============================================= [1.1] How to Start DS2 and DS2 Broken World=============================================

Dungeon Siege 2 uses a special CRC check to verify saved games. The primary result is corrupted saved games, due to the use of mods or NoCD cracks. To combat the problem, Elys released a DS2 All*Saves loader that would allow you to load up any saved game. You can download this program here:

http://www.papagamer.com/files/DS2BW_AllSaves_v2.msi

Install Elys's All*Saves and use it to launch the program.

-> From the main menu, choose "Continue" if you want to load the most recently saved single player game. If you want to load another saved game or start a new game, click "Single Player".

-> If you want to use an existing hero (PC), select the hero and click "Next". (Broken World has six pre-generated heroes--one from each class--that you can use to play BW at Mercenary level.) If you want to convert a saved game from original DS2, click "Convert Hero". You can also "Create New Hero" or "Delete Hero".

-> If you choose to Create New Hero screen, select your hero's race, gender, appearance and type in a name; then, click "Next".

-> If you choose to Convert Hero, select the hero from your list of original DS2 characters and click "Convert". If your hero doesn't show up in this list, use the All*Saves mod mentioned above.

-> Once you've chosen, created or converted a hero, select the map you would like to play: Dungeon Siege II or Broken World. Regardless of which map you select, you'll be able to use all features of both DS2 and BW.

-> Select the difficulty level. To play... * DS2 Mercenary: no requirement, recommended levels 0 - 39 * BW Mercenary: you must complete DS2 Merc, recommended levels 39 - 47 * DS2 Veteran: you must complete BW Merc, recommended levels 47 - 68 * BW Veteran: you must complete DS2 Vet, recommended levels 68 - 74 * DS2 Elite: you must complete BW Vet, recommended levels 74 - 94 * BW Elite: you must complete DS2 Elite, recommended levels 94 - 100

-> When you click the difficulty level, the game will begin. If you had a saved game at that difficulty level with your chosen hero, you will load the saved game. If you had no saved game at that difficulty level, you will begin a new game.

*MAJOR BUG WARNING!*The party-save system is seriously messed up when converting a DS2 save (either original or patch 2.2) to Broken World. Any characters saved at the Inn cannot be removed from the Inn. Any characters converted in your active party may be lost forever if you disband them. You are advised to do one of two things:

1) Play through DS2 again using the Broken World interface. A party transferred from DS2 to BW (not converted) works just fine.

2) Remove all your characters and pets from the Inn in DS2 before conversion. After conversion, do not disband anyone from your active party. To use new henchmen in BW, you can either release everyone from your active party prior to conversion, or use a mod that allows you to buy extra party slots at Merc level in Broken World. Such a mod is available at:

http://www.papagamer.com/content/view/60/56/

================ [1.2] Glossary================Aggro: Aggression--refers to the focus of a monster's ire

AoE: Area of Effect--spells or powers that affect more than one monster, typically all within a radius of the target point

Buff: A magical enhancement to skills, powers, damage, ability scores, etc.

Curse: Combat magic spell that debuffs your enemy

Debuff: A magical effect that reduces your opponent's health, armor, ability scores, resistances, etc.

DPS: Damage per Second--the amount of damage a character can inflict per second of fighting

Embrace: Nature magic spells that buff allies' defensive stats; such as armor, resistances, health, etc.

Mark: A special type of weapon enchant spell used by Blood Assassins

Mob: Any hostile creature, from one to many (a mob of mobs!)

Weapon enchant spell: Spells used by Blood Assassins and Fists of Stone to buff themselves or curse their enemies; these spells also split earned experience between two classes

Wrath: Nature magic spells that buff allies' offensive stats; such as weapon damage, ability scores, etc.

================ [1.3] Controls================This is just a quick-start guide to the game interface. For more detailed information, refer to your game manual (available on the CDs in PDF format) and to the Handbook, which is part of your in-game Journal.

Movement & Camera===================* Left-click accessible ground to move.* Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom the camera.* Move the mouse to the edges of the screen, or hold the mouse wheel button and move the mouse to rotate the camera.

Combat & Interaction======================* Right-click an enemy to attack, hold the right mouse button down to continue attacking until the enemy is dead.* Left-click doors, gates, levers, etc. to open/activate them.* Right-click containers to open/destroy them.* Press 'L' to toggle Item Labels ON and OFF* Press 'Z' to collect all nearby loot on the ground* Left-click friendly NPCs to talk to them (if they display the talk balloon icon).* Right-click an ally to cast a beneficial spell on him/her/it.* Press 'H' to drink health potions (all party members who are in need, drink).* Press 'M' to drink mana potions (all party members who are in need, drink).* Press 'G' to set the party in Rampage mode.* Press 'F' to set party in Mirror mode.* There are two other party modes: Defend and Wait. By default they do not have hotkeys, so you can assign whatever you wish. (Game Options > Input tab > Hotkeys... button to assign hotkeys).

Character Management======================* Drag a character's portrait to re-order the party.* Double-click a character's portrait to open that character's Character Window.* Left-click a character's portrait to set that character as the active character.* Press 'I' to open the active character's Inventory.* Press 'B' to open the active character's Spell Book.* Press 'P' to open the active character's Specialties (skills).* Press 'V' to open all character Inventories.* Press 'K' to autosort all Inventories.* Drag an item from one character's Inventory to a character portrait to give the item to another character.* CTRL-left-click while shopping to automatically buy or sell an item.* Right-click an item in Inventory to automatically equip it.

Game Control==============* Press SPACE to pause the game.* Press ESC to open the game menu.* Press J to open the Journal.* Press and hold TAB to view the overhead map.

===================== [1.4] Party-a-go-go=====================DS2 gives you a max of four party members in Merc difficulty, five in Vet and six in Elite. With eight henchmen in DS2 and eleven in BW--each with his or

her own quest--and twelve different pets, choosing your companions and rotating them in and out can get quite confusing.

You begin the game with just two party slots--one of which is occupied by your hero. To purchase additional slots, you must talk to an Innkeeper. The first Innkeeper available is in Eirulan, and she will sell you additional party slots immediately. Thus you could, if you had enough money, buy your third and fourth party slots as soon as you get out of prison in Merc. But, well, you won't have enough money, so that's academic.

The third party slot costs 500 gold; the fourth costs 1,500. Under reasonable circumstances, you should be able to cough up the 500 gold during Act I, Chapter 3 and 1,500 by the time you reach Chapter 4. So you should be able to add Deru, Taar and Lothar to your party (or a pet or two) by the time you enter the Southern Greilyn Jungle.

The fifth slot costs 10,000, which is peanuts by the time you reach Vet difficulty. The sixth slot costs 65,000--again, this is chump change even by Vet difficulty, much more Elite.

To take someone out of your party open that person/pet's Character Window and click the Disband button at the top left of the CW. If you are disbanding a henchman, it asks if you're sure and then sends the henchman to the "party inventory" at the Inn (more about that in a moment). If you disband a pet, it asks if you want to send the pet to the Inn or release it to the wild. If you release the pet to the wild it drops everything in its Inventory and disappears--for good. You can't ever get that pet back again.

Henchmen and pets disbanded to the Inn are stored in a party inventory. You can view this inventory by talking to the Innkeeper and asking about old companions (conversation option #1).

On the right is your party inventory. Underneath the Innkeeper's name are the buttons:* View: shows you a screen with the chosen companion's stats.* Release: permanently removes the selected companion from the game (only works for pets, not henchmen).* Add: adds the companion to your party (if you have an open slot).

Leveling Henchmen===================Henchmen do not level up when stored at the Inn (pets will always be the same level as your hero). When you add a henchman to your party (either for the first time or re-adding via the Inn), he/she will only level up if more than 20 levels less than your hero. If more than 20 levels less than your hero, the henchman will level up to 2 levels below your hero.

Of course, this isn't all that useful. A henchman 17 levels below your own isn't going to be of much help. Not only that, but a henchman so many levels below your own is going to earn a lot less experience from the mobs--as much as 95% less than you're earning. (On the flip side, the henchman will need less XP to level up; but, still...) To level up a henchman, go back to an area where the mobs are roughly the same level as the henchman. Your higher level characters will easily blow the mobs away and your henchman will earn full XP for all the kills and level up pretty quickly.

Summoned Monsters===================

Summoned monsters don't count against your party limit. You could, technically, have every character summon a monster and have up to 12 "members" (6 party members in Elite + 6 summons). Practically, this isn't a good idea as any character other than a full mage is going to have an incredibly weak summons. To get rid of a summons before its time expires, open the summoner's Character Window and click the View button over the paper doll so you see the character's portrait. Right-click the summons icon to dismiss your summons.

===================== [1.5] Spell Casting=====================There are two primary schools of magic in Dungeon Siege II:* Combat magic, which is almost exclusively used for damaging enemies* Nature magic, which offers buffs, healing and strong summoning, plus a little bit of offensive magic

For both schools, there are various levels of spells, requiring a certain level of combat or nature magic skill. Individual spells increase in power either with the level of magic skill or with the Intelligence of the caster. You can see the casting requirements, the current effects and the effects at the next level by looking at the spell description (hover your mouse over the spell icon in your inventory).

To cast spells, you must equip a spell book on your character--the spell book slot is at the top of the character model/gear in your Character Window. Once a book is equipped, click the Spell Book tab and you'll see your available spell slots on the left side of the window.

You have four active spell slots, four auto-cast slots and two reserve slots. Drag spell icons from your inventory to a slot in your book to equip the spell. Active slots are used for spells that you will select for casting. They show next to the character portrait and can be selected in place of a weapon. When selected, the mage will use the spell whenever you right-click on a suitable target; or, if you are in Rampage mode and an offensive spell is selected, whenever an enemy is nearby.

Spells in the autocast slots are cast whenever needed:* Curses are automatically cast at nearby enemies* Embrace and Wrath spells are automatically cast on all allies and recast when the effects wear off* Summoning spells are automatically cast and recast when the summons is killed or its time expires* Healing spells are automatically cast whenever allies are in need of healing* Weapon enchant spells are automatically cast and recast when the effect wears off

Spells in the reserve slots can be moved to an active spot without opening the spell book. Left-click-and-hold any active spell slot next to your character's portrait. A list of all spells--active, autocast and reserve--pops up and you can select a spell from that list to put into the active slot.

Types of Spells=================* Offensive: spells that damage an enemy. Some of these spells also buff the mage; such as, Leech Life, which damages the enemy and transfers the damage

to the mage. Combat mages can choose from fire, lightning and death damage spells. Nature mages can choose from ice and physical damage spells.

* Summoning: summons a monster to fight for the caster for a limited time. Summons cannot be controlled, do not travel with you through teleporters and cost a lot of mana. Nature mages specializing in summons can have very powerful creatures that are of great use; otherwise, summons are more trouble than they are worth.

* Healing: heals party members. Healing spells can be single-target or multiple-target spells. Combat mages have "heal" spells that damage an enemy at the same time.

* Embrace (nature magic): spells that increase defensive stats; such as, health, resistances, armor, etc. Any single character can only have two Embrace or Wrath spells (or combination) active at any one time.

* Wrath (nature magic): spells that increase offensive stats; such as, weapon damage, ability scores, etc. Any single character can only have two Embrace or Wrath spells (or combination) active at any one time.

* Curse (combat magic): spells that decrease stats. Curses generally weaken your opponent to a specific type of damage; some also damage the enemy constantly while in effect. Enemies can only be cursed with one effect at a time.

* Weapon Enchant: embrace, wrath or curse spells that affect only the caster and only while wielding a melee or ranged weapon. Weapon enchant spells also split earned experience between a primary (ranged or melee) class and a secondary (combat or nature magic) class. These spells are used by Blood Assassins and Fists of Stone. Weapon Enchant spells can be used in addition to two Embrace/Wrath spells.

=============================== [1.6] Tips to Get You Started===============================1) Explore the whole map

There are lots of little cul-de-sacs branching off from the main path. These cul-de-sacs usually contain treasure, so it's worth the time to make sure you're clearing the whole map to the edges.

2) Pay attention to creature stats

Many mobs have resistances. If you attack a creature resistant to fire with fire-based attacks, you won't do much damage. At high difficulty levels, you may even heal the creature rather than damage it. Stay on your toes; if your party is diverse (as it should be) you won't have much of a problem.Use Mirror party orders and take out enemies one at a time

The most effective combat tactic is to focus all your party's attacks on one enemy at a time using the Mirror party orders. Rampage only works if you're being swarmed by very weak creatures, which doesn't really happen that often. Rather than disperse your attacks, and possibly end up with one character being ineffectual (such as your fighter running after a melee resistant mob), keep all characters on one mob until it's dead (which shouldn't take more than a few seconds) and then move on to the next.

3) Use Powers to take out swarms or boss mobs

Use area-of-effect (AoE) powers (such as Whirling Strike, Corrosive Eruption or Aether Blast) to handle swarms of enemies. When you encounter a boss-level mob (distinguished by the glowing ring surrounding it), use a high-damage single-target power (such as Brutal Strike or Take Aim) to quickly down the boss mob.

4) If you encounter orange-colored mobs, back off

Enemy stats in DS2 are color-coded based on your active character's level:* Green--the mob is five or more levels lower* Blue--the mob is two to four levels lower* Yellow--the mob is from one level lower to one level higher* Orange--the mob is two to four levels higher* Red--the mob is five or more levels higher

Red mobs, while not unbeatable, will give you heaps of problems individually. If you encounter red mobs, you're in way over your head. Orange mobs mean you're in a little deep. While you might be able to fight your way through; in large numbers, orange mobs will be the death of you.

Anytime the mobs start getting into orange, back off and find an area where the mobs are blue or yellow and keep coming back (the monsters respawn) until you've gained some levels. Green level mobs don't provide enough experience for power leveling.

5) Learn to calculate your Damage Per Second (DPS)

In order to truly understand how much damage you are doing, you must learn to calculate DPS (damage per second). Since weapon damage is dependant on your ability stats and class levels, it will vary from person to person. However, you can compare two different weapons for your character by equipping each and calculating DPS for each.

DPS can be calculated with this formula:

(MAX DMG + MIN DMG) / (2 SPEED)

WhereMAX DMG = Maximum damage of the weapon MIN DMG = Minimum damage of the weapon SPEED = Speed factor of the weapon according to the following table:

Speed Factor------ ------ Slow 0.9 Normal 0.73 Fast 0.67 Faster 0.625

For example, you want to calculate DPS between a bow and crossbow. Bows are Faster weapons while crossbows are Slow; but crossbows do more damage. Your 34th level ranger has a crossbow with a damage range of 97 to 165 and a bow with a damage range of 78 - 134 (damage ranges are from equipped weapons). The speed factor of the bow is 0.625 and the crossbow is 0.9. The DPS of each weapon is:

Crossbow: (165 + 97) / (2 0.9) = 145.5 Bow: (134 + 78) / (2 0.625) = 169.6

As you can see, the bow in this case is clearly superior under normal circumstances.

Now let's consider a 34th level fighter choosing between a one-handed and two-handed weapon. The 2h weapon has a damage range of 90 to 143, the 1h is 67 to 105. Two-handed weapons have a speed factor of 0.9 and 1h is 0.67:

2h: (143 + 90) / (2 0.9) = 129.4 1h: (105 + 67) / (2 0.67) = 128.6

The DPS of the weapons are almost identical. However, the 1h weapon allows the fighter to use a shield, thus drastically increasing armor ratings. On the other hand, the 2h weapon can stun enemies and would be greatly superior used with Brutal Strike.

The upshot of all this: when choosing among several weapons, equip each one and run the formula. Take the one with the higher DPS or one with only slightly less DPS but more bonus enhancements. In the long run, the faster your enemies die, the better off you'll be.

6) Pause the game. Frequently.

Don't try to play this as an action/combat game, relying on the twitchiness of your trigger finger to win the day. The combat in DS2 is very tactical, and pausing regularly during combat will help you assess your characters' positions, their health and mana status and the best available targets.

You should also pause every time you stop to manage inventory or add skill points--especially if you are in hostile territory where a monster could wander up and start beating on you while you're absorbed in whether or not you should equip the Sword of Uberness or the Axe of Leetness.

7) Don't be afraid to use potions. And carry plenty around with you

Whether you choose to invest in Natural Bond and Survival so you can harvest potions, or you just buy some from the friendly neighborhood potion pusher whenever you're in town; always keep plenty of health and mana potions in your Inventory.

8) Versatility is a good thing

Monsters are resistant--or flat out invulnerable--to different types of damage, especially as you get deeper into the game. You must have a variety of damage types available to you. If you've got a party of two fighters and a ranger and you run into a mob that's resistant to melee and ranged damage, you're in trouble.

The best way to handle versatility is to have one of each class in your party: fighter, ranger, combat mage and nature mage. Of the four, the combat mage is inherently the most versatile as she can fling death, fire or lightning damage as needed; and, she can curse enemies to make them weak to her favored attacks. Add a shield tank or mythrilhorn pet to Provoke mobs away from the caster and you've got all you really need. You can then add in

ranged or healing/buffing/summoning support as suits your playing style.

9) Assign hotkeys to Defend and Wait

The game basically assumes the Rampage and Mirror party orders are good enough. However, you may also want to use Defend and Wait. Defend causes all non-active characters to attack whatever is attacking the active character. Wait essentially puts the active character into solo mode--the non-active characters will hold their ground while the active character explores.

There are some specific situations where these party orders come in handy, but, by default, there is no way to issue the commands. You'll have to go in and assign hotkeys to these two party orders yourself. Open the game menu, choose Options, select the Input tab and click the Hotkeys... button. Find Party Orders: Defend and Party Orders: Wait in the list and assign keys to them. Write these down somewhere so you know what key to press to choose the Defend and Wait orders.

10) Don't forget the Summon Teleporter spell

Summon Teleporter is a level-0 nature magic spell. Level 0 means any character can cast it to open a town portal for a quick rest and refit. The standard teleporters are rather thick throughout Aranna, but it never hurts to have a quick escape method at hand. Make sure every one of your characters has a spell book with Summon Teleporter in it, even if they never cast any other spell throughout the entire game. Just remember that town portals do not last through a save/reload and are single-use only.

11) You've got to know when to walk away, know when to run

Sometimes, when you're being overwhelmed, a "tactical realignment" is in order. In other words: run away, run away! This is especially important if you have casters. If they get surrounded by brutish thugs, they'll end up unconscious pretty quickly. Since your mages are generally your highest-damage dealers, any time mobs gang up on them, running to a clear area and regrouping your party is a good idea.

12) Protect your combat mage

What do you do when you're in the middle of a mob and you notice some freak is drawing the blood right out of your veins? You identify the little git and give him what for! Well, your enemies do the same to you. Combat mages draw aggro like flowers draw bees. Even the stupid dogs will run right past your dual-flashy-pointy-thing-wielding monster of a tank and take nips at the heals of your CM.

Since your CM, like any other mage, is a 90-pound weakling, he or she winds up unconscious and you are deprived of the hundreds of points of damage he or she can dish out every cast. What do you do?

First, consider not putting curses in the autocast slot. Yes, curses are incredibly useful, but monsters don't like being cursed any more than you, so they go for the curser. Let your fighter(s) get the mobs attention--then curse them. They might still turn away from the fighter, but they'll likely not survive to run to the CM.

Second, use Drown or Infect as both do a certain amount of DPS. Yes, your CM will draw aggro from using them, but low-level monsters will be dead before reaching the mage and blue and yellow mobs won't last much longer.

Third, use a weapon + shield fighter and the Provoke power--or, better, a mythrilhorn pet--to keep enemies' focus away from your mage.Fourth, have a nature mage with a good insta-heal spell in the autocast slot and plenty of mana potions to keep casting the spell. Your CM may still fall unconscious once in a while, but your NM will get him or her back up in no time.

13) Backup your saves

By default, your saved games are stored in

My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2 Broken World\Save\SinglePlayer

The game keeps your most recent save and five backups*. This doesn't allow a lot of leeway if you get stuck, hit a glitch, etc. Every time you start a new chapter, ALT-TAB out of the game, ZIP up your character's save game folder and archive it somewhere. If you hit a showstopper bug, replace your current save folder with the most recent archived save folder.

* You can increase the number of backups kept by the game. Find the file

My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2 Broken World\DungeonSiege2BrokenWorld.ini

Open the file in Notepad and add this line to the end:

max_save_backups=x

where 'x' is the number of backups you want the game to keep; for example, 10 or 20.

14) The toughest enemy isn't always the biggest enemy

When in combat, try to identify the mobs that are hurting you the most. It might be the boss, or it might be the boss' minions. You can even get seriously injured by green-level mobs if you are especially vulnerable to their attack. In boss fights, it is generally advisable to draw minions away from the boss and destroy them piecemeal before confronting the boss party-a-mano.

You also need to be aware of any mobs that are hanging back casting nasty spells or summoning critters. Destroying a summoner also rids you of their summons, which is a good thing. Again, use the PAUSE key a lot to keep an eye on the ebb and flow of battle. Figure out which mobs pose the gravest danger to your health and focus your attacks on them.

15) Use the map

If, for some strange reason, this guide alone isn't helping you find your way, keep an eye on your map. It is full of helpful icons:* Green dots point out friendly NPCs* Blue dots point out interactive items (buttons, levers, doors, etc.) or treasure that's lying on the ground (including reagents and recipes)

* Gold stars mark primary quest objectives* White stars mark secondary quest objectives* The compass map always shows a gold arrow pointing you in the direction you need to go to complete your current primary quest task

You can zoom the maps (both small and large) using the slider under the compass map. Use it to search for secret switches and get your bearings.

================================== [1.7] Frequently Asked Questions==================================Q. How do I unlock the higher difficulty levels?

A. To play... * DS2 Mercenary: no requirement, recommended levels 0 - 39 * BW Mercenary: you must complete DS2 Merc, recommended levels 39 - 47 * DS2 Veteran: you must complete BW Merc, recommended levels 47 - 68 * BW Veteran: you must complete DS2 Vet, recommended levels 68 - 74 * DS2 Elite: you must complete BW Vet, recommended levels 74 - 94 * BW Elite: you must complete DS2 Elite, recommended levels 94 - 100

Q. How do I add more than four characters to my party?

A. Four characters is the limit for Merc difficulty. At Vet difficulty you can add a fifth party member. At Elite difficulty, you can add a sixth party member. To add party member slots, speak to an innkeeper.

Q. What are the item codes from the PSP?

A. As codes are discovered and circulated, they'll be added to this guide. However, it should be noted there are no unique items in the PSP DS2: Throne of Agony. The F&K codes are, essentially, "cheat codes" that give you a free item in one game when you get that same item in the other. Magic items that can be transferred are listed as "Crossover" items in their description and they can only be purchased, using Agallan Tablets, from the F&K Society merchant; i.e. they do not drop as random loot.

Q. I'm at the Elven Shrine (Act I, Chapter 4) and I can't get through the door because I need a level 6 ranger!

A. That's just a sanctuary door. (See Handbook Lesson #37) There's a bit of treasure behind that door, nothing more. The door to take deeper into the Elven Shrine is to the right of that door.

Q. Where are the set items?

A. Set items are random drops based on your character level. While certain treasure chests and foes have a higher probability of dropping a set item, no two people will find the same item in the same place. You can even find multiples of set items (and other unique items). The items drop according to your character level, so if you get past the intended level without completing a set, you'll probably never complete it.

The exceptions are the set items that are part of a specific quest. These include the Secrets of the Forgotten (Lost Jewels of Soranith quest), the

Ghostly Visions (Spirits of Aranna quest) and Luun's Deathblades (Mark of the Assassin quest). Also, the Nature's Vigilance set items are placed in specific treasure chests in Act I. These are mentioned in the Chapter Walkthrough and under the Nature's Vigilance set description. There are also certain set items that can only be made using a reagent recipe, and a handful that are "Crossover" items and must be purchased from the F&K Society merchant in the Broken World Dryad Outpost.

Q. Where's the best place to XP/item farm?

A. There's no really good place to farm for XP as power leveling is kind of a useless activity. The best place to item farm is anywhere in a town or near a teleporter so you can reload and quickly return to try again. Probably the best place to item farm is the Aman'lu Arena. Don't open the treasure rooms until after you've completed all ten matches. Then save your game before examining your filthy lucre. If you don't like what you're given, reload and go open the treasure rooms again. You can often get a lot of set items this way.

Q. What's with the ??? guy?

A. This treasure thief shows up whenever you get a lot of magic item drops (from chests or mobs). He'll try to steal the loot and run away. He only hangs around for ten seconds and he has a large amount of health. If you can "kill" him within the ten seconds, he'll drop a Mysterious Teleporter Activation Stone. In the DS2 maps, this is a quest item and is part of the Mysterious Mystery quest. In BW, the stone is just an inventory item and doesn't have any purpose.

Q. Can you earn any bonus skill points?

A. Yes, but only in the DS2 maps. The following quests earn one (1) bonus skill point:

* Act I, Chapter 5: The Dryad Exile Colony * Act I, Chapter 8: The Lost Azunite Artifact * Act III, Chapter 6: The Agallan Trial * Act I, Secondary Quest #7: The Hak'u, Part II * Act II, Secondary Quest #13: A Servant's Haunt

You receive two (2) bonus skill points for completing these quests: * Act II, Secondary Quest #6: Arinth the Mad * Act II, Secondary Quest #12: The Aman'lu Arena

================================= [1.8] More Math (for the Geeks)=================================

Talkin' 'bout Regeneration!=============================Health and mana regenerate at a relative rate roughly equal to Max (Health or Mana) / 100 per second. I.e., base regeneration is scaled so the character can fully recover health or mana in 100 seconds. Thus, the actual amount of health or mana makes no difference. A fighter with 1,000 health who has suffered 50% damage (500 points) and a mage with 500 health who has suffered

50% damage (250 points) will recover full health in the same amount of time (assuming their regeneration bonuses are the same).

All potions restore health and mana at a rate that would restore the max health/mana of the potion in 12 seconds. So a small health potion (125 max health restored) restores at a rate of about 10.4 points per second (125 / 12) while a colossal health potion (1,100 max health restored) restores at a rate of about 91.6 points per second. The practical effect is the larger potions seem to take as much time as the smaller potions since, by the time you get the larger potions, your characters have much more health. For example:

5th level character with 100 health drinks small potion and regenerates 10% health per second (10.4 of 100)

40th level character with 900 health drinks colossal potion and regenerates 10% health per second (91.6 of 900).

And, for the truly obsessed:Max health is ((str * 0.6) + (dex * 0.25) + (int * 0.15)) * 5.0Max mana is ((str * 0.02) + (dex * 0.08) + (int * 0.53)) * 5.0

XP (Not the Windows Kind)===========================For mobs that are more than four (4) levels above or below a character, earned experience is reduced by 20% per level to a minimum of 5% XP. For example, if a character is level 15 fighting a level 10 or level 20 mob, the character will receive only 80% XP; 60% XP for a level 9 or level 21 mob; 40% XP for a level 8 or level 22 mob; 20% XP for a level 7 or level 23 mob and 5% XP for mobs level 6 and under or level 24 and over.

This means two things:

1) XP farming has a rapidly diminishing rate of return. Once you get 9 or more levels over the mobs you face, you earn virtually no experience.

2) To level up a low-level party member, you need to fight mobs near the same level as the character. Taking a 20th level companion into a 30ish level mob area will hardly level the 20th level companion at all. Take that companion to an area with level 18 to 22 mobs and level him or her up a bit. Then go to level 24 mobs, etc. until the companion catches up.

Experience is divided amongst non-pet party members. However, mobs scale based on party size, so you end up coming out about even. If you want to level up faster, take just your PC and a party full of pets. You'll face stronger mobs and get all the XP yourself. Of course, it won't take long for the law of diminishing returns to slow your level advancement to a crawl.Conclusion: in DS2, there's no way to power level short of using a trainer.

And the XP table:+------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+------------+| 0 | 300 | 900 | 2000 | 4000 || 7600 | 12800 | 19600 | 26600 | 34200 || 43000 | 53200 | 65000 | 78428 | 93334 || 109879 | 128243 | 148628 | 171256 | 196372 || 224251 | 255197 | 289547 | 327676 | 369998 || 416976 | 469122 | 527004 | 591252 | 662568 || 741729 | 829597 | 927131 | 1035394 | 1155565 || 1288956 | 1437019 | 1601370 | 1783799 | 1986295 |

Weapons, Weapons Everywhere=============================Even more weapon numbers...Base minimum and maximum damages for each type of weapon:

1h melee - Min damage: 0.75 * (3.4 + 0.74 * #item_level) - Max damage: 1.25 * (3.4 + 0.74 * #item_level)

2h melee - Min damage: 0.75 * (5.2 + 1.2 * #item_level) - Max damage: 1.25 * (5.2 + 1.2 * #item_level)

Bow - Min damage: 0.75 * (3.0 + 0.65 * #item_level) - Max damage: 1.25 * (3.0 + 0.65 * #item_level)

Crossbow - Min damage: 0.75 * (5.2 + 1.2 * #item_level) - Max damage: 1.25 * (5.2 + 1.2 * #item_level)

Thrown - Min damage: 0.75 * (3.84 + 0.86 * #item_level) - Max damage: 1.25 * (3.84 + 0.86 * #item_level)

Mage staff - Min damage: 0.75 * (3.75 + 0.85 * #item_level) - Max damage: 1.25 * (3.75 + 0.85 * #item_level)

Cestus - Min damage: 0.75 * (1.65 + 0.31 * #item_level) - Max damage: 1.25 * (1.65 + 0.31 * #item_level)

For example, a level 1 dagger and a level 1 club would both have a base damage range of 3 to 5. A level 30 bow would have a base damage range of 17 to 28 while a 30th level crossbow would be 31 to 52. Higher level items will tend to have magic enhancements to damage. Plus, the actual damage range of the weapon when equipped will be modified by Strength or Dexterity as well as skills, other equipment, etc.

__________/____/ \@_/_/_/_/_| ____ [2] CHAPTER WALKTHROUGH ) \__ \___________________________________________________ / |,-'

This is a step-by-step, linear walkthrough of the main quest and all secondary quests. For breakdowns of the individual quests, see the next section of this guide.

====================================================== [2.1] DS2 Act I: Greilyn Isle and the Azunite Desert======================================================

[2.1.1] Chapter 1: The Siege of Greilyn Beach=============================================== Having left your hometown to find fortune and glory and to see the world, you and your best friend Drevin have been fighting as mercenaries in Valdis' army for the last few years.

You have been transported to Greilyn beach via Dragon flight, and ordered to travel through the trenches the landing force has prepared to help Valdis secure a powerful artifact. Not much is known about the artifact other than that it lies within a temple nearby called the Temple of the Coast and that the island's Dryad inhabitants currently protect it.

Primary Tasks* Get your orders from Morden Lieutenant Jerind* Destroy the training dummy using a melee weapon* Destroy the training dummy using a ranged weapon* Destroy the training dummy using a Nature Magic or a Combat Magic spell* Get your orders from Morden Lieutenant Kargack* Destroy the bracken shell* Make your way to the front lines* Reinforce the troops on the other side of the tunnel

Secondary Quests* None

Not much to talk about here. This is the main tutorial stage and the primary purpose is to get you used to the game interface and controls. Most of the creatures you will encounter during this chapter are weak to fire, so you should either use a fire spell yourself or have Drevin use it. Follow the trenches and the instructions given by the game. Don't spend too much time looting, you lose everything at the end of the chapter anyway.

Once you start encountering ketril, you can switch away from the fire spell and concentrate on whatever class you want to be. When you finally reach the tunnel entrance, you'll want to have a hero power or two available to use on the Infused Ketril that's right inside. He's pretty tough. When you reach the end of the tunnel, there will be an extended cutscene and Chapter 2 will begin.

*NOTE* When playing DS2 at Veteran and Elite levels, you will not play Act I, Chapter 1 again.

[2.1.2] Chapter 2: Prisoner of War

==================================== After securing the Temple of the Coast at Greilyn beach, Valdis, rather than giving a reward for his success, savagely attacked all of the mercenaries.

You were knocked unconscious and, had it not been for your best friend Drevin stepping in front of you at the last moment, you probably wouldn't even be alive.

You were discovered by the Dryads who took you back to the treetop village of Eirulan as a prisoner where you overheard an Elf known as Amren asking your warden to treat you kindly, but you do not know why.

Primary Tasks* Go to the merchant shops and ask for the basket of sharpening stones* Bring the sharpening stones to the Dryad outpost

Secondary Quests* Armorer's Apprentice* Lumilla's Salve

Once you are free, take the lift across to the merchant platform. If you want to take a little break, you can wander around and talk to everyone. The main person you need to see is Telinu, the armorer's apprentice. She has the sharpening stones, and a secondary quest for you. Choose the #1 conversation options to get her quest, which is to find the recipe for Dryad armor in a book that is in the great hall.

You can also get a quest from Lumilla, the enchantress. She wants four nettle clusters to make some of her famous salve. You can't do anything about either of these quests now, so note them and continue on your way. You can't go anywhere in town except the Inn, but there's really nothing you can do there yet (unless you have somehow made 500 gold, in which case you could add a third party member slot).

You can have one companion with you, and there are two hanging around just inside the North Gate: Lothar, a half-giant fighter; and, Deru, a Dryad ranger. If you take one at this early stage of the game, you can switch their class focus; and, in fact, Lothar already has one level of combat mage and Deru one of nature mage. Pick one up depending on your needs. Talk to the Dryad guard to open the gate and take the lift to the Northern Greilyn Jungle.

Once down on the ground you'll find out about health and mana bushes. If your character is a Dryad, or you brought Deru with you, you'll get some mana potions from the mana bush. You won't be able to harvest health potions until someone in your party reaches level 5 ranged and takes the Survival skill.You'll also learn about incantation shrines because there's one right here. The Dryad who teaches you about shrines will also teach you a chant, the Lesser Chant of Fortification.

Due north of the shrine is a tower. Enter it and throw the lever to ride a lift down to the basement where you will learn all about sanctuary doors and find four sanctuary doors (one for each class). You'll need a character with at least level 3 in a class to open these doors. There's also a lectern with another chant on it (Lesser Chant of Dexterity).

Take what you can and ride the lift back up and head west for a little looting side trip through some Hak'u caves. Once you've cleaned them out,

follow the Dryad guard a short distance east of the shrine to the Dryad outpost. Dispose of the Morden, free the Dryads and start the next chapter.

[2.1.3] Chapter 3: The Morden Towers====================================== Freeing the captured Dryads has gained you more respect than is usually given to a prisoner, but to earn full trust and freedom you must burn down the four known Morden watchtowers in the jungles surrounding Eirulan.

Primary Tasks* Find the first Morden tower.* Burn down the first Morden tower.* Find and burn down the second Morden tower.* Find and burn down the third Morden tower.* Find and burn down the fourth Morden tower.* Return to Warden Celia in the Eirulan prisoner's terrace.* Speak with Taar in the Eirulan great hall.

Secondary Quests* Lumilla's Salve* The Hak'u

Now would be a good time to head back to Eirulan and sell some of your excess loot. Check the reagent merchant near the North Gate (he has an emerald floating over his head) to see if he has any nettle clusters you can buy and buy whatever you can afford. Head back to the Dryad outpost and continue through the gate to the north.

After you cross the bridge, you'll see some Hak'u fighting a boarbeast. Interrupt their hunt and dispose of the Hak'u, then follow the boarbeast west. After everything's dead, LEFT-CLICK the statue to reveal a hidden treasure chest. You should receive the Vigilant Gloves, part of the Nature's Vigilance set.

Continue north. When you reach the stairs, head west to find another statue and another hidden chest, though with less treasure. Then go up the stairs to a gate guarded by some Morden. You can choose to lie about rejoining the army, which will get you a pass through this gate, or you can be belligerent and kill all the Morden and still get through the gate.

Before passing through the gate, go east and up to a series of plateaus where you can find some more Hak'u and loot. Continue through the gate, then head west to another plateau and a Hak'u encampment with some nice loot. Then back to the main path and north a little more to the first Morden tower. Regardless of which conversation path you followed before, this time you end up in a fight.

Once the Morden are dead, break the cage and talk to the Dryad. Then LEFT-CLICK the wreckage of the cage, which should produce a cage fragment. Pick it up (pressing 'Z' is the easiest way), equip it and LEFT-CLICK the campfire and then LEFT-CLICK the tower. You get a satisfying explosion and you now know how to take out the other three Morden towers.

Continue northward, through the wreckage of the tower, and you'll soon come to a teleporter. Across the path from the teleporter is a platform with two books that will teach you the Lesser Chant of Strength and Lesser Chant of Intelligence.

Just north of the teleporter the path branches west and east. You can't go east now because the way is blocked by a wall you cannot pass, so follow the path west. At the top of the first ridge, enter the tower and find the interactive brick on the east wall. Left-click it to raise the treasure chest.

Continue following the path west and up until you see a cutscene of a Dryad fighting a Hak'u. Afterwards, make sure the area is clear of hostiles and then talk to the Dryad, Morain, to get the first Hak'u quest: you must rescue Morain's niece, Tanzi. After talking to Morain, head back the way you came and go north, past the health shrine and over a bridge. You'll find a Hak'u ritual camp. Try to take out the shamans first, to keep them from summoning lots of other beasties.

Now would probably be a good time to use the Summon Teleporter spell (or walk back to the teleporter you recently passed) and head back to Eirulan to sell off some loot. You should have enough gold to buy as many nettle clusters as you need from the reagent merchant.

Take four nettle clusters to Lumilla and she'll give you a jar of Lumilla's Salve, which is a pretty good reagent. Hang on to it until you get an enchantable item. (You might want to stick it in the storage vault, for safekeeping.)

Return to the main path and continue west. Soon the path will turn south and you will find the second Morden tower. Burn it down as you did the first and continue south.

Look for a small Hak'u camp to your left (east) just past the tower. After clearing it, go the opposite direction (west) to a waterfall and walk through the falls into a small cave. There's nothing to fight in here, and you can't talk to the ghost (yet); but you can pick up a Mysterious Chant from the lectern and some high-quality swag from the treasure chest--including the Vigilant Hauberk, armor from the Nature's Vigilance set.

Head back to the main path and continue south. The path will turn east and you will soon come to the third Morden tower. This one is guarded by a Morden-Viir Grunt Captain, who is pretty tough, but weak to ranged attacks. Take him out first before dealing with the peons. Then burn down the tower.If you go north from the tower, you'll complete the circuit, arriving back at the broken bridge where you met Morain. There's some looting opportunities around the bridge, then continue through the ruined tower.

The path turns south. Just past the tower is a path leading east that takes you to a small plateau with a little loot. Continue on the main path until it heads up and you enter the Western Greilyn Jungle. Soon after you reach the top of the ramp, there will be a place to turn west and venture into the jungle.

Here you will find the back entrance to the Hak'u caves and Tanzi held prisoner. Clear the Hak'u from the cave and watch as Tanzi sort of frees herself and runs back to Eirulan. If you explore the cave, you'll find a partial bridge you may have noticed earlier when you were in the Hak'u caves near the North Gate. Pull the lever to open a shortcut between the Western Greilyn Jungle and Eirulan's North Gate.

You can't complete the Hak'u quest until you've finished with the Morden towers, of which you have one more to burn. Leave the cave and continue south along the main path.

There's nothing particularly exciting until you reach the fourth Morden tower, which is guarded by a Morden-Viir Recruit Captain, who is a very tough ranger, but weak to melee. After the fourth tower is burned, continue west until you reach the teleporter.

Teleport back to Eirulan and take the lift over to the prison. Speak to Warden Celia and she will tell you to go to the great hall and Taar will remove your Ring of Submission. Do so. When you talk to Taar, your Chapter 3 quests will end and Chapter 4 begins.

[2.1.4] Chapter 4: The Plague=============================== Burning down the Morden watchtowers has gained you the respect of the Dryads.

Taar removed the prisoner's Ring of Submission from your neck, but the Dryads believe that you were infected with a deadly plague. From what you've been told, your only hope for a cure is to reach the Elven Shrine at the top of the ridge in the western Greilyn jungle and drink from the fountain there.

Primary Tasks* Find the ancient Elven shrine.* Locate the Elven fountain.* Fill the empty vial with water from the Elven fountain.* Report back to Taar in the Eirulan great hall.

Secondary Quests* The Hak'u* The Hak'u Part II* The Armorer's Apprentice* Lelani's Sorrow* Secrets of the Elven Shrine* Kithraya Hive* Secrets of Xeria's Temple

Across the room from Taar is the elf, Tellendril. He can tell you all about war pedestals (and the entry will be added to your Handbook). Nearby, on a shelf, is the Tome of Smithing that will tell you how to make Dryad armor. Near the ramp to the lower level is Anerith, an elf who will instruct you in how to obtain quests.

In the lower level you can pick up a book called "The Mothers of Eirulan". Historian Arisu can tell you many tales of the history of Greilyn Island and Aranna. Leave the hall and go to the infirmary next door. Speak to Hesla, Morain and Tanzi to end the Hak'u quest and begin the Hak'u Part II quest.Take the lift back to the merchant's area and talk to Telinu. Give her the correct formula for making Dryad armor (conversation option #3). You'll complete the Armorer's Apprentice quest and get a suit of magical Dryad armor and another magic item.

You may be infected with plague, but all areas of Eirulan are now open to you.

Go to the pet shop and walk counter-clockwise around behind the pet shop to find a ramp leading up to Laenne's house. Talk to her about a "Lost Sapphire of the Elves" hidden in the Elven Shrine. Since you're going there anyway...You might want to buy a pet: the local pet store currently has a pack mule (300 gold), ice elemental (500 gold) and scorpion queen (350 gold).

Next to the pet shop is a house where you meet Lelani. Talk to her to begin the Lelani's Sorrow trading quest. This quest will span much of the game, but you can make the first trade now. Take the child's doll Lelani gives you and head for the Falls, which you can reach using a lift from the Inn.

In the first house, talk to Fenella and give her the doll. She'll give you a flask of Elven ale in return. Walk through the back door of Fenella's house and take the elevator down. Follow the path to another elevator, go up and enter the house to talk to Tamari. She'll give you the Kithraya Hive quest.

Outside Tamari's house, activate the lever to lower the bridge for a shortcut back. Head to the Inn and stop inside for a chat with the grizzled bar patron, who is sitting, amazingly, at the bar. Keep choosing conversation option #1 to get a quest for the future, Secrets of Xeria's Temple.

If you want to add another companion slot to your party, speak to the Innkeeper. Adding a companion slot costs 500 gold. While at the Inn, go into the room behind the bar to pick up a book, The Hak'u.

Once you're done in town, teleport back to the Western Greilyn Jungle. From the teleporter, head west, off the path, to find an incantation shrine and a lectern with the Lesser Chant of Mage Health. Continue exploring westward to find a Hak'u encampment that includes the house of the Hak'u usurper. You can't do anything about him now, but you can loot the environs, picking up some good magical items, the Lesser Chant of Casting and the Lesser Chant of Ranger Health.

At the far west end of the map, you'll find a ghost (part of a later quest) and the Vigilant Boots, part of the Nature's Vigilance set. Make your way back to the main path and continue south. You'll come to a Dryad outpost. They give you permission to loot them, so do so--don't miss the armor stand in the corner or the Lesser Chant of Fighter Health on the lectern. Now all you have left to do is follow the gray dirt road to the Elven Shrine.

In the first level of the shrine, you can find a sanctuary door that requires ranged level 6 or better to open. Clear out a couple of rooms to find the lift down to level 2. At the bottom of the lift, search for a button on the west wall, near the lift, to open a secret room and begin your search for the Lost Sapphire of the Elves.

Loot the room, then left-click the Green Life Cube pile to pick up a cube, then left-click the Green Life Cube Socket to place the cube in the socket. A lever is revealed. Activate the lever to be taken down a level. Find the button on the north wall to open a secret room to the south. Get two cubes from the Yellow Sight Cube pile and place one in the Yellow Sight Cube Socket in the south room.

Grab two Red Blindness Cubes from the pile in the south room, then activate the revealed lever in the north room to go down one more level. Activate the button in the east wall to open the room with the Red Blindness Cube Socket. Place one cube there, then grab two Purple Death Cubes and put one in the appropriate socket in the other room.

Another secret room opens. Put your remaining cubes in the appropriate sockets in this order: Yellow - Red - Purple. Activate the lever to be taken to the sapphire, as well as three chant books: Lesser Chant of Fighter Power, Lesser Chant of Ranger Power and Lesser Chant of Mage Power.You'll come back out in the lift room of level 2. Make your way south, looting the side rooms. One side room has a sanctuary door that requires a

level 6 or higher nature mage to open.

Once you descend a flight of steps, prepare for a boss fight. There are three very tough Hak'u in the next room, one of which keeps reviving as long as the other two are alive. Once the three boss Hak'u are dead, the door to the south opens and you can enter the fountain.

There are only a few weak Hak'u in this room. Kill them, then left-click the fountain to fill your vial. Grab the Chant of Lesser Prosperity from the north wall. Use the teleporter to the east to return to Eirulan. Go see Laenne above the pet shop and give her the sapphire, then return to Taar to complete Chapter 4.

[2.1.5] Chapter 5: The Dryad Exile Colony=========================================== After drinking from the fountain in the Elven Shrine, you filled your vial with the last of the curative water. You have been asked to bring it to a colony of exiled Dryads who have the plague.

Primary Tasks* Find the Dryad Exile Colony* Save the old man

Secondary Quests* Dire Wolf* Taar's Investigation

Add Taar to your party. If all your slots are filled, disband a henchman or go purchase a fourth slot from the Innkeeper (cost is 1,500 gold). With Taar in your party and the active character, go to the house next to the great hall and speak to Arianne. She tells of a great beast said to be controlled by the Hak'u. Agree to track down this beast--if it exists.

Go over to the pet shop and talk to the merchant. Select conversation option #2 about wanting something stronger. She will tell you about dire wolves. Rokhar, a mage who hangs about in the great hall, knows quite a bit about them. Go back to the great hall and speak to Rokhar. Agree to meet him in the Southern Jungle.

Teleport from Eirulan to the Northern Greilyn Jungle. Remember the Hak'u ritual camp you cleared out earlier? Time to visit there again. Go north and then west from the Northern Jungle teleporter until you reach the health shrine. Then go north over the bridge to the ritual camp.

Clear the Hak'u, then click the carcass on the top of the altar. The Hak'u Ceremonial Blade should drop on the ground. Pick it up and teleport back to Eirulan. Go to the pet shop terrace and leave through the South Gate.

When the trail turns east, go south and pass through a gap in the rocks. Enter a small cave and have it out with the garganturax--the "formidable" creature that scared Arianne. The garganturax can't be hurt by melee weapons other than the Ceremonial Blade, so equip that to your fighter. However, the Blade doesn't do much damage against this little monster. Pepper it with spells and ranged weapons--which do damage it--and try to keep it occupied with the Blade wielder.

You can wait to finish Arianne's quest until you've finished the Dire Wolf quest, so get back on the main path and continue east. Along the way you should find Some Abandoned Ruins (yes, that's what they're called). Find the

interactive chalice on the north wall (it's the left of the two center cups) to open a secret room with some decent loot in it. Just east of the ruins is a cave with an elder Hak'u witch doctor. He has good loot as well.

Continue east until you reach the Southern Greilyn Jungle teleporter and, just beyond that, Razka's Ruins. There's a mini-boss here, a Morden-Viir Spearman Captain who is weak to ranged attacks. Clear out the monsters and continue east; don't go down in the ruins as you'll need a key to fully explore them and you won't get the key for quite some time yet. Just past Razka's Ruins, turn north and cross the bridge and enter the cave that's to your right as you come over the bridge.

Fight your way through the cave to enter Rokhar's Rift Site. Talk to Rokhar and he'll start summoning a dire wolf, while a horde of nawl beasts come through the rift. Go into Rampage Party mode and lay into the nawl beasts until Rokhar manages to bring the dire wolf through the rift. Then talk to him and he will travel back to Eirulan to deliver the wolf to the pet merchant.

Loot the rift area. About this time you can expect your first encounter with ???. ??? is a mysterious, level 100 humanoid thief that teleports in randomly when you discover valuable loot. He steals a few items and teleports out. You can attack him, but, at this point in the game, you won't be able to kill him. However, attacking him will keep him from stealing your stuff and make him drop an item or two of his own.

You may see ??? at this point, you may not see him until later. Always keep your eyes open for him and your weapons ready. Teleport back to town; and, go see Arianne and complete Taar's Investigation, then head over to the pet shop and talk to the pet seller to conclude the Dire Wolf quest. Buy a puppy if you like.

Teleport back to the Southern Greilyn Jungle and head east once more; you're now entering the Eastern Greilyn Jungle. Just past the point you turned north to find Rokhar, look for a cave entrance to the south--there should be two vulk in front of it. Inside you can score the final piece of Nature's Vigilance--the Vigilant Crest (helmet). Opposite the cave, to the north, is a plateau with a circle of mushrooms on it. This is part of a later quest.

Keep following the main path, which will soon turn south. Look for a small tower to the east (your left) and go down into it to get some good loot. You are now just outside the Dryad Exile Camp.

Continue to the Dryad camp. Inside, an old man is being attacked by plagued Dryads. Kill the plagued Dryads; then talk to the old man, who turns out to be an Azunite scholar. He will fill you in on what Valdis is up to (assuming you haven't already figured it out).

Thus ends Chapter 5...

[2.1.6] Chapter 6: Leaving Greilyn Isle========================================= The old man you saved is interested in all things Azunite, and calls himself the Azunite Scholar.

He confirmed what Taar told you: there is a portal to the mainland on the eastern shore of Greilyn Isle that leads off the island. He also warned you that you must pass through the Kithraya Caverns to reach it.

Primary Tasks* Locate the Kithraya Caverns* Look for survivors from Vix's squad* Investigate Eastern Greilyn Beach* Destroy the shard* Use the portal to leave Greilyn Isle* Talk to Captain Suzor

Secondary Quests* The Hak'u, Part II* Feldwyr the Blacksmith* The Kithraya Hive

After the history lesson, talk to the Azunite scholar again and he will open the path east. Loot the camp, then take the west path (yes, that's west, not east). Near the incantation shrine, find a small cave where you can locate Hrawn, the Hak'u. Talk to him to open the remainder of the Hak'u, Part II quest.

Leave Hrawn and his father and return to the Dryad camp. This time take the newly opened east path and then turn south and find the Eastern Greilyn Jungle teleporter. Teleport to the Western Jungle.

From the Western Greilyn Jungle teleporter, go due west to find the usurper's house. (You may remember having explored this area earlier, during your trip to the Elven Shrine.) Knock on the door of the house. The usurper will let you in and try to kill you. Do unto him before he does unto you.

Teleport to the Eastern Jungle and make your way to Hrawn's cave. Talk to his father to receive your reward. Now teleport back to Eirulan and visit Hesla in the infirmary to receive even more reward, including a bonus skill point for all members of your party.

It's about time to sell off some loot; once you've done that, teleport to the Eastern Greilyn Jungle. Continue along the main path. You will soon reach some ruins and the path will turn south, over a bridge. Enter the ruins, kill some Hak'u and find Feldwyr the blacksmith. Talk to him to initiate his quest.

In the room south of Feldwyr is a lift that will take you up into a locked tower on the cliff above the ruins. You can unlock the door from the inside, creating a little shortcut back down to Feldwyr. After talking to the blacksmith, the door to the east opens and you can go down into the depths of the ruins.

Before heading down the stairs, in the room just east of Feldwyr, look on the north side of the north, central column. Pull the lever to open a secret room. In the secret room, find the button on the west wall to open another secret room. There's yet a third room (not hidden) beyond this second room. Once you are finished looting, go downstairs.

At the bottom of the second stairway, you can turn either left (north) or right (south). Go north and fight your way through a bunch of relatively low-level Hak'u until you find the mini-boss and get Feldwyr's anvil. In the eastern-most room of this set of rooms, look for a lever on the wall that opens the center room and find a treasure chest.

Back at the fork in the path, going south presents you with a level 24 mini-boss guarding a room full of level 22 mobs. Not only would it be almost

impossible to defeat this mini-boss (your characters are probably about level 14, unless you've been doing some farming); but, you won't get much XP from the encounters since they are so much higher in level than you. Best to wait until you're about 20th level, then return here and clear out the southern portion of the ruins.

Leave Feldwyr's sanctuary and continue south over the bridge. You will soon enter a narrow cavern which leads to a ridge above the path you've been traveling. You'll find a tower here, inside of which is Vix, a human ranger who offers to join you for your trip through the caverns. If you tell Vix to take a hike, he will--but only as far as the Eirulan Inn. Also inside the tower are two chants, the Lesser Chants of Magic Awareness and Ranged Awareness.

After passing through Vix's tower, you'll enter the Upper Kithraya Caverns. Fight your way through them. About ¿ of the way you'll find a large chamber with two exits: a wide one in the southeastern corner and a narrow one in the southwestern corner. There's also a broken elevator, but you can't fix it until you've got someone named Finala with you--and you won't meet her until Act II.

Take the narrow, southwest passage to a dead end with a mini-boss and a little loot. Then take the wider passage to the southeast to find a teleporter and the entrance to the Lower Kithraya Caverns.

Fight your way through the caverns until you encounter one of Vix's soldiers, who is quite possessed. Soon after leaving the zombified remains of the soldiers behind, you'll come to a fork in the path. Take the right (south) path to find and kill the hive queen and get her head.

Head back the other way to enter Eastern Greilyn Beach. Fight the spirits and destroy the shard, then head down to the beach and talk to the scholar. After your conversation, the portal off the island is open. Step through to a small desert camp and talk to Captain Suzor.

[2.1.7] Chapter 7: Secret of the Azunite Desert================================================= A Human battalion from Windstone Fortress has been searching for a powerful Azunite weapon. They tell you that the keys to finding the weapon are guarded by the Skath, a fierce desert race.

Primary Tasks* Find the Stela of Blindness* Find the Stela of Life* Find the Stela of Death* Find the Stela of Sight* Place the four stelae and learn the location of the Lost Vault of the Azunites

Secondary Quests* The Kithraya Hive* Lelani's Sorrow* A Family Heirloom

After talking to Captain Suzor, step into the house behind her and talk to soldier Balamar. He wants something to drink and you should still have that flask of Elven Ale you got back in Chapter 4. Trade him the Ale for some skath cat ribs. If you did a lot of talking to people in Eirulan, you may remember someone who wants some meat...Yeah, time to make a trip to Eirulan

and finish the Kithraya Hive quest and take another step on Lelani's Sorrow. Fortunately, there's a teleporter nearby.

Travel back to Eirulan and go see Tamari at the falls for your reward. On the way back, stop at the Inn and go upstairs and talk to soldier Jordhan. He's craving meat, so give him the skath cat ribs and receive a statuette of Xeria in return. Might as well put it in the storage vault, you won't find someone who wants it until near the end of Act II.

Sell your unwanted gear and teleport back to the Azunite Desert. Don't bother with the stuff south of camp just yet, you'll be coming back to that area later. Leave the camp to the northeast and go down to the first Skath Guardian. Kill him for the Stela of Blindness.

Go west, under the bridge, to find the Skath Guardian with the Stela of Life. Go back to where you killed the first Guardian, and go north, up the slope to a tower. Enter the tower and take the elevator down to speak with Master Thestrin. Ask him about his duty and about the riddle needed to pass a guardian statue in his family's crypt. After talking to Thestrin, find the button in the alcove on the west wall to open a secret treasure room.

Leave Thestrin and continue north past the tower and turn back south toward the bridge to kill the Skath Guardian with the Stela of Death. Turn and go north; before you go through the archway, turn left (west) and go down the stairs to face the final Guardian and get the Stela of Sight.

Go north into the Azunite cavern and clear it. Then head back up the stairs and through the archway you approached earlier. Clear out this main cavern, the cavern to the west and the small canyon to the north. Then take the east path from the cavern to the Azunite Shrine.

In the first room of the shrine, find the interactive block on the south wall and press it to open a secret room. Collect the loot, which includes the Lesser Chant of Purity.

Go through the east door and follow the hallways of the shrine. You will soon reach an octagonal treasure room with four chests in each corner and one in the center. The chest in the southeast corner is a mimic, which is a very tough foe; but, drops a lot of loot.

The other three corner chests open one of a set of side doors with level 16 creatures. The center chest opens all four doors. It's up to you whether you want a gang war or a little 4-on-1 monster killing. Be sure to loot the small side rooms for more loot, including a Chant. Continue south to a series of two elevators that take you to the Inner chamber of the shrine.

Right next to you is a sanctuary door that requires ranged 13 or better to open. On the east wall is a lectern with the Lesser Chant of Melee Awareness. After taking the treasure, place the Stelae in their sockets. A Map of the Lost Vault of the Azunites and a silver mirror appear on the central pedestal. Collect them, the door to the west opens, and Chapter 7 comes to an end.

[2.1.8] Chapter 8: The Lost Azunite Artifact============================================== Placing the four Stelae revealed the location of a lost Azunite vault. Find it and retrieve the weapon inside.

Primary Tasks

* Find the Lost Vault of the Azunites* Retrieve the Azunite Weapon* Talk to the Elven spirit in the Lost Vault of the Azunites

Secondary Quests* None

This is a fairly short and linear chapter, though it may feel long and wandering due to the amount of combat, and twists the path takes--get used to it, it only gets worse from here. When you leave the Ancient Azunite Shrine, you'll come out into the Valley of the Azunites. To the south is the Cavern of the Phoenix, but there's nothing there for you...yet. Head north. You'll soon come to a teleporter, which will provide a welcome respite in Eirulan--as well as a chance to unload some of your loot.

Teleport back to the Valley. Due east of the teleporter are some ruins. Careful searching will reveal an elevator. This leads to some Lost Elven Ruins; but, you're going to have to come back here again later, so leave it for now. Continue north, pass through another Azunite Cavern and come out on the cliff ledges above the small canyon in the Azunite Desert.

There's a bridge to cross to the other side and another Azunite Cavern. Fight your way through the cavern. Take note of the "broken" bridge to the northwest--this is, again, part of a later quest. Continue until you come to a mirror-and-light puzzle.

Gotta love those.

The statue in the southeast is missing its mirror, you can use the silver one you got from the shrine. Starting with the mirrorless statue, turn the statues in the numerical order listed below so the light is shining in the pattern shown:

6---------------------7 3-----------------2 | | | | | | | | | 8-----------9 | | | | | | | 5------------------------4 1

A new path will open up, so take the long and winding stair to the Lost Vault of the Azunites. Retrieve the Azunite Artifact, which turns out to be an empty bowl.

Yes, that's right, an empty bowl.

Ah! But Mr. Plot Exposition Elven Spirit has popped up out of nowhere and a conversation with him will reveal--well, not all, but a good deal and set you up on your next quest.

[2.1.9] Chapter 9: Windstone Fortress======================================= The Azunite Ancestor within the Lost Vault of the Azunites has revealed much--evidently you are a direct descendant of the great Azunai himself, which explains how you were able to wield the Azunite bowl without harm.

You must now travel to Windstone Fortress to unlock the bowl's

power and aid those stationed there.

Primary Tasks* Begin the journey to Windstone Fortress by speaking to the Azunite Ancestor* Take the Azunite Artifact to Windstone Fortress* Find the person in command* Enter the Windstone Fortress Outer Vault* Activate the Azunite Artifact* Enter the Temple of Xeria

Secondary Quests* The Imprisoned Half-Giant* The Missing Squadron

While it was really nice of the Elven spirit to leave you a treasure chest, it would have been nicer for him to leave you a quick exit out of the Vault. Hoof it back up the stairs to the light puzzle room and talk to the Elven Spirit again. He'll open a path to the north that takes you to the Western Cliffs of Azunai.

There's a teleporter right here, but it's best to keep moving for now. Go east until the path ends, then search for a cave entrance to the south. Enter Isteru's Caverns. To the southwest you can find the entrance to some ruins that lead to an Ancient Elven Reliquary. You can't do anything down there right now, so ignore it. Work your way through the caverns, back out on to the cliffs, and back into the caverns again.

Keep following the caverns and cliffs until you reach a bridge. Cross the bridge, and to the east you can find a mini-boss and some loot. To the west, from the bridge, is the Eastern Cliffs of Azunai teleporter. Continue west and then north to enter the Windstone Tunnels. Once you get through the Windstone Tunnels, you'll be at the entrance to Windstone Fortress, which is not a very friendly place right now--if you haven't already figured that out.

Continue down the path, until you get the cutscene showing that Valdis has been here. Gee, that's a shock. At the locked door into the fortress, take the entrance to your right into the Eastern Gatehouse. Clear the gatehouse, then head down the hall.

There are three side-rooms here. The one to the north contains a little loot. The one to the southwest is where you'll meet Private Banos. Go ahead and talk to him and agree to take him to Squadron Leader Taarth. You'll get a new quest entry, Secondary Quest #13, The Missing Squadron--even though you haven't met Taarth yet. It's easier this way.

The room at the southeast corner of the hall contains another mimic. Beat it down with hero powers, then run back to the war pedestal in the gatehouse for a recharge and come back and beat on it some more. They do drop a lot of loot, so they're worth the trouble. Continue north, then west along the hall.

Off this northern hall are two side rooms. The one to the north has a mini-boss and a treasure room to the east. The treasure room has the Lesser Chant of Magic Skill, and, behind the statue, a button to open another treasure room. The side room to the south is found by turning the statue set into a nook in the wall.

Head west again to enter Windstone Fortress proper. Before going north to activate the teleporter, head straight across into the Western Gatehouse. Clear it out to find Private Caiden (break the pots surrounding him or he won't follow you), the Lesser Chant of Melee Skill and a book: Vol. 7, The

Deeds of Xeria. The book is part of a later quest.

Head back out into Windstone Fortress and go north. Enter the next west-leading hallway to enter the barracks and work your way to the west-most room, where you'll find Private Nolan. Pick up the Lesser Chant of Ranged Skill in the same room. Along the northern hall of the barracks, look for a secret door switch on the north wall. There's another secret room off the first secret room. Return to the Fortress proper and talk to Squadron Leader Taarth, who will be delighted to see his men and will reward you with the Dusty Key.

Just west of Taarth is a half-giant in a hole. Speak to Sartan to open the Imprisoned Half-Giant quest and prepare the way for another possible henchman. Past Sartan is Captain Dathry, the man in charge. Speak to him to continue the main quest in this chapter.

Enter the eastern hall and push the button on the wall to open the Outer Vault. The next room contains a Yellow Sight socket and some Yellow Sight cubes. You know what to do. Beyond are two Green Life sockets; the green cubes are in the room to the right (south).

Next are two Red Blindness sockets and the zombiefied Lieutenant Namyek, who will cough up the Inner Vault Key if you give him a permanent Heimlich. Open the Red Blindness door and enter the Inner Vault. After the zombies are dead (re-dead?), thoroughly loot the room and then click on the blue flame to activate your Azunite artifact.

Grab four Purple Death cubes from the corner of the room and open the door that is just north and east of the blue flame. Inside is the White Vault door, which requires the Dusty Key to open. Lucky you did that quest for Taarth, right? Open the vault, place your four purple cubes and collect copious amounts of treasure.

Return to Captain Dathry with your artifact. He'll blow open the way northward. Then talk to Soldier Orayne to free Sartan and talk to Sartan to complete the Imprisoned Half-Giant quest. Go north and fight your way through the big bugs, which shouldn't be too hard if you've been doing all the sidequests so far. Enter the Temple of Xeria...

[2.1.10] Chapter 10: The Temple of Xeria========================================== Valdis and his Archmage have entered the Temple of Xeria at the heart of Windstone Fortress. Hopefully the Azunite artifact is as powerful as they say because you're going to need all the power you can get to help save Windstone Fortress.

Primary Tasks* Clear out the Temple of Xeria* Place the Azunite Artifact on the Azunite statue* Find the shard* Destroy the giant trilisk in the temple courtyard* Destroy the shard* Go through the portal to the town of Aman'lu

Secondary Quests* Feldwyr the Blacksmith* A Family Heirloom* The Secrets of Xeria's Temple

Fight more bugs until you get to a large room with a pit in the center. In the pit are two (rapidly becoming familiar) sockets: green and yellow. Pick up three green stones from the southeast corner of the room and place one in the green socket. This opens a door on the west wall. Go in there and get three yellow stones. Place one on the yellow socket in the pit.

A door on the south wall opens. Enter and place a yellow and a green stone. Two more doors open up. Go to one of those rooms and collect three red stones. Then enter the other newly opened room and place one of your red stones in the socket with one red symbol, and then a second red stone in the socket with two red symbols. Grab three purple cubes from the one side room and place one in the purple socket in the other side room.

This opens another side room with another purple socket. Place your stone and then you're back in the room with all four color sockets. Place a stone in each. Collect your booty, including the Chant of Scholars.

Oh, yeah! Main quest. Back to the pit room and open the north doors. Kill all the zombies and loot the side rooms. There's a secret room on the west side, make sure you find it and take out the zombie trash. Once all the zombies are immobile, click the big, glowing statue to blow up all the zombies in the Fortress. Enter the north room and loot it thoroughly, including two books: Vol. 8, The Death of Xeria; and, Vol. 9, The War of Legions.

In the southeast corner of the room you'll find a moveable statue on the stair landing. This leads to an elevator, which takes you to a little bit of loot. To the north, next to the incantation shrine, is another moveable statue that leads to the Cavern of Earth--but, there's nothing you can do there now.

Back in the large room, take the east door to find the teleporter. Now's a good time to wrap up a couple of quests. Teleport to the Eastern Greilyn Jungle and travel east until you reach Feldwyr's underground shelter. Head downstairs from Feldwyr's room.

If you haven't retrieved Feldwyr's anvil yet, head north and rampage through the Hak'u until you get the anvil from the level 16 mini-boss. Now go to the south set of rooms, which are guarded by a level 24 mini-boss and full of level 22 creatures (and another mini-boss with the mithril ore). You should now be able to take these monsters. Once you have both the anvil and mithril ore, going up the stairs to see Feldwyr results in a cutscene in which his hammer is stolen.

Follow the newly opened path north of Feldwyr's room and kill more level 22 creatures and another level 24 mini-boss. Return to Feldwyr with his hammer and he rewards you with a fantastic weapon...Which will take a few days to make. When you finally reach Aman'lu at the beginning of Act II, you can search out the blacksmith and speak to his apprentice, who happens to be Feldwyr's brother, Fyrndolf. He'll give you the reward.

Teleport to the Azunite Desert and go southeast to find a Ruined Crypt. Talk to the statue and answer its riddle with Azunai, Xeria, Elandir and Zaramoth (conversation options 3, 3, 1 and 1). You should be able to handle the level 28 and 30 enemies in the treasure room; but, your main objective is the glowing sword lying on the crypt.

Grab the sword and head back to Thestrin's tower. He'll reward you with a bogus Mysterious Chant (don't ever use it). You can either give him the sword, which will net you another Chant (this one useful), or keep the sword if you find his story a bit fishy.

Teleport to Eirulan and go talk to the grizzled bar patron to end the Secrets of Xeria's Temple quest. Refit your party as needed and teleport back to Xeria's Temple. Head north for the Act I boss battle.

The Giant Trilisk looks quite fearsome, but it's pretty easy. The middle head, Vitalus, is the problem child--it will heal the other two, but not itself. The snake only uses area-of-effect attacks that don't seem to hurt fighters that are up close. So go beat on the middle head, use your powers (they'll recharge quickly enough whacking off 15,000 health) and kill Vitalus. Once it's been chunked, the other two go down quickly enough.

Destroy the shard, talk to Captain Dathry and then enter the portal to Aman'lu.

======================================== [2.2] DS2 Act II: The Northern Reaches========================================

[2.2.1] Chapter 1: The Town of Aman'lu======================================== Your hometown has suffered a devastating attack. Find out what happened.

Primary Tasks* Speak with Celeb'hel the Elder in Alt'orn Hall in the town of Aman'lu

Secondary Quests* Mythrilhorn* Mark of the Assassin* Deru's Treasure Hunt* Arinth's Legendary Staff* Viperclaw* Tywlis' Broken Staff* Feldwyr the Blacksmith* A Family Heirloom, Part II* Aman'lu Arena* Lothar's Innocence* A Dark Ohm

All you need do to complete this chapter is head straight for the building in the center of town and talk to Celeb'hel; takes about a minute. However, as you can tell from the Secondary Quests list, there's a lot of talking that can be done in Aman'lu.

So, before going to see the Elder, wander about town and talk to people. Here's the brief rundown:

In the pet shop in the southeast corner of town, talk to the pet seller and ask about special animals. He'll refer you to Khartos the Wise, who's hiding in a tavern some where. (No wonder they call him wise.) This opens the Mythrilhorn quest, which will net you another pet choice once you reach Act III.

Just southwest of the pet shop, enter the abandoned house and note the bling-bling on the table. Pick up this intriguing stone and get killed...almost. After the near miss, talk to Danadel to launch the Mark of the Assassin quest.

Southeast of the pet shop you can find Prospector Albain. Talk to him with Deru in your party to open Deru's Treasure Hunt.

North of the prospector, along the east side of town, is Eolanda's house. Talk to her about Arinth to get a quest to find the pieces of Arinth's Legendary Staff. She'll also give you Lore book: Vol. 10, The Legend of Arinth the Mad. Vol. 11, The Dryads and their Customs is on her table and Vol. 14, Fables of Ancient Artifacts is on the floor.

Directly behind Eolanda's house is a ranger named Eumenidie. Talk to her about reagents to get the Viperclaw quest. Reagents are random drops and you might even have one or two right now. If you don't have what she needs, there are specific places in Act II where you can pick them up. These are noted later in the walkthrough.

Along the north side of town, just west of the incantation shrine, is Tywlis' house. Talk to her about her grandfather's staff to get her quest. The reagent she needs is a rainbow trinket. Check your pockets, you might already have one. You can also visit Tywlis' basement, but there's nothing you can do down there...yet.

Near Tywlis' house is the house of a fletcher named Ithir'renne. She has an Aman'lu orchid, a well-known symbol of Aman'lu. Think that might make Lelani back in Eirulan happy? Yeah, but you've got a long way to go before you can trade Ithir'renne for her orchid.

Also on the north side of town is the house of Drianjul, Drevin's sister. Talk to her to learn news of your family and receive a letter from Drevin.In the burnt-out blacksmith shop on the west side of town is Feldwyr's brother, Fyrndolf. Talk to him to get your special weapon and officially close that quest.

On to the Inn, which is just full of people to talk to and things to do.

* Athelas is standing near the Innkeeper. You may recognize his name from your talk with Thestrin. Regardless of whether or not you kept the heirloom sword, talk to Athelas to initiate the second part of this quest.

* Amren is hanging out at the bar; you can add him to your party if you're lacking a ranger. He's currently a level 20 ranged character, with a bunch of unspent skill points waiting for you to specialize him.

* The barkeep, Drudwyn, has heard of you--so he thinks. Talk to him and deny everything he thinks you've done. He'll eventually admit there's a little challenge for adventurers down below his wine cellar. When you decide to go down there, you will officially open the Aman'lu Arena quest.

* On the second floor of the Inn, pick up a Lore book: Vol. 13, Elandir's Life and Teachings. There's also a ghostly spirit up here on a balcony, note it for later.

* On the ground floor, find Roland and talk to him with Lothar and open Lothar's Innocence in your quest log.

* South of the Inn is the mage shop. Lyssanore sells magic supplies and is also interested in communicating with spirits. Talk to her about that and get the quest, A Dark Ohm, to retrieve the necessary chant. Go up to the second floor of Lyssanore's shop to pick up two Lore books: Volumes 12 and 15.

Well, that's it. You've made a circuit of the town and your quest cup runneth over. Go to the central building and talk to Celeb'hel to begin the next chapter. Before leaving town hall, grab the Lore book: Vol. 5, Turmanar and its Aftermath, from the table.

[2.2.2] Chapter 2: Finala and the Broken Bridge================================================= Celeb'hel the Elder told you that Princess Evangeline of the Northern Reaches took the Aegis of Death away by caravan to Snowbrook Haven. Valdis arrived not long after and demanded the Aegis. When he discovered that it was gone, Valdis commanded his Archmage to take vengeance on the town of Aman'lu. In the resulting destruction, the town's bridge was broken. If you have any chance of catching up to the caravan, you must convince Finala, the town engineer, to repair the bridge. This will be easier said than done-- Finala is a childhood friend of yours, but she harbors some resentment surrounding your decision to leave Aman'lu and join Valdis' army. You'll definitely have some explaining to do.

Primary Tasks* Find Finala, the town's engineer, in the hills north of Aman'lu* Convince Finala to return to Aman'lu and repair the broken bridge

Secondary Quests* Viperclaw

Head to the north gate of Aman'lu and talk to the guard to open it. Follow the path up into the hills. When you reach the bridge over the swamp, search down in the swamp in the southernmost corners to find a jagged arrowhead for Eumenidie. There are no side areas, except some minor treasure in the basement of one of the houses. It's the house just east of the health shrine at the top of the first line of hills.

You will eventually reach Finala. You'll find it a simple matter to convince her to head back to Aman'lu to fix the broken bridge while you are tasked with going to Elen'lu Isles.

[2.2.3] Chapter 3: The Elen'lu Isles====================================== Finala had been on her way to activate the Prism of the Elves, an ancient protective device that should put out the magical flames in town. You convinced her to return to Aman'lu to work on repairing the bridge, so now it is up to you to activate the Prism of the Elves.

Primary Tasks* Travel to the Elen'lu Isles* Find and replace the prism's four small refractor crystals* Find the prism's large refractor crystal and activate the prism* Return to Aman'lu and speak with Finala

Secondary Quests* Viperclaw

Once Finala leaves, continue on the path, eventually entering the Northern Vai'lutra Forest. When you reach the incantation shrine, keep going northwest to find a damp cave, which has a lot of taclaks and a bit of loot. Due east of the cave is a ramp leading down into a cul-de-sac. Here you can find an

elevator that leads to an Ancient Elven Reliquary. You'll return here later, when you can talk to ghosts.

Return to the main path, which heads south. When the path turns east, continue south to find a hollow tree. On the east inside wall is a button that will bring up a treasure chest. Continue east and you'll soon find a teleporter. Turn north into the swamp to find another hollow tree with some loot. Then proceed east, through the ruined temple to reach the Elen'lu Isles.

Now you get a new task. The taclak have stolen the refractor crystals that collect the diffuse light in the Isles and focus it on the main prism. You must find four crystals and replace them in the refractors and aim the refractors at the prism.

On the first island, kill the taclak and collect the first crystal. Then go east by clicking the arch over the bridge to extend it. Watch out for taclak, who have the ability to jump from island to island.

At the next island, turn north, then go east, north and west. Find the elevator that leads to a flooded chamber and work your way through the rooms to another elevator. This brings you out on an island north of your starting point. There's a griffon feather on the ground for the Viperclaw quest.

Now go south, east, north, east and east again and kill the taclak for your second crystal. Go south three islands, then take the other north bridge (the one to the east) to find the first refractor. Click it to place a crystal, then click it again to turn it so it shines west toward the prism.

Go back south, then head west two islands to pick up your third crystal. Go north, then to the north end of the island to reach the second refractor. Turn it once to point east. Go back to the south end of the island and take the southeast bridge, then go east to the third refractor. Turn it three times to point north.

Backtrack past the second refractor and go north to pick up crystal #4. Then go north and then east to refractor #4. Turn it three times to point south.

Now you have to find the big crystal that goes in the prism. Go back to refractor #2 island and take the east bridge to the main island. Kill the mini-boss for the prism crystal. Put it in the top of the pyramid and watch the cutscene. Then kill the horde of taclak, including mini-boss, that surround you.

From the north end of pyramid island, you can open a westward bridge that's a shortcut back to the teleporter. Or just use a summon teleporter spell to get back to Aman'lu. Head to the south end of town and talk to Finala, who has fixed the bridge and wants to come with you. She's an accomplished combat mage, so take her along if you like.

[2.2.4] Chapter 4: The Royal Caravan====================================== Now that Finala has repaired the bridge, you can attempt to catch up to Princess Evangeline's caravan and ensure that the Aegis of Death doesn't fall into the hands of Valdis.

Primary Tasks* Locate the Caravan* Find the Vai'kesh sanctuary

* Find the leader of the Vai'kesh

Secondary Quests* Finala's Contempt* Lothar's Innocence* Amren's Vision

Before haring after the caravan, add Finala to your party and teleport to Eirulan and thence to the Kithraya Valley. Take Finala north into the Upper Kithraya Caverns and find the broken elevator. With Finala as the active character, click the broken mechanism and ride the elevator down into a Morden intelligence camp. Have Finala open the treasure chest to get a map to four hidden Morden towers.

Teleport to the Southern Greilyn Jungle and head west to the Abandoned Ruins. Finala will find a secret door inside the ruins and you can follow the path to an elevator that takes you up to a plateau with the first Morden tower. Destroy it as you did the towers in Act I.

Teleport to the Northern Greilyn Jungle and go to the impassable wall just north of the teleporter. You know, the one that's been bugging you since Act I, Chapter 3. Finala will find the secret entrance. Pass through and destroy three Morden towers. After the final tower is destroyed, Finala finds another map and an elevator gear. That's all you can do until Act III, so teleport back to Aman'lu and head south.

As you leave town, there's a house to the west where you can pick up a Lore book, Vol. 3: Downfall of the Manu Ostar. You can also talk to Alar'ithil, who is one of the later links in Lelani's MLM scheme. Enter the house to the east and talk to Eldoriath to start the Servant's Haunt quest. You can't continue it until you've completed A Dark Ohm, but might as well get it in the quest log.

Continue south and enter the Southern Vai'lutra Forest. Look for a burned-out farmstead to the east. You can get the Chant of Strength from inside the house. As you continue south, look for a set of steps back to the northwest. The house on top of the plateau has the Chant of Dexterity and Chant of Intelligence.

Further south, look for a narrow valley leading to a cul-de-sac to the east. This is Magrus' house, which you can't enter right now. Note it for later. A bit further down the trail, you can find a hollow tree off to the right (west). The button to raise the chest is on the east wall.

You'll soon reach the teleporter, which is for the Southern Vai'lutra Forest (North). Ah! Egregious apostrophes and contradicting directions! It must be a fantasy RPG! Anyway...just west of the Southern North teleporter is another mushroom circle.

These circles mean something special to Amren. Add him to your party, if necessary, and take him to the mushrooms. He'll have a vision. (That happens to lots of people when they have too many mushrooms.) Afterward, one of the mushrooms will be glowing. Click the mushroom to activate an elevator to a secret shrine.

This is the Shrine of Sight. Find the altar and have Amren click it to activate the shrine. You can also pick up a Lore book, Vol. 18: The Path of Sight. You may remember the mushroom circle in the Eastern Greilyn Jungle. At some point, take Amren to the Southern Greilyn Jungle teleporter and go northeast to that circle, which leads to the Shrine of Sight and contains

Lore book, Vol. 17, The Path of Life.

For now, your quest continues south, over a bridge. Before crossing the bridge, go east into a little grotto to get the XP from killing a mini-boss and collect a nice haul. After crossing the bridge, look for a cave entrance to the west.

This is a Watery Cave and filled with level 24 mobs and a level 26 mini-boss. Make sure Lothar is in your party. Defeat the monsters and then find a half-giant mushroom farmer named Magrus. Talk to him and you'll find the thief who stole Roland's cloak. He'll flee to his house, but drop his key.How conveeeeeenient!

Take a quick side-trip back north to Magrus' house, enter and beat Magrus down. He'll surrender and go back to town. Follow him, speak to Roland and Magrus at the Inn and receive your reward for Lothar's Innocence.

Back to the main quest. The Watery Cave has two entrances/exits. Due east of the southern entrance is A Small Cave? filled with mini-boss level mobs that drop a lot of loot. Be sure to stop in and pay them a visit during your tour.

Continue on the main path. You will soon reach what looks like a shrine, but is, in fact, the entrance to the Levreth Estate, which is underground. There's really not much you can do down there now, so pass it by and continue on your way. You'll reach your first objective: the caravan. Which is lying in pieces next to a teleporter (the Southern South one, in case you were wondering).

Talk to the wounded elf on the ground to update your journal, then continue on your way. Look for a plateau to the east not far beyond the wrecked caravan. There's a hollow tree with an elevator that drops you right on top of a mini-boss.

Back on the main path, you will soon enter the Vai'kesh Forest and find yourself at a set of gates. You can't get through, so turn left and follow the trail to the Vai'kesh sanctuary. You can choose to be nice to the guards at the door or pick a fight. Either way, they're eventually going to end up dead, so do as you please and enter the Sanctuary.

When you talk to the Prophet, he takes the Aegis of Death and runs away. Leaving you to slaughter his minions, but only after you start...

[2.2.5] Chapter 5: The Vai'kesh and the Aegis of Death======================================================== You confronted the Vai'kesh Prophet about the Aegis and the princess. You learned that he has the Aegis--but instead of giving it to you, he fled. Catch him and recover the Aegis of Death.

Primary Tasks* Follow the Vai'kesh Prophet* Continue following the Vai'kesh Prophet* Follow the Vai'kesh Prophet along Arinth's Ravine* Defeat the Vai'kesh Prophet and his followers* Find the Aegis of Death* Defeat the Knotted Shambler* Claim the Aegis of Death* Talk to the Azunite Scholar

Secondary Quests* A Family Heirloom, Part II* A Dark Ohm* Viperclaw

Clean up the Vai'kesh mess in the auditorium, then start looting the place. There's a sanctuary door (nature mage level 22) on the south wall. On the east wall, find a button to open a secret door and collect the Chant of Fighter Power. Then find the button on the wall right next to the door to open another secret room that has a mimic.

Back in the main room, find another button along the east wall--this one on the steps behind a pillar. In the secret room revealed you can collect the Chant of Mage Power. Click the pedestal along the north wall of this room to open yet another secret room with some minor loot.

Finally, on the north wall of the auditorium is a sanctuary door (ranger level 22) that has a treasure chest and the Chant of Ranger Power. Now that the swag is safely stored in your pockets, follow the Prophet through the door in the center of the room.

Fight your way out of the sanctuary--look for Lore book: Vol. 2, The Dark Wizards on a table on one stairway--and emerge into the Vai'kesh Forest. You're now south of the gates you passed earlier, so turn north and open them before continuing on the path. You'll quickly reach the Vai'kesh Forest (North) teleporter and the entrance to a Large Vai'kesh Cavern.

Fight your way through the cavern until you reach the Vai'kesh Forest (South) teleporter. You can find one secret room in the cavern, along the north wall after the third large Vai'kesh fight. Search for the secret lever to the left of the door.

Now, if you kept the heirloom sword from Thestrin's quest in Act I, make sure it's in your Inventory. From the Forest (South) teleporter, go south to find a Small Vai'kesh Prison. Enter and speak to Athelas. There's a demon encased in a force field.

If you earlier gave Thestrin the heirloom sword, he'll use it to break the demon's prison, then go hide in the corner. If you kept the sword, equip it to any character and use it to break the prison. (You do not need to keep the sword equipped to fight the demon.) Once the demon is destroyed, Thestrin will flee. Speak to Athelas to get your final reward and conclude the quest.

Head north from the prison to find the Prophet. He'll run away (again), leaving some minions to die for his cause. Help them fulfill their destiny, then enter the cave from whence they came.

After defeating the Vai'kesh in the outer cave, open the door to witness a Vai'kesh ritual. Kill the Vai'kesh, then return to Lyssanore in Aman'lu and teach her the chant. You'll get the Chant of the Dead added to your Lore entries and you can now speak to all those uncommunicative spirits throughout the land.

Head after the Prophet. After crossing the second bridge, turn right (west) to find a Small Vai'kesh Cave and loot it. You can't get through the door here until later, so don't worry about it. Continue south after the path turns east, to find another cave with more loot. You should find an onyx fragment for Eumenidie in one of these caves. Next time you're in Aman'lu, talk to her to finish the quest and get the viperclaw reagent. On to the next teleporter, which is at the western end of Arinth's Ravine.

Pass through the ravine. Look for another Vai'kesh cavern along the north side of the ravine. There's another locked door you can't yet pass, but some nice loot on the outside of the door. After passing over a bridge, you'll find a frozen cavern to the south. This is part of Deru's Treasure Hunt, so don't bother with it unless she's in your party and you've finished the first part of the Hunt.

Shortly after the frozen cavern, you'll see the Prophet again...briefly. Kill his minions and follow after him over the bridge. (Going due east just leads to a cavern you can't enter.) You'll soon reach the Eastern Arinth's Ravine teleporter. From here there are two paths that lead to the same place--the final confrontation with the Prophet.

The Prophet calls out a horde of minions, and has a powerful attack of his own. Your best bet is to run back towards the teleporter and draw the minions after you; the Prophet won't follow. Once all the Vai'kesh are down, the Prophet is fairly easy.

Too easy.

He's not the boss fight for this chapter. After the Prophet is down, explore the cave to the north for some loot, then enter the eastern cave to face the Knotted Shambler. The Shambler regenerates health from the leaves produced by the Leaf Generators scattered around. Ignore the Shambler until you've destroyed the generators. There are about six generators and they only show themselves one at a time.

Once you are sure you've destroyed the generators, concentrate on the Shambler. Hopefully, you've got a combat mage with some fire spells, because it's quite vulnerable to those. Avoid its pounding, overhead attacks and keep at it until it's defeated. Then take the Aegis of Death and speak to the Azunite Scholar to begin the next chapter.

[2.2.6] Chapter 6: Princess Evangeline======================================== After defeating the Vai'kesh's Knotted Shambler, the Azunite Scholar informed you that Princess Evangeline of the Northern Reaches has been captured by Valdis' Dark Wizards. You must find her, before it is too late.

Primary Tasks* Find the Azunite burial grounds* Look for the Death Masks of Champion Rahvan's brothers* Enter the Azunite catacombs* Find Princess Evangeline* Rescue Princess Evangeline

Secondary Quests* Spirits of Aranna* A Servant's Haunt* A Servant's Haunt II* Arinth's Legendary Staff* Deru's Treasure Hunt* Amren's Vision* Rahvan's Curse

Yes, the Azunite Scholar tells you to hurry, but there are no actual time limits in this game. So, take a break and go do some side quests. Now that

you can chat up the neighborhood spirits, you can start in on a number of side quests. First, explore the grotto. The door the scholar just opened for you leads to a portal that takes you to the Snowbrook area; however, there are several more "rooms" in this cave.

In one room you'll find a ghost. Well, equipped with your fancy new Chant of the Dead, run outside and into the northern cave where you can find an incantation shrine. Incant and run back to the ghost and have a chat. Thus begins the world-spanning Spirits of Aranna quest. It makes even Lelani's little trading scam seem tame.

There are 18 woeful ghosts spread all over Aranna; you may recall seeing several already. You've just taken care of #9 on the list and there are nine more you can reach right now. While you're on your spiritual journey, you can also stop at the two Elven Reliquaries you've found thus far and pick up pieces of Arinth's Legendary Staff. And you can enter the Levreth Estate and take care of the Servant's Haunt quest. Finally, since you're making a world tour, might as well pick up Deru and do a bit of treasure hunting.

So get hopping! There's so much time and so little to do.

Wait. Reverse that. Thank you.

From the Eastern Arinth's Ravine teleporter, jump to the Southern Vai'lutra Forest (South) teleporter. There's an incantation shrine behind you on the hill. Incant and run east to the elevator down into the Levreth Estate. There's a second elevator to get down to the estate proper, where the spirit of Threnith Wilwarin awaits.

Speak with him and he will open the south door. Before following the ghost, go to the north room and pick up the Chant of Fighter Health and some treasure. To the west is another room with a mini-boss (level 27) and the Chants of Mage Health and Ranger Health.

Go back to the south room and pick up the portrait of Lady Levreth. Then talk to Threnith again. (Don't worry if the Chant wears off, once you've used it on a spirit, you can continue to talk to that spirit thereafter.) Threnith will open another door leading to a room with a lock of golden hair.

Pick up the hair and talk to Threnith to be led to a burned letter. Then talk to him once more to be shown the room with the family jewels. Now leave the estate and teleport back to Aman'lu. Head south to Eldoriath's house. Speak to him to close this quest; then speak to Threnith to open Part Deux.

Well, you needed to go to Eirulan anyway. While you're in Aman'lu, go to the basement of Tywlis' house and find the hidden button to open a secret room. Ride the elevator down to a hidden cellar. Cross the bridge and find the hidden button in the west passage to open the path to the ghost. There's an incantation shrine right here.

After speaking to the ghost, check your remaining Chant time (hover the mouse cursor over your character). You only need a couple of minutes to hoof it over to the Inn and speak to the ghost on the second floor balcony. If you can't make it, use the shrine in the northeast corner of Aman'lu. Teleport to Eirulan.

Go to the Inn and confront Lady Levreth. She'll confess and tell you the name of the true murderer. Go to the Falls, use the incantation shrine at the bottom of the lift, then take either elevator down to the bottom of the Falls and speak to the ghost on the bridge. Leave Eirulan by the North Gate.

Go northwest to the Hak'u caves. There's both a shrine and a spirit here. Leave the caves by the back entrance to the Western Greilyn Jungle, turn north and head for the Tranquil Cave behind the waterfall. You should be able to reach it before your Chant wears off; if it does, continue north past the waterfall to find another shrine.

Head south to the Western Jungle teleporter and then go west to the Hak'u usurper's house to find a shrine and a spirit. Teleport to the Azunite Desert and use the portal to get to the Eastern Beach. If you're quick enough, you don't even need to use the shrine here, just talk to the ghost that's only a short way up the path.

Take the portal back to the Desert and then teleport to the Lost Valley of the Azunites. The ghost and incantation shrine are at the south end of the valley, near the Cavern of the Phoenix. Teleport to the Western Cliffs of Azunai.

Go into Isteru's Caverns and find the ruins in the southwest corner. Climb the stairs to an elevator--the button for the elevator is hidden on the steps next to it. Incant the Chant of the Dead at the nearby shrine, then take the elevator down to an Elven Reliquary. Speak to the spirit to open the chest and get Arinth's Focusing Stone, part of Arinth's Legendary Staff.

Return to the teleporter and go to the Temple of Xeria. North of the big room where you killed all the zombies, next to the incantation shrine, is a switch that opens a secret passage. Incant, head up the secret stairs and take the south passage to find the spirit. That's ten down, only eight more to go, but they'll have to wait.

Finally, before returning to Aman'lu, add Deru to your party at the Eirulan Inn (if she's not already a member) and teleport to the South Greilyn Jungle. You'll be right next to Razka's Ruins. Ride the elevator down and clear out the rooms. Deru will be able to open the chained door, which leads to some swag and a key with a riddle.

The riddle leads to the Frozen Cave in the Vai'kesh Forest, so teleport back to Aman'lu and then to either the Western or Eastern Arinth's Ravine teleporter. The Frozen Cave is halfway along the ravine, on the south side. Deru can collect another riddle here, as well as some treasure. The new riddle points to the Plain of Tears, which you won't reach until Act III.

Return to town and replace Deru if she's not one of your regulars. Enter the central building and confront the murderer of Lord Levreth: Guardian Commander Wethril. This can only end in violence. Once he's dead, talk to Celeb'hel to close the quest and receive your reward.

One more stop. Teleport to the Elen'lu Isles and go west to an incantation shrine. Use the Chant of the Dead and bash your way quickly to the north. Look for a ramp that leads down into a grotto. There's an elevator at the northeast tip of the grotto. Take it down into an Elven Reliquary and obtain Arinth's Carved Rod.

Time to get back on the main quest. Teleport to Eastern Arinth's Ravine, go back to the grotto and take the portal to the Garden of the Ancients. As you exit the portal, directly to your east is a frozen crypt. Inside the crypt, in the southeast corner, is a statue that opens a secret room with the Chant of Master Self Awareness.

Follow the path until you reach the teleporter. Now, if you continue on the

path, you will eventually reach the Azunite Burial Grounds, through which you must pass. You'll find the burial grounds guarded by Rahvan. He'll offer to let you pass if you bring him news of his three brothers. So, to get past Rahvan you're going to need the Death Masks of his brothers.

Rather than go all the way to the burial grounds and then backtrack to this area for the Death Masks, might as well get them now. There are actually four, one for each of Rahvan's brothers and one for Rahvan himself.

You'll find these Death Masks in Frozen Crypts scattered around the area. Each crypt has a bunch of mobs, a mini-boss (level 30) and three secret rooms on the non-entrance sides of the crypt. For example, if the entrance to the crypt is on the north side, the secret rooms will be on the south, east and west sides.

One crypt is directly south of the teleporter, another is a short distance east and a third is further east. The fourth crypt is west of the teleporter, on your way to the burial grounds.

Further west, just before you reach the second teleporter, is the third mushroom circle for Amren's Vision quest. If Amren is not in your party, summon a teleporter and go back and get him. This is the Shrine of Death. In it you can find the Lore book: Vol. 19, The Path of Death.

After finishing with Amren's magic mushrooms, continue south, past the teleporter, to reach the entrance to the burial grounds. Talk to Champion Rahvan to open the door to the grounds and begin Rahvan's Curse secondary quest.

In the entrance chamber of the burial grounds, you will see four symbols on the floor. In order they are Death (purple tree), Blindness (red eye), Sight (yellow eye) and Life (green tree). Memorize the order. Well, since you're reading this guide, you don't actually need to memorize the order...Anyway, the order is important.

The door leading down into the burial grounds is to the right of the floor symbols. Follow the halls until you reach a large cavern where the ice is falling from the ceiling. Explore the area thoroughly. In the western part of the room you'll find a chasm with a natural bridge across. On the north side of the chasm, to the east of the bridge is a group of stalagmites hiding the Chaotic Chant of Might.

Take the west path that up and out of the cavern area to another plateau of the Garden of the Ancients. To the west is an incantation shrine that you can use to talk to the ghost that is on the eastern peninsula of the plateau. This is Spirit of Aranna #12.

In the north of the plateau is a tower with an elevator that leads to some treasure, including the Chants of Melee and Ranged Awareness. And, of course, there are lots and lots and lots of monsters to give up some XP for your party. Not to mention graves to rob and dropped loot to collect.

Once you've had your fun, return to the burial grounds and continue south to reach another teleporter. Once you go over the bridge south of the teleporter, you are in the Azunite Catacombs. From the first platform, take either bridge to the second platform. Rotate the obelisks so they read, from left to right, as the symbols in the first room did: purple tree, red eye, yellow eye, green tree. Take the elevator down into the lower catacombs.

When you reach a fork in the path, go south to enter a shrine. Take out all

the mobs, then find the purple tree symbol on the east side of the shrine. Incant the Lich's name given you by Champion Rahvan. A door will open to the Lich's tomb and you should be able to take him out pretty quickly. Loot the tomb, including a Chant. At some later point, be sure to return to Champion Rahvan to complete his quest and receive your reward.

Take the west path through the catacombs. You will soon pass over a long bridge and enter a large room full of columns. There's a small room to the west with a little loot. To the north lies your main goal: Princess Evangeline guarded by a Dark Wizard of Valdis.

The Wizard is actually pretty easy once you figure out his defenses and pattern. Using Drown on him will make him weak to lightning and ice, so both combat and nature mages can have their way with him. Having a nature mage cast Spirit Embrace on the party to immunize against the wizard's curses would also be helpful. There are some war pedestals scattered around the room to quickly recharge powers.

The Dark Wizard will summon some giant undead to guard him, but they're not too difficult. The wizard sticks to the center platform, so draw his summons away from him and destroy them. The wizard protects himself with three revolving crystal shards. Destroy the shards (not too hard) before unloading on the wizard with everything you've got.

He teleports around the platform, but it's not large so your melee fighters never have to run far to get back to him. Still, ranged attacks are better, so a fighter-heavy party might have some difficulty.

His main attack is a large, electrical explosion. Fortunately, you can see it coming when some sparking circles show up under your characters' feet. When they appear...run. Get away or you're going to take massive amounts of lightning damage. Once you learn how to avoid that attack, the wizard is a pushover--though it will take a while to drain his health.

After he's dead, talk to Princess Evangeline. Then talk to her again after she opens the north door. If you don't have room for her in your party right now, she'll go to the Inn of Aman'lu.

Onward and upward.

[2.2.7] Chapter 7: The Siege of Snowbrook Haven================================================= After defeating one of Valdis' Dark Wizards, you were able to release Princess Evangeline. Now you must journey to Snowbrook Haven and ensure the protection of the Aegis of Blindness (another piece of the legendary Shield of Azunai). Snowbrook Haven is under siege by Valdis' armies, so you will have to use an alternate entrance.

Primary Tasks* Enter Snowbrook Haven through the servant's quarters* Find the throne room and acquire the display case key* Locate the Snowbrook Haven Commander

Secondary Quests* Evangeline's Folly* The Spirits of Aranna* Arinth's Legendary Staff* Arinth the Mad* Lelani's Sorrow

The room Evangeline opens is full of enemies, but none that are particularly tough. Clear them out, then take the elevator up to a series of crypts. Fight your way through, looting as you go, until you exit into Snowbrook Valley. Quickly fight your way to the nearby teleporter and return to Aman'lu. Time for a side quest.

Add Princess Evangeline (Eva) to your party and equip her appropriately. Teleport to the Southern Vai'lutra Forest (South) teleporter and talk to the wounded caravan guard. He'll open Evangeline's Folly quest.Teleport to the Western End of Arinth's Ravine. Go west, south, west and north to reach a bridge. Before the bridge, turn left (west) and go along the edge of the gap to reach a small cave. You may remember the password-protected door from Chapter 5.

This time you'll be able to get through and pick a fight with the Vai'kesh in the room and the room beyond, which contains the jailor, who is mini-boss level. After killing all the Vai'kesh, speak with Eva's soldier in the jail cell.

The next cavern in your quest is along the north side of Arinth's Ravine, so hoof it back the way you came and fight your way along the ravine to the large cavern on the north side. Enter the cave, find the door and repeat the process of killing the jailor and talking to the soldier.The third, and final, cave is further along the ravine, so head east. When you get to the second bridge, instead of crossing, continue east to find the entrance to the cave. Enter, kill the jailor and talk to Jessic to end the quest.

Now, reform your party, refit everyone and teleport back to Snowbrook Valley. There's nothing much to see here except snow and a lot of monsters, until you get to the bridge. After crossing the bridge, turn south to enter a Frigid Cave, where you can pick up a rainbow trinket for Tywlis in Aman'lu. Go north from the bridge and ride the elevator up to the top of the tower to get the Chant of Magic Awareness.

To the east of the tower is a set of stairs leading down to an elevator that will take you to an Elven Reliquary. Use the incantation shrine to the west, then descend and talk to the spirit to get the Jeweled Shaft. Continue following the path.

When you reach the incantation shrine, you have to turn south and start climbing. You'll soon enter the Snowbrook Foothills. If you turn east once you get into the foothills, you can climb up and find the upper part of the Frigid Cave.

Take the elevator down and thoroughly search the rooms. There's the elevator to the lower half of the cave, which exits to the Valley. There are also two secret rooms, opened by switches on the walls. They should be easy to find.

To the west of the Frigid Cave is an entrance to the Snowbrook Grotto. The Grotto is a huge cavern filled with mobs and loot, but nothing particularly special now. You'll have to come back here during Act III, so skip it for now. Continue south into the foothills to reach the area teleporter.

Side quest time again. Return to Aman'lu and go see Eolanda to get Arinth's Legendary Staff put back together. If your combat mage doesn't have the Chaos Grips, the staff is pretty good. Make sure you have a combat mage of sufficient level to use Arinth's Staff, then teleport to Eirulan and on to the Lost Valley of the Azunites.

East, and just a bit north from the teleporter, you can find--if you search carefully--an elevator among some broken-down walls. Ride it down to Some Lost Elven Ruins.

The room in which you arrive has a single door on the north side. In the next room, search for a hidden switch on the wall opposite the door (north wall), to open a door to the south.

In the newly revealed room, there's another hidden switch on the wall near the door. This opens another room to the south. The hidden switch in this new room is also near the door. This opens a room to the east. Find the hidden switch in this room along the south wall.

__ _| |_ | A | |_ _| _| |_ | |__ | S | | __| |_1____| | B| | |____ | | | | ___ |______2___| | |___ | C|______________| | | | | | 3| 4| |____________|______D | | ___| |___|

S) StartA) Switch opens door #1B) Switch opens door #2C) Switch opens door #3D) Switch opens door #4

You'll now be able to go down some stairs to the east, eventually arriving at an Elven Prison, where you find Arinth the Mad. Have your combat mage equip Arinth's Staff and use it to break the central pillar in Arinth's cell wall. Arinth will flee to the Temple of Istaura & Isteru in the Northern Vai'lutra Forest.

Before pursuing Arinth, turn and look at the door going back to the stairs. You can click the lamp on the wall to the left and open a secret door halfway back up the stairs. Enter the room to get the Mysterious Bucket, part of the Mysterious Mystery Quest.

Summon a teleporter back to Eirulan, jump to Aman'lu and thence to the Elen'lu Isles. Enter the ruined temple and have it out with Arinth. You don't have to use his staff against him, he's vulnerable to normal attacks. He has a lot of health, but is only level 25, which, by this point in the game, should be cake for you.

In addition to some tasty loot, defeating Arinth gives all your characters two bonus skill points. That was worth the trouble, right? Even though the quest is closed, head back to Eolanda and tell her you killed Arinth and you'll get even more filthy lucre. After a rest and refit, teleport back to the Snowbrook Foothills.

Head west, following the path. There's a square tower along the way, inside of which is the Chant of Ranged Skill. Eventually the path will turn north over a stone bridge and you'll reach Snowbrook Mountain. There's nothing to do, really, except fight your way over the mountain, through the Morden lines, until you reach the entrance to the Snowbrook Haven Servant's Quarters.

Fight through to the large room with the columns. At the north end of the room are two doors. The west door leads to an incantation shrine. Incant the Chant of the Dead and then go to the east door. Go up the stairs and through the south door. (The north door leads to the Cavern of Frost, to which you will return later.) Go in the east room to find Spirit of Aranna #8 and a Mysterious Chant.

Head west over the bridge and pick up the Lore book, Vol. 1: The Kings and Queens of the Northern Reaches. Continue west through the door and take the elevator down to the Living Quarters. Go through the door to the east and then either the north or south door to go down into the throne room.

Click the throne, take the display case key that is revealed, then fight off the rustguards that come to life around you. Head through the eastern door. Two rooms to the east you'll find a teleporter. South from the teleporter is an elevator. To the west of the elevator is a series of treasure rooms, one of which contains a mimic. Be sure to loot thoroughly before taking the up elevator.

The elevator leads up to the Snowbrook Haven Courtyard. Before heading up to the ramparts, enter the dining hall next to the stairs. Soldier Kiernan inside has a lovely Morden Head on a Pike, which he will be willing to trade you for your Statuette of Xeria. Finally, you can make a little progress in Lelani's Sorrow.

Go up top and speak to the Commander to begin the next (and final) chapter of Act II.

[2.2.8] Chapter 8: The Siege of Snowbrook Haven, Part II========================================================== The Aegis of Blindness, another piece of the Shield of Azunai, is safely locked away within Snowbrook Haven. However, the castle is under heavy siege and the commander needs every bit of help she can get. Aid the forces to ensure the Aegis remains in safe hands.

Primary Tasks* Destroy the brall on top of the Snowbrook Haven Inner keep* Meet the Commander at the North Gate* Destroy the Morden enemies that have broken through the North Gate* Speak to the Commander at the North Gate* Defeat the dragon* Report to the Commander* Retrieve the Aegis of Blindness* Finish off the dragon* Escape from Snowbrook Haven* Travel to the town of Kalrathia and speak with the town lord there

Secondary Quests* None

Go down and around behind the dining hall to find the door leading into the eastern keep. What follows is from the Dungeon Crawls for Dummies instruction manual. Just keep going until you reach the upper ramparts of the keep and destroy the monsters hurling rocks. Then take the elevator down to see the Commander.

A horde of Morden will break through the gates and you must beat them off. Speak to the Commander again. Oh look! A humongous dragon! The Act II boss fight has finally arrived.

Send your party back up the elevator to the Inner keep. There's a circular platform to the south with a ballista. The only way to kill the dragon is to hit it with the ballista. Take your best-armored, highest health character and use Wait mode to send him/her solo to the ballista.

You can only hit Talon (the dragon) with the ballista. And you can only do this when he's perched atop the castle walls. There are five positions in which he lands, like so:

3

2 4 B 1 5

You can rotate the ballista (B) left and right using the cranks to either side of the device. Click the ballista itself to fire. Each time you hit Talon, he'll jump into the air and fire-bomb the platform for a bit.

While he's in the air, rotate the ballista to the #3 spot, so you can quickly reposition it to any landing spot when Talon alights once more. Once you've hit Talon a couple of times, the Morden will start catapulting Durvla up to the battlements.

Switch to the Mirror party order and press R to call your party to you to help deal with the Durvla; but, don't miss a chance to take a pot shot at the dragon while you're at it.

It takes about 8 hits to kill the dragon, so this fight mostly takes a lot of patience. Once it's over, head back to the Commander and speak to her.

Ah, well, so much for Snowbrook Haven. Head up the east side of the ramparts to the Reliquary door, which you can now unlock with the Commander's key. Grab the Aegis of Blindness. Before making good on your escape, remember there is always time for some constructive looting. Exit to the northeast.Yeah...didn't see that one coming...

This time, Talon's a lot tougher. He may have less than a third of his health, but you're going to have to chop that off yourself, without a huge piece of medieval artillery to help. There's little room to avoid his fiery blasts, just don't stand in them when they hit. Keep your ranged characters moving side-to-side and keep hitting him with powers.

Once Talon is finally, actually dead, speak to that blasted Azunite Scholar who keeps popping up after you could have used his help. Take the southeast door to the teleporter room. Grab the Greater Chants of Dexterity,

Intelligence and Strength before using the teleporter to travel to Kalrathia.

Looks like the Morden got here first, but, amazingly, they aren't hostile. Head across the plaza to town hall and talk with the kid who's been thrust into the leadership role.

======================================= [2.3] DS2 Act III: The Plain of Tears=======================================

[2.3.1] Chapter 1: Restore Kalrathia's Water============================================== The occupying Morden army has disabled the system of aqueducts bringing water to Kalrathia. The town's water jars are nearly empty, and the townspeople's thirst is sapping their strength and hope. You must find a way to restore the Kalrathian water supply.

Primary Tasks* Follow the aqueduct to its source* Defeat the Ganth* Restore Kalrathia's water* Return to Lord Kalrathia in the great hall

Secondary Quests* Dwarven Song of Ore* Mark of the Assassin* The Mage's Apprentice* Lost Jewels of Soranith* Sartan's Suspicion* Mythrilhorn* The Kalrathian Nexus* The Spirits of Aranna* Lelani's Sorrow* Aman'lu Arena* Deru's Treasure Hunt

Time to take a breather and make some progress on some side quests. In the same room as Lord Kalrathia is Historian Leontia. Speak to her to open the Dwarven Song of Ore quest.

Next, go to the potions/magic shop and speak to Enchantress Valeria to continue the Mark of the Assassin quest from the previous Act. Speak to Mage Boden next to her to open the Mage's Apprentice secondary quest. Head through the weapons and armor shop to the tavern and speak to Kevarre the Explorer to begin the Lost Jewels of Soranith quest.

Next to Kevarre is Feltan the drunkard, who will open Sartan's personal quest, Sartan's Suspicion--if you have Sartan with you. Just beyond is Khartos the Strong. Speak to him to continue the quest for the Mythrilhorn. He wants you to prove yourself by dueling him. Agree to do so, then hit him a couple of times to end the "duel". He'll give you directions on where to reach the rift where he will summon a mythrilhorn.

Near the North Gate, speak to Nora the Nature Mage about the Kalrathian Nexus. Do those caverns sound familiar? They should. Now exit the North Gate to find an incantation shrine. Incant the Chant of the Dead. Head for the southwest corner of the battlements to find Spirit of Aranna #14.

Search the rooms along the north wall of Kalrathia for the Lore book: Vol. 16, The Legacy of Azunai. You'll also pick up Elves and Elven Culture. Near these rooms is Berseba, who will hook you up with the Legendary Mace of Agarrus quest.

Go up the steps along the east wall and into a room to the north. You'll find Telgrey the Scholar, who will send you questing for those Lore books you've been picking up along the way. There are 20, all identified as Lore of Aranna books with a volume number. To the west of Telgrey's house is a plank that you can use to get over to the North Wall, where you'll find a later link in Lelani's Sorrow.

Now that your quest book is full once more, time take care of some of the tasks. Teleport to Aman'lu and take the south road out of town. After the bridge, turn right into Alar'ithil's house and give him the Morden head on a pike in exchange for his bottle of Elven Water.

Go to the Inn and speak to Explorer Tai'esse about the Legendary Mace of Agarrus. Teleport to the Eastern Face of Snowbrook Mountain and enter the Servant's Quarters. When you reach the point where you turn south to go over the crosswalk, go north instead to enter the Cavern of Frost. Head down to the center of the cavern, equip the Soul Staff you received from Nora, and recite the chant she taught you (Arcesso Arcanum).

Go back to the teleporter and jump to the Snowbrook Foothills. The closest entrance to the Snowbrook Grotto is due east, though you have to go a bit north and then south to get to it. Inside the grotto, you're looking for a set of man-made steps leading down to a pair of locked doors. From the entrance nearest the Foothills teleporter, go south, then west and look for the stairs right after crossing the small bridge.

Pick up the Chants of Ranged and Magic Skill from in front of the doors, then enter the small room and pick up the stone tablet fragment. If you want to loot the Grotto, go ahead, there's plenty of swag to be had. Then teleport back to Aman'lu and go see Tai'esse again.

Now, use the portal next to the Inn (not the teleporter) to return to the Courtyard of the Temple of Xeria. Head for the secret passage you should have opened earlier as part of the Spirits of Aranna quest. The Cavern of Earth is at the end of the secret passage. Imbue the Soul Staff, then teleport to the Western Cliffs of Azunai.

Enter the Azunite Cavern to the south where you obtained the Azunite Artifact. The little island leading to the tomb of Agarrus is in the northwest corner of the cavern. If you have not previously extended the bridge, look for the switch to the south of the island. It's on the north wall of a small ruin near the bridge.

Descend into the tomb and have a talk with Guardian Magentus. You'll get quite a lengthy treatise on the Agallans and Half-giants. Once the conversation is finished, collect your reward. (Yeah, no fighting. You're probably quite disappointed.)

From here you can either hoof it to the Lost Valley of the Azunites or use the teleporter. There's not much difference in distance. Go to the south end of the Valley into the Cavern of the Phoenix and imbue your staff. Return to Kalrathia and leave through the North Gate.

Just before you reach the teleporter, look for a ruined tower to your left

(west). Push the button on the west wall of the ruins to lower the elevator and descend into Some Crumbled Ruins. Inside, trade your bottle of Elven water for Prospector Gareth's Agallan relic. Behind Gareth is a hidden switch that opens a treasure room containing the Greater Chant of Purity.

Go east from the ruined tower to a round tower with a bit of treasure on the roof. Continuing east past that tower, you will go down to a lower plateau. Keep going east and step into the lake at the end of the plateau. Turns out it's just an illusion and you'll be able to go down into a Magical Oasis.

This is the final part of Deru's Treasure Hunt. You'll need her in your party to open the chest beyond the door. Pick up the Chant of Health from beside the door, get your treasure and end Deru's quest.

Enter the square tower on the south side of the plateau and descend into a Mysterious Vault. This is the location of the Lost Jewels of Soranith. Fight your way through to the second vault and clear the room.

Great! More light puzzles.

There are five obelisks in the room, each connected by channels like so (north orientation):

_________ | | __________A____ |_____ | | | | | | |____ | | | | | | | | | | _____B_________C | | | | | | | | |____ D_____| | | | | E____| |____|

The channels are initially dark; they must be lit. When you click an obelisk, all other obelisks connected by an unlit channel start to glow. Click one of those obelisks and the channel lights up and the other obelisk becomes active. So on and so forth. Once a channel between two obelisks is lit, you can't "connect" those two obelisks again. The statue on the south side of the room resets the puzzle if you get stuck.

There's probably several solutions to this, but here's one:D - A - C - D - B - A - E - B - C

Two doors to the south will open. In the next room get Soranith's Silver Ring from a treasure chest behind the west door, then go through the south door, down the stairs and into a more complicated light puzzle.This time there are nine obelisks like so (north orientation):

_____A_______________B C_____ | | | | | | | __________| | | | | | | | | | | ___________| | | | | | | | | | | | | D |____E___________ | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | _____F_____| | | | | | | | | | | |_____G_________| | |_____ | | | | | | |_______________H___________I

Again, there are probably several solutions, here is one:H - F - I - H - G - A - D - G - E - F - C - E - B - A

The door to the south opens, collect a Mysterious Chant (Rando Conjurum Ix) and Soranith's Gold Ring. Head back up to the Northern Plain of Tears. As you work your way back to the main path, look for a separate downward path going north-northeast (to the right of the main path with the teleporter).

Head down this path to find Khartos, who will open a rift and summon a mythrilhorn while you bash monster brains. Afterwards, speak to Khartos again to send the mythrilhorn to Aman'lu.

Back to the main path, head to the Water Temple. Inside, fight the Ganth, which is resistant to fire, lightning and death damage (you know, everything your combat mage can dish out). The Ganth also has a weapon with health steal ability, so staying out of range of him is your best bet to a quick ending. Once the Ganth is dead, head up the stairs to the Temple Courtyard, where a cruise ship full of Morden await. This is a much tougher fight than the Ganth, and very chaotic. Area-of-effect powers come in quite handy.

Once everything is dead, click the glowing button on the wall to send water to Kalrathia. Jump back to town using the nearby teleporter and speak to Lord Kalrathia to begin the next quest.

[2.3.2] Chapter 2: The Morden Chief===================================== The Morden leaders will not be pleased that Kalrathia is no longer thirsty. You must travel to the Morden city of Darthrul to head off the attack that will surely come when the Morden Chief learns of what has transpired. Hopefully, you can distract the Morden long enough for the townspeople to organize a rebellion.

Primary Tasks* Enter the Morden city of Darthrul* Speak to the Morden Chief* Defeat the Morden Chief* Bring the head of the Morden Chief back to Lord Kalrathia

Secondary Quests* Mythrilhorn* Lost Jewels of Soranith* Lelani's Sorrow* The Kalrathian Nexus* Spirits of Aranna* Sartan's Suspicion* Amren's Vision* The Lore of Aranna* The Mage's Apprentice* Finala's Contempt* The Morden Riders

Secondary questing time again. Go up to the North Wall (follow the plank past Telgrey's house) and speak to Nalus. He'll give you harpy feathers in exchange for your Agallan relic. Go to the tavern and talk to Kevarre, who will give you Soranith's Amulet to complete your set.

Teleport to Aman'lu. Go see the pet seller, who will now sell you a mythrilhorn, if you so desire. In the extreme north of Aman'lu, find the fletcher Ithir'renne and give her the harpy feathers in exchange for an Aman'lu orchid. That ought to cheer Lelani up!

Teleport back to Eirulan, head for Lelani's house next to the pet shop and give her the orchid. Lelani's chain letter is finally finished and you get a rather large pile of loot. It makes one wonder, if Lelani has that much money, why couldn't she at least rent herself a little happiness?

Now your only holdovers from earlier acts are Amren's Vision, Finala's Contempt, Spirits of Aranna and the Mark of the Assassin. You'll be taking care of the first of those pretty soon. Return to Kalrathia and leave through the East Gate.

You'll soon come to a chasm where there are three paths to choose. South leads to a dead end, but there's a hidden treasure chest. Look for the lever sticking up out of a rock. North is the Kalrathian Nexus. Enter the cavern and descend to the center. Equip the Soul Staff and beat on the big, blocky seal until it's removed.

Go ahead and run back to town and talk to Nora. She'll give you the Soulstaff of the Nexus, which is a good staff for nature mages. Head back through the Eastern Plain of Tears, aiming, this time, for the teleporter. As you pass the chasm, enter the square tower to pick up the Greater Chant of Mage Health.

Just past the teleporter is Spirit of Aranna #13; there is an incantation shrine further along the path. Continuing past the ghost, if you keep on due east rather than turn north toward the shrine, you'll enter A Mysterious Cavern.

This is a step in Sartan's personal quest, so add him to your party before you go any further. Enter the cavern and loot the treasure rooms north and south. Knock on the east door and Sartan and Osric have a little sword-to-heart chat.

If Half-giants want to change the perception they are stupid oafs, they've got to stop acting like stupid oafs. So, Sartan is now tasked with freeing some prisoners, which will take place later in this chapter. Back to the main quest.

West of the incantation shrine is a square tower with the Greater Chant of Ranger Health. As you continue north, you'll enter the Ruins of Okaym. As you do, another square tower yields the Greater Chant of Fighter Health.Just north of this tower is the fourth mushroom circle, leading to the Shrine of Blindness. Take Amren down, pick up the Lore book: Vol. 20, The Path of Blindness. If you've activated the other shrines already, activating this one opens a portal in the center.

Go through the portal to another Mysterious Shrine with a big treasure chest. Amren opens it to reveal Virtuous Rebellion--a powerful longbow that will look nice on your primary ranger; and, of course, lots of other loot. Step back through the portal to the Shrine of Blindness and return to the surface.

You now have the last of the Lore of Aranna books, so if you've been collecting them diligently, you can complete this quest. The next time you are in Kalrathia, pay a visit to Telgrey. Be sure to talk to him again after completing the quest. He won't dole out your true reward the first time you talk with him. Part of the real reward is the Mysterious Book from the Mysterious Mystery Quest.

From Amren's mushroom circle, work your way east toward the next teleporter. As the path turns north, you'll pass an entrance to A Large Abandoned Shelter. This is a puzzle/treasure room with plenty of loot and XP, but no special quest significance.

Take the elevator down and go through either door into the next room. Grab a green life stone (familiar?) and go through the door and down the stairs into the main "puzzle" room, though what needs be done is not that puzzling. There are four lit pillars and four unlit pillars. Each unlit pillar has one of the four Azunite symbols on it.

You know what to do. Grab one of each color stone and put it on the proper pillar. You already have the green stone so you can light the green tree column. All you have to do is find the other three color stones.

Take the door on the north side of the light room and follow the passages around until you find a golden chalice. Picking up the chalice opens two secret doors to the east, allowing you to enter a set of hidden passages. Follow these around until you find the purple death stones and pick one up.

This will open a door back into the light room, so place your purple stone on the purple tree column and head through the south door. You'll quickly come to some caverns that run east and west. Go east first, which soon dead-ends, but contains a pile of yellow sight stones.

Go back west and follow the caverns to some more man-made rooms and follow these until you find the red blindness stones. Picking one up opens a shortcut back into the room of light.

Place your stones and a secret door opens to the main treasure room to the east. Collect your reward, which includes the Greater Chants of Mage and Ranger Power.

Back to the surface, there's a tower just ahead guarded by a nature mage sanctuary door and the Ruins of Okaym teleporter is just to the west of the tower. After the teleporter, the path turns north; but, keep going west and climb the hill to find the entrance to the Morden Arsenal that is part of Sartan's quest.

With Sartan in your party, enter the Arsenal. From the first room, take the north door for a little treasure, including a secret room. Then take the south door and go west to a larger room. The south door here leads to an empty jail cell guarded by a horde of Morden.

The main path lies west, to a large jail room. Note the spiked, metal canisters in front of the cells. Hit them with a ranged weapon or spell to blow them up and blow open the doors of the cells. Remember this technique, you will use it again.

Search the cells for a large treasure chest (Sartan has to open it). Teleport to the Eastern Plain of Tears and run to the Mysterious Cavern. Talk to Orayne to close Sartan's quest. Then teleport back to the Ruins of Okaym.

Follow the path north to the main gate of Darthrul. Right before you reach the bridge to the gate, turn left (west) and go around the guard tower and down into the dry canal. Follow the canal west and then up some stairs and then down into Some Ancient Ruins.

Oh boy! Another light puzzle!

The statue on the north side of the room is missing its mirror; the golden one Mage Boden gave you fits quite nicely and starts the beam of light. There are two doors, to the north and west, and you must shine the light on each to open it. There are 17 statues in all, scattered about the room.The north door is simple, direct the light south one statue, west one statue, south one statue, east one statue and then north to unlock the door.

Door | | 1 | | 3-------------2 | | | | | | | | | | | | 4----------5

The west door is a bit more complicated.

Direct the light all the way to the south end of the room, to the fourth statue. NOTE You will have to turn statues out of the way to let the light pass. Send the light east one statue, then north one statue, then west three statues. Now direct the beam south one statue, east two statues, south one statue then west and move all the intervening statues out of the way until the light hits the west door.

1 | X |X 5------------|---4 | | | 6------------|---|--------------7 |X | | | | | | | | Door------------------|---|--------------8 X X X| | X | | | | 2---3X = Statues that must be turned out of the way to let the light beam pass.

Beyond the west door is a treasure room. Behind the north door is Mage Boden's apprentice, Darek. Turns out Boden is a nasty guy.

Gee, what a surprise.

Grab the Greater Chant of Casting and Greater Chant of Fighter Power and head back to the main gate into Darthrul. Talk to the gate guard to be allowed entrance.

You didn't really think it was going to be that easy, did you?

Well, you've got a whole city to chunk, might as well get started. The first Morden you'll meet in the city is the Patrol Leader from back in Kalrathia. He already has a bone to pick with you, so give him what he deserves. He'll drop a Key to the District of the Sword.

Ah! So that's how it works. There are five districts: Sword, Crossbow, Lance, Shield and Chief. You'll have to slaughter your way through each one to get the key to the next. You can also continue Finala's Contempt while in Darthrul, and receive and complete The Morden Riders side quest.

Lots to do. Lots to do.

In the main square you'll see a ghost, but you can't talk to it until you unlock the District of the Crossbow and its incantation shrine. The main square also has the city's teleporter, so take a refit break in Aman'lu before you begin depopulating Darthrul. While back in town, go ahead and confront Boden and kill him, then speak to Darek who mysteriously appears to wrap up The Mage's Apprentice quest.

Back in Darthrul, with Finala in your party, head east from the main square toward the white star on your map. Finala will find a secret door that leads to the Durvla hatchery. Clear the joint. When you reach the end, there are three (count 'em, 3) mini-bosses. In the corner is a cage with a treasure chest. Note the spiked ball--you have to blow the cage open.

Let Finala loot the chest to earn a Morden Wrench, which, she supposes, could be used to fix an elevator somewhere. You won't find that elevator in Darthrul, so you can send Finala back to the Inn now if she isn't normally a member of your party.

You have the key to the District of the Sword, which is located in the northeast quadrant of the city. Enter and kill the City Lieutenant for the key to the District of the Crossbow.

That district is the southwest quadrant. Once again, enter and kill the City Lieutenant, who drops the key to the District of the Lance. Note the supply vault with a door you cannot open. Use the incantation shrine to talk to the ghost in the town square; this is Spirit of Aranna #16.

The District of the Lance is in the northwest and the City Lieutenant drops the key to the District of the Chief. Aha! What about the District of the Shield? Search the small rooms along the north side of the district for a hidden switch that lowers you to a cellar. There's another Lieutenant down here with the key to the District of the Shield.

The District of the Shield is to the southeast. Enter it and clear it out. There's a room along the west side with a mimic, so be careful opening chests. Along the south side of the district is a pit. Look for a hidden switch on the west wall that lowers an elevator and allows you entrance to the eastern end of the dry canal.

Head east and climb up to an area outside the city walls. Fight your way to the eastern end of this area and talk to the Morden riders Nordax and Nellioc. This is, probably, the most humorous conversation in the entire game. Play along with these guys. Finally, you will discover they are deserters in need of supplies. Agree to help them to open the Morden Riders quest.

Go back to the city and raid the supply vaults in the Districts of the Crossbow, Lance and Shield. This gives you the supplies you need for the Riders, so return to them. Rather than give you a reward directly, their pet Klask bashes open the east wall, giving you access to an Ancient Vault. Get your reward from there; it includes the Greater Chant of Fortification.

Return to Darthrul and enter the District of the Chief to the north. Fight your way to the Chief, speak to him; then kill him. Return to Kalrathia and talk to Lord Kalrathia to start Chapter 3.

[2.3.3] Chapter 3: The Kalrathian Rebellion============================================= Your victory within the Morden city of Darthrul has inspired the townspeople of Kalrathia to take up arms against the Morden occupiers. You must help Kalrathia overthrow the Morden oppressors

Primary Tasks* Defeat all the Morden in the town of Kalrathia* Report to Tehruth

Secondary Quests* None

Well, this is pretty simple. You just wiped out a whole city of Morden, now all you have to do is clear them out of Kalrathia. There are 30 Morden, and the game will count them down for you. Zoom in on your map to find the little red dots, and don't forget about the North Wall, where there are about six Morden. Once they are all dead (you'll get a task entry in your Quest log), return to the great hall and speak to Tehruth.

[2.3.4] Chapter 4: The Mines of Kaderak========================================= Now that you have helped the Kalrathian rebellion defeat the occupying Morden army, you must turn your will on acquiring the Aegis of Life, the final piece of Azunai's Shield--the very fragment you helped Valdis acquire during the Siege of Greilyn Beach. With the majority of Valdis' forces committed to his campaign on Snowbrook Haven, there are only the Dark Wizards to stand in your way. And that means you must gain entrance to the Mines of Kaderak, an ancient network of caverns riddled with ley lines. This is the source of Valdis' supply of shards, and the area is heavily mined for this purpose.

Primary Tasks* Travel to the Desert of Kaderak* Destroy the first protective statue* Destroy the second protective statue* Destroy the third protective statue* Destroy the fourth protective statue* Enter the Mines of Kaderak

Secondary Quests* Finala's Contempt

Lord Kalrathia gives you the Aegis of Sight and tells you where to go look for the Aegis of Life--you know, the one Valdis stole at the beginning of the game. Tehruth gives you a teleporter activation stone that allows you to

teleport to the desert near the Mines of Kaderak.

Refit your party and teleport to the Southern Desert of Kaderak. You'll soon arrive at a large plateau with a stone fort in the center guarding the entrance to the mines. In order to gain entrance to the mines you have to destroy the four statues maintaining a mystical shield. They are easy enough to destroy, though the numerous mobs surrounding them may prove a bit more difficult.

There are three paths off the plateau. The east path leads to a dead end with nothing but some mobs to fight. The west path leads to some ruins on two levels. Search the corners of the first, upper, set of ruins for the Greater Chant of Melee Awareness. Search the corners of the second, lower, set of ruins for the Greater Chant of Ranged Awareness. Both chants are hard to see. At the extreme western edge of the plateau, find the rock with a lever on it to reveal a hidden chest.

From the Mines entrance, take the north path and you'll eventually find an unmarked teleporter and a broken elevator. Use the teleporter to add Finala to your party, if necessary, and have her fix the elevator and take it down to a Large Morden Intelligence Camp. Clear out the camp and let Finala loot the treasure chest to end her quest.

Use the teleporter outside to jump back to the Southern Desert, break the statues and enter the Mines of Kaderak. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, you'll see a long cutscene showing the miners in action...

[2.3.5] Chapter 5: The Mines of Kaderak, Part II================================================== You have entered the Mines of Kaderak where the Dark Wizards live and where the evil crystal shards that produce the Shard Souls are mined. You must destroy the giant shard clusters and locate the Dark Wizards.

Primary Tasks* Destroy the giant shard cluster* Find the Dark Wizards* Destroy the Dark Wizards* Recover the Aegis of Life* Return to Lord Kalrathia with the Aegis of Life

Secondary Quests* Mark of the Assassin* Dwarven Song of Ore* Vix's Vengeance* Spirits of Aranna

Your primary job is to roll the cart of explosives into the shard. Of course, there are a number of side quests to complete while you're at it. Beware of all the red barrels around the mines. They're explosive. Send a bow/crossbow ranger, solo, ahead to shoot at them. Do NOT attempt to fight anywhere near them.

Your first order of business is to cross the bridge and head up the stairs. At the top, enter the first door and clear the room. Look for the lever along the back wall to open a secret room. You'll find the Dwarven Mythril Ring in the gold chest. Clear out the rest of the rooms on the upper level, then go back down to the "main floor".

Head east and cross the next bridge. Pull the lever to move the mine cart. Continue east, past the teleporter--Upper Mines of Kaderak (West)--and over the bridge. Pull the next lever. (The side rooms here all contain little bits of loot, nothing exciting yet.) East again, over the bridge and pull the third lever.

The side room here has a health shrine, and the next one along the path has a gold chest with the Silver stanza of the Dwarven Song of Ore. East some more, over the bridge, pull the lever, through the door and pull the fifth lever.

Go up the stairs. There are a couple of treasure rooms up here, one of which contains the Greater Chant of Magic Awareness. Go down the stairs and across the bridge to the second teleporter--Upper Mines of Kaderak (East).

Pull the lever next to the teleporter and head up the stairs. Through the doors, head up the stairs to your left (west) and you'll find Spririt of Aranna #15 and a gold chest with the Iron stanza of the Dwarven Song of Ore. There's an incantation shrine across the flying bridge to the east.

Go back down and follow the main path east. After crossing the bridge, pull the next two levers and the mine cart finally runs into the large shard and everything goes boom. Pass through to the area with the partial bridge, which has an elevator at the end.

To the right (south) is a set of three rooms. Go into the west room and pull the lever to reveal a hidden room with a gold chest that contains the Gold stanza of the Dwarven Song of Ore. To the east of the bridge is a small area with some loot. Once you've cleared all the rooms, ride the elevator down, then climb the ramps at the north end and enter the Lower Mines.

When you reach the first large open area, there are paths to the north and east. The path to the east leads to Vix's personal quest, so add him to your party, if necessary, and go east. Vix will break through the door and you'll enter a series of mining tunnels and caverns.

The objective is simple: destroy three shards by rolling mine carts into them. At each mine cart, pull a lever to re-orient the tracks; then pull another lever to send the cart on its way. There are a lot of mobs to kill, lots of loot to be gained and several side areas that deserve exploration, though they don't contain anything special. Don't forget the main treasure chest after the last shard is destroyed.

Head back to the Lower Mines and continue north until you reach the teleporter. Go south from the teleporter to find a treasure chest with the lost Mythril stanza of the Dwarven Song of Ore. Return to Kalrathia and speak to Historian Leontia and receive your reward, which will include both the Chant of Prosperity and the Greater Chant of Prosperity.

(If you had previously gone to see Leontia after finding the first three stanzas, you can still go back and give her the Mythril stanza and get the additional rewards.)

While you're in town, go see enchantress Valeria, who will turn your Dwarven Mythril Ring into the Dwarven Mythril Ring of Sight. Equip the ring and go to the room behind the Innkeeper. Talk to Merchant Kendril, and Luun, the assassin, will appear and attack. Kill him and take his Deathblades, which are a nice set for your dual-wielder. Talk to Kendril again to get a little extra reward.

That should close out every secondary quest in your logs except the Spirits

of Aranna. So, main questing time! Teleport back to the Lower Mines and head east. A short bit of hack-n-slash later, you reach the elevator that takes you to another elevator that takes you to your boss fight against the Dark Wizards.

These guys are more powerful versions of the one you faced when rescuing Evangeline--and there are three of them. Make sure you have a Nature Mage with the Resurrection spell or lots of Resurrection scrolls available.

Tactics are roughly the same. Take out the crystals that defend the wizards; then unload on them with powers. When you see circles (of lightning, death or fire) surrounding your characters, run! Concentrate on one wizard at a time. Fortunately, these guys don't summon anything, and they don't do a lot to help each other out.

Stick to one like glue until he's toast, then move on to the next one. Keep an eye out for those circles of doom at your feet and be patient. They are susceptible to curses, so having a combat mage with a decent curse or two will be helpful. And you can have your nature mage cast Spirit Embrace to make your party immune to the wizards' curses.

When all three are dead, take the Aegis of Life and return to the Lower Mines and teleport back to town. Lord Kalrathia is ill and in bed in his room on the west side of the great hall. Speak to him to learn how, now that you have the four pieces, you can reforge the Shield of Azunai.

[2.3.6] Chapter 6: The Agallan Trial====================================== Now that you have all four fragments of Azunai's legendary shield, you must make your way to the fabled Agallan Giants to persuade them to reforge the Shield. Lord Kalrathia believes that they can be reached if you are able to get through an ancient chamber beneath the town known as the Agallan Trial.

Primary Tasks* Speak to Advisor Kynos* Defeat Advisor Kynos* Take the Kalrathian Crystal to the fountain in the center of the town of Kalrathia* Enter the ancient chamber underneath the town of Kalrathia* Speak to the Azunite Ancestor* Restore water to the western waterway* Restore water to the northern waterway* Restore water to the southern waterway* Restore water to the eastern waterway* Go through the portal to the Agallan Peaks

Secondary Quests* Spirits of Aranna

Your first task is to speak to Advisor Kynos, who no one in their right mind would like. Fortunately, you get to kill him. You'll get the Kalrathian Crystal that unlocks the Agallan Trial under the city. You also get Kynos' house key; he lives in the north section of town if you want to help yourself to his things. He won't be needing them any longer.

*NOTE* From this point, it is a long time until you see your next teleporter--about a quarter of the way through Chapter 8. You can use the town portal spell (Summon Teleporter), but those don't last through a reload. So don't

start this next section unless you have some time to play. If you quit any time before the next teleporter, you're going to have a long, long trek in front of you.

Use the crystal on the glowing corner of the fountain, then press any of the buttons to ride down into the Agallan Trial area. Down the steps you go until you reach a large room and get a cutscene with your instructions. Talk to the Azunite Ancestor, then head through the west door.

Down more stairs...and more...and some more. When you finally hit bottom, go down into the water trough and pull the lever to open the sluice gate. Then turn the valve to start the water in the western waterway. Go through the broken wall into a tunnel.

The tunnel soon branches north and south. You can go either way, but, since the Quest Log lists the northern waterway next, head north. When you get back into the man-made section, look for a Mysterious Chant in the corner.

Note the three large stone controllers at the edge of the platform. These control floodgate doors down below. You have to activate them in various combinations to enable your party to get through to unblock the waterway and turn on the water. Each of the floodgate controllers has a center "button" that is either up or down.

The easiest thing to do is to enter Wait mode and send one character down and keep the others next to the controllers. It's easier to move one character around in the small rooms.

For the northern puzzle, set the controllers so the Center controller button is down and the other two are up. Go down into the waterway, open the gate and turn on the water. Go into the northwest room and around to the northeast room. Hit the switch in here so it is up and open the way to the south room. Push the switch in the south room down to open the way to the east platform.

On the platform, push the button on the east wall to open part of a shortcut to the southern/eastern waterway. Then go to the south end of the platform, enter the waterway and open the gate. This is actually for the eastern waterway, but might as well do it now.

Then go back into the northern waterway and open the second gate. The water should be running freely now. Go up onto the northern platform, reform your party (if you went solo), enter the room to the west and push the button on the wall to open a door back to the west waterway. Enter the tunnel and go south.

Along the way you'll encounter Spirit of Aranna #17. The incantation shrine is just to the east of the ghost. When you reach the southern waterway, open two gates and then turn on the water.

Go up on the platform and push each controller down, enter Wait mode and send your PC down into the waterway and open the gate. Enter the southeast corner room and thence into the southwest corner. Set this switch down and exit the room to open the last two gates to let the water run through.

Go back into the southwestern corner room and set the switch up to open the door north. Push this next switch down to open the north door and go through and open the gate. Return to the northwest room.

Here's where it get's much easier to do this in Wait mode. You have to turn the two switches up on the platform to the up position. This opens the way to

get from the northwest room over to the northeast section of the waterway and open the last two gates and turn on the water. So you just change to another character, hit the two switches on the platform and you're home free.

If you haven't used the solo trick, here's what you have to do. Hit the switch in the northwest room to get to the southwest room. Hit the switch to open the door into the southern waterway. Go up to the platform and hit both switches. Go back to the southwest room, hit the switch, enter the northwest room and hit the switch and now you can get through.

For the record, to the north of the eastern water valve is a platform with a mana shrine (and a Mysterious Chant behind the shrine). At the west end of this platform is the button on the wall that opens the shortcut to the north platform, which you'll need to use if you did not previously open that last east gate.

To quickly get back to the stairs leading up, return through the south waterway and enter a room to the north and push the button on the wall to open a shortcut to the western waterway. Head up the stairs, through the big door, collect your loot and go through the portal.

[2.3.7] Chapter 7: The Agallan Giants======================================= The Shield of Azunai must be reforged if Valdis is to be defeated. The only beings who have the power to do this are the Agallan Giants, if they truly exist.

Primary Tasks* Investigate the Agallan Peaks* Use the portal to travel to Zaramoth's Horns

Secondary Quests* None

Nothing to do here but go talk to the giants. You can pick up a book, "The Meaning of the Obelisks" in the first long hall. After your chat, step through the new portal and get ready to start fighting again...

[2.3.8] Chapter 8: Zaramoth's Horns===================================== Valdis and his Archmage are leading the armies from within Zaramoth's Horns, one of the most secure fortresses built by the followers of Zaramoth before the great cataclysm. If the Agallans are correct, you should find Valdis and his Archmage at the top of the mountain.

Primary Tasks* Ascend to the top of the mountain* Defeat the Archmage

Secondary Quests* Spirits of Aranna

Enter the hall to the east and fight your way to an elevator. You may note some Eyes of Zaramoth statues scattered about. Hitting them causes them to shoot a highly damaging beam of light. This technique is not important now, but will be later.

The elevator takes you down into a prison, where you quickly come to another elevator that takes you up to a platform with three other elevators. The Agallan Obelisk in the center of the platform grants 30 seconds of invulneratiblity when used. Your party must be close by to be affected, so Regroup around the obelisk before clicking.

The southwest elevator leads to a treasure room with the Chant of Power. The northeast elevator leads to ranged and melee sanctuary doors and an incantation shrine where you can use your shiny new Chant. The northwest elevator takes you to nature and combat mage sanctuary doors and another elevator that puts you back on the main path, right at the Lower Zaramoth's Horns teleporter.

Yay!

You can now quit and take a potty break. When you're ready to continue, head north from the teleporter. After the long bridge is a room with three doors. North and west are small treasure rooms. Go east and keep fighting your way until you get outside. Just past the bridge, to the south, is the final Spirit of Aranna. An incantation shrine is just a little way to the west.

In this area there's a secret room with a mimic in the southeast. Look for the lever on the back side of a nearby column. There's another secret room to the south side of the incantation platform shrine, find the button on the wall and collect the Chant of Chaotic Skill inside.

That's it. There are no more side areas. No more side quests. Take the southern door and begin a long (and possibly arduous) slaughterfest until you reach the archmage. There's a teleporter right before you enter the Archmage's Chamber. This is the last teleporter in the game. If you quit the game, or your entire party dies, after this point, you will have to return here and do everything again (except for the Archmage fight).

The archmage fight takes place on a platform surrounded by obelisks. You can use the obelisks yourself, but the archmage uses them too and therein lies the problem. On his own, the archmage is not that difficult. He's got 90,000 health, but he won't do much damage to your party.

The missiles he summons out of the obelisks are something else entirely. Every so often, the archmage will "convert" an obelisk to his own use and it will start firing out missiles. These missiles are instant death for any character they touch. They move slowly, so you can dodge them, but if the archmage converts a lot of obelisks, you're in big trouble.

Make sure you have a nature mage with a resurrection spell and some rez scrolls for the other characters in case the nature mage bites the dust. You can "redeem" an obelisk the archmage has converted by attacking the obelisk. However, in the long run, you are better off simply unloading every power in your book on the archmage himself.

This is likely to be the longest, most difficult battle yet. Once he's defeated, the final battle is waiting at the top of the stairs.

[2.3.9] Chapter 9: The Final Ascent===================================== It has been a long and challenging journey and you can honestly say you are no longer the same person as you were when you fought for Valdis as a mercenary. Ever since you were taken prisoner by the Dryads of Eirulan, the course of your life has brought you ever

closer to this moment. You have achieved the impossible--found and re-united the fragments of the legendary Shield of Azunai and convinced the Agallan Giants to reforge it using Drevin's medallion as a centerpiece. You now have the power to defeat Valdis and free Aranna from his tyranny if you are ready to face the challenge.

Primary Tasks* Locate the Temple of Valdis* Destroy Valdis* Go through the portal

But wait! First you have to battle through another horde of minions. At this point, you're probably wondering, "What's the point?" Persevere, the end is near.

But not that near. You've got a lot of stairs to climb, and every inch is contested--many times by groups of mini-bosses. If you've been following this guide and done every sidequest, you're probably running four to five levels above everything you encounter, so this is mostly tedious.

On the other hand, if you're hovering around level 40, you're in for a long night. You would be better served, before attempting this ascent, going back to town and finding some good respawn areas to gain a few levels. Make sure you've wrapped up all the secondary quests. Do whatever needs be done to get yourself a few more levels and some additional gear.

You'll need it.

*NOTE* It cannot be stressed enough that if you quit or die here, you have to make this ascent again and all the mobs respawn.

It ain't pretty. Don't die and don't quit.

When you finally reach the Temple of Valdis, it is remarkably (and comfortingly clear). Open a town portal and hie thee back to Kalrathia for a refit. Make sure you have rez scrolls for everybody. Lots of potions. Etc.

Continue into the temple until you meet Valdis. Don't try to attack him, he's invulnerable. The only way to hurt him is to lure him in front of one of the Eyes of Zaramoth placed on the edges of the room, then beat on the eye to open it (and they don't have great range). Conversely, Valdis can kill you quite easily. No matter how well you've outfitted your party, one sword combo from Valdis and they all turn into grave markers.

The best way to handle Valdis is to get beyond an Eye in a straight line from Valdis, so that he is forced to walk directly past the Eye you're near. Time it so your ranger starts attacking the Eye when Valdis is about three to four steps away (or two or five, depending on the damage your ranger can do). If you time it right, Valdis will get zapped before he even gets close enough to you to start swinging.

For example:

Eye

Valdis

X - start shooting the Eye when Valdis is here

Eye

You

It will take patience and practice, but once perfected, you can take Valdis out pretty easily. You have to hit him three times to advance to the next stage of the fight. After the first hit, Valids summons a horde of Qatall Minions. Take them out while staying away from Valdis, then re-commence the luring/zapping project.

After the third hit, you get the Fantasy RPG Plot Twists for Idiots cutscene and the fight against Valdis takes on a more traditional flavor. Valdis is now, essentially, just another boss character. He's got 90,000 health and he can regenerate, so you don't want to leave him alone for a long time.

Don't worry about falling into the lava, if your characters are reasonably well-equipped, you won't get hurt (much). Just don't go swimming in it. Lay into Valdis with everything you've got.

Valdis has four main attacks:

* A shockwave that will throw your characters back. Not a huge problem, even if you fall in the lava. However, if your party is melee-heavy, it will push the fighters off Valdis for a few seconds, during which he can regenerate. Don't worry about the shockwave and just keep at him

* He will bring rocks crashing down. This is (or should be) a non-issue. A few rocks shouldn't hurt you, but, if they're giving you fits, just watch for the enlarging shadows and run away.

* A gigantic fireball. This one's dangerous. Fortunately, Valdis starts to glow yellow before releasing it, and he won't change his orientation once he starts the spell. So, as soon as Valdis begins to glow yellow, run behind him and attack his back while he blasts empty air with pretty lights.

* More a defensive maneuver than an attack, Valdis will clone himself, giving himself time to regenerate while you attack a clone. However, the clones don't react to attacks--they don't physically react and they don't make any noise. So if you hit a Valdis and it doesn't do anything, go attack another one.

Once you take off one-third of his health, he summons a horde of Qatall Minions. By this point, Qatall Minions should be little more trouble than flies. Don't worry about them and concentrate on Valdis.

When Valdis reaches 0 health, he revives and summons a shield around himself. (So, why didn't he do this earlier?) You can't penetrate the shield, but the great big Eye of Zaramoth that was just revealed, can. This one's easy because Valdis doesn't have his sword. Stand in front of the eye, wait for Valdis to get close, then whack it. Brutal Strike or Take Aim (or some other high-damage, single strike power) works very well.

After the cutscenes you can return to Kalrathia and finish up whatever you've left hanging. This would be a good time to do The Mysterious Mystery Quest. You can also arrange your companions and equipment for playing at the next difficulty level. One thing you might want to do now is visit a store and buy some 0-level bows, swords and spells. If you want to do a little multi-classing at the higher difficulty levels, you won't be able to buy any 0-level gear to get you started. So buy it now and stick it in your Storage Vault or on a pet at the Inn.

=========================== [2.4] Broken World Part 1===========================

[2.4.1] Chapter 1: Kanred the Mage==================================== After learning that Valdis was merely the Dark Wizard's puppet, you watched in shock as the Dark Wizard escaped with Azunai's Shield.

For the last year, you have traveled across Aranna and are determined that the Dark Wizard will not get away again.

You arrived late last night at a Dryad Outpost in the foothills near Aman'lu, and awoke early in the morning to the sound of voices arguing. After leaving your tent, you met Burk, a Human refugee involved in the argument.

Primary Tasks* Speak with Burk.* Find Kanred the Mage and try to reason with him.* Defeat Kanred the Mage.* Return to Burk at the Dryad Outpost.

Secondary Quests* Hunt for the Lost Dwarves* Missing* Lumilla's Special Recipe* Naturalist Ithara's Research* Anya

You begin in a Dryad Outpost somewhere in the wilderness. Standing right in front of you (with that nice little question mark floating over his head) is Burk. His brother, Kanred, is a mage gone mad. The Dryads are out to kill Kanred and Burk wants you to find him first. This kicks off your first primary quest.

Spend some time exploring the Outpost. You'll find these are the Dryads from Eirulan, and you'll discover the fate of Greilyn Isle. You'll meet old friends such as Celia and Kirani, who all hate you now. Boy, isn't that a change! You'll also find hanging around, not doing much, any henchmen NPCs from DS2 that you had not hired (or released from the Inn). There's an Innkeeper who will bring up your party inventory, which will have all pets and henchmen from DS2 you left there.

There's one new "merchant" in the Outpost, a trainer, Vireni. She will, for a fee, reset all skill points of any character in your active party. This will allow you to "fix" a broken character or re-purpose a character. For example, you decide you want your sword & shield fighter to dual wield, you can reset skill points and put more points into the dual wield tree and none into the shield skills. Or you want your bowman to be a throwing weapons ranger. Etc. Vireni can be found on the east side of the bridge and has a blue, curved arrow over her head.

On the west side of the Outpost is the teleporter and your storage vault, which still has all your old stuff from DS2. (You can't teleport from the Outpost to previous locations in DS2, they are separate games.) And, there are a few secondary quests you can pick up as well.

Talk to the dwarf, Yoren, to get the quest "Hunt for the Lost Dwarves". Lumilla, the enchantress, will introduce you to reagent recipes, a new feature in Broken World. Reagent recipes are special combinations of enchantable items and reagents that produce a more powerful unique item when used together. Lumilla will also put you on a quest for three reagents for one of her special recipes.

Soram is a man missing his wife; he'll set you on a quest to find her. Finally, Ithara is a naturalist who wants to study some of the new "bound" creatures that have begun to appear since the breaking of the world. (The breaking caused by you, just in case the Dryads don't mention it often enough.)

Also in the outpost, near the south gate, is an F&K Society representative. This guy serves two purposes. First, you can buy items from him by giving him the Agallan Tablets you will find as you adventure. Give him a tablet and he will give you a choice of several items. These items are all Crossover unique or set items (see lists later in this guide). Second, the F&K Society ruins all sense of immersion in the game by talking openly of transferring items to the PSP game, Dungeon Siege II: Throne of Agony. Anyway, he'll give you the codes you need to transfer items, or accept codes so you can receive items.

When you're set, go through the south gate of the Outpost into the Blasted Valley. You'll quickly run into a merchant, Tomas, who will give you another quest. His partner, Anya, went mad (a recurring theme in Broken World), attacked him and made off with his backpack of trade goods. He wants you to get the backpack; Anya he's not so concerned about.

Continue south, making sure to explore the map thoroughly. There are lots of little cul-de-sacs branching off from the main path. These cul-de-sacs usually contain a reagent or reagent recipe, so it's worth the time to make sure you're clearing the whole map to the edges.

You will also find, during your trek, Anya's encampment. It's to your left (east) after you go over the bridge south of the first teleporter (Blasted Valley North). Kill her and her cronies and you'll automatically get Tomas' backpack added to your Quest Items.

You'll also discover some caves that are currently blocked and one cave that is not blocked. This cave entrance is south of the second teleporter, Blasted Valley (South). It's right before you move from Blasted Valley to Blighted Hills. Turn left (east) and work your way back into the woods to find the entrance to an Abandoned Mine. Walk to the back of the mine to automatically gain a clue for Yoren's Lost Dwarves quest.

Continue south until you find Kanred. Kanred is your first boss fight and reveals what will become a typical pattern. One of his attacks is to teleport into the center of your group and release a powerful, radial magic attack. This attack is almost certain death for your mages and will put a serious hurt on rangers and some fighters. When he teleports into your midst, run. Then turn and pound on him. Beyond the teleport attack, Kanred isn't that dangerous, with very average magic attacks.

After Kanred is dead, return to the Outpost and speak to Burk. Part of your reward is Kanred's staff, repaired, which will now allow you to open some of those caverns south of the Outpost.

[2.4.2] Chapter 2: The Mage's Tutor

===================================== When you returned to Burk at the Outpost, you learned that the same grandmaster mage who tutored Kanred was there while you were gone.

Thinking it likely that this may be the Dark Wizard's latest disguise, you immediately set off to find him.

Primary Tasks* Use Kanred's staff on the magic sealing the cave in the Blighted hills.* Find and confront Kanred's tutor.* Defeat the Morden Gral rogue mage.* Speak to Sentinel Kirani to get directions to Aman'lu.

Secondary Quests* The Ancient Tome* Hunt for the Lost Dwarves* Morden Redemption* Morden Ravagers* Greylok of the Kurgan

Back at the Dryad Outpost, talk to Yoren about the clue you found and then add him to your party. Leave by the south gate and talk to Tomas to end his quest. He now becomes a very good merchant--he'll sell you all the enchantable items you need to make reagent recipes (but not reagents, you'll have to find those or buy them from the arcanist).

Continue south to the Blasted Valley (North) teleporter and head almost due west to one of the blocked caverns you passed by earlier. With Kanred's staff, you can now go through into the cave. Deeper in will be a north branch; at the end of the branch you'll see a glowing book on the floor. Click it and choose to pick it up, entering "The Ancient Tome" quest into your journal.

Go back to the teleporter and jump ahead to Blighted Hills (North). Go north, over the bridge, then turn east and find the Abandoned Mine you explored earlier. Go to the corner where you found the clue and Yoren will find a secret door. Click the now glowing symbol on the wall to open the door. Pick up the glowing book inside to get an update to the Lost Dwarves.

That's all you can do with Yoren right now, so return to the Outpost if you want to replace him. While you're at the Outpost, find Mage Nari in the northeast sector, across from the Innkeeper. Talk to her to fill in "The Ancient Tome". Return to the Blighted Hills (North) teleporter and open the cave entrance to the east.

Follow this Dusty Cavern until you enter the Kelvaran Waste. You will quickly come to a teleporter (Kelvaran Waste West) with a dryad nearby. Talk to the dryad, Jorena, to open "Greylok of the Kurgan". Then continue into the Waste.

Along the way, before you reach the next teleporter, you'll find a camp of peaceful Morden. Speak to their leader, Lorksul, to open the "Morden Redemption" quest. Continue east until you reach the Kelvaran Waste (Central) teleporter. Jump back to the Dryad Outpost and find the dryad quartermaster in the northeast corner. She'll give you some poisoned bread.

Teleport back to Kelvaran Waste (Central) and go south to find a Ravager camp. Depopulate it. At the extreme southern end is a mini-boss fight with a lot of minions. Get up on the platform the mini-boss is on (or was on, if he jumped down to fight you). There are doors in the east and west walls that

will lead up to the platform. Grab the vial of blood.

Return north to the teleporter and then head west to the peaceful Morden camp. Talk to Lorksul. You can give him the poisoned bread, or not, it makes no difference in the final outcome. He'll then ask you to obtain a vial of the Overmage's blood. Lucky you! You already have it. Give it to him, watch the cutscene, then talk to him again to end the quest.

Continue east through the Waste. You're now looking for a plateau to the north of the main path. Up on the plateau is a cave entrance that you can't enter and a glowing trap on the ground out front. Click the trap to place the meat you got from Jorena and you will be swarmed by Kurgan. Kill them, including the mini-boss, Greylok.

Then go east some more to your Chapter 2 boss fight against Kikrak. This fight is almost identical to the one against Kanred, except Kikrak has a Familiar. Kill the Familiar first (you have to kill it twice, and watch for the explosion after you kill it the first time). Make sure you run away when Kikrak teleports inside your party. After the Familiar is dead, Kikrak himself should be a piece of cake.

Walk back to the Kelvaran Waste (East) teleporter nearby and teleport to Kelvaran Waste (West). Talk to Jorena to end the Greylok quest, then teleport back to the Dryad Outpost.

[2.4.3]Chapter 3: In Search of Celia====================================== As you suspected, Kanred's tutor turned out to be the Cinbri you knew as the Dark Wizard. He is now calling himself the 'Overmage' and told you his plans to return his people to Aranna.

He asked for your help, but instead you swore to gather the Elves and oppose him. However, he revealed that the Elves have already fallen before him.

Now, you are desperate to get to Aman'lu and find out what happened to your hometown. However, Sentinel Kirani told you that the path to Aman'lu is sealed and only Warden Celia can open it.

She agrees to give you the password to the area in which Celia is currently hunting another rogue mage so you can talk to Celia yourself.

Primary Tasks* Give the password Kirani taught you to the Guardian statue in Arinth's Heights.* Find Warden Celia.* Destroy Celeb'hel the Rogue Mage.* Convince Warden Celia to open the path to Aman'lu.

Secondary Quests* Missing* The Ancient Tome* The Human Refugees

Find Kirani in the domed structure on the east side of camp and speak to her. She'll give you a password that will allow you to pass Dryad Guardian Statues that block entrances with vines. Refit your party and teleport to Blasted Valley (South).

Head north, over the bridge, then west to a cave blocked with the glowing lights. In the back of the cave is a vine-blocked door. Use your password on the statue to enter a large room containing Eliza (Soram's wife), who is now a bound creature (and a mini-boss one at that). Defeat her and her minions; then open the sanctuary doors around the room. There are four, one for each main class and each requiring level 36 in that class.

Venture back to the Blasted Valley (South) teleporter and continue south into the Blighted Hills. As you enter the Hills, before crossing the bridge, go west to a cavern blocked with the vines and statue. Use your password to get in and loot the place. There's nothing quest-related in here, but there are a lot of goodies.

Teleport back to the Outpost and visit Soram in the southeast corner. He'll be rather upset that you killed his wife and will fight you. When you reduce his health, he surrenders and thereafter refuses to speak to you. Wow. Really breaks you up, doesn't it? And, oh yeah, he doesn't drop any reward.

Nice guy.

Now it's time to explore the environs north of the Outpost. Leave by the north gate and enter Arinth's Gorge. You'll go over a bridge, then down into a gully and under that same bridge. As you go north, you'll go down a couple of ramps. At the bottom of the ramps, look for a little cul-de-sac to the southeast (your right). At the end is a broken mana shrine. Click it to obtain the mana-infused stone you need for Mage Nari's "Ancient Tome" quest.

Continue north, past the Arinth's Gorge teleporter, to a vine-blocked cave. Use the password to enter the Hak'u Tunnels. Beyond is Arinth's Heights. This is a long, relatively straight climb with three teleporters along the way (Lower, Upper and Summit).

About halfway between the Lower and Upper teleporters, you'll see a dryad hanging about along the west side of the path. She has the distinctive orange exclamation point over her head, so talk to her to do "The Human Refugees". The canyon you need to clear is right behind the dryad, so you can wrap this up immediately. Blast your way through the bound dryads until you find the lone surviving human. Talk to him, then return to Rena to complete the quest.

Continue to the summit of Arinth's Heights, where you encounter another mage gone mad. This one is familiar; it's Celeb'hel, the Elder leader of the Aman'lu. You are forced to fight him and the fight plays out exactly like the battles against Kanred and Kikrak. The biggest difference this time is Celeb'hel is a bit more dangerous even when not executing his teleport-circle-of-death attack. You may need to buff up a bit and stock up on health potions using the Arinth's Heights (Summit) teleporter before you take him on.

When Celeb'hel is defeated, you get a soulstone, an entry for "Celeb'hel the Elder" side quest, a conversation with Celia and the next chapter.

=========================== [2.5] Broken World Part 2===========================

[2.5.1] Chapter 1: Elves Under Siege====================================== The shock of encountering a maddened Celeb'hel the Elder makes you

even more worried about what's happened to the Elves. It's hard to believe that the Overmage managed to break Celeb'hel, and that does not bode well for the rest of the Elves.

At least you were able to convince Warden Celia of the seriousness of the situation and she's agreed to open the path to Aman'lu.

Primary Tasks* Meet Warden Celia on the other side of the bridge north of the Outpost.* Journey to Aman'lu.* Look for Elven Survivors.

Secondary Quests* Naturalist Ithara's Research

Teleport back to the Dryad Outpost and refit. By this point you should have finished every Part 1 secondary quest except "Hunt for the Lost Dwarves", "Naturalist Ithara's Research" and "The Ancient Tome". Go north out of the Outpost and find Celia right across the first bridge. She'll open the Passage to Aman'lu.

As you enter, you encounter some bound hyenas, the last creature on Ithara's list. After you've killed them, run back to the Outpost and complete her quest. She'll give you some nice armor and another Research quest. Go back to the Passage and head through to Aman'lu.

You'll find the town mostly destroyed (which, come to think of it, was the state it was in last time...). This time it's a bit worse. After clearing out the areas south of town, talk your way through the gate to end this rather short chapter.

[2.5.2] Chapter 2: The Familiars================================== You arrived in Aman'lu to find it a very changed place. Most of the Elves are dead, and the survivors are despairing the loss of their visionary powers in the cataclysm.

Danadel, the de-facto leader of the Elves, explained that they are currently threatened by their ancient enemy, the Familiars. The Familiar Surgeons are adept at creating horrific mutilations of creatures and people. Unable to face these horrors, the Elves barricaded themselves in a small section of town near the tavern.

You would like the Elves' support in the coming battle with the Overmage, but first you'll have to help them regain their strength by destroying the Familiars.

Primary Tasks* Travel beyond the western Vai'lutra Forest in search of the Familiar Surgeons.* Look for the Familiar Surgeons within the abandoned Elven ruins.* Destroy the Familiar Surgeon.* Release Drianjul from the cell.* Speak with Drianjul.

Secondary Quests* Naturalist Ithara's Research, Part II* The Ancient Tome* The Vai'kesh

* Minli the Faerie* The Aman'lu Arena* Questionable Methods

Aman'lu is a reduced-services home base. There's a base teleporter, a necromancer, your storage vault and an all-in-one merchant inside the Inn. However, there's no Innkeeper, Arcanist, Enchanter, Trainer, F&K Society merchant, etc. You'll have to teleport back to the Outpost for those services. Fortunately, every teleporter in the game can take you back to any of the base teleporters, including the Dryad Outpost.

North of the Inn is a burned-out building. Talk to Kylis on the top floor to get "Minli the Faerie" added to your quest log. Take the metal scraps he drops on the ground, and go back to the south bridge leading out of town. Drop the scraps on the ground (you have to actually open your inventory and remove them, it's not automatic).

You'll be swarmed by faeries. Kill them and another wave comes at you, this time with the mini-boss, Minli. Kill her and the remaining faeries; then return to Kylis to complete his quest.

Right next to Kylis' building, down by the river, is an elf who will give you a vial of Aman'lu water. This is an item needed for Mage Nari. Inside the Inn, talk to Talain to start "The Vai'kesh" quest, and pull the lever in the south wing to travel down to the Aman'lu Arena, which is still open for business.

Once you're ready to go, head west into the Western Vai'lutra Forest. As you're exploring, you'll come across, to the south, the entrance to a ruin that is blocked by a door on which is nailed a bound elf.

Lovely.

You can't get through these doors yet, but you'll get the key soon enough. To the north of this gate is a campsite where you meet Ressa. She's a Blood Assassin, potential henchman (after you complete her quest) and will kick off "Questionable Methods". You'll get to your first task, collect elf blood, later.

Continue west to the Western Vai'lutra Forest (South) teleporter. Here the path splits, going west and north. Take the west path into the Western Vai'kesh Forest. You cross over an ornate stone bridge as you enter the Vai'kesh Forest, and the path splits after the bridge, going north and south.

Go south into a camp of peaceful Vai'kesh and speak to the leader. This advances "The Vai'kesh". Now go north and you'll quickly find, off to your right, the entrance to a crypt with a bunch of elven bodies. Entering the crypt advances "The Vai'kesh" again.

Your path now turns west again, and you will soon reach the Western Vai'kesh Forest teleporter, which is not far east of the entrance to a dungeon. Enter the ruins, which are not that exciting, but quite gory, with plenty of blood and body parts. Not to mention a large number of mobs.

When you reach the end of the dungeon, you're in for your next boss fight, against a Familiar Surgeon. This giant brain is pretty nasty in a fight. It uses primarily death magic against you, so beefing up your death resistance would be a smart idea. Additionally, it summons crawlers from two pools located near the entrance to its lair. These crawlers creep over to the surgeon and regenerate it.

Fun stuff.

With decent death resistance, you can ignore the surgeon's attacks. Unload high-damage, single target powers on it, then attack it. Keep one area power in reserve. When crawlers pop out of the pools, unleash your AoE power on them. If you can keep the surgeon at the far end of the chamber, away from the pools, you'll have time to kill the crawlers before they get close enough to the brain to restore its health. Then go back to your head banging.

After the Surgeon is dead, release Drianjul from her cage and talk to her. When you killed the Surgeon, you got a strange metal object added to your Quest Items. Drianjul tells you that item is a key that unlocks special doors guarded by bound elves. She also tells you there's another Familiar Surgeon in Calennor Stronghold to the north.

[2.5.3] Chapter 3: The Second Familiar Surgeon================================================ You discovered the chilling manner in which bound creatures are created, and saved Drevin's sister, Drianjul, from becoming one. She is grieving and in shock, but she is able to tell you about a second Surgeon somewhere nearby.

You will have to find and destroy it too if you hope to gain the Elves' help.

Primary Tasks* Use the Surgeon's key to enter the Calennor Stronghold.* Speak with the Overmage's projection.* Find and destroy the second Familiar Surgeon.* Return to Danadel in Aman'lu.

Secondary Quests* The Ancient Tome* Questionable Methods* Treasure Hunting* Celeb'hel the Elder* The Vai'kesh, Part 2

Return to Aman'lu for rest and refit. While you're in town, talk to Talain to conclude "The Vai'kesh". Teleport to the Western Vai'lutra Forest (South) teleporter and go southeast to find the bound elf-blocked door you saw earlier. You can now stick your key into the bound elf and release it, kill it, then open the door. This is a simple treasure vault, nothing more. However, to thoroughly loot it, you'll need to find all the secret doors. Look for interactive torches on stands on the ground and on the walls. And beware of one chest that turns out to be a mimic.

Go back to the teleporter and go north. You'll start encountering bound elves, and they will drop vials of their blood. These are actual inventory items--not Quest Items--that drop on the ground, so be sure to pick them up. As you progress, keep an eye out to the east for an entrance to some ruins. This is the Vault of Therayne and the "Treasure Hunting" side quest.

The full solution to these puzzles appears in Treasure Hunting later in this guide.

When you reach the Western Vai'lutra Forest (North) teleporter, teleport back to the South teleporter and return to Ressa's camp (just to the east). You

should have ten vials of elf blood now, so give them to her and get your next task: collect a child's tears.

Teleport back to the Dryad Outpost and find Arlen, Soram's son, in the southeast corner of camp. Anything you say to him (regardless of whether you completed his dad's quest) will make him cry and you'll automatically collect his tears. Teleport back to Ressa's camp and give her the tears.

She now asks you to bind the soul of Lorethal himself. Teleport to Western Vai'lutra Forest (North) and go a little bit north and then turn east to find the entrance to the Sepulcher of the Crimson Hunters. (Note that you need the key from the first Familiar Surgeon to get into this dungeon.) It will be empty going in. Make sure you loot the place thoroughly, including some level 42 Sanctuary Doors (one for each of the four main classes).

After binding Lorethal's soul, the dungeon fills with the ghosts of Lorethal's Crimson Hunters. These are not pushovers--they're level 45 and very angry. You can't summon a teleporter inside; but, there is a cheesy trick you can use if you don't want to (or can't) fight your way out. Save your game and quit. When you reload, you'll be back in Aman'lu.

Regardless of how you get out of the Sepulcher, teleport back to Ressa, complete her quest and hire her if you're so inclined. (Note: Ressa is not needed in the party for any future part of the story.)

After, teleport back to Western Vai'lutra Forest (North) and continue your journey north. After reaching the Calennor Wood (South) teleporter, start looking for an unmarked path to your right (east). This will lead to a ruined shrine where you find Celeb'hel.

Didn't you already kill him?

Well, talk to him to get the full story. You'll find his two other soulstones in the near future. Continue north until you reach Calennor Stronghold, which is again guarded by a bound elf. The Stronghold, besides being the site of your boss fight for this chapter, has a lot of treasure hidden behind secret doors, some of which is quest related.

In the very first room, find the interactive torch on the north wall and open a secret door. Inside the revealed room is a corpse. Click it to find a Vai'kesh sword and open "The Vai'kesh, Part 2" in your quest log.

In the next large room of the dungeon, go through the southeast door and find the secret entrance on the west wall. In that room, pick up a green stone from the pile along the north wall. (Remember those stones? And how much you came to loathe them in DS2?)

Next up: some prison cells. Behind the northeast cell is a room where you'll find one of Celeb'hel's other bodies. Click it to collect the soulstone. After the prison, there's a T-intersection. Go left (west) and find purple stones on a bookcase in the end room. (Search carefully, they don't glow.)

Head back east, and then north as the hall turns. In the next room, find a secret door in the southeast corner. Inside the room are yellow stones, lying on the floor.

Now it's on to the boss fight against the Familiar Surgeon, which plays out like the last Surgeon fight. Afterwards, walk back through the dungeon. When you get to the room south of the prison cells, find the secret room to the east and place a green, purple and yellow stone in the appropriate sockets to

open a small treasure room.

[2.5.4] Chapter 4: Solanum============================ You destroyed the Familiars in the hopes of convincing the Elves to help you against the Overmage, but the Elves remained steadfast in their decision to not get involved.

However, you also learned that the Overmage is manipulating the Dryads to concentrate all of Aranna's magic in one place.

Danadel also revealed that the Great Leader is a male Dryad-- the first ever known to exist. The Elves don't seem to find this suspicious, but you're not so sure...

At least Danadel opened a portal to the Dryads' city of Solanum, so you'll be able to question the Great Leader yourself.

Primary Tasks* Go through Danadel's portal to Solanum.* Enter the Great Leader's audience chamber.* Defeat Keirok the Devourer.* Go through the Overmage's portal.* Explore the unfamiliar cavern.* Speak to Stonepick.

Secondary Quests* Celeb'hel the Elder* The Vai'kesh, Part 2

Return to Aman'lu and speak to Danadel. He'll open a portal to Solanum (a glowing white circle just north of the Aman'lu teleporter). Don't go through it yet. Go talk to Talain at the Inn. Teleport to Western Vai'lutra Forest (South) and run west to the Vai'kesh camp.

Confront the leader with the sword you found in the Stronghold; then kill the leader and his minions. Enter the sanctuary that's right there in the camp and kill everyone inside. A locked door in the back yields to a key you took from the leader and leads to the Prophet, who's a pretty tough fight. You'll also find a body of Celeb'hel.

Return to Aman'lu and talk to Talain to wrap up the Vai'kesh quests. Teleport to The Calennor Wood (North) and head southeast to find the living Celeb'hel. If you give him the soulstones, he blows himself to smithereens. End of quest. If you don't give him the soulstones, he attacks you. After you fight him to surrender, he offers to join up. You don't need him for any particular quest after this.

The remainder of this chapter is a boss fight against Keirok the Devourer. Return to Aman'lu and go through the portal made by Danadel. You quickly enter a large, round chamber where you watch a cutscene that ends with you facing a very large, very nasty creature.

There's no special trick to beating Keirok, it's just a test of endurance. He's a strong melee attacker, so ranged attacks work better. He has one special attack where he pounds on the ground, causing glowing lines to radiate out from his body. When you see these forming, run to the outer edges of the circle and get between the lines--they will erupt in flame. If you're caught in them, it means almost certain death for any mages (and possibly

rangers) in your party.

However, this attack is pretty easy to avoid and he's not otherwise all that tough. When he's dead, jump through the portal and find Glorydeep Mine. Yeah! There's a base portal here, similar to the one in Aman'lu. Once you speak with Stonepick, the next chapter begins...

=========================== [2.6] Broken World Part 3===========================

[2.6.1] Chapter 1: The Dwarves of Glorydeep============================================= Your suspicions about the nature of the Great Leader were not unfounded--he is the Overmage! The Dryads did not seem aware that they were deceived, and they willingly went through the Overmage's portal. The Overmage summoned a Familiar to stop you, but you were able to defeat it.

However, the portal changed somehow. You went through anyway and discovered a group of Dwarves enslaved by the Overmage.

Stonepick, the Dwarves' leader, explained that they haven't seen the Overmage personally in years, but he resides within the Cinbri city the Dwarves have been excavating. Stonepick agrees to help you get inside the city if you aid the Dwarves in overthrowing the oppressive Familiar Overseers.

Primary Tasks* Destroy Hopekiller the Familiar Overseer.* Destroy Merciless the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Longwhip the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Stench the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Bloodgrin the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Rockfist the Familiar Overseer* Meet Stonepick at the bridge to the Cinbri City.

Secondary Quests* Naturalist Ithara's Research, Part II* Naturalist Ithara's Research, Part III* Hunt for the Lost Dwarves* Captured Miners* The Explosives Tunnel

If you don't have Yoren in your party, teleport back to the Outpost and add him. While you're at the Outpost, go speak to Ithara. You should have all the body parts she wants for part II of her research, so you'll get another piece of armor and part III of the quest.

Return to Glorydeep and find Rockmover; he's in a house to your left (north) as you cross over the first bridge. Rockmover and Yoren will talk, you'll get a reward and the "Hunt for the Lost Dwarves" will be finished. You can safely discard Yoren at this point if you wish.

Continue east through the mine, defeating the Familiar Overseers and their bound minions. Remember to watch out for the Overseers resurrection. As you progress through the mine, you'll be able to quickly complete two side quests, "Captured Miners" and "The Explosives Tunnel".

After the second Overseer, find a path to the north and talk to Strongspade. He'll send you to release three dwarf prisoners further north. Each prisoner is in a separate cell and guarded by a horde of monsters, including mini-bosses. Once all are free, talk to Strongspade again. You'll get a reward, and a bonus. The three former prisoners will now head off to fight Overseers, so you'll have some help in future battles.

Just before you get to the third Overseer, you should find a little alcove to the south. Inside is Pitforger, who has a plan to blow up some of the mining structures. He'll give you a fuse; take it into the narrow tunnel to the south and wind your way back to a pile of explosives. Click the pile to place the fuse; return to Pitforger. He now asks you to actually detonate the explosives.

Continue east through the mines until you reach a small bluff overlooking a large area. The last three Overseers are bunched up together in the clearing. The detonator for Pitforger's explosives is on the bluff; click it to dispose of some of the Overseers' minions as well as release piles of loot. Go down, kill the Overseers and claim your reward. Continue east to find Stonepick. He'll extend the bridge across to Cinbri City and your final dungeon run approaches.

[2.6.2] Chapter 2: The Overmage of the Cinbri=============================================== You freed the Dwarves from the oppression of the Familiar Overseers, and in return they extended the bridge to the Cinbri City.

Stonepick advised you to work your way deep within the city to the gateway chamber where the Overmage plans to become Zaramoth Reborn.

Stonepick thinks the ritual has already begun--you should get there fast if you want to stop it.

Primary Tasks* Explore the Cinbri City.* Explore the center of the city.* Find the gateway chamber.* Speak with the Overmage.* Defeat the Overmage.* Defeat Zaramoth Reborn.* Speak with Kirani.

Secondary Quests* Naturalist Ithara's Research, Part III* The Ancient Tome

The run through Cinbri City is strangely reminiscent of the run up Zaramoth's Horns at the end of DS2. The main thing to watch out for is a Cinbri Gem; it's in the large room of the second indoor area. It's on a bookcase and is glowing, so you should be able to find it easily enough. This is the last item needed by Mage Nari.

When you finally reach the end, you'll want to stock up on health (and, possibly, mana) potions and equip your best stuff. You've got a very long and grueling boss fight ahead of you.

Enter the circular area where the Overmage is getting ready to transform

himself. He's surrounded by dryads in stasis. After your little chat, your first inclination will be to pound on the Overmage.

Resist the urge.

Back off and wait. The Overmage summons a bunch of creatures and you have to defeat them. Right now, the Overmage is invulnerable.

DO NOT USE YOUR POWERS AGAINST THE SUMMONS UNLESS YOU USE THEM EARLY AND THEY ARE FAST RECHARGE POWERS!

This cannot be stressed enough. If you want to shorten this part of the battle--and you DEFINITELY want to shorten it--then save your powers. Be sure to have all your highest damage powers selected (Brutal Strike, Take Aim, etc.). When the last summons dies, the Overmage collapses.

Unload on him. Hit him with everything you've got. You only get about five to ten seconds, then he revives, is once more invulnerable and summons more help.

Do the whole thing over again. If you do this right, you only have to go through three or four waves of summons before you shave off all the Overmage's health. When that happens, he transforms into Zaramoth Reborn.Now the real fight gets underway.

Zaramoth Reborn is one very tough hombre. He's got a LOT of health (120,000 in Merc), is resistant to everything, knows every power and spell in the book and has near-unlimited mana. In other words, he's equal to about ten of you.Zaramoth will unleash a lot of stuff. Some of his favorites are:

* Whirling Strike with his sword: getting hit is pretty certain death. You can avoid this one because he takes about ten seconds to wind up. When you see him crouch and gather in on himself, he's about to let go, so run away.Glacial Aura: this one's pretty hard to avoid, especially for your melee fighters, since running out of range means no damage being inflicted on Mr. Bigshot. Your best bet is to stay in there, take your lumps and drink health potions.

* Fire rings: you can see these coming, as they start from the outside of the circle and move inward. When you see them, rush IN toward Zaramoth and gather around him as the flames stop short of his body. (If you've got any unconscious people lying around, they're toast. Get a Rez spell handy.) This is actually a great time to unload on Zaramoth as he's busy tending the fire and you have a perfect excuse to get in close and personal.

* Call Lightning: when sparks start dancing on the ground, run away. These are pretty easy to avoid, but dangerous if you're not paying attention.

* Waves of Force: this one's just nasty. There's no warning, and you're suddenly facing waves of high-damage streaming out from the front of Zaramoth. The one upside is the narrow area-of-effect, you can easily run to the side away from them. If any melee fighters are standing right in front of him...well, hope they have lots of armor and health.

Zaramoth has other toys to play with too. This fight is, basically, a war of attrition. Can you knock off his health before you run out of health potions or Rez scrolls? He's resistant, but not immune to anything, and you can curse him and attack him just like any normal enemy. (I.e. there's no special trick to fighting him.)

The tactics are all about avoiding his attacks as much as possible, quaffing health potions almost continuously and making sure you have a nature mage with a Resurrect spell and plenty of Rez scrolls for when the nature mage is unconscious or dead.

This is a long, grueling battle and there are no shortcuts. Use high-damage powers as fast as they recharge. Run away when Zaramoth starts with one of his specialty attacks. In fact, keep moving, a lot. It will be harder if you have a melee-heavy party, so be sure to have some strong ranged support (ranger, combat mage).

And bring lots and lots of potions, just in case you hadn't picked up on that by now. When it's all over, talk to Kirani, the lone surviving dryad and the main quest is officially complete. Return to the Dryad Outpost and wrap of "The Ancient Tome" by talking to Mage Nari, giving her all the stuff, then following up with the ghost of the murdered historian.

That should do it! Now it's off to DS2 in Vet, then BW in Vet, then DS2 in Elite...

Go east, through the gatehouse, and follow it around to enter Windstone Fortress proper. Go north and talk to Captain Dathry. Take the east hall near the teleporter to enter the Outer Vault.

Place a yellow stone in the yellow socket, then two green stones in the two green sockets. Kill Lieutenant Namyek for the Inner Vault key, then place two red stones in the red sockets to open the door leading to the Inner Vault.

Enter the Inner Vault and click the blue flame to activate your Azunite Artifact. Return to Captain Dathry, then follow him north and kill all the bugs. Enter Xeria's Temple.

Take the doll she gives you and find Fenella in a house near the Falls (reach the Falls from a lift beside the Inn). Fenella will give you a flask of Elven ale.

When you arrive at the Azunite Desert camp (beginning of Act I, Chapter 7), enter the house and talk to soldier Balamar. He's dying of thirst and, when he sees your Elven Ale, he'll actually break down in tears.

Isn't that sweet?

Give him the Ale and he'll give you some skath cat ribs. Take the ribs to soldier Jordhan on the second floor of the Eirulan Inn. He'll give you a statuette of Xeria in return. When you reach Snowbrook Haven's Courtyard at the end of Act II, Chapter 7, you can find Soldier Kiernan in the dining hall.

In exchange for your statuette of Xeria, he'll give you a tasty Morden head on a pike. Take the Morden head to Alar'ithil, who lives just southwest of the south bridge leaving Aman'lu. He'll give you some Elven water for your head. Take the Elven Water to Prospector Gareth, who resides in the bottom of a ruined tower just beyond the North Gate of Kalrathia (Act III, Chapter 1).

Gareth will give you an Agallan relic, which goes to the half-giant Nalus,

who is hanging out on the North Wall of Kalrathia. Take the harpy feathers you receive from Nalus, and visit the fletcher Ithir'renne in the extreme north of Aman'lu. Finally, Ithir'renne gives you an Aman'lu orchid, which you can take to Lelani to cheer her up.

Close to the end of the Lower Kithraya Caverns, take the south fork in the path to find the hive queen. When you reach the Azunite Desert camp, there will be a teleporter you can use to return to Eirulan and give Tamari the queen's head.

#6: The Hak'u===============* Intended level: 7* Find the hidden rear entrance to the Hak'u caves* Rescue Hesla's daughter Tanzi* Speak with Hesla in the Eirulan infirmary

During the search for the towers, you'll meet Morain, who will ask that you rescue her niece, Tanzi. Just past the third Morden tower, turn west to enter the hidden Hak'u caves and free Tanzi. After completing the Morden towers quest and getting your prisoner's collar removed by Taar, enter the infirmary to speak to Hesla, Morain and Tanzi to end the quest.

#7: The Hak'u, Part II========================* Intended level: 10* Find Hrawn the Hak'u* Kill the Hak'u leader who stands against your allies* Return to Hesla in the Eirulan infirmary

This quest is added when the previous Hak'u quest ends. Immediately after completing Chapter 5, leave the Dryad camp by the west path. Near the incantation shrine is a small cave where you can find Hrawn. Talk to him, then head back to the Dryad camp and take the east path to the Eastern Greilyn Jungle teleporter.

Teleport to the Western Greilyn Jungle and go due west to find the house with the Hak'u usurper. Knock on the door to be allowed in, then kill the usurper. Teleport back to the Eastern Jungle and go back to Hrawn and his father in their cave. Receive your reward, then teleport back to Eirulan and go see Hesla, Morain and Tanzi in the infirmary.

In the beginning of Chapter 5, talk to the pet merchant about more powerful pets. Then talk to Rokhar in the great hall. Fight through the Southern Greilyn Jungle until you pass Razka's Ruins. Turn north, cross the river and fight through the caves. Enter Rokhar's Rift Site and talk to Rokhar. Fight off the nawl beasts, then talk to Rokhar again. Return to Eirulan and talk to the pet merchant. You can now buy a dire wolf for a pet.

#9: Taar's Investigation==========================* Intended level: 10* Confirm or deny the existence of the Hak'u Ceremonial Blade* Investigate the rumors of the Hak'u beast* Slay the garganturax* Take proof of the beast's death to Arianne in Eirulan

With Taar in your party talk to Arianne, who lives in the house next to the great hall. Teleport to the Northern Greilyn Jungle and head for the Hak'u ritual camp that is located north west of the teleporter. Get the Hak'u Ceremonial Blade from the camp by clicking on the carcass on the top of the altar.

Return to Eirulan and leave through the South Gate. When the path turns east, go south and find the cave of the garganturax. Equip the Hak'u Ceremonial Blade and kill the beast, then return with its head to Arianne.

#10: Feldwyr the Blacksmith=============================* Intended level: 12* Find Feldwyr's anvil* Find Feldwyr's mythril ore* Return the anvil and mythril ore to Feldwyr* Find Feldwyr's hammer* Return Feldwyr's hammer to Feldwyr* Speak to blacksmith apprentice Fyrndolf in the town of Aman'lu

When you reach the far eastern portion of the Eastern Greilyn Jungle, where the path turns south over a bridge, there are ruins to the north. Clear them out to find Feldwyr and talk to him. Feldwyr will open a door to the east that leads down into the depths of the ruins.

At the bottom of the stairs, the north path leads to a series of rooms laid out in a rectangle. The rooms are filled with level 14 Hak'u. The room along the southern edge of the rectangle has the level 16 mini-boss who is carrying Feldwyr's anvil. In the room along the eastern edge of the rectangle, search for a lever that opens a secret entrance into the center of the rectangle and collect the treasure.

From the fork in the path, the south rooms are filled with level 22 creatures, and Feldwyr's mythril ore is guarded by a level 24 mini-boss. Don't attempt this area until you are the appropriate level (at least 20). Once you have both the anvil and mythril ore, going up the stairs to see Feldwyr results in a cutscene in which his hammer is stolen.

Follow the newly opened path north of Feldwyr's room and kill more level 22 creatures and another level 24 mini-boss. Return to Feldwyr with his hammer and he rewards you with a fantastic weapon.

Which will take a few days to make. When you finally reach Aman'lu at the beginning of Act II, you can search out the blacksmith and speak to his apprentice, who happens to be Feldwyr's brother, Fyrndolf. He'll give you the reward.

#11: A Family Heirloom========================* Intended level: 14* Enter the crypt described by Master Thestrin* Solve the Guardian of the Crypt's riddle

While collecting the Stelae of the Azunites, you'll pass a tower between the Guardian of Blindness and Guardian of Death. Enter the tower and take the elevator down to talk to Master Thestrin and receive the quest. The crypt he speaks of is southeast of the Azunite Desert camp. Enter it and talk to the statue (do not open the side doors unless you are at least level 26 or higher).

If you answer the statue's question incorrectly, it will spawn some level 16 monsters, so you can farm a little XP this way. To answer the Guardian's question correctly, choose conversation options 3, 3, 1 and 1. The Heirloom Sword that is revealed is guarded by level 28 creatures, so if you're low level, run in, grab the sword and run away.

Return with the sword to Thestrin and he'll reluctantly give you a couple of chants. You don't want to use the first chant he gives you. You can also just keep the sword, in which case you get no useable reward and the sword itself isn't all that great.

#12: The Imprisoned Half-Giant================================* Intended level: 19* Talk to the soldiers about releasing Sartan once Windstone Fortress is safe* Talk to the newly freed Sartan

When entering Windstone Fortress, you'll find Sartan in a pit. Talk to him. After you've activated your Azunite Artifact and blown a hole in the north wall, talk to Soldier Orayne and get Sartan released. Then talk to Sartan again.

#13: The Missing Squadron===========================* Intended level: 18* Find Private Nolan* Find Private Banos* Find Private Caiden* Speak to Squadron Leader Taarth

Private Banos is in a room along the south wall of the first hallway in the Eastern Windstone Gatehouse. Private Nolan is in the west-most room of the Windstone Barracks, directly west of the teleporter. Private Caiden is in the southwest corner of the Western Gatehouse. After talking to each of them and telling them to follow you, talk to Squadron Leader Taarth, who is standing near the pit where Sartan is held prisoner.

#14: Secrets of Xeria's Temple================================* Intended level: 19* Enter the Temple of Xeria and place the Stone of Life within its socket* Finish exploring the Temple of Xeria* Return to the grizzled bar patron in the Eirulan tavern

Talk to the grizzled bar patron at the Eirulan Inn to receive this quest. Keep choosing conversation option #1 to get him to spill the whole story. When you finally get to Xeria's Temple (Act I, Chapter 10), you'll find a room with two sockets: green and yellow.

Pick up three green stones from the southeast corner of the room and place one in the green socket. This opens a door on the west wall. Go in there and get three yellow stones. Place one on the yellow socket in the pit.

A door on the south wall opens. Enter and place a yellow and a green stone. Two more doors open up. Go one of those rooms and collect three red stones. Then enter the other newly opened room and place one of your red stones in the socket with one red symbol, and then a second red stone in the socket with two red symbols. Grab three purple cubes from the one side room and place one in the purple socket in the other side room.

This opens another side room with another purple socket. Place your stone and then you're back in the room with all four color sockets. Place a stone in each. Collect your booty, including the Chant of Scholars. Return to the old man to collect your reward.

================================= [3.3] DS2 Act II Primary Quests=================================

Chapter 1: The Town of Aman'lu================================* Speak with Celeb'hel the Elder in Alt'orn Hall in the town of Aman'lu

Go to the building in the middle of town and talk to the old guy sitting in the chair.

Chapter 2: Finala and the Broken Bridge=========================================* Find Finala, the town's engineer, in the hills north of Aman'lu* Convince Finala to return to Aman'lu and repair the broken bridge

From Aman'lu, head north until you find Finala. Convince her to go back to Aman'lu and fix the bridge--an easy argument--and complete this chapter.

Chapter 3: The Elen'lu Isles==============================* Travel to the Elen'lu Isles* Find the replace the prism's four small refractor crystals* Find the prism's large refractor crystal and activate the prism* Return to Aman'lu and speak with Finala

After speaking with Finala, continue following the main path north, through the Northern Vai'lutra Forest until you reach the Temple of Istauru and Isteru. The Elen'lu Isles lie beyond the ruined temple.

Now you get a new task. The taclak have stolen the refractor crystals that collect the diffuse light in the Isles and focus it on the main prism. You must find four crystals and replace them in the refractors and aim the refractors at the prism.

On the first island, kill the taclak and collect the first crystal. Then go east by clicking the arch over the bridge to extend it. Watch out for taclak, who have the ability to jump from island to island.

At the next island, turn north, east and east again and kill the taclak for your second crystal. Go south three islands, then take the other north bridge (the one to the east) to find the first refractor. Click it to place a crystal, then click it again to turn it so it shines west toward the prism.

Go back south, then west two islands to pick up your third crystal. Go north, then to the north end of the island to reach the second refractor. Turn it once to point east. Go back to the south end of the island and take the southeast bridge, then go east to the third refractor. Turn it three times to point north.

Backtrack past the second refractor and go north to pick up crystal #4. Then go north and then east to refractor #4. Turn it three times to point south.

Now you have to find the big crystal that goes in the prism. Go back to refractor #2 island and take the east bridge to the main island. Kill the mini-boss for the prism crystal. Put it in the top of the pyramid and watch the cutscene. Then kill the horde of taclak, including mini-boss, surrounding you.

From the north end of pyramid island, you can open a westward bridge that's a shortcut back to the teleporter back to Aman'lu. Head to the south end of town and talk to Finala.

Chapter 4: The Royal Caravan==============================

* Locate the Caravan* Find the Vai'kesh sanctuary* Find the leader of the Vai'kesh

Follow the road south through the Southern Vai'lutra Forest until you reach the caravan. Talk to the wounded elf, then continue south until you enter the Vai'kesh Forest. When you arrive at the gates, turn left to find the Vai'kesh sanctuary. You can be either friendly with or belligerent to the guards, it doesn't matter. Once you gain entry to the sanctuary, talk to the Prophet to end the chapter.

Chapter 5: The Vai'kesh and the Aegis of Death================================================* Follow the Vai'kesh Prophet* Continue following the Vai'kesh Prophet* Follow the Vai'kesh Prophet along Arinth's Ravine* Defeat the Vai'kesh Prophet and his followers* Find the Aegis of Death* Defeat the Knotted Shambler* Claim the Aegis of Death* Talk to the Azunite Scholar

Destroy all the Vai'kesh in the auditorium, then loot the place. There are two sanctuary doors (nature mage and ranger) and two secret rooms on the east wall, with two more secret rooms opening off those. Once finished, exit through the same door as the Prophet and fight your way back into the Vai'kesh Forest.

Turn north and open the gates you passed earlier, then follow the path south. Keep going until you reach the eastern end of Arinth's Ravine, where the Prophet will finally stand and fight in front of some caves.

After the cutscene with the Prophet, run back toward the nearby teleporter and draw the Vai'kesh minions after you and destroy them piecemeal. The Prophet will stay near the caves. Once the minions are dead, return to fight the Prophet, who is fairly easy...

Because he's not the actual boss fight. After killing the Prophet, enter the cavern to the east and head for the star on your map, which is pointing the way to a fight with the Knotted Shambler.

Before trying to kill the Shambler, find and destroy the leaf generators that pop up out of the ground. There are six, and they only show one at a time. Once they are destroyed, attack the Shambler. It is weak to fire, so bring a combat mage with you. When it starts pounding the ground, run away as the concussive blasts can usually take out your casters.

When the Shambler is destroyed, take the Aegis of Death, then talk to the Azunite Scholar, who just happens to pop in to see what you're up to.

Chapter 6: Princess Evangeline================================* Find the Azunite burial grounds* Look for the Death Masks of Champion Rahvan's brothers* Enter the Azunite catacombs* Find Princess Evangeline* Rescue Princess Evangeline

Take the portal from the grotto to the Garden of the Ancients. Head south to find a teleporter. There are four crypts in the vicinity of the teleporter: one directly south, one a bit east, one further east and one to the west. Clear out all four crypts and collect the Death Masks they contain.

Follow the main path west to another teleporter. Nearby is the entrance to the Azunite Burial Grounds guarded by a ghost. Show the ghost the four Death Masks you collected and he'll let you in the burial grounds.

Follow the path south, over several bridges, until you reach the catacombs. There's a missing elevator and four obelisks. Rotate (by clicking) the obelisks so they display, from left to right: purple tree, red eye, yellow eye and green tree. The elevator will arrive. Take it down to the lower catacombs

Fight through the catacombs to the west, and then north to reach the chamber where Evangeline is held prisoner by a Dark Wizard of Valdis. The Wizard is actually pretty easy once you figure out his defenses and pattern. There are some war pedestals scattered around the room to quickly recharge powers.

The Dark Wizard will summon some giant undead to guard him, but they're not too difficult. The wizard sticks to the center platform, so draw his summons away from him and destroy them. The wizard protects himself with three revolving crystal shards. Destroy the shards (not to hard) before unloading on the wizard with everything you've got.

He teleports around the platform, but it's not large so your melee fighters never have to run far to get back to him. Still, ranged attacks are better, so a fighter-heavy party might have some difficulty.

His main attack is a large, electrical explosion. Fortunately, you can see it coming when some sparking circles show up under your characters' feet. When they appear...run. Get away or you're going to take massive amounts of lightning damage. Once you learn how to avoid that attack, the wizard is a pushover--though it will take a while to drain his health.

After he's dead, talk to Princess Evangeline. Then talk to her again after she opens the north door. If you don't have room for her in your party right now, she'll go to the Inn of Aman'lu.

Chapter 7: The Siege of Snowbrook Haven=========================================* Enter Snowbrook Haven through the servant's quarters* Find the throne room and acquire the display case key* Locate the Snowbrook Haven Commander

When you leave Eva, you'll have to fight your way out of the catacombs, eventually landing in Snowbrook Valley. Now you just have a very long and combat-rich dungeon crawl ahead of you. You'll fight your way through the Valley, into the Foothills, arriving at Snowbrook Mountain and working your way over that.

You will, after quite a long time, reach the servant's entrance into Snowbrook Haven. Fight through to the large room with the columns. At the north end of the room are two doors. Take the east door, then go south and then west over the bridge.

Continue west through the door and take the elevator down to the Living Quarters. Go through the door to the east and then either the north or south

door to go down into the throne room.

Click the throne, take the display case key that is revealed, then fight off the rustguards that come to life around you. Head through the eastern door. Two rooms to the east you'll find a teleporter. South from the teleporter is an elevator. To the west of the elevator is a series of treasure rooms, one of which contains a mimic. Be sure to loot thoroughly before taking the up elevator.

The elevator leads up to the Snowbrook Haven Courtyard. Go up top and speak to the Commander to begin the next (and final) chapter of Act II.

Chapter 8: The Siege of Snowbrook Haven, Part II==================================================* Destroy the brall on top of the Snowbrook Haven Inner keep* Meet the Commander at the North Gate* Destroy the Morden enemies that have broken through the North Gate* Speak to the Commander at the North Gate* Defeat the dragon* Report to the Commander* Retrieve the Aegis of Blindness* Finish off the dragon* Escape from Snowbrook Haven* Travel to the town of Kalrathia and speak with the town lord there

Go down and around behind the dining hall to find the door leading into the eastern keep. What follows is from the Dungeon Crawls for Dummies instruction manual. Just keep going until you reach the upper ramparts of the keep and destroy the monsters hurling rocks. Then take the elevator down to see the Commander.

A horde of Morden will break through the gates and you must beat them off. Speak to the Commander again. Oh look! A humongous dragon! The Act II boss fight has finally arrived.

Send your party back up the elevator to the Inner keep. There's a circular platform to the south with a ballista. The only way to kill the dragon is to hit it with the ballista. Take your best-armored, highest health character and use Wait mode to send him/her solo to the ballista.

You can only hit Talon (the dragon) with the ballista. And you can only do this when he's perched atop the castle walls. There are five positions in which he lands, like so:

3

2 4 B 1 5

You can rotate the ballista (B) left and right using the cranks to either side of the device. Click the ballista itself to fire. Each time you hit Talon, he'll jump into the air and fire-bomb the platform for a bit.

While he's in the air, rotate the ballista to the #3 spot, so you can quickly reposition it to any landing spot when Talon alights once more. Once you've hit Talon a couple of times, the Morden will start catapulting Durvla up to the battlements.

Switch to the Mirror party order and press R to call your party to you to help deal with the Durvla; but, don't miss a chance to take a pot shot at the dragon while you're at it.

It takes about 8 hits to kill the dragon, so this fight mostly takes a lot of patience. Once it's over, head back to the Commander and speak to her.

Ah, well, so much for Snowbrook Haven. Head up the east side of the ramparts to the Reliquary door, which you can now unlock with the Commander's key. Grab the Aegis of Blindness. Before making good on your escape, remember there is always time for some constructive looting. Exit to the northeast.

Yeah...didn't see that one coming...

This time, Talon's a lot tougher. He may have less than a third of his health, but you're going to have to chop that off yourself, without a huge piece of medieval artillery to help. There's little room to avoid his fiery blasts, just don't stand in them when they hit. Keep your ranged characters moving side-to-side and keep hitting him with powers.

Once Talon is finally, actually dead, speak to that blasted Azunite Scholar who keeps popping up after you could have used his help. Take the southeast door to the teleporter room. Grab the Greater Chants of Dexterity, Intelligence and Strength before using the teleporter to travel to Kalrathia.

Looks like the Morden got here first, but, amazingly, they aren't hostile. Head across the plaza to town hall and talk with the kid who's been thrust into the leadership role.

=================================== [3.4] DS2 Act II Secondary Quests===================================

#1: Tywlis' Broken Staff==========================* Intended level: 30* Find the reagent Tywlis needs to repair her grandfather's staff

Tywlis lives in a house in the north of Aman'lu. She wants you to find a rainbow trinket so she can repair her grandfather's staff. Keep an eye on your inventory, it's possible you will already have one or more by the time you reach Aman'lu the first time. If not, you can pick one up in the Snowbrook Valley in the Frigid Cave. The cave is to your left as you pass over the first bridge.

#2: A Dark Ohm================* Intended level: 26* Observe the Vai'kesh during one of their rituals* Return to mage Lyssanore in Aman'lu

Speak to Lyssanore (the potions/magic merchant in Aman'lu) to start this quest to learn a chant that allows you to speak with spirits. Once you reach the Vai'kesh Forest and are pursuing the Vai'kesh Prophet, you'll see a cutscene of the Prophet setting his minions on you right after emerging from the first Large Vai'kesh Cavern.

If you explore the cave from whence the Prophet's servants come, you'll find a door. Open the door, observe the ritual, then return to Lyassanore and she'll share the Chant of the Dead with you.

#3: Spirits of Aranna=======================* Intended level: 26* Find the restless spirit in the Lost Valley of the Azunites* Find the restless spirit in the Northern Greilyn Jungle* Find the restless spirit in the Western Greilyn Jungle* Find the restless spirit near the Eastern Greilyn Beach* Find the restless spirit in the town of Eirulan* Find the restless spirit in the Temple of Xeria* Find the restless spirit in the Tranquil Cave* Find the restless spirit in Snowbrook Haven* Find the restless spirit in Arinth's Ravine* Find the restless spirit in the Aman'lu Inn* Find the restless spirit in the town of Aman'lu* Find the restless spirit in the Garden of the Ancients* Find the restless spirit in the Eastern Plain of Tears* Find the restless spirit in the town of Kalrathia* Find the restless spirit in the Mines of Kaderak* Find the restless spirit in the Morden City of Darthrul* Find the restless spirit below the town of Kalrathia* Find the restless spirit in Zaramoth's Horns

Once you have the Chant of the Dead, you can speak to any one of these spirits to open the quest. There should always be an incantation shrine near the spirit, and the chant lasts 300 seconds (5 minutes) so there's always plenty of time to get from shrine to spirit. However, if there are enemies between the shrine and the spirit, you might want to clear them out first.

1) The spirit in the Lost Valley of the Azunites hangs out near the Cavern of the Phoenix at the southern end of the valley. There's a shrine right next to the ghost.

2) The Northern Greilyn Jungle spirit is in the Hak'u caves northwest of the Eirulan North Gate. There's a shrine in the caves.

3) There's a spirit and a shrine near the Hak'u usurper's house just west of the Western Greilyn Jungle teleporter.

4) The spirit on the Greilyn Beach path can be a bit difficult to reach. The easiest way to get there is to teleport to the Azunite Desert and then use the portal to get to the beach. Otherwise you teleport to the Kithraya Valley and then have to hack your way back through the Lower Kithraya Caverns to the beach. The incantation shrine is right there above the beach path, not far from the ghost.

5) The Eirulan spirit hangs out on the bridge leading past the Falls. The incantation shrine is near the bottom of the lift coming from the Eirulan Inn.

6) In the northernmost part of the Temple of Xeria, next to the incantation shrine, is a lever which opens a secret passage leading to the Cavern of Earth. The ghost is along a south hall just inside that secret entrance.

7) The tranquil cave is behind a waterfall south of the second Morden tower from Act I, chapter 3. The quickest way to reach it is to jump to the

Northern Greilyn Jungle teleporter and head west. There's an incantation shrine just over the hills. From the shrine, run south and look for the waterfall on your right (west).

8) This spirit is in the Snowbrook Haven servant's quarters. When you first enter this area, you'll come to a large room with a lot of columns. At the northern end of the room, take the west door to find an incantation shrine. Then go through the east door, then south, then east again to find the spirit.

9) The Arinth's Ravine spirit is in the grotto where you fight the Knotted Shambler. The incantation shrine is in the Large Vai'kesh Cavern "next door".

10) There's a spirit on a balcony on the second floor of the Aman'lu Inn. The incantation shrine is in the northeast corner of the town.

11) To find the other Aman'lu spirit, enter Tywlis' basement and search for the hidden button. Take the elevator down and cross the bridge to the western hall. Search for another hidden switch, then use the nearby incantation shrine and take the secret passage down to the ghost.

12) While exploring the Azunite Burial Grounds, you'll find a large cavern with ice falling from the ceiling. There's a west path that leads out to a plateau of the Garden of the Ancients. The spirit is on the eastern peninsula of this plateau, the incantation shrine is to the west.

13) The spirit in the Eastern Plain of Tears is just past the teleporter. There is an incantation shrine a bit further to the northeast.

14) You'll find a spirit on the southwest corner of the Kalrathia battlements. The incantation shrine is just outside the North Gate.

15) Just past the Upper Mines of Kaderak (East) teleporter, go up the stairs to the west to find the room with the ghost. The incantation shrine is across the flying bridge to the east.

16) This spirit is in the town square of Darthrul. Use the incantation shrine in the District of the Crossbow, once you have access.

17) The spirit under Kalrathia is in the Agallan Trial area near the southern waterway. There's a shrine nearby to the east.

18) About halfway up Zaramoth's horns you'll find a large plateau with an incantation shrine up on a platform. The ghost is in the extreme southeast corner of the plateau.

#4: Viperclaw===============* Intended level: 19* Find a jagged arrowhead reagent and return it to Eumenidie in Aman'lu* Find a griffon feather reagent and return it to Eumenidie in Aman'lu* Find an onyx fragment reagent and return it to Eumenidie in Aman'lu

Talk to Eumenidie in Aman'lu to get this quest to make a reagent for bows/crossbows: the Viperclaw. Check your pockets regularly, as you might pick up one of the reagents without knowing it. Specifically, you can get:

* A jagged arrowhead in the southern portion of the swamp that is just north of Aman'lu.

* A griffon feather in Elen'lu Isles by following the flooded chamber to reach an island just north of your starting point.

* An onyx fragment from one of the many Small Vai'kesh Caves? in the Vai'kesh Forest.

You can take the ingredients one-by-one to Eumenidie or save them and take them all at once. Either way, once you've given her all three, you'll get a viperclaw reagent.

#5: Arinth's Legendary Staff==============================* Intended level: 26* Find the Focusing Stone* Find the Jeweled Shaft* Find the Carved Rod* Return to Eolanda in the town of Aman'lu with the pieces of Arinth's Legendary Staff

Talk to Eolanda, who lives just north of the Aman'lu pet shop to start this quest. You'll need to complete the Dark Ohm quest first, so you can speak to ghosts. Once you have the Chant, you must find three Ancient Elven Reliquaries where spirits guard the pieces of Arinth's staff.

The Focusing Stone is in a Reliquary below Isteru's Caves. Teleport to the Western Cliffs of Azunai and go east then south into the caverns and find the ruins in the southwest corner. Go up the stairs and find the shrine, incant, the take the elevator down to the Reliquary. The switch for the elevator is a button hidden on the steps next to the elevator.

The Carved Rod is in a Reliquary in the Northern Vai'lutra Forest. Head north from the Aman'lu hills until you find the incantation shrine where the path turns east. Incant the Chant of the Dead, then go north and look for a ramp leading down to a cul-de-sac. You'll find the elevator going down to the Reliquary in the cul-de-sac.

The Jeweled Shaft can be found in the Snowbrook Valley. From the Valley teleporter, after crossing the bridge, go north and find a set of stairs leading down. Go use the incantation shrine to the west, then go down these stairs and down into the Reliquary using the elevator next to the river.

Once you have all three pieces of the rod, return to Eolanda in Aman'lu to finish this quest.

#6: Arinth the Mad====================* Intended level: 26* Track down Arinth* Defeat Arinth

After remaking Arinth's Legendary Staff, return to Eirulan and teleport to the Lost Valley of the Azunites. East of the teleporter, search for an elevator--the switch is hidden on the north wall of the ruins. Ride the elevator down to Some Lost Elven Ruins.

The room in which you arrive has a single door on the north side. In the next room, search for a hidden switch on the wall opposite the door (north wall),

to open a door to the south.

In the newly revealed room, there's another hidden switch on the wall near the door. This opens another room to the south. The hidden switch in this new room is also near the door. This opens a room to the east. Find the hidden switch in this room along the south wall.

__ _| |_ | A | |_ _| _| |_ | |__ | S | | __| |_1____| | B| | |____ | | | | ___ |______2___| | |___ | C|______________| | | | | | 3| 4| |____________|______D | | ___| |___|

S) StartA) Switch opens door #1B) Switch opens door #2C) Switch opens door #3D) Switch opens door #4

You'll now be able to go down some stairs to the east, eventually arriving at an Elven Prison, where you find Arinth the Mad. Have your combat mage equip Arinth's Staff and use it to break the central pillar in Arinth's cell wall. Arinth will flee to the Temple of Istauru & Isteru in the Northern Vai'lutra Forest.

Summon a teleporter back to Eirulan, jump to Aman'lu and thence to the Elen'lu Isles. Enter the ruined temple and have it out with Arinth. You don't have to use his staff against him, he's vulnerable to normal attacks.

In addition to some tasty loot, defeating Arinth gives all your characters two bonus skill points. That was worth the trouble, right? Return to Eolanda and tell her you killed Arinth and you'll get even more filthy lucre. Ain't this a great game?

#7: Mythrilhorn=================* Intended level: 33* Find Khartos the Wise* Defeat Khartos the Wise in a duel* Go to the rift site* Cover Khartos while he captures the mythrilhorn* Remind Khartos to send the mythrilhorn back to pet seller Galeron in Aman'lu

* Speak to pet seller Galeron in Aman'lu

This quest will open another pet for you; but, you can't even really get going on it until Act III. Talk to the pet seller in Aman'lu about special beasts to open this quest. Once you reach Kalrathia, find Khartos the "Strong" as he now calls himself, drinking himself to death in the tavern.

Sober him up by beating on him for a bit and he'll head off to the rift site to summon a mythrilhorn. When you reach the Northern Plain of Tears teleporter, look to the right to find a path going down to the northeast. This leads to Khartos' Rift Site and you fight Durvla while Khartos summons a mythrilhorn.

Once you're done, talk to Khartos, then return to the pet seller in Aman'lu to buy a mythrilhorn.

#8: A Family Heirloom, Part II================================* Intended level: 26* Locate the demon* Destroy the demon* Speak with Athelas

If you completed A Family Heirloom in Act I, (and, if you kept the sword, you have it in your Inventory), you can talk to Athelas in the Aman'lu Inn to start this quest. Once you reach the Vai'kesh Forest and are pursuing the Vai'kesh Prophet, you can find a Vai'kesh Prison.

After leaving the first Large Vai'kesh Cavern, turn south to enter the prison and talk to Athelas. If you kept the heirloom sword, equip it to one of your characters and break open the demon's cage. Kill the demon. (You don't need to use the sword on the demon, just the cage.) Talk to Athelas afterward for your reward.

#9: Lothar's Innocence========================* Intended level: 24* Find Roland's golden cloak* Find Magrus* Defeat Magrus* Return to Roland in Aman'lu

With Lothar in your party, speak to Roland at the Aman'lu Inn to begin this quest. While exploring the Southern Vai'lutra Forest, look for a Watery Cave along the west side of the path, not far past the North teleporter. Enter the cave, kill the mobs and find Magrus--a half-giant farming mushrooms. Speak to him and he'll flee, dropping his house key.

Follow him to his house, which is north of the Watery Cave, in a little grove to the east of the path. Defeat him in battle and he will go to Roland and confess his crime. Return to Aman'lu and speak to Roland and Magrus at the Inn to conclude the quest.

#10: Deru's Treasure Hunt===========================* Intended level: 19* Find the explore the location identified on the map given to Deru by the

Elven prospector* Find and explore the location identified by Razka's Riddle* Find and explore the location identified by Razka's Second Riddle

In Aman'lu, find an old prospector on a small plateau southeast of the pet shop. With Deru in your party, speak to the old man to begin the quest. The map you are given shows Razka's Ruins in the Southern Greilyn Jungle. Take Deru to the Southern Greilyn Jungle teleporter and down into Razka's Ruins.

Have her open the treasure chest inside to get another riddle that points to the Frozen Cave in Arinth's Ravine. Go to Aman'lu and thence to either Arinth's Ravine teleporter and head for the Frozen Cave, which is midway through the ravine on the south side. When Deru opens the treasure chest in the cave, you'll receive a second riddle that points to the Plain of Tears.

When you reach Kalrathia, head north from the city and look for a path downward to a lower plateau to the east. At the east end of the plateau, walk into the water to reveal the hidden Magical Oasis. Deru can open the treasure chest beyond the door and complete her quest.

#11: Mark of the Assassin===========================* Intended level: 35* Pick up the intriguing stone* Encounter the assassin* Speak to Danadel* Investigate the Liantir Stone in the town of Kalrathia* Bring a Dwarven mythril ring to Enchantress Valeria in Kalrathia* Find Merchant Kendril* Defeat the assassin

In Aman'lu, in the abandoned house just southwest of the pet shop, pick up the bling-bling on the table to get yourself assassinated. Well, almost. After Danadel helps you recover, he'll tell you all about the Liantir Stone you just picked up and where to go to find out more about it.

When you reach Kalrathia at the beginning of Act III, enter the magic shop and speak to Enchantress Valeria to continue the quest. Valeria needs a mythril ring to enchant that will enable you to see the assassin who has marked you.

When you reach the Upper Mines of Kaderak, right after the cutscene that starts chapter 5, go up the stairs to the south and through the first door. Pull the lever on the south wall to open the secret room that has the Dwarven Mytrhil Ring.

Take the ring back to Valeria in Kalrathia. Equip the new ring she gives you, then go to the room behind the Innkeeper. Talk to Merchant Kendril to force the assassin to appear. Kill him and collect his Deathblades as a reward. You can also get a small reward by speaking to Kendril again.

#12: The Aman'lu Arena========================* Intended level: 19* Defeat the first wave of combatants* Defeat the second wave of combatants* Defeat the third wave of combatants* Defeat the fourth wave of combatants

* Defeat the fifth wave of combatants* Defeat the sixth wave of combatants* Defeat the seventh wave of combatants* Defeat the eighth wave of combatants* Defeat the ninth wave of combatants* Defeat the Arena Masters

Speak with the barkeep at the Aman'lu Inn and deny all the great things he's heard about you. He'll challenge you to test your skills out in an arena. Go behind the bar, through the door, down the elevator and talk to the barkeep's assistant. He'll let you through a door that leads down a long, spiral staircase to the arena.

Speak with Daesthai to open the Aman'lu Arena quest and learn the rules of the game. Basically, you pay for a token, place that token on the pedestal in the center of the arena, the arena floor drops and some monsters come spewing forth. Defeat them, then click the Forfeit Lever to raise the arena. (Yes, you use the "forfeit" lever to raise the arena--sort of like using the Start button to Stop Windows.)

Defeating the monsters earns you a key. The keys you earn open doors to treasure rooms around the arena. There are ten rounds in all. You do not have to use the keys immediately. You can even wait until you're near the end of the game before opening the treasure rooms. Since the treasure dropped depends on your level, you'll get better stuff that way.

One last note, the Aman'lu Arena is a natural item farm. You can win all ten rounds, save your game, then start opening treasure rooms. If you don't like what you get, you just reload and it's only a short trip back to the arena and you start opening doors again.

Finally, for defeating all ten rounds of the Arena, you get two bonus skill points for each character, the Mysterious Token (part of the Mysterious Mystery Quest) and you can then purchase the light naiad pet from Daesthai.

The rounds are:

Round Cost Mobs (quantity x level)----- ----- ------------------------------------------------ 1 1,000 1x24 and 2x22 monsters 2 1,500 1x26 and 3x24 (the 24th level mobs are summoners) 3 2,000 1x28 and 4x26 4 3,000 1x30 and 4x28 5 4,000 5x33 6 6,000 1x38, 4x36 7 8,000 1x34, 6x37 8 12,000 1x39, 7x37 9 16,000 1x40, 10x3910 25,000 2x40, 10x37

#13: A Servant's Haunt========================* Intended level: 26* Enter the Levreth Estate* Learn the Chant of the Dead* Speak with the ghost of Threnith Wilwarin* Follow the ghost of Threnith Wilwarin and look for clues* Find the jewels of the Levreth Estate* Bring the proof of Threnith's Innocence back to Eldoriath Wilwarin in the

town of Aman'lu

Speak to Eldoriath in his house just past the south bridge out of Aman'lu. Once you have the Chant of the Dead, go to the Southern Vai'lutra Forest (South) teleporter, which is the one next to the destroyed royal caravan. Use the incantation shrine on the hill behind the teleporter to incant the Chant of the Dead, then go east to the entrance to the Levreth Estate, which looks like a kind of shrine with an elevator in the middle.

At the bottom of the double elevators, speak to the ghost of Threnith. He'll unlock the south door for you. Go in the room and pick up the portrait of Lady Levreth. Speak to Threnith again and he'll open another door for you. Continue collecting clues and talking to Threnith until you have the lock of golden hair, a burned letter and the family jewels. Return to Eldoriath to finish this quest.

#14: A Servant's Haunt, Part II=================================* Intended level: 26* Confront Lady Levreth in the town of Eirulan* Confront Wethril the Guardian Commander in the town of Aman'lu* Defeat Wethril the Guardian Commander* Speak to Celeb'hel the Elder in Aman'lu's Alt'orn Hall about Wehtril's deception

After completing Part I, talk to Threnith (who is now in Eldoriath's house) to open this quest. Return to Eirulan and seek out Lady Levreth at the Inn. Push her on the subject of her husband's death and she'll confess and name the true killer: Guardian Commander Wethril in Aman'lu. Return to Aman'lu and confront Wethril, who is in Alt'orn Hall next to Celeb'hel. After killing him, talk to Celeb'hel to end this quest.

#15: Amren's Vision=====================* Intended level: 19* Find and explore the first location in Amren's vision* Find and explore the second location in Amren's vision* Find and explore the third location in Amren's vision* Find and explore the fourth location in Amren's vision* Investigate the portal in Amren's vision

Throughout your travels, you will find some mushrooms growing in large circles. Obviously, natural mushrooms do not grow in exact circles. Take Amren with you to one of these circles and he'll have a vision. Talk to him afterward to open this quest.

Visit each of the four circles with Amren in your party and have him activate the proper (glowing) mushroom to take you to four different shrines. Let Amren activate the statue in each shrine. When you visit the shrines, you can also pick up a Lore book in each one.

The four mushroom circles are:

* Eastern Greilyn Jungle, on a north-pointing promontory just east of Razka's Ruins. Use the Southern Greilyn Jungle teleporter to get there. This is the Shrine of Life, and has Vol. 17, The Path of Life.

* Southern Vai'lutra Forest, just west of the North teleporter. This is the

Shrine of Sight, and has Vol. 18, The Path of Sight.

* North of the Garden of the Ancients (South) teleporter. This is the Shrine of Death, and has Vol. 19, The Path of Death.

* West of the Ruins of Okaym teleporter, a little north of the main path. This is the Shrine of Blindness, and has Vol. 20, The Path of Blindness.

Once you have activated the statue in each shrine, a portal opens to a fifth shrine. In this one is the end-of-quest treasaure chest Amren must open and it yields the Virtuous Rebellion longbow, amongst other goodies. Once you're done salivating over your swag, take the portal from the fifth shrine back to any one of the other four.

#16: Finala's Contempt========================* Intended level: 22* Explore the hidden Morden intelligence camp* Find and burn down the first hidden Morden tower* Find and burn down the second hidden Morden tower* Find and burn down the third hidden Morden tower* Find and burn down the fourth hidden Morden tower* Locate and destroy the hidden Durvla hatchery* Find and explore the second Morden intelligence camp

Initiate this quest by taking Finala to the broken elevator in the Upper Kithraya Caverns. With Finala as the active character, click the broken mechanism and ride the elevator down into a Morden intelligence camp. Have Finala open the treasure chest to get a map to four hidden Morden towers.

Teleport to the Southern Greilyn Jungle and head west to the Abandoned Ruins. Finala will find a secret door inside the ruins and you can follow the path to an elevator that takes you up to a plateau with the first Morden tower. Destroy it as you did the towers in Act I.

Teleport to the Northern Greilyn Jungle and go to the impassable wall just north of the teleporter. Finala will find the secret entrance. Pass through and destroy three Morden towers. After the final tower is destroyed, Finala finds another map and an elevator gear.

When you reach the Morden city of Darthrul in Act III, Chapter 2, take Finala down the east path from the town square. She'll find the hidden entrance to the Durvla Hatchery. Clear out the mobs, then blow open the cage by shooting the explosive, spiked container next to it. Finala can loot the chest to find a Morden Wrench, which will come in handy for fixing elevators.

When you reach the Southern Desert of Kaderak (Act III, Chapter 4), take the north path past the entrance to the mines and follow it until you find an elevator on a small hill. Finala will fix the elevator, and you can clear out the intelligence camp and loot the chest to end the quest.

#17: Rahvan's Curse=====================* Intended level: 28* Find Letiso the lich* Defeat Letiso the lich* Return Champion Rahvan's soulstone

Show Champion Rahvan the four Death Masks to gain entrance to the Azunite Burial Grounds. Follow up with him about his memories coming back and he'll ask you to find and destroy the lich that killed him and enslaved his spirit. He'll give you a chant (Letiso) to use to find the lich's secret tomb.

When you get to the lower Azunite Catacombs, the path will soon split. Take the south path to find a shrine. Clear it out, then stand on the purple tree symbol on the east side of the room. Incant the Letiso chant and the door to the lich's tomb will open.

Kill the lich and return to Rahvan to conclude the quest.

#18: Evangeline's Folly=========================* Intended level: 28* Seek Jessic and the soldiers in the Vai'kesh stronghold* Seek Jessic in the second Vai'kesh stronghold* Seek Jessic in the third Vai'kesh stronghold

Add Princess Evangeline (Eva) to your party and equip her appropriately. Teleport to the Southern Vai'lutra Forest (South) teleporter and talk to the wounded caravan guard. He'll open Evangeline's Folly quest.

Teleport to the Western End of Arinth's Ravine. Follow the main path west until you reach a bridge. Before the bridge, turn left (west) and go along the edge of the chasm to reach a small cave. You'll be able to get through the locked door and pick a fight with the Vai'kesh in the room and the room beyond, which contains the jailor, who is mini-boss level. After killing all the Vai'kesh, speak with Eva's soldier in the jail cell.

The next cavern in your quest is along the north side of Arinth's Ravine, so hoof it back the way you came and fight your way along the ravine to the large cavern on the north side. Enter the cave, find the door and repeat the process of killing the jailor and talking to the soldier.

The third, and final, cave is further along the ravine, so head east. When you get to the second bridge, instead of crossing, continue east to find the entrance to the cave. Enter, kill the jailor and talk to Jessic to end the quest.

================================== [3.5] DS2 Act III Primary Quests==================================

Chapter 1: Restore Kalrathia's Water======================================* Follow the aqueduct to its source* Defeat the Ganth* Restore Kalrathia's water* Return to Lord Kalrathia in the great hall

Leave Kalrathia by the North Gate and follow the path until you reach the Water Temple. Inside the temple, fight the Ganth, who has 12,500 health; is resistant to fire, lightning and death damage and has health stealing ability on its weapon. But, tough as the Ganth is, when you exit into the Temple Courtyard, you're in for much worse.

The Courtyard is crawling with Morden and you will be hard pressed. Plenty of AoE powers are the name of the game. When everything is dead, push the glowing button on the north wall to turn the water on. Teleport back to Kalrathia and speak to Lord Kalrathia.

Chapter 2: The Morden Chief=============================* Enter the Morden city of Darthrul* Speak to the Morden Chief* Defeat the Morden Chief* Bring the head of the Morden Chief back to Lord Kalrathia

Leave Kalrathia by the East Gate and fight your way through the Eastern Plain of Tears and Ruins of Okaym. Once you enter Darthrul, you should meet a Patrol Leader who, when killed, will drop a key to the District of the Sword, which is located in the northeast quadrant of the city. Enter and kill the City Lieutenant for the key to the District of the Crossbow.

That district is the southwest quadrant. Once again, enter and kill the City Lieutenant, who drops the key to the District of the Lance. The District of the Lance is in the northwest and the City Lieutenant drops the key to the District of the Chief.

Enter the District of the Chief to the north. Fight your way to the Chief, speak to him, then kill him. Return to Kalrathia and talk to Lord Kalrathia to start Chapter 3.

Chapter 3: The Kalrathian Rebellion=====================================* Defeat all the Morden in the town of Kalrathia* Report to Tehruth

Well, this is pretty simple. You just wiped out a whole city of Morden, now all you have to do is clear them out of Kalrathia. There are 30 Morden, and the game will count them down for you. Zoom in on your map to find the little red dots, and don't forget about the North Wall, where there are about six Morden. Once they are all dead (you'll get a task entry in your Quest log), return to the great hall and speak to Tehruth.

Chapter 4: The Mines of Kaderak=================================* Travel to the Desert of Kaderak* Destroy the first protective statue* Destroy the second protective statue* Destroy the third protective statue* Destroy the fourth protective statue* Enter the Mines of Kaderak

After Kalrathia gives you the Aegis of Sight, Tehruth will give you an activation stone for the Southern Desert of Kaderak teleporter. Teleport there and head north to the entrance to the mines. Destroy the four statues around the entrance, then ride the elevator down. Head down the stairs until you see the cutscene showing the giant shard.

Chapter 5: The Mines of Kaderak, Part II==========================================

* Destroy the giant shard cluster* Find the Dark Wizards* Destroy the Dark Wizards* Recover the Aegis of Life* Return to Lord Kalrathia with the Aegis of Life

Work your way east through the Upper Mines of Kaderak, pulling each lever you find. This will send an explosive-filled mine cart into the giant shard and open the way into the Lower Mines. Descend into the shard pit, then climb the wooden ramps to enter the Lower Mines.

Follow the path north, then east to reach a large elevator that takes you to the Summit of the Dark Wizards. Ride up the second elevator to your boss fight against the wizards.

These guys are more powerful versions of the one you faced when rescuing Evangeline--and there are three of them. Make sure you have a Nature Mage with the Resurrection spell or lots of Resurrection scrolls available.

Tactics are roughly the same. Take out the crystals that defend the wizards, then unload on them with powers. When you see circles (of lightning, death or fire) surrounding your characters, run! Concentrate on one wizard at a time. Fortunately, these guys don't summon anything, and they don't do a lot to help each other out.

Stick to one like glue until he's toast, then move on to the next one. Keep an eye out for those circles of doom at your feet and be patient. They are susceptible to curses, so having a combat mage with a decent curse or two will be helpful. And you can have your nature mage cast Spirit Embrace to make your party immune to the wizards' curses.

When all three are dead, take the Aegis of Life and return to the Lower Mines and teleport back to town. Lord Kalrathia is ill and in bed in his room on the west side of the great hall. Speak to him to learn how, now that you have the four pieces, you can reforge the Shield of Azunai.

Chapter 6: The Agallan Trial==============================* Speak to Advisor Kynos* Defeat Advisor Kynos* Take the Kalrathian Crystal to the fountain in the center of the town of Kalrathia* Enter the ancient chamber underneath the town of Kalrathia* Speak to the Azunite Ancestor* Restore water to the western waterway* Restore water to the northern waterway* Restore water to the southern waterway* Restore water to the eastern waterway* Go through the portal to the Agallan Peaks

Your first task is to speak to Advisor Kynos, who no one in their right mind would like. Fortunately, you get to kill him. You'll get the Kalrathian Crystal that unlocks the Agallan Trial under the city. You also get Kynos' house key; he lives in the north section of town if you want to help yourself to his things. He won't be needing them any longer.

*NOTE* From this point, it is a long time until you see your next teleporter--about a quarter of the way through Chapter 8. You can use the town portal spell (Summon Teleporter), but those don't last through a reload. So don't

start this next section unless you have some time to play. If you quit any time before the next teleporter, you're going to have a long, long trek in front of you.

Use the crystal on the glowing corner of the fountain, then press any of the buttons to ride down into the Agallan Trial area. Down the steps you go until you reach a large room and get a cutscene with your instructions. Talk to the Azunite Ancestor, then head through the west door.

Down more stairs...and more...and some more. When you finally hit bottom, go down into the water trough and pull the lever to open the sluice gate. Then turn the valve to start the water in the western waterway. Go through the broken wall into a tunnel.

The tunnel soon branches north and south. You can go either way, but, since the Quest Log lists the northern waterway next, head north. When you get back into the man-made section, look for a Mysterious Chant in the corner.

Note the three large stone controllers at the edge of the platform. These control floodgate doors down below. You have to activate them in various combinations to enable your party to get through to unblock the waterway and turn on the water. Each of the floodgate controllers has a center "button" that is either up or down.

The easiest thing to do is to enter Wait mode and send one character down and keep the others next to the controllers. It's easier to move one character around in the small rooms.

For the northern puzzle, set the controllers so the Center controller button is down and the other two are up. Go down into the waterway, open the gate and turn on the water. Go into the northwest room and around to the northeast room. Hit the switch in here so it is up and open the way to the south room. Push the switch in the south room down to open the way to the east platform.

On the platform, push the button on the east wall to open part of a shortcut to the southern/eastern waterway. Then go to the south end of the platform, enter the waterway and open the gate. This is actually for the eastern waterway, but might as well do it now.

Then go back into the northern waterway and open the second gate. The water should be running freely now. Go up onto the northern platform, reform your party (if you went solo), enter the room to the west and push the button on the wall to open a door back to the west waterway. Enter the tunnel and go south.

Along the way you'll encounter Spirit of Aranna #17. The incantation shrine is just to the east of the ghost. When you reach the southern waterway, open two gates and then turn on the water.

Go up on the platform and push each controller down, enter Wait mode and send your PC down into the waterway and open the gate. Enter the southeast corner room and thence into the southwest corner. Set this switch down and exit the room to open the last two gates to let the water run through.

Go back into the southwestern corner room and set the switch up to open the door north. Push this next switch down to open the north door and go through and open the gate. Return to the northwest room.

Here's where it get's much easier to do this in Wait mode. You have to turn the two switches up on the platform to the up position. This opens the way to

get from the northwest room over to the northeast section of the waterway and open the last two gates and turn on the water. So you just change to another character, hit the two switches on the platform and you're home free.

If you haven't used the solo trick, here's what you have to do. Hit the switch in the northwest room to get to the southwest room. Hit the switch to open the door into the southern waterway. Go up to the platform and hit both switches. Go back to the southwest room, hit the switch, enter the northwest room and hit the switch and now you can get through.

For the record, to the north of the eastern water valve is a platform with a mana shrine (and a Mysterious Chant behind the shrine). At the west end of this platform is the button on the wall that opens the shortcut to the north platform, which you'll need to use if you did not previously open that last east gate.

To quickly get back to the stairs leading up, return through the south waterway and enter a room to the north and push the button on the wall to open a shortcut to the western waterway. Head up the stairs, through the big door, collect your loot and go through the portal.

Chapter 7: The Agallan Giants===============================* Investigate the Agallan Peaks* Use the portal to travel to Zaramoth's Horns

Nothing to do here but go talk to the giants. After your chat, step through the new portal and get ready to start fighting again...

Chapter 8: Zaramoth's Horns=============================* Ascend to the top of the mountain* Defeat the Archmage

Enter the hall to the east and fight your way to an elevator. You may note some Eyes of Zaramoth statues scattered about. Hitting them causes them to shoot a highly damaging beam of light. This technique is not important now, but will be later.

The elevator takes you down into a prison, where you quickly come to another elevator that takes you up to a platform with three other elevators. The Agallan Obelisk in the center of the platform grants 30 seconds of invulneratiblity when used. Your party must be close by to be affected, so regroup around the obelisk before clicking.

The northwest elevator takes you to nature and combat mage sanctuary doors and another elevator that puts you back on the main path, right at the Lower Zaramoth's Horns teleporter. Head north from the teleporter.

After the long bridge is a room with three doors. Go east and keep fighting your way until you get outside. Take the southern door from the incantation shrine area and begin a long (and possibly arduous) slaughterfest until you reach the archmage.

There's a teleporter right before you enter the Archmage's Chamber. This is the last teleporter in the game. If you quit the game, or your entire party dies, after this point, you will have to return here and do everything again (except for the Archmage fight).

The archmage fight takes place on a platform surrounded by obelisks. You can use the obelisks yourself, but the archmage uses them too and therein lies the problem. On his own, the archmage is not that difficult. He's got 90,000 health, but he won't do much damage to your party.

The missiles he summons out of the obelisks are something else entirely. Every so often, the archmage will "convert" an obelisk to his own use and it will start firing out missiles. These missiles are instant death for any character they touch. They move slowly, so you can dodge them, but if the archmage converts a lot of obelisks, you're in big trouble.

Make sure you have a nature mage with a resurrection spell and some rez scrolls for the other characters in case the nature mage bites the dust. You can "redeem" an obelisk the archmage has converted by attacking the obelisk. However, in the long run, you are better off simply unloading every power in your book on the archmage himself.

This is likely to be the longest, most difficult battle yet. Once he's defeated, the final battle is waiting at the top of the stairs.

Chapter 9: The Final Ascent=============================* Locate the Temple of Valdis* Destroy Valdis* Go through the portal

You've got a lot of stairs to climb, and every inch is contested--many times by groups of mini-bosses. If you've been following this guide and doing every sidequest, you're probably running four to five levels above everything you encounter, so this is mostly tedious.

*NOTE* It cannot be stressed enough that if you quit or die here, you have to make this ascent again and all the mobs respawn.

When you finally reach the Temple of Valdis, it is remarkably (and comfortingly clear). Open a town portal and hie thee back to Kalrathia for a refit. Make sure you have rez scrolls for everybody. Lots of potions. Etc.

Continue into the temple until you meet Valdis. Don't try to attack him, he's invulnerable. The only way to hurt him is to lure him in front of one of the Eyes of Zaramoth placed on the edges of the room, then beat on the eye to open it (and they don't have great range). Conversely, Valdis can kill you quite easily. No matter how well you've outfitted your party, one sword combo from Valdis and they all turn into grave markers.

The best way to handle Valdis is to get beyond an Eye in a straight line from Valdis, so that he is forced to walk directly past the Eye you're near. Time it so your ranger starts attacking the Eye when Valdis is about three to four steps away (or two or five, depending on the damage your ranger can do). If you time it right, Valdis will get zapped before he even gets close enough to you to start swinging.

For example:

Eye

Valdis

X - start shooting the Eye when Valdis is here

Eye

You

It will take patience and practice, but once perfected, you can take Valdis out pretty easily. You have to hit him three times to advance to the next stage of the fight. After the first hit, Valids summons a horde of Qatall Minions. Take them out while staying away from Valdis, then re-commence the luring/zapping project.

After the third hit, you get the Fantasy RPG Plot Twists for Idiots cutscene and the fight against Valdis takes on a more traditional flavor. Valdis is now, essentially, just another boss character. He's got 90,000 health and he can regenerate, so you don't want to leave him alone for a long time.

Don't worry about falling into the lava, if your characters are reasonably well-equipped, you won't get hurt (much). Just don't go swimming in it. Lay into Valdis with everything you've got.

Valdis has four main attacks:

* A shockwave that will throw your characters back. Not a huge problem, even if you fall in the lava. However, if your party is melee-heavy, it will push the fighters off Valdis for a few seconds, during which he can regenerate. Don't worry about the shockwave and just keep at him

* He will bring rocks crashing down. This is (or should be) a non-issue. A few rocks shouldn't hurt you, but, if they're giving you fits, just watch for the enlarging shadows and run away.

* A gigantic fireball. This one's dangerous. Fortunately, Valdis starts to glow yellow before releasing it, and he won't change his orientation once he starts the spell. So, as soon as Valdis begins to glow yellow, run behind him and attack his back while he blasts empty air with a pretty fireball.

* More a defensive maneuver than an attack, Valdis will clone himself, giving himself time to regenerate while you attack a clone. However, the clones don't react to attacks--they don't physically react and they don't make any noise. So if you hit a Valdis and it doesn't do anything, go attack another one.

Once you take off one-third of his health, he summons a horde of Qatall Minions. By this point, Qatall Minions should be little more trouble than flies. Don't worry about them and concentrate on Valdis.

When Valdis reaches 0 health, he revives and summons a shield around himself. (So, why didn't he do this earlier?) You can't penetrate the shield, but the great big Eye of Zaramoth that was just revealed, can. This one's easy because Valdis doesn't have his sword. Stand in front of the eye, wait for Valdis to get close, then whack it. Brutal Strike or Take Aim (or some other high-damage, single strike power) works very well.

After the cutscenes you can return to Kalrathia and finish up whatever you've left hanging. This would be a good time to do The Mysterious Mystery Quest. You can also arrange your companions and equipment for playing at the next difficulty level. One thing you might want to do now is visit a store and buy some 0-level bows, swords and spells. If you want to do a little multi-

classing at the higher difficulty levels, you won't be able to buy any 0-level gear to get you started. So buy it now and stick it in your Storage Vault or on a pet at the Inn.

==================================== [3.6] DS2 Act III Secondary Quests====================================

#1: Dwarven Song of Ore=========================* Intended level: 35* Find the Silver stanza* Find the Iron stanza* Find the Gold stanza* Find the Mythril stanza* Return the stanzas to Historian Leontia* Return with the fourth stanza to Historian Leontia

Talk to Historian Leontia in the great hall of Kalrathia to begin this quest. You'll find the stanzas in the Mines of Kaderak.

* The Silver stanza is in the Upper Mines in a side room just past the third lever.

* The Iron stanza is in a side room just past the East teleporter. Go up the stairs to the west and look in the room with the Spirit of Aranna.

* The Gold stanza is in a hidden room east of the elevator to the Lower Mines. There's a set of three rooms, go to the west room and pull the lever to expose the chest with the stanza.

* The Mythril stanza, which is not originally part of the quest, is in a chest just south of the Lower Mines teleporter.

It makes no difference whether you return the first three stanzas to Leontia and then bring her the fourth, or just bring her all four at once. The reward is the same in either case, and includes both the Chant of Prosperity and the Greater Chant of Prosperity.

#2: The Lore of Aranna========================* Intended level: 33* Find the Lore of Aranna collection and return to Telgrey the Scholar

Telgrey lives in a house in the northeast corner of Kalrathia. Ascend the stairs near the East Gate and go north into his room. Talk to him about the Lore of Aranna. There are 20 volumes in the collection:

1) Kings and Queens of the Northern Reaches: Snowbrook Haven Servant's Quarters

2) The Dark Wizards: Vai'kesh Sanctuary, on a table on a stairway as you leave the sanctuary

3) Downfall of the Manu Ostar: In Alar'ithil's house south-west of the south bridge out of Aman'lu

4) Valdis and His Armies: In Tywlis' house in Aman'lu

5) Turmanar and its Aftermath: In Alt'orn Hall in Aman'lu

19) The Path of Death: Shrine of Death (part of Amren's Vision quest)

20) The Path of Blindness: Shrine of Blindness (part of Amren's Vision quest)

Vol. 20 should be the last one you collect, as it isn't available until Chapter 2 of Act III. Once you have them all, return to Telgrey. When you first talk to him to complete the quest, all he gives you as a reward is a "book" called "The Mercenary and the Scholar".

If you read this little ode, it's obviously a joke. Talk to Telgrey again to receive your true reward, which will include the Mysterious Book, part of the Mysterious Mystery Quest.

#3: The Lost Jewels of Soranith=================================* Intended level: 33* Enter the Ancient Vault* Solve the second puzzle within the vault and see if there are any jewels locked within* Solve the third puzzle within the vault and investigate the area for more jewels* Return to Kevarre the Explorer in the Kalrathia tavern

Enter the tavern in Kalrathia and speak to Kevarre the Explorer. He'll spin a tale of an ancient vault of Soranith, in which he found an amulet. He thinks there are more jewels in the set, and tasks you with finding them.

While walking through the Northern Plain of Tears, look for a path down to a plateau to the east, just before reaching the teleporter. Enter the square tower on the south side of the plateau and descend into a Mysterious Vault. Fight your way through to the second vault and clear the room.

Great! More light puzzles.

There are five obelisks in the room, each connected by channels like so (north orientation):

_________ | | __________A____ |_____ | | | | | | |____ | | | | | | | | | | _____B_________C | | | | | | | | |____ D_____| | | | | E____| |____|

The channels are initially dark, they must be lit. When you click an obelisk, all other obelisks connected by an unlit channel start to glow. Click one of those obelisks and the channel lights up and the other obelisk becomes active. So on and so forth. Once a channel between two obelisks is lit, you can't "connect" those two obelisks again. The statue on the south side of the room resets the puzzle if you get stuck.

There's probably several solutions to this, but here's one:D - A - C - D - B - A - E - B - C

Two doors to the south will open. In the next room get Soranith's Silver Ring from a treasure chest behind the west door, then go through the south door, down the stairs and into a more complicated light puzzle.

This time there are nine obelisks like so (north orientation):

_____A_______________B C_____ | | | | | | | __________| | | | | | | | | | | ___________| | | | | | | | | | | | | D |____E___________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _____F_____| | | | | | | | | | | |_____G_________| | |_____ | | | | | | |_______________H___________I

Again, there are probably several solutions, here is one:H - F - I - H - G - A - D - G - E - F - C - E - B - A

A door to the south opens, collect a Mysterious Chant (Rando Conjurum Ix) and Soranith's Gold Ring. Return to Kevarre in the Kalrathia tavern to end the quest and receive Soranith's Amulet, completing your set.

#4: The Legendary Mace of Agarrus===================================* Intended level: 33* Talk to Explorer Tai'esse in Aman'lu* Find the stone tablet fragment* Return the stone tablet fragment to Explorer Tai'esse in Aman'lu* Enter the tomb of Agarrus and locate the mage

In Kalrathia, in the northern section of the city, find a soldier named Berseba and talk to her about the mace of Agarrus. Head to Aman'lu and find Tai'esse at the Inn. Speak to her to receive a stone key, which will lead to a fragment of a stone tablet.

Teleport to the Snowbrook Foothills and go a bit north and then south and then east into an entrance to the Snowbrook Grotto. From the entrance, go south and then west, keeping an eye out for man-made steps leading down to your left (south). Go down the steps, open the door and collect the fragment.

Return to Aman'lu and speak to Tai'esse. Travel to Eirulan and teleport to the Western Cliffs of Azunai. Go south into the Azunite Cavern where you retrieved the Artifact. The tomb is in the northwest corner. Extend the south bridge over to the tomb by finding the switch hidden on the north wall of the small ruin near the bridge.

Enter the tomb and speak to Guardian Magentus to close the quest and receive the mace.

#5: The Mage's Apprentice===========================* Intended level: 34* Find Apprentice Darek and Mage Boden's research journal* Return to Mage Boden with his journal* Defeat Mage Boden* Speak with Apprentice Darek

Speak to Mage Boden in the Kalrathia magic shop to begin this quest. He'll give you a golden mirror and some directions to where his apprentice might have gone. When you reach Darthrul in Chapter 2, before entering the gate, head west and go down into the dry canal.

At the end of the canal, go up the stairs and then down into Some Ancient Ruins.

Oh boy! Another light puzzle!

The statue on the north side of the room is missing its mirror, the golden one Mage Boden gave you fits quite nicely and starts the beam of light. There are two doors, to the north and west, and you must shine the light on each to open it. There are 17 statues in all, scattered about the room.

The north door is simple, direct the light south one statue, west one statue, south one statue, east one statue and then north to unlock the door.

Door

| | 1 | | 3-------------2 | | | | | | | | | | | | 4----------5

The west door is a bit more complicated.

Direct the light all the way to the south end of the room, to the fourth statue. NOTE You will have to turn statues out of the way to let the light pass. Send the light east one statue, then north one statue, then west three statues. Now direct the beam south one statue, east two statues, south one statue then west and move all the intervening statues out of the way until the light hits the west door.

1 | X |X 5------------|---4 | | | 6------------|---|--------------7 |X | | | | | | | | Door------------------|---|--------------8 X X X| | X | | | | 2---3X = Statues that must be turned out of the way to let the light beam pass.

Beyond the west door is a treasure room. Behind the north door is Mage Boden's apprentice, Darek. Turns out Boden is a nasty guy.

Gee, what a surprise.

Return to Kalrathia and confront and kill Boden. Darek then mysteriously appears. Talk to him to close the quest and earn your reward.

#6: The Kalrathian Nexus==========================* Intended level: 33* Imbue the Soul Staff at the Node of Earth* Imbue the Soul Staff at the Node of Frost* Imbue the Soul Staff at the Node of the Phoenix* Return to Nora

Near the North Gate of Kalrathia you'll find Nora the Nature Mage. Speak to her about the seal placed on the Kalrathian Nexus. She'll give you a Soul Staff, which needs to be imbued with power from three ley lines.

* The Node of Earth is located in the Cavern of Earth in the north part of Xeria's Temple. Find the secret passage next to the incantation shrine and

follow it to the cavern.

* The Node of Frost is located in the Cavern of Frost in the Snowbrook Haven Servant's Quarters. Opposite the incantation shrine, go through the north door to reach the cavern.

* The Node of the Phoenix is located in the Cavern of the Phoenix at the south end of the Lost Valley of the Azunites.

Enter each cavern, descend to the center, equip the staff and incant the chant Nora teaches you (Arcesso Arcanum). Once the staff has been imbued at all three nodes, take it to the Kalrathian Nexus, which is a cave along the north side of the Eastern Plain of Tears.

Equip the staff and break the seal over the nexus. Return to Nora to receive the Soulstaff of the Nexus and other junk as your reward.

#7: Sartan's Suspicion========================* Intended level: 33* Find Osric, a suspected spy working for the Morden* Find the Morden arsenal* Free the prisoners* Return to Soldier Orayne

In Kalrathia, take Sartan into the tavern and speak to a drunkard named Feltan. He'll point you to the location of a suspected spy hiding out in the Eastern Plain of Tears. When you reach the Eastern Plain of Tears, keep heading east away from the city until you enter A Mysterious Cavern.

With Sartan in your party, knock on the door at the east end of the cavern. Sartan will kill Osric, then find out Osric was a double agent. Now it's up to Sartan to rescue some prisoners of the Morden. When you reach the Ruins of Okaym teleporter, head west into the hills to find the Morden arsenal.

Enter and clear out the Morden. When you find the prisoners, blow open their cells by exploding the spiked containers next to the cell doors. Use a ranged weapon or spell to blow them open, unless your fighter is a masochist. Then return to the Mysterious Cavern and speak to Orayne to finish the quest.

#8: The Morden Riders=======================* Intended level: 35* Find a Morden tent* Find a sack of Morden rations* Find a pack of Klask rations* Bring the supplies to Nordax and Neillibok

When clearing the District of the Lance in Darthrul, look for the hidden switch that lowers an elevator to a cellar. Kill the Lieutenant in the cellar and get the key to the District of the Shield. In that District, enter the pit along the south wall and find the hidden switch that lowers an elevator to the eastern end of the dry canal.

Fight your way east until you meet Nordax and Neillibok. Agree to help them find supplies so they can desert. Return to Darthrul and raid the supply vaults in the Districts of the Crossbow, Lance and Shield. Go back to the Riders and talk to them. Pick up your reward from the Ancient Vault behind

the east wall.

#9: Vix's Vengeance=====================* Investigate the additional mine caverns Vix discovered* Destroy the first cluster of shards* Destroy the second cluster of shards* Destroy the third cluster of shards

After reaching the Lower Mines of Kaderak, look for a path east. Take Vix along the path to the large door, which he will break down. Clear out the mines beyond. When you reach a shard cluster, look for the exploding mine cart nearby. Pull a lever to turn the tracks the correct direction, then pull another lever to send the cart into the cluster. After the third cluster, loot the area behind the shard.

========================================== [3.7] Broken World Part 1 Primary Quests==========================================

Chapter 1: Kanred the Mage============================* Speak with Burk.* Find Kanred the Mage and try to reason with him.* Defeat Kanred the Mage.* Return to Burk at the Dryad Outpost.

You begin in a Dryad Outpost somewhere in the wilderness. Standing right in front of you (with that nice little question mark floating over his head) is Burk. His brother, Kanred, is a mage gone mad. The Dryads are out to kill Kanred and Burk wants you to find him first. This kicks off your first primary quest. Leave by the south gate of the Outpost into the Blasted Valley. Fight your way south through the Blighted Hills to reach Kanred.

Kanred is your first boss fight and reveals what will become a typical pattern. One of his attacks is to teleport into the center of your group and release a powerful, radial magic attack. This attack is almost certain death for your mages and will put a serious hurt on rangers and some fighters. When he teleports into your midst, run. Then turn and pound on him. Beyond the teleport attack, Kanred isn't that dangerous, with very average magic attacks.

After Kanred is dead, return to the Outpost and speak to Burk. Part of your reward is Kanred's staff, repaired, which will now allow you to open some of those caverns south of the Outpost.

Chapter 2: The Mage's Tutor=============================* Use Kanred's staff on the magic sealing the cave in the Blighted hills.* Find and confront Kanred's tutor.* Defeat the Morden Gral rogue mage.* Speak to Sentinel Kirani to get directions to Aman'lu.

Teleport to Blighted Hills (North); go west to a cave entrance blocked by shimmering lights. You can use Kanred's repaired staff to open the cave entrance. Follow this Dusty Cavern until you enter the Kelvaran Waste.

Travel east, through the Waste, until you reach the Chapter 2 boss fight against Kikrak. This fight is almost identical to the one against Kanred, except Kikrak has a Familiar. Kill the Familiar first (you have to kill it twice, and watch for the explosion after you kill it the first time). Make sure you run away when Kikrak teleports inside your party. After the Familiar is dead, Kikrak himself should be a piece of cake.

Teleport back to the Dryad Outpost.

Chapter 3: In Search of Celia===============================* Give the password Kirani taught you to the Guardian statue in Arinth's Heights.* Find Warden Celia.* Destroy Celeb'hel the Rogue Mage.* Convince Warden Celia to open the path to Aman'lu.

Find Kirani in the domed structure on the east side of camp and speak to her. She'll give you a password that will allow you to pass Dryad Guardian Statues that block entrances with vines. Refit your party and Leave by the north gate to enter Arinth's Gorge. You'll go over a bridge, then down into a gully and under that same bridge.

Continue north, past the Arinth's Gorge teleporter, to a vine-blocked cave. Use the password to enter the Hak'u Tunnels. Beyond is Arinth's Heights. This is a long, relatively straight climb with three teleporters along the way (Lower, Upper and Summit).

Continue to the summit of Arinth's Heights, where you encounter another mage gone mad. This one is familiar; it's Celeb'hel, the Elder leader of the Aman'lu. You are forced to fight him and the fight plays out exactly like the battles against Kanred and Kikrak. The biggest difference this time is Celeb'hel is a bit more dangerous even when not executing his teleport-circle-of-death attack. You may need to buff up a bit and stock up on health potions using the Arinth's Heights (Summit) teleporter before you take him on.

When Celeb'hel is defeated, you get a soulstone, an entry for "Celeb'hel the Elder" side quest, a conversation with Celia and the next chapter.

============================================ [3.8] Broken World Part 1 Secondary Quests============================================

#1 Hunt for the Lost Dwarves==============================* Look for clues of the Lost Dwarves.* Return to Yoren with news of your find.* Bring Yoren to the abandoned mine.* Explore the hidden cache.* Find a way to enter the Glorydeep Mine.* Find someone with information about the Glitterdelve family's fate.

In the Dryad Outpost you'll find a dwarf named Yoren. Speak to him to initiate this quest to find his lost brethren. He wants you to look for clues to their whereabouts during your travels. As you travel south from the

Outpost, you will go through the Blasted Valley and then into the Blighted Hills. Just before entering the Blighted Hills, there's a cave entrance to the east. You have to leave the beaten track to find it. Inside is an Abandoned Mine; entering it automatically gives you a "clue" and an update to your journal.

Return to Yoren. He wants to join you and check out the mine himself. You have to add him to your party to continue this quest. Once he's on board, teleport to the Blighted Hills (North) teleporter, go north over the bridge, then head east to the Abandoned Mine. Inside, approach the north wall of the mine and Yoren can activate the switch that opens the secret door (the switch starts to glow, so you can't miss it). Inside, collect the logbook.

That's it until you enter Glorydeep Mine at the beginning of Part 3 of the main quest. Add Yoren to your party and find Rockmover; he's in a house to your left as you cross the first bridge in the Enclave. Rockmover and Yoren will converse, you'll get some treasure and that's the end of the quest.

#2 Missing============* Look for Eliza.* Return Eliza's locket to Soram in the Outpost.

Talk to Soram in the southeast corner of the Dryad Outpost (to your right as you start the game) about his missing wife. You can't get anywhere in this quest until you've finished Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the main quest and have both Kanred's Staff and the dryad password.

Teleport to Blasted Valley (South) and go north until you pass over a bridge. Turn west until you find a cave blocked by glowing lights. You can now use Kanred's Staff to get through.

At the back of the cave is a door blocked by one of Celia's guardian statues. Speak to the statue and use the password to get through. Inside you'll find Eliza, turned into a bound creature, with a bunch of minions. There are also four Sanctuary Doors (level 36, one for each main class).

Once Eliza is dead, return to Soram at the Outpost. He will not initially believe you, then he will attack you when you prove Eliza is dead. When you "kill" Soram, he surrenders. Your only reward is whatever you took from Eliza's lair.

#3 Lumilla's Special Recipe=============================* Find some Ash Leaves, Sage Liniment, and Gardenia Leaves and return to Lumilla.

Like Lumilla's quest in DS2, this is intended to introduce you to the concept of reagents; specifically, reagent recipes. These special combinations of an enchantable item and specific reagents produce a unique item. You'll find the reagents she needs lying around south of the Dryad Outpost; just make sure you explore to the edges of the map.

Once you have the three reagents, talk to Lumilla and she'll give you a recipe (Lumilla's Cooling Band) and an enchantable ring. Use the ring and the reagents to make the item. All the reagent recipes and the unique items they

produce are listed later in this guide.

#4 Naturalist Ithara's Research=================================* Acquire a sample from a Bound Terrak.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Human.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Fellspine.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Hak'u.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Hyena.* Give Ithara all of the samples.

Ithara is a naturalist who resides in the northeast corner of the Dryad Outpost. She is interested in studying the bound creatures that have arisen since the breaking of the world.

This is pretty simple. As you kill the bound creatures on the list, a sample (hand, foot, etc.) will be added to your Quest Items in the Lore section of your journal. Once you have all five samples, return to Ithara. You'll find the fellspine, human and terrak in the Blasted Valley and Blighted Hills south of the Outpost. Hak'u roam Arinth's Gorge north of the Outpost. You'll get a bound hyena sample when you first enter the passage to Aman'lu at the end of Part 1, Chapter 3.

As soon as you get the hyena sample, run back to the Dryad Outpost (it isn't far) and turn in the samples to Ithara. She'll give you a suit of fighter armor in return and send you on part 2 of her quest.

#5 Anya=========* Find and defeat Anya.* Return the stolen backpack to Tomas.

You'll find Tomas just outside the south gate of the Dryad Outpost. After speaking to him, continue south. When you pass the Blasted Valley (North) teleporter, cross the bridge and turn left (east). Find the ramp leading down and north and you'll find Anya and some minions. Kill them all, then return to Tomas. He rewards you with some items and gold and becomes a merchant who will sell you all the enchantable items you need for the reagent recipes in the game.

#6 The Ancient Tome=====================* Locate someone who can identify the ancient tome.* Fill a vial with Aman'lu's blessed water and bring it to Mage Nari.* Find a mana-infused stone and bring it to Mage Nari.* Find a suspended soul and bring it to Mage Nari.* Capture a lonely voice and bring it to Mage Nari.* Find a memento of the past and bring it to Mage Nari.* Speak to Mage Nari.* Speak to the spirit of Historian Arisu.

After finishing Part 1, Chapter 1 and obtaining Kanred's Staff, you can explore previously blocked caves south of the Dryad Outpost. In the first one you come to south of the Outpost (due west of the Blasted Valley (North) teleporter), you'll find an ancient tome in a side tunnel. Pick it up to kick off this quest.

Return to the Outpost and find Mage Nari. She bides her time in the northeast sector, just past the arcanist (near where Amren waits). Talk to her to fill in the remainder of the quest. You'll find the items as you adventure, but the final one won't be found until near the end of the game.

* Vial of Aman'lu water: when you first enter Aman'lu, go down to the riverbank between the Inn and the ruined building where Kylis is working. You'll find an elf there, Liranth, who will give you a vial of water.

* Mana-infused stone: this is in a ruined mana shrine north of the Outpost. After crossing the first bridge, you go down into a gully and follow it north. You'll then go down a couple of ramps. Just past the ramps, look for a cul-de-sac to your right (southeast). The ruined mana shrine is in there. Click it to obtain the stone.

* Suspended soul: you fill this requirement with a faerie frozen in amber. You pick this up (automatically) from a boss-level naldrun while fighting through the Calennor hills (north of Aman'lu). The naldrun's name is Triari and she's in a western cul-de-sac just north of the Calennor Wood (South) teleporter.

* Lonely voice: throughout the wilderness north of Aman'lu you'll find Elven wind chimes. Click any one to pick it up and use it as the lonely voice. There are two chimes in the Western Vai'kesh Forest and two in the Calennor Wood.

* Memento of the past: this is lying on a bookshelf in the Outer Cinbri City. You'll find it in the large room of the second indoor area. It's glowing, so you should be able to see it easily.

Once you have all five items, return to the Dryad Outpost and speak to Nari. She'll summon a spirit who will bring forth the ghost of the murdered historian. Talk to the ghost to find out a bunch of things you already know. Talk to Nari again to get your reward.

#7 Morden Redemption======================* Get some food for the Morden refugees.* Return to Lorksul of the Morden.* Get the vial of the Overmage's blood and bring it to Lorksul.* Speak to the Overmage's projection.* Speak to Lorksul.

In between the first two teleporters of the Kelvaran Waste (West and Central) you'll find a camp of peaceful Morden off the beaten track (to the north). Talk to their leader to start the quest. Now, technically, you can keep going, raid the Ravagers camp and get the vial of blood without going back to the Outpost and getting food. However, Lorksul won't discuss the vial of blood with you until you've brought the food.

So...Head back to the outpost--if you keep going forward to the Kelvaran Waste (Central) teleporter, it makes the rest of the quest a bit easier--and find the quartermaster in the northeast section of the Outpost. She'll give you some poisoned food. Return to Lorksul and give him the poisoned portion or not; it makes no difference in the quest.

Now head for the Kelvaran Waste (Central) teleporter and turn south to enter the Ravagers' fort. Fight your way through to the boss Ravager and pick up the vial of blood from the platform on which he is standing. Return to

Lorksul and give him the blood. After you've chatted with the Overmage, talk to Lorksul again to conclude the quest.

#8 Morden Ravagers====================* Find the Morden Ravager camp.* Take the vial of the Overmage's blood.

When you raid the Morden Ravager camp, this quest starts and finishes. It is technically possible to do this quest without doing "Morden Redemption"; but, if you're killing these Morden anyway, might as well do the whole thing.

#9 Greylok of the Kurgan==========================* Bait the trap outside of Greylok's lair.* Kill Greylok of the Kurgan.* Return to Watcher Jorena.

Jorena is the dryad stationed next to the Kelvaran Waste (West) teleporter right after you enter the Waste. Talk to her and get the rotten meat you need to bait the trap. You'll find Greylok's lair not far west of the Kelvaran Waste (East) teleporter, on a plateau north of the main path. Outside his cave entrance is a glowing trap.

Click it to "bait" the trap and be instantly swarmed by Kurgan, with the boss-level Greylok thrown in for good measure. Kill Greylok (and his pack) and return to Jorena for your reward.

#10 The Human Refugees========================* Investigate the canyon.* Follow the trail of blood.* Talk to the Human survivor.* Return to Watcher Rena.

Rena is stationed along the main path in Arinth's Heights. You'll recognize her by the orange exclamation point hovering over her head. Right behind her is the entrance to the canyon. Talk to Rena, and then enter the canyon.

Wade through the hordes of bound dryads until you reach the far end of the canyon. Climb up into the hills to find the lone surviving human. Talk to him, then return to Rena and talk to her to conclude the quest.

========================================== [3.9] Broken World Part 2 Primary Quests==========================================

Chapter 1: Elves Under Siege==============================* Meet Warden Celia on the other side of the bridge north of the Outpost.* Journey to Aman'lu.* Look for Elven Survivors.

Teleport back to the Dryad Outpost and refit. Go north out of the Outpost and find Celia right across the first bridge. She'll open the Passage to Aman'lu.

Head through to Aman'lu.

You'll find the town mostly destroyed (which, come to think of it, was the state it was in last time...). This time it's a bit worse. After clearing out the areas south of town, talk your way through the gate to end this rather short chapter.

Chapter 2: The Familiars==========================* Travel beyond the western Vai'lutra Forest in search of the Familiar Surgeons.* Look for the Familiar Surgeons within the abandoned Elven ruins.* Destroy the Familiar Surgeon.* Release Drianjul from the cell.* Speak with Drianjul.

Aman'lu is a reduced-services home base. There's a base teleporter, a necromancer, your storage vault and an all-in-one merchant inside the Inn. However, there's no Innkeeper, Arcanist, Enchanter, Trainer, F&K Society merchant, etc. You'll have to teleport back to the Outpost for those services. Fortunately, every teleporter in the game can take you back to any of the base teleporters, including the Dryad Outpost.

Once you're ready to go, head west into the Western Vai'lutra Forest. At the Western Vai'lutra Forest (South) teleporter, the path splits, going west and north. Take the west path into the Western Vai'kesh Forest. You cross over an ornate stone bridge as you enter the Vai'kesh Forest, and the path splits after the bridge, going north and south.

Go north and then west again until you reach the Western Vai'kesh Forest teleporter, which is not far east of the entrance to a dungeon. Enter the ruins, which are not that exciting, but quite gory, with plenty of blood and body parts. Not to mention a large number of mobs.

When you reach the end of the dungeon, you're in for your next boss fight, against a Familiar Surgeon. This giant brain is pretty nasty in a fight. It uses primarily death magic against you, so beefing up your death resistance would be a smart idea. Additionally, it summons crawlers from two pools located near the entrance to its lair. These crawlers creep over to the surgeon and regenerate it.

Fun stuff.

With decent death resistance, you can ignore the surgeon's attacks. Unload high-damage, single target powers on it, then attack it. Keep one area power in reserve. When crawlers pop out of the pools, unleash your AoE power on them. If you can keep the surgeon at the far end of the chamber, away from the pools, you'll have time to kill the crawlers before they get close enough to the brain to restore its health. Then go back to your head banging.

After the Surgeon is dead, release Drianjul from her cage and talk to her. When you killed the Surgeon, you got a strange metal object added to your Quest Items. Drianjul tells you that item is a key that unlocks special doors guarded by bound elves. She also tells you there's another Familiar Surgeon in Calennor Stronghold to the north.

Chapter 3: The Second Familiar Surgeon========================================

* Use the Surgeon's key to enter the Calennor Stronghold.* Speak with the Overmage's projection.* Find and destroy the second Familiar Surgeon.* Return to Danadel in Aman'lu.

Return to Aman'lu for rest and refit. Teleport to Western Vai'lutra Forest (South) and take the north path to the Calennor Wood. Continue north until you reach Calennor Stronghold. Use your Surgeon key to release the bound elf from the door, kill it, and enter the dungeon.

In the second large room of the dungeon, go through the southeast door and find the secret entrance on the west wall. In that room, pick up a green stone from the pile along the north wall. (Remember those stones? And how much you came to loathe them in DS2?)

After the passing some prison cells, there's a T-intersection. Go left (west) and find purple stones on a bookcase in the end room. (Search carefully, they don't glow.)

Head back east, and then north as the hall turns. In the next room, find a secret door in the southeast corner. Inside the room are yellow stones, lying on the floor.

Now it's on to the boss fight against the Familiar Surgeon, which plays out like the last Surgeon fight. Afterwards, walk back through the dungeon. When you get to the room south of the prison cells, find the secret room to the east and place a green, purple and yellow stone in the appropriate sockets to open a small treasure room.

Chapter 4: Solanum====================* Go through Danadel's portal to Solanum.* Enter the Great Leader's audience chamber.* Defeat Keirok the Devourer.* Go through the Overmage's portal.* Explore the unfamiliar cavern.* Speak to Stonepick.

Return to Aman'lu and speak to Danadel. He'll open a portal to Solanum (a glowing white circle just north of the Aman'lu teleporter). Go through the portal made by Danadel. You quickly enter a large, round chamber where you watch a cutscene that ends with you facing a very large, very nasty creature.

There's no special trick to beating Keirok, it's just a test of endurance. He's a strong melee attacker, so ranged attacks work better. He has one special attack where he pounds on the ground, causing glowing lines to radiate out from his body. When you see these forming, run to the outer edges of the circle and get between the lines--they will erupt in flame. If you're caught in them, it means almost certain death for any mages (and possibly rangers) in your party.

However, this attack is pretty easy to avoid and he's not otherwise all that tough. When he's dead, jump through the portal and find Glorydeep Mine. Yeah! There's a base portal here, similar to the one in Aman'lu. Once you speak with Stonepick, the next chapter begins...

=============================================

[3.10] Broken World Part 2 Secondary Quests=============================================

#1 Naturalist Ithara's Research, Part II==========================================* Acquire a sample from a Bound Fettershin.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Taclak.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Taugrim.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Naldrun.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Elf.* Give Ithara all of the samples.

Same tune, different notes. As soon as you finish Ithara's first research quest, she'll give you this one. As you continue adventuring, you'll run into all these creatures and automatically get a sample from the first one you kill. After you have all five, return to Ithara for a suit of ranger armor and part 3 of her quest.

#2 Celeb'hel the Elder========================* Find someone who's interested in Celeb'hel's soulstone.* Find the simulacrum who went to the Vai'kesh.* Find the simulacrum who went to the Calennor Stronghold.* Return to Celeb'hel.* Choose whether or not to give Celeb'hel his soulstones.

This quest starts after you kill Celeb'hel at the end of Part 1, Chapter 3. Later, as you're working your way north through the Calennor hills, look for a path off to the southeast. This leads to a Ruined Shrine where you meet...

Celeb'hel. Listen to his spiel and agree to find his other two clones. (Or simulacrum in RPG nonsense-speak.) You'll find one straight ahead in Calennor Stronghold. When you reach the room with four prison cells--two on a side--Celeb'hel's clone's body is behind a secret door behind the northeast cell. Click the corpse to collect the soulstone.

Also in Calennor Stronghold, in the first room, find the secret door on the north wall. In this room is a corpse with a Vai'kesh sword. Click the corpse to launch "The Vai'kesh, Part 2". After leaving Calennor, finish up the Vai'kesh quest as detailed later in this guide. While clearing their sanctuary, you'll find the other soulstone on another corpse of Celeb'hel.

Return both soulstones to the surviving Celeb'hel in the Ruined Shrine. If you actually give him the soulstones, he ends the quest in a spectacular burst of self-immolation. If you choose not to give him the soulstones, he attacks you. Beat him down, then he surrenders. Afterward, you can add him to your party (45th level combat mage) or let him hang around his shrine.

#3 Minli the Faerie=====================* Place the metal scraps on the bridge to attract Minli.* Kill the Bound Faeries.* Kill Minli.* Return to Kylis in Aman'lu.

Kylis is atop the ruins of a building next to the Inn. He'll drop some metal scraps after you speak to him, so be sure to pick them up. Return to the bridge south of town and drop the metal scraps from your inventory onto the

bridge. You'll be swarmed by faeries. Minli will be in the second wave; kill her to end the swarms and collect some metal she stole from Kylis. Go back and speak to Kylis to end the quest.

#4 The Aman'lu Arena======================* Defeat the first wave of combatants.* Defeat the second wave of combatants.* Defeat the third wave of combatants.* Defeat the fourth wave of combatants.* Defeat the fifth wave of combatants.* Defeat the sixth wave of combatants.* Defeat the seventh wave of combatants.* Defeat the eighth wave of combatants.* Defeat the ninth wave of combatants.* Defeat the Arena Masters.* Speak with Daesthai.

Inside the ruined Aman'lu Inn, in the south wing, is a lever that sends you down an elevator to the basement. Find another lever against the wall to open a secret door, which leads to a long spiral staircase and then into the Arena.

Speak with Daesthai to open the Aman'lu Arena quest and learn the rules of the game. Basically, you pay for a token, place that token on the pedestal in the center of the arena, the arena floor drops and some monsters come spewing forth. Defeat them, then click the Forfeit Lever to raise the arena. In other words, it's exactly the same as The Aman'lu Arena side quest from DS2.

Defeating the monsters earns you a key. The keys you earn open doors to treasure rooms around the arena. There are ten rounds in all. The tenth, and final, treasure room contains a nasty surprise: the chest is a mimic. That Deasthai! He's such a kidder... Oh, yes, for beating all ten challenges, Daesthai gives you an Agallan Relic you can use at the F&K Store to buy special items.

The Aman'lu Arena is a natural item farm. You can win all ten rounds, save your game, then start opening treasure rooms. If you don't like what you get, you just reload and it's only a short trip back to the arena and you start opening doors again.

The rounds are:

Round Cost Mobs (level) x quantity/Comments----- ----- ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2,000 Volatile Boggrot (43) x 6, Bound Fellspine Enthraller (43) x 1Take out the Enthraller first, and then try to avoid being caught in the multiple explosions when you start killing the Boggrots.

2 3,000 Bound Human Greiver (43) x 6, Bound Husk (43) x 1

3 4,000 Morden-sin Crossbowman (44) x 6, Ganth (44) x 1A particularly nasty fight. You may have unfond memories of the Ganth from Act III of DS2. He's worse in the Arena. There's little room to avoid the

swings of his big axe, which not only depletes a lot of your health, but also regenerates the Ganth. Use AoE powers to get rid of the pesky crossbowmen while running away from the Ganth. Once you're no longer bothered by arrows from every corner, you can concentrate on peppering the Ganth from range.

4 5,000 Bound Hak'u Bleeder (45) x 8, Bound Hak'u Hunter (45) x 1

5 6,000 Bound Dryad Incinerator (46) x 6, Bound Dryad Cyclone (46) x 1When the game says "Incinerator", it means it. When the fire ring forms around you, run outside the circle or be prepared to go up in flames (unless you have near 100% fire resistance). Take out the Cyclone quick using high-damage powers, then mop up the minions.

6 7,500 Decaying Bound Taclak (47) x 8, Bound Taclak Spearmaster (47) x 1When the Decaying Bound Taclaks die, their blood explodes all over the place and is highly toxic. If you've got a combat mage with Corrosive Eruption, use it on a Decaying Taclak, kill it, then run away and watch the fireworks. Better, use a nature mage summons and Aether Blast and let the summons take the brunt of the poisonous blood. You may even get lucky and catch the Spearmaster in the effect.

7 9,000 Incinerating Bound Elf (47) x 6, Tormented Stitched Horror (47) x 1More Incinerators (watch out for the fire rings!) and a heavy-damage dealing boss mob. In this situation, you should probably deal with the minions first while running away from the boss.

8 10,000 Bound Dwarf Ballista (48) x 6, Bound Half-Giant Devastator (48) x 1The Devastator is...well...devastating. Big shiny edged weapon from massive boss equals lots of health lost from your characters. Again, run away from the boss and get rid of the pesky bowmen, then concentrate on the boss; and, make sure you have plenty of health potions.

9 12,000 Bound Half-Giant Shambler (49) x 6, Bound Half-Giant Convoker (49) x 1

10 15,000 Bound Dwarf Ballista (50) x 10, Lastyk Familiar (50) x 2If you can suit up in some fire and ranged resistance items, you'll probably breeze through this encounter. The dwarves fire arrows, the Lastyks shoot fireballs. Since there are a lot of them, they can do significant damage unless you're just about immune to those two damage types. AoE powers work pretty well when you're totally surrounded like this.

#5 Questionable Methods=========================* Collect blood from ten Bound Elves and give it to Ressa.

* Collect a child's tears and bring them to Ressa.* Bind Lorethal's soul to a bloodstone.* Speak with the Spirit of Lorethal.* Return to Ressa.* Speak with Ressa.

While heading north out of Aman'lu, you'll find Ressa's camp to your right (east) not far out of town. Speak to her to start up the quest. You'll fight bound elves during Part 2, Chapter 3 while journeying to the Calennor Stronghold. They'll drop vials of their blood. Note that these blood vials are actual inventory items (not Lore items) and drop on the ground. Make sure you pick them up. (Turn Item Labels ON and use 'Z' to pick up all items.)

Once you have at least ten vials, which shouldn't take long, return to Ressa and get the next phase of this quest. From Ressa, summon a teleporter back to Aman'lu, then teleport to the Dryad Outpost and find the boy Arlen with his father Soram in the southeast corner. (You may remember them from the "Missing" quest.)

Talk to Arlen. Anything you say makes him cry and you collect his tears. (You do not have to perform the "Missing" secondary quest in order to make the boy cry.) Go back to Ressa and get the final step. Now continue on your way to the Calennor Stronghold. Just past the Western Vai'lutra Forest (North) teleporter, turn east to find the Sepulcher of the Crimson Hunters. Note that you must have defeated the first Familiar Surgeon to get into the sepulcher.

The Sepulcher is eerily empty (now); so, loot it thoroughly. You'll find four Level 42 Sanctuary Doors (one for each main class). Lorethal's coffin is in the far end of the dungeon. Once you've clicked the coffin and bound his soul, all the Crimson Hunters in the dungeon release their ghosts and you've got to fight your way back out. (The Summon Teleporter spell won't work.)

Be wary of a nasty mini-boss fight in the last room before the exit. In addition to the powerful wizard, there will be a lot of other ghosts in the room. Try to lure a few of them into the hall and kill them piecemeal rather than trying to take them all at once.

Or, you can take the easy way out. After binding Lorethal, save your game and quit. When you reload, you'll be back in Aman'lu. Cheesy, yes, but the ghosts in the Sepulcher are tough and numerous. You'll find them particularly nasty if you started BW at the "recommended" level of 39.

You can then return to Ressa and she'll complete the weapon and give it to you. She will also then offer to join up if you wish; but, you don't need her for any remaining quests.

#6 The Vai'kesh=================* Look for the missing Estelath Warriors.* Investigate the location Rinerel claims to have hidden the bodies.* Return to Talain in Aman'lu.

Talk to Talain, who is inside the Inn of Aman'lu. After you cross the bridge from the Western Vai'lutra Forest to the Western Vai'kesh forest, turn south to find a camp of peaceful Vai'kesh. Talk to Rinerel, the leader, to learn the fate of Talain's comrades. One survivor is in camp and heads back to Aman'lu when you finish talking to Rinerel.

From the Vai'kesh camp, go north and look for a crypt entrance to your right

(east). Inside are the bodies of Talain's buddies. Return to Aman'lu and report the findings to Talain.

#7 The Vai'kesh, Part 2=========================* Show the broken Vai'kesh blade to Talain.* Speak with Rinerel in the Vai'kesh camp.* Enter the Vai'kesh Sanctuary.* Explore the Vai'kesh Sanctuary.* Kill the Vai'kesh Prophet.* Release the Elven prisoners.* Return to Talain in Aman'lu.

In the first room of Calennor Stronghold, find the secret door on the north wall (activate a wall sconce). Inside is a glowing corpse. Click it to activate this quest and add the Vai'kesh sword to your Lore items. At your convenience, return to Talain in Aman'lu and talk to him.

Then head out to the Vai'kesh camp (teleport to Western Vai'lutra (South) and go west, over the bridge and then turn south). Talk to Rinerel. This can only end in violence. Dispose of Rinerel and his minions, then invade the sanctuary that's inside the camp. In the back, behind a previously locked door is a Vai'kesh prophet who needs to die. Then go back and talk to Talain to end the quest.

#8 Treasure Hunting=====================* Explore the chambers behind the door.* Release Treelus the Suffering from the magic binding him.* Kill Treelus the Suffering.* Return to Meraliss.

Welcome to, possibly, the most frustrating quest in Broken World. You'll stumble into this quest while poking your nose into an underground chamber in the Western Vai'lutra Forest. In the first room is a simple (Hah!) light puzzle surrounding a woman in a stasis field. The light puzzle consists of four columns, each with a light (currently lit) on top. Glowing lines of light connect the columns, like this:

O-----O | | | | O-----O

When you click a column, the light reverses state and so do the lights that are connected. In this puzzle, click a column in one corner and both it and the columns in adjacent corners reverse state (going from on to off or off to on). To solve the puzzle and open the stasis field requires that all lights be off. This first puzzle is simple: click each column once (in any order).

The woman, Meraliss, is released from stasis and you can talk to her. She's a field agent for the F&K Society. She gives you a key into the next room, which leads to a more difficult puzzle. Once you solve that puzzle, you fight the monster (Treelus), get a Lore item from him and return to Meraliss to end this quest.

Killing Treelus also opens another door that leads to a third, more difficult puzzle, which, in turn, leads to a fourth. Solving the fourth puzzle gets you

a small treasure chest with an Easter egg unique item. The third and fourth puzzles are not part of this quest, so you can finish the quest without finishing the puzzles. The Easter egg item is useless.

Here are the solutions for the second, third and fourth puzzles. In each case, the columns are numbered from left to right, then top to bottom with the camera pointing due north. The solutions (along with the math required to do this on your own) come from here: http://clux.org/?p=entries&eid=1229

Remember to rotate your camera so it is pointing due north.

=========================================== [3.11] Broken World Part 3 Primary Quests===========================================

Chapter 1: The Dwarves of Glorydeep=====================================* Destroy Hopekiller the Familiar Overseer.* Destroy Merciless the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Longwhip the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Stench the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Bloodgrin the Familiar Overseer* Destroy Rockfist the Familiar Overseer* Meet Stonepick at the bridge to the Cinbri City.

Stonepick, leader of the Glorydeep dwarves, wants you to help free his people by killing the Familiar Overseers that enslave them. This is a straightforward task. Head east out of the Enclave and kill every hostile in your path until you reach Stonepick, who has gone ahead of you, at the bridge into Cinbri City. He'll extend the bridge across to Cinbri City and your final dungeon run approaches.

Chapter 2: The Overmage of the Cinbri=======================================* Explore the Cinbri City.* Explore the center of the city.* Find the gateway chamber.* Speak with the Overmage.* Defeat the Overmage.* Defeat Zaramoth Reborn.* Speak with Kirani.

The run through Cinbri City is strangely reminiscent of the run up Zaramoth's Horns at the end of DS2. When you finally reach the end, you'll want to stock up on health (and, possibly, mana) potions and equip your best stuff. You've got a very long and grueling boss fight ahead of you.

Enter the circular area where the Overmage is getting ready to transform himself. He's surrounded by dryads in stasis. After your little chat, your first inclination will be to pound on the Overmage.Resist the urge.

Back off and wait. The Overmage summons a bunch of creatures and you have to defeat them. Right now, the Overmage is invulnerable.

DO NOT USE YOUR POWERS AGAINST THE SUMMONS UNLESS YOU USE THEM EARLY AND THEY ARE FAST RECHARGE POWERS!

This cannot be stressed enough. If you want to shorten this part of the battle--and you DEFINITELY want to shorten it--then save your powers. Be sure to have all your highest damage powers selected (Brutal Strike, Take Aim, etc.). When the last summons dies, the Overmage collapses.

Unload on him. Hit him with everything you've got. You only get about five to ten seconds, then he revives, is once more invulnerable and summons more help.

Do the whole thing over again. If you do this right, you only have to go through three or four waves of summons before you shave off all the Overmage's health. When that happens, he transforms into Zaramoth Reborn.

Now the real fight gets underway.

Zaramoth Reborn is one very tough hombre. He's got a LOT of health (120,000 in Merc), is resistant to everything, knows every power and spell in the book and has near-unlimited mana. In other words, he's equal to about ten of you.Zaramoth will unleash a lot of stuff. Some of his favorites are:

* Whirling Strike with his sword: getting hit is pretty certain death. You can avoid this one because he takes about ten seconds to wind up. When you see him crouch and gather in on himself, he's about to let go, so run away.

* Glacial Aura: this one's pretty hard to avoid, especially for your melee fighters, since running out of range means no damage being inflicted on Mr. Bigshot. Your best bet is to stay in there, take your lumps and drink health potions.

* Fire rings: you can see these coming, as they start from the outside of the circle and move inward. When you see them, rush IN toward Zaramoth and gather around him as the flames stop short of his body. (If you've got any unconscious people lying around, they're toast. Get a Rez spell handy.) This is actually a great time to unload on Zaramoth as he's busy tending the fire and you have a perfect excuse to get in close and personal.

* Call Lightning: when sparks start dancing on the ground, run away. These are pretty easy to avoid, but dangerous if you're not paying attention.

* Waves of Force: this one's just nasty. There's no warning, and you're suddenly facing waves of high-damage streaming out from the front of Zaramoth. The one upside is the narrow area-of-effect, you can easily run to the side away from them. If any melee fighters are standing right in front of him...well, hope they have lots of armor and health.

Zaramoth has other toys to play with too. This fight is, basically, a war of attrition. Can you knock off his health before you run out of health potions or Rez scrolls? He's resistant, but not immune to anything, and you can curse him and attack him just like any normal enemy. (I.e. there's no special trick to fighting him.)

The tactics are all about avoiding his attacks as much as possible, quaffing health potions almost continuously and making sure you have a nature mage with a Resurrect spell and plenty of Rez scrolls for when the nature mage is unconscious or dead.

This is a long, grueling battle and there are no shortcuts. Use high-damage powers as fast as they recharge. Run away when Zaramoth starts with one of his specialty attacks. In fact, keep moving, a lot. It will be harder if you have a melee-heavy party, so be sure to have some strong ranged support (ranger, combat mage).

And bring lots and lots of potions, just in case you hadn't picked up on that by now. When it's all over, talk to Kirani, the lone surviving dryad and the main quest is officially complete...

=============================================

[3.12] Broken World Part 3 Secondary Quests=============================================

#1 Naturalist Ithara's Research, Part III===========================================* Find additional bound creature samples for Ithara.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Dwarf.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Half-Giant.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Crawler.* Acquire a sample from a Bound Dryad.* Give Ithara all of the samples.

After finishing Part Deux, you get Part Tres. This time, you are not initially given the list of creatures for which you need samples. But you, you lucky thing, have this guide to tell you what you need. You won't get most of these until you are into Part 3 of the main story. Return to Ithara with your samples to get another set of armor.

#2 Captured Miners====================* Release Firedigger from his cell.* Release Stonecharger from his cell.* Release Shortfuse from his cell.* Return to Strongspade.

As you're fighting your way through Glorydeep Mines, you'll see this wee fellow with the orange exclamation mark over his head off to the north. Talk to him to get this quest, then follow the bridge behind him to find the three prisoners, each guarded by a hoard of bad guys--usually including a mini-boss or two.

The big plus for doing this side quest is, after freeing the prisoners and talking to Strongspade again, you will find these dwarves fighting alongside you as you continue through the Mines.

#3 The Explosives Tunnel==========================* Attach the fuse to the explosives at the end of the tunnel.* Return to Pitforger.* Use the detonator to destroy the Overseer camp.

Pitforger is a dwarf hidden in a little alcove after you've killed the second Familiar Overseer in Glorydeep Mines. Talk to him; then head down the narrow tunnel behind him. This is a very narrow tunnel; there will be no strategic maneuvering for you! Fortunately, the mobs are widely spaced.

At the end of the tunnel is a pile of dynamite. Click it to set the fuse; then return to Pitforger. He now wants you to actually push the plunger. Don't these dwarves do anything for themselves?

As you approach the final three Familiar Overseers, who are all together, you'll see the glowing detonator up on a ridge above the Overseers. Click it and watch the fireworks. Pity they have no effect on the bad guys. After you've finished killing the mobs, there's a ton of loot to collect.

=====================================

[3.13] The Mysterious Mystery Quest=====================================*Please note the information contained here is an abbreviated version of this mystery. The full solution can be found here:

http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/dungeon_siege_ii_mystery.txt

It was put together by Gulnaga, Negorath, ebator and dknyc. Full credit goes to them for solving the mystery and posting the solution.

This quest appears only when playing DS2. You'll encounter the ??? loot thief in BW; but, he only drops a standard inventory item (not a quest item) and there's no Easter Egg quest.

Beginning as early as midway through Act I, you may encounter a mysterious creature known only as ???. This level 100 thief teleports in whenever you've just received a large drop of magic items. He'll steal some of your items, run around for a bit, then teleport away.

Your goal, when he appears, is to hit him with everything you've got (large damage powers are especially useful). At the least, getting hit will keep him away from your treasure and cause him to drop some of his own. If you succeed in draining his health, he drops a Mysterious Stone, on which is etched "surotces suiranmuloc". (Note that ??? will keep showing up throughout the game, even if you "kill" him.)

In addition to the Stone, you will need three Mysterious Set items: Mysterious Bucket, Mysterious Book and Mysterious Token.

* Mysterious Bucket: hidden in the Elven Prison where Arinth the Mad is held. Once you've opened the stairs, activate the lamp to one side of the door into the prison. A secret door halfway up the stairs will open. Get the Bucket from the treasure chest.

* Mysterious Book: part of the reward for completing the Lore of Aranna Secondary Quest in Act III.

* Mysterious Token: part of the reward for completing the Aman'lu Arena Secondary Quest in Act II.

Once you have all four items, are pretty high level (at least 40) and very well-equipped, grab the Set items and the Hak'u Ceremonial Blade you picked up in Act I and go to any incantation shrine and manually incant:

columnarius sectorus

You'll be transported to a Mysterious Cave. There's a teleporter, but it's one way only. You can teleport out, but you have to use the chant to get back in. Head west to the first door. You need the Mysterious Bucket to open this door--you don't have to equip it, just have it in Inventory.

Beyond is a series of hallways occupied by level 40 praire dogs. They're a lot tougher than any of Valdis' minions, so watch out. These dogs hit for a lot of damage and have plenty of armor. You'll need some AoE powers to keep them off you.

The next door requires you have the Mysterious Book in your Inventory. Beyond is a large cavern with the nastiest fight in the entire game.

There are evil doppelgangers of all nine of your NPC companions from the game

(the ninth being Drevin). They are well-equipped, level 40 and have 30,000 health--each. Your only hope is to draw them away one-by-one. They have loads of resistances, so curses would be helpful. Drown is probably the most effective as it not only has a higher DPS then other curses, but it aids your nature mage as well (weakening resistance to ice damage).

Once the evil NPCs are gone, the door to the west will open. You now pass through seven rooms filled with avatars of the DS2 developers. Most of them have something to say (and occasionally what they say is humorous). Three are of special note:

Chris Gorski wants to play a text adventure game--you know the old school dungeon romps, "You are in a dark tunnel. The floor is sticky. There are exits to the north, east and west. What do you want to do?" Follow these directions: go east nine times, south three times, north, south four times, west, north, west and then fire an arrow to the west. You'll kill the vicious gremel and get its gun:

Gremel Gun* Super Attack Speed (0.5 second reload time)* Two Handed Weapon* Damage 26 to 42* Range 11 meters* Requires Ranged 35

Andres Mendez wants to quiz you about the country of Colombia. The correct answers are: Bogota; Yellow, blue and red; About 8,660 feet above sea level; 55 percent; and Simon Bolivar. (Amazing what you can learn by Google.) Your reward is:

Spirit of Bolivar (1h sword)* Fast Attack Speed* Damage 25 to 58* Requires Melee 38* +15 Liberator Power (Max damage)* +18% Latino Flavor (Fire resistance)* +18% Latino Beat (Ice resistance)* +18% Futbol Love (Death resistance)* +18% Chibcha Soul (Lightning resistance)

Brian Fricks will trick out your Hak'u Ceremonial Blade:

Hak'UBER Ceremonial Blade* Fast Attack Speed* Damage 26 to 44* Requires Melee 38* +30 Dancing (Dexterity)* 30% Noise Antipathy (Damage reflection)

Beyond these rooms is an arena where DS & DS2 designer Chris Taylor is engaged in a pillow fight. Hang around long enough and he'll drop a pillow.

Fluffy Happy Pillow (club)* Fast Attack Speed* Damage 1 to 2

It doesn't do much, but it's definitely a conversation piece. On the west side of the pillow fight arena, stand in front of the door, equip the three Mysterious Set items and manually incant:

Requo furtivum ixo

The Set items will disappear (meaning you can't come back again after a reload in the current game). You'll enter a strange treasure room with three chests. From these you can collect a variety of items, including three unique items:

Eli's Bucket (helm)* Armor: 23* Requires character level 40* +20 Life of the Party (Strength, Dexterity & Intelligence)* +8% Happy Oblivion (Melee resistance)

Sarah's Mug of Frothing Goodness (throwing weapon)* Normal attack speed* Requires ranged level 38* Requires Quick Draw 1* 41-62 damage* Range: 8 meters* Adds 13 to 15 Foaming Damage (Fire damage)* +90 Great Taste (Health)* 20% More Refreshing (+Health regeneration)* 10% Less Filling (+Physical damage resistance)* -12% Inhibitions (Intelligence)

Borgrim Thull -- the Demon's Visage (helm)* Armor: 53* Requires character level 40* +8% Pure Evil (Combat magic damage)* +30 Evil Intensity (Armor)* +100% Evil Resistance (Death resistance)* +3 to Evil Skills (Combat Magic skills)

=============== [4.1] Potions===============

There are three types of potions in five sizes. Potions restore either health, or mana or both. Smaller potions restore health and/or mana very slowly, while the largest potions restore points very quickly.

Health Potions - restore healthSmall: restores 125 health, very slow restoration rateNormal: restores 250 health, slow restoration rateLarge: restores 450 health, medium restoration rateSuper: restores 700 health, fast restoration rateColossal: restores 1,100 health, very fast restoration rate

Mana Potions - restore manaSmall: restores 150 mana, very slow restoration rateNormal: restores 300 mana, slow restoration rate

Large: restores 500 mana, medium restoration rateSuper: restores 900 mana, fast restoration rateColossal: restores 1,400 mana, very fast restoration rate

Rejuvenation Potions - restore both health and manaSmall: restores 125 health and 150 mana, very slow rejuvenation rateNormal: restores 250 health and mana, slow rejuvenation rateLarge: restores 450 health and mana, medium rejuvenation rateSuper: restores 700 health and mana, fast rejuvenation rateColossal: restores 1,100 health and mana, very fast rejuvenation rate

Whenever you click the Drink Health potion button (lower left of your screen) or press 'H', all characters with less than 100% health will drink as much potion as required to restore their health. Similarly, clicking the Drink Mana potion button or pressing 'M' causes all characters with less than 100% mana to drink as much as needed to restore their mana.

Since characters only drink as much as is needed from a bottle, you will find partially filled bottles in your inventory. Drag a partial bottle over another partial bottle to combine them.

Potions in Inventory are shared. If a character does not have the proper type of potion in his or her own Inventory, he or she will simply use one from another character's Inventory.

When drinking the smaller potions, be sure not to wait until health or mana is completely gone, or it may be too late. When your Inventory is occupied by small or normal potions, it is probably best to use the Drink commands when characters reach about 50% health or mana.

Characters with the ranged skill, Survival, can harvest health potions from health bushes. Simply walk into the glowing red bush with your character and the potions will appear on the ground:

Survival Skill - Size of potions 1 - 4 - Small 5 - 8 - Normal 9 - 11 - Large12 - 15 - Super16 - 19 - Colossal20+ - Colossal x 2

Characters with the nature magic skill, Natural Bond, can harvest mana potions from mana bushes. Simply walk into the glowing blue bush with your character and the potions will appear on the ground:

Natural Bond Skill - Size of potions 1 - 4 - Small 5 - 8 - Normal 9 - 11 - Large12 - 15 - Super16 - 19 - Colossal20+ - Colossal x 2

Broken World==============Of the 59 books in your Journal, 47 are reagent recipes (see later section of this guide). The first 12 Journal Book slots are found lying around the Broken World maps. Only two are related to a quest; and one appears to be missing from the game (glitch?). Here are the 12 books and their locations:

* The Great Work: "A book bound in woven grass and metal, written in the Dryad style. It alludes to a 'Great Work' of the Dryads, and how to mask its intent from other races." -> Picked up from the Innkeeper's tent in the Dryad Outpost

* Eva's Journal: "A leather-bound book that bears the Winterstone coat of arms on its cover. The handwriting inside is angular and precise." -> Found in Burk's shanty in the Dryad Outpost

* Letters from Hesla: "A sheaf of papers tied together with yellowed grass. It is a collection of letters addressed to 'Lasi', from a woman named

'Hesla'." -> Next to the magic/potion seller in the Dryad Outpost

* A Merchant's Travels: "A grimy book bound with wood. Inside are journal entries from a merchant's years of travel all over the land of Aranna." -> Next to Tomas, the merchant, just south of the Dryad Outpost

* Summoning the Spirits: "A dusty book that is strangely cold to the touch. Inside are dozens of rituals for summoning spirits; some benign, some highly dangerous." -> Given by Mage Nari after you talk to her about The Ancient Tome

* The Wealth of Glorydeep Mine: "A record of the fortunes of Glorydeep mine during the Fifth year of the Ram." -> Found in the secret room of the Abandoned Mine in the Blasted Valley, you'll need Yoren in your party to open the secret room

* The Disintegration of the Morden: "A book bound in woven grass, written by a Dryad named Sari. It relates the history of the Morden, most of which is already known to you; but the last few pages detail a recent development." -> In Watcher Jorena's tent, next to Kelvaran Waste (West) teleporter

* The Enemies of the Edhel: "The Enemies of the Edhel, with Tactical Recommendations. An Exposition by Elimera of the Crimson Hunters" -> Aman'lu, on a bookshelf inside the Inn

* The Crimson Hunters: "Bound in leather and trimmed with silver, this book reminds you of the Aman'lu that existed before the return of the Familiars. It tells the story of Lorethal and his expedition to the lair of the enemy." -> Aman'lu, on the floor next to Talain inside the Inn

* Songs of the Stone: "A leather-bound book that is in better condition than most things in the Glorydeep cavern. It is a collection of Dwarven songs and poetry." -> Glorydeep Enclave, first house on the right (south) from the teleporter

* Glorydeep, Vol. 47: "Although yellowed and moldy, the dimensions and craftsmanship of this book's binding are perfect. It is a collection of papers written by a Dwarf named Broadreach. The last page is the most relevant."

* History of the Glorydeep Dwarves: "A collection of journals, written by a Dwarf named Longyears. Inside, she chronicles the history of the Glorydeep Dwarves."

According to comments in the relevant .gas file, the final two books are located in Glorydeep Enclave. If you cross the bridge to the eastern half of the enclave and enter the house immediately to your right (south), you'll see a book lying on the table. Hover your cursor over it and you'll see the title "Glorydeep, Vol. 47"; however, when you click it, you'll get "History of the Glorydeep Dwarves" added to your collection.

As of this writing, book #11 (Glorydeep, Vol. 47) has not been located. This appears to be a glitch or a typo in the game. If anyone knows the actual location of book #11, please email barry@papagamer.com

============== [4.4] Chants

==============

Chants are used at incantation shrines to grant bonuses to all characters inside the shrine. Step into the shrine and either:

* Open your Journal, open the Lore tab, open the Chants tab, select a chant and then LEFT-CLICK the Recite Chant button; or,

* Open the chat bar by pressing ENTER and then type the chant (not case-sensitive) and press ENTER to activate the shrine.

*NOTE* You cannot use a chant until it has been added to your journal. If you try to manually enter a chant by typing in the words from this list, and you have not yet discovered that chant during gameplay, nothing will happen. This only applies to Merc level. At Veteran and Elite, you can use any Chant you learned in previous difficulties.

======================= [4.5] Reagent Recipes=======================

In DS2 (and BW), you can take an enchantable item (listed as such in its description) to an enchanter (a merchant with a symbol of an eye on a hand). Initiate the enchanting process, place the enchantable item in the enchanter's "inventory" and then add reagents to the reagent box. Pay the merchant and you get an item with the enchantments granted by the reagents you used.

Reagent recipes are an expansion of the reagent system. You can combine the enchantable item and reagents listed in the recipe to produce a unique item that is more powerful than the reagents you used. Recipes are occasionally placed in the Broken World map, sometimes granted as quest rewards (in Broken World) and can also turn up as random treasure in both DS2 and BW. You do NOT need a recipe in your Lore Books in order to actually use the recipe.

The items used by the recipe have to be the right class of item, but do not have to be a specific type of that class. For example, if you need a crossbow, any size crossbow will work. If you need a fighter helm, any type of fighter helm (leather, chain, plate) will work. The items also do not have to be exactly the right enchantable level. You can use a higher level item. For example, if you need a great item, you could use an exceptional or legendary item. You cannot, obviously, use a lesser item; i.e. you can't use an exceptional item if a legendary item is needed.

You will find the reagents needed by these recipes all over the maps, as well as at arcanist shops (reagent merchants). They are frequently in little cul-de-sacs that branch off the main path, so be sure to explore all the maps to their edges. You can get the enchantable items you need from Tomas, the traveling merchant just south of the Outpost in Broken World. Perform his quest, "Anya", and he'll open his shop to you and you can buy the items you need for each of these recipes.

Most of the unique items are so-so; however, some of the reagent recipes actually make set items. (And these recipe set items are not otherwise available; i.e. they won't drop as random treasure.) In the list below, set items are indicated with a cross in parentheses (+). So, without further ado, here are all the recipes and the stats of the unique items they produce. (Listed in alphabetical order by the name of the item.)

*NOTE* Any armor or damage bonuses listed in the magic enhancements are already included in the armor or damage figures for the item.

======================= [5.1] Character Races=======================

The whole concept of races in DS2 is badly broken. The differences are stastically irrelevant by about level 10, which means 25% of the way into Merc level of DS2, all races are equivalent in all classes. Thus, the only reason to choose a race is because you like the way the race looks.

Human=======Available genders: male or femaleTwo unspent skill points+2 Strength+1 Dexterity+1 Intelligence+10% chance to find magic items

The bonus to magic find is a big boost early in the game, as are the two unspent skill points, which allow you to get a head start regardless of your class. The stat bonuses, though, are pretty insignificant.

Elf=====Available genders: male or femaleOne point in Critical StrikeOne point in Brilliance+1 Dexterity+3 Intelligence+5% Mana recovery

Elves are intended to be combat mages; though, they also get a small head start in melee. Overall, their bonuses help low-level mages more than anything.

Half-Giant============Available genders: maleTwo points in Fortitude+6 Strength-2 Dexterity+5% Health regeneration

The quintessential fighter, half-giants are very good at melee early in the game. Later on, their bonuses are statistically minor, so take your big guy in any direction you like.

Dryad=======Available genders: femaleOne point in Natural BondOne point in Dodge-2 Strength+4 Dexterity+2 Intelligence+10% Death Magic resistance

Dryads are largely geard toward ranged skills early in the game, with a small boost toward nature magic thrown in. The death magic reistance is a big help early on, though it will soon be overshadowed by all the equipment you'll be wearing.

Dwarf=======Available genders: maleOne point in Critical StrikeOne point in SurvivalOne point in Chant of Stone+3 Strength+1 Intelligence

Your little hairy friend is on the fast track toward being a Fist of Stone (combo fighter/nature mage). He gets three starting skill points instead of two, which really doesn't make that big a difference.

================================ [5.2] Classes, Skills & Powers================================

There are six primary classes in DS2:* Melee Combat (Fighter)* Ranged Combat (Ranger)* Combat Mage* Nature Mage* Blood Assassin (ranged + combat magic)* Fist of Stone (melee + nature magic)

For each class there is a related ability score:* Strength for melee* Dexterity for ranged* Intelligence for magic

When you use a particular type of attack, your level in that class increases as does the related stat. Thus, if you spend a lot of time shooting a bow, your ranger class level and dexterity will both increase rapidly. Non-related ability scores will also increase, but much more slowly than the related ability. Other classes will not increase at all unless you switch to that class' type of attack.

For the two "multi-class" characters--Blood Assassin and Fist of Stone--there are spells that allow you to earn experience in both classes at the same time. These weapon enchant spells are cast on your weapon (ranged weapon for Blood Assassins and melee weapon for Fists of Stone) and either buff your

character or curse enemies. While the weapon enchant spell is active, 70% of all earned experience goes to the primary class (ranged or melee) and 30% to the secondary class (combat or nature magic). Weapon enchant spells can be autocast, and you can have one weapon enchant spell active at the same time as two nature magic Embrace or Wrath spells.

You can see your class levels, your progress toward your next level, your ability scores and your progress to an ability score increase on the Inventory tab of your Character Window.

For each character, there is also a character level. Your character level increases as you gain experience from killing monsters. It is not directly related to your class levels. Each time your character level increases, you gain 1 skill point to spend on the skills shown on the Specialties tab of the Character Window. You can see your current character level and your progress toward your next level on the Character Window. You can also see your character level progress bar next to your character portrait.

Each class has skill paths that can increase the power of the character with specific types of attacks. For example, combat mages can focus skill points in fire, lightning or death magic. The types of skills you buy determine the types of hero powers you receive.

Power Recharge Rate Key:Very Fast -> 12 seconds of combatFast -> 21 seconds of combatNormal -> 35 seconds of combatSlow -> 60 seconds of combat

[5.2.1] Fighter=================Skill Paths:* Weapon + Shield* Two-handed Weapon* Dual Wield (two one-handed weapons)

The weapon + shield fighter is your basic tank that sacrifices damage potential for extra defense. A common use for such a warrior is to send him into the middle of a mob and use his Provoke power to cause the monsters to focus their attacks on him. While he's standing there taking the hits--which aren't doing much damage because of his extra armor rating--rangers and casters can stand around picking off the mobs.

Both two-handed weapon and dual wielding fighters are damage-dealers that can't take quite as much punishment as a weapon + shield tank. The primary difference between the two--other than style--is two-handed weapon fighters have powers focused on stunning enemies, while dual-wielding skills and powers are focused on increasing the number of attacks. Also, a two-handed weapon wielder will get more mileage from front-loaded powers, such as brutal attack.

If you want to concentrate on melee and use your casters mainly for support (combat mage for curses, nature mage for healing/buffs), then a dual-wielder or two-handed weapon user is your best bet. Overall, the dual wielder will give you more bang for your buck, but complementing him with a two-hander would make for devastating melee attacks.

If, on the other hand, you want to concentrate on your casters or ranger, leaving your tank as a basic meat shield, then you need to invest in the

weapon + shield skill line and powers to help keep the mobs off your back. The defensive tank works better as a non-active character sent into the midst of mobs and forgotten while you micromanage your combat mage or ranger (or both). Your healer will help keep the tank alive--assuming he's ever really in danger with his ridiculously high armor ratings.

A fighter would do well to take a level of ranger early on, to pick up the Dodge skill and add to it--especially if she's not going to be using a shield. Five levels of ranger would allow your fighter to level up the Survival skill, which not only provides good elemental resistance, but will also let your tank harvest health bushes, so you can do without a ranger.

[5.2.2] Ranger================Skill Paths:* Bow/Crossbow* Throwing Weapons

While bows and crossbows seem to be quite different weapons, they share the same skill tree and have roughly equal damage output. Crossbows do more damage per strike, but have a slower rate of fire. If you're depending on front-loaded powers or skills, you'll want a crossbow to maximize damage. If you're depending on fast attacks, you'll want to use a bow for increased fire rate. Overall, of two weapons of equal level, the bow is more likely to have a higher DPS rating.

The other main skill path for rangers is thrown weapons. Thrown weapon mastery leads to skills and powers that are able to affect multiple enemies with one throw.

In addition to their ranged weapon skills, rangers also get access to a couple of defensive skills, Dodge and Survival. Survival also allows rangers to harvest health potions from health bushes. The higher the level of Survival, the larger the potions harvested.

While there are no separate skill trees for bows and crossbows, they are quite different in use--especially the powers you will use with them. Powers that add a large amount of damage per shot, such as Charged Shots, work better with a bow and its increased rate of fire. Powers that add percentages to single shots, such as Take Aim or Thunderous Shot, work better with a crossbow and its increased damage per strike.

Thrown weapons are more of a toss-up*. There's obviously some Xena, Warrior

Princess, vibe running through the skill tree--especially Richochet. The primary goal for throwing weapon rangers is hitting multiple enemies, so Shrapnel Blast and Ricochet should be prime targets on your list of powers and skills. The big disadvantage to thrown weapons is the shorter range, which puts your more lightly armored ranger near the heat of battle.

There also are no good throwing weapons until you get into Elite Difficulty. At lower difficulties, bows and crossbows typically dish out more DPS than a thrown weapon.

You can do a little multi-classing with your ranger, giving her some nature magic levels every once in a while (or starting with about five to ten nature mage levels before switching to archery). Your ranger can then act as the healer of the party, as well as collect mana potions for the combat caster.

[5.2.3] Combat Mage=====================Skill Paths:* Fire Magic* Lightning Magic* Death Magic

Combat mages are damage-dealers. Almost all their spells are focused at hurting the enemy. Even their beneficial (buffing) spells work by draining the power from enemies. Combat mages also have curses (de-buffs), which can be quite effective. Drown and Infect, especially, work well on low-level mobs as you can kill the mobs just with the curse.

Combat mages can also summon creatures, but, on the whole, these are weaker than a nature mage's summons. Of the three destructive elements dealt by combat mages, fire is probably the most versatile as few enemies are resistant to it. On the other hand, while a lot of enemies are resistant to death magic, that line has the best powers (Corrosive Eruption, especially). Using Infect to weaken resistances can make a necromancer quite potent.

Combat mages dish out incredible amounts of damage; thus, they draw ridiculous amounts of aggro from the mobs you face. The hardest thing about playing with a CM on your team is keeping said CM in an upright and mobile state. While your CM may not outright die all that often, they are of no more use when unconscious.

The most effective power of the CM is, probably, Corrosive Eruption. At the highest level, the exploding corpses of your enemies will create chain reactions of exploding corpses that can wipe out large mobs in very short order. Conversely, focusing on death magic to get Corrosive Eruption plays right into the hands of the DS2 developers--a lot of the more dangerous mobs you face are resistant to death magic.

You can counteract this resistance with the Infect curse, but cursing draws even more aggro--like you need that. Expect to spend a lot of time fiddling with and tweaking your CM's skills and powers. And working like mad to keep them conscious during large battles.

Combat mages can also summon critters, but they don't get near as many summoning skills as nature mages, and no summons powers, so better not to worry with summoning at all.

[5.2.4] Nature Mage=====================Skill Paths:* Healing/Buffing* Summoning* Ice Magic

Nature mages are largely intended as a support character. They can deal massive amounts of damage with ice-based spells; however, there are whole areas of the game where all the enemies are resistant to ice damage. (Adding a combat mage with the Drown curse in auto-cast helps with this problem.) Ice spells are also handy for the Freezing ability, which is a big help against mini-bosses.

Regardless of which skill path you choose, you don't want to neglect your nature mage's healing and buffing skills (Nurturing Gift, Enveloping Embrace and Feral Wrath) and all nature mage's should have one healing and one buffing spell or two buffing spells in their auto-cast slots. (Don't auto-cast summons.) When it comes to powers, Aether Blast is highly destructive, though a bit hard to use effectively because you can't directly control your summons.

Nature mages are seen primarily as support personnel; but, don't sell their damage-dealing potential short. Powerful summons give you a defacto extra party slot for each NM in the group. And Aether Blast is not a power to be

sneezed at. The only problem with it is you can't directly control a summons, so you have to hope mobs will gather round it, ripe for the picking.Of course, nature mages can also heal and resurrect other party members, dispense buffs and dish out a fairly large amount of damage with ice spells. If all you really need is a healer, you're probably better off with either a dark or light naiad, as they are lower maintenance.

However, nature mages draw considerably less aggro than combat mages, so it is easier to keep them on their feet. And the cumulative effect of buffs like Spirit Embrace (immunity to curses, among other things) and Wrath of Ice (chance to freeze for all your fighters and rangers, among other things) cannot be overstated.

[5.2.5] Blood Assassin========================Blood Assassins are a combination of rangers and the nastier side of combat mages. Assassins have special curse (debuff) weapon enchant spells called "marks". When active, all targets hit by the Assassin are marked. The Assassin does additional damage to those targets and can do huge amounts of damage to all marked targets at once using the Execute power.

The big problem with Assassins is you have to let them shoot at will. If you focus on one enemy, which is really the best way to defeat most mobs, marks don't do as much good. To get the most out of an Assassin requires controlling the Assassin and spreading the Marks around, while letting the rest of your party do what they want. You then Execute to destroy swarms of monsters all at once.

Another problem with Assassins, shared with Fists of Stone, is they will be weaker at both ranged and combat magic than a dedicated ranger or mage of the same character level. This affects the amount of damage they can do, the equipment they can wear. Etc. They will also have their skill points spread out over two or three trees (ranger, blood assassin and combat mage).

Since combat mage is the secondary class, Assassins are not a good replacement for a combat mage. They can be a good replacement for a pure archer, as their skills and weapon enchant spells overcome the few levels

they lag behind. With a little bit of extra firepower behind their ranged attacks, they can be a good archer, but that's all, so there's not much reason to choose an Assassin over a pure Ranger.

[5.2.6] Fist of Stone=======================A Fist of Stone is a modification of the pure defensive tank. Their skills and powers are geared more towards defense (increases in health and armor) than anything else. A Fist of Stone set up as a sword & shield provoker and concentrating on defensive weapon enchant spells can be a pretty good replacement for a standard sword & shield fighter.

If you use your nature mage mostly for healing and some buffs (embrace and wrath spells), the Fist of Stone can be a passable replacement for a nature mage, thus filling two roles in one character (tank and healer). They will not be able to match a pure mage in summoning or ice damage.

The two big downsides are the need to spread skill points around three classes (fighter, nature mage and fist of stone) and the fact the Fist of Stone will lag behind in both fighter and nature mage levels.Fist of Stone Skills

[5.2.7] How to Buy Skills===========================Skill points are not really at that much of a premium. In addition to the one you get each character level, you can earn up to 9 in bonuses from finising quests in DS2. In Merc difficulty alone, you should end up with over 50 skill points to spend. Combine that with lots of bonuses from equipment and factor in the diminishing return from higher skill levels and it's actually pretty easy to spread skill points around.

Never buy more than 10 ranks in any skill unless you need to do so for a power. Power pre-requisites are based on your natural (i.e. non-enhanced) skill rank, so if you need Critical Shot 14 for Charged Shots level 3, then buy 14 ranks of Critical Shot. However, you should seriously consider not raising any Power to level 3 until Veteran difficulty. It won't be that much more of a help in Merc, and it will weaken your other skills.

Even though a serious multi-classed character (i.e. melee 30/combat mage 30) is not entirely tenable, don't "single-class" your character. IOW, don't make your tank S&S only with no points in Overbear or Dual Wield. You might just run into situations where more damage would help rather than more armor. Conversely, don't deny your dual-wielder the chance to pick up a shield when necessary.

Likewise, combat mages need an element to fall back on if their primary element isn't working. And any nature mage needs at least a few points put into the healing/buffing skills to really aid your party.

Plan out your skill point purchases by deciding which powers you want to use

and then figuring out the pre-reqs. Buy skill points accordingly. Leftover skill points should be put wherever you think they will do the most good: increasing damage skills is probably your best bet. The mobs you face typically have ten times as much health as you, so you need to whittle them down quickly.

Finally, don't worry if you make a mistake. Broken World introduces a trainer who will reset all the skill points of any member of your active party. A simple mod makes this trainer available in DS2 as well. (Get that mod, as well as others, from http://www.papagamer.com/content/view/60/56/ ).

__ ___________________________________________________|'-, __________/____/ \@_/_/_/_/_| ____ [6] COMPANIONS ) \__ \___________________________________________________ / |,-'

================ [6.1] Henchmen================When you first add a henchman to your party, they will be a certain level (based on your position in the main story); but, most of their skill points are unspent--so you can take them on any skill path you desire. The first two henchmen, Deru and Lothar, are such low level they can be leveled in any class you desire. Later henchmen are pretty much already set in their class path; though, Taar could probably be leveled in a class other than nature mage, if you start on it right away.

At Veteran and Elite difficulties, of course, main class levels are so high you'll have to keep them in their primary class, only doing a bit of cross training for the skills.

Henchmen do not level up if they are not in your party. When you add a henchman to your party (either for the first time or re-adding via the Inn), he/she will only level up if more than 20 levels less than your PC. If more than 20 levels below your PC, the henchman will level up to 2 levels below you.

Dungeon Siege II==================There are eight henchmen in Dungeon Siege II. They are encountered along the main quest path, and are usually unlocked as part of the main quest. (The one exception is Sartan.) Each also has a personal quest, which must be performed with that henchman in your active party.

DeruRace: DryadClass: Level 2 ranger, level 1 nature mageLoc: Next to Eirulan North Gate at beginning of Act I, Chapter 2Quest: Deru's Treasure Hunt (Act II, secondary quest #10)

Along with Lothar, Deru is your only choice for companion until Act I, Chapter 5. She is set up to play as either a ranger or nature mage; but, she's low enough level in both that she can go in any direction you like. It's probably not worth making her a fighter, since Lothar is standing nearby. Since you can probably wait on Taar to be available in Chapter 5, you

should only consider her as a ranger or combat mage. If you don't take either Deru (or Lothar) as a combat mage now, assuming your character is not, it will be a long wait until you can hire one.

In Veteran and Elite difficulties, Deru is a nature mage.

LotharRace: Half-giantClass: Level 2 fighter, level 1 combat mageLoc: Next to Eirulan North Gate at beginning of Act I, Chapter 2Quest: Lothar's Innocence (Act II, secondary quest #9)

Along with Deru, Lothar is your only choice for companion until Act I, Chapter 5. He is set up to play as either a fighter or combat mage; but, he's low enough level in both that he can go in any direction you like. It's probably not worth making him a ranger or nature mage since Deru is standing nearby; and you'll get Taar as a nature mage in Chapter 5, so only take him if you need a fighter or combat mage. If you don't take either Lothar (or Deru) as a combat mage now, assuming your character is not, it will be a long wait until you can hire one.

In Veteran and Elite difficulties, Lothar is a combat mage.

TaarRace: DryadClass: Level 8 nature mageLoc: Great Hall of Eirulan, available as a companion beginning in Act I, Chapter 5Quest: Taar's Investigation (Act I, secondary quest #9)

Taar removes your Ring of Submission at the end of Act I, Chapter 3 and sends you on your Chapter 4 quest. You also end Chapter 4 and begin Chapter 5 by speaking to her. During the conversation, you can choose to take her along. She's a good support character, but with a total limit of 4 party members at Mercenary difficulty level, you may not even want a nature mage on the team. At the very least, add her to your party so you can do her side quest, which you can do in Chapter 5. Also, Taar is your last chance at a nature mage companion, so definitely add her to your party at least once so you can add her back through the Inn, if needed.

You first meet Vix as you're traveling to the Kithraya Caverns. If you blow off his offer of help, he'll run off to the Eirulan Inn, so you can pick him up whenever you want him. He's a ranger with Quick Draw already, so you can keep him around if you're lacking a good ranged fighter in your party.

SartanRace: Half-GiantClass: Level 19 fighterLoc: In a pit in the Windstone Fortress, Act I, Chapter 9

Quest: Sartan's Suspicion (Act III, Secondary Quest #7)

By the time Sartan is available, near the end of Act I, you probably already have at least one good melee fighter in your party. If not, you should add Sartan right away. You might even want to add him as a second or third fighter considering the Act I boss is especially weak to melee. Otherwise, you can send packing to the Eirulan Inn.

AmrenRace: ElfClass: Level 20 rangerLoc: At the Aman'lu Inn, beginning in Act II, Chapter 1Quest: Amren's Vision (Act II, secondary quest #15)

Amren is the third ranger (if you consider Deru a ranger) you meet during your travels. As such, you're probably full up on ranged fighters. Fortunately, his personal quest involves almost no fighting, so you can leave "Spock" at the Inn without worrying he'll lag in levels.

FinalaRace: ElfClass: Level 22 combat mageLoc: You can add her to your party once you complete Act II, Chapter 3Quest: Finala's Contempt (Act II, secondary quest #16)

Finala is the first (and only) true combat mage you'll meet, though you could have leveled either Deru or Lothar in that class. She can be a useful addition to your party, but you should note mobs like to pick on the combat mage. Make sure she is well-armored. Since her quest involves a lot of fighting, it's probably best to keep her around and leveled up.

EvaRace: HumanClass: Level 29 fighterLoc: You rescue her at the end of Act II, Chapter 6Quest: Evangeline's Folly (Act II, secondary quest #18)

Evangeline is set up as a dual wielding fighter, but has enough unspent skill points that you can take her in any direction. Of course, by this point in the game, you're probably well set for melee companions, so you may only want her around for her quest, which you can do right after freeing her.

Broken World==============If you carry any of the DS2 henchmen with you forward to Broken World, they come through unchanged. (Assuming you can get them out of the Inn.) If you don't bring the DS2 henchmen with you, they will be hanging around the Dryad Outpost with the class levels indicated below. Each has eight unspent skill points; but, that's a moot point since a quick visit to Trainer Vireni will allow you to re-allocate their skill points as you desire.

The class levels listed here are for Mercenary difficulty, they will be appropriately higher when playing Veteran and Elite. All these characters, assuming they are not stored at the Inn, will be found in the Dryad Outpost.

* Amren: Elf, level 39 Sharpshooter (ranged 39)

Northeast section of the Outpost, on a bluff behind the arcanist

* Deru: Dryad, level 39 Grand Mage (ranged 2, nature magic 39) Practicing near the trainer on the east side of the bridge

* Eva: Human, level 39 Knight (melee 39) Running around in the southeast section of the Outpost

* Finala: Elf, level 39 Sorceress (combat magic 39) Playing on the bridge

* Lothar: Half-Giant, level 39 Sorcerer (melee 2, combat magic 39) Sitting near the south gate

* Sartan: Half-Giant, level 39 Knight (melee 39) Talking to Vix, near Burk in the southeast section of the Outpost

* Taar: Dryad, level 39 Grand Mage (nature magic 39) Next to the pet seller in the northeast section of the Outpost

* Vix: Human, level 39 Sharpshooter (ranged 39) Talking to Sartan, near Burk in the southeast section of the Outpost

Broken World adds three new henchmen; all require you embark on a quest before you can hire them. All three will stay in the spot you first encounter them if you turn them down when they offer to join.

* Celeb'hel: Elf, level 45 Sorcerer (combat magic 45) Celeb'hel waits at a Ruined Shrine not far south of the Calennor Stronghold entrance. When you complete the Part 2 secondary quest, "Celeb'hel", he offers to join up (assuming you don't cause him to assume Campbell's Chunky Soup status).

* Ressa: Elf, level 43 Assassin (ranged 39, combat magic 31) Ressa is at a campsite just south of Aman'lu. Before she will join up, you have to complete her secondary quest "Questionable Methods".

* Yoren: Dwarf, level 40 Preserver (melee 36, nature magic 29) Yoren is in the Dryad Outpost, not far from your starting point, near Burk. He initiates the "Hunt for the Lost Dwarves" secondary quest. When you find the clue to the lost dwarves, he offers to join your party and you must have him in your party to complete the quest.

============ [6.2] Pets============Most pets can simply be purchased from a pet seller in town. The dire wolf, mythrilhorn and light naiad require the completion of specific quests before you can purchase one. All pets go through six stages of development. They start as a baby, then grow to fledgling, juvenile, adolescent, young adult and finally reach mature.

Once a pet reaches maturity, they will no longer grow. Pets begin with an attack (which may be a spell) and four have another spell they can cast. The four pets with a separate spell--dark/light naiads (healing), lap dragon (buffing) and necrolithid (curse)--will autocast their spells.

When a pet reaches the juvenile stage, it will gain a power, which works just

like character powers. At maturity, the pet receives an emanation, which is some type of bonus (or buff) applied to the pet and all within a certain radius.

Pets grow by eating, and what they like to eat is the loot you collect. The more valuable the swag you stuff down their throats, the faster they will grow. They will also receive various bonuses to their stats and abilities based on what you feed them. For a list, see Handbook Lesson #42.

Pets are always the same level as your player character. In order to progress to different stages of development, pets (and, by extension, your PC) must be a certain level. (Noted as Level Req in the pet stats.) Pets count as their listed class for the purpose of opening sanctuary doors.

Dungeon Siege II==================Dark Naiad----------Cost: 1,375 goldClass: Nature MageWeapon: Duskbeam, "night energy" beam (death magic?), costs manaSpell: Fade WoundsPower: Arboreal Rejuvenation, casts healing/resurrecting magic in radius around naiad; Normal RechargeEmanation: Regeneration, increases health regeneration of companionsAcquired: Purchase from Aman'lu and Kalrathia pet storesLevel Req: Baby - 20, Fledgling - 22, Juvenile - 25, Adolescent - 27, Young Adult - 30, Mature - 32

The dark naiad (and its cousin, the light naiad) are the only healing pets in the game. Dark naiads are small, fairy-like creatures with OK attacks, a healing spell that bounces from target-to-target and a healing power and emanation. They make a capable replacement for a nature mage, but you lose out on the summoning/buffing ability of the mage. The dark naiad has lower level requirements for maturation than the light naiad and is available at a much earlier level.

Dire Wolf---------Cost: 500 goldClass: FighterWeapon: BiteSpell: n/aPower: Furious Howl, cone-effect sonic damage; Normal RechargeEmanation: Vicious Counter, 60% physical damage reflected to enemyAcquired: Complete the Dire Wolf quest in Act I (Secondary Quest #9), then purchase from any pet sellerLevel Req: Baby - 8, Fledgling - 10, Juvenile - 13, Adolescent - 15, Young Adult - 18, Mature - 20

The dire wolf is your first really good pet, and makes an excellent addition to your team. It's at least as good as any tank character, and can hold its own in the thick of battle. If you're looking for a pet, this one is hard to beat until you get much later in the game.

Fire Elemental--------------

Cost: 1,000 goldClass: Combat MageWeapon: Firestrike, costs manaSpell: n/aPower: Inferno, cone effect fire attack; Normal RechargeEmanation: Fire Resistance, increases fire and magic damage resistance of companionsAcquired: Purchase from Aman'lu and Kalrathia pet storesLevel Req: Baby - 20, Fledgling - 22, Juvenile - 25, Adolescent - 27, Young Adult - 30, Mature - 32

The fire elemental is similar to its cousin, the ice elemental. Very good when facing enemies that are not resistant to fire, not so good otherwise. Their powers duplicate combat mages specializing in fire, but they are less versatile than such mages. Their emanation is easily duplicated with good equipment.

Ice Elemental-------------Cost: 500 goldClass: Nature MageWeapon: Icestrike, costs manaSpell: n/aPower: Frost Aura, ice damage + freezing to nearby enemies; Normal RechargeEmanation: Ice Resistance, increases ice resistance and mana regeneration of companionsAcquired: Purchase at any pet sellerLevel Req: Baby - 3, Fledgling - 6, Juvenile - 9, Adolescent - 12, Young Adult - 14, Mature - 16

Ice elementals are the combat side of the nature mage. Their attacks are focused on ice damage and freezing enemies. Even though nature mage is their class, they aren't really a replacement for a nature mage because they have no healing, buffing or summoning magic. Their big advantage is their emanation, which will essentially keep your mages casting all day long.

Lap Dragon----------Cost: 2,250 goldClass: Nature MageWeapon: Dragon Fire, fireball, costs manaSpell: Dragon Scales, party buff: protection from curses, lightning resistance, death resistance, increased power recharge ratePower: Draconic Inspiration, increases damage of powers; Slow RechargeEmanation: Dragon Vitality, increases all ability scoresAcquired: Purchase from Kalrathia pet storeLevel Req: Baby - 33, Fledgling - 35, Juvenile - 37, Adolescent - 39, Young Adult - 41, Mature - 43

Don't be fooled by its name. A fully mature "lap" dragon is as big as a Half-giant. Their power, spell and emanation are focused on buffing their companions, making them a very good pet. You could build a very good party around a naiad (either light or dark), a lap dragon and a mix of rangers and fighters. You'll need plenty of mana potions, though, to keep the dragon's weapons active.

Light Naiad-----------Cost: 1,375 goldClass: Nature MageWeapon: Duskbeam, "night energy" beam (death magic?), costs manaSpell: Fade WoundsPower: Arboreal Rejuvenation, casts healing/resurrecting magic in radius around naiad; Normal RechargeEmanation: Regeneration, increases health regeneration of companionsAcquired: Purchase from Daesthai after beating the tenth, and final, round of the Aman'lu ArenaLevel Req: Baby - 36, Fledgling - 38, Juvenile - 41, Adolescent - 43, Young Adult - 46, Mature - 48

The light naiad (and its cousin, the dark naiad) are the only healing pets in the game. Light naiads are small, fairy-like creatures with OK attacks, a healing spell that bounces from target-to-target and a healing power and emanation. They make a capable replacement for a nature mage, but you lose out on the summoning/buffing ability of the mage. As an advantage over the dark naiad, the light naiad has magic resistance (20% at maturity) and a more powerful Fade Wounds spell (+10% health restored).

Mythrilhorn-----------Cost: 1,750 goldClass: FighterWeapon: Claw StrikeSpell: n/aPower: Enrage, works like fighter power Provoke; Very Fast RechargeEmanation: Defense Aura, increases party's armor ratingsAcquired: Purchase from Aman'lu or Kalrathia pet seller after completing Mythrilhorn quest (Act II, Secondary Quest #7)Level Req: Baby - 30, Fledgling - 32, Juvenile - 34, Adolescent - 36, Young Adult - 38, Mature - 40

The mythrilhorn takes the place of a shield tank. It has heavy armor (that can be increased by feeding it fighter armor), lots of health and a power similar to Provoke. Even its normal attacks draw aggro from enemies. Its emanation is a big help to mages, who can use all the armor bonus they can get. If you need a meat shield and aggro-collector, the mythrilhorn is better and lower maintenance than a weapon & shield tank.

Necrolithid-----------Cost: 2,250 goldClass: Combat MageWeapon: Deathstrike, death energy attack, costs manaSpell: Necrosis, curse causes enemy armor to weakenPower: Decompose, infects enemies, when enemies die, some of their essence heals party members; Normal RechargeEmanation: Mana Steal, party members regenerate mana when they damage enemiesAcquired: Purchase from Aman'lu and Kalrathia pet storesLevel Req: Baby - 20, Fledgling - 22, Juvenile - 25, Adolescent - 27, Young Adult - 30, Mature - 32

The necrolithid is a particularly ugly pet, but has a wide range of useful abilities: death magic attack, curse, healing power and mana regeneration aura. This pet would be especially handy for a mage-heavy party.

Pack Mule---------Cost: 300 goldClass: FighterWeapon: Strong kickSpell: n/aPower: Staggering Kick, extra damage and a stunning effect; Normal RechargeEmanation: Reveal Treasure, opens all chests and boxes and breaks all containers around muleAcquired: Purchase from any pet sellerLevel Req: Baby - 3, Fledgling - 5, Juvenile - 7, Adolescent - 9, Young Adult - 11, Mature - 13

The pack mule's biggest advantage is its ability to carry stuff. At fledgling level, the mule gets an additional page of Inventory (i.e. inventory space doubles). At adolescent level, the mule gets a third page (inventory space triples). Add to that the fact the mule can fight pretty well, and it becomes a valuable resource for pack rats.

You can even use a mule (or mules) as storage vaults--filling up their inventories and then disbanding them to the Inn, waiting to be re-added to the party whenever you need your stuff. However, the mule's emanation is pretty weak, unless you're lazy, and...well, they just don't look as cool as the other pets.

Scorpion Queen--------------Cost: 350 goldClass: RangerWeapon: Scorpion StingSpell: n/aPower: Explosive Sting, an AoE ranged attack; Normal RechargeEmanation: Evasion Aura, increase companions' chance to dodge attacksAcquired: Purchase from any pet sellerLevel Req: Baby - 3, Fledgling - 6, Juvenile - 9, Adolescent - 12, Young Adult - 15, Mature - 18

The scorpion queen is the only ranger pet, as such it has a special place. Its thunderous power can be very handy, as is Evasion Aura. As a replacement for a ranger, the scorpion lacks a bit in versatility, but makes up for this with its emanation and lack of requirement for equipment.

Broken World==============Broken World adds two new pets. These pets are immediately available from the pet seller in the Dryad Outpost at the beginning of the game. All other pets are also available from the dryad pet seller.

Kohl Beast------------Cost: 5,000 goldClass: MeleeWeapon: Claw SlashSpell: n/aPower: Flurry; Increases attack speed and damage of kohl beast for

4 seconds; Normal rechargeEmanation: Deadly Strike; increases frequency and damage of melee and ranged critical hitsAcquired: From the pet seller in the Dryad OutpostLevel Req: Baby - 40, Fledgling - 42, Juvenile - 44, Adolescent - 46, Young Adult - 48, Mature - 50

The kohl beast is a good choice for a melee/ranged heavy party for its emanation. It's also a pretty good fighter, but doesn't offer much beyond that to mages.

Pack Ram----------Cost: 4,000 goldClass: MeleeWeapon: KickSpell: n/aPower: Earthquake; sends out waves of force that damage and stun enemies; Slow rechargeEmanation: Determination; increases party max health and strengthAcquired: From the pet seller in the Dryad OutpostLevel Req: Baby - 40, Fledgling - 42, Juvenile - 44, Adolescent - 46, Young Adult - 48, Mature - 50

The pack ram is an alternate for the pack mule. It gets one extra page of inventory at the Adolescent stage. Compared to the mule, you get a pack animal with a more useful emanation and power, but less overall storage space.
