divinity 2

--------------| General Tips | --------------

-Don't fuss over your appearance and voice choice too much. You can change itagain before the tutorial is over. If you still don't like it, you can changeit whenever you want after the game's halfway point (but you're stuck with ituntil then).

-Mind reading is an experience debt - it does not take away from your currentearned experience. Experience you gain in the future will go to paying off thedebt first, then you can resume gaining exp towards your next level. Yourcurrent experience and experience debt are listed on your inventory screen.

-The game is difficult for the first 12 levels almost regardless of whatskills you choose. After reaching level 12, for a variety of reasons, the gamebecomes much easier.

-The game becomes even easier still after acquiring your battle tower (roughlyhalfway through the game), due to the plentiful availability of potions andpowerful creature parts. If potions and creature use aren't enough, considerretraining your skills at the skill trainer. If all else fails, you can bumpthe game's difficulty down a notch in the options menu.

-Keep an eye out for unusual looking rocks and plants. You can harvest gemsand ores used for enchanting or plants used for alchemy.

-Don't feel pressured to save all the gems, ore, and herbs that you find. Saveany Malachite Gems, but everything else becomes extremely easy to acquire inlarge quantities later on.

-Divinity 2 has no fall damage, and virtual skydiving is a fun sport.

-Food is plentiful in the early game, and can be used to regenerate hitpoints. Drinks will regenerate mana. These are excellent alternatives topotions until level 10 or so, when you have too many hit points and mana torely on such weak sources of replenishment.

-Disenchant any enchanted items before selling them. This is one of the bestways to learn a wide variety of enchanting formulas. Plus, it doesn't have aneffect on the sale value of the item.

-The small, green button just below and to the left of your inventory tabswill auto sort the current tab when pressed.

-Healing may cost lots of mana, but don't life tap after using it. The lifetap will end the regeneration effect of the healing spell. Wait for theregeneration to end, then life tap.

-Use and abuse the quicksave feature. Bind a quicksave key to something nearbyand press it every few minutes and before difficult fights. It's goodinsurance in case the game crashes, or in case a particular fight is tougherthan you thought it would be.

-Make regular backup saves, too. Once you get in the habit of quicksaving,it's very easy to quicksave in a bad situation. Try making regular savesbefore entering new dungeons, before turning in difficult quests, and everytime you gain a level. Saving before major boss encounters or game-changingevents is a wise idea, too.

-If you explore thoroughly, by the end of the game you should have around 65skill points. If you're extremely thorough, you can have over 75.

-----------| Item Tips | -----------

-Keep an eye out for equipment that gives a bonus to a skill, especially askill you plan on taking. These bonuses are the only way to max many of thebest skills in the game.

-Most containers have randomly generated loot, which scales to your level. Notonly does this mean the same container will have better items if you open itat level 15 instead of 5, but it also means you can save before opening achest and reload if you don't like what's inside. The exact moment that thecontents are determined occurs as you approach the container, not when youopen it, so be careful if you try this trick. If you save too close to thecontainer, reloading won't change its contents.

-Locked chests work slightly differently. For those, loot is only generated ifyou can open the chest. If you don't have the key or your lockpick skill isn'thigh enough, the chest contents remain undetermined no matter how close youget.

-Quest items are randomly generated, too, but have a much more consistentquality than container loot. Furthermore, the loot is generated when you turnin the quest, and not before. So, if a quest offers a particularly goodquality set of reward choices, you can simply save before turning it in, thenkeep reloading until you find a reward you like.

-Many boss enemies will also drop items of a consistent quality when killed,and this same reload trick works for them, too. Save right before dealing thekilling blow, then if they don't drop an item you like, reload and kill themagain.

-For the most part, abusing the above tricks is a huge waste of time. Thereare less than a dozen places in the game where it might be worthwhile:malachite ore veins, and legendary or better quality quest rewards or itemdrops. For everything else, it's simply not worth the time. The Gremory chestis a notable exception, since it always contains a legendary quality item,unlike most chests which only have a small chance at containing a randomheroic quality item at best.

-Shops are actually quite a bit better than they first appear. They restocktheir inventories to match you every time you gain a level. Merchants thatsell magical and heroic goods are quite precious indeed and you should visitthem every level to peruse their offerings for potential upgrades. Late in thegame, you can gain access to merchants that regularly stock legendary qualityitems. Such shops are your best bet for finding equipment that surpasses thepre-defined sets in the game.

-Don't let the quality of an item fool you. If the item level is high enough,an uncommon item may be far superior to even a legendary. The quality of anitem only affects the number of properties, charm slots, and enchantments itcan have.

-Hit point regeneration is the best jewelry enchant by far. Stack as manyregenerating items as you can, but don't waste your malachite gems enchantingit on new jewelry until you can enchant level 10 healing aura on an itemthat's really good even without it.

-Life line is a surprisingly good armor enchant. The more hit points you have,the more you regenerate. Of course, protection enchants are good, too.

-Increased damage and increased magical damage are the best weapon enchants.They add more damage to each swing than any other enchant without exception.If you have a weapon with a third enchanting slot, the last enchant is up topersonal preference.

-Gold is almost never a worthwhile quest reward. The items usually sell formore, even if you won't use them.

-In the early game, it's not very important to maximize your exp. Once you getto Orobas Fjords, consider taking as many exp rewards as you can, unless anitem being offered is very good for you (such as one that raises a skill).

-After the halfway point of the game, it's nearly impossible to run out ofgold. Just send your gem runner out for diamonds and your ore runner out formalachite ore a few times, and you'll have 10k worth of gems and ore to sellto a vendor before you know it. Repeat as needed.

-In a similar manner, potions are infinite. Since herbs sell so poorly anyway,you can stock up on herbs for your favorite potions while your other runnersline your pockets with gold. It's pretty hard to die when carrying 75 potionsof greater rejuvenation.

-------------------| Battle Tower Tips | -------------------

-Between the two necromancers, Jonelath is the superior choice. The armorbonuses they grant your creature are negligible, and you get more exp forcompleting Jonelath's quests.

-For a skill trainer, choose Hermosa. Upgrading your Skill Training Area tothe max level with Kenneth requires you to give up a book that gives you fiveskill points - the single biggest skill boost in the game. Hermosa only asksyou to give up a sword - a good sword, for sure, but it's hardly five skillpoints.

-The choice of enchanters is a tougher one. If you intend to upgrade yourWorkshop to the maximum, choose Wesson to gain more exp and two skill pointsinstead of one. If you choose Radcliff, however, you can sacrifice the finalupgrade (which isn't very useful) for two malachite gems (which are extremelyuseful).

-If you choose Allan as your alchemist, you can have him make you the uniqueAllan Brew - an armor potion 1.5 times as effective as the next best one.

Barbatos, on the other hand, will reward you with one more skill point and hereduces the ingredient cost of potions at the max Alchemy Garden level by 3instead of Allan's 2. Furthermore, he can make stat buffing potions for free,though they aren't the highest quality (and cheap ingredients make forplentiful better potions anyway). Lastly, choosing Allan forces you to give upthe Potion of Wisdom, which grants you 5 int for free. Unless you really likeAllan's personality, Barbatos is the better choice.

-Once fully equipped, your runners will complete their errands as soon as youleave your Battle Tower and return. Take advantage of their speed to quicklystock up on valuable materials. If you leave your tower before they've evenfinished running out, however, you'll have to leave one more time before theyreturn.

-When you upgrade your workshop, you must choose whether to upgrade weapons,armour, or jewelry. Whichever you pick, all formulas for that type will costone less of each ingredient. This cannot reduce the cost below 1, sounfortunately, all enchants requiring Malachite Gems still do so.

-Upgrading your Alchemist will make all formulas cost one less of eachingredient. Unlike the workshop upgrade, this can reduce certain ingredientcosts to zero. A potion will never be completely free, however, so even verylow level potions will still require at least one ingredient.

-------------| Dragon Tips | -------------

-Contrary to the loading tips, there seems to be no cooldown whatsoever onyour dragon morph stone. You can transform in and out of dragon form as oftenand as rapidly as you like.

-Press the activate key (default 'E') while flying as a dragon to gain a quickspeed boost. You can do this once every two seconds.

-You only need one point of Dragon Spirit. The more points you have in FireSphere and Firebreath, on the other hand, the better off you'll be.

-Dragon armor seems to have no effect on stats other than granting you a skillbonus.

-You can find many unique pieces of dragon armor in the Flying Fortresses.These pieces tend to increase your best skills, such as Fire Sphere andFirebreath.

-When you unlearn all of your skills at a trainer, your Dragon skills areunlearned, too.

-Your wyvern friend is useless as anything except a distractionary meat bag.

---------------| Leveling Tips | ---------------

-You gain most of your experience from killing monsters, and the experienceyou gain for each kill reduces with every level you gain.

-For that reason, do all of your mind reading before you go out exploring.You'll gain more exp overall than you would if you did your exploringbeforehand.

-Unless you're in desperate need of a level, you should hold onto quests, too.Kill exp goes down as you level, but quest rewards don't. On the contrary,item rewards improve the higher the level you are.

-Because of the way you gain experience, the value of Wisdom is questionable.In most cases, additional experience just means you'll get less exp fromenemies even sooner (and it's a far greater difference than the piddly 2% perpoint granted by Wisdom). Wisdom is at its best after you've killed plentifulenemies and are ready to turn in a large number of quests. Avoid it in theearly game, but consider investing in Wisdom once you get to Orobas Fjords forthat reason.

-If you save most of your Orobas Fjords quests until after you've reached thehighest level you can by other means, you can expect to reach level 35.

-If you truly go out of your way to level build as much as possible (abusingthe respawning enemies in the chapel of Aleroth, for example) it's possible toreach level 37. It might even be possible to reach higher, but it becomesexponentially more difficult (and wastes that much more of your time).

-Defensive buildings are the single exception to level scaling exp gain. Nomatter how high your level, blowing up buildings as a dragon always gives fullexp. For that reason, try to save as many buildings as you can until you'vetruly gotten as much exp as possible from killing enemies in human form.

-Do all these tips sound like a huge pain? Do you think they aren't worth theeffort? Then finish the game at level 32 or 33 and be happy. Frankly, the gamegets boring when you're level 37 anyway, because you can't take any damageoutside of the final battle (which is still easy at that level).

----------------------| Flying Fortress Tips | ----------------------

-The easiest fortress to take down is Stone's, by a pretty big margin.

-Raze's fortress is the second easiest.

-Save Keara's fortress for last; it's quite difficult.

-Of the two that remain, Kali's fortress is probably the harder one.

-Attack Wizard and Lightning Towers first, then move on to Nest Towers second.From there, just mop up the flying enemies and ballistas in whatever order yousee fit.

-If you're taking a lot of damage and you can't heal it all, find somewhere toland. Heal up as a human, then take off as a dragon again. Flying enemies andbuildings won't attack you while you're a human. A single point in the healskill is very useful for this, since your mana regenerates quite quickly as adragon.

-Dragon Commanders are extremely difficult to kill due to a full-life heal

with a very short cooldown. Save them for last, then focus your attacks onthem until they finally go down. There does seem to be a limit to their manapool, but it lasts for several heals. If you can't outlast them, try thinningout nearby ballistas.

----------------| Malachite Gems | ----------------

Needed for the best enchants in the game, these rare and elusive gems arequite precious. While it's near impossible to get all of them in a single playthrough of the game, using this list, you should be able to get enough tocomfortably enhance your favorite weapons, armor, and jewelry.

Broken Valley:-You can buy two gems from Merchant Lamotte in the Broken Valley village.

-The only other gem you can acquire before adventuring in Orobas Fjords comesfrom waking up the sleeping trio east of Lovis' tower.

Orobas Fjords:-On the path leading to High Hall from the Depleted Ore Mine, you encounter atraveling merchant by the name of Carleton. He sells a malachite gem, but becareful! At the time of this writing, there is a bug that causes you to beunable to buy from him if you open trade via dialogue. Click the Trade buttoninstead and you will be able to buy the gem.

-You receive two malachite gems as a reward for completing the quest 'TheHorror of High Hall'. If you read Beatrice's mind, the reward becomes fourgems, making this the single largest (reliable) source of malachite gems.

-If you read the goblin Charlie's mind while on the quest 'Reaping the Seeds',a small treasure chest appears in the nest on top of Yggdrasil, and amalachite gem is inside.

-If you chose Radcliff as your enchanter, you can trade the gem he asks for toa pair of goblins in exchange for two malachite gems. Doing so will bar youfrom ever getting a second upgrade for your workshop, but it's probably worththe trade off unless you enchant a whole lot and hate utilizing your runners.

Malachite Veins:The rest of the malachite gems can be found randomly in malachite veins. Therearen't many, and each one isn't guaranteed to have even one gem (though forumrumors suggest up to four in a single vein). If you save your game beforeapproaching any given malachite vein, you can always reload until you get moregems. However, it's probably not worth reloading as long as you get at leastone.

-The first malachite vein you're likely to encounter is in the Depleted OreMine, just past the three pedestals with the red, blue, and dark books on top.

-There is a second vein just behind the first. After you finish plundering thefirst, turn around and look up. You'll have to jump onto a rock to reach it.

-There are two malachite veins near the Patriarch. The first is along theeastern wall and is relatively easy to find. The second is hidden behind somerocks on the western wall, very near an empty wagon sitting just in front of

the wooden platform you stand on when talking with the Patriarch.

-Two more malachite veins are in the Lost Tomb (the cave opened by the fourtreasure hunter's seals). The first is along the right wall as you approachthe stone platform. The second is beneath the wooden platform on the left....and those poor adventurers thought there was nothing of value in there.

-There are two malachite veins in the Well Cave, in the room where you fightZagan. It's relatively hard to get these without triggering the combat, afterwhich it's technically possible to still get the gems but rather difficult.Simply hug the left wall as tightly as you can, jumping up onto tall rocksinstead of going around when possible. When you're directly south of the largeorb in the middle of the room, you should see a large, flat rock with twomalachite veins on it. If you activate the combat by mistake, it's easiest tojust reload.

-If you don't want to or can't reload, you'll have to exploit a bug to getthe above two veins. First, finish the combat and fly to the exit. Then, aftertransforming out of your dragon form, turn around and walk onto the large rockto the left. You'll want to jump out into the cavern, but angled sharply tothe right. If done correctly, when the game tries to auto-transform you into adragon, you'll get a "not enough room" error and fall into the lava, strangelytaking no damage. From there, you should jump out of the lava, work your wayaround the orb with skillful acrobatics, and finally claim your gems. It's alot easier to just reload.

---------------| Priest Skills | ---------------

Summon Undead-------------You can summon a level * creature for * seconds. The undead attack your foeswith fireballs.

Mana Cost: *Cooldown Time: 30 seconds

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 1 | 4 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 19 | 22 | 24 | 27 | 30 | 32 | 35 | 37 | - ||180 |200 |220 |240 |260 |280 |300 |320 |340 |360 |380 |400 |420 |440 | - || 22 | 34 | 50 | 62 | 74 | 86 | 94 |106 |114 |126 |138 |146 |158 |166 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dead. What are they good for besides pushing up daisies? Those with ataste for the darker side of magic will answer that question with thisparticular spell. For the dead, when brought back to life, will do anythingfor their master, including battle. Especially battle, in fact.

Comments: Summons are fairly universally weak in this game, and this isarguably the weakest of them. Best to avoid it. Its one saving grace is the"low" cooldown, but since the cooldown on a summon skill starts when thecreature dies or its time runs out, 30 seconds is still a long time to wait ifyou're depending on it.

Summon Ghost------------You can summon a level * ghost for * seconds. Ghosts will heal you, i.e.regenerate your hitpoints.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 1 | 4 | 9 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 19 | 22 | 24 | 27 | 30 | 32 | 35 | 37 | - || 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 |100 |110 |120 |130 |140 |150 |160 |170 |180 |190 | - || 22 | 34 | 54 | 62 | 74 | 86 | 94 |106 |114 |126 |138 |146 |158 |166 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ghosts are restless beings. Terrible in appearance they haunt us, instil uswith numbing fear. So why, some Mage must once have thought, should we notcall them to our aid in combat? And a wise thought it was, because ever sincethen many a wizard has treated his foes to one final nightmare from whichthey never woke.

Comments: Potentially useful for its heal, but the points are better spent onyour own method of healing that doesn't rely on a creature that may or may notdecide to heal you when you need it.

Fear----You inspire fear in all unfriendly creatures that are level * or lower andcloser than * meters to you. They run off for * seconds.


------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 9 | 16 | 23 | 30 | 37 || 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 || 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 || 23 | 44 | 65 | 86 |107 | ------------------------

Fear may paralyse you: block all functions, body and mind. But this issomething different. This is fear that strikes at the very core of one'sbeing, catapults one into a sickening frenzy and leaves the victim with noother impulse but to flee. In other words: you cast the spell and your enemiesdo a runner.

Comments: It can be good to get some distance from powerful melee, but it'spossible for enemies to be immune to it, and it's rare to be set upon byclusters of multiple melee. Better to spend points on an area damage skillthan to waste time and mana playing mystical yo-yo with your opponents.

Hide In Shadows---------------You can make yourself invisible for * seconds at a cost of * mana points persecond.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | 75 | - || 9 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | - || 6 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 15 | 18 | 19 | 22 | 23 | 26 | 27 | 30 | 31 | 34 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swinging broad axes donning heavy armour, casting sorceries as the arrows whizaround your head, trying to make that precision shot as a howling troll withmurder in its eyes stampedes towards you ... doing battle can be a gruellingbusiness. Which is why some prefer to give it a miss once in a while, as theybecome unified with the shadows, invisible to the naked eye. Because why wouldyou go through the trouble of fighting, when you can simply bypass youroblivious opponents?

Comments: A single point is useful for escaping tight situations or settingyourself up in an advantageous position before battle. More than that is notneeded or even very helpful. Avoiding entire fights as the descriptionsuggests is generally not recommended.

Charm-----You can charm a total of * creatures up to level * for * seconds to fight atyour side. Each creature must be charmed separately, though.

Mana Cost: *Cooldown Time: * seconds

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 || 13 | 19 | 25 | 31 | 37 || 20 | 25 | 35 | 50 | 60 || 42 | 66 | 90 |114 |138 || 30 | 25 | 20 | 20 | 20 | ------------------------

Much like the polymorph spell, charming your opponents is aimed at lesseningthe number of hostiles that seek to plant their pointy ends into your skull.But the Charm spell does not merely immobilize them by turning them intoladybirds: it turns them against each other, so wounding or even killing youropposition before the effect wears off.

Comments: Useful to take on opponents well above your level, but it reducesthe xp you get from the kill. It can help with tough fights when youropponents aren't immune, but they are immune for the toughest fights, so youmay not wish to depend on it.

Summon Mastery--------------Your summoned creatures receive a *% increase in power.

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | ------------------------

As if summoning a variety of strange and dangerous creatures to your aid isn'ta powerful enough ability already, Summoning Mastery ensures that those yousummon are even more potent than regularly summoned battle helpers. You canprobably just stand by and watch the fight.

Comments: Summoning a variety of strange and dangerous creatures isn't apowerful enough ability, even with this skill. It's a waste, but at least it'sonly a waste of 5 points.

Curse-----You can curse all enemies of up to level * and up to * meters away from you.As a result their damage suffers a % penalty and their conditioned body,heightened reflexes, and indomitable will stats suffer a * penalty for *seconds.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 13 | 16 | 19 | 21 | 23 | 25 | 27 | 29 | 31 | 33 | 35 | 37 | 39 | 41 | - || 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | - ||-20 |-23 |-26 |-29 |-32 |-35 |-38 |-41 |-44 |-47 |-50 |-53 |-56 |-59 | - || 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | 75 | 80 | 85 | - || 11 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 19 | 21 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 27 | 29 | 30 | 32 | 34 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you speak this spell, the creatures close to you become cursed, meaningthat they become severely weakened and ready to be plucked ... or decapitated.Whatever suits your fancy.

Comments: Like with many neat-sounding priest skills, the toughest enemies areimmune to it. The weaker ones go down easily enough without cursing them, andthe curse doesn't seem to make you take all that much less damage when you'resurrounded either. Points are better spent elsewhere.

Blind-----You can blind a creature up to level * for * seconds.


------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 20 | 23 | 26 | 30 | 38 || 60 | 80 |100 |120 |140 |

| 17 | 23 | 29 | 35 | 41 | ------------------------

To blind your enemy is to temporarily take away his vision, leaving himstumbling in the dark: in combat, about as effective as a pacifistic sparrow.Just don't stand around too long, laughing at his bewilderment, becaues he'sbound to be a tad enraged when he gets you in his sights again.

Comments: Most enemies you'd really want to use this on are immune, so it's abad idea to get used to using this skill. The best way to do that is to notspend points on it.

Life Tap--------You can sacrifice up to 10% of your health at a rate of * mana per hitpoint.

Mana Cost: 0Cooldown Time: 60 seconds

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 2 |2.5 | 3 |3.5 | 4 | ------------------------

As you become a powerful wizard, you may find yourself in a situation in whichyou're casting all sorts of spells while you stay at a distance - unharmed andunthreatened. The problem is that your magical energies may start to run low.The solution: simply transfer some of your life energy to your magical energyand you can keep enjoying the grisly spectacle you create.

Comments: A surprisingly effective way to replenish your mana if you're a purecaster, making it probably the single best priest skill. If you don't plan onever meleeing under any circumstances, take this skill. If you have a ton ofhit points and sometimes run out of mana, it's still worth a single point.

Master Herbalist----------------You need *% less of ingredients to create potions.

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 15 | 30 | 45 | 60 | 80 | ------------------------

Versed as you are in the powers and potentials of all plants and herbs thatgrow in Rivellon, it takes you fewer specimens to cook a successful brew. Thishas not only made you famous for your mushroom soup, but also for theefficiency with which you make useful potions.

Comments: Potion ingredients are ridiculously plentiful, so stay away fromthis skill unless you go through a *lot* of potions. Even if you use 5 potionsevery combat, it's still probably not worth it.

Summon Demon------------You can summon a level * demon for * seconds. Demons will taunt your enemiesand engage in melee combat.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 20 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 35 | 36 | 37 | - | - ||180 |200 |220 |240 |260 |280 |300 |320 |340 |360 |380 |400 |420 | - | - || 98 |110 |114 |118 |126 |130 |134 |142 |146 |150 |158 |162 |166 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

If ever you find yourself outnumbered in a fight, this is the skill to use.Not only will the appearance of a Demon most likely leave your adversariesstranded with malodorous breeches, its claws will send them, torn to shreds,straight to the hellish dimensions whence your unholy ally came.

Comments: Probably the best summon, since it gets in the enemies' faces andtakes hits for you. You might consider spending points here if you want yourcreature to be a mage or a ranger. This might even be a viable tactic if youwant to focus numerous points on skills with long cooldowns and don't mindspending large portions of battle standing around and watching your allies dothe work for you. Hide In Shadows would be an excellent companion to thisstrategy.

Way of the Wise Wizard----------------------You get a bonus of * for magic armour rating, and * for indomitable will, buta *% penalty for magic damage. The effect lasts for a maximum of 90 seconds.


------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 || 15 | 18 | 21 | 24 | 27 ||-40 |-30 |-20 |-10 | 0 || 19 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 25 | ------------------------

Those who enjoy putting up an impenetrable shield of defensive magic will getthe most out of their specialty by choosing this skill, which will enhance allthe stats that pertain to it.

Comments: Even at only 5 points, it's just not worthwhile. In the rare fightwhere you take plentiful magic damage, this skill won't do much to lessen theimpact. Potions are far more effective, and don't cost skill points.

-------------| Mage Skills | -------------

Magic Missile-------------You can shoot * magic missiles that will find and damage enemies around youfor * hit points.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | - || 6 | 6 | 14 | 23 | 43 | 62 | 76 | 76 | 90 |146 |178 |161 |191 |212 | - || 6 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 19 | 22 | 24 | 27 | 29 | 32 | 35 | 37 | 40 | 42 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

A magic missile is in essence a blast of raw magical energy that strikes theenemy in a few consecutive waves. Unless there are multiple enemies, for thenthe missile automatically targets several opponents. Like the fireball, thespell is as simple as it is lethal.

Comments: The only truly spammable skill in the pure mage's arsenal. If youwant to avoid melee and don't fancy a bow, this skill is your onlyalternative. Luckily, it's a perfectly viable one.

Fireball--------Hurl a fireball at a target, which hurts it and everyone within a * meterrange for * magic damage. There's a *% chance they will catch fire, soinflicting additional damage.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 | 12 | 12 | 12 | 12 | - || 8 | 23 | 47 | 68 |195 |278 |342 |455 |540 |878 |1070|1208|1431|1592| - || 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | - || 14 | 21 | 30 | 38 | 45 | 52 | 57 | 64 | 69 | 76 | 83 | 88 | 95 |100 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like a miniature Sun that burns the flesh from your enemies' bodies, you canhurl a single ball of fire towards an unfortunate foe from the tips of yourfingers. Whereas many a wizard will acknowledge this as a basic spell, nonewill make the mistake of underestimating its deadly force.

Comments: This skill would be excellent if the cooldown lowered as you putmore points into it. It doesn't, making this a very poor choice. Highlyconsider explosive arrow instead (which does more damage for less mana if youdon't mind equipping a bow). It can be good to supplement another damageskill, however, providing a very nice boost in damage every 15 seconds. Itworks quite well in combination with melee in the early game.

Mana Efficiency---------------Your skills cost you only *% of the required mana.

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 90 | 80 | 70 | 60 | 50 | ------------------------

Performing a whirlwind attack or casting a fire wall costs mana, but you havetrained your spirit and therefore don't need to catch your mental breath asquickly as others might. A very practical ability indeed, for, as the sayinggoes, two whirlwinds are always better than one.

Comments: If you plan on using spells as your primary source of damage, it'shard to go wrong with this. It might be overkill, however, if you use ManaLeech, which will single-handedly take care of your mana concerns with onepoint.

Polymorph---------You can turn up to * of your enemies into a ladybird for * seconds. Thetargets must be struck by the spell individually. You can strike them * timesbefore they change back.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | - || 10 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 20 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 45 | 50 | - || 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | - || 30 | 42 | 58 | 70 | 78 | 90 | 98 |110 |118 |130 |138 |150 |158 |170 | - || 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine, if you will, two fierce undead warriors sporting claws and jaggedswords with your name on them. Facing two such savage adversaries at the sametime might just be more than you can handle. Luckily, you have the polymorphspell at your disposal, which will briefly transform those on its receivingend into harmless ladybirds. This is sure to make your life easier and theirsbriefer.

Comments: Like its cousins charm, blind, and fear, the toughest enemies areimmune to this spell. It does seem to be the most effective of the crowdcontrol skills, however points are likely better spent elsewhere lest you growto rely on a skill that will fail you when you need it most.

Confusion---------Enemies struck by a magical attack have a *% chance of being stunned for *seconds.

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 5 | 7 | 9 | 12 | 15 || 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | ------------------------

This subtle but powerful skill adds a special ability to other sorceries youcast: each time one of your spells like Magic Blast or Fire Wall hits anopponent, it has a chance of stunning that opponent for a while, stripping himof effectiveness in battle.

Comments: Although quite spammy, it's good in combination with magic missile.

Outside of that, you won't use spells often enough to make it worth thepoints. The stun won't work on any really tough enemies, but it can helplessen the damage from groups of normal enemies while you magic missile spamthem.

Magic Blast-----------You can shoot * magic projectiles in rapid succession at a single target, eachdoing * hitpoints of damage.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | - || 20 | 28 | 45 |130 |166 |228 |277 |332 |391 |626 |713 |805 |902 |1062| - || 32 | 38 | 50 | 59 | 65 | 74 | 80 | 86 | 92 |101 |107 |113 |119 |128 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damning your opponent with a Magic Blast will surround him with many stab-likethrusts of destructive magic. That might seem somewhat sadistic, but it getsthe job done.

Comments: At high levels, this will kill anything in the game in a single useand you can use it as often as fireball. Combined with an area damage skill,this skill will make you unstoppable.

Mana Leech----------A successful melee hit on an enemy has a *% chance of draining *% of thedamage done and adding it to your mana pool.

----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 || 80 | 81 | 82 | 83 | 84 | 85 | 86 | 87 | 88 | 89 | 90 | 91 | 92 || 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | ----------------------------------------------------------------

With Mana Leech, you don't just wound your enemy as you hit him, but alsogradually drain his magical energies from his body and perchance add them toyour own with each hit you score.

Comments: Take one point in this if you melee at all, even a little bit. Thatsingle point will reliably keep your mana topped off whenever you need it,thus making more than one point somewhat unnecessary.

Destruction-----------

Your magical attacks do *% extra damage.

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 18 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | ------------------------

As if the ravaging powers of magic aren't terrible enough already this skill,as its name implies, will add to the destruction caused by your fireballs,magic missiles, and other wizard spells.

Comments: Take this if you use magic missile, fireball, fire wall, or magicblast. It's a cheap way to make them ridiculously more effective.

Fire Wall---------You can create a circle of fire on the ground around you for 5 seconds. Anyenemy caught within the flames starts to burn for * points of damage persecond.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 58 | 82 |100 |122 |132 |156 |234 |250 |286 |322 |340 |382 |424 | - | - || 29 | 34 | 37 | 40 | 41 | 44 | 47 | 49 | 52 | 55 | 56 | 59 | 62 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once released, this great circle of red-hot flame will blacken anything caughtin its blast and burn all who are foolish enough to enter its fulgentperimiter, thus providing you with the best of both worlds by combiningoffence with defence in one single incantation.

Comments: A better alternative to fire ball, with the solid drawback ofneeding to be close to your enemies to hit them with it. The damage might notseem like much and the cooldown is long, but at high levels it will kill mostnormal enemies in a single hit. Try trapping enemies on the wall itself todeal even more damage.

Healing-------You can heal yourself at a rate of * hitpoints per second, for * seconds.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 15 | 18 | 22 | 24 | 29 | 32 | 41 | 42 | 56 | 60 | 83 | 88 |140 | - | - || 8 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | - | - ||101 |116 |126 |136 |141 |151 |161 |166 |176 |186 |191 |201 |211 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

When in combat, you will get hurt. But not to worry, for this simple healingspell will douse any wound like water would fire - leaving your dazedopponents wondering why their blades don't seem to have had much effect!

Comments: A single point is quite good in the early game, especially if you'rea melee fighter. More than that isn't really necessary, and it becomes lessuseful the further you get (potions become more plentiful and powerful, andother regen skills become useful in its stead). You might put points into thisif you're never going to melee, but 5 points in Potion Efficiency might work

better.

Way of the Battle Mage----------------------You get a bonus of *% for magic damage, but a * point penalty for magic armorrating and a * point penalty for indomitable will. The effect lasts for amaximum of 90 seconds.


------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 ||-20 |-15 |-10 | -5 | 0 ||-20 |-15 |-10 | -5 | 0 || 49 | 53 | 57 | 59 | 63 | ------------------------

Those who revel in the joy of aggressive magic will get the most out of theirspecialty by choosing this skill, which will enhance all the stats thatpertain to it.

Comments: It affects magic damage on weapons, too, making this extremely goodfor characters of all types. Strongly consider maxing it and keeping it up asmuch as you can, if you don't mind the maintenance (which is admittedly asevere annoyance). You can choose to skip it in favor of Battle Rage or Way ofthe Ranger if you're a pure warrior or ranger and have a good weapon withoutmuch magic damage.

----------------| Warrior Skills | ----------------

Whirlwind---------You can perform a whirlwind attack that deals * bonus melee damage with a *%chance of knocking back your enemies.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1| 2| 3| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 ||1.5| 6| 14| 20 |56.5| 83 |103.5|138.5|166 |211 |333.5|378.5|451 |503.5| - || 10| 13| 16| 19 | 22 | 25 | 28 | 31 | 34 | 37 | 40 | 43 | 46 | 49 | - || 11| 15| 20| 24 | 28 | 32 | 35 | 39 | 42 | 46 | 50 | 52 | 56 | 59 | - || 5| 5| 5| 5 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the weapon you are wielding firmly clasped in your hands, you unleash ahurricane of steel by making a full circle jump that tears through any numberof enemies around you. When your feet hit the ground again, only their bloodyremains bear witness to the destruction, while you, the very eye of the storm,remain untouched.

Comments: The damage increase is decent, though not as nice as the cooldown

reduction. One point is nearly mandatory simply for breaking apart crates andbarrels with ease, and if you find yourself using it a lot in combat, considerinvesting at least 11 points for the low cooldown. The knockback is amazingwhen combined with fire wall.

Rush Attack-----------You can rush to your enemy and strike with * times your normal damage and a *%chance of stunning.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 1 |1.2 |1.4 |1.6 |1.8 | 2 |2.2 |2.4 |2.6 |2.8 | 3 |3.2 |3.4 |3.6 | 15 || 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | 75 | 80 | 85 | 90 | 95 | 15 || 4 | 6 | 8 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 15 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

During a rush attack you lash out at a single opponent, which causes severewounds and most likely stuns him. The attack works well as an initial assaulton ranged enemies especially.

Comments: 1 point is essential for melee fighters. The damage increase afterthat is nice, but not very helpful. Points would be better spent on abilitiesthat increase your damage more consistently, instead of for one-time attackson ranged attackers. The stun, while helpful, does not last long enough to beworth considering.

Jump Attack-----------Your jump attacks do * extra damage, and have a *% chance of knockdown.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 9 | 20 | 32 | 45 |130 |185 |252 |332 |422 |667 |805 |954 |1120| - | - || 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those who have this skill in their repertoire - all Dragon Slayers do - canjump and fall to the ground with a great cleave of their weapon. Not only doesit increase the pounding your enemy takes, it has quite a chance of knockinghim off his feet. After that it's just a matter of having the good grace tomake the kill quick and painless. Right?

Comments: Surprisingly powerful, especially if your weapon isn't that great.Unfortunately, it comes with the huge drawback of having to jump before everyattack to get the most out of the swing. Take this skill only if you reallylike jumping. There's a hidden mana cost, too, so make sure to take a point ofmana leech along with it. This also combines particularly well with bleed.

Fatality--------You can instantly kill enemies whose hitpoints are below a total of *%.

Mana Cost: *

Cooldown Time: 5 seconds

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 10 | 13 | 16 | 19 | 22 | 25 | 28 | 31 | 34 | 37 | 40 | 43 | 46 | 49 | - || 14 | 15 | 22 | 27 | 30 | 34 | 36 | 40 | 43 | 47 | 50 | 54 | 56 | 60 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

An instant kill is one of the greatest blows a warrior can learn to deliver,but the road to success is long. An enemy must be seriously wounded beforesuch a blow can be struck when you are still inexperienced in the one-hit-one-kill method. But as you learn, it will take less duelling time for you to finda weak spot that will end the fight in the blink of an eye.

Comments: It can be helpful in the early game when your damage output is low,and helpful in the late game when you encounter more enemy healers and want toclear a space in front of you to rush attack the healer. That being said, it'snot really worth the points unless you have real problems dealing damage. Eventhen, you might consider placing points into increasing that damage instead.By the time this is usable, it most often deals less damage than several otheravailable skills (or even a normal attack, if you spend your points right).With it maxed, you can expect it to deal around 1500-2000 damage to enemies inthe final area, which just isn't any better than other things that workregardless of enemy health.

Defensive Posture-----------------You get a bonus of * for melee armour rating, and * for ranged armour rating,but a *% penalty for melee damage, and a *% penalty for ranged damage. Theeffect lasts for a maximum of * seconds.


------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 4 | 12 | 20 | 28 | 36 ||-20 |-15 |-10 | -5 | 0 || 30 | 60 | 90 |120 |240 || 27 | 39 | 51 | 63 | 75 | ------------------------

A warrior needs to know when to attack with the ferociousness of the tiger andwhen to take a hedgehog-like defensive stance. When in a jam, this skill willprovisionally take away some of your offensive powers, but transfer them toyour defensive energies.

Comments: Even at 5 points, the boost to your defenses is pretty negligible(especially when compared to good armor enchants). Points are better spent onhealing skills since you're probably going to take a beating anyway.

Battle Rage-----------You get a bonus of *% for melee damage, but a penalty of * for melee armourrating. The effect lasts 120 seconds.

Mana Cost: *

Cooldown Time: 30 seconds

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 || -4 |-12 |-20 |-28 |-36 || 27 | 39 | 51 | 63 | 75 | ------------------------

The Battle Rage skill does exactly what it describes: like a mad barbarianwould seize upon a poorly protected convent, you launch yourself into thefray, heeding not the danger it leaves you in. Most likely any clear andpresent danger will soon be eliminated, but do remember that this ragedetracts from your defensive prowess for its duration.

Comments: Since it only requires 5 points to max, this skill is one of themost efficient ways of improving your melee damage. Since it's particularlyrare to take lots of melee damage (usually ranged and magic are moreworrisome) the armour penalty isn't very concerning, and you can always turnthe buff off by pressing the hotkey a second time if you're really taking abeating. If you don't mind the maintenance (which is incredibly irritating),invest points here before considering skills like Bleed and Death Blow.

Life Leech----------A successful melee hit on an enemy has a *% chance of draining *% of thedamage done and adding it to your hitpoints.

----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 || 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 || 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | ----------------------------------------------------------------

With Life Leech, you don't just wound your enemy as you hit him, but alsogradually drain his life energy from his body and perchance add it to your ownwith each hit you score.

Comments: Simply amazing. One of the best healing skills in the game due tothe way it scales with damage. If you're having trouble staying alive, takethis skill. Thanks to rush attack, you should always have something nearby tobeat on to regain hitpoints. It only works on melee attacks, however, so ifyou're not planning to melee, consider Potion Efficiency instead.

Bleed-----A successful melee hit has a *% chance of bleeding your enemy. It lasts for *seconds and deals *% of the damage you did extra.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 10 | 13 | 15 | 18 | 20 | 23 | 25 | 27 | 30 | 32 | 35 | 37 | 40 | 42 | - || 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | - || 10 | 11 | 13 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 25 | 33 | 50 |100 |100 |100 |100 |100 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Particularly vicious, bleed attacks have a chance of causing wounds that keep

bleeding: so damaging the victim over time until the bleeding stops or he hasleaked to death.

Comments: Surprisingly effective at passively increasing your damage output athigher levels. The damage increase is noticeable and scales well with weaponsand skill points. At 10 points, it's one of the best melee damage bonuses youcan get. Points after 10, however, are better spent elsewhere.

Regenerate----------Your health regenerates at a rate of *% per second.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 ||.21 |.25 |.28 |.32 |.35 |.39 |.42 |.46 |.49 |.53 |.56 | .6 |.63 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forgoing the need of healing spells to patch up your wounds over time, theregenerate skill ensures the slow but steady revitalisation of your lifeenergy. This process gains in speed as its practitioner learns to use it moreeffectively.

Comments: Less effective overall than Life Leech. It's not effective enoughto be relied upon as a sole source of healing, but it can increasesurvivability in combination with other healing skills. Only put points hereif you have maxed another healing skill and are still having troublessurviving.

Thousand Strikes----------------You can attack your enemy in a series of fast blows for * times normal damageaccompanied by a *% chance of knockdown.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 1 |1.1 |1.2 |1.3 |1.4 |1.5 |1.6 |1.7 |1.8 |1.9 | 2 |2.1 |2.2 | - | - || 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | - | - ||236 |272 |296 |320 |332 |356 |380 |392 |416 |440 |452 |476 |500 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

With a combination of cat-like speed and accuracy, you strike at youradversary with a series of vicious cuts: leaving him to incredulously stare atthe bodily extensions on the ground before he has had the itme to realisewhere his bane came from. Fast and brutal, it is one of the best melee attacksa warrior can master.

Comments: Does a good bit of damage, useful for overcoming enemy healing ortaking out the leader in a group of enemies. The mana cost is prohibitivelyhigh, however, and the damage does not increase appreciably with more pointsspent. A point can be very helpful early on (if you've got the mana to evenuse it), but it's not really worth pumping many points into. Don't take itwithout also taking at least one point in Mana Leech.

Death Blow----------You have an extra *% chance of doing critical damage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 3 | 4 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 10 | 12 | 13 | 15 | 16 | 18 | 19 | 21 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warriors adept in the Death Blow have spent part of their trainingconcentrating on delivering devastating hits, which may critically hurt anopponent. The more skilful these hits become, the greater their chances are ofscoring blows that will knock their enemies six foot under in no time.

Comments: Unless you have an abnormally high heightened reflexes, bleed is abetter use of skill points. If you're already maxing bleed and you want morepassive damage, this isn't a bad way to go (with an average heightened reflexesat high levels, maxing this skill will increase your damage by around 10%).For rangers, on the other hand, crits are everything, and this is one of thebest skills you can buy.

Reflect-------You reflect *% of the damage done to you back to the enemy that inflicted it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 20 | 28 | 36 | 44 | 52 | 60 | 68 | 76 | 84 | 92 |100 |108 |116 | - | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those who benefit from this advantageous spell can gleefully watch as part ofthe damage an enemy causes is reflected back to him. This way the foes thatoppose the hero may be slain by the force of the arms they themselves apply,in a wonderful example of poetic justice.

Comments: A waste of points. Enemies universally have significantly more hitpoints than you, and this skill only reflects damage taken (after armor andlevel-based reductions), meaning to kill an enemy with this you'd have to letthem kill you several times over. Stay away.

---------------| Ranger Skills | ---------------

Poison Arrows-------------You can fire arrows that poison your enemy, doing * damage per second for *seconds.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 16 | 23 | 33 | 43 | 60 | 98 |143 |161 |239 |265 | - || 10 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 4 | - |

| 4 | 6 | 8 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the more crafty, and at the same time nasty, abilities of the ranger isthe coating of arrow tips in deadly poisons. Not only will the arrows woundtheir targets, they will keep inflicting pain as the venomous substance thatentered their bodies courses ruinously through their veins.

Comments: It's not a bad skill, especially early on, but you'll probably wantto drop it towards the end of the game. It just doesn't seem to pump out thedamage that other available skills do.

Ranger Surprise---------------Shoot an arrow that does no damage but gives your target a * point penalty tomelee armour rating, a * point penalty to ranged armour rating, and a * pointpenalty to magic armour rating.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 ||-30 |-35 |-40 |-45 |-50 |-55 |-60 |-65 |-70 |-75 |-80 |-85 |-90 |-95 | - || -5 |-10 |-15 |-20 |-25 |-30 |-35 |-40 |-45 |-50 |-55 |-60 |-65 |-70 | - || 4 | 6 | 8 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this skill activated, an unfortunate creature you are hunting that hasbeen struck by one of your arrows becomes weakened if you keep giving it yourundivided attention until it stops moving. It's a nasty surprise to be sure,but it will still come as a surprise.

Comments: Waste of points. Its primary purpose is to increase the damage youdeal to an enemy, but enemies don't really seem to have much armor. Points arebetter spent on an ability that more directly increases your damage.

Ranger Strength---------------Your ranged attacks do *% more damage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some rangers spend as much time training their strength as they do theiragility. The result is that every arrow they fire flies with greater speed andpower, naturally inflicting even greater wounds.

Comments: Not great, but must-have if your primary weapon is a bow. Don'texpect to do decent damage without running dry on mana otherwise. Then again,don't expect that anyway if you're a bow user.

Stun Arrows-----------You can stun your enemy for * seconds.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | - || 14 | 18 | 22 | 27 | 30 | 34 | 36 | 40 | 43 | 47 | 50 | 54 | 56 | 60 | - || 20 | 20 | 19 | 19 | 18 | 18 | 17 | 17 | 16 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 15 | 15 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Profiting from a temporary heightened concentration, you are able to shootarrows with such precision and force that they stun any victim: leaving themimmobile for a while. Scoring kills has never been easier.

Comments: The stun is very nice against weaker enemies, but also lessnecessary. Stronger enemies have a high tendency to resist this, reducing itsusefulness significantly. Points are better spent on something to actuallykill the target.

Ranger Stealth--------------When you approach an enemy with your bow, you cna get *% closer to it than younormally would before it notices you.

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 || 14 | 22 | 28 | 34 | 40 | ------------------------

Like a true hunter of the dark, the ranger who is under this subtle spell'sinfluence blends into his surroundings with chameleon-like ease. Even when hescores a hit, the ranger still has a chance that the victim of his arrow hasno idea where the danger comes from - thus leaving him unexposed.

Comments: Two points is enough to make the early game much easier for allcharacter types. It loses its usefulness in the late game, however, even forrangers.

Potion Efficiency-----------------The efficiency of potions is increased by *%.

-------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 || 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | 75 | -------------------------------------------------

Every adventurer has his trusted health, mana, and other magical potionsstuffed safely in his backpack. But not all benefit from them to the maximum.Trained to get the most out of every drop, you are able to squeeze every bitof energy from these treasured bottles.

Comments: If you never plan on setting foot in melee, ever, spend 5 points inthis skill. Your mana bar will thank you, and you'll be able to survivedifficult encounters on the virtue of healing potions alone. There's a reasonthis is a ranger skill.

Splitting Arrows----------------You can fire arrows that split and cause damage to * enemies at the same time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | - || 29 | 35 | 41 | 45 | 49 | 53 | 57 | 61 | 65 | 69 | 73 | 77 | 81 | 85 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The splitting arrow has the magical property that it severs into differentarrows after having been fired, so allowing the bowman to hit multiple targetsat the same time. The more adept he becomes at the craft, the more separateprojectiles the original arrow will split into.

Comments: Its use is situational, and probably not worth the points unless youhave plenty to spend. If you're even considering it, though, that means you'rea ranger and you probably do have points to spend. Invest in it early, beforeyou have access to explosive arrow. Once you get explosive arrow, spend pointson that instead.

Evade-----You have a *% chance of evading melee attacks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | 36 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are highly trained in dodging the melee attacks with which youradversaries try to treat your inner organs to an outdoor holiday. It goeswithout saying that this is a highly useful ability for all who spend muchtime in the thick of battle.

Comments: One point is essential for a melee character, and highly recommendedfor all characters. Further points should be spent on healing skills, butextra points may be placed in here to improve survival.

Explosive Arrows----------------You can fire arrows that explode and deal * damage to enemies within a *-meterradius of impact and have a *% chance of knockdown.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 ||260 |370 |456 |554 |606 |720 |844 |1170|1334|1514|1610|1804|2014| - | - || 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | - | - || 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | - | - || 29 | 34 | 37 | 40 | 41 | 44 | 47 | 49 | 52 | 55 | 56 | 59 | 62 | - | - |

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

The rarest of arrows are perhaps the most powerful ones. Extremely dangerousin the hands of some bowstring-happy pyromaniac - and absolutely frightning inthe hands of a skilled archer - these arrows explode upon impact: not onlyturning the original recipient into a bloody jigsaw puzzle, but also tearingapart anyone caught near the blast.

Comments: The single best skill in the game, your bane in the hands of enemyrangers, and the only reason to play a ranger yourself. The high damage, widearea of effect, knockdown, low mana cost, and low cooldown make for a skillyou will want to press every 5 seconds as long as your mana holds out - evenagainst single targets.

Way of the Ranger-----------------For up to 90 seconds, your bow attacks do *% more damage, you get a * pointranged armour rating and a * point heightened reflexes increase, but a *%penalty for melee attacks and a * point penalty for melee armour rating.


--------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 ||228 | 277 |332 |360 |422 || 50 | 53 | 56 | 59 | 62 ||-114|-138.5|-166|-180|-211||-50 | -47 |-44 |-41 |-38 || 49 | 53 | 57 | 59 | 63 | --------------------------

Thoes born for the bow will get the most out of their specialty by choosingthis skill, which will enhance all the stats that pertain to it.

Comments: Far more effective at increasing ranged damage than Ranger Strength,and it's only 5 points. So effective, in fact, that you practically can't winmany fights with a bow alone unless you have high ranks in this. Take this ifyou use bows.

----------------------| Dragon Slayer Skills | ----------------------

Mindread--------You get a debt discount of *% when reading someone's mind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 0 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 | 70 | 75 |100 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ability to read the minds of others is given to very few in Rivellon.Powerful though this gift may be, you shouldn't shy away from developing theskill - because obviously it takes a little more experience to read thethoughts of, say, the Arcane University's dean than those of Doris, the

lavatory lady.

Comments: 100% discount is very nice, but comes available very late. If you'rereally that concerned about your character level, there are better ways tohandle it than investing in mind read. It's not exactly a waste of points, butthere's no good reason to take it, either. If you must take it, do so afterreaching Orobas Fjords. The early game is hard enough without dumping all yourpoints here, and due to the way exp works, your max level won't be affected atall. In fact, it probably won't be affected much anyway.

Wisdom------You gain *% more experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 || 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 18 | 20 | 22 | 24 | 26 | 28 | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having studied warfare not only as a series of forceful skills, moves andabilities, but also as an art, the insight you gain after every battle isgreater than that of others. You therefore advance more quickly upon theladder of veterancy and success.

Comments: Almost certainly a waste in the early game, with the potential tobecome useful after reaching Orobas Fjords. If your intention is to set it andforget it, stay away from this skill. If you want to min-max your experienceand reach the absolute highest level you can, see the Tips and Tricks sectionon leveling for more information.

Lockpick--------You can lockpick locks of level * (and lower).

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

When you encounter a bolted door, a chest secured tightly by a big padlock,you itch to find out what is behind that door and in that chest. You konw youdo. By adding this skill to your repertoire, your curiosity will soon besatisfied and perhaps your coin purse as well.

Comments: It's of questionable value in the early game, and an utmostnecessity later on. It's best to write down the locations of any locked chestsyou come across and wait to put points in this skill until level 10 or 11.Then, max this skill and go back to clean up everything you missed. As abonus, since random loot scales to your level, the items you find in all thoselocked chests will be better than if you'd maxed this skill from the start. Inthe late game, this skill is required to obtain pieces of 3 out of 4 armorsets in the game, which are good enough in total to outclass all but the bestset of equipment. It's worth taking for those alone.

Encumbrance-----------Your backpack is limited to * items.

------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 ||100 |120 |140 |160 |180 | ------------------------

Adventurers often have the tendency to accumulate loot with greater diligencethan a squirrel that is storing nuts for the winter. It is therefore not a badidea to train your back-pack-stuffing capabilities, because a good packer cancarry around a lot more booty!

Comments: There's no need to save any ingredients aside from malachite gems inthe early game, and pack space is only a problem if you're hoardingingredients. A moderately bad waste of points in the early game, andcriminally useless later on.

Unarmed Expertise-----------------Your damage when fighting unarmed is increased by *%.

----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 || 5 | 15 | 29 | 54 | 67 | 81 | 94 |107 |121 |134 |138 |142 |146 | ----------------------------------------------------------------

Swords, axes, maces: you regard them all as silly extensions for the truest ofmelee weapons: your fists. Rather than presenting them with the taste of steel,you like to treat your opponents to your favourite home-made delicacy: aknuckle sandwich.

Comments: Unarmed is the single worst weapon choice in the game, and evenmaxing this skill won't make up for its downfalls. Take this if you enjoy aserious challenge. Combine it with damage adding skills like whirlwind tooffset its low damage. Bleed and Death Blow may be wise choices as well.

Single-Handed Weapon Expertise------------------------------Your damage when fighting with a single-handed weapon only is increased by *%.

----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 || 2 | 5 | 9 | 12 | 15 | 19 | 22 | 25 | 29 | 34 | 34 | 35 | 36 | ----------------------------------------------------------------

Following in the footsteps of an old battle tradition that believes in theunification of a warrior and his weapon, you opt to specialize in the wieldingof a single one-handed weapon. Brandishing a light and highly manoeuverablepiece of deadly craftsmanship, you learn to ply it to a state of perfectionthat goes beyond other combinations of armament.

Comments: The fast attack speed more than makes up for the lack of damage. Oneof the more viable weapon choices you can make, and certainly good enough tobeat the game with if you like the aesthetics. The skill itself, however, israther lackluster. Your damage will improve more per point by investing in thebleed skill, and then you can always switch to another weapon type if you get

bored. Put points here after bleed is maxed, but before investing in deathblow.

Dual-Wielding Expertise-----------------------When fighting with two weapons, your primary weapon does *% more damage; theoff-hand weapon suffers a penalty of *% damage.

----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 || 1 | 3 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 11 | 13 | 15 | 17 | 19 | 21 | 23 | 25 ||-70 |-60 |-50 |-40 |-30 |-20 |-10 | 0 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | ----------------------------------------------------------------

Not many make such a fierce impression on the battlefield as those who swinga blade in each hand, so engulfing their immediate vicinity in a red wave ofextinction. But even though these fighters may look like frenzied, blood-crazed savages, be not mistaken, for they are quite the opposite: cool-headedand disciplined. With good reason: wielding two weapons in combat demandsintense training, and forgoing it has often led to unintended, self-inflictedfacial reconstruction.

Comments: The best damage improving skill in the game. Dual-wield has slowanimations, but more than makes up for it with sheer power. As a dual-wieldfighter, don't waste your time with damage adding skills like whirlwind andjump attack; focus instead on making each hit stronger with skills like bleed,death blow, and battle rage. Prefer weapons that increase melee or magicdamage, and enchant them with the same, as the bonus seems to apply to swingswith either hand. Until you reach rank 10 in this, place your stronger weaponin your main hand. From rank 10 onward, your stronger weapon should be placedin your off hand.

Sword and Shield Expertise--------------------------When fighting with a weapon and shield, your weapon does *% more damage andyou get *% higher armour rating from your shield.

----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 || 0 | 7 | 14 | 21 | 28 | 35 | 42 | 49 | 56 | 63 | 70 | 77 | 84 || 5 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 26 | 29 | 32 | 34 | 36 | 38 | ----------------------------------------------------------------

Those who engage in battle with sword and shield are sometimes scoffed byothers on the premise that they are archaic and unimaginative. But they nevertake such criticisms to heart because they know very well that their strategy,classical and rather standard though it may be, is still one of the best set-ups a warrior may use: it perfectly combines offence and defence and, like noother, offers excellent chances to emerge from each battle alive and well.

Comments: The next best choice next to dual-wield. The armor of a shield is sonegligible as to be worthless, and since this skill only increases theshield's base armor (not counting charm bonuses or enchants) the latter halfof this skill is near completely useless. The damage increasing component,however, is more than twice as good as its shieldless counterpart, and yourattacks are almost as fast.

Two-Handed Weapon Expertise---------------------------When fighting with a two-handed weapon, you do *% more damage.

----------------------------------------------------------------| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 || 1 | 4 | 7 | 10 | 13 | 16 | 19 | 22 | 25 | 28 | 31 | 34 | 37 | ----------------------------------------------------------------

No matter what some may say, combat isn't pretty or subtle. You intend toprove that by swinging about swords long as a troll's arm and hammers soferocious they can reduce said creature's head to a bloody pulp with one well-placed stroke. The advantages in battle are obvious, and more than that: youcan never get lost in the woods, for you'll always leave a track of limbs thatworks even better than the traditional breadcrumbs.

Comments: Arguably one of the worst weapon choices you can make, although the1.3 patch may make it comparable to or better than dual-wielding. Its hugeswing radius is a big plus, but its wide damage range means some fights willend quickly, while others drag on. It combines well with jump attack andbleed, but may be redundant with high levels of whirlwind (untested on the 1.3patch).

******************************************************************** * * * IV. FARGLOW * * * ********************************************************************

Farglow is the game's tutorial. The whole thing takes place in a small townwith only a handful of NPCs and one quest. The only enemies you'll fight willbe goblins spawned for practice combat. Don't sweat what you do here too much;it really won't matter in the end.

-----------| Locations | -----------

Farglow--------There's a skill book hidden on top of the large rocks north of the goblincamp. Approach from the north side for the easiest access, but you'll stillhave to work at it a bit to get on top of the rocks.

-If you use the skill book in the area to learn lockpick, you can open thetreasure chest next to Alberic. Alternately, you can kill a LOT of goblins.

-There's another treasure hidden on the left (north) side of the building yousee when first crossing the bridge in town. The key for it can be found byreading Edmund's mind, entering the training area, then looking on the stonessurrounding the campfire.

-------------| Main Quests | -------------

The Farglow Connection----------------------Received From: RhodeLocation: As soon as you start the game1: Talk to Morgana (her location is on your map)2: Talk to Isobel (on the bridge in town)3: Talk to either Gawain, Aravir, or Alberic (their locations are on the map)Reward: 50 xp, 200g + 1 (50xp, 200g)

******************************************************************** * * * V. BROKEN VALLEY VILLAGE * * * ********************************************************************

At last, the tutorial is over ... or is it? While you have a lot more freedomin this area, you're still blocked from wandering too far. The enemies areweak enough that you can kill them without using any skills (which is good,since skill points are few and far between still). This is also where the gameteaches you to take the time for exploration. If you rush headlong into themain quest, you'll soon find yourself locked in a room with an enemy quitecapable of killing you in two hits. Exploration is good.

******************************************************************** * * * VI. BROKEN VALLEY * * * ********************************************************************

You're finally allowed to explore to your heart's content, only to find brutalgoblins, wicked skeletons, skilled bandits, and unimaginably powerful blackring every way you turn. You'll soon laugh at how weak these enemies are, butfor now, expect battles to be on the tough side for a little while. If you getfrustrated, try finding an entrance to the Derelict Tunnels (detailed below).There are plentiful goblins and skeletons inside, which are the weakest of thecreatures you're now facing. The cramped quarters may make things difficultfor rangers, but it's easier than bumping up against bandit rangers or blackring. After you've cleared out the tunnels, make your way up Lovis' tower. Bythe time that's done, you should be perfectly capable of handling most thingsin the area.

Because this area is so huge, directions will often reference the giant towerin the center as well as the numerous waypoint shrines scattered around theregion (such as the Village Shrine and the Chapel Shrine that you should havefound in the previous area). Occasionally, there's also the mention of a"mysterious shrine". These look like the place where you met Talana, and canbe seen clearly on the map.

-----------| Locations | -----------

-West of the tower is a mysterious shrine with a white chicken scurryingaround in the middle. Almost straight north of there, against the cliffs, aman named Casper is complaining about having been soul forged with a chicken.While you can't return his chicken to him, you can certainly put a quick endto his worries.

-There is a fortune teller named Sosostra west and slightly south of thetower. After she tells your fortune, a white rabbit will appear justdownstream. Follow it to a treasure chest.

-If you have Sosostra tell you a second fortune, you can encounter a knighton a bridge to the far south. If you agree to duel him, you earn a quite niceone-handed sword for your troubles.

-Four mysterious levers are hidden throughout the region. One is along thecliffs to the east of the Chapel Shrine, another is right next to the TribalShrine, the third is west of Lovis' tower (on the western tip of the islandwith the mysterious shrine on it), and the last is near the south valleyshrine. Flipping all four levers makes a chest appear across the stream fromSosostra (the far western end of the map).

-Seek out Dreavan to the west of Lovis' tower (slightly north of the WestValley Shrine) as early as you can. He can enchant your weapons, armour, andjewelry, but more importantly, each time you open the enchant window, all ofthe formulas in your inventory are removed and added to your list of knownformulas. Anything you can do to free up inventory space at this point is aplus.

-There is a wishing well near Dreaven. You can toss in 10 gold, 100 gold, or1000 gold and wish for either experience or a powerful item. Here's the listof rewards:Item:10g (common bracelet)100g (bracelet with +1 unarmed expertise)1000g (bracelet with +1 wisdom)Experience:10g (500xp)100g (1500xp)1000g (5000xp)

-Four pieces of parchment are hidden around the region. One is south of theTribal Shrine, and another is in a chest at the nearby mysterious shrine.The third is hidden by the bandit camp (east of the Quarry Shrine) and thelast can be found in the southeastern mysterious shrine (east of the SouthValley shrine). Take all four to ZixZax and ask him to translate them. Thisgives you access to the teleporter near the Chapel Shrine and the one betweenLovis' tower and the bridge north of it.

-The first time you find each mysterious shrine, you're attacked by a rhymingmage named Bellegar. After he attacks you four times, you can seek him out atthe same shrine where you met Talana for the fifth and final challenge.

-Across the gap to the south of the mysterious shrine east of Lovis' tower,you encounter a trio sleeping on the ground. Mind reading each of themprovides you with a clue as to what they need, and the option to give it tothem if you have it in your inventory. Furley needs an alcoholic beverage,Namdar needs a health potion of any size, and Nightwinkle needs an apple. Atthe time of this writing, giving any of the three what they need will causethe game controls to become unresponsive; however, there is a workaround. Ifyou quicksave after the controls have stopped working (make a backup save justin case!), then exit the game entirely, and finally re-load your quicksave,everything works as it should again. Do this once for each dreamer and you'llbe rewarded with a rare and useful malachite gem!

Derelict Tunnels [VLDTP]----------------Location: There are three entrances to this area. All are trap doors.-The first entrance is on the ground slightly northwest of the base of Lovis'tower.

-The second is straight north of Lovis' tower, on the west side of the stream.

-The third is right next to the Tribal Shrine.

-Not all of the pressure plates are bad! Some will summon treasure chests orheal you. Don't load if you step on a bad plate, however. The same eventshappen in the same order, regardless of which plate you actually step on. The

first will always be a treasure chest, the second will damage you, and so on.

-There's a treasure chest hidden behind several crates in the room withHallorn.

-There are three hidden talismans: one in the western dead end, one in thesouthern dead end, and one on a goblin chair in the large room before theeastern exit. Collect all three and approach the statue on the western wallnear the southern exit of the central room (next to where you find the dustytome that explains their significance). Go into your inventory and use theTalisman of the West to start a dialogue. Choose to raise the Talisman of theEast next, and finally choose to raise the Talisman of the South. A treasurechest with gold and a +2 wisdom amulet will appear.

Citadel Chambers [VLCCU]----------------Location: the top floor of Lovis' tower-Each alcove has a hidden button on the wall, but the only useful one lies inthe room that's on fire. Pressing the button in that room will unlock the exitdoor and make Lovis' Scrying Stone appear.

Citadel Dungeon [VLCDL]---------------Location: the very bottom of Lovis' tower, accessed by using his scrying stone-Activate both pedestals to drop platforms above the door. Jump on top of theplatforms and press a button on the wall to lower a set of weapons to theground. You may take one weapon before they climb out of reach again.

Dreavan's Storage [VLEDS]-----------------Location: trap door in the shack next to Dreavan-You must mind read Dreavan to gain access-The key to the door is hidden behind a crate just to the right of the lockeddoor.

Robin's Storage [VLHRS]---------------Location: hidden beneath a tree southwest of Lovis' tower-You must mind read Robin to gain access-The key to the chest is sitting on a shelf to the left of the door as youenter.

New Miner's Dig [VLNMD]---------------Location: southwest of Lovis' tower, south of Sosostra-The key for the chest can be found on the body of the last creature you kill.

Naberius' Storage [VLNSD]-----------------Location: accessed via the strange teleporter near the Chapel Shrine

-You must collect four pieces of parchment and take them to ZixZax as detailedabove in order to use the teleporter needed to reach this area.

-The key to the door is hanging from the skeleton in the nearby cage. Savebefore grabbing it, because you will probably die several times.

-There is a skill book sitting on the chair.

Bandit Camp [VLTBC]-----------Location: on the eastern edge of the map, a ways south of the Tribal Shrine

-If you take a weapon off of the table surrounded by four bandits, they willconfront you. If you elect to keep it instead of putting it back, you can killthem all and nobody cares.

-The first room inside the temple is filled with poison. To avoid it, followthe line of bodies and blood. You will still take damage when jumping over thewater, however.

-The key to the door blocking the expensive looking chest can only be gottenby mind reading Ragnar beforehand and then finding it on the dragon statue'sleft horn (to your right as you climb the ladder).

-There are two chests in the fiery area, both on the right (one near thebeginning, the other at the end). You can get them by using high level healthpotions and simply running through, but the items they contain are usually notworth the effort. Simply walk down the river instead to avoid damage.

Maxos' Temple [VLMTD]-------------Location: enclosed area to the northwest of the map

-There are three crystals hidden outside Maxos' Temple. One is hidden in somerocks behind the way shrine, another is hidden behind a tree in the NE corner,and the last is hidden behind a rock in the NW corner. Take all three to thedragon statue by ZixZax and insert them into the mouths of the statues thereto make a treasure chest appear.

-To open the first door, use the urn on the right side.

-There are three trials you must pass in the chamber with the way shrine.

-In the room filled with gold, ignore everything and pick up the pumpkin onthe left.

-In the tall room with many platforms, start your ascent with the platform inthe southeast corner. While jumping, keep in mind this tip: your characteralways moves forwards in mid-air, so turn the camera towards walls to avoidjumping too far, or back the way you came if you accidentally overshot. If youneed further help getting to the top of the room, see the step by stepdirections below.1: Climb the ladder, then leap to the next platform and flip the lever.2: Wait for the moving platform to draw close, then jump on it.3: From there, jump onto the platform that the current one is moving towards.4: Turn right and jump across the room to another platform.5: Flip the lever to activate a teleporter near the ground.6: Jump down and enter the teleporter.7: Find the three levers nearby and face out towards the rest of the room.8: Flip the left lever twice, the middle lever once, and the right lever once.(each lever affects the height of another platform - the goal is to create astairway up to the far end of the room).9: Hop across the platforms to another lever and flip it. Good kitty.

-In the mirror room, it helps to break as many crates, urns, and barrels asyou can to strip away the amount of detail in the room. When you're tired ofsearching and just want to proceed, activate the cup on the corner betweenthe north and east alcoves.

-After clearing all three trials, step on the teleporter in the centralchamber to continue.

-First enter the room on the left (southeast of the four rooms on your map,and the nearest one with the intensely obvious "secret" passage shown on themap). Press the pressure plate on the eastern wall in front of where your mapshows the "secret" passage to open a "secret" room. Wow! What a well hiddenroom! Flip the lever inside.

-Head to the northwest of the four rooms and repeat the process with thewestern wall, flipping a second lever to gain access to the exit.

-There does not seem to be any key to unlock the half-buried chest on thenorthern wall.

-There is a key hidden on top of the chandelier in the center of the roomafter the maze (hanging above the pedestal). One reader reported that itunlocks the half-buried chest above, but I have not been able to duplicatethis (nor have I been able to find a chest which this key unlocks).

-You cannot read the book downstairs in the library until you mind read TheLibrarian.

-The key to the chest in the southernmost room is hidden behind a false wallin Amdusias' room. Use the book 'Dragon Lore' to reveal the hidden passage.

-The key to the chest in Benedict's room can be found lying in the open in thesame room.

******************************************************************** * * * VII. SENTINEL ISLAND * * * ********************************************************************

Along with a new area comes the customary bump in difficulty. Thankfully, thedragon elves aren't that hard and they're plentiful enough to give you a quickcouple of levels, where they become downright easy. Sentinel Island isn't verylong, but the experience rewards are fantastic. If you haven't been levelinglockpicking yet, now might be a good time to start. You can have it maxed outbefore you finish the island, allowing you to claim all the lost loot you leftbehind in Broken Valley. If you've been pumping your wisdom and mind readskills, you might want to focus on combat skills now instead. The battle atthe end of this area can be quite difficult if you're unprepared. Use thedifficulty of the bandits leading up to the tower to gauge whether you'regoing to be capable of lasting through a difficult fight.

-----------| Locations | -----------

-There's a secret cave hidden beneath the windy peninsula with the unmarkedtombstone. Dive off the side into the water and swim into a hole under theisland to find it. When you're ready to leave, you can get back onto theisland by swimming towards Vacca's cave.

-If you jump off the wyvern's nest at the right angle, you can land on araised ridge that's difficult to get onto via other means. Follow the ridgearound to find a couple abandoned camps and three treasure chests. There'salso a lootable corpse next to a ladder on top of the door you came out ofwhen first arriving on the island.

-There's another wyvern nest on an island to the southwest. The nest on thevery top contains a treasure chest.

able to access the mine currently guarded by level 27 black ring soldiers.

******************************************************************** * * * VIII. OROBAS FJORDS * * * ********************************************************************

Believe it or not, this is the final section of the game, though the sheerlevel of the more powerful enemies you can now find will prevent you fromfinishing too quickly, even if you decide to rush. Breaking into the Fjordscan be difficult, since there are precious few level 18 enemies for you tolevel up off of. You can gain a very small amount of extra exp by swimming tothe beach in the south and killing a handful of black ring there, but at somepoint you're going to have to start laying waste to the level 21+ groups of

imps, which usually include a healer and several shamans. If they're tootroublesome for you, abuse your runners to make infinite potions and simplylay waste to them while chain chugging the biggest healing potions you canmake. Before exploring the Primordial Cave that Talana won't shut up about, orthe nearby Old Cave, try clearing out the Depleted Ore Mine on the northernside of the channel to the east. Once that's done, take down the barrier atCamp Eagle's Nest and follow the path past the mine all the way to High Halland the Champion Harbour, fighting groups of imps the entire way. By the timeyou finish, level 24 skeletons won't seem so scary anymore.

Unlike Broken Valley, Orobas Fjords doesn't have an abundance of waypointshrines. Instead, it has a series of linked teleporters placed on high cliffs,each labeled 'Camp' something. Mark them on your map wherever you find them,since they make the most reliable reference point for giving directions tomany locations. A complete list of teleporters can be found below, along withwhere each can eventually teleport to.

Battle Tower [OLDBT]------------Location: you start there, and can warp back with your dragon stone-There are four dragon skill books near each of your four servants, and fourskill points to be gained by reading your servants' minds.

-You can find a fifth dragon skill book in the master's quarters, and a fifthskill point by reading the mind of Sassan nearby.

-A sequence of treasure chests can be opened starting by finding the first keyin the alchemy garden, next to the dragon skill book. Use that key to open thechest on the necromancy ring, which contains another key. From there, open thechest in the skill training area, then the workshop, and finally in themaster's quarters (down the elevator from the throne room).

-Directly south of your battle tower, just off the map, lies a tiny islandwith a (locked, but pickable) treasure chest.

Orobas Fjords [OLOFO]-------------Location: everywhere; these are general tips about the outdoor areas-There are two women arguing about a ring on the beach across from where youenter. The dialogue don't have an effect on anything (except perhaps to add aparticularly lackluster ring to your inventory).

-Just south of the two women, a treasure chest hides near a waterfall.

-There is a key on the beach far south of where you entered, guarded by level19 black ring. It's directly below Camp Eagle's Nest (a guard inside will tellyou about it after you read his mind, but you don't need to in order to findthe key).

-To get past the barrier shield, you must travel to Camp Eagle's Nest bytaking the Camp Sentinel View teleporter (located on the cliffs on the westside of the elongated island situated in the middle of the channel).

-Down the path from the mine, you will encounter two soldiers: Webster andJulian. You can choose to solve their dispute for 2500 exp, or antagonize andkill them for a likely similar level of exp and a small bit of loot.

-Slightly further down the path, you will encounter Carleton, a travelingmerchant. He sells a malachite gem, but he can bug out if you enter his shopthrough dialogue instead of hitting the trade button. Hit 'Trade' to ensureyou can buy, and peruse his heroic quality equipment for upgrades while you'reat it.

-You encounter a barrier after flying south from the Champion Harbour. Todisable it, find and destroy the four goblin ballistas surrounded by a brightblue electricity effect. A few moments of fire breath should be enough to takeeach one out.

-The next barrier is powered by another four electrified ballistas and anelectrified nest tower. You can either drop the shield surrounding the nesttower by killing Dolgan or you can use fire spheres to take the nest towerout. Dolgan has to die either way, so you might as well just kill him.

-If you search the cliffs at the bend in the river before the entrance toRivertown Gorge, you will find the Gremory family chest hidden in theuppermost of the two holes. If you haven't read the minds of all three Gremoryfamily members yet, though, don't bother.

Primordial Cave [OLPWC]---------------Location: behind the waterfall to the north

-There's a chicken rune in the chamber to the far south. It's for a side questin High Hall. More importantly, a dragon skill book hides in the same room.

-You must finish the quest 'Reaping the Seeds' to get past the three statueson the second floor.

-After the statues, you're confronted by a maze filled with a multitude ofrather deadly fireballs. You can find a lever handle (needed at the maze'sexit to the northeast) in the far northwest of the maze. There's also a dragonskill book along the eastern wall, next to a treasure chest.

-The map obviously shows a hidden passage to the west, but how exactly you canaccess it is unknown.

-There's a key hidden on a shelf straight south of the locked chest it opens.

-There are two malachite veins just south of the Grand Chamber (where you talkwith the Patriarch). The first is on the eastern wall in plain sight. Thesecond is hidden behind a large rock next to an empty wagon near the westernwall. Make sure to save far enough away from the veins so that you can reloadif you don't get any malachite gems.

Old Cave [OLBOC]--------Location: up the waterfall to the east, by the end of the stream-When there's room, you can transform into a dragon inside the cave.

-The nest tower is invulnerable at first. To damage it, you must first flipthe lever at the end of the dungeon accessed through the middle-heightteleporter on the southeast side of the main room.

-There is a locked treasure chest in the same room as the generator, but thekey is located through the portal further down, referenced below.

-Accessing Barnabus requires taking the teleporter on the northeast side ofthe bottom of the room. Inside, you must navigate a platform maze to disable agenerator. See below for step-by-step directions.1: leap across a series of falling platforms2: climb the ladder3: use the moving platform to access a lever that activates a teleporter4: Drop down and take the teleporter5: navigate several more moving platforms, then climb another ladder6: time your next jump carefully - the next platform also sinks7: jump from the sinking platform to another moving platform8: jump up to another teleporter and step inside9: hop down a series of platforms in the corners of the room10: flip the lever11: wait for a moving platform to emerge from by the door, then jump againstthe wall and fall onto it. Good kitty.

-There is also a key hidden in this area. At the T intersection, carefullyinspect the fiery grate to find it. It unlocks the treasure chest in the othergenerator room.

-The third and final teleporter in the main room (very high up, on the southside of the room, next to a dragon skeleton) leads to a dungeon where you'llfind the Book of the Dead for Igor's quest.

-The key to the chest near the Book of the Dead is in a broken coffin one roomprior. The chest contains a skill book.

-There's a dragon skill book sitting in the open on Barnabus' platform.

Camp Eagle's Nest [OLCEN]-----------------Location: on a cliff far south of the Grand Knight Shrine-The lever that disables the barrier is upstairs (along with two others thatdisable various anti-dragon zones).

-When you go upstairs, you find two black ring that surrender to you - one ofthem sells quite a large amount of heroic quality items, which update everytime you gain a level. Killing him would deprive you one of the few shops leftat this point in the game, and one with quite a good selection of items.

-You can free the champion in the jail on the first floor if you found thekey from the beach below. She will reward you with a key that opens the chestupstairs.

Depleted Ore Mine [OLDOM]-----------------Location: along the beach on the north side of the eastern channel

-There's a platform puzzle in the southwest corner. If you need helpnavigating it, see the step-by-step instructions below.1: start from the platform nearest the button2: jump on the platforms in order, jumping back across to the first platformafter reaching the third3: The platforms rise with each successive jump, enabling you to slowly climb.-Sometimes a platform bugs out and fails to raise up appropriately. If thishappens, just jump to the previous platform and back again and it should correctitself.4: The last jump will take you back to the first platform, but you must jumpfrom the far left side or else you'll hit the above platform and fall all theway down.-If you fall, just press the glowing button to start again.5: flip the lever to create two more platforms-These platforms will disappear if you take too long.6: jump towards the first platform from the very edge-If you jump from too far back, you hit the platform above and fall.7: jump to the top platform and press the button8: Quickly drop down and open the treasure chest for your prize. Good kitty.

-Beware the level 27 beholder mage on the second floor. It's much higher levelthan anything else in the dungeon.

-On the third floor there are three pedestals holding a red book, a blue book,and a dark book. Each pedestal is marked by a certain number of candles: thered book sits next to five lit candles, the blue book next to three candles,and the dark book by one candle. Place each books on the pedestal on thesecond floor with the same numbers of candles to make a treasure chest appear.

-Save before approaching the malachite vein near the books mentioned above,and reload if it doesn't have any malachite gems for you.

Dark Cave [OLBDC]---------Location: between Camp Eagle's Nest and Camp David

-The key on the ground next to the priest's corpse doesn't seem to openanything.

-Sura, in the first group of bandits you kill, drops a key that can be used toopen the door to the east.

-There is a chest on top of the western tower that contains a key required toopen the chest on top of the eastern tower.

-If you can't reach the chest on top of the eastern tower, abuse your dragontransformation to simply drop right on top of it.

Mysterious Cave [OLBMC]---------------Location: south of the path leading to High Hall, just as it turns northeast

-In this cave, you make a series of good or evil choices. If you choose eitherall good or all evil choices, you're rewarded with your choice of a bow, twohanded sword, or hammer. The weapons are good, but it's easy to find better.If you don't choose all good or all evil, you wind up with a random legendaryitem. Regardless of what you pick, you end up at Camp Overlook afterwards.

-Choice 1: Oppose the bandit for good, or side with him for evil (and earn abag of loot)

-Choice 2a: Give Peppin a stat point for good, or don't for evil

-Choice 2b: Use the key to free the lady for good, or use it to help yourselfto some treasure for evil

-Choice 3a: Transfer one vitality and spirit for good, or don't for evil

-Choice 3b: Kill the man for good, or suggest a way to torture him for evil

-Choice 3c: Flip the 'life' lever for good or the 'death' lever for evil

-The monsters in this cave have a high chance to drop a random legendary item.It's not as reliable as a quest reward, but it's a nice bonus.

Champion Harbour [OLACH]----------------Location: it's the massive harbour to the northeast

-The giant platform with the zeppelin ramp on it is actually the roof of ahuge building. To go inside, look for the door next to the elevator on thebottom floor.

-There is a stat book sitting on a table inside the shack where Aurelius sits.

-There's a dragon skill book on the wooden platform next to the lava pit.

-The key to the chest next to the lava pit is hanging from a cage over thelava. You can reach it by jumping onto the pillar. It's easiest to jump therestraight from the wooden platform, but it'll still probably take a coupletries, and each miss will likely result in your death.

-You must kill the Troll Runekeeper to acquire the Magical Runes you need todisable the barriers. You can't disable the nearby barrier from the side theRunekeeper is on, so start by disabling the barrier to the southwest.

-There's a skill book on a table in the southeast corner of Mundus' room.

-----------| Locations | -----------

Stone's Flying Fortress [FLSTF]

-----------------------Location: on the northeastern end of the island in the eastern channel

-You must destroy generators to remove the anti-dragon barriers around thefortress.

-The first generator is towards the south, straight forward (northeast) fromthe entrance.

-The second generator can only be reached by traveling through a small dungeonaccessed by the teleporter on the northwest end of the fortress. A necromancerand his creature stand in the way of the generator on the other side.

-The final generator is just north of the second, but reaching it is somewhatless straightforward. The safest way is to land near the northwesternteleporter, then jump off the eastern end of the island and fall onto theisland with the generator.

-The teleporter to the east of the fortress leads to Stone's Greenery.

-Inside Stone's Greenery, you find several herb buds in a treasure chest and,downstairs from there, a small fountain next to some research notes. You canplace any two buds in the fountain and earn a different reward depending onwhich two buds were chosen. The order of the buds does not matter (the samereward results regardless), although you will receive one herb of whicheverbud you placed in first, in addition to other rewards. The rewards includeweaponry (which is quite good quality, but there are better), exp, statpoints, or a skill point. Unfortunately, even though you have buds left over,the fountain stops working after you place your first two. The exact list of rewards is as follows (OT = Oak Tears, BR = Black Rose, MS = Moon Shine,FB = Fanny Blossom, HB = Holy Basil):OT+BW: BowOT+MS: NothingOT+FB: 1k ExpOT+HB: 5 stat pointsBR+MS: 1 skill pointBR+FB: a broom (cannot be looted)BR+HB: AxeMS+FB: SwordMS+HB: Hammer

2: The cuirass is slightly northeast of the last (northernmost) generator.

3: The gauntlets are just a couple tents south of the cuirass.

4: The earrings are on the same platform as the gauntlets and cuirass, at itssoutheastern end.

5: The belt is on the same platform as the gauntlets, cuirass, and earrings,but one level up. It's just south of the ramp leading up to the top level.

6: The leggings are on the same platform as the last several pieces, but at

the very top, on the northwest side.

7: The helmet is hidden on a tiny platform south of Stone's Greenery.

8: The necklace is on the east side of a small platform overlooking Stone'sGreenery from the north.

9: The bracelet is on the northeastern side of the lower tier of the largeplatform beneath Stone's Greenery.

10: The warhammer is northwest of the entrance, two levels up.

Raze's Flying Fortress [FLRAF]----------------------Location: southwest of Champion Harbour, almost inside the anti-dragon zone

-You must destroy three generators to take down the anti-dragon zone.

-The first two can be reached as a dragon (one to the southeast and one to thewest).

-The last generator is inside the anti-dragon zone, on an island to thenortheast that's partially inside and partially outside of the zone. You mustland on this island and destroy the generator as a human.

-The ten piece Hunter's set is hidden in treasure chests around the fortress.

1: The belt is to the far south, on the lowest platform; straight out from theentrance.

2: The ring is on the southeastern island, north and a bit east of the belt.

3: The cuirass is on the southwestern island, north and a bit west of thebelt.

4: The gauntlets are on the southeasternmost of the trio of mid-level islandsto the west, near the crashed zeppelin.

5: The leggings are on the island just south of the crashed zeppelin (justwest of the gauntlets).

6: The bracelet is on the northernmost of the trio of mid-level islands to theeast.

7: The bow is hidden on a small island to the northeast, slightly below and tothe east of a larger island.

8: The helmet is on the lower level of the large island to the northwest,right next to the earrings.

9: The earrings are on the lower level of the large island to the northwest,right next to the helmet.

10: The necklace is on the southwest side of the second highest level of thehuge island to the north.

-The locked door inside the fortress headquarters can be opened with the key

in the room to the northeast.

-In order to kill Raze, you must flip the levers in the northeast andsoutheast corners of his room. He sometimes likes to flip them back, though,forcing you to flip them again.

-Raze drops a dragon skill book, a cuirass needed for Wesson's second quest,and Ulthring's Leggings (if you read his mind).

Kali's Flying Fortress [FLKAF]----------------------Location: inside Rivertown Gorge

-The anti-dragon zone on the southern islands can be disabled by destroyingthe 17 generators on the northern islands.

-There are five generators on the very highest ring of outer islands (one oneach island except the northern one).

-Six generators sit on the large outer islands (one on each).

-The middle island has three generators near its center.

-The last three generators are hidden on small islands that lurk beneath thelarger outer islands (one to the north, one to the southwest, and one to thesoutheast).

-The ten piece Scorpion set is hidden in treasure chests around the fortress.The first six pieces are on the northern islands, and the last four are on thelarge southern island.1: The necklace is on the northernmost isle in the top ring.2: The leggings are on the large northern island.3: The sword is on the large southeastern island.4: The ring is on the large southern island.5: The bracelet is on the large southwestern island.6: The gauntlets are on the large western island.7: The belt is on the mid-level southern platform.8: The earrings are on the mid-level eastern platform.9: The helmet is on the mid-level northern platform.10: The cuirass is on the western side of the top level platform.

-The key to Kali's room in the west is in a treasure chest down a hallway tothe east.

Keara's Flying Fortress [FLKEF]-----------------------Location: south of Champion Harbour

-You must destroy six things to disable the anti-dragon zone.-Three of them are three lightning towers (west, southwest, and southeast).-Two are wizard towers (northwest and east).

-The last is a nest tower to the northeas). Be careful when attacking it: it'sactually inside the anti-dragon zone.

-There is a locked chest to the west, on one of the lower levels, but the keyis nowhere to be found.

-The inside of the fortress is a maze. Reading Keara's mind provides the vitalhint you need to solve it yourself.

-The teleporters all lead to the same teleporter near the exit. The teleporternear the exit leads back to wherever you came from (or to itself, if you'venot used any teleporters yet).

-You can melt the ice wall by pressing a button on the wall in the nearbyhallway. Pressing it again will turn off the flame, allowing you to passunharmed.

-There's one statue near the entrance (1), two statues in the room to thenorthwest - one in the northwest corner (2), and one in the northeast corner(3) - and two statues in the room to the southwest - one on the south wall (4)and one on the west wall (5).

-Statue 1's hints: Mayhem is not in the same room as Havoc. Devastation is inthe same room as Chaos.

-Statue 2's hints: I am either Devastation or Chaos. Waste is in the same roomas Mayhem.

-Statue 3's hints: Mayhem is alone in his room. Havoc is in this room.

-Statue 4's hints: I am neither Chaos, nor Havoc. Chaos is neither in my room,nor in Waste's.

-Statue 5's hints: I am in the same room as Waste. I am neither Mayhem, norWaste.

-1 is Devastation, 2 is Waste, 3 is Chaos, 4 is Havoc, and 5 is Mayhem.

-After identifying the statues, speak with the door at the exit to proceed toKeara.

-Keara drops a dragon skill book.

Broken Valley [FLBVF]-------------Location: Broken Valley

-To disable the anti-dragon zone around the mine, you'll need to find agenerator just west of the mine and flip a nearby lever in human form.

-Another lever can be found just southeast of Lord Lovis' tower.

-The next zone to disable requires you to land in the area only accessibleafter flipping the prior lever (west of Lord Lovis' tower, just north of thestill active zone). Find and use a teleporter after you land, then locate andflip the lever at the top of the new area to disable all but one remaining

anti-dragon zone.

-Next, disable the barrier by landing on a platform on the west side of Maxos'temple and flipping the lever there. Geshniz's Headquarters can be accessedvia the teleporter on this platform.

-The last anti-dragon zone can be disabled by flipping a lever not too farwest of the zone itself (like the others, it's found inside of a thick-walledfort easily visible on the map).

-Doctor Needleman is sitting on top of Lovis' Tower. You can mind read him togain his storage password. Find his storage south of the tower, right next tothe portal to Stone's Flying Fortress. The key to the door inside is hiddenbeneath a few barrels to the right of the door. Unfortunately, the loot youfind isn't really worth the mind reading cost.

-You find a potion of wisdom on Geshniz's corpse. You can drink it to gain 5int, but if you've chosen Allan as your alchemist, doing so will prevent youfrom upgrading your alchemy garden a second time.

-The key to the chest on the middle floor of the mine office is sitting on theleft side of a desk on the top floor.

Broken Valley Mine [FLBVM]------------------Location: southeast side of Broken Valley

-The key to the northern section can be acquired by killing Amon in theeastern side of the mine.

-The key to the locked door to the easternmost room is on the ground nearby.

-The lever handle used to activate the broken lever in the easternmost room isfound in a chest up against the cave-in to the far south.

-A hidden button conceals a secret room at the end of the western branch offthe southern path. Facing south from the far end of the room, the button ishidden behind the curtains to the left.

-Inside the secret room, another button is hidden behind some crates on theleft. If you press it, however, you trap yourself in the room. Instead, trytrapping yourself in the room intentionally by pressing again the same switchyou used to open the room in the first place (if you're having problemsfinding a good place to stand, try standing on the table). Once you'retrapped, press the button inside the room to both untrap yourself and openanother secret room with more treasure.

-Ba'al drops two Unique quality items when you kill him. These are the bestitems you can get, so you may wish to make sure they're useful to you bysaving before Ba'al dies and reloading if you don't get anything useful.

Hall of Echoes [FLHOE]--------------Location: by the time you can enter, it's marked on your map-Kill all the Nest Dais to drop the barrier-Fly into the giant orb to proceed to the next area

-You must defeat seven sets of opponents in the arena to proceed. They droplegendary, unique, and epic quality items, but the level of the items isextremely random (level 2 items can and do sometimes drop), and you cannot goback to get them enchanted. It's extremely unlikely for any of them to bebetter than what you have at this point, so don't waste your time trying for agood drop.

-After defeating the last opponent, step through the teleporter to the east toproceed.

-Fly through another giant orb to reach the final area.

-Regardless of how you proceed through the dialogue, the final battle begins.Good luck!

******************************************************************** * * * XI. MIND READING * * * ********************************************************************

You can read the minds of almost every NPC in the game. The cost will hint toyou the usefulness of the mind read - if it's really expensive, it probablydoes something nice. If it's really cheap, it's probably just text. Some mindreads that look like they're only text actually have an effect. If an NPCmentions an item, for example, chances are you cannot find that item withoutfirst reading the NPC's mind. When Tim from The Black Boar thinks about thepurse of gold he hid next to the chapel, you can't just load your game and gofind the gold. It won't even be there until you read Tim's mind.

Sometimes, you can read the same character's mind multiple times. Depending onwhen and where you encounter them, the mind read option may be different.Lastly, contrary to the game's description of the skill, you can read everycharacter's mind regardless of skill level. The skill only reduces the cost.

(Note: I'm aware the costs of the first several mind reads are not listed.This will be fixed in a later version).

--------------| Instructions | --------------

This section requires a little more explanation than the others. I've dividedmind reads in each area into four categories: recommended, questionable, notrecommended, and text only. Mind reads in the first three categories all haveeffects of differing usefulness (or uselessness, as the case often is), whilethe latter category is exactly as it sounds.

Recommended: Usually grants stat bonuses, access to multiple treasure chestsor skill books, or otherwise justifies its cost. Write these down and crossthem off as you find them (note: some are mutually exclusive).

Questionable: These tend to grant single items that may or may not be usefulto your character. If you're on the fence, save before trying it out, then seeif the item is an upgrade for you. Sometimes questionable mind reads grantdiscounts that you might find useful, but not always. If you have ranks inmind read, these are probably worth the cost. If you don't, or if you'vecleared out most of an area and the exp debt is quite steep, then don'tbother.

- Pumpkin on a table in Alzbetas Emporium, is Ashraf.

- Apple on a table on the second floor in Cosy Dwelling is Thomas.

If you accidentally eat one of them, check the book by the barrier. The number combination is 1, 6, and then 8.

Unlock the doors and pull the levers. Go through the door where barrier has disappeared. Confront Ursula.

If you let Ursula go she gives you a sword.

If you decide to fight her you will be transported to an island. Kill everything you can, then walk onto the broken bridge and walk off on the East side. Keep going down, pull the lever, and use the teleport. Use the teleports if Ursula isnt near you and kill her. Open the chest and take the Vegetable Spell. Take the portal back to the library.

After Ursula is defeated or let go, Thaddeus enters the library. Ask him about Rhode. He will then tell you about the Wizard Wars and some about how to find Behrlihn. If you have the Vegetable Spell, examine it.
