strongest skills and spells
to defeat the Wyvern and this shouldn't be too tough of a battle. In the

Info: You must travel to the lair of the Frost Dragon, Chilblain, to see if
he is still there.
Places Unlocked: Chilbain's Lair
Completion:
You will need to search for a Dragon named Chilblain, who is a Frost Dragon.
The lair of Chilblain is northeast of the Dragonrealm. Make your way over
to Chilblain's Lair and politely enter (don't forget to knock). While you
are searching the lair for any signs of a dragon, you will end up running
into a Frost Giant. Frost Giants can use the Freeze Spell, which turns Red
Gems into Blue Gems. This allows their weapon, the Frostblade, and their
spell, Frostbite, to both do more damage to you. The Frostblade will add +1
damage for every 2 Blue Gems on the board, so be careful of this. The
Frostbite spell will get rid of the Blue Gems on the battlefield and deal
direct damage to you based on that. Try to keep the Blue Gems on the
battlefield to a minimum while you are fighting this opponent. Also, the
Frost Giant has the Stomp skill, which can stun you for a couple of turns.
When the Frost Giant is dispatched of, you will find no signs of a Dragon,
but you will find some of the Dragon's treasure horde. I'm sure the Dragon
won't mind you taking it.

of the Dragons or any clues on where the Dragons have gone. Morass's Lair
is southeast of the Dragonrealm, so make your way over to there. When you
search the lair, you will end up running into a creature called the Medusa.
Medusa can not only inflict Poison on you, but they can also Petrify you,
causing you to miss two turns. Missing turns is a bad thing, so you will
want to try to avoid that. Also, Medusas can turn Green Gems into Skulls,
so try to make sure that there aren't too many Green Gems on the board.
When you have defeated the ugly creature, you will not find any signs of the
Dragons, but you will find some leftover treasure. It's a nice consolation
prize.

Info: You must continue hunting around the Dragonrealm, searching for
anything that might be a clue as to the Dragons' whereabouts.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Flicker tells you that you have to keep searching. While you don't agree
with the fruitless search, you might as well try since you have nothing
better to do right now, so you might as well look at all three lairs again.
Make your way to Umbra's Lair first. You will find a Minotaur here.
Minotaurs can destroy an entire row of gems and also wield Great Axes, which
gives them a chance to take an extra turn whenever they deal damage to you.
When the Minotaur is defeated, you will find Minotaur tracks leading from
the lair into the mountains. At Chilblain's Lair, you will find tracks of a
large machine there. At Morass' Lair, you will find a cog that belongs to a
machine. When you are done searching, make your way back to the Dragonrealm
and find Flicker. He will end up getting attacked by another Minotaur.
It's just like the first battle with the Minotaur, so just use the same
attacking method. When the Minotaur is defeated, you and Flicker will come
to the conclusion that the kidnapping of the Dragons is related to the
kidnapping of the Humans, so you will need to find a way north to
investigate further. Flicker will join you in your quest to find out what
is going on.

them.
Places Unlocked: Dark Stable (disappears eventually)
Completion:
Flicker and Elistara will have a conversation about the lost Dragons.
Flicker was able to sneak into the cave of an Undead Dragon and found Dragon
tracks there. Flicker thinks that is where the Dragons are being held
captive. Of course, the two of them want to go and find the clues for that.
Make your way over to the Dark Stable, which is northwest of Bane's Citadel.
When you get there, enter the cave. You will come face to face with an
Undead Dragon. You've fought one of these before to get Elistara in your
party. The biggest problem with Undead Dragons are their Breathe Plague
spell, which will really ruin your day. Not only does it deal direct damage
to you, it also gives you the Disease status for 20 turns. That is a lot of
turns to be losing Mana. Other than that, they have the normal array of
Dragon spells, like the Wing Buffet spell, the Tail Whip skill, and the
Channel Air spell. When you take down the Undead Dragon, you manage to
release the Dragons that were held captive in the cave. Unfortunately,
Flicker's mother is not in the cave with them. Flicker decides to ask
Elistara if he can be her new mount, which she responds with yes.

Kal-Unger as a prisoner of the Dark Dwarves. She is apparently working as a
slave for them, so you must go over there and free her. Make your way over
to Kal-Unger and fight the Dark Dwarves for the right to Flicker's mom. You
should know by now that Dark Dwarves rely on annoying you rather than
overpowering you. Their Duplicate, Fire Bomb, and Flame Cannon spells are
all designed to damage and annoy you indirectly. When the Dark Dwarf is
defeated, Flicker is finally reunited with his mother. While his mother
doesn't approve of him being a mount of a Dragonrider, she respects his
decision to do so. Now that's a caring mother.

Requirements: Have Sunspear in your party and have completed the Side Quest
Brotherly Love
Info: Sunspear wishes to talk with you about battling a Frost Giant.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Sunspear is worried about his age and wishes to find a worthy opponent to
die in battle to, which is according to Minotaur tradition. This is called
the Age of Honor, which is when Minotaurs refuse to die to old age, but in
glorious fashion in battle. Sunspear thinks that a Frost Giant may be a
worthy opponent, so he wishes you to fight one to see if it is a worthy
opponent to die to. Sunspear says that the Frost Giant can be found at the
Giants' Walk. You should be well aquatinted with a Frost Giant by now,
since you should have battled one a couple of times dealing with Jarl and
Jotun. Frost Giants can cast Freeze, which turns all Red Gems to Blue Gems.
This will power up their direct damage spell, Frostbite, and their weapon,
Frostblade. Frostblade deals more damage when there are more Blue Gems on
the board. When you have defeated the Frost Giant, Sunspear will inform you
that maybe a Frost Giant isn't a good opponent to fall to. He cannot be
convinced from his chosen path, so you might as well just wait to find
another foe.

Completion:
Sunspear wants to see how an Arboleth fights to see if he wants to make one
of those his final foe. An Arboleth can be found at the Bonebridge. Make
your way to the Bonebridge and start fighting the Arboleth. You should have
fought a couple of these by now, so you should know how to deal with these
creatures. Just remember that Arboleths have high spell resistance across
the board, so you must be careful that your spells may be resisted. After
you defeat the Arboleth, Sunspear will inform you that the Arboleth would
not be his final opponent because if the Arboleth defeats Sunspear, the
Arboleth would absorb Sunspear's body and therefore, he would become part of
that creature. So the search continues for a strong opponent.

to fight one of Ragnar's children. If you do that, Ragnar will surely
appear and Sunspear can have his final battle. To find one of Ragnar's
children, you must head over to Ragnar's coast. You will end up fighting a
Frost Dragon. Frost Dragons are fearsome foes. They can deal massive
damage to you with their Breathe Ice attack, which they can power up with
their Channel Water spell Also, they can stun you with their Wing Buffet
Spell. If that wasn't enough, they have another spell that deals direct
damage to you, Tail Whip. Plus, they have 20% Water Resistance to try to
stop any spells you use that contain Water Mana. Powerful foes indeed. If
this is just the child, the daddy must be very powerful. When the Frost
Dragon is defeated, Sunspear will tell you to leave and then return after
one week. You agree and leave Sunspear to fight Ragnar. You will have to
travel until the time in the game passes over one week. When that happens,
there will be swirling stars at Ragnar's Coast. Make your way back to
Ragnar's Coast and return for Sunspear. Sunspear will be all ghostly, but
he will not be Undead. It will simply be his spirit that has returned to
continue to guide you on your journey. Sunspear's Spirit returns and joins
as a companion.

asking for help. You must travel to Enmouth to help Serephine's friend.
Places Unlocked:
Completion:
Princess Serephine apparently received word from one of her friends that she
is in trouble and needs help. Of course, whenever Princess Serephine wants
or needs something, she turns on the charm and flattery to max. You will
need to travel to Enmouth and see what is going on there. There won't be
any swirling stars at Enmouth, but when you do reach Enmouth, you will get
ambushed by Imperial Guards waiting on the return of Princess Serephine.
They will kidnap Princess Serephine under the orders of her father, the
Emperor of Enmouth, who is trying to force the wedding with the Trarg to
continue. Apparently her father is a more despicable human being that he
first exhibited, so the only way to make people like that learn that he
can't have his way all the time is to make sure he doesn't get his way.
First off, you will need to fight off the Imperial Guard he summons to kill
you. Imperial Guards are very well equipped and well armored. Their
Halberd is designed to finish you off if you get close to death. Their
skill Reinforcements will destroy all Gold Coins on the board and heal their
life total based on the amount of Coins destroyed. Also, they have the
Thrust skill, which will destroy one Gem on the board. They will normally
only use this skill on +5 Skulls, which is the smart thing to do. When the
Imperial Guard is defeated, you will find out that Princess Serephine is
gone. The Imperial Guards have taken her somewhere and you do not know
where, although you should have a sneaking suspicion.

want to become involved in. Princess Serephine is currently at The Trarg,
which means you must first travel south. Both paths should be blocked off
by Wolves, so you will have to defeat one of them. Wolves have the Rabid
Bite skill, which inflicts the Disease status on you. Disease can drain
your Mana every turn you take, so it can be an annoying status. Try to
defeat the Wolf quickly to avoid losing your Mana that you have saved up.
When the Wolf is defeated, the path to The Trarg is open. Make your way to
The Trarg and rescue the Princess. You will have to defeat an Imperial
Guard first. This Imperial Guard is the same as the one you fought before,
with the good armor and the Reinforcement and Thrust skills. When that

eventually get jumped by an Imperial Guard. Imperial Guards are well
armored and have the spells Thrust and Reinforcements. Reinforcements is a
healing spell, which can be annoying. However, other than that and high
Battle and Life Points, this should be a straightforward battle. When the
first Imperial Guard defeated, you will have to defeat another Imperial
Guard somewhere along the coastline. When that Imperial Guard is defeated,
that should be all that is guarding the coastline. Unfortunately, the
Emperor of Selentia is persistence. Princess Serephine wants to throw him
off the top of a very tall tower, but unfortunately, that's frowned upon in
society.

Places Unlocked:
Completion:
You find a Gnoll hiding in a hole. Apparently, instead of suspecting you as
one of his enemies and shanking you, he decides to ask for your help. He
tells you that evil men are after him at The Pike. You decide to help the
paranoid crazy Gnoll. Make your way over to The Pike. If you have Princess
Serephine in your party, she will inform you that the man chasing after the
Gnoll is an assassin from the Selentine Empire, which is the empire Enmouth
is in and where Princess Serephine is from. Fight the stranger, who happens
to be a Thief. Thieves can Steal your Gold from you and use the Sneak
Attack skill, which deals damage to you and allows them to continue their
turn. Thieves don't seem hard to beat at first, but when they start using
Sneak Attack three times a turn, then things can get rough. When the Thief
is defeated, make your way back to Hyaan and talk to the psycho Gnoll. He
decides that you are his best friend and that he will pay you 1000 Gold for
helping him out. Also, his name is Patch and he took things from the

Patch tells you that there are three more Assassins out to get him. Patch
offers to pay you another 1000 Gold for helping him out. Good friends like
him are hard to find. The first Assassin can be found in Tusk. The
Assassin is a Thief, which means he's the same as the person you fought the
first time for Patch. You only need to watch out really for his Sneak
Attack skill. When that Thief is defeated, make your way south to Alfland.
This is where the second Thief is located at. He is the same as the first
two Thieves you've dealt with. The final Thief can be located at Dhun-Kor.

Side Quest: Wolf Pack
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Ylarie
Requirements: Have completed the Story Quest Northern Tundra
Info: A pack of wolves have been terrorizing the Elves at Tirianin. You
must chase the wolves away.
Places Unlocked: Iceguard Keep, Tirianin
Completion:
West of Ylarie is a port belonging to the High Elves. That port is the city
of Tirianin. Recently, a bunch of Wolves have appeared and decided they
want to terrorize the city. Make your way over to Tirianin and fight the
Wolf. This is a normal Wolf, which means you must watch out for Disease
from its Rabid Bite and Fear from its Howl. Disease is worse than Fear
because Disease can drain your Mana Reserves, which can prevent you from
using your spells. After the Wolf is defeated, he will question why you
attacked him. Because the game said you had to? This Wolf is apparently a
Winter Wolf, which means it can talk. The Wolves used to live in the
northern areas, but ever since a bunch of creatures drove them out, they had
to come south to look for food. You agree to help the Wolf get rid of the
creatures. However, you can either choose to chase away the Wolves from the
city of Tirianin or you can go north to Iceguard Keep and attack the
creature there. If you choose to head north, then you will have to fight
off the creature. The creature just happens to be a Doomknight.
Doomknights have a few ways of killing you. They can use the Burial spell,
which will increase the number of Green Gems on the board. With their Green
Mana, the Doomknight can either deal direct damage to you by using their
Sword of Bane spell or they can hit you for higher damage using their Unholy
Lance. Finally, they have the Wake the Dead spell, which will turn Skulls
on the field into +5 Skulls. When the Doomknight is defeated, Winter will
thank you for helping him and his pack reclaim his home.
Reward: +200 Experience, +200 Gold

Side Quest: Lost Cubs

Location: Ylarie
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Wolf Pack without driving away
the Wolves during that quest
Info: You must rescue the wolf cubs from being sacrificed by the
Doomknight.
Places Unlocked: Dragon Shrine (disappears eventually)
Completion:
After saving Winter's home, you'd think that would be the end of it.
Unfortunately, Winter once again comes to ask you for a favor. Apparently,
the Doomknights returned and took two of Winter's cubs with them. The cubs
were taken to a Dragon Shrine, which is west of Iceguard Keep. When you
reach the Shrine, you will have to fight the Doomknight. You should have
already fought two of these before, so this fight should be nothing new.
When the Doomknight is defeated, return back to Ylarie and return the cubs
to Winter. Apparently, Winter is going to name one of the cubs after your
wolf name, which is Deathstalker. Has a nice ring to it.
Reward: +200 Experience, +200 Gold

Location: Ylarie
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quests Lots Cubs and The Banesguard
Info: You must bless the homeland of the wolves. To do this, you must
first obtain the Elvenstone from Queen Ehlanna.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Winter needs your help again. The creatures are once again approaching the
Wolves' land. To stop them from entering their lands, you want to use the
same spell protecting the Elven lands to protect the Wolves' land. Since
Queen Ehlanna likes you, you think she wouldn't mind. Make your way over to
Ehlariel and talk to Queen Ehlanna. Queen Ehlanna will give you a stone
that will protect the land of the Wolves for a short period of time. When
you leave Ehlariel, a Doomknight will be blocking your way. Doomknights
should be a familiar foe by now. They can use the Burial spell to increase
the Green Mana on the field. More Green Mana means their Sword of Bane
spell and the damage from their Unholy Lance will be more powerful. When
the Doomknight is defeated, make your way over to Ylarie. When you give the
Elvenstone to Winter, he will decide that he wants to join you as a
companion to help stop the Undead problem.

Side Quest: Bloodstone
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Ylarie
Requirements: Have completed the Story Quest The Future
Info: You must search for signs of Elistara's lost dragon, Crystal, at the
Bloodstone.
Places Unlocked: Bloodstone
Completion:
Elistara asks you to help her find her dragon, Crystal. Crystal was lost
during a battle with Lord Bane's enemies. Elistara wants you to help you.
Bloodstone is northeast of Skullguard Keep, so make your way over to there
and search for any clues of Elistara's lost Dragon. While searching for the
Dragon, you will get jumped by an Arboleth. You should have fought an
Arboleth, so just do the same thing you've done in the past. Just remember,
Arboleths have 10% spell resistance across the board, so it might be hard to
hit the creature with a spell. When the Arboleth is defeated, you will not
be able to find any signs of the dragon. Return back to Elistara and report
to her what has happened.

Side Quest: Dragontracks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Ylarie
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Bloodstone
Info: You must continue your search through the Realms of Death for
Elistara's lost Dragon.
Places Unlocked: Bane's Citadel
Completion:
Elistara still wants to find her Dragon. She gives you information that may
help you with your search. You decide to search around Skullguard Keep for
the lost Dragon. There will be no signs at Skullguard Keep, so head north
to the Bonebridge. Again, there will be nothing there. However, you will
find Bane's Citadel off in the distance. Make your way over there and
search for the Dragon. Lord Bane will appear to you personally and inform
you of what happened to Crystal. He has turned Crystal into an Undead
Dragon. Undead Dragons may just be the strongest form of Dragons out there.
Their Breathe Plague spell is downright nasty. Not only does it deal direct
damage equal to the Dragon's Yellow Mana, but it will also inflict the
Disease status effect for 20 turns. Disease will slowly drain your Mana
Reserves, which will severely limit what you can and cannot do. Combine
this with their high Air Resistance, their Wing Buffet spell, which can stun
you, their Tail Whip spell, which is another form of direct damage, and
their Channel Air spell, which will increase the power of their Breathe
Plague spell, and you have a very powerful foe on your hands. Try to defeat
the Undead Dragon as quickly as possible and before he can hit you with the
Breathe Plague spell. When the Undead Dragon is defeated, you will have to
return to Elistara with the unfortunate news. If Elistara wasn't determined
to beat down Lord Bane before, she is now.

Side Quest: Dragontracks Complete!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Side Quest: Condolences
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Ylarie
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Dragontracks
Info: You must accompany Elistara to the Realm of Dragons.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Elistara now has a duty to return to the Dragonrealm and inform the parents
of Crystal her passing. Unfortunately for her, there is only one Dragon
left in the Dragonrealm and that Dragon isn't very friendly. Still,
Elistara wants to go see Kelthurax and inform him of Crystal's demise. It's
her funeral, so make your way back to the Dragonrealm. It will be a long
journey and there will probably be lots of random monsters in your way.
When you finally reach the Dragonrealm, you will find that the Dragons are
still missing, but standing at the entrance to the Dragonrealm is an Iron
Golem. Iron Golems can gain Green Mana every time you damage them. Then,
they can turn around and use this Green Mana to cast a spell called Iron
Strike. Iron Strike is a very powerful spell that will cause all Green Gems
on the board to explode. When the Green Gems explode, they take out the
surrounding Gems and the Iron Golem gets the effects of all the Gems
destroyed. In other words, if there is a lot of Green Gems on the board,
the Iron Golem can get all the Mana on the board while you eat all the
damage. Luckily, the Iron Strike spell takes up a lot of Mana to cast, so
you should be able to down the big fellow before he gets enough Mana to cast
the spell. When the Iron Golem falls, Elistara makes the unwise move of
waking up Kelthurax. After telling Kelthurax about Crystal, Elistara
decides to try to make Kelthurax her mount. Bad move, but somehow,
Kelthurax lets Elistara leave with all of her body parts in tact. Lucky
her. After Kelthurax tells Elistara to scram, Elistara becomes your
companion.

spell components.
Places Unlocked: Troll Hole (disappears eventually), Wasp Hive
Completion:
Neehi is a Goblin Trader that requires some spell components. He needs some
Wasp Wings and Ice Troll Hair. The Wasp Wings can be found at the Wasp Hive
and the Ice Troll Hair can be found in the Troll Hole (makes sense). Of
course, you aren't just going to be given both of these items from their
respective creatures. Instead, you will have to kill these creatures and
obtain the spoils from the dead bodies. First, get the Wasp Wings. The
Wasp Hive can be found east of White Skull. When you get there, enter the
hive. Giant Wasps have an 80% chance of Poisoning you when they attack, so
be careful of that. When you have defeated the Giant Wasp, it is time to
get some hair from an Ice Troll. The Ice Troll can be found inside of a
Troll Hole, which is north of Theira and east of Alfland. The Ice Troll is
just a version of the regular Troll except they have the Freeze spell, which
you shouldn't worry about too much. Just treat this as a regular battle
against a Troll, which means don't let them get too much Blue Mana or they
will Regenerate most of their health back. When the Ice Troll is defeated,
make your way back to Gruuldok and receive your reward. Neehi will offer to
give you more quests in the future.

Soultree. Simply make your way over to Theira and get the Theiran Axe-head
and then make your way over to Silvermyr and get the Soultree Limb. There
is nothing to fight other than the random monsters in your path. When you

Neehi will pay you for Wasp Stingers. The Wasps can be found at the Wasp
Hive. Just maybe if you ask nicely into the mic on your DS, the Giant Wasps
will give you his stinger for free, but odds are, you will have to kill them
and then take it off of their dead corpses. Giant Wasps can poison you by
just dealing damage, so try to avoid getting hit by them. When you have the
Giant Wasp Stinger, make your way back to Gruuldok and give the stinger to
Neehi. He will reward you.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 6l. Jarl and Jotun Side Quests
PQUCHJAR \_______________________________________________________
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Side Quest: The Invitations
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Tusk
Requirements: Have completed the Story Quest Horns of Sartek
Info: You must deliver an invitation to two Giants, Jarl and Jotun. They
have been invited to attend a tournament in Tusk.
Places Unlocked: Blackhoof, Giant's Walk, Jarl's Keep, Jotun's Keep
Completion:
You will have to send invitations personally to Jarl and Jotun. They both
preside over their own keeps, which you can take over and gain money from.
Jarl is a Frost Giant and Jotun is a Fire Giant, which means they are very
temperamental and hard to deal with. Furthermore, their keeps are defended
by another giant. Make your way over to Jotun's Keep first and defeat the
Fire Giant that is in front of it. Fire Giants can use the skill
Conflagration to increase the number of Red Gems on the board. Once that
happens, their weapon, the Flameblade, can deal more damage to you and their
spell, Rain of Fire, can deal more direct damage to you. Also, they have
the Stomp! skill, which can stun you for a couple of turns. Finally, they
have decent stats and a 30% Fire Resistance. When you defeated the Fire
Giant, deliver the invitation to Jotun. Now, make your way over to Jarl's
Keep next. Don't expect things to get any easier when dealing with the
Frost Giant. It's almost the same thing as the Fire Giant. Instead of the
spells Conflagration and Rain of Fire, it's the spells Freeze and Frostbite
and instead of the Flameblade, it's a Frostblade. Finally, they have 30%
Water Resistance instead of 30% Fire Resistance. Just do the same thing you
did with the Fire Giant with this Giant. If you are having problems
defeating either of the two Giants, you may want to hold off until later to
complete this quest, as the quests that will follow this one will involve
much of the same. When the Frost Giant is defeated, deliver the invitation
to Jarl and head back to Tusk. You will receive your reward.

Info: Jotun the Fire Giant has stolen Jarl's Hammer. You must take it back
and return it to its rightful owner.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Jarl is looking for his Hammer and he knows who took it. Apparently, Jotun
the Fire Giant, his rival, has stolen Jarl's Hammer and he wants it back.
He has recruited you to get it for him. This will begin the long process of
stealing and retrieving and fighting Giants. Make your way over to Jotun'
Keep and knock on Jotun's Door. Jotun won't just hand you the Hammer.
Instead, he will fight you to keep the Hammer and use the Hammer against
you. You should know what Fire Giants do by now. They have the
Conflagration spell, which turns gems of a selected type to Red Gems. This
will power up their Rain of Fire direct damage spell. However, because
Jotun is using Jarl's Hammer against you, he will not be wielding a
Flameblade. Jarl's Hammer deals damage to you whenever Jotun gets Blue
Mana, so he will be damaging you this way also. When the Fire Giant is
bested, you will have taken Jarl's Hammer. Return to Jarl's Keep and return
the hammer to its owner.

return it.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Apparently, Jotun took Jarl's Hammer because Jarl took Jotun's Helm. Well,
it's time to make a trip over to Jarl's Keep and to get back the helm. Jarl
is a Frost Giant, which means you will have to deal with the Freeze spell,
which turns Red Gems into Blue Gems. This goes well with their Frostbite
spell, which deals damage to you based on the Blue Gems on the board. He
also has the Stomp! skill, which will stun you for a turn. Finally, Jarl is
equipped with Jotun's Helm and Boots, along with his own Hammer. Other than
the equipment, Jarl is just a normal Frost Giant. When Jarl is defeated,
make your way back to Jotun's Keep and return the Helm.

Side Quest: Brotherly Love
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Jarl's Keep
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Jotun's Boots
Info: You must try to put an end to Jarl and Jotun stealing each others'
things.
Places Unlocked: Weret
Completion:
This has got to stop. Otherwise, you'd never get on with the story. First,
talk to Jarl about getting the brothers to stop stealing things from each
other. Jarl will inform you that if Jotun signs an agreement on Griffonskin
parchment, Jarl will agree to stop the feud. He will tell you that you can
find some Griffonskin parchment from a merchant in Kor. Make your way over
to Jotun's Keep and talk to him now. Jotun says he will agree to a cease
fire if Jarl signs the agreement in Medusa's Blood. Apparently, you can
find a Medusa outside of the village of Weret. You tell both Jarl and Jotun
that the agreement point will be at the Giant's Walk. First, make your way
over to Weret and find the Medusa. Medusas can cast the Petrify spell,
which stuns you. Also, they can Poison you with their attacks and turn
Green Gems into Skulls with their Stone Gaze skill. When the Medusa is
defeated, you will find the blood from the Medusa. Now, it's time to get
the Griffonskin parchment. You can find the merchant in question in
Gruuldok. The path to Gruuldok is probably filled with lots of random
creatures, so it might take a while to get to Gruuldok. When you reach
Gruuldok, Neehi is the merchant in question. He will give you the parchment

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 8. Companions
PQUCOMPA \_______________________________________________________
Throughout the game, you will come across various people with various
personalities. Helping these people will gain their respect and cause them
to want to join your party. At the start of a battle, if the right
conditions are met, your companions will increase your abilities or decrease
your opponent's abilities or Life Points, giving you the edge in the battle.
There are nine companions in all (ten if you count Sunspear's two modes), but
you can only have eight in your party, which means at the end, you will have
to make a choice of who you want in your party.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 9. Structures
PQUSTRUC \_______________________________________________________
Structures are buildings you can build inside of your citadel. Your citadel
is very important, as it allows you to gain skills, forge new items, and
improve your skills. You will want to focus on building all the structures
inside of your citadel as soon as possible, as you will notice the benefits
of having a completed citadel immediately.
Dungeon:
Cost: 250 Gold
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Dungeon allows you to capture enemies and ride captured mounts.
To capture an enemy, you must have defeated them in battle three times
beforehand. The fourth time you fight the enemy, along with fighting
the enemy and canceling the battle, you will be given the option to
capture the enemy. You will be given a puzzle that you will need to
solve. To solve the puzzle, you must clear the board of all gems.
Zaraf has created Monster Capture Solutions on GameFAQs, which can help
you capture the monsters.
Mage Tower:
Cost: 400
Prerequisites: Dungeon
Effect: A Mage Tower allows you to learn spells from captured enemies.
This will unlock the Research Spells option. More on this option can
be found in Chapter 10 of this guide.
Stable:
Cost: 500
Prerequisites: Dungeon
Effect: A Stable allows you to train mounts and increase their
effectiveness in combat. This will unlock the Train Mounts option.
More on this option can be found in Chapter 11 of this guide.
Forge:
Cost: 600
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Forge allows you to create new magic items. This will unlock
the Forge Items option. More on this option can be found in Chapter 12
of this guide.
Siege Workshop:
Cost: 800
Prerequisites: Forge
Effect: A Siege Workshop allows you to attack and capture other cities on
the map. A captured city allows you to access your citadel from that
city, along with gaining gold every month when you pass through the
city. More on this option can be found in Chapter 13 of this guide.
Temple:
Cost: 1000
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Temple allows you to improve your Hero's skills. This will
unlock the Improve Skills option. To do so, you must donate money to
the temple, which requires gold. The higher your skill is, the more
money it costs to raise it up one point.
Towers:
Cost: 1250
Prerequisites: None
Effect: Towers reduce the chance of rebellion in your captured cities by
50%. If a city rebels, you will be unable to do anything in that city
until you re-siege the city and capture it back. With a Tower, your
cities will hardly ever rebel.
Vault:
Cost: 1500
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Vault increases Gold income from captured cities by 50%
Statues:
Cost: 2500
Prerequisites: None
Effect: Statues grant you a special award - King or Queen - which
improves your Morale by +5. This should be the last structure you
should focus on getting, since it costs the most and really doesn't
affect you that much.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 10. Research Spells
PQURESEA \_______________________________________________________
When you have a Dungeon and a Mage Tower, you will gain the ability to
research spells learned from captured enemies. To capture an enemy, you must
have defeated them three times. On the fourth time, you will be given the
option to capture them. You must then solve a puzzle in which you need to
eliminate every gem on the board. If you do not, you will have to try again.
To solve these puzzles, you can use Zaraf's Monster Capture guides on
GameFAQs. I personally have tried every one of these and think that the
guides are really well done. When you have captured an enemy, you will be
able to use the Research Spell option inside of your citadel to gain the
spell and add it to your list of spells. When you are researching a spell,
you will go to your familiar battle grid. However, you will not be facing an
opponent. Instead, you will be simply trying to clear a certain amount of
Gems and Scrolls. There are special rules involving this game. They are
found on the top screen, but I have also listed them here.
4-of-a-kind: Gives double points and generates a scroll.
5-0f-a-kind: Gives triple points and generates two scrolls.
Heroic Effort: On a cascade of five or higher, the board is cleared of
Purple Stars, Gold Coins, and Skulls.
Special: If you complete a category, it clears the board of matching gems.
Defeat: You lose if there are no moves left.
The only way you lose is if there are no moves left. However, the longer you
take, the more inclined the game is to not help you. Also, scrolls will not
randomly appear. They only appear if you get a four or five of a kind.
Therefore, you want to focus on getting the scrolls first. Also, another
thing you want to focus on is getting the highest number of gems.
There are four levels of spells you can obtain. There is Easy, Moderate,
Hard, and Very Hard. Obviously, Very Hard spells can take a long time to get
and you will probably end up failing more times than not. Also, they have
the highest Gem and Scroll totals to get rid of.
I have separated the spells in this section by their difficulty. I have also
listed what monster you need to capture for that spell and the Gems and
Scrolls you need to clear in order to obtain the spell.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 11. Mounts
PQUMOUNT \_______________________________________________________
You can obtain mounts when you build both a Dungeon and a Stable, you will be
able to ride mounts, once you capture some. Capturing a mount is the same as
capturing an enemy. After you have fought an enemy three times, the fourth
time you encounter the enemy, you will have another option other than
fighting the enemy and canceling the battle. You will be given a chance to
capture the enemy. Just like with capturing other enemies, you must solve a
puzzle in order to capture a mount.
Also, you can train your mounts to increase their effects and give you a
better chance of avoiding random enemy encounters. When you click on the
Train Mount option, you will be given the list of your current mounts. When
you train a mount, you must battle a mount of a certain level. However, the
battle is not a normal battle. It is a timed battle, meaning that you have a
certain amount of time to make your move or you will take 5 points of damage
as if you have performed an illegal move. The time will slowly decrease
every time you train a mount until you reach three seconds per move, which
means you will not have very much time in order to make your move.
There are seven mounts you can capture. Each one has a different speed,
spell that they give you, and effect that you benefit from. Finally, you do
not need to Research Spells from the mounts. You simply get them when you
are riding the mount. It is the last spell on your list of spells when you
enter battle.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 12. Forge Items
PQUFORGE \_______________________________________________________
When you build a Forge, you will have the ability to Forge Items. In order
to forge an item, you will need three runes. The first rune is the Base
Rune. These runes determine what item you will have. Also, these runes have
special skills that they provide to your item, normally involving your
statistical skills, damage, or Mana Reserves. Second, you need a Modifier
Rune. Modifier Runes increase the effectiveness of both the Base Rune and
the third type of rune, the Power Rune. Power Runes add special abilities to
your forged items, normally dealing with various other things such as your
starting Mana and your Spell Resistances.
Just like Researching Spells, you will be taken to a special Battle Grid
where it will be just you playing. However, the goal and the rules for
Forging Items is different. The goal is to match a certain amount of Hammers
& Anvils, which is indicated off to the left hand side of the bottom screen.
The rules for this game can be found on the top screen and also listed below.
4-of-a-kind: Destroys a row or column.
5-0f-a-kind: Destroys all gems of matching type and a row or column.
Heroic Effort: On a cascade of five or higher, creates a random Hammer &
Anvil on the board.
Special: After Hammers & Anvils are destroyed, the board resets.
Defeat: You lose if there are no moves left.
This seems easier than the Spell Research, and it normally is. The best way
to get rid of a Hammer & Anvil is to either use a +5 Skull to get rid of one
or to clear a row or a column that has one in it using a four or five of a
kind. Also, if you manage to match three Hammers & Anvils together, you will
get credit for all three of them. Just like the Spell Research, you lose the
game if there are no more moves left on the board. Typically speaking, the
longer you play, the more likely the game will no longer give you any moves
to make. Finally, when you match a Hammer & Anvil, the entire Battle Grid
clears and resets, which can sometimes randomly set up a four or five in a
row for you and randomly clear out a Hammer & Anvil without you even trying.
You start off with three Runes in your inventory. However, once you have
built a Forge, you can obtain more. Scattered across the map, normally at
points that are not cities or special dungeons, are Runekeepers. You will
know if a Runekeeper is at a place if you tap on the place and see the option
to Search for Runes in that area. In order to obtain the Rune from that
area, you must fight a Runekeeper. Runekeepers are special versions of
monsters you will fight throughout the game. These Runekeepers have two
items on them, called the Runekeepers Tome and the Runekeepers Key. These
two items combined will increase their Mana Reserves and in turn, increase
the damage they can deal to you. I have listed in this guide all of the
Runes, what they do, where to find them, and who you have to defeat in order
to obtain the Rune.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 13. Sieges
PQUSIEGE \_______________________________________________________
When you build a Forge and a Siege Workshop, you will be given an option of
besieging a city whenever you come across them. Laying siege a city is no
small task and will be difficult to accomplish until you are decently skilled
in battle. When you have captured a city, you will obtain gold when you pass
through that city (provided that you haven't obtained gold from that city
from that month) and you will have access to your citadel in that city.
Cities you capture can rebel, meaning you will not be able to do anything in
that city at all, such as quest or visit the tavern. However, you can re-
siege the city to take it back over and calm the city down. Building a Tower
will decrease the chances of a city rebelling.
I have listed below each city, in alphabetical order, and listed their
equipment that they will have when you siege that city.
