Adventure mode (questions, solutions, hints, etc.)
 

I'm thinking of buying the game but I have a few quick questions before I do:

1. Are there different maps, or is it basically the same map everytime and you just run through the same game with different characters? If there is only one map to play, how long does it last before it's completed?

2. Do you get to upgrade your units (ala Heroes of Might and Magic or the Disciples series)? If the units upgrade, how is it done (through skills, new buildings, etc)?

Thanks for any answers.

There are different maps/places to go to (You could spend about a day running around in one continent, and each continent have about 2-5 maps). Monsters and items are randomized every time you start a new game.

So far, the only unit you can upgrade is priest to inquisitor (that ability available when you open a skill from mind tree).

Hi all,

i want to go now to "Freedom Island"; but whenever i talk to the fisherman (the boat guy) nothing happens. He only offers me a place aboard the Sea Sawllow, but nothing happens after that...? I am not transported to the other continent.

Damn, i really can't leave the first continent apprently. Am i stuck? :(

Hi! Spoilers!

I've gotten to a quest now where I can either help Farmir regain his father's throne and avenge his death, or I can kill the ghost for the benefit of the current ruler (the father's former counsel.)

I'm curious which path other players have taken, and what they've found when doing so. I'm curious about Farmir's lineage, but after installing him to the throne I don't seem to get any options to explore that background.

Cmon, someone must have an answer how to travel to that island...

Hi,

I the main town there is a dwarf with an air ship you need to get the quest from the King to be able to leave the mainland.
I'n the first quest you get sent of to an iland to fight a giant turtle and once you completed that you will get a quest to get to freedom iland.

Yes, i know that, I did the Dwarf quest to get his airship fixed and i killed the turtle. But i can't get to freedom island after that. The king sends me to there, but i can't go there. The stupid fisherman will not take me there. He says to enter his ship, but there is no ship??? Nothing happens.

Ok, it looks like this is a bug. I started a new game and cheated me through to this point and then it worked. Too bad, 20 hours playing for nothing.

Help Farmir, it's the right thing to do.

stuck near end! where is the portal go to demon world?
 

stuck near end! where is the portal go to demon world? i just seen the chief dwarf engineer dude, but i pressed abit too fast and i missed what he said if anything bout where the portal is.

it tells me to go get a key, but that's also in the demon world, so how do i get there?

The portal to demon's world you can find on the map called "Underground Sea"
If I'm not mistaken, the lift to this place is situated in the Lower Hadar.

Two qeustiosn and one bug
 

What exactly does touching hte obelisk do in the game?

Is there a composite list of all commands (the printed manual that came with the atari version list basic commands such as H for hero but not these special commands like control-space et all).

minor bug:
the obelisk in the swamp has the text formatted as one long line so you cannot read it (it extends off the screen) What does it say ? (this is the english disk version from atari)

We'll fix it. You need to touch all obelisks to gain access to locked place later in the game.

I'm sorry if my question has been asked before,but what are Magic Crystals for exactly?

How do you upgrade spells (I read about it but did not see it in the demo).

Open a spellbook, find the spell you wish to upgrade and press a button next to it.

The Headless Skeleton?
 

I have had The Headless Skeleton quest for a long while now. The quest description is pretty vague:

"Find a head in the underground."

Seems like I have cleared all the dungeons up to the Dwarven Castle without luck. Did I miss it along the way or is it further in. Heck, I am not even sure what continent the "underground" is in since most continents have caves labeled as such. Any help?

Thanks.

Xanthaz,

That skeleton is in the abandoned castle that you got the King's old treasure chest from. I believe it's in the forest (Varlen, or something like that.) Not too far from the village where the boy's family has been made stone.



Where the heck is the sunken "black gold" ship? I can't find that thing anywhere...

Vaguely I believe the question should read: Where is the head for the headless skeleton quest (i.,e not where is the skeleton) :)

I had hoped it would either be in the cemetery or the cave that is nearby but alas it was in neither location :(

It is there inside the same castle. :)
Just got a little past the room with the daddy and mommy skeleton in their bed, and you'll see the skull on the ground. It's just off the patrol path of the ghosts.

Thanks, apparently the Strange Skull appears randomly in the castle. I took a left from the entrence and literally scoured every inch of the castle, all the way to the Picture Room and back around through the garden. I ended up finding the skull on the floor just to the right of the entrance. Hehe. I stumbled across 3000 gold from two skeletons along the way so it wasn't a complete waste of time. =D

I still think the quest description should say "Find a head in the castle." instead of "Find a head in the underground." I am guessing it's a poor Russian to English translation, but it's still very confusing. =/

Old Royal Castle
 

Hi,

I don't know if it's the same quest you guy's are talking about, but the onethat I'm currently running is in the Old Royal Castle the headless skellie tells me to go to the end of the corridor and look/pull/click on a torch.
Well I know ( I think where the place is - upper castle , next to the entrance to Royal Chambers ) but it's not working ?
Can it be because I have a truck load of creatures with me already or ?

There is an alcove in the hallway between the bedroom and the room with the portals. It has either 2 or 4 torches on the wall, try poking each of them and the wall will open up. There isn't much inside other than a banner that gives leadership. =/

I am trying to locate pirate "Thorn dog" and cannot find him anywhere. anyone knows where he is ?

He is in the cave in one of West Islands. The cave is in the bay on the right from the center of map.

Thanks a lot, found it !

One more problem, where is the treasure for the titan's tear quest, which is given to you by a dying pirate ? I tried comparing the map given by the dying pirate to the area maps but i am unable to find it

SPOILER: Try Arlania.

found it :grin: .. thanks ! I was earlier looking in the western islands

Can somebody point me to Lucky James's mines? I have no clue where to look. I guess either west or east islands. But have been everywhere (at least I think so) and still nothing.

Lucky James's mines are on East Islands.

Where exactly? Any bulidings/npcs nearby?

In the middle of south one of this islands, on highlands. But the road to mines beginning from the house of Ginger Beard.

Thanks a lot.

helga's cave?
 

lol, i been roaming Darion for 1 days now:) and i stil cant find it., anyone passed by? for a location. got a quest from Engus/Angus something to get a potion from her cave, and i really got no places to search a nymore,
nyone? tnx

EDIT: NVM, found, in Alrania

You will find her in the in Arlania in Snake's Underground.

I have got a quest named "Rare Animals" which i needed to bring 30 Lake Dragonflies, 10 Royal Snakes and 1 Cyclops to the mage Shivarius.

So i have 30 Lake Dragonflies and 10 Royal Snakes in my army, why do they not show as completed in the Quest?

Also how do i get 1 Cyclops?

Thanks =)

you have to go with them to Magic SChool to show them there for them to show completed,
Im stuck to finding a Cyclops :) kinda kill all i met :)

You can buy Cyclop in Kordar or in mines on the way from Arlania to Kordar. In some governor's quest completion cyclops are available in Tripol castle in West Islands.

any idea on Miller Quest so i dont kill Miller and take ring from Rina ? in Greenwort ..that puzzle eludes me, and i tryed talking to that girl in all posible ways, she wants another ring :P

Try again. In right way you will offer Rina to use her ring in turn: one day you and next day Rina ))

I just took the dwarf submarine back to freedom islands,and it dumped me off on the island with mirabelle....but my actual boat isn't there and now i'm stranded.Any solutions? or do I need to reload my last save and not take the damned sub?

There should be a boat for sale in a house next to Mirabella.

I need to find the elven ambasadeurs that kidnapped the King's daughter. In order to do that I have to find Kitano or something. Anybody knows where to find him???

Kitano is a sailor in Greenwort, near the king's castle.

I'm having trouble with the Cyclops too. I looked in Kordar but I can't find one for sale. Annoying.

A small one: there is a quest near the beginning of the game where you have to find the skeleton's head. I've looked everywhere but no head? Where is it? Cheers. :)

Its in the same dungeon (Castle?) that the skellie is in. I think it spawns in a random location, but its definitely in there.

mmm but i got no other ring :)

What he meant was, select the option to share Rina's ring :-P

one query : I am at the darwen area and I see i have not touched 3 obelisks. Have I missed some of the obelisks or i will encounter more obelsiks further ahead

Can you give me the details of your game (like the quest names that you have completed)I've also played it many times, it never occurred to me...

Ya, you get those in later maps...

I don't want you to tel you the location now as it may be a spoiling. If you could not find them, ask me...

is it best to do the kings quests asap before all the side quests so you get the third and fourth rage creatures? then go back and get experience with them?

You can get the 2nd rage creature as soon as you get the box.
The 1st on requires you to be able to win a tough fight (On Hard as a Mage it is tough).
The 3rd rage creature requires you to get to an area that involves fighting a level 15 hero with a average army for that level so I don't think you can beat it on med until 12th level at the earliest.
I have not gotten the 4th rage create at 16th level yet.

Sammual

To - Hepasto (or anyone who knows)

I'm wondering at what point did you finish touching all the obelisks? I'm just starting to go to the Dwarf science area by train (mehgard?). Ive been to the elven lands (except great woods (is one in there?), freedom islands, and all of the Kordor (except the underground sea and I just got to the place you go to by train). I have only ONE to go. Did I already miss it?

1. In the starting location, next to Academy,
2. Starting location, on the little island to the north.
3. Swamps, near the Frog Princess.
4. Arlania, between the tavern and the entrance to a snake cave.
5. Forest, next to the castle.
6. Forest, next to the eh... that other castle.
7. West Islands, on the island, where you solve a quest with three pirate kids.
8. West Islands, near the ork embassy.
9. East Islands, Mirabella's Island.
10. First Dwarf land, next to the pyramid.
11. Location where you meet the dwarven king. Next to the necromancer's home.
12. Elves, Great Forest, next to the Tree of Life.
13. Grey Wastes, near the necromancer's tower.

OK. I haven't been to in the Great Forest yet (skipped for now), so that must be the one!! Thanks.

Btw, how the hell did you remember all that? Lol.

Yeah so where is that skeleton head? I forgot where I even picked up the quest.

TIA
olaf

Search the floor in the Old Royal Castle, in Verlon Forest. In my game it was on the floor near the garden, for example. But it's random located.

do you need to touch all the obelisks to finish the game, or does it open a bonus area?

It only opens a bonus place.

I got that bonus place (when touched obelisks) and found only map... What can I do with map? It's quest item...

You can sell it in one of main castles. Human - gives gold, Gnome - artifact, Elves - 10 runes of each type :)

Damn, I sold in in a human castle... 30 runes, that's great!

What did you sell?

You get the map of Farndor if you complete the obelisk quest and get into the pyramid. I sold it at the Dwarf king nearby and he gave me a Mithril vest (+8 Defense) :-P The runes would have been nice also.

do quest log update when u have visisted all obelisks?

or do i have to get back and check manualy?

I have the quest named "Tame Hyenas" from the dwarf lands, asking me to kill some hyenas. The problem is, i have already killed a bazillion of them, and the quest is still undone.

Any idea why?

11th obelisk
 

can anyone tell me exactly 'where' the 11th listed obelisk is? i'm compleatly lost and its the only one i think i havnt touched.

There was 2 hyenas armies near quest giver beyound fence. (if we are talking about same quest)

Thanks. Guess i will try to look harder :-P

i tryed make this one to. i cant get into them and kill em. they are behind a fence and the gate refuse to open.

know how to getto them?

You have to meddle little bit with the camer zoom - when your camer is directly above that fecne - you can't effectively click on that fence door, as in your way is the upper wood (which is of course inactive - the game makes this wood translucent - but it still hinders you mouse pointer from opening that door.
So just rotate your camera little bit, you will see that the mouse cursor will change to "use" and than the door to the two hyenas will open.

It can be opened, I have 1.6b7 version and finished this quest always :)

is there anywhere that has a list of all the best items and artifacts in the game?

Where the heck can i find a cyclops to purchase to complete the academy's quest?
i just completed the kordar main quest, needing to go to elves land yet, and from previous posts, i read that cyclops can be purchased at kordar, creistein mines or western island, but after going all 3 places, i dun see a single cyclops available except those to be killed

Its a matter of luck i guess. In my game, i only have 1 site that sell cyclops in low quantity. So if you really search all of kordar and didn't find them then hard luck. But i think it may still possible to find them in the elf land or labyrinth.

on whut map is the cold brook. i have gotten the quest and made it but forgot where to turn it in in dwarfland.

anyone remmeber?

It is on Upper Hadar near the Pyramid

which place did you get your cyclops?

they are avaible after u do an quest in the unded areas outside dwarfland. the collect 6 bones thing.

the skeleton transforms to an trader and in my game he had 40 cyclops for sale.

they are availbe in fabrics in smaller numbers in dwarf underground to.

can u tell me which exact map is this undead land?
i dun recall seeing any skeleton in the dwarfland, or are you referring to the elves land?

I have 2 questions:

1.I've got to search for Gerda in the Upper Hadar and I did so,but to no avail.Where exactly is she?

2.I've also gotta collect Gerzhack who are "near the Underground sea".Where exactly should I find them?

1.she's inside a cave, the area is isolated, u need to access it thru a lift from taron mines or lower hadar if not mistaken
2. you need to get a boat first, they are on an island with a mob on it

since you are in kordar, any luck getting a cyclops?

Well,besides from the factory in Upper Hadar,I took over a castle full of demons in Ardan's Peaks which had like 7-8 cyclops in it.Recruiting frm there now.About this island with a mob,this is in the Western/Eastern islands,right?

No, this island is on center of Underground Sea. Find a lift in eastern part of Tauron mines, behind the demons.

Thanks,I finished both quests,but now I'm stuck,and I'm really pissed :( I'm playing on Normal,lvl18 warrior,I completed all quests and killed almost everything on Kordar,Freedom Island and Darion (except the Underground Sea,where creeps are a bit stronger..),and I moved to Ellinia,but there armies are also strong,a lot of them are "match",which results in heavy unit losses every single battle,and that is unbearable.I've got a dwaren army,consisting of 50 Alchemists,59 Cannoneers,8 Cyclops,7 Emerald Green Dragons and 164 Dwarfs,but I'm facing big difficulties,I've got only 3 side quests,all in Ellinia,and the main quest to go to the Land of Death seems like quite the challenge yet,as armies there are even stronger,and it's already difficult reaching a black book before that.What should I do? I really need some advice :(

Annore and Hneya, can't seem to find the guest giver (bard) after i have finished the quest. Any help ?

the bard's dead, just click on the second grave tat appears when you get back to magic valley to complete the quest

its a small head that gives the quest. its very close to one of the book teleporting spots.

make sure u have cleaned exact everything before. all maps quests and islands. elven lands are easy in begining but after 2-3 maps difficulty goes up alot when u are hitting necromacers land. make sure u have as much lvls and skills as possible.

have u done gremlin castle ?

teleporting book?
you mean the book of the death portal available in magic valley, valley of thousand rivers of the elves continent?

ye

are they on the living side or the dead side?
will keep an lookout for it
cos i'm still exploring the living side now

Tips for 2 quests
 

I am stuck with the difficulty of 2 quests on Darion. The one is with the Staff of Archmage Rezo and the other is The Cursed Child regarding Enemen at Karmag Castle in the Graveyard at Marshan Swamps. I play the game in Normal as a Paladin. I am Lv. 10, leadership 4132, Att/Def/Int: 8/19/6. So, I have just set foot on Freedom Islands but in the back of my head I am annoyed that I haven't finished the 2 aforementioned quests. Is it natural to wait for these two to finish them later or am I doing smthing wrong?

Any advice would be welcomed.

Yes, it's completely normal. Thoughout the game you'll experience tons of quests you cannot complete until way later.

is visiting the demon realm necessary after the dwarfs section of the story, i mean, will i need to visit it for main storyline along the game, or it's just a side map for us?
just finished land of the death missions, and not sure if i should clean demon realm first or continue to the orc land

well - you need the land of demons for the main quest - as the key that opens the last path (in elven lands) was stolen by orcs, but they opened demon gate and lost both keys (demons got them and protect them... the main quest key is well protected in demon castle)

Hint - when going to demon lands - don't count with red or black dragons in your army - all uints in demon lands have high fire resitance - any other units are better:) (as non of demons can really fly, the giants are just great :) )

And yes - you can use demon units in the last fights (when you will fight mostly dragons only) when you combine the demon units with the correct artefacts - your resistance to fire will be 70% or more, so closing the gate of hell is very questionable regarding this facts. (Demon and Arch Devils can really kick dragon asses :)
