<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<()>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

First, let me welcome you to G2:NotR. NotR has been described by officials as being more of an "add-in" than an "add-on", in the aspect that it "adds in" anextra world with new quests, monsters, features, and characters, all in theoriginal game lineology, without having much effect on the main/original storyline of the game. Unlike an add-on, which would take place after the events ofthe original (where you could use your saved character and continue), NotRrequires that you start fresh, but it's well worth it.

NotR is *hard*. I reccomend it only for seasoned Gothic players who really knowtheir ins and outs of the series. Not only is the monster difficulty and monst-er quantity increased, but character development is now also much more difficu-lt. On the plus side, however, NotR gives increased opportunities for experien-ce and free skills, so it all balances out.

Because of Gothic's free-roam nature, it is nearly impossible to write a stepby step walkthrough and cover everything that needs to be covered. Instead, Iwill outline areas by characters, quests, trainers, points, etc, and you canlook up what specific part you need assistance on. There will also be "QuickGuides" which will be brief in detail for more broad tasks, particularly themain plot-line to explain in more direct 'step-by-step' terms how to do certainkey things.

In this guide, I will not cover the entirety of Gothic 2 - that is handledquite extraordinarily well by Ellusion. This guide will cover all the statisti-cs and features that are new to NotR, and will feature a walkthrough for thenew "add-in" plot line added in the expansion. In this guide, I'm assuming

you've played the original, so I won't get into basics for explanations, expos-ition, the main quest, etc.

This Guide is open-ended, similar to how the game itself plays. Thus, it won'tget into how to build your character or tell you how to play. It is merely aguideline for completing the game. I'm also not going into detail on loot andother such things, because I feel the biggest thrill of the game is your perso-nal exploration of the game, always finding new things. It's better for you tofind things yourself. Not to mention there's a crap-load of stuff to find, andI'm too lazy to write it all out.

- Version History:1.0 - The first version. There are still some things that I need to double-check on another playthrough, but I believe this contains close to everything, relatively accurate. If you notice anything

that's incorrect or know any extra information, feel free to e-mail me the information, N3Burgener@gmail.com.

=============================================================================== [G.1] Changes to G2 in NotR===============================================================================

- New dialogue with Xardas at the begining and a new FMV explaining the new content of NotR.- Stat-upgrading costs more per point as they increase (1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1).- 1H and 2H weapon efficiency are no longer learned simultaneously. However, it still costs double to train past "Fighter" and triple to train past "Master".- STR/DEX/MANA elixers are not as effective -- they add 3 to your stats, mana elixirs adding 5 to your mana. - STR/DEX amulets now give +10 instead of +15.- Belt accessories have been added that can add +5 or +10 to STR/DEX or add extra defense to certain things (double defense if belts are matched with the appropriate armor, ie militia belt with militia armor).- Jewelry sets have been added which give added bonuses for wearing both rings and the amulet in the set.- Shrines of Innos give +1 to attributes. - Shrines of Beliar have been added, which give gold for permanent donations of stat points (HP and MP).- New weapons have been added, including some with malus to your weapon skills.- Pyrokar mentions the threats in the NE when undergoing the Test of Fire.- Countless new NPC's added to Khorinis for involvement with the Water Mages and the Missing People / Bandits' Weapons Dealer quests.- A new sub-region added to the 'pyramid' area in the NE indicated by the red X on the 'Very Old Map' (the Water Mages' digging site).- New teleporter stones can teleport you one-way from place to place at your will; three total in Khorinis.

- Stone Tablets can be found, which when read (if you've learned the language of the builders) increase your stats permanently.- Dragons regenerate HP.- New ways into Khorinis City.- New monsters were added.- Monsters are stronger and tougher.- New Armors including Bandit and Pirate varieties.- Access to wearable 'Citizens Clothing'.- New ways to join the three guilds.- Weapons now do more damage, but also require more STR/DEX. - Armor is stronger -- Heavy Dragon Hunter's and Heavy Paladin's armor are even in defense.- The return of 'Acrobatics' from G1.- New Spells added: Ice Lance, Dust Devil, Geyser, Storm, Waterfist, Root Snare, Steal Energy, Beliar's Wrath, Create Guardian, Insect Swarm, Create Zombie, Cry of the Dead.- Black Ore added, which slows down time to make more precise combat actions.- New Potions: Pure Mana and Pure Life Energy.- Probably some other stuff.

=============================================================================== [G.2] Tips/FAQs===============================================================================Here are some general strategies that should make your gaming experienceeasier and more enjoyable, as well as make certain things clear right at thebegining. With the changes made to G2 in NotR, things are a lot harder, andit is quite easy to make things much more difficult.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [G.2.1] - General Tips-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Specialize in one type of combat and stat-point for the first few chapters. If you spread yourself out too thin, you'll find that you're inefficient with most combat-related situations and will easily get destroyed. Play with some weapons and decide whether you want to go 1H or 2H, and then stick to that. You can wait until a bit later on to learn ranged combat and such, once you're adequate at fighting with your sword.

- For easy money early on, get into the Thieves' Guild building and pray at the Shrine of Beliar in the rat-infested room, donating HP for 500g a day. You come by tons of Stone Tablets and such that will make your HP way higher than it normally would be, so investing some of that early on in hard cash isn't a bad idea.

- Start out with 1H sword skills and DEX, join the Thieves' Guild, learn how to pick locks and pick-pockets, and get to work. Increase your DEX so that you can be more efficient at the above, which will get you tons of free EXP and money early on, even just in Khorinis. Then, once you have 2400 gold, you can buy the Master Sword from Martin, which does 120 damage (with a 60 DEX requirement) and +10% skill to your 1H. This can all be done fairly early so that you've got one of the strongest weapons in the game almost at the start.

- Wait to use auxiliary means for increasing your stats (ie Stone Tablets, potions, praying at Shrines of Innos, eating apples, mushrooms, etc) until after you've used your LP's to the point where it costs 5 LP for 1 stat. In this manner you get more bang for your buck -- use the LP while they're cheap, and you'll see better results in the end.

- Fighting stronger mobs earlier on isn't necesarily beneficial. In the amount of time it takes you to kill the mob you could have earned more exp killing easier mobs and exploring more. Not to mention, you'd be wasting a lot of money on arrows (as I know 80% of the tricks to killing mobs before you would normally be able to involves using a bow/crossbow). Stick to the stuff that you can handle, and only dedicate the amount of time and effort for the harder mobs if they're in the way of something you want or need, otherwise leave them be until you're stronger -- when they become the equivilant of a bloodfly (early in the game) for exp and abundancy proportions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [G.2.2] - Fighting Monsters-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dragon Snapper:

It's best to pull them away from the group so that you only fight oneat a time. Simply walk close enough so that one will detect you andbegin walking towards you. Back away. Once you've gotten it far enoughaway from the group, stand still and wait until it charges at you.

Onceit begins running at you, take a step back -- it will bite at you, butwill come up short. Proceed to attack, getting in as many combos aspossible before it backs away, being sure to keep your distance. Itwill make another lunge; take another step back, repeat.

Orc Warrior:When possible, try to limit fights with orcs to one-on-one. The bestway to drop Orcs safely is to strafe around and hit them from the

back.In doing this, you can in theory kill an orc at LVL1, if you have thepatience to spend 15 minutes attacking it.

The orc will begin running toward you, and so long as it's running, itwill do an overhand slash at you. When it gets close enough to do theslash, strafe to the side and it'll miss you completely. From here, start whacking at its back until it turns around. Begin moving backto get some distance (you defend as you move backward by default, sodon't worry about getting hit). Keep moving back until you get enoughdistance for the orc to do another running attack, and repeat.

Fire Lizard:Fighting the fire lizard is similar to dealing with Dragon Snappers,in that you need to pull it away from any other lizards, and in thetechnique used to kill it. Make sure it's running to you -- once it'sclose, take a step back and its fire attack will miss. Get a hit ortwo in so that the lizard jumps back once or twice (don't get too

closeto it, though). If possible, take a step back to increase the distance

between you, so that it begins to run at you again. Step back at thelast second so that it misses, and repeat.

Skeletons:Quite frankly one of the toughest mobs in the game. Like any strongmonster it's best to try to isolate them so that you only fight oneat a time. Simply walk up until one of them unsheaths their sword,

thenturn and run the other direction until there's plenty of space. Then,the best strategy is to block until their sword hits yours, then

followup with a quick side-swipe, then immediately block again. They mayoccasionally get a hit in, but this is the best method that I've comeby.

Shadowbeasts:Quite often when you come by a shadowbeast it's in a cave, and whenit is in a cave, it's a piece of cake to take down. Without everwalking or running, jump from outside the cave over to the front ofthe shadowbeast so that you're facing its head. NPC's don't notice youif you jump around (with a few exceptional ones), thus the beast won'treact until you hit it.

Ready your sword, and begin attacking, pressing forward constantly.Once it's against a wall and has no room to move, begin swiping leftto right repeatedly. If you time it right, the shadowbeast should gethit mid-swipe each time it tries, and you'll eventually take it down.

Trolls:Trolls, while big and ferocious, can be easily taken down. The secretis to constantly hit it from the back. When you first run up to it,

thetroll will howl. While it's doing this, run around behind it and beginhitting. It'll start turning, at which point you should begin to

strafeuntil you're securely at its backside, and then get another two orthree hits in.

The key is to keep moving so that it can never catch you and to put inas many hits when possible. Make sure to stafe entirely clockwise orentirely counterclockwise; don't mix it up. Sometimes you may have torealign yourself, in which case you should stop strafing, turn towardthe troll, get closer, and begin strafing again. You can strafe fasterthan the troll can turn.

Terrain:When a situation is too hard, use the terrain to your advantage. Climbup a small tree stump and shoot the enemy with a ranged weapon (if itcan't jump). For large monsters like Demons, who can't fit throughdoorways, lure them to one and shoot them with a ranged weapon. Trapmobs against walls and beat them down. Fight Orc Warriors behind theshelter of a wall or tent so that Shamans can't attack until you'refinished with the warriors. In short, play smart.

[G.2.3] - FAQs-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Do I have to start over to play the bonus content of NotR, or can I continue from my old save file of G2?A: You need to start fresh, but it'll be well worth it. With all the changes done to the G2 mechanics, it's a lot more challenging and will provide a whole new experience to the game.

Q: Lares won't take the ornament to the Water Mages? What do I have to do?A: In short, start over. It's a glitch. See more details in the bugs section.

Q: Can you become a follower of Beliar by praying at shrines?A: No -- praying at Shrines of Beliar only reward you with hard cash, there is no 'character alignment' for good or evil that will be influenced by doing such.

Q: What is 'Acrobatics'?A: Acrobatics makes you jump farther (like a dive), usefull for a quick escape from a bad situation and crossing large crevasses. You also take less damage from high falls with acrobatics.

Q: How do I learn acrobatics?A: It is automatically learned at 90 DEX. You can learn it at 60 DEX, however, if you equip a +10 amulet, +10 belt, and two +5 rings to get a total of +30 to your DEX. Have your base DEX at 59, equip the accessories, then learn one point of DEX and you'll permanently learn acrobatics.

Q: Why aren't there more FAQs?A: Because the author, N3B, can't think of any more common questions about the expansion or changes to G2 with the expansion. If you know any more that could be added, feel free to drop an e-mail.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [G.2.4] - Bugs-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps the most treacherous bug in NotR involves Lares. When you're trying to join the Ring of Water, Vatras gives you an ornament to give to Lares, which he is to take to the Water Mages. You give it to him, and after some talk and side-quest, he agrees that he can take you with him. An option will then arise when you say "Let's go," to go to take the ornament to the Water Mages. BUT -

If you've already had him take you to Onar's farm, the option disappears! I'm told that the option opens up later in the game, like chapter 3 or 4, but I have not confirmed this. At any rate, the ornament that you gave Lares is a part of the key to opening the Portal, but you can't get it back from him, 'nor will he give it to you, thus you can't get into Jharkendar until it's delivered to the Water Mages the proper way.

There isn't much that can be done to fix this, and most people experienced

this bug the first time through. The only real option is to grit your teeth and start over, which isn't necesarily a bad thing. By now you've figured out a lot about what's changed that you can do it better next time.

- When you meet Dexter and get in combat with him and the bandits, Greg shows up and begins killing them all. For some reason, there is a chance that Greg will wind up taking all your gold when he scrounges through corpses. Be sure to have a save before hand so that you don't lose everything.

- Not so much a bug as a trick, merchants will equip the strongest weapon they have available to them. Thus, certain weapons will become unavailable after you look at a merchant's inventory. If you don't look, it won't be a problem. It's a good idea to save before looking at a merchant's inventory to see if the strongest weapon they have would interest you. If it does, buy it. If you don't have the money, re-load your save and acquire the money.

=============================================================================== [G.3] Walkthrough===============================================================================Now, please note that a lot of these quests overlap, so there's going to besome repeated information in here. The Walkthrough is going to be broken upinto three parts: Pre-Jharkendar, Jharkendar, and Post-Jharkendar.

The Overview goes in a fairly chronological order, so you can look over it asa guideline for your progress. To the left of things is a Code. Bring up the"Find" window (Control+F) and copy and paste the code into it, and it willbring you to that character/quest/appendix. There are times when a quest maylead into another, in which case, noted by this symbol "->". It will be followed by the code of the quest that it continues into.

K.7.T.01 - The Language of the Builders K.7.C.6 - Nefarius

K.7.Q.03 - "The Portal"

C.1.A.1 - Xardas' Tower-----------------------We begin at Xardas' Tower in Khorinis. After he awakens you, he mentions a "newthreat". You can ask him about this and get another FMV explaining the backstory to the add-on content. You may remember in the original, the "Very Old Map" that Brahim could sell you, with markings in the North East around a series of pyramids and ancient constructions. This will play into the bonuscontent.

Be sure to loot his tower fully before continuing on. Sitting on the table next to him is an "Old Stone Tablet". You can pick it up, and upon an attemptto read it, you'll discover it's written in another language. Asking Xardas about this stone will get you +50 EXP. He'll let you keep it. Once you're intown, you can give these Old Stone Tablets to Vatras for rewards.

Head out the tower and go through the cave tunnel near the waterfall lake onthe left. Follow it down to the wooded area with Lester.

K.1.C.1 - Lester----------------The talk with Lester isn't any different from the original, except you can askhim how to get into the city. Apparently he worked with or for Constantinobefore he was cast into the Colony. He tells you that you can pose as an herbvendor for Constantino.

K.1.Q.01 - "Herbs for Constantino" ---------------------------------This is ultimately going to be your way into town (Follow every other steppossible to get in, but once you finally meet the guard, pose as the herb vendor). By obtaining 10 of any one type of herb, you can talk to the CityGuard and he'll grant you access to the town. This rewards you +100 EXP.

The herbs can be found virtually everywhere - around the Shrine of Innos, thearea around Lester, Xardas' Tower, the road to the city, etc. It shouldn't betoo hard for you to come by these. Once you're in, you can talk to Constantinoabout selling him herbs for another +50 EXP. You can then return to Lester totell him that the herb trick worked like a charm for +250 EXP.

K.1.C.2 - Cavalorn ------------------Down the road in the underpass you'll meet Cavalorn fighting a few goblins. Hewas not originally a part of Gothic 2, though served as a merchant and trainerfor the Old Camp in the original Gothic. He'll ask you where you're going; tellhim you're going back to the Valley of Mines, and he'll give you a quest to seeif his hut is still standing (K.1.Q.2).

Continue to talk to him and you'll find out he belongs to the Ring of Water,a group of people who work for the water mages. He advises to talk to Vatras intown for more information. He'll also tell you about his predicament with thebandits.

K.1.Q.02 - "Cavalorn's Old Hut"------------------------------When Cavalorn asks where you are going, tell him you're headed back to theValley of Mines and he will task you with checking on his old hut. You won'tactually be there until chapter 2, of course, so there will be a lot of stuffinbetween getting the quest and finishing it.

Once you're in the Valley of Mines, just west of the castle is a small hut.Marcos has taken up refuse near there, and later, in Ch.4, Cipher and Rod aresitting at a campfire near it. On the floor is a leather satchel labeled "Cavalorn's Leather Satchel". When you inspect it in your inventory screen, itis said to have some lumps of ore in it.

Return this to Cavalorn, and he will offer to pay you 200 gold coins for it. You can ask him why he left it behind if he wanted it so badly now, and he tells you that he didn't know ore was worth so much in the city (since it hadsuch little value back in the colony). Give him his satchel for +300 EXP and+200 gold.

K.1.Q.03 - "The 'Ring of Water'" -------------------------------When you mention Cavalorn's armor, he tells you that he belongs to a group ofpeople who work in secret to support and protect the Water Mages with theirnewest endeavor. He merely tells you that Vatras will be able to tell youmore. -> K.3.Q.01

K.1.Q.04 - "Cavalorn's Bandits"------------------------------Cavalorn was attacked and robbed by bandits, and needs some help in getting his

things back. When you ask him for equipment, he will give you a Wolf Knife and2 small healing potions (the Wolf Knife is the best weapon you'll come byat the beginning of the game, with 30dmg/10str/+3%1H). It's advised to waituntil you've talked to the Bandit and Maleth before going in to kill the restof the bandits, because more opportunities for exp are available.

Once you've talked to the Bandit (see K.1.C.3), you can tell him that therewill be trouble soon; Cavalorn is comming. This will get you +50 exp. Now goback and tell Cavalorn that you're ready to "mix it with them". Follow himup the stairs to the bandit hideout, and he will kill the two bandits up there.You get exp for what he kills, so that's another +30 exp x2. Once the fight isover, he will tell you to take the note off Brago and take it to Vatras.

K.1.T.01 - Learning from Cavalorn--------------------------------When you've completed "Cavalorn's Bandits" (K.1.Q.02), he will now train your1H-combat skills and Bow-skills, as well as sneaking.

K.1.C.3 - Bandit----------------He will pull you into conversation. When he asks where you're from, tell himyou've come from the mountains. Continue to ask questions (do not agree to gowith him or say "maybe later") and then admit that you were a convict in theColony. He'll suddenly have a change of attitude, and will befried you. You canoffer to pay him 10 gold to tell you who gave the order to kill you. He will tell you that Dexter, in a hideout near Onar's farm, issued it. HINT: if youdrop your gold on the ground, you can still get Dexter's name, without havingto pay.

After you've talked to Cavalorn, you can warn him that Cavalorn is commingfor +50 exp.

After you've talked to Maleth, you can warn him that Lobart's farmers noticedthe missing sheep and want them all dead for another +50 exp.

K.1.Q.05 - "Wanted Notes and Bandits" --------------------------------------There's not much you can do with this quest now, aside from getting Dexter'sname in order to get into the Bandit Camp. There are a few other opportunitiesto get his name, but this one is the simplest and earliest option you have.This quest doesn't seem to have any real content to it, as it doesn't completewhen you meet Dexter, doesn't add anything in Jharkendar, and self-completeswhen you enter Ch.4. So, it'll just sit in your quest log idly after you'vegotten Dexter's name. Later you'll talk to Dexter (K.6.C.3) and you will getsome more information on the matter, though not much. -> K.6.Q.01

K.1.A.2 - Lobart's Farm-----------------------Here you can begin a series of short quests to obtain farmer's clothes; theirmain purpose is to help you get into the city (or in the expansion, help Gregget into the city). Once you've begun doing day-labor work for Lobart you can

ask his wife, Hilda, for stew once a day (20 HP/use).

K.2.Q.01 - "The Bandits at Lobart's Farm"----------------------------------------Upon first encountering Maleth, if you mention that you were attacked by somebandits in the mountains (even if you weren't) he'll mention that he wants tosee them all dead for causing the farm troubles. This quest goes hand-in-handwith "Cavalorn's Bandits" (K.1.Q.2) in the fact that they both are havingtroubles with the same group. When you pick up this quest, if you warn theBandit guarding the stairs about Maleth's ambitions, you can get +50 EXP.

Once he's out of the way, you can tell Cavalorn you're ready to fight them.You can return to the bandit and warn him that Cavalorn is comming for another+50 EXP. There are two bandits up in the cave: Brago, the leader, and somelackey. Once they're dead, you can return to Maleth for +100 EXP and 3 bottlesof wine (these can be used later in "For a Bottle of Wine" >K.2.Q.07<). In add-ition, Lobart will sell you the farmer's clothes for 10 gold less (originalprice of 80 gold).

K.2.Q.02 - "How to Get Into the City of Khorinis"------------------------------------------------When mentioning to Maleth that you need a way into the city, this begins thequest of getting in the city (it can also begin when you attempt to enter thecity and are stopped by the guards, or by talking with Canthar). There are afew ways to do this: 1) Sneak in, 2) Use Lobart's farm clothes, 3) Pose as anherb-vendor for Constantino, 4) Use Canthar's pass, 5) Bribe the guards for100 gold.

1) You can sneak in most easily by simply strafing past the Gate Guard. This will turn the camera towards the guard as if you were going into conversat- ion, but you will still be moving. Once you stop, he begins the chat and you can hit "End" and continue through the city. If you talk to Lares, you can get a bonus +500 EXP; he thinks you swam into the city and comments on your ninja-work. You can also get some interesting responses from Lothar and other NPC's. You can then leave, and enter again using one of the below methods (prime way as the herb-gatherer for Constantino) for extra EXP.2) If you wear the farmer clothes, you can get inside the city without any trouble from the guards. HOWEVER; it is wise to give the clothes to Greg to let him in (you get more gold and exp by doing this). He will pay 50 gold for the clothes you paid 30 gold for, and you can get an extra +50 EXP.3) This is its own separate quest, K.1.Q.1 - "Herbs for Constantino"4) Using Canthar's Pass (K.2.P.1) will not reward you any experience, but will get you in the city.5) You can bribe the guards if you want to waste 100 gold. This is the least intelligent way in.

K.2.Q.03 - "Lobart's Work Clothes"---------------------------------If you ask Lobart about needing some sensible clothes, he'll offer to sell yousome farmer's clothes. He will give you a better price on the togs if you workfor him as a day-laborer. You can drop the price significantly by doing some

tasks: harvesting the turnip field (K.2.Q.04), bringing the turnips to Hilda tocook (K.2.Q.05), getting a pan for Hilda (K.2.Q.06), and getting some wine forVino (K.2.Q.07).

If you've done all four tasks and killed the bandits on the way down from Xardas' tower (and told Maleth about it), Lobart will sell you the clothes fora paltry 30 gold (as opposed to the original 80 value).

K.2.Q.04 - "Harvest the Turnip Field" ------------------------------------In the field next to Lobart (to the side of the barn) are 25 turnips. Pickthem all up and return to Lobart for +50 EXP. He'll tell you to take them tohis wife, Hilda. -> K.2.Q.05

K.2.Q.05 - "Bring the Turnips to Hilda" --------------------------------------Hilda is at the oven in the farm house behind Lobart. When you give her theturnips, you'll be rewarded with another +50 EXP and another task. -> K.2.Q.06

K.2.Q.06 - "A Pan for Hilda" ---------------------------Hilda will ask you to get a pan from Canthar, the merchant outside the city.Ask her for the gold, and run to Cantahr (sitting at the crossroads on the main path and the path up to Lobart, on a bench) and purchase the pan. He'llstrike up a deal with you (K.2.P.01) - go ahead and take it. Return to Hildawith the pan for another +50 EXP. -> K.2.Q.07

K.2.P.01 - A Pass into the City ------------------------------Upon seeing your questionable appearance, Canthar will offer you a way into thecity - a pass that allows the bearer past the guards. He will give it to youfor free, but will ask a favor of you later, once you meet up inside the city.Go ahead and take the pass, as it will provide an opportunity for more EXP andgold once you're inside. The quest "Canthar's Favor" will become available toyou when you're inside.

K.2.Q.07 - "For a Bottle of Wine"--------------------------------When you ask Vino if you could help him, and your ignorance of farming is revealed, he'll simply ask you for a bottle of wine. If you completed "The Bandits at Lobart's Farm" you'll already have 3 in your inventory. If not, youcan go back to Canthar and buy a bottle off of him. Return to Vino with thewine for +50 EXP.

K.2.C.6 - Greg--------------On your way to the city gates, you'll run in to Greg, and unlikely pirate inneed of a way into the city. When he asks you if you're interested in gold, be sure to agree to it - don't pick "about those guards" until after you've

agreed to help him. -> K.2.Q.08.a

K.2.Q.08.a - "The Man with the Eyepatch"---------------------------------------The first of your quests with Greg involves helping him get into the city. Ifyou agree to help him, you can offer him several choices, but the only one hewill agree to is using the farmer's clothes you got from Lobart. If you don'thave them yet, he'll wait in his spot until you "come up with an idea" (ie yougetting the clothes to offer him). When you give Greg the farmer's clothes,he'll give you 50 gold for them (a 20 gold profit if you did all the choresand killed the bandits) and +100 EXP. You'll later run in to him at Orlan'stavern, where he will have a second task for you. You can enter the city asan herb-gatherer for Constantino, not needing the farmer clothes anymore. Hewill show up later at the Dead Harpy Tavern with another task for you to helphim with. -> K.5.Q.01.b

K.1.A.3 - Khorinis City-----------------------The harbor city on an island southeast of the mainland of Myrtana; here is where you'll find a lot of information and will begin many of the new questsadded in the expansion. You'll likely spend up to a full hour in and aroundKhorinis what with all of the quests that open up to you when you get in. Forthe purposes of the expansion, your primary target should be Vatras, followedby Lares.

K.3.C.1 - Vatras----------------He's the representative of the Water Magicians inside the city. He is the onewho will ultimately let you into the Ring of Water, so you'll have to do somethings to prove yourself worthy and trustable. He can teach you to increaseyour mana, heal you (for free), and other nifty things. After you've finishedall your conversation topics (particularly the ones about the Ring and joiningit), Vatras will give you some ornament to take to Lares, who is suppsoed todeliver it to the other Water Mages.

K.3.P.01 - Cavalorn's Letter---------------------------When you mention you have a letter for him, you're rewarded with +200 EXP. Hewill ask where you got it from, and if you say Cavalorn (not the bandits), youget another +200 EXP. Vatras will mention something about the Ring of Waterand your potential involvement since Cavalorn deemed you worthy to be told ofit. Return to Cavalorn and tell him you delivered the letter for +50 EXP.

K.3.Q.01 - "The 'Ring of Water'" -------------------------------When you ask about joining the Ring of Water, Vatras says that you must firstprove your dedication to the Ring before you can join. On top of that, he wants you to bring your message to Lord Hagen about the Eye of Innos beforehe can admit you. There's really not much to this quest, since there's a sepa-rate quest for recieving Vatras' trust (see K.3.Q.02 - "Where Are the MissingPeople?"). Once you're ready to join (having completed "Where Are the MissingPeople?" and delivered your message to Lord Hagen about the dragons and the

Eye of Innos), you will be rewarded +400 EXP, a Ring of Water symbol ring withyour 'name' on it. Vatras will tell you to meet with the other members of theRing at Orlan's tavern.

Go to the Dead Harpy and talk to Orlan about the meeting for +100 EXP. He saysthe rest are a bit late, but should be there soon. Lares, Martin, Gaan, Cord,and Cavalorn will join Orland in the back area of the tavern. Talk to Lares for+100 EXP and the Ring of Water Armor. He will explain some rules to you, andcheck if you have any questions. If you ask about weapons, he will give you theRing of Waters' Quarterstaff. By now, you probably have something better, but it's a pretty nice 2H weapon.

Lares will then send you to talk to Vatras to pick up your first assignment.Return to Khorinis and tell Vatras and tell him you need a new assignment; youare rewarded +100 EXP for this. Vatras will give you a letter to take to Satur-as, ultimately the thing that will let you through the portal. Your task is tofind out what Raven's up to and to free the slaves. This starts the quest "Raven's Slaves" which will be done in Jharkendar. Return Lares' Ring for +100EXP.

K.3.Q.02 - "Where Are the Missing People?" -----------------------------------------This is a relatively large quest that is done along-side "Wanted Notes andBandits" (K.1.Q.05). The first step involves asking people about the missingpeople to try to figure out who is missing. The following is a list of peopleto ask, and who/what they mention:

Lares: WilliamGarvell: MontyAndre: No CommentBromor: Lucia & "Bromor's Golden Dish" (K.3.Q.12)Thorben: ElvrichCoragon: Ask Thorben, ask HakonHakon: Joe +50 EXP *Halvor: Ask GarvellAkil: Tonak, Telbor +50 EXPBengar: Pardos +50 EXPCord: Patrick ** Farim: William, bay that William was last seenCassia: Pirate bayKardif: Ask Coragon, ask HalvorSkip: Bandit hideout, leader's name (Dexter)Elvrich: Lucia, Lucia's meeting pointDexter: His leader - Raven

* While Joe may be missing, he is not one of those kidnapped by the bandits. He is a member of the Thieves' Guild who got trapped in a Guard Tower. ** You must first pick up a task before Cord will tell you this. -> K.6.P.02

For completing this quest, the first most important person you'll have to talkto is Skip. To get to him, jump out into the water from the haror and swim north until you find the bay shore. Once you find him, you can talk to him andask him about what he's been up to. He'll mention dealings with bandits in

which they were paid to ferry people to a region in the northeast (the missingpeople). You can ask where the bandits are now, and he will draw on your mapif you have one, or just tell you. In drawing on the map, he remembers theleader's name (if you didn't get it from the Bandit on the way to the city),Dexter.

Next up is liberating one of the missing people. In doing "The Bandits' WeaponDealer" you follow a trail of Bandit Rapiers to the small, enclosed field SE ofBengar's farm. There lies a bandit camp with a few bandits, and one Elvrichsitting in the tent. Once you've killed the bandits (you can go behind the tentfor a better chance at taking them one-on-one), talk to Elvrich.

He will tell you that he was on his way to a rendezvous point with his girl,Lucia, when he was attacked by bandits and hauled away. He tells you that hecould over-hear the bandits talking about making him and others into slaves insome remote area. He was taken to a mooring harbor a short distance from theharbor of Khorinis (where Skip is now). He will tell you that there are moreof them in the woods behind Sekob's farm, and hopes that Lucia will be ok(see K.3.Q.14).

Once you've gotten all the information you need from him, tell him to go backto town. You can later talk to him in-town, and Thorben will reward you with200g.

Go to the bandit camp behind Sekob's farm; there will be some bandits here. Deal with them, and read 'Lucia's Farewell Letter'.

Before going to the final destination, tell Vatras what all you've found; +50EXP for telling him that the farmers are missing people too; +50 EXP for tell-ing him that the bandits are involved; +50 EXP for telling him that Dexter isthe leader of the bandits; +50 EXP for telling him that the pirates were work-ing with the bandits, but are now in conflict with them; +50 EXP for tellinghim you've rescued Elvrich; +50 EXP for telling him Lucia was taken by thebandits; +50 EXP for telling him Lucia has decided to go with the bandits; +50EXP for telling him about the pirates' mooring bay where they were taking themissing people to be slaves. All-in-all, that comes to +400 EXP for tellinghim what you've found out so far.

The final step: Go to the bandit hideout south of Onar's Farm. When you arrive,follow the path up the mountain. When the guard stops you, give him Dexter'sname. He will let you pass without any troubles. Continue past the bandits toDexter's house and talk to him. Ask him all the questions you can about themissing people, and you find out that he's working for Raven, a former OreBaron of the Penal Colony, who needs workers for his project in the north east.

In the end, the only way to get the final proof from Dexter is, as he says, tobeat it out of him. There are a few ways to do this, all with the same result,just a different way to get there. The first is you attack Dexter and kill him.The second: you leave Dexter and attack the bandits. In both events, once youstart fighting, Greg will show up and start slaughtering the bandits. However,if Dexter isn't already dead, Greg will go kill him himself. If Dexter didn't

come out to attack you for attacking his bandits, he will scamper up the tower.Greg will go in the house and ask you where he went, and you can reply "Well,he *was* here a minute ago," and then go up the tower and kill him. Or, if Dexter stayed around, Greg will kill him.

BUG WARNING: When Greg tries to loot a bandit's body, it's possible that he may

wind up taking all of your gold. Save before you do the fight, so that you can re-load if this happens.

Investigate Dexter's body and take the note from him. Read it, and you willget the hard proof of what Raven's planning. You can now take this informationback to Vatras for +400 EXP and his allowance for you to join the Ring of Water

K.3.Q.03 - "The Stone Tablets" -----------------------------When you ask Vatras about the Old Stone Tablet, he tells you that they havewritten histories about an ancient culture that the Water Mages are doingresearch on. He will offer to reward you for each one you bring back.

The reward appears to be: If you bring him under 10 Tablets, you get a variablenumber of mana/health potions. If it's more than 10 Tablets, you get a permaincrease to your maximum mana equal to the number of Tablets you gave him.

K.3.Q.04 - "The Bandits' Weapon Dealer" --------------------------------------If you continue to ask Vatras about the Ring of Water after you've obtainedthe quest "Where Are the Missing People?", upon asking what some of the Ring'stasks are, Vatras will mention their current dilemma with a fence in town whois dealing in weapons with/for the bandits. He doesn't have much informationfor you, but directs you to Martin for more information.

When you ask if there's anything that can help you on your search, Vatras willgive you an ore amulet with a summonable will-o-the-wisp. This wisp can betold to search for close-combat weapons (ideally the bandits' swords, as youfind a trail of Bandit Rapiers) and guide you to them. Vatras says that youcan talk to Riordian with the other Water Mages about training it to findother things.

When you talk to Martin (the provisions master with the knights at the harbor)he will tell you that the bandits have been blockading roads connecting thefarmers. He also advises that you should be able to fight at least five banditsif you're to be able to survive. Now, you can do the quest without doing thisfirst part (it's totally skip-able) since it's pretty hard, but it can be done.I will continue to guide through the way it was *intended* to be completed.

The first step to finding the proof you'll need to expose the dealer, we mustfirst deal with the bandits that are blockading the roads. These bandits arelocated at the over-passing bridge by Akil's farm (you'll pass under it on theway to the Tavern). If you talk to Erol underneath it, he mentions being

attacked by the bandits and having seen them carrying overloading piles ofweapons (in other words, they couldn't carry them all and wound up droppingsome).

These bandits are particularly difficult to deal with since there are so many,and by the time you first meet them, you're probably only level 3 or 4 (unlessyou've gone out of your way to do other things). There are 5 melee bandits andone with a bow. The easiest way to kill these guys (without having spent 15 hours beefing yourself up and getting into Ch.2) is to have Lares go with youto take the ornament to the water mages. At his first stopping point, leave himbe and go lure as many bandits as you can back to him.

You might need to sleep until midnight if you don't want Ehnim and Egill tomess with the bandits as you pull them by. The bandits get caught on terrainreally easily, so be sure to make wide turns around corners and such. The onewith the bow will be a bit tricky to kill, since instead of chasing you he willshoot at you. He is easy to kill once he's alone:

Run towards him in a lengthy zig-zag pattern to avoid getting hit by the bow.Once you're close enough, he'll draw his sword to attack. Now, let him give thefirst strike: block it. Quickly, attack forward, then immediately block again.Establish this pattern of attack, block, attack, block, attack, block, and youshould have him dead eventually, without any troubles.

You should find 3 Old Stone Tablets on them that you can give to Erol to compl-ete "Merchant Raids" (K.4.Q.01). You should also note that some of the banditswere wielding "Bandits' Rapier", essentially a dexterity-based sword withoutthe +5% bonus. There are also two of these Bandit Rapiers lying on the groundnear the campfire.

From here, summon your searching Will-o-the-Wisp and tell it to find youclose-quarters weapons. From now on, as you run it will seek out weapons. Whenit finds one, it will make the weapon flash a few times along with a littlechime. Admittedly, it's sometimes hard to notice when it finds something,because it will be behind you and suddenly decide to branch off the path to a weapon (you won't see it because it's behind you), or since you're alreadyahead of it, when it spots a weapon ahead of you, you'll likely pass it beforethe wisp gets there. So be sure to walk about 30 feet and take a break to makesure the wisp hasn't found anything.

From here, you should find a slight trail of these Bandit Rapiers leading inthe direction towards Bengar's farm. You can talk to Bengar and ask if he sawany bandits come through for +50 EXP, and he will tell you that there indeedwere some comming by. You can ask the Pass guard, but he won't have much to sayabout it. Follow the trail to the stone stairs south of Bengar's house into theenclosed field. On the right, you will see a small bandit camp. There are a fewbandits here, along with one of the missing people: Elvrich.

To fight the bandits, it's advisable to run close enough to get their attention

then run back behind the tree and fight them one-on-one. You could also run behind the tent, as they will (most of the time) run after you into the tentand get stuck in there, so that you can deal with them one at a time. Once theyare all dead, check the bandits' bodies. One of them should have an odd ring,"Overseas-trader Guild Araxos" on him. This is part #1 of the proof we need.

Talk to Elvrich, sitting in the tent, and ask him what happened. He will tellyou about his date with Lucia being interrupted by bandits. This will activatethe new quest "Lucia" (K.3.Q.14). Ask Elvrich all topics about the bandits formore information in "Where Are the Missing People?" and if he saw any weaponswith the bandits. He will indicate that the next series of information can befound in the woods behind Sekob's farm. Tell him to go back to town before youleave.

You can re-summon the wisp and follow the weapon trail as it leads its way toSekob's farm. Ask Balthasar if he saw any strange bandit activity for +50 EXP,and he will tell you he saw a bunch around the woods behind the farm. Continuefollowing the weapon trail to the NW corner, where the bandits are camped.

Lure the bandits the same way you did at Elvrich's camp, using the tent as shelter to take them one-on-one. Once they're all dead, collect all the goods,the most important being a sealed note on the floor between two chests, titled"Delivery". Read it, and we find a signed issue from Fernando. You can alsofind a Farewell letter from Lucia in the tent.

Return to town and confront Fernando about this. He will admit that he was infact involved with the bandits for +100 EXP. You can take a bribe from him of200g and a Wooden Skin ring (+3 arrow protection) with +100 EXP, or turn himover to the militia. Turn him in; the bribe is practically worthless. Go talkto Martin and tell him the four proofs: the guild ring, the F-engraved rapiers,the signed letter, and Fernando's confession. You will get +200 EXP for this.Go tell Vatras about it for another +200 EXP.

K.3.Q.05.a - "Relief for Vatras" -------------------------------Once you've delivered the letter to Saturas, return to Vatras. He'll say thathe's getting tired and could use some relief. You won't be able to do anythingabout this until after you've completed all the quests in Jharkendar first.

There's actually no work that needs to be done further in this quest: just goabout the rest of the game as normal and it will resolve itself. More info in(J.1.Q.08.b).

K.3.T.01 - Learning from Vatras------------------------------Vatras can train your maximum Mana.

K.3.C.2 - Lares---------------Lares now plays a much larger role in the game, as he is one of the importantmembers of the Ring who will help you out.

K.3.Q.05 - "The Water Mages" ---------------------------When you bring Lares the ornament from Vatras (given to you when you chooseto 'End' the conversation after picking up the quest "Where Are the MissingPeople?"), he will grumble about having to go half-way across the island toget it to the magicians. You can offer to take it, but he will resolve to takeit himself, though offering you to accompany him. However, he is supposed tobe keeping watch on the harbor in case more people disappear, so before he canleave, you need to find someone to take his place while he's out. -> K.3.Q.06,"Relief for Lares"

Once you've gotten Lares' relief, he will guide you to the Water Mages. On theway he will stop and tell you about what they're up to; that they're exploringan excavation site of an ancient culture. At certain points, he stops and waitsfor you to tell him to move on. When he does this, you can run off the trailand pull extra mobs for him to kill (since you get the exp for the stuff thathe kills). Be careful when he's not waiting on you; if you go too far off thetrail or fall behind he'll disappear and wind up back in town where you'll have to re-do your run.

At his first stopping point, go off the path to the left and run back a littleways into a small cave. There is an Orc Warrior in here - pull it back to Lares and have him kill it. This will make "The Teleporter Stones (K.6.Q.02)easier and safer. You may also want to pull the bandits on the over-passingbridge down to him for him to kill, since you'll be needing to confront theseguys for "The Bandits' Weapon Dealer" (K.3.Q.04) & "Merchant Raids" (K.4.Q.01)

At his second stopping point you can pull some lurkers and wolves from thepath on the way to Onar's Farm to him.

At his third stopping point, you can go into the woods behind Sekob's farm(to the right, down a small hill) and pull wolves, field raiders, and wargsback up to him for exp.

At his fourth stopping point, you can *try* to pull the Shadowbeasts in thecave under the rope bridge (follow the river around the side of the cliff face), however these are very tricky as they get stuck on the cave exit easilyand run *very* fast. You might not be able to actually get them to him

At his fifth stopping point, there's nothing in the vicinity to pull to him.

At his sixth stopping point, you can pull some scavengers up the path a waysback to him.

When you finally get to the northeastern excavation site, Lares will wait foryou at the entrance to the large pit. If you get near enough to target him hewill automatically bring you into conversation and give you the ornament totake to Saturas. If you want to pull the lizards, fire lizards, shadowbeast,and goblins to him, be sure to pull them past him, rather than to him, so thatyou're not engaged in conversation. Once he's done talking to you, he goes back to the city. You can also pull the goblin skeletons inside the Portallobby up to him.

Once you've joined the Ring of Water, your first task, which will finally

complete this quest, is to deliver a note to Saturas, saying that you are toaccompany them through the portal to stop Raven and free the slaves. This rewards you with +100 EXP.

K.3.Q.06 - "Relief for Lares"----------------------------Lares will give you his Aquamarine Ring, the symbol of the Ring of Water. Hetells you to check the merchants in the Trading District near the NE gate. Oneof them should be able to provide him some relief. To do this, simply wear thering and talk to Baltram. Before you're able to choose any conversation topicshe will mention you bearing their sign. You then tell him about Lares' predica-ment and he will tell you he will have it dealt with. Return to Lares and tellhim this, and he will take you to the Water Mages.

K.3.P.02 - Help from Lares-------------------------Upon asking him for help, you can ask him about money, weapons, and armor. Hecan't do much for you about weapons aside from suggesting buying something fromone of the merchants. If you ask about armor, he tells you a way to get the leather armor that Matteo is selling for free. This involves getting a sleepscroll and casting it on the guard next to Matteo's store (the one who stopsyou from entering the storage vault, similar to the gate guards). This can also be done similarly to how you snuck into the town by strafing past him,and choosing to 'End' the conversation. The armor is in a chest along withsome citizens' clothes that can be used for a quest later on in Jharkendar.When you ask him about money, he will tell you that Lehmar the money-lenderowes him a favor and that you can ask him for money. Don't pick this optionfirst if you want to hear the others, for some reason when you ask about moneythe other options disappear. After he tells you this, you can borrow 200g fromLehmar without having to return it.

Along with his help are new, simpler ways into the three guilds, the Militia,the Fire Magicians, and the Mercenaries. You can only pick one - once youchoose it, you can't select another one. This doesn't limit you to joining theguild you asked for help in joining; you can still join the old-fashioned way.However, you won't be able to use the newer quest(s) to join the others. Seebelow for descriptions of the quests.

WARNING: if you ask him about how to get to Onar's farm, DO NOT, I repeat,^ DO NOT ^ agree to go with him to Onar's. If you do this, you will lose theoption to go with him to deliver the ornament to the Water Mages. The problemhere is that ornament is part of the key to unlocking the portal. So, if hedoesn't deliver it, you can't go to Jharkendar. I've been told that in Ch.3the option to go with him to the Water Mages becomes available again, but better safe than sorry (not to mention you'll want to get into Jharkendar asearly as possible).

K.3.Q.07 - "The Simple Way Into the Militia"-------------------------------------------If you tell Lares you're interested in the Militia, he sends you to Martin. Apparently most nights when Martin goes to Kardif's pub to take a break, someperson steals things from the paladins' storage. Since he can't stay there all

day and night, he offers to give you a reccomendation for Andre if you standand watch the crates that night.

Go find a bed somewhere and sleep until midnight, and return to the Provisionsarea. You will find Rangar, the drunken militia-man rummaging through some ofthe crates. When you catch him, you're rewarded +300 EXP and he begins to getnervous. Once you end the conversation he'll scamper back to his spot nearthe free beer. Go talk to Martin at Kardif's for another +100 EXP and the letter of reccomendation to deliver to Andre. When you bring this letter toAndre (after asking him to join the City Guard) he will agree to let you in,saying that Martin's word is valuable. You can finalize your admission to theMilitia now for +400 EXP and the Light Militia Armor.

K.3.Q.08 - "The Simple Way Into the Monastary"---------------------------------------------If you tell Lares you're interested in joining the Fire Magicians, he sendsyou back to Vatras, since he himself is only involved with magicians on thesurface-level. When you tell Vatras that Lares sent you to him about joiningthe Fire Magicians, he points you to Daron, the Fire Mage at the merchants'square. Apparently he lost a valuable statuette of Innos and would likely be able to get you into the Monastary without the 2000 gold and sheep tribute. Before you leave, he tells you that even though you're joining the Circle ofFire by joining the Monastary, you will still be able to join the Circle ofWater later on (in Jharkendar).

Talk to Daron about wanting to join the Monastary, and then mention his mishapwith the statuette. He will suddenly get irritated about the subject and willtell you that the statuette was a delivery to the Monastary. He picked it upat the harbor, but on the way to the Monastary, he was robbed by a group ofgoblins. All he knows about their location is that it was around Orlan's tavernand that they're probably holing up in a cave somewhere near there. If you canget it back for him, he will be able to let you in without the expensive tribu-te.

The cave that the goblins are in, is the very same one we will be visiting forpart 2 of "The Man With the Eyepatch" (K.5.Q.01.b). First go the the Dead Harpyand begin to follow the road that leads to Onar's farm. On the left, you shouldsee a cave (there are wolves in front of it). If you wind up passing the lakeon your right, you've gone too far. The easy way to find it, if you don't knowwhere to go is to have Greg take you there for his quest. He's sitting on a bench outside the Tavern if you talked to him back at Lobart's.

Once you're there, you will have to fight 3 rooms of goblins and black goblins.It's not incredibly difficult, so long as you're careful not to pull more thanone group at a time. If they're too difficult for you, you can lure them outto Greg (if you're doing this quest at the same time) and he can kill them. Onone of the goblin's body, you will find a 'Valuable Statue of Innos'. Bring itback to Daron at Khorinis City, and he will send you to deliver it to the Mona-stary, since it's brought him nothing but bad luck.

Go to the Monastary and ask Pedro about joining as a novice. Then, tell him youhave brought the 'Valuable Statue of Innos', and he will direct you in to seeGorax, giving you the key to the front door and +250 EXP, along with your newNovice Armor (only slightly better than your leather armor). Bring the Statueto Gorax in the brewing-room on the right, and you will be rewarded another+300 EXP, and your "tribute" is now taken care of.

An interesting bit: when you tell Pyrokar that you need to see Lord Hagen, hementions something about the earthquakes in the northeast as being anothertroubling event, but that it is none of the Fire Magicians' business, since the Circle of Water is already there investigating.

K.3.Q.09 - "The Simple Way Into the Mercenaries" -----------------------------------------------If you tell Lares you're interested in the Mercenaries, he sends you to Cordand Onar's farm. Along with helping you get into the Mercenaries, Cord willalso teach you combat skills without having any previous knowledge in them (henormally requires you to be at least 30% in 1H and/or 2H to train with him).When you take up Torlof's test (either Bengar's militia troubles or collectingthe rent from Sekob) Cord will tell you that he will take care of this if yougo to the bandit camp south of Onar's and see if you can find anything abouthis buddy Patrick who's gone missing.

This sort of ties in with "Wanted Notes and Bandits" and "Where Are the MissingPeople?", but can be done separately. Cord will tell you the leader's name (Dexter), so that you can safely get in. When you go up to the bandit camp (up the inclined ramp on the way to Grom and the trolls (Skip can show youwhere it is if you've talked to him and let him draw on your map)) and give the Gate Guard Dexter's name, go to the house with the lighthouse-esque towertowards the back end of the camp. Dexter will mention his order to have youkilled and having not expected to see you show up there.

Ask him what he knows about the mercenary Patrick for +100 EXP, and Dexter willlie about having no idea where he is now (though he does say that Patrick wasindeed hanging around with bandits). Return to Cord and tell him this news for+300 EXP. He will have completed Torlof's Test for you, so you can talk toTorlof about joining (provided you've convinced at least a few mercenaries tovote for you). You'll get +400 EXP and the Light Mercenary Armor when youfinally talk to Lee and are admitted into the ranks.

NOTE: this quest can be 'done' without having Lares offer it to you. See 'Cord's Friend Patrick' (K.6.P.02)

K.3.Q.10.a - "The Missing People" ---------------------------------When you ask Lares about the missing people, you activate "The Missing People"

This quest is eventually solved in Jharkendar, but for now just serves as atally for who all is missing. We'll re-visit this later in Jharkendar (a bitat least). See J.1.Q.06.b

People who are missing:

ElvrichLuciaMontyPardosTonakTelborPatrickWilliam

K.3.T.2 - Learning from Lares-----------------------------Lares will train your Strength and Dexterity.

K.3.C.3 - Martin----------------Martin is new to the expansion. He is the Provisions Master of the Paladins,though he himself is a high-ranking militia-man. He can sell you some prettygood weaponry early on in the game, and can play a role in helping you get inwith the militia (a new way in, added in the expansion). He is a member of theRing.

K.3.P.3 - Martin's Stock------------------------Things that Martin can sell you: Master Sword, Rune Sword, Giant Machete, Machete, Longsword, Fine Longsword, Fine Short Sword, Militia Short Sword, Ring of Magic, Holy Arrow spell scroll, Holy Light spell scroll, Medium Healingspell scroll, and Molerat fat. The Master Sword seems to be particularly rare,as it was originally found in Xardas' Old Tower in the Valley of Mines (the'Ancient Demon Tower' port), but in the add-on, it was not there. Martin seemsto be the only way to acquire this weapon.

K.3.C.4 - Farim---------------He is a new character added to the expansion. Farim is a fisher located rightbefore the underpass to the paladins' ship on a small beach shore. He plays apart in the Missing People quest, as his buddy William has gone missing. Youcan also get a new quest out of him if you ask about his struggle with themilitia (see below, K.3.Q.11).

K.3.Q.11 - "Trouble With the Militia"-------------------------------------This is a really simple quest. Farim will mention the militia taking away allhis fish to feed citizens and such. If you offer to help (as opposed to demand-ing his fish) you will get the quest. Simply go up to Martin and mention theproblem Farim is having (talk to him about all the options if you can't talkabout Farim right away - the option will arise after you ask what he's doingthere). Martin will tell you to let Farim know that he will take care of hisproblem and you'll get +50 EXP. Return to Farim for +100 EXP and an Aquamarinestone.

K.3.Q.12 - "Bromor's Golden Dish"---------------------------------Bromor's missing prostitue, Lucia, ran off with a precious Golden Dish of his.You can offer to get it back for him and begin the quest. This quest goes alongwith "The Bandits' Weapon Dealer" (K.3.Q.04), so you'll stumble upon this itemeventually by doing that quest. By talking to Elvrich at the enclosed fieldSE of Bengar's farm, you find out that the bandits likely took the dish fromLucia, and that they're holed up in the woods behind Sekob's farm.

Go to Sekob's house and head NW of there, following the edge of the cliff walluntil you come upon the bandit camp in the NW corner. One of the bandits hasBromor's Golden Dish on him. Kill them all and acquire the dish off their deadbodies. Return it to Bromor for +200 EXP and one free night of fun with Nadja.He doesn't care that Lucia is still missing, since business is going just fineeven without her.

K.3.C.6 - Skip--------------To get to skip, jump into the water from the harbor and swim to the right. Youwill soon come to a small bay with a ship, some looted boxes, and a small campinhabited by a certain 'Skip'. When you talk to him, he reveals that he is awanted pirate. He mentions something about Baltram being late (K.3.Q.13). Hecan give you some valuable information about Dexter and the missing people.

He tells you that the pirates have been doing business with the bandits, andpart of that business involved ferrying people to some uncharted region, buthe refuses to tell you any more than that. If you ask where the bandits are,he will tell you, or, if you have a map, mark on it. He can also tell you theleader's name so that you can safely get in to talk to him: Dexter.

K.3.Q.13 - "Pirate Trade"-------------------------When you inquire what Skip wanted with Baltram, he reveals that Baltram owesSkip a shipment in exchange for some seaman's grog. If you go to Baltram andask him about this, you can offer to help with the deal. Baltram will give youhis package to deliver to Skip. Go back to Skip and give him the package for+100 EXP. He will give you 2 bottles of grog, instead of the 3 that Baltramasked for. Take the bottles to Baltram and let him know the news. He will beirked at only getting 2, but knows better than to mess with pirates. This willget you another +50 EXP and +10 gold for your efforts.

K.3.C.7 - Elvrich-----------------Elvrich will return to work with Thorben once you've liberated him from hisbandit capture in the field SE of Bengar's farm. You can get +200 gold from Thorben when you tell him you've brought Elvrich back.

K.3.Q.14 - "Lucia"------------------You technically get this quest back when you talk to Elvrich at the bandit

camp, but this is where you do the actual "work". When you ask Elvrich aboutLucia (when he's at the bandit camp) he tells you she was hauled off to thewoods behind Sekob's farm. He hopes that she is ok.

When you investigate the woods behind Sekob's farm, you discover the bandits'camp with 'Lucia's Farewell Letter'. Bring this back to Elvrich for +100 EXP.He will refuse to believe that she won't come back to him, wanting to believethat she will return. He gives you the letter back. This does not complete thequest, however, as we will re-visit it in Jharkendar.

K.1.A.4 - Akil's Farm and Cross Roads-------------------------------------There isn't much new added here besides the horde of bandits on the bridge,and Erol, the attacked merchant.

K.4.C.1 - Erol--------------You find Erol sitting on a bench just past the wrecked wagon underneath thebridge leading from Akil's farm to the Tavern. When you talk to him, you canask what happened to him, and he'll explain that he was attacked by bandits onthe bridge, activating the "Merchant Raids" (K.4.Q.01) quest. He mentions thathe survived only because he knew how to throw out a good punch. You can ask him about the bandits, and if they were carrying any weapons, and he will tellyou they had so many they couldn't quite carry them all.

K.4.Q.01 - "Merchant Raids"--------------------------Erol lost 3 irreplacable 'Old Stone Tablets' to the bandits that attacked hiswagon. You can offer to help and get the quest. Now, you can either just givehim 3 tablets that you've found elsewhere, or, kill the bandits on the bridgeand take the 3 tablets off their corpses. You'll likely have a difficult timefighting these, since there're six of them. The easiest way to kill them isto lure them to Lares when he stops to tell you about the Ring of Waterin the quest "The Water Mages" (K.3.Q.05). You might have to go into Akil'shouse and sleep until midnight to do this most effectively, since Ehnim and/orEgill is likely to attack them and get killed.

The bandits get stuck on certain landscape formations easily, so take a wideberth around turns and corners. There are 5 bandits using swords, and one whowill shoot at you with a bow; the 5 melee are easy to pull to Lares, but thesixth with the bow is more difficult, since he'll prefer to stand still and shoot at you instead of chase after you. He is easy to kill once the rest areout of the way (I did it with the Wolf Knife and 10% 1H). Run in a zig-zagpattern to avoid getting hit by the arrows. Once you're close enough, he'lldraw his sword. Now, establish a pattern of block, attack, block, attack, andyou should kill him (steadily) without getting killed. Let him give the firstattack. Block it, and immediately after, hit him once, then go straight intoanother block. He'll go down easily.

Take the stone tablets off the dead bodies (there are 3 in total, spread acrossone or two bandits) and return them to Erol for +150 EXP and +30 gold.

K.4.T.01 - Learning from Erol: A Harder Hit------------------------------------When you've completed "Merchant Raids"(K.4.Q.01), Erol will train your strengthand will even give you a free +1 STR when you ask him about it.

K.4.P.01 - Erol's Stock----------------------If you follow Erol, he will wind up at the small hut by the lake where Busterhangs out. By asking him about the hut, you're rewarded +50 EXP. His inventorycontains a few nice things, such as a Life Elixer potion (+20 max HP), a STRamulet (+10 STR).

K.1.A.5 - Dead Harpy Tavern---------------------------The Tavern serves as the meeting point / headquarters for the Ring of Water.There's not much of a change in this region, besides the new conversation(s)with Orlan and Greg.

K.5.P.01 - A Free Bed for the Ring---------------------------------If you talk to Orlan while wearing a Ring of Water symbolization ring, you canask him if he's staring at your ring. He'll say that he doesn't know what to make of it. Respond that it's an aquamarine (don't mention the Ring, that'dbe breaking rule #1) for +50 EXP. When you later ask about renting a bed, hewon't charge you, being a brother of the ring, and will give you the key to theupstairs rooms.

K.5.C.2 - Greg--------------If you talked to Greg when he was at Lobart's farm outside the city gates, hewill now be sitting on a bench outside the Dead Harpy, still wearing the farmergarb you gave him earlier. You can strike up a conversation with him to providesome more help/suggestions for him. There's nothing much accomplished, besideshim saying your suggestion is stupid or good, until you offer him 10 coins.This leads into part 2 of "The Man With the Eyepatch" (K.5.Q.01.b).

K.5.Q.01.b - "The Man With the Eyepatch"---------------------------------------Greg, in true pirate nature, buried some of his belongings the last time hewas in Khorinis, and could use your help to re-collect them. Whenever you'reready, tell him to go to the cave. Follow him there, just down the road a bittowards Onar's farm. When you get to the entrance, he'll hand you a pick-axeand send you in to get the stuff. "X marks the spot" he says. He'll stay backand guard the entrance.

The X is in the room at the end of the left-most hall from the first room. But,there are some goblins in the way. An assortment of regular and black goblins

will attack when you enter the cave. If they're too much for you, you can lurethem out to Greg for him to kill, though you won't get the exp for it. Go tothe large red X on the floor in the back room and use the action button on it.You will dig-up a leather satchel.

Return to Greg, now dressed in his Pirate garb, and tell him you found the satchel with 100 gold coins for +100 EXP. He will now send you to find hisother four stashes, and will be waiting at the crossroads between Onar's farmand Sekob's farm.

1) The nearest one is on the small islet in the middle of the lake, just across the path from the cave you just dug from. There is a lurker out there, so kill it and dig up the loot for +50 EXP.2) The next is in the enclosed field SE of Bengar's farm (follow the path to Onar's farm from the last X, but turn off the road to the right when you get to the open farm field with the Field Raiders and Lurkers, and follow it through, heading south). The spot is just north of the bandits, but you can dig it up without drawing their attention. Just be sure to not get too close. +50 EXP.3) Head up the stairs at the southern end of the field, and head towards Bengar and his house. Behind the barn is the third X. +50 EXP.4) Follow the trail from Bengar's house until you see a pair of waterfalls on the left (it's right next to the Pass to the Valley of Mines). There are 2 lurkers on this spot - separate them and kill them, then dig up the final stash for another +50 EXP.

By now, you should have: an amulet, 100 gold coins, a silver dish, and a goldchalice. Return to Greg at the crossroads between Sekob and Onar's farms, andgive him his things for +300 EXP, and your measley share of the loot, 30g. When you ask him what happens next, he'll tell you that he's still looking for'the guy with the red armor, name starting with a D'. Suggest Dexter, and he'llsay that he's not sure if that's the guy's name or not. If you've talked toSkip or Cord and have Dexter's location, tell Greg for another +50 EXP.

K.1.A.6 - Onar's Farm, the Pass of Khorinis, the Bandit Camp------------------------------------------------------------There's not a whole lot new going on here, but there are some important thingsthat need to be documented, so the entire eastern region has been sort of lumped into one category.

K.6.C.1 - Lee-------------By talking to Lee in the main building at Onar's Farm, you get the option ofasking him what he knows about the Ring of Water. -> K.6.P.01

K.6.P.01 - Circle of Water?--------------------------Lee will tell you that he doesn't really have a lot of time for all that, eventhough he worked for the Water Mages back in the Colony. He relies on Lares formost of that work. He helps from time to time, but has bigger things to worry

about. He will point you to Cord, a member of the Ring who can help you outmore than Lee can.

K.6.C.2 - Cord--------------Cord, to the side of Onar's house, will ask you who told you about the Ring ofWater. If you were told by Lares in "The Simple Way into the Mercenaries", youwill tell him this, and he will ask what you want of him. You can ask some favors of him. If you heard from Lee, you still get to ask some favors of him,though not as many. The most important one, is his missing friend Patrick.-> K.6.P.02

K.6.T.01 - Learning from Cord----------------------------When Cord is revealed to be a member of the Ring of Water, he can train your1H and 2H sword skills without having to be at the minimum 30% like he normallydoes.

K.6.P.02 - Cord's Friend Patrick-------------------------------This is esentially the same thing as "The Simple Way into the Mercenaries",only you didn't hear about it from Lares. This time, you heard about it from Lee, so you can still have the opportunity to use the new quests to join adifferent guild, yet still find out about another Missing Person and get someeasy exp. In order to do this quest, you have to be guildless and expressinterest in joining the Mercenaries (though you don't actually have to in theend).

Tell Cord that you want his help joining the Mercenaries, and he will agree tohelp you pass Torlof's Test if you help him. Pick up Torlof's quest (eithercollecting the rent from Sekob or driving the Militia from Bengar's farm (thelatter provides more opportunity for exp if you don't want to join the Mercs.If you are joining the Mercs, it won't matter, you'll later recieve the opposi-te quest)). Return to Cord and he will tell you about his predicament.

His friend Patrick has gone missing, and was often seen mingling with thebandits. Cord sends you to the camp to see if Patrick is anywhere to be found.He gives you the leader's name in order to get in: Dexter.

Go to the camp, give Dexter's name, and ask Dexter about Patrick for +100 EXP.He will lie that he doesn't know where he is now. Return to Cord with this news for +300 EXP.

NOTE: Before completing Cord's task, you can go and do the quest you picked up from Torlof (though don't finalize it until after you've talked to Dexter), then complete Cord's quest for extra EXP. You can then do one of the other "Easy Way" quests if you want to join the Fire Magicians or the Militia. If you want to join the Mercenaries, might as well just take the "Easy Way" quest for the Mercs. Though, if you really want extra EXP you can do the "Easy Way" quest for the Militia, take the Note to Andre,

but don't actually join the Militia, and then do Cord's task and join the Mercs.

K.6.C.3 - Dexter----------------Dexter, the leader of the bandits, is running the operations to kidnap citizensfrom Khorinis and ship them off the the northeast to serve as slaves for theformer Ore Baron Raven. He plays a crucial role in "Where Are the Missing People?", which in itself is the main way into Jharkendar.

K.6.Q.01.b - "Wanted Notes and Bandits"------------------------------------Dexter will tell you that he was ordered by Raven to have you killed, hence thewanted posters. Raven knows how much of a trouble-maker you can be, so he'sdecided to try to make sure you don't get involved right off the bat. Therereally isn't much content to this quest, since it doesn't complete when youtalk to Dexter, doesn't seem to progress any when you're in Jharkendar, andself-completes when you begin Ch.4, so this is about all we'll find out.

K.6.P.03 - A Man With an Eyepatch--------------------------------After you've done all of Greg's tasks in "The Man With the Eyepatch" you canwarn Dexter that 'a man with an eyepatch' is looking for him for +100 EXP. Heresponds that everyone is looking for him, and if this man wants to see him,he should just come.

K.6.P.04 - Fire Bow------------------At the very pinnacle of one of the towers is a magic weapon, the Fire Bow. Inorder to get it, go to the tower with the spiral staircase (if you take a leftbefore crossing the bridge with the Guard). Once at the top, climb up onto oneof the ledges, then jump up to the top of the tower. You'll find the Fire Bow(50 DEX/100 dmg) along with some Fire Arrows, more of which are in the chest.

K.6.C.4 - Greg--------------Greg will remain at the crossroads between Sekob and Onar's farms until youengage the bandits in combat, at which point he will show up and begin to fightthe bandits.

K.6.Q.02.c - "The Man With the Eyepatch"---------------------------------------After you 1) attack Dexter, 2) are attacked by Dexter, or 3) attack the banditsGreg will show up and will start attacking and killing the bandits for you. Ifyou haven't talked to Dexter just yet, Greg will run into Dexter's house andkill him (if he's there). It's advisable to talk to Dexter before letting Gregshow up so you can get some insight and some extra EXP.

There was one ocasion that I played and Dexter wasn't in the house when Gregwent to kill him. I was experimenting with different outcomes, and thus didn'tdo the showdown with Dexter, rather left the house and started killing bandits.In short, Greg ran into the house, and when I got there, asked where Dexterwas, and all I could say was "Well he *was* here,". It turned out Dexter hadscampered up the tower a ways, and will attack you when you go up there.

At any rate, Dexter should be dead by the end of this, and you will get +100EXP for talking to Greg. Greg will say different things if you talked to Dexteror not, and if you killed Dexter or if Greg killed Dexter. In short, he tellsyou to search Dexter's body. You will find a note in his inventory. Read thenote yourself (it plays a role in "Where Are the Missing People?") and takeit back to Greg for him to read.

That note apparently doesn't help him. He had wanted to try to find a way toget back to the north-eastern district without a boat, and hoped Dexter knew away. You can mention the water mages' portal, and Greg will scoff at the idea.Later, however, he'll wind up using it.

You can tell Greg that you ran into Skip for +100 EXP, and Greg will respondthat he waited for Skip for three days, and wonders why he was so late in arriving at the bay. For now, Greg will just stay at Dexter's camp until yourun into him in Jharkendar.

BUG ALERT: There is a chance that when Greg reaches down to loot a bandit's body he'll somehow wind up taking all of *your* gold too. I believe that for some reason if he loots the body of a bandit with gold on him, he gets your gold as well. He only loots one, and I guess if he loots one that doesn't have gold (or that you already took gold

from), this won't happen. I could be totally wrong, but it does happen. Best to save your game before fighting just in case.

K.6.C.5 - Gaan--------------Gaan is standing just in front of the bridge to the Pass of Khorinis leadingto the Valley of Mines.

K.6.P.05 - Another Ring Member-----------------------------If you talk to Gaan while wearing a Ring of Water symbolization ring, you willget +50 EXP and can find out more about him and his tasks. He is supposed tokeep an eye on the Pass, but since the Paladins have locked it up, there hasn'tbeen much activity to report.

K.6.T.02 - Learning from Gaan----------------------------Gaan can teach you to take animal trophies: Bloodfly Wings, Bloodfly Stinger,Remove Claws, and Remove Teeth. If you complete his quest "The Snorting Creat-ure" when you ask him about the hunting, he can teach you how to remove DragonSnapper Horns.

K.1.A.7 - The Water Mages' Site-------------------------------This is the region marked on the "Very Old Map" that Brahim suggests may be atreasure map. In the original G2, it didn't serve much purpose besides a fewextra EXP points and a free Orc Slayer, the strongest 1H available in the gamebefore Ch.5 when you can learn how to forge magic ore weapons or consecratea Paladin's Sword into the Wrath of Innos.

In NotR, however, this region now contains an underground 'temple' with a magicportal that the Water Mages believe leads to an ancient lost civilization. Around this region you can see/hear/feel the effects of minor earthquakes. Themages suspect the cause of these earthquakes is on the other side of the portal, but they don't know for sure what they'll find when they cross into thenext demension.

K.7.C.1 - Saturas-----------------When you first bump into Saturas he gets furious, recognizing you as the guywho sabatoged the Water Magicians' plans back in the Penal Colony. You thenget to watch an FMV that was featured in G1 of you absorbing the power of themagic ore mound into Uriziel (the uber sword).

When you ask to join the Ring, Saturas merely says that he hasn't any time forany of that - he leaves that work up to Vatras in Khorinis City.

If you ask if he can teach you magic, he says he will not, due to the fact thatyou've already "disturbed the balance of magic". Once you're through the Portal(if you're a Fire Mage) he will teach you the Circles of Magic.

If you choose to 'End' the conversation, he will tell you to send Riordianto him (K.7.Q.01).

K.7.Q.01 - "Riordian"--------------------This is a rather simple quest; simply continue down the vault to the left andyou will see Riordian studying the images on the wall. Tell him that Saturaswants to see him. You're rewarded +50 EXP, quest complete.

K.7.C.2 - Riordian------------------Riordian tells you that he believes behind the portal lies an ancient, long lost civilization of Adanos-worshipping people. As told be Vatras, Riordiancan teach your Will-o-the-Wisp to search for things other than close-rangeweaponry (K.7.P.01).

Once through the Portal (if you're a Fire Mage) Riordian will teach you the artof alchemy.

K.7.P.01 - Training the Will-o-the-Wisp--------------------------------------Riordian, upon Vatras' advice, can teach your Wisp to find things other thanjust melee weapons:

'Gold, Keys, Utensils: 2 LP''Long-Ranged Weapons, Ammunition: 1 LP'

The option is still available once you're in Jharkendar.

K.7.C.3 - Cronos----------------Cronos doesn't do much for you now, although he will sell you some things (likehe did back in the New Camp in the Colony). For now, his inventory isn't thatimpressive, consisting mostly of just simple spell scrolls. However, oncethrough the Portal, his inventory will become much more valuable.

K.7.C.4 - Merdarion-------------------Merdarion works with Nefarius on trying to decipher exactly where the portalleads and what they will find beyond it. He tells you that they need more ornaments in order to get the portal to work. You can ask him if he knows thequickest way back to town, and he will tell you 'back the way you came', andthen mumble something about teleporter stones (K.7.Q.02).

Once through the Portal (if you're a Fire Mage) he will teach you how to incre-ase your maximum mana.

K.7.Q.02 - "The Teleporter Stones"---------------------------------When you press Merdarion about the teleporting stones, he tells you that theyhave found at least two of these stones. You can demand the key, and use it onthe large stone door just before the large pit a room back. This will unlock the room with the teleporter stone and a so-so chest. Stepping onto this stonewill port you to a cave just outside the NE gate of Khorinis, but watch out!There's an Orc Warrior here waiting to ambush you. You can have Lares kill theorc when you're first being escorted out to this region. If you did not, beready to run like hell. You can eat a bit of snapperweed before stepping onthe portal if you need to.

When you step on this portal outside of Khorinis, it takes you to a place nearthe Dead Harpy Tavern (the second stone that Merdarion told you about). If youturn around you'll see a boarded-up crevasse with a locked door. Go to thetavern and talk to Orland about portals (+50 EXP). He'll give you the key ifyou ask for it. Return to the locked door and step inside. Loot the things onthe ground and step on the stone. Having used all three teleporter stones, you're rewarded with +200 EXP, and you're now back at the Water Mages' site.Tell Merdarion that you've used the stones for another +50 EXP.

Khorinis --> Tavern .__ |

|\ | \ \|/ \ ^ Water Mages

K.7.C.5 - Myxir---------------Myxir can tell you more about the 'Stone Tablets' that you've been finding. Heknows that they contain knowledge about combat and inner abilities of the lostculture. If you ask to be taught the language, he will teach you what he knows.-> K.6.T.1 - The Language of the Builders

K.7.T.01 - The Language of the Builders--------------------------------------By learning the language of the builders, you can read Stone Tablets that youwill find, which increase your base attributes or your weapon-efficiency, thussaving you a lot of LP's. You will also need it later on to read importantthings in Jharkendar.

K.7.C.6 - Nefarius------------------Nefarius is the guy in charge of trying to activate the Portal. As he tellsyou, they need four ornaments to make a ring-shaped key to fit into the switch.This begins "The Portal" (K.7.Q.03)

Once through the Portal (if you're a Fire Mage) he will teach you how to createrunes, particularly new spells of the Circle of Water that were added.

K.7.Q.03 - "The Portal"----------------------When you hand Nefarius the ornament that Vatras gave to you to give to Laresthat Lares gave to you to give to Nefarius, he gets delighted and decides tosend you out to find the other 3 ornaments to form the key. He hands you a mapwhich shows the location of the other 3: one at Sekob's farm, one in the woodsnorth of Khorinis, and one at Lobart's farm, each found by activating stonecircles. When you tell Saturas about Nefarius' task for you, and show him themap, he tells you to find someone to accompany you in the forest so that youdon't wind up dead, carrying valuable fragments of the key.

The First Ornament: Go to Sekob's Farm. There is a stone circle just south ofSekob's house. Push all the three buttons, and out will rise a Stone Sentinel.Kill it for +180 EXP, and take the ornament off of its corpse. You'll probablyneed to be around lvl 15 or higher with a high-damaging weapon and a good setof armor to be able to take its hits.

The Second Ornament: Go to Lobart's Farm. Cavalorn is now standing at the stonecircle on the high hill behind his house. When you ask him about it, he tellsyou that he already talked to Lobart, and he said that he and his farmers hadalready messed with it, and out came the sentinel. They called in the militia,who called in the Paladins to deal with it. When you activate the switches,nothing happens. Tell this to Cavalorn. He suspects that the paladins have it.Tell him that you'll go demand it from them. You'll need to be in a guild to be able to do this part. Go into the Upper Quarter of town and ask Lothar aboutthe ornament. He will send you to Lord Hagen. Ask him for the ornament, and hewill give it to you, along with +50 EXP. Tell Cavalorn (now at Vatras' Square)that Hagen had it for another +50 EXP.

The Third Ornament: You'll need Lares' help for this. Go find him in the harbordistrict and tell him you need help getting through the thick woods in the north. Whenever you're ready, tell him to go to the woods and he will lead youto the entrance. At the entrance, he'll double-check that you're sure you wantto go in. Tell him you want to go. Once again, you'll get the EXP for the mobsthat he kills. He'll stop at the stone circle at the northern end of the forst.From here, you can run around the forest and pull as many mobs to him as youwant. There are plenty wargs, orc warriors, and skeletons to be killed for upto 300 EXP a pop. Press all the buttons on the stone circle and the sentinelwill arise. Kill it for another +180 EXP, and take the ornament off of it. Whenyou talk to Lares, he will go back to the city.

Now that you have the other 3 pieces of the Key, return to Nefarius with thepieces. You will be rewarded +200 EXP and 100g for each piece you bring. Thus,you're rewarded +600 EXP and +300g. Now comes the task of repairing the brokenartifact. Follow him to the room where Saturas resides, and the water mages will perform an incantation. Wait for Nefarius to automatically tell you it'scomplete - he will give it to Saturas for you to get from him. However, youcannot get the key until you've joined the ranks of the Ring of Water and havebeen given a note from Vatras to give to Saturas.

You recieve Vatras' letter for Saturas once you're a member of the Ring ofWater; this is done by completing "Where Are the Missing People?" (K.3.Q.02).Once you're a member, Vatras' first task for you is to bring Saturas a letter.This letter tells Saturas that Vatras believe you are 'the one' and that youare to accompany the water mages through the portal to stop Raven and free theslaves. Deliver the letter to Saturas for +100 EXP, and he will give you thekey. Now, use it on the small, circular key-hole to the left of the portal.

In you go.

J.5.C.2 - JuanJ.5.I.X - The Ladder Camp Site

J.1.A.1 - The Ruins-------------------When you come out of the portal, you find yourself in a ruined temple similarto the one you were at on the other side of the portal. When you navigate tothe outdoor areas, you find a large, ruined temple district with step-patternlevels circling around the outer edges.

J.1.C.1 - Saturas-----------------Saturas is the first person you'll meet as you emerge from the Temple. He willtell you what he knows about the area, and one particularly interesting fact:the water mages beat you to the Ruins by several days. Ask him all you canand get all the information available and you'll pick up several quests.

J.1.Q.01 - "The Vanguard of the Water Mages"--------------------------------------------Saturas will tell you that they recruited a few more people to the Ring ofWater in the few days they've been in the new area. One of them, Lance, wassent to explore the Bandit Camp in the swamp to the East, but hasn't returned.

Follow the trail to the east, leading to the Swamp district. You will eventual-ly come to a small set of stairs. Continue following the path for a ways, butventure off the road to the right a bit before the path fades away and meetsup with the log bridge. Lance's body can be found just a few feet from theedge of the swamp. Loot his body, being sure to get his Aquamarine ring. Returnto Saturas and tell him you found Lance's body for +100 EXP. He will say thatthe bandits likely did him in since he wasn't one of them. Give Saturas Lance'sring for another +200 EXP.

J.1.Q.02.a - "Raven" --------------------This is the quest to stop Raven from getting into the Temple, and ultimatelygetting the artifact in it. You won't actually be able to fight him or getanywhere close to him until you're in the Temple. For that part, see J.1.A.4,the Temple of Adanos.

You can, however, tell Saturas what you find out about Raven, +100 EXP for each important piece of information you acquire. Things you can tell Saturasabout:

- Raven has a gold mine, and you can't get in until you deal with several of bandits in the way (after talking to Sancho and recieving the quest "Forward (Into the Bandit Camp")- Raven excavated the tomb of Khardimon and that he's trying to get into the Temple of Adanos. He had an apprentice by the name of Fortuno who deciphered the language of the builders (after talking to Fortuno when completing the quest "Mental Meanders")- Raven sealed the door to the temple behind him by praying an incantation, and you can't get in.

This quest will remain active until you kill Raven.

J.1.Q.03.a - "Raven's Slaves"-----------------------------You are tasked to free the slaves that Raven has kid-napped from Khorinis. Youwon't be able to do anything about this quest until later on, when you'reactually inside the Bandit Camp. Once you're in the gold mine, talk to Patrickto do the rest of the quest (J.3.Q.13.b).

J.1.Q.04 - "Relics"-------------------Saturas wants you to bring him any relics, or stone tablets, that you come byin your exploration that could reveal more about the history of the Builders.You can hand him an Old Stone Tablet if you have one, but he will reject it,since they've already acquired some of those in Khorinis.

After you've activated 2 Teleporter Stones in "The Power of the Focus Stones"(J.1.Q.11), Merdarion will tell you that Saturas has new information for you.As Saturas tells you, they found out that the 'Council of Five', the five leaders of the Builders, each had a mansion in Jharkendar. He suspects that you

can find more relics in the mansions. You can talk to Riordian for more infoabout the mansions. The quest will then go side-by-side with "The Mansions ofthe Builders" (J.1.Q.10).

You can find the following relics: Yellow Stone Tablet from the Library of theScholars in the Canyon, Purple Stone Tablet from the Mansion of the Guardiansof the Dead in the south-eastern Valley, Blue Stone Tablet from the House ofthe Priests in the south-western Valley, Green Stone Tablet from the House ofthe Healers in the Swamp, and the Red Stone Tablet from the Fortress of theWarriors in the northeast. Consult the map of Jharkendar in the images sectionfor the NotR Guides on GameFAQs for the locations of these Mansions.

The Red Stone Tablet is not found in a chest directly in the Mansion, as theother four are; rather, you need to kill Esteban in the Bandit Camp at somepoint to get them. He tasks you with the quest "Attempted Murder", and you'resupposed to kill him after that and get 5 Red Stone Tablets, one of which youbring back to Saturas.

For each tablet you bring to Saturas, you recieve +400 EXP and +200g, for atotal of +2000 EXP and +1000g.

You later find out that these relics reveal insight to safely navigating theTemple of Adanos, without suffering a horrible death to booby traps. When youare ready to enter the Temple, Saturas will give them back to you for you touse.

This quest will remain active until you kill Raven.

J.1.Q.05 - "Bandit Armor"-------------------------In order to get into the Bandit Camp you need to get yourself a set of theirarmor to sneak in. You can, in theory, just go in without it and kill everybandit that attacks you on your way up to the Temple, but that isn't as funas playing the role you're intended to and doing the quests. Saturas suggestsbartering with the Pirates for armor.

You can ask Alligator Jack, standing to the west of the Ruins, about BanditArmor, and he will tell you that there was at one point a set in the PirateCamp. He can take you there in the quest "Rat Hunt". Once you're in the camp,you can ask Skip about the armor, and he'll tell you that it is supposed to bekept in Greg's hut, but since he's in Khorinis he's put Francis in charge ofthe camp and keeping people out of his hut.

There are a series of things you need to do before you can get the armor:

1) Getting into the camp (J.2.P.01)2) Getting the key to Greg's hut (J.2.P.06)3) Searching Greg's hut & spawning Greg4) Completing "Razor Hunt" (J.2.Q.10)

You'll need to pay Henry your admission fee before you can get into the camp.You then will need to get the key to Greg's hut and search it, thus triggeringGreg to show up at the camp. You can ask him about the armor, but he won'tgive it to you until you help improve morale in the camp and securing thesafety of the pirates by killing the Razors in the Canyon ("Razor Hunt").

When you've done so, he will tell you that he had originally planned for Bonesto wear the armor and spy on the bandits. Since you've been such a help to him,he will let you use the armor to spy for him, thus getting you the quest "Spy-ing on the Bandits" (J.2.Q.11). Talk to Bones, and he will give you the armorand +200 EXP. You're now set to sneak into the Bandit Camp.

J.1.Q.06.b - "The Missing People"---------------------------------Saturas will tell you that they found the body of a fisherman in a small ruinedbuilding along the outer circle of the Portal Ruins to the east. This fishermanis William, Farim's missing buddy. You can find his body and read a note thatwas on him, which seems to be a letter telling him how to escape from the Bandits, but apparenty he didn't make it.

There's nothing else to really do in this quest; it will complete itself whenyou've freed the slaves in "Raven's Slaves" (J.3.Q.13.b).

J.1.Q.07 - "The Claw of Beliar"-------------------------------You first pick up this quest when you talk to Saturas after your talk withQuarhodron. You ask what's in the Temple, and Saturas tells you booby traps,the relics are the keys to understanding them, and worst of all, the Claw ofBeliar - That is what Raven's after.

Once you've killed Raven and taken the Claw of Beliar from him, you can bringit back to Saturas and you get to work on quest. It's short and sweet; he willtell you your options of what to do with it. The first, is to give it to him,and he will render it useless by burying it in the sea (what Rhademes was say-ing when he said 'If you have the strength..... sink it in the depths of thesea'). You will be rewarded with +2000 EXP if you choose to do this option.

The other, is to pray at a Shrine of Beliar and put the powers of the swordto your own use. You aren't rewarded with any EXP for this option, but it's themore fun one in my opinion. You can play with the Claw for the rest of the gameincluding the Dragon Hunt, which adds a new level of fun to the game. You canbring the Claw to Xardas back in Khorinis for +450 EXP, so if you want someextra EXP before giving it to Saturas, be sure to drop by Xardas first.

For more information on the Claw of Beliar, see [A.2.5] (as miltia/mercenary)or [A.3.7] (as fire magician).

J.1.Q.08.b - "Relief for Vatras"--------------------------------Once you've killed Raven, Saturas will finally tell you that he's sending Myxirinto town to relieve Vatras.

J.1.T.01 - Mage: Learning from Saturas

--------------------------------------If you are a Fire Magician, Saturas can teach you the Circles of Magic, thoughyou will probably have already learned them from Parlan in the Monastary. But,if you haven't, Saturas will teach them.

J.1.C.2 - Nefarius------------------Nefarius can clue you in on more information about the Portal, and will tellyou that it should be safe to use the Portal to go back to Khorinis (which itis).

J.1.Q.09 - "The Sunken City"----------------------------Nefarius will tell you some of the records that they've discovered, one of which contains the story of the city being destroyed by a flood, caused by thewrath of Adanos. He will tell you to ask Saturas about it for more information.Go to Saturas and tell him Nefarius sent you, rewarding +100 EXP and more infoon the civil war and the tale of Quarhodron and Rhademes.

J.1.T.02 - Mage: Learning from Nefarius---------------------------------------Nefarius can teach you every rune for every circle, including some new onesin the 'Circle of Water' (which you don't have to learn separately) featuringthe spells Whirlwind, Ice Lance, Geyser, Storm, Waterfist, and Dust Devil.

J.1.C.3 - Cronos----------------Cronos can tell you more about the Stone Sentinels and how they were awoken.

J.1.P.01 - Cronos' New Inventory--------------------------------Cronos' new inventory, now that you're in Jharkendar, consists of much more than it did when you were in Khorinis. Now, he has two weapons new to NotR;the Typhoon and the Wand of the Water Mages, both of which are 2H staves, designed to be used by mages, having low STR requirements for a moderatelyeffective damage. He also has just about every spell scroll you could need, some rune-making materials, and coolest of all, portable 'Spell Books' whichcontain the list of runes that can be made for each Circle and the materialsneeded for each rune. Also, be sure to buy a Map of Jharkendar from him. Youcan acquire one in Greg's hut, complete with locations of buried treasure, butits best to have one right off the bat, since you won't be able to get thatmap until later.

J.1.C.4 - Myxir---------------Myxir doesn't play much of a role in Jharkendar. Besides him teaching the Lang-uage of the Builders, you can talk to him about spirits. It seems that theBuilders kept close to their ancestry by summoning spirits/ghosts of deceasedelders for guidance and assistance. You can tell him that you'll let him know

if you see a spirit, which foreshadows your conversation with Quarhodron.

J.1.T.01 - The Language of the Builders---------------------------------------If you haven't learned it yet, you can learn the language in order to read Stone Tablets, and more importantly (as far as the plot goes), the Lecternsand Relics that you'll come by. The Lecterns tell the story of Jharkendar, andthe Relics are supposed to give clues to navigating the Temple of Adanos.

Language of the Peasants: 5 LP (read lvl I tablets)Language of the Warriors: 10 LP (read lvl II tablets)Language of the Priests: 15 LP (read lvl III tablets)

J.1.Q.10 - "The Power of the Guardians of the Dead"---------------------------------------------------After you make it into the Temple of Adanos, and come up short just as Ravenmutters an incantation and steps into the doors, sealing them behind him, youreturn to Saturas to tell him this news. He will tell you to go to Myxir; youhave to summon your own spirit to open the door for you.

Raven summoned Khardimon, one of the two people who know how to open the doorssince he was one of the two who sealed them in the first place. Since the graveof Khardimon has been desecrated by Raven, you will have to summon Quarhodron.Myxir tells you that his grave is supposed to lie directly in the West. Beforeyou set out to find it, he gives you a piece of paper with the words that aresupposed to summon Quarhodron. He mentions Y'Berion, the leader of the SectCamp in the Colony that worshipped the Sleeper, believing it to be their saviorrather than a Demon Lord.

To find Quarhodron's grave, go to the Hermit's house, and follow the path as itheads north from the Teleporter Stone. Keep an eye on the left, and just as thepath begins to twist vertically up and to the right, you should see a smalloutcropping in the cliff wall with a small path that leads up it. Follow thatpath as it winds up and around to the plateau of the grave. You can also usethe map of Jharkendar hosted here on GameFAQs in the images section for a mapmarker.

In front of the grave is a troll, complete with a few goblins. Lure the trollaway from the goblins so that you can take the time to kill it. Use the trickfor slaying trolls; get in close and strafe around its backside, hitting it 2or 3 times periodically and continuing to keep behind it. Eventually, it willdie for +500 EXP and give you the freedom to kill the goblins and head intothe grave. In the ruined building outside, you can hack into a chest contain-ing an Old Stone Tablet and a Strength I Tablet.

Inside the grave you will bump into a few zombies. Kill them (keep in the halland alternate horizontal left/right attacks if need be) and loot the grave.You can find a nifty Magic Cross Bow, a Ring of the Warriors, several hundredgold, and a Dexterity I tablet.

When you're ready, find Myxir's scroll for summoning Quarhodron. You will hear

a scream, similar to what Scatty and Crimson described when Raven summoned Khardimon. Then, the ghost of Quarhodron will spawn in front of you. Talk tohim and let him know about the Temple of Adanos being opened, using all conver-sation options until you find the option about the wisdom of the ancestors being overwhelming. He sees truth in your words, but before he will help you,you have to prove you're trustworthy in the cause.

He will ask you a series of questions, which need to be answered correctly before he will help you. The answers to the questions are revealed primarilyin the Lecterns at the Library of the Scholars in the Canyon, and from thestories you've heard from the Water Mages. Quarhodron will not tell you whichquestions you get wrong, so it can be a real pain to get them right. Thereare seven questions, each with six options. So, it would take a lot of trialand error to get them right. One of which, he tells you is impossible for youto answer.

To what caste do you belong?The Guardians of the Dead

Who once protected Jharkendar from enemy attacks?The Warrior caste

Who can give me a direct order?The Priests

Who brought the evil upon us?The Warrior caste

Who has the final word in the Council of Five?The Scholars

Who alleviates suffering and tends to the ill?The Healers

Who sealed the Portal to guard the world from Evil?There's no way I could know that

Most of them are common sense, especially if you payed attention to whatthe Water Mages told you. The tricky part is that it requires one option tobe used twice, which may have thrown some off. Anyway, those are the answersto his questions, and he will now agree to help you. Demand the key to theTemple of Adanos, thus starting the quest "The Chambers of the Temple". He willgive you 'Quarhodron's Stone Tablet' which when read at the doors will grantyou access to the Temple.

Return to Myxir and tell him that you successfully summoned Quarhodron for +400 EXP. He will send you to tell Saturas this information. Once you've hada talk with Saturas, you will finally be sent into the Temple after Raven.-> J.1.A.04

J.1.Q.11 - "The Chambers of the Temple"---------------------------------------The chambers in the Temple of Adanos have been rigged with traps, and you mustuse the Relics as clues to figure out how to navigate the chambers safely. Here is what each relic says:

Red: The Council of 5 made the chambers to keep the sword hiddenYellow: I, against the decision of the 3, built the first trapBlue: Khardimon made the second trap, only he who follows the way of light can pass it.

Purple: Quarhodron and Khardimon sealed the temple. Rhademes rots for eternity.Green: The third trap was built be Quarhodron, only he knows the way.

That being said, you can see for yourself how ambiguous they are, only one inparticular giving you any direct advice.

It's possible that the red one simply means that you shouldn't even be able toget into the temple. The yellow one could be in reference to Beliar, Adanos,and Innos, where the switches you would press are the 'followers of Beliar',the 'water of Adanos', and the 'light of Innos', but I'm not certain. Thepurple relic could be a hint that you need the help of Rhademes to get past it.And the green one, no idea; I've never gotten any information out of Quarhodronabout it, but it's fairly simple to get through.

This quest will remain active until you kill Raven.

J.1.C.5 - Riordian------------------Riordian, as informed by Saturas, can give you more information about the landsurrounding the temple.

J.1.P.02 - Geography--------------------When you ask Riordian about Jharkendar, he can tell you about the geography.To the north lies a desert-atmosphered canyon; to the south lies a dense,green valley with serpentine paths and cliffs; to the west lies the piratecamp; to the east lies the swamp and the bandit camp.

J.1.T.03 - Learning from Riordian *****---------------------------------Riordian can teach you alchemy and how to train your Will-o-the-Wisp.

Alchemy: Essence of Healing, Extract of Healing, Elixir of Healing, Elixir of Life Force, Essence of Mana, Extract of Mana, Elixir of Mana, Elixir of the Spirit.

Will-o-the-Wisp: 'Gold, Keys, Utensils: 2 LP' 'Long-Ranged Weapons, Ammunition: 1 LP'

J.1.Q.12 - "The Mansions of the Builders"-----------------------------------------Once you've activated two of the Teleporter Stones for Merdarion in "The Power of the Focus Stones", Saturas will tell you about the Mansions of theCouncil of Five. Riordian can tell you more. He will send you out to explorethe ancient mansions. You will find colored stone tablets in each one to giveto Saturas for "Relics".

- The Mansion of the Guardians of the Dead: the Valley From the Teleporter Stone in the Valley, cross the bridge near the Hermit's

house and follow the path down to the right. Follow that path as it winds down to the mansion at the base of a cliff. You will run into some Orcs at the bridge, along with a few Snappers and Mantises on the way. Deal with them however you see fit. At the entrance to the mansion is a Swamp Golem; be careful when fighting it, so that it doesn't punch you over the edge and into insta-death pitfalls. In the mansion are 6 zombies. Lure them individua- lly away and kill them. You can find the Purple Stone Tablet in a chest.

- The Mansion of the Priests: the Valley From the Teleporter Stone in the Valley, head directly south and follow the path until it comes to an end at the mansion at the base of a cliff. On the way you will run into some Grassland Scavengers, Harpies, and even an Orc Shaman, along with a few Goblin Warriors. The temple is loaded with Mine Crawlers; 8-12 of them. They're fairly simple to kill. You can find the Blue Stone Tablet in a chest.

- The Mansion of the Healers: the Swamp You will need to visit this mansion for the quest "The Stone Tablet in the Swamp", a quest you pick up in order to get into the Bandit Camp. From the Teleporter Stone in the Swamp, head south-southeast, being sure to stay in- between the bog to your left and the rock wall on your right. You will come to a path that leads up to the mansion with a few lizards out in front of it. At the top of the stairs and inside are several Stone Sentinels guarding it. Kill them, and find the Chest Key on one of their bodies to open the chest and obtain two Green Stone Tablets. One of them is for Franco, and the other is for Saturas.

- The Mansion of the Scholars: the Canyon From the Canyon Teleporter Stone, follow the left wall of the canyon until it branches out into a small extension in the north. There are several orcs out here, complete with orc tents. You will have to deal with these orcs for "The Orcs in the Canyon" that you get when you tell Riordian this, but you will need to kill at least the ones on the stairs to the Library. Inside you will run into some Stone Sentinels and a few Fire Devils (easily killed with two or three Ice Lance scrolls; they fight similar to Shadowbeasts). The door to the left is unlocked, and when explored you will find the Yellow Stone Tablet, along with Archery III, Life III, Strength III Tablets. The door to the right is locked, and requires the key from the Leader of the Orc Horde outside. In it, you can find a Cross Bow III Tablet, a Ring of Magic, a mana elixir of +3 mana, 3 Old Stone Tablets, and several valuable goodies. Be sure to read all of the Lecterns (provided you learned the Language of the Builders from Myxir or the Hermit) for +100 EXP per lectern. You will get the back-story of Jharkendar, summarized in [G.4].

- The Mansion of the Warriors: the North-East (Bandit Camp) This mansion is unlike the others in the fact that you can't just go to it. This mansion is beyond the Bandit Camp, so you have to first do all the quests to get into the camp and then into the mine. The actual mansion part that you have to visit before you can tell Riordian you've been there, is connected to the Temple of Adanos that you have to follow Raven through. When you've killed Bloodwyn and gotten access to the Temple, go straight, into the room with Raven's Henchmen (zombies). In here you can find a bunch of potions, some valuable treasure, and a King's Sorrel. The Red Stone Tablet of this mansion has to be acquired from Esteban.

For each mansion you visit, you can return to Riordian for +100 EXP. Once youhave visited all of them, you can tell this to Riordian for +300 EXP.

J.1.Q.13 - "The Orcs in the Canyon"-----------------------------------When you tell Riordian about the Orcs in front of the Library of the Scholarsin the Canyon, he tasks you with killing them; he'd rather not have them inthat area. If you haven't killed them already, re-visit the Canyon and killthem. Use the tips for killing orcs in the Guide [G.2]; try to pull them awayin groups and use cliff walls and tents for protection.

You can also bring a bunch of pirates down in "Razor Hunt" (J.3.Q.10) to killthem.

Once you've killed the Leader of the Horde, you can return to Riordian tocomplete the quest for +300 EXP.

J.1.C.6 - Merdarion-------------------He's got such a fascinating interest in teleporting.

J.1.Q.14 - "The Power of the Focus Stones"------------------------------------------Talking to Merdarion will get you this quest to activate the Portal stones infront of the Portal. When you look at the map, you notice there are ten bluedots; these mark the locations of the stones. As you see on the map, the fiveat the Portal are arranged in a pentagon; each port leads to a dot in the areathat it represtents in the pentagram. Thus, you can find the five portal dotsin the five areas of the map. He will give you a Focus Stone to place on apedestal near the stones to activate them.

These stones were used in the first Gothic originally to form the magic Barrierto keep the prisoners in. They were later collected by the Hero for the WaterMages to use on their large mound of magic ore, which they were going to useto try to blow up the Barrier. Apparently, they still have them.

The first to check-out is obviously the one in the Portal ruins that you camepast earlier. Go into the temple and place the Focus Stone on the pedestal upthe small incline and step onto the stone. It will take you back outside tothe pentagon. Tell Merdarion you used one of them for +500 EXP and +150g. Youcan then step back on the teleporter stone for another +100 EXP and a journalentry saying where it goes to.

The rest is soon told; go to the rest of the blue dots on the map one-by-one,putting each Focus Stone on the pedestal and returning to Merdarion for your+500 EXP and +150g rewards, then using the stones for the extra +100 bonuses.

The teleporter stone in the north-east, the Bandit Camp, requires more work toget to, since you have to complete the quests to get into the camp, and theninto the mine first (J.3.Q.1 & J.3.Q.5 -> J.3.Q.11).

When you've activated two of these, Merdarion tells you that Saturas needs totalk to you. You can talk to him to pick up "The Mansions of the Builders".

J.1.T.04 - Learning from Merdarion---------------------------------Merdarion can train you to increase your maximum mana.

J.1.C.7 - Alligator Jack------------------------Standing just outside the Portal Ruins to the west is Alligator Jack. Just byhis appearance, you can tell he's a pirate. When you get near him, he pulls you into conversation, pointing out that you're not like the others (the WaterMages). You can ask him about acquiring some Bandit Armor, and he will tellyou that they have or at least had a set in the Pirate Camp to the west. Uponbeing asked how to get there, he will offer to take you, but you'll have tohelp him first. See J.1.Q.13.

J.1.Q.15 - "Rat Hunt"---------------------Jack will ask your help in getting meat for the pirate camp. The only ediblething in the valley is the Swamp Rats, however disgusting that sounds. Whenyou are ready, he will set out to his favorite rat spot; The Hollow. Followhim through the cave tunnel and down the side-path along the lake. You'll getEXP for everything that he kills along the way. At the Hollow, you find a mere3 Swamp Rats, which is only about half of what Jack needs. He tells you thatthe next destination is the Canyon, a very dangerous place as he warns.

Go with him up to the Canyon; feel free to talk to Malcolm along the way; youcan save 100 gold on the entrance fee to the camp, and this may be about youronly chance to actually talk to him.

At the Canyon, you will kill a few more Swamp Rats. Once they're dead, he willgive you 10 chunks of meat, regardless of whether or not you got all the meatoff the corpses. This will give you the quest "Meat for Morgan", and put youright outside the Pirate Camp and one of the Teleporter Stones (just across the water in a small cave). You are rewarded +200 EXP.

J.1.A.2 - The Pirate Camp-------------------------This is the home destination of Skip and Greg, whom you met back in Khorinis.You can pick up a fair amount of quests and booty from these guys; it's alsogot a nice atmosphere and music. Before you can do any of the quests in theoverview, you will first have to get into the camp (J.2.P.1).

J.2.C.1 - Alligator Jack------------------------After you've completed "Rat Hunt" he's now sitting in a small hut/canopy tothe left of the Palisade gate where Henry stands. He's also found standing ashort ways out from the camp on the central trail.

J.2.Q.01 - "Meat for Morgan"----------------------------Directly after completing "Rat Hunt", Jack gives you 10 chunks of meat to take

to Morgan in the Pirate Camp. You can use this as a means to get a 100 coindiscount on your admission fee with Henry. When you're in, follow the shoreline around to the right and find Morgan lying on a cot. Wake him up, let himdrink his gin, and give him the meat for +200 EXP.

J.2.T.01 - Learning from Jack-----------------------------Jack can teach you how to pull teeth (3 LP), take animal skins (3 LP), andhow to wield a bow.

J.2.C.2 - Henry---------------Your first obstacle to getting into the camp. Whether you respond 'friend/foe'doesn't matter, you'll get the same quests and options afterwards. You canpick 60g off of him.

J.2.P.01 - Admission to the Camp-------------------------------Before you can go into the camp, Henry will charge you a hefty 500 gold, whichmight be chump change for you by now. There are, however, a few things thatcan be done to lower this price:

- Talk to Malcolm and get his message for Henry about the wood for -100g on the price.- Tell Henry you're delivering meat for Morgan for -100g on the price.- Kill the bandits in the Tower for -200g on the price. *

* You will get the opportunity to kill them later with a +200g reward, but you also get a new quest for killing the bandits after you've already joined the camp. The money comes up the same either way, but you can get some extra EXP if you wait.

Thus, you can get the price down to 100g, or 300g if you want the extra EXP. In the end, you come out 'paying' a total of 100g either way. Pay him and youare free to enter the camp.

J.2.Q.02 - "The Tower"---------------------You first pick up this quest when you ask Henry about the bandits just outsidethe camp. He advises you not to try to take them on yourself, since he'll besending two of his boys out there to deal with them soon. You can, however,go kill them yourself and return to Henry for +200 EXP and -200g on the priceto enter the camp. HOWEVER: if you wait until you've joined, you can take oneof the pirates with you, and will get a follow-up quest.

When you've already become a member of the Pirates, you can ask Henry to joinhis raiding troup, and he will task you with killing the bandits in the tower.You can take either the saw pirate or the hammer pirate - it doesn't matter.The only difference is the saw pirate will call you an asshole when you're doneand the hammer pirate will say you're 'all right'.

Go back down the path a ways and go up the hill to the tower. There are three

bandits here, each with a ranged weapon. So run at an angle so you don't gethit on the way there and kill them, they're fairly simple, espeicially witha pirate helper. Be careful not to aggro the mantises around to the side ofthe tower, who can make things messy real easily. You can loot an Ash Bow here.

When they're dead and you've had your chat with your pirate buddy, return toHenry for +200 EXP and +200g. This will let you get "Wood for the Palisade".

J.2.Q.03 - "Wood for the Palisade"---------------------------------You may have already heard from Malcolm that it will take a bit longer to getthe wood for the Palisade. Once you've completed "The Tower" you can ask Henryif there's anything else to be done, and he will send you to tell Malcolm - orrather Owen, to hurry up with the wood.

Follow the path back the way you came from the Portal Ruins to the spot whereyou saw Malcolm earlier. You'll notice he's no longer there. Climb up the rockstructures along the side of the cliff wall to get access to an elevated cave.Owen is sitting next to a fire.

Talk to him to find out about what happened to Malcom, starting another quest,"Malcolm" (J.2.Q.12). It's a rather simple quest, involving dropping down apitfall and finding out if Malcom is still alive or not. You'll have to do this before Owen will tell you about the wood.

Once you've done that, tell him your orders from Henry, and Owen will tell youthat he will send it to the camp 'sooner or later'. Go back to Henry and tellhim this for +300 EXP and +200g.

J.2.T.02 - Learning from Henry-----------------------------After you've asked around the camp about trainers, Henry will teach you how touse 2H weapons.

J.2.C.3 - Bones---------------There's not a lot of stuff with Bones, since he doesn't want to be disturbedbecause of his 'mission' from Greg. He refuses to even talk about it. Eventual--ly you will get the Medium Bandit Armor from him. You can pick 104g off ofhim. He will tell you about Morgan and Henry training you 1H and 2H skillsrespectively, and that Jack could teach you about hunting. He also suggestsSamuel (who doesn't really teach you anything, he may have meant Brandon, whotrains your STR/DEX).

J.2.C.4 - Garett----------------Garett is a merchant and the stock-holder of the Pirates. You can buy some things off of him, not much of it is particularly worthwhile, besides his Beltof Protection (+7 Weapon/Arrow defense). You can pick 55g off of him.

J.2.Q.04 - "Garett's Compass"----------------------------When you ask Garett to tell you more about Greg, you hear that he is a greedybastard who likes to take all the booty for himself. You can further inquireabout a golden compass that Garett mentions having had to give over to Greg,and he will tell you where he thinks it might be buried. He tells you that heoften saw Greg on the southern beach, and that Greg said 'Death himself watchesyour compass'.

From Garett, head to the sea and follow the shore to the left around the largejutting-out rock formation and you'll come to another beach. Here are somelizards and fire lizards, the latter of which might be devastating to fight.You can, however, take them out with some spell scrolls with moderate ease. Ifyou lack scrolls or simply want to save them, you can use the strategy forfighting them in the Tips section of this FAQ.

Continue following the beach around and you will come to a tree with a skeletonhanging from it, along with a red 'X' by the base of the tree. With a pick axein your inventory, dig-up the buried loot and you will find Greg's Compass. You can also explore the cave just past this, containing 3 zombies and theWarrior Amulet, along with a Ring of Skill (+3 DEX).

Return to Garett and give him his compass for +300 EXP and the Belt of Protect-ion. If you already bought it, he will refund your 1000 gold.

J.2.C.5 - Pirate Chef---------------------He doesn't have a name, but has some pretty nice information for you.

J.2.Q.05 - "Grog for the Cook"-----------------------------A very short and simple quest - when you talk to him, he'll tell you that he'sso very thirsty from being around the fire all day. Offer him a bottle of Grogthat you've likely come by (or buy some from Samuel) for +100 EXP.

J.2.P.02 - Wrecked Merchant Vessel---------------------------------If you've given the Chef Pirate a bottle of Grog, he will tell you that he hopes Greg gets back soon and gives someone else chef duty. He heard about amerchant vessel that hit a reef, and now all of its goods are washing up alongthe shore, and he wants to go loot it.

You can then go do so yourself. In order to find the goods the easiest, havethe mouse turned on and pull it under the water. You can see things within a15-20 foot distance like this. Or, you can more effectively pull it down towater-level so that the water rises and falls along the lens. Like this, whenthe water rises above the lens, you can see everything underneath clear as dayat a much greater distance than with it fully under.

If you go all along the shore, north and south, you can find: casket, skull,rum, gold chalice, pure mana potion, jewel casket, one lump of ore, silver

plate x2, and silver chalice x2.

J.2.C.6 - Brandon-----------------He's standing near the fire, usually talking to Matt.

J.2.Q.06 - "A Drink for Brandon"-------------------------------When you ask if he can teach you anything, he will hint that he wants someform of payment before you can learn from him. In true pirate nature, offer tobuy him a drink and he will agree. Try to give him some Grog, and he will getdisgusted at the notion. He wants something a bit stronger, one of Samuel'sspecial brews, the 'Hasty Herring'.

Go to Samuel's cave, north a bit up the beach. Ask him for something stronger,and choose to buy the 'Hasty Herring' - you will get to drink a free sample.Then buy one from him (you may want to buy a few for yourself, once you findout what it does) and bring it back to Brandon.

You probably noticed that you're running at double-speed now. The Hasty Herringhas the same effects as eating a plant of Snapperweed or drinking a Potion ofRun Speed. It seems to last about 2 minutes, and costs a paltry 30g, so it maybe wise to buy a few for yourself for those times when you have to cross a large distance that you've already explored/cleared.

Take the 'Herring back to Brandon for +100 EXP.

J.2.T.03 - Learning from Brandon-------------------------------Once you've completed "A Drink for Brandon", he will train your Strength andDexterity.

J.2.C.7 - Matt--------------You can't pick up any quests from him, but he can tell you that the banditsseem to be rolling in gold, and that they never paid for their last shipmentthat they bought from the bandits. You can talk to Skip about this for hisquest. You can pick 91g off of Matt.

J.2.C.8 - Skip--------------When you talk to Skip, he will remember you from Khorinis (assuming you talkedto him), but that he also recognizes your face on a Wanted Poster, the veryone you've already heard about from the Bandit on the path from Xardas' Towerand from Pablo.

You can tell him you saw Greg in Khorinis for +100 EXP

He can tell you that Garett will sell you some things; he won't take you toKhorinis, ever.

You can pick 43g off of him.

J.2.Q.07 - "Skip Has Run Dry"----------------------------Asking Skip about Angus and Hank, when you ask him about the bandits, willstart this quest. They were supposed to sell 20 bottles of Grog to the banditsbut never came back. Skip suspects they're dead. He tells you that Morgan andBill went out to look for them, but never found anything. You can then go toBill and Morgan and ask them about it.

Bill was good friends of theirs, and will tell you that they often hung out ata cave to the east of the camp. He will tell you to talk to Jack for more infoon the cave.

Morgan won't tell you much, other than Angus still had a ring that once wasMorgan's, that he'd like back (J.2.P.4).

Ask Jack, outside the camp, about the cave that Angus and Hank hung out at, and he will direct you to check out the Hollow that you visisted earlier. Godown the path to the Hollow at the lake. Swim into the water to some rocks onthe cliff wall to the right (if you're facing the lake). You'll notice you canclimb up them to a cave.

In the cave are the bodies of Hank and Angus, which you can get 2 old coinsand Morgan's Ring off of. Go back and confirm this news for Skip; he will tellyou go break the news (gently) to Bill, getting you "The Murderer of Anugs andHank" (J.2.Q.8).

As far as I know, the only way to complete this quest is to buy the Grog offof Samuel or Lucia (in the bandit camp), since Juan (who you later find outfrom various sources, is the one who killed Angus and Hank) doesn't have theGrog on him. Lucia does suspiciously have 20 bottles of Grog in her inventory,but you can't kill her and take them or anything.

Anyway, if you give Skip 20 bottles of Grog (whether or not they were the samethat were stolen from the pirates) for +200 EXP. Skip will also give you either200g or a Ring of Ore Skin, which you probably already have one or two of, andwill likely find more of in your quests; it's not worth much, I'd take the goldto pay for your fees of acquiring them, myself.

J.2.P.03 - Information on the Bandits------------------------------------Skip can tell you the most about the history of the bandits. The piratesbrought the bandits over on their boat (for a price, of course) originally, but the bandits set up a camp in the swamp and kept to themselves. They usedto trade with them, but they since haven't paid for their last shipment, andhave assumably done away with Hank and Angus, the delivery guys. Asking moreabout this will get you "Skip Has Run Dry".

J.2.C.9 - Bill

--------------Bill is sawing the wood for the Palisade, which he seems to think won't do anygood if the bandits actually did launch an attack. You can ask him where hecomes from, and he will inform you that he used to live in Khorinis, livingoff of lifting peoples' pockets, but later joined with the pirates to avoidconstantly running from the militia. You can pick 205g off of him.

J.2.T.04 - Learning from Bill----------------------------Once you've found out that he can pick pockets, he will teach you how for 10LPbut also warns that you'll need to be dexterous to succeed at it.

J.2.Q.08 - "The Murderer of Angus and Hank"------------------------------------------Once you've found the bodies of Angus and Hank in "Skip Has Run Dry", and youbreak the news to Bill, he will want the name of the guy who did it. In orderto find this out, you'll first need the Bandit Armor in order to talk to someof the bandits.

Once you have the Armor, go into the Swamp and find Logan; follow the firstlog bridge to Sancho, go straight past another log bridge to the islet withMiguel, turn left here and follow another log bridge to the alley with Logan.In a cave at his camp, you will meet Tom, a bandit with some issues.

Ask him what he's doing there, and he'll tell you a story that seems to matchup with what Skip was telling you earlier; he was good friends with some of the pirates and used to trade with them, and on his last deal, he was attackedby Juan, who killed the pirate traders. Juan took the goods from the piratesand chased after Tom, who was too fast for Juan to keep up with. These traderssound an aweful lot like Angus and Hank, eh?

If you return to Bill to tell him this, he will wish that this Juan suffered,and died. Now, you'll have to actually find this Juan. His cave is located inthe far east of the swamp, the most-eastern part of the map that you can see.Enter the cave, and you will see Juan and a generic Bandit chilling there. Talkto him, and he will assume you're an errand boy for Esteban, but that he won'tcough up the goods unless Huno or Fisk or Esteban or *someone* pays for them.Tell him you don't come on behalf of Esteban and engage him in combat. Oncehe's dead (the other bandit too, since he'll attack you for fighting Juan),go back to Bill and tell him this for +200 EXP.

Be sure to hold onto the two packages you got off of Skip, because they'll beused for a quest later on with Huno and Fisk.

J.2.C.10 - Morgan-----------------Morgan is the very lazy raid leader of the bandits. His job is to make surethe beasts around the camp don't get too close and to keep the pirates suppliedwith food. You can pick 43g off of him.

J.2.Q.09 - "The Northern Beach"

------------------------------Once you've given him the meat from Jack in "Meat for Morgan", you can askMorgan to join his raiding troup, and he will gladly let you in. Your firsttask is to clean the northern beach of the lurkers there.

Head up the beach from his 'hut' and kill the lizards and lurkers out there.If you return now, he will ask about the cave, which is also included in thenorthern beach. So, venture into the cave and you'll run into a shadowbeast.It may be too difficult for you, but it should be no problem if you use thestrategy in the Tips section of this FAQ.

Once the shadowbeast and the lurkers/lizards are dead, return to Morgan for+300 EXP and +150g.

J.2.P.04 - Morgan's Ring-----------------------You first find out about his ring when you pick up "Skip Has Run Dry", and hewants it back. You can find the ring on Angus' dead body in the cave at the lake at the Hollow (as part of Skip's quest). Return it to Morgan for +200 EXP.

HOWEVER, that is a very nice ring, adding +10% to your 1H skill. If you're using 1H weapons and want the ring, you can beat him up and take it back.

To do this without attracting the attention of any other pirates in the area,equip a bow and run to the water near the cannon and provisions there. Aim thebow at him by using the action button and he will threaten you to put it down.When you don't, he'll come to you, in which case you can equip your sword andknock him down, taking the ring, the meat you gave to him earlier, some gin, and his Double-Bladed axe from him.

J.2.T.05 - Learning from Morgan------------------------------As you heard from Bones, Morgan can teach you 1H combat.

J.2.C.11 - Samuel-----------------Samuel resides in a cave a small ways up the northern end of the beach, justpast Morgan's residence. You can buy plenty of alcoholic drinks from him. There isn't a whole lot of content with this guy, besides what you need to dowith him for other peoples' problems.

J.2.P.05 - Recipes for Samuel----------------------------Samuel is always looking for recipes for new brews; you can give him the recipefor Lou's Hammer and Lou's Double Hammer that you get from Snaf and Lou'sstash at the bandit camp for +100 EXP each. You can then take them back fromhim for free, when you ask him 'what else he has' to bring up his inventory.Both recipes will be there with no charge value on them. He will now also beable to make them, even if he doesn't have the hard copy of the recipe on him.

Lou's Hammer is used for the quest "Hammer Booze" (J.3.Q.7), and doesn't seem

to have any worthwhile effect when drunk. I haven't found any use for Lou'sDouble Hammer - I had thought I could use it to KO someone, like Scatty, forinstance, in J.3.P.10 - A Beer for Scatty, since its description says it willknock-out even the heaviest drinker. However, there doesn't seem to be any usefor the drink, besides the EXP from Samuel. If you drink it, it damages yourHP by 1/2 of the current value.

J.2.C.12 - Francis------------------Francis has been put in charge of the camp while Greg is out at Khorinis to get more loot. He doesn't serve much purpose in the game content besides gett-ing Greg's key to hit hut.

J.2.P.06 - Greg's Key--------------------In order to get the key to Greg's hut for "Bandit Armor" (J.1.Q.5), you willhave to first go through Francis. There are a few ways to get it, with anoptimum method for maximum EXP. The four ways:

1) Beat him up and take it from him (+300 EXP for the victory)2) Pick it off of him (+100 EXP)3) Pay him 2000g (+0 EXP)4) Trade it for his paybook (+0 EXP)

When you first talk to Francis and learn that he's guarding Greg's hut and hasthe key, you can ask Skip for advice; he tells you to ask Samuel, since heknows almost everything about everyone in the camp, and can likely tell you about some leverage to get over Francis. Samuel will tell you about somethingvery important of Francis' that he buried in one of the mines in the Canyon.

The mine in question is the first one you'll come to if you follow the rightwall of the canyon. You'll likely run into some Razors on the way, and the fewMine Crawlers inside. There is a red 'X' that you can dig up, one of the itemsyou come by is a 'Treasure Chest'. You can open it in your inventory to geta Paybook and 153 gold coins.

You can use the Paybook now and Francis will give you the key, but there is abetter way to do this. First, pick the key off of him, then beat him up (evenwithout the dialogue option to do so), then tell him about the Paybook. Now,without the key, will give you +500g to give it to him.

Now that you have the key, enter Greg's hut and loot everything: Iron SkinRing (weapon defense +3), 3 white rum, 135 coins, Greg's Log Book, silver plate, silver dish x2, silver chalice, silver candlestick, Message in a Bottle(when opened, contains a treasure map marking all the red 'X's), sextant,apple tobacco, gold candlestick, 50 old coins, 3 swampweed reefers, 5 goldnuggets, glacier quartz, 87g, 3 fish, and 200g in satchels.

When you're done, leave, and Greg will show up, kicking Francis off of his bench and asking if you've done any work.

J.2.C.13 - Greg---------------Once you've searched his hut, Greg will show up back in the pirate camp. When

you've dealt with the razors in the canyon in "Razor Hunt", you can ask himsome questions, like his ship and how he got here. Despite his attitude aboutWater Mages and a magic portal when you told him back at Dexter's camp, hewound up using it afterall.

J.2.Q.10 - "Razor Hunt"-----------------------Greg will want you to do some work for him, taking over Morgan's old job thathe never did any work with. He wants you to kill the razors in the canyon,five of which spawn fresh once Greg gets back. So, if you already cleared thecanyon, don't worry, there will be new razors to slay. You can, in theory,go kill them without having officially picked up the quest; if you do that,you will instantly get the option to tell Greg that you killed them all,without ever leaving. He will give you the Pirate Armor, which may very wellbe the best armor you've come by, if you haven't gotten the Crawler Plate Armor.

Razors are allegedly hard to kill, though they're probably a piece of cake foryou if you've taken the time to explore and build yourself up. At any rate, you can bring a few pirates with you if you think you'll need the help. You can bring: Brandon, Matt, Skip, Jack, Chef Pirate, and the Pirate on the benchacross from Garett.

Enter the Canyon and just keep an eye out for the razors. You should find all5 of them before you get to the overpassing bridge just past the Library. If the count-down meter says you missed some, go back, as you may have missed oneon the other side of a large boulder or something.

Once they're dead, the pirates will be ready to go back, but will stay withyou to hunt, so long as you keep within the Canyon. You can take them down tothe Orcs outside the Library if you haven't already killed them. When you'redone with them, though, tell each one to go back to the camp.

Return to Greg and report that you've killed all of the razors for +250 EXP.

J.2.Q.11 - "Spying on the Bandits"----------------------------------Having completed "Razor Hunt", Greg will decide that you're the best man tosend in to check what's up with the bandits. He needs to know what's going onover there, particularly why they're hanging around out there. He had original-ly planned to send Bones over there; go to him and get the armor from him for+200 EXP.

Equip it, and head to the swamp. Follow the log bridge you come to by follow-ing the main trail from the Poral Ruins until you get to the first outpostwith Sancho. You can talk to him and find out that Raven has a gold mine thereand that they have diggers mining the gold.

Return to Greg and tell him this for +200 EXP and a Warrior Ring.

J.2.C.14 - Owen---------------Owen is not actually in the pirate camp, but he's a member of their expedition

for palisade wood. You don't get to meet him until after you've joined thepirate camp. You can pick 30g off of him.

J.2.Q.12 - "Malcom"-------------------If you return to the spot that you met Malcolm and climb up the rock stairsto the side of the Tree Saw, you will bump into Owen. Talking to him, you willfind out that he and Malcolm were attacked by a lurker, so they scurried upinto the cave. The lurker followed them, and Malcolm started to fight it. Theythen both fell down a crevasse, and Owen hasn't heard or seen Malcolm since.You'll need to do this quest before Owen will tell you anything about the woodin "Wood for the Palisade"

Now for the fun part. Go to the back of the cave and drop into the crevasse.You'll fall a rediculously long distance, picking up +100 EXP for a 'StuntBonus' before hitting the water (be warned, if you do this multiple times, itwill deduct 100 EXP for sensing you trying to exploit unlimited EXP). Swimdown a bit and swim under a rock wall into an underground grotto, complete withone lurker and one deceased Malcolm.

Kill the lurker and loot Malcolm's body for a 2H combat III tablet, along withsome other goodies in the area, including some gold, gold nuggets, mushrooms,and rune-crafting materials. Continue past this grotto into the water and swimdown under another rock wall, and you will come out at the lake in the Hollow.

Return to Owen and tell him that Malcolm is dead for +300 EXP and the revelat-ion that Owen wasn't helping Malcolm to kill the lurker, and now wishes thathe did.

J.1.A.3 - The Bandit Camp-------------------------This place brings back a lot of memories if you played the first Gothic, dueto the fact that you run into so many old friends and enemies in here. A lotof the bandit camp is composed of ex-members of the Old Camp back in theColony. The camp has three 'levels': the hunters in the swamp, the camp distr-ict, and the mine/temple district. You'll have to work your way through thequests to get up to the mine and temple. Just a warning, you will be attackedby the bandits if you approach any of them whilst not wearing Bandit Armor.

It is possible to just fight your way up to the temple, killing every banditin sight, but that isn't as fun as playing the role and sneaking in. You geta lot more content out of the game if you play them with the Bandit Armor, andit is all-around much more enjoyable. You can come back later and kill any ofthem that you please for exp/loot, but try not to kill any that can be sparedfor now.

J.3.C.1 - Sancho----------------Sancho is probably the first person you'll run into of the bandits. He is standing at the first islet on the way to the bandit camp from the PortalRuins. You can pick 40g off of him.

J.3.P.01 - The Camp------------------Sancho tells you a lot about the camp's structure, particularly that you can'tgo straight to the gold mine - you have to first work for Franco before youcan go in. He mentions that Franco got the job by killing Fletcher, the oldleader of the Hunters (Fletcher was a vendor for the Guards in the Old Camp).This foreshadows what you will have to do to get into the camp.

You also find out about the gold mine; this you can tell Saturas and Greg for+100 and +200 EXP respectively

J.3.C.2 - Miguel----------------Miguel is standing at the second islet, just past Sancho, to the bandit campentrance. Miguel tells you about his history, working for Ignaz the alchemist.He liked to experiment with brewing mind altering potions, and one day Ignazdrank one of them by mistake, and that has since rendered him unpredictable.For this, Miguel was cast into the Barrier (though we never did meet him in G1). Remember this, because you'll need to talk to him about a mind-restoringpotion for Fortuno (J.3.Q.6). You can pick 48g off of him.

J.3.P.02 - Miguel's Inventory----------------------------Miguel can sell you some potions if you need them.

J.3.C.3 - Franco----------------Franco is the leader of the Hunters; the people who do chores in the swampuntil Thorus calls for more diggers. You'll eventually have to kill him toget into the camp, but hold off on this; you can get extra experience by doinghis tasks before finally killing him. You can pick Franco's Amulet off of him(+4 STR/+4 DEX/+40 Life), which you'll eventually get when you kill him, butyou can get EXP for this.

J.3.Q.01 - "Forward (Into the Bandit Camp)"-----------------------------------------You'll have to mess with this quest to get into the Bandit Camp. Before youcan get in, Franco will have a few tasks for you. 1) Help Logan with theSwampsharks, and 2) Get him a green stone tablet. You can tell him to give youone NOW, which will engage him in combat; if you kill him, good game, you'llhave to later, but it's best to hold off. First, he will send you to Ramon tosee if Thorus needs a new person. Ramon will confirm this; go back to Francoand tell him. He will first send you to help Logan.

Each part has its own separate quest: J.3.Q.2 - "Swamp Shark Hunt", and J.3.Q.3- "The Stone Tablet in the Swamp".

First go to Logan and tell him that Franco sent you; he will tell you that thetwo of you are going to kill some swampsharks. When you say that you're ready,3 sharks will spawn near the edge of his slab of land to the north (you willhear the bellow of the sharks when they do). Kill them and report back to Franco for task #2 and +200 EXP.

For the second, he sends you to Edgor to get a green stone tablet. To get toEdgor, go back to Sancho and turn left to cross the log bridge. Edgor and abandit will be sitting around or near a small campfire. Talk to him and findout that he hasn't gotten it yet. As you will have to do in "The Mansions ofthe Builders" (if you haven't already) you have to go explore the mansion inthe south (easily found in the SE on your map). Explore that ruin, get the green tablets (one for Saturas and one for Franco) and a Ring of the Priests,and return to Franco for +200 EXP.

When you ask if you can finally get in, he will say 'no', and that Logan wasnext on the list so he goes in now. Not to mention, he'd also like to keep youaround, since you've been more helpful to him than any other person out there.You'll get a response to fight him - do so, and kill him. Other bandits won'tinterfere.

Go talk to Ramon for +500 EXP, and he will tell you to take over Franco's job.You'll bargain with him to have Thorus send one of his guys to take over theposition so that there will be a slot open for you. Thus, you get entrance intothe lower Bandit Camp.

J.3.C.4 - Logan---------------From the entrance to the Lower Bandit Camp (where you meet Franco), go towardsMiguel and turn right on his islet. Follow the log bridge to a strip of landwith a small camp site, and you will find Logan. You can pick 50g off of him.

J.3.Q.02 - "Swamp Shark Hunt"----------------------------Talking to Logan will get you the task to help him kill the swampsharks. You'llhave to do this for Franco if you haven't picked up the quest, but don't worryif you haven't. If you've already killed them with Logan, you can instantlytell Franco you've done it, without having to leave. Swampsharks are constantlygetting closer and closer to Logan's camp site, and he needs help fending themoff.

Whenever you're ready, tell him to get going, and 3 swampsharks will spawn just north a bit. Go with Logan and slay the swampsharks. There is no rewardfor this quest, besides Logan teaching you tricks about hunting.

J.3.T.01 - Learning from Logan-----------------------------After completing "Swamp Shark Hunt" Logan can teach you how to skin animals(5 LP), remove claws (3 LP), and remove teeth (3 LP).

J.3.C.5 - Tom-------------Tom is in the cave at Logan's camp site. You can pick 52g off of him.

J.3.P.03 - Tom's Problem-----------------------While not a documented quest, it is still an EXP-rewarding task that you canfulfill. Talk to Tom and find out about his troubles with Juan; he was in goodconnections with the pirates and often ran trading deals for the other banditswith them. One day, Juan popped out of the background and attacked Tom and thepirates, killing the two pirates, taking the goods, and chasing after Tom.

His dilemma is that he can't go back into the camp, not while Esteban is stillaround; Juan was working for Esteban, and so now Esteban will surely punishTom for his dealings with the pirates. He tells you that Fisk and Huno bothhad shipments that he was going to pick-up.

After you've completed "Attempted Murder" (J.3.Q.5) and killed Esteban, youcan return to Tom and tell him that Esteban is dead for +100 EXP. He will nowbe found standing in Snaf's Tavern with Logan.

J.3.C.6 - Edgor---------------Edgor is sitting at a camp site southeast of Sancho. You can pick a heavy 7goff of him.

J.3.Q.03 - "The Stone Tablet in the Swamp"-----------------------------------------As a part of Franco's chores, you can tell Edgor that you were sent to get thegreen stone tablet from him. Edgor will tell you that he hasn't even been totry to get it, because he knows how dangerous old ruined buildings in the swampare. He will *attempt* to tell you where it is, but has since forgotten. If you look on your map, you will see quite obviously a small path leading to aruined building in the southern end of the swamp; that's the destination.

Go there, fighting the lizards at the base of the mansion and the stone senti-nels inside. One of them has a chest key on it which opens the chest betweenthe two burial caskets. Open the chest and loot the Green Stone Tablets (onefor Saturas and one for Franco), along with a Ring of the Priests in the tomb.

You can return to Edgor and tell him you got it, and he will commend your bravery. Bring the stone to Franco for +200 EXP.

J.3.T.02 - Learning from Edgor-----------------------------Edgor can teach you how to remove bloodfly wings (100g, 5 LP), how to removestingers (100g, 5 LP), and how to get the secretion from the stingers. He hatesbloodflies even more than he hates Franco.

J.3.C.7 - Senyan----------------The first person you'll bump into in the camp, Senyan is standing outside thetavern. You can pick 88g off him.

J.3.Q.04 - "A Fatal Situation"-----------------------------Senyan will recognize your face as what's been floating around on the wantedposters and will strike a deal with you; in short, he'll turn you over to thecamp if you don't agree to it. Agree to it, for now he'll just send you toEsteban to talk to him about a murderer.

Once you've had your chat with Esteban and picked up "Attempted Murder", goback Senyan, and he will give his final ultimatum: figure out who the murdereris and let Senyan pocket the reward. Since there is no real reward for this,and you'll need to knock-off one of Esteban's guys in order to get Emilio totalk, say 'no' and kill him. He'll shout something to the camp, but no one willattack you, so you're safe. If you agree to it, you can still turn around andkill him anyway, except you'll have the quest sitting idly in your log, unableto be finished until you kill Raven and 'complete' all the idle quests. No bigdeal.

J.3.C.8 - Esteban-----------------Esteban is basically the 'leader' of the Lower Camp. He works jointly withThorus for keeping the mine supplied with diggers. So when Thorus needs someoneEsteban picks from the people in the lower camp, usually picking people whohe can extort gold from. This is ruining business for the merchants in the lower camp.

J.3.Q.05 - "Attempted Murder"----------------------------This is the major quest of the lower camp. Go talk to Esteban and he will threaten you right off the bat that you'll meet a quick death to his bodyguardsif you try anything tricky with him. He will task you with finding out who wasbehind the attempt on his life (his bodyguards killed the actual attacker, butthis person supposedly couldn't have thought of that himself, so Esteban thinkssomeone put him up to it).

In order to get a Red Stone that will enable you to get past Thorus, you willneed to eventually kill Esteban, but play along and do his quest for extraEXP and fun factor. He says he won't send you in to the mine to dig gold for him since you know nothing about it, or picked up a few tricks from Finn &Lennar; if he were to, it's because you're helpful and he can extort you.

To do this quest, you'll have to ask around and find out who's on Esteban'sside and who's not. Snaf is the first person you should talk to, because hecan tell you stuff about nearly every person in the camp (for a price, or freeif you get him a bottle of Lou's Hammer in "Hammer Booze"). Here's what Snafwill tell you:

Finn is pro-EstebanLennar doesn't appear to think at allSenyan is pro-EstebanEmilio 'wouldn't bring flowers to Esteban's funeral'Fisk is against Esteban

Paul is against EstebanHuno - Snaf doesn't know anything about him

Snaf can also tell you your chances of finding the guy; in short, if you dosomething good or bad. If you tell Finn that you're working for Esteban, yousupposedly have lower chances because the guy will be more careful around you;if you kill Senyayn, he will be more open with you since you knocked off oneof Esteban's guys. Snaf mentions that the person who wants Esteban dead is most definitely in the camp at the present time.

Now, it's time for you to talk to people and investigate:

Fisk: Ask him about the murder, and he will say that he doesn't know anything, and that he's a victim himself, getting you the quest "A Package of Lockpicks" (J.3.Q.10). He himself won't be able to help you much at all with the quest at this point. You can talk to him about Juan working for Esteban, and he will admit that Esteban is hurting the trade for the merchants, but to keep quiet about it.

Lennar: Lennar will babble some story about Emilio having been working his butt off in the mine, but since the attack he's been sitting on his bum. He suspects Emilio wanted to replace Esteban with one of his friends so that he could run the businesses himself.

Emilio: Ask him about it, and he will say he doesn't know anything. Tell him Lennar's story, and he will simply say that Lennar is an idiot. When you kill Senyan, Emilio will engage you in conversation and will finally admit that he doesn't like Esteban, and will give you one name to go to: Huno.

Finn: You can ask him, and he'll ask you why you want to know. If you tell him stuff about wanting to conspire to take down Esteban, he won't have any part of that and won't tell you anything. If you tell him Esteban wants the guy dead, he will realize you're on the boss's side and will tell you that Huno wasn't in his place at the smithy when the attack happened. This will establish you in the open as working for Esteban, but it won't matter much.

Paul: You can ask him about the murder, and he will tell you he doesn't know anything. He himself doesn't care much for Esteban, since he wasn't able to get into the mine at the start, and since then he's been stuck working with Huno and not in the mine. Once you've gotten Huno's name from Emilio or Finn, you can press him about Huno since he works for him. You'll have to talk to him several times, and eventually he will say that Huno has a bone to pick with Esteban because he's ruining business and likely stealing Huno's trade goods.

Logan: You can ask him, but since he was in the swamp at the time that the attack took place, he really doesn't know anything.

Lucia: Lucia will say that she doesn't know anything.

Huno: When you first ask Huno, he will say that he doesn't know anything. Once you've gotten at least two references to his name, you can tell him that people have been talking about him and you will get the option to either tell him he's going to pay for it, or that you want to team up to take out Esteban. Take the latter option, and you will have to prove your trustfulness in this matter by getting him his package of steel that he suspects Esteban had stolen to sell to Huno at a higher price. You can agree to help him, thus getting "Huno's Steel" (J.3.Q.9) or that he should set you up with the guy NOW, or you will have a chat with Esteban about him. When you complete "Huno's Steel" or convince him to tell you straight away, he tells you to go to Snaf and you'll meet with the guy at the tavern.

Talking to Snaf will get you +500 EXP, and he will direct you upstairs to meetup with the guy. Go upstairs and you'll run into Fisk. Talking to him, you findout that he wants Esteban out of the way so that he can no longer ruin both thetrade business and extort gold out of his diggers of choice, which are the onlyones he lets into the mine in the first place.

You can tell him that you will turn him over to Esteban, but he will tell youthat you won't be rewarded with a Red Stone for that; he has a better plan.You are to tell Esteban that you've done your job, and that Fisk was in factbehind it. Esteban will send his guards to take care of Fisk and you can thenkill Esteban one-on-one; Fisk will deal with the guards.

Go back to Esteban and tell him this; he will of course send his bodyguardsaway to meet Fisk at the tavern. When you ask him for your reward for findingthe guy behind the murder, the Red Stone pass into the mine, he will not giveyou one, and had never intended to give you one. He wants to keep you in thelower camp to keep doing tasks for him. Tell him you're going to give him whatfor and he will try to sick his guards on you.... which aren't there anymore.Kill him for +300 EXP, being sure to take the 5 Red Stone Tablet off of him(one for you, one for Saturas, and 3 for Thorus' Quest).

Go back to Fisk and tell him this news for +100 EXP. You can tell Tom to finishTom's Problem (J.3.P.3). Go to Thorus to try to get into the mine and you willpick up his quest "Three Stones - Three Diggers" (J.3.Q.11).

J.3.C.9 - Finn--------------Finn is standing around the main camp fire. You can pick 50g off of him.

J.3.P.04 - Mining Tips---------------------Besides his use in "Attempted Murder", when you ask Finn if there's anythingyou should know about mining, he will give you a tip that will increase yourmining efficiency by +10%

J.3.C.10 - Lennar

-----------------Lennar has his own small hut outside the main campfire. You can pick 100g offof him.

J.3.P.05 - Mining Tips---------------------You can ask Lennar for advice on mining, and his logic will be that in himtelling you, you will be able to earn more gold, and thus he should get a shareof that extra gold. He wants 50 gold pieces up front. Give him the gold for+10% mining skills.

J.3.C.11 - Fortuno------------------Fortuno is another Sect Camp loonie like Lester and Angar. His job back in theSwamp Camp was to distribute the daily rations of swampweed reefers to campmembers. I believe he may have also had some sort of apprenticeship with CorCalom, the alchemist of the camp. He will speak unintelligibly until you dohis quest "Mental Meanders" (J.3.Q.6). You can pick 25g off him.

J.3.Q.06 - "Mental Meanders"---------------------------Fortuno's mind is going crazy, and he needs your help. When you offer to help,he tells you something about a 'green novice'. If you have some swampweed cigson you, you can offer that, which he'll smoke and say isn't what he needs.Look in the chest next to him labled 'Fortuno's Chest' and take the recipe fora Green Novice from it.

Now that you have the recipe, read it so you know what is needed and to be able to select it when you use an alchemist's bench. You'll need two swampweedplants and one meadow knotweed. Roll the reefer at an alchemist's bench. Youcan smoke them yourself for +10 EXP, but it's not worth it. Take the GreenNovice back to Fortuno for +250 EXP.

Fortuno's mind will no longer be tormenting him, but when you ask him what hecan recall, he can't remember anything. Looks like there's still some more tobe done. Talk to Miguel, the herbalist and potion-brewer just outside the campin the swamp. Ask him what he knows about mind-altering potions (since he wasinitially thrown in the barrier for this sort of thing) and he will provide you with a recipe for a Mind-Restoration potion. He warns you that it can befatal if ingredients are improperly used, and to be extra cautious.

You'll need two secretions from bloodfly stingers, one mana extract, one essan-ce of healing, and one red tear pepper for the potion. You can learn how totake the secretion from bloodfly stingers from Edgor (cost of 100g and 5 LP),or, learn it for free from a note in the castle in the Valley of Mines in thebuilding that Garond is in. The red tear pepper can be bought from Zuris inKhorinis for 100g, as well as a few other obscure vendors.

Once you've made the potion, give it to Fortuno for +250 EXP. Continue to askhow he's doing after the potion for another +250 EXP. His memory has been restored, and he tells you about the fall of the barrier and how everyone went

crazy. He was taken in by Raven to help decipher runes and such, but once Ravenhad gotten all he needed out of Fortuno, he slipped memory-wiping drugs intoFortuno's appetite and thus caused him to lose his memory. Raven is apparentlytrying to get into the Temple of Adanos and has desecrated the shrine of adeceased warrior in order to gain access to the temple.

Fortuno will now buy swampweed plants from you for +10g and +100 EXP per plant.

J.3.C.12 - Snaf---------------Snaf was the chef for the diggers and shadows back at the Old Camp. He can give you information about the attempt on Esteban's life once you've pickedup "Attempted Murder". You can pick 56g off of him.

J.3.Q.07 - "Hammer Booze"------------------------When you ask Snaf 'what's on the menu?', he'll tell you Fire Strips in a HammerSauce. Accept the quest to get Snaf some Hammer Sauce, because he already hasthe Fire Strips, but lacks the ingredients for the Hammer Sauce. He'll giveyou the recipe for Lou's Hammer, which is what he needs. It will require onelab flask, two turnips, one swampweed plant, one set of swampshark teeth, andone white rum.

The turnips can be bought from Fisk (there are a few lying around the camp near Fisk and upstairs above the tavern, also). You can learn how to take theteeth from Swampsharks off Logan for 3 LP. They're quite valuable, so it maybe worthwhile if you want some spare cash. However, you can find a tooth byitself, without having to learn the skill. To find it, go to Juan's cave in thefar East. While facing the cave, follow the wall closely as it leads away fromthe cave to the right. You'll pass inbetween the wall and a large tree quitesoon. Next to a small tree stump, just past the large tree (it's right beforesome old ruined pillars in a small pass between the cliffs) is a swampsharktooth. Once you have everything, take it to an alchemist's bench and brew Lou'sHammer.

Or, you can give the recipe to Samuel for +100 EXP at the cost of 30g. Oncedrunk, Lou's Hammer will give you a permanent +1 MANA, but only once. Bring the Hammer back to Snaf for +150 EXP and some Fire Strips (+1 STR). He'll nowgive you free information about Esteban's attacker in "Attempted Murder". Notethat you can take the recipe back from Samuel for free if you look in his inv-entory; there's no value on the recipe, so it's no cost to get back if you want it.

J.3.P.06 - Lou's Stash---------------------There is as note by the door at the back of the Tavern which informs you thatLou has gone missing, probably got eaten by a swampshark. Problem is, he hadthe key to the storeroom. Thus, if you can find the key, you get access to thestoreroom, which has a fair amount of loot to take.

Go to Logan's camp, to the right when leaving the Bandit Camp. Continue pasthis strip of land into the swamp. One of the swampsharks here is the one thatate Lou. If you killed it already, its corpse should still be there for youto inspect and take the key off of. If you haven't killed it already, startkilling until you find the one that has the key.

Once you have the key, return to the tavern and open the door. You can find alot of valuable loot, including: gold candlestick, silver chalice, silver dish,gold chalice, and the recipe for Lou's Double Hammer.

J.3.C.13 - Lucia----------------Lucia, the whore from the Red Lantern brothel at the Khorinis harbor, is nowserving booze at Snaf's tavern in the Bandit Camp at Jharkendar. You can buysome alcohol off of her. You can pick 100g off of her.

J.3.Q.08 - "Lucia"-----------------This quest started quite a while ago, back in Khorinis when you rescued Elvrichfrom the bandits (K.3.Q.14). Ask her if she's from Khorinis for +100 EXP andthe final completion of this quest. You can then continue to talk to her aboutthe Paladins and how they're chosen of Innos and his warriors. She won't bereturning to Khorinis because of the Paladins, and has no interest in Elvrichbecause he's a coward; according to her, when the bandits attacked, he didn'tlift a finger to save her. You can buy a +10 DEX accessory from her if youdesire one.

J.3.T.03 - Learning from Lucia-----------------------------Lucia can teach you how to increase your DEXTERITY.

J.3.C.14 - Huno---------------Huno was the blacksmith for the diggers and shadows back at the Old Camp. Hetells you the story of when the barrier fell, and how most people didn't survi-ve the fall. He was rescued by Raven, and has since taken service with him, inpart as a repayment of debt for his life. You can pick 102g off of him.

J.3.P.07 - Huno's Inventory--------------------------Huno can sell you some weapons (though they're all fairly week), a pick-axeif you don't already have one (which you'll need in order to get free moneyonce you're in the mine), and most importantly, Heavy Bandit Armor (50/50 def).He'll charge 2100g for it, unless you've finished "A Package of Lockpicks" inwhich case he'll sell the armor to you for 1400g. He's got a +10 STR accessorythat you can purchase if you desire one.

J.3.Q.09 - "Huno's Steel"------------------------You pick this quest up when working on "Attempted Murder" (J.3.Q.5). Once youhave two references to Huno's involvement in the attempted assassination, youcan press him about it. When you get the option to turn him over to Esteban,or to help get rid of Esteban, choose the latter. He'll give you a chance toprove yourself by getting his steel delivery, which he believes Esteban hadfilched in order to sell back to Huno at a higher price.

You get the clue as to who's been making off with merchants' things from Fiskwhen you ask him about Esteban. At any rate, you'll have to wind up going toJuan in the far East of the swamp in a lone cave. Talk to him and he'll tellyou to go get the money from Esteban before he'll do anything. Tell him you'renot working for Esteban and he'll attack you. You'll have to kill him at somepoint to get the steel for Huno and lockpicks for Fisk, so go ahead and killhim (be mindful that the other bandit will attack if you fight Juan). When heis dead, loot his body and take the shipments.

Return to Huno and give him the steel for +200 EXP.

J.3.C.15 - Fisk---------------Fisk was a general-supply merchant back at the Old Camp, supplying weapons,armor, tools, and ore to diggers and shadows. He's behind Esteban in the upperright section of the camp.

J.3.P.08 - Fisk's Inventory--------------------------Fisk really doesn't have much, although he has some key things that you couldneed for various tasks like brewing Lou's Hammer and combat neccessities. Hehas two new weapons to NotR, the Storm Cudgel and Wind Cudgel, both of whichare fairly lame because they're probably far weaker than what you have by nowand have -10% malus to your 1H/2H skill.

J.3.Q.10 - "A Package of Lockpicks"-----------------------------------When you ask Fisk what he knows about the attempt on Esteban's life, he willmention him being a victim himself; someone obscondered with a package oflockpicks that were supposed to be delivered to him. You can offer to get itback for him. He's mentioned that Juan probably had a hand in it, so you'llhave to go find Juan to get his lockpicks.

Juan's cave is in the far East of the swamp, in a lone cave. Talk to him, andhe'll tell you to have Esteban send the money before he'll do anything. Tellhim you're not working for Esteban and he'll attack you. You'll have to killhim to get the packages, so go ahead and finish him off. Note that the otherbandit will attack you if you fight Juan. Once Juan is dead, take the packagesoff of him and return to Fisk.

You'll be rewarded +200 EXP and a discount on Heavy Bandit Armor (50/50) if you tell Huno about Fisk's discount, for 1400g. If you're a mage, he'll alsogive you a blank runestone.

J.3.C.16 - Stew Pot Bandit--------------------------Standing at the stew pot in the lower-camp, just before the stairs up to themines, is a nameless bandit, whom you might easily overlook due to his lack ofa name.

J.3.P.09 - Meat Stew-------------------If you talk to the bandit at the stew pot, he will give you some 'meat stew'which he says puts muscle on you. When you eat it, you get +1 STR, but he onlygives you one.

J.3.T.04 - Learning from the Bandit----------------------------------The stew pot bandit can train your STRENGTH.

J.3.C.17 - Skinner------------------Skinner is sleeping in a small hut to the side of Snaf's tavern, near the stewpot bandit. You don't have much that you can do with him, because he'll attackyou if you wake him up, as warned by the stew pot bandit if you get too closeto him.

J.3.P.10 - Betty----------------Skinner has the sword 'Betty', which is the strongest-damaging Dexterity-basedsword available. It requires 110 DEX and deals 130 damage, equal to the OrcSlayer. It does 10 more damage than the Master Sword, but does not have the +10% bonus to 1H skills, and requires almost double the DEX, so it's not quiteas much bang for your buck as the Master Sword is.

J.3.C.18 - Thorus-----------------Thorus was the leader of the Guards back at the Old Camp. You can talk to himabout the fall of the barrier and all of that. He's located at the top of thepyramid-esque stairs leading up to the mine. He's the one who admits people into the mines, and he needs a red stone tablet. If you offer him any other colorhe won't admit you.

The chest in his quarters is locked; the key to unlock it is on Thorus. Wait until after you've killed Raven and you can kill Thorus, take his key, and getaccess to 250g, and 24 gold nuggets.

J.3.Q.11 - "Three Stones - Three Diggers"-----------------------------------------After completing "Attempted Murder" and acquiring 5 Red Stone Tablets fromEsteban, talk to Thorus about getting in to the mines. Having killed Esteban,Thorus will still not let you in, because you now have to take up Esteban'sduties. If you complete his job, then you'll be allowed in.

Your task is to find 3 replacement diggers for the mine; give them a red stonefrom the pile you took from Esteban to let them in. There are 5 that you canchoose from, some of which have different benefits:

Lennar: +150 EXP, +10% miningFinn: +150 EXP, +10% miningLogan: +150 EXPPaul: +150 EXP, 2 lumps of OreEmilio: +150 EXP

Logan and Emilio obviously aren't that rewarding, but if you want to be moral,you should return the favor to Logan to get him into the mine. Once they're init doesn't really matter, so just pick based on what you think will benefityou most.

Return to Thorus once you've given out 3 Red Stone Tablets, and he'll rewardyou with +100 EXP and will finally admit you into the upper district, includingthe gold mine and the Temple of Adanos.

J.3.C.19 - Gate Guard---------------------The nameless gate guard. He doesn't have much to say, but he's a place-holdercharacter for getting into the temple.

J.3.Q.12 - "Access to the Temple"---------------------------------Having finally gotten into the upper district of the Bandit Camp, trying tofollow Raven into the temple will only result in an abrupt end. The Gate Guardwill not allow you to go in the temple without permission from Bloodwyn, whodoesn't usually come out of the temple, except to inspect new veins of gold inthe mine (hint hint).

Once you're in the mine, you can clear out a horde of mine crawlers who havetaken over an entire section of the mine. Upon doing this, Bloodwyn will comeout to inspect the new vein. Talk to him, irritate him, and get in a fight withhim. Once he's dead, you can loot his head from his inventory.

Go back to the Gate Guard and show him Bloodwyn's head; he'll let you in to thetemple without any resistance.

Now that you're in, follow the halls to the first intersection. At the corner,you should see a chest, which requires Bloodwyn's Key to open. In it, is theArmor for Raven's Guards, perhaps the strongest armor you've yet to come by,unless you've gotten the Crawler Plate Armor.

If you continue straight, you'll come to a tomb-esque room, loaded with Raven'sHenchmen, undead zombies with high weapon defense. You can kill them off thesame way you would kill regular zombies, just be sure to try to lure them overone by one, or at least in smaller groups. In this room, you can find: a King's

Sorrel, Gold Dish, Silver Dish, and several potions.

If you turn right at the fork in the temple, you will come to the door thatleads further into the temple, but you will be stopped by an FMV. Raven praysin front of the door and then steps through it, sealing it shut behind him.

Return to Saturas and tell him this to recieve the quest "The Power of theGuardians of the Dead" (J.1.Q.9) with Myxir and +100 EXP.

J.3.C.20 - Scatty-----------------Scatty was the guards' merchant back at the Old Camp. He's now continuing hismarketeering business in the mine, selling necessities for mining. You cantalk to him about Raven, and find out more about him and Bloodwyn, and he'llmention that you remind him of some other 'inquisitive fellow' who bit-the-dustback when the barrier fell (but of course, you're there in front of him, hejust doesn't know who you are). You can pick 90g off of him.

J.3.P.11 - Scatty's Stock-------------------------Scatty doesn't have much to offer, besides general supplies: potions, food,ammunition, etc. You might need a pick-axe if you haven't yet gotten one frommany numerous other places.

J.3.P.12 - Mining Tips----------------------Ask Scatty if he can give you any tips on mining, and he can add +5% to yourefficiency.

J.3.T.05 - Learning from Scatty------------------------------For 2 LP, Scatty can teach you another 10% efficiency in mining. You can getup to 90% without ever having to use LP's, but if you wish to get the full 100%then feel free to use them. It's my opinion that money is easier to come bythan LP, though.

J.3.P.13 - A Beer for Scatty----------------------------While explaining what happened to Raven, Scatty will say that his throat isreally dry, but will continue to talk if you insist. After he's done with hismonologue on Raven, you can get him a 'Beer' (just regular beer, no other alco-holic drink will do) for +500 EXP. There is actually one in the vacinity ofScatty, near a support pillar that you can pick up and hand to him.

J.3.C.21 - Crimson------------------He's the gold smelter, in his own small alcove on the path down to the bottomarea.

J.3.P.14 - Gold Smelting------------------------Crimson can smelt the gold nuggets you acquire into gold coins. He can makeone nugget into 10 coins; while it is a special deal for you, everyone is special to him.

J.3.C.22 - Garaz----------------In a side-path from the main trail down to the lower quarters, you will findGaraz, guarding a lone slave-worker.

J.3.P.15 - The Crawler-Infested Vein------------------------------------Garaz will inform you that the trail down the shaft is infested with minecrawlers. He has no problem with you going down there, but that if you comeback missing a few limbs, it's not like he didn't warn you.

You've got incredible experience in the extermination business by now, so feelfree to go down and clear-out the mine crawlers. You'll get a bonus +500 EXPonce you've killed the final one. Return to Garaz and tell him you've killedall of the mine crawlers; he'll tell you that Bloodwyn is on his way ("that'swhat you wanted, right?"). He also tells you not to irritate Bloodwyn, as hehas a short temper.

Follow Bloodwyn down into the new vein and begin to talk to him. No matter whatyou do, you'll wind up fighting him, so just have fun with the conversation.Kill him and loot his body for his head and key. You can tell Garaz that youslayed Bloodwyn for +100 EXP. You will need his head for "Access to the Temple"(J.3.Q.12) and "Raven's Slaves" (J.3.Q.13.b).

J.3.C.23 - Patrick------------------Cord's buddy patrick is the leader of the slaves from Khorinis. Most of theothers will direct you to him about trying to get them out. Patrick seems tostill have his spirit and is anxious to get out, but unsure of how to do it.

J.3.Q.13.b - "Raven's Slaves" -----------------------------Patrick tells you that they've already attempted an escape: William made a runfor it, but didn't survive. Since then, they've been kind of reluctant to tryto get out. The only way they'll make an attempt is if the Slave Guard letsthem out without struggle.

Talk to the Slave Guard and he'll tell you he can't do anything without wordfrom Thorus and Bloodwyn. Thus, you'll have to convince them first.

You'll first need to deal with Bloodwyn before you can talk to Thorus aboutthis. In order to get 'Bloodwyn's Authorization', talk to Garaz for the point"The Crawler-Infested Vein" (J.3.P.15). Once you've dealt with Bloodwyn, go

back up to the 'courtyard' to find Thorus out waiting for you.

Thorus will question what you've been up to, having watched you systematicallykill-off each officer in the camp. He wonders who's next, him or Raven? He tells you how much having comradery means to him, not being able to set footin towns where he could get a sense of community. Tell him that you'll killRaven, and that Thorus can then take over the camp and make it something worth-while. He'll then give you his word to free the slaves.

Return to the Slave Guard, now that you have Bloodwyn's head and Thorus' autho-rization. The Slave Guard will reluctantly stand down and go grab some grubfrom the chef.

Return to Patrick and tell him they're free for +500 EXP. He says that heknows the perfect place to go (Tom's Cave, out by Logan's area). You can findthem there until you kill Raven. This completes "The Missing People" and"Raven's Slaves".

J.3.C.24 - Pardos-----------------Pardos is sitting in a corner past the Slave Guard, a portion of his HP gone.

J.3.P.16 - A Potion for Pardos *****------------------------------If you offer Pardos a potion, you will be rewarded ____ EXP, but be warned; ifyou don't offer it to him this first time, you'll never get to offer him oneagain, so if you want the EXP, be sure to do it that first time you talk tohim.

J.3.C.25 - Monty----------------Monty is also in an isolated corner, working on the gold veins. He tells youto talk to Patrick, and that Pardos is looking pretty bad.

J.3.P.17 - Mining Tips----------------------Monty can give you +5% on your gold-mining efficiency.

J.3.C.26 - Stew Pot Diggers---------------------------There are several unnamed diggers standing around the stew pot by the chef onthe bottom level. They don't have much to say, besides about the conditionsof working in the mine.

J.3.P.18 - Mining Tips *****----------------------Three of the unnamed 'Stew Pot Diggers' can give you additional skill in yourgold-mining. You can get +10%, +5%, and +5%.

------------------------------J.1.A.4 - The Temple of Adanos------------------------------The Temple of Adanos is a sequential 'dungeon' with booby traps that you'llhave to nagivate your way through. The Relics that you acquired are supposed to give you hints to get through them, but I found for the most part, they'revery vague, and that trial and error is the best method.

To get into the Temple, use the tablet that Quarhodron gave you: the place willrumble and magic 'clouds' will spill out from you as the door opens. Go throughit to enter the first chamber.

Chamber #1: The first chamber has four doors, with switches on the walls and falling spiketraps. Forget the entire right half of the room, and focus on the left half.You'll want to press the buttons in this order: the one with the builders (farleft), the one with the water (far right), and the one with the sun (center).If you press the switches in the wrong oder, the spikes will fall and kill youinstantly, so be sure to save right before attempting them. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ | | | | | | | | | | | 1 | | x | | 3 | | x | | 2 | |_____| |_____| |_____| |_____| |_____|

A door to your right (assuming you're still looking at the switches) will open.

Chamber #2:There are three stone sentinels in this room that you can kill. Then comes the'hard' part of figuring out which path to choose. The correct path is the onefarthest to the right (when you're looking into the room as if you just cameout of the hallway from Chamber #1). Any other path will spring spikes on youafter you've made it halfway down it; the safe one all the way to the right will not do that.

Chamber #3:This is a situation similar to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where youhave to step on the right tiles to proceed; the wrong tiles will drop fromunder you, and you'll plummet into a pungee pit. This is the one challenge thatI was able to actually find 'use' of the relic. It says that light will illumi-nate the correct path. Well, if you cast a light spell, you'll notice the tilesare slightly different in hue: the bad ones are slightly green, and the goodones are slightly purple.

__1__ __2__ __3__ |^^^^^|^^^^^| | The X's mark the tiles that will fall out from underA | | | | you if you step on them. The un-marked tiles are safe |_____|_____|_____| to travel on. | | | |B | | X | X | Grid A1 and A2 both have spike-traps that will spring

Chamber #4:As you enter the fourth chamer, you'll see the all-too-familiar spike holes.There is a dead corpse of a Bandit to the side, which has a DEX I and 1H Istone tablet on it. You'll also notice the ghost of Rhademes, with a sole bitof solid stone in the center, devoid of spike-traps.

Talk to Rhademes, and ask him how you can open the door. He'll tell you thatbasically every single level on the walls will spring the trap, but they'llalso open the door. You can ask how Rhademes would know which is the 'right'lever, and he'll say that the Sword showed him revenge, but he's since longforgotten it. No matter what you say in response, he'll give it a try. Makesure that you're standing on the stone platform in the middle before you givehim encouragement. He'll pull a random lever, and the spikes will spring up, but since he's already dead, they don't do anything to him, and since you'restanding on the platform, you're unharmed: the door is now open.

If you talk to Rhademes again, he'll tell you "If you have the strength, sinkit in the depths of the sea."

Antechamber:There are six sentinels here that are supposed to jump to life when you try togo through the final door, but you can of course attack them before hand andget it over with. No puzzles here.

Final Chamber:Make sure you're fully healed and set for combat. Once you're all set, go talkto Raven, kneeling at the far end of the room. Raven is under the belief thatyou are a servant of Innos, sent to stop him. You find out that Raven sold hissoul to Beliar and will be a general in Beliar's army. You tell Raven that youmight not be a servant of Innos, but one of Adanos, or simply working for your-self. At this point, Raven will attack.

Raven is not that much stronger than other human opponents you'll have come byup to this point. Perhaps the only thing makes him much of a challenge is thefact that he has the Claw of Beliar. You'll notice that sometimes you're stuckwith a bolt of lightning for either hitting Raven or for getting hit by Raven.That's an effect of the Claw, which deals extra damage negating your defensevalues. Raven might also be a bit tougher if you rushed into everything andaren't that high in levels, in which case you may just need to postpone yourfight and go work on that. Treat Raven just like any other human opponent,though, and things should be ok.

Killing Raven will get you +500 EXP and an FMV in which waves of magic radiateout from the Temple, killing off all the stone sentinels, and finally skeweringRaven's helpless body, draining all of Beliar's power from it.

Loot Raven's body for another set of Relics, and the Claw of Beliar. You'llprobably be curious and try to equip it, but will notice that it damages apercent of your health when you do so. Anyway, continue on out of the temple,going back the way you came.

NOTE that for some reason in my gameplay, the door leading into the antechamberwouldn't open again after I had killed Raven. If this happens to you, you'llhave to do some clipping to get through. Left-Strafe into the corner where thestone door meets with the stone frame around it, and play around with the turnkeys, left and right. It may take some trial and error, but you should pop overto the other side, and the door will the open.... You could wind up seeminglyon top of the Temple where everything's purple. If this is the case, follow the path around until you find the first steep ramp (it looks like you shouldbe unable to go up it, but you can). You should come to a 'hole' in the purplein which you can look down into the rendered Temple halls. Drop down in thishole, and you'll be back at Chamber #1.

With Raven now dead, your adventures in Jharkendar have just about come to anend. You can still talk to a few people about things, however.

A talk with Thorus, letting him know Raven's dead, gives you a bit of insightinto G3 possibilities that you might be running into him again. The two of youare now at an understanding of each other's qualities: you're a wandering guywith no 'home' or 'ties', and Thorus is an outlaw longing for those things. Heis now going to take over the Bandit Camp and lead it as a community, ratherthan a work-force.

Return to Saturas and tell him you've killed Raven, and he will give you theinformation on what he and the rest of the mages are going to do, along with+1000 EXP. He'll finally update the quest "Relief for Vatras" by sending Myxirin to town. You can talk to him about the Claw in "The Claw of Beliar" and hewill tell you more about what you can do with it. According to Saturas, you arethe Preserver of Balance, which is odd because you're also the Chosen of Innos.Interesting that you'd seem to play the role of two gods.

At any rate, the water mages are going to stay behind and try to rebuild thecity to what it once was, in hopes of restoring the lost civilization andfinding out even more about the ancient culture.

You can tell Greg that you've killed Raven for +1000 EXP and +500g; he is verypleased that that scum-bag finally bit the dust, and hopes that it will be a step towards ending the strife between the pirates and the bandits.

J.1.A.5 - Exploring Jharkendar

J.5.A.1 - The Ruins-------------------First off, you'll find some new monsters in this area: the Mantis, namely. Youcan take its head and sell it for cash. Other than that, check around every nook and cranny for useful stuff like potions, digging sites, etc. There arealso some 'new' mobs to G2 (though present in G1) that you can run into, such

as the Razor.

Most noteworthy is William's corpse, located in a small hut on the easternside. He carries a note on him, which doesn't make much sense until after youhave freed the slaves -- he tried to escape, and was recieving outside helpfrom someone, but apparently didn't make it.

J.5.A.2 - The Valley--------------------In the valley you will find a few Orcs and a few Trolls, but mostly it's justGrassland Scavengers, Goblins, and Snappers. There are a few other oddballslike the Swamp Golem, a few Mantises, but they're limited. The Valley is a lushgreen region with serpentine paths, easy to step off a cliff and die. Be verycareful.

J.5.C.1 - Hermit----------------The Hermit moved to Jharkendar to get away from people. He says that he has toput up with the occasional Orc every now and then, but that doesn't bother him.He's perturbed by your presence. He mentions that he reads Stone Tablets forleisurely entertainment and that he's figured out what most of the symbolsmean.

J.5.P.1 - Clothes for the Hermit--------------------------------He took nothing with him to Jharkendar, and have made everything he has off ofhunting. However, he knows nothing about sewing, and thus begs you to providehim with some clothes. You can give him any armor that you don't want anymore.It's my personal preferance to give him some of the Citizen's Clothes that Ifound in the chest behind Matteo's store.

If you give him clothes, he then wears it. He rewards +200 EXP, an Old StoneTablet, and a DEX III tablet. You can also loot shadowbeast trophies from hishouse -- he doesn't seem to mind.

J.5.T.1 - Learning from the Hermit----------------------------------The Hermit can teach you how to read the Ancient Language of the Builders:

Language of the Peasants: 5 LP (read lvl I tablets)Language of the Warriors: 10 LP (read lvl II tablets)Language of the Priests: 15 LP (read lvl III tablets)

J.5.I.1 - The Magic Bow-----------------------On a ledge northeast of the Temple of the Undead in the SE region of the Valleyyou will be tantilized by a sparkly blue object -- the Magic Bow (50/100). Problem is, there's a huge canyon between you and the ledge. It can easily becrossed with Acrobatics, but if you don't have it, here's the best solution:

Use a Transform into Lurker Scroll to jump over and back. Be sure to have 2, sothat you have one for the return trip. Or, you can go to the ledge verticallyabove the broken bridge (with the goblin hut), and jump from there. It willtake some trial and error, but if you jump from the pointed edge toward thebridge, you can eventually land.

In this area, you can find some pretty cool stuff, along with some Stone Senti-nel guardians.

J.5.A.3 - The Canyon--------------------The Canyon is mostly overrun by Razors and Chompers (both previously in G1). There is an occasional Blood hound, and the Orc Camp outside the Library of the Scholars. Oh, and a few Desert Rats.

Other than that, there's not much. You can explore in a few mineshafts and getsome digging done. They're generally filled with minecrawlers.

The tunnel that links the Canyon and the Swamp is pretty cool, loaded to theteeth with minecrawlers and minecrawler warriors. Loots of good loot in there.

J.5.A.4 - The Swamp-------------------The Swamp is an absolute mess to try to explore because everything is so darkand monotonous and everything looks the same and blarg. It's got Gas Drones,Zombies, Swampsharks, Swamp Rats, and Swamp Golems, mostly. There's a TON ofherbs to be obtained.

J.5.C.2 - Juan--------------Juan is in a cave as far east as you can possibly go in the Swamp. He's outthere all by his lonesome with some unnamed Bandit. You'll probably get intoa fight with him if you talk to him, but you'll have to eventually. He doesn'treally serve much purpose other than for the quests for Huno and Fisk.

J.5.I.X - The Ladder Camp Site------------------------------Just south of the Swamp Teleporter Stone you will find a ladder which leads upa tree. I generally leave the exploring and looting up to the player to find(I feel it's more thrilling for you to always find new things, not to mentionit's too much to have to document >.<), but I feel the need to point this oneout: It's the only ladder you'll find in Gothic 2. They were abundant in G1,and as Garaz says, "It's a wonder, but no one's really used ladders since thefall of the barrier,". I thought it was amusing.

Anyway, you can climb up the ladder(s) to a small camping site, complete withnice loot and a digging site.

[G.3.3] - Post-Jharkendar-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K.2.P.01 - The Missing People K.2.P.02 - Relief for Vatras K.2.Q.01 - "The Dragon Hunt" K.2.P.03 - Escape with Diego K.2.P.04 - Return to Jharkendar K.2.P.05 - The Undead Dragon

K.2.P.01 - The Missing People ----------------------------You can go back to everyone who reported missing a worker or friend and talk tothem about things. Mostly, it's just a quick 'so how are things?', but you do get some reward from it.

Lares: +100 EXPAkil: +100 EXPGarvel: +100 EXPCord: +100 EXPBengar: +100 EXPVatras: +3 MANA (perhaps more, didn't document)Farim: Nothing - William is dead. Farim goes to the pub to drink-up William's share of the last catch in mourning; 'it's what he'd have wanted'.

K.2.P.02 - Relief for Vatras---------------------------You can tell Vatras about his relief for +100 EXP, but of course he'll stillstay at the courtyard preaching. You can also talk to Myxir, kneeling in frontof the large statue in the small shrine behind Vatras for +100 EXP. He mentionssome stuff about you being the Preserver and thanking you for your effort, andthat he'll remain in the city to aid Vatras.

K.2.Q.01 - "The Dragon Hunt"---------------------------There really aren't that many changed made to the game once you're done withJharkendar, besides one noticable point: the dragons are harder. Now their HPregenerates at an astonishingly fast rate, which makes most of the old tacticsfor killing them ineffective. Thus, you'll have to explore new methods ofslaying these beasts.

The old strategies for fighting dragons no longer work; fighting until yourhealth is low, then running away and taking some health potions; getting thedragon into 'flight mode' to get a hit or two in each time it lands; and moreare now void, since the dragons' HP regenerates during that time. Even on mybeefed-up Mercenary/Dragon Hunter, I could scarecely put out enough damagewith my weapons to kill the dragon (the knock-back of the 'fire sweep' attackis brutal -- you're down on the ground, and their HP regenerates). My firemagician could not even damage the dragons with my Circle 4 spells.

The easiest answer to killing the dragons, is scrolls. The best ones that I

have come by for killing dragons are: summon stone golem, summon demon, andfire storm.

On the easier dragons (stone/fire), you can use the golem scrolls to use thegolem simply as a decoy, in order for you to get around to the side of thedragon to hit at it constantly. The golem will also help negate the regeneffects in the aspect of there being another being attacking the dragon withyou. The demon is a lot more effective than the golem because it simply doesso much more damage, and a noticable amount. The demon could almost take downa dragon on its own. However, there are fewer demon scrolls, and they are moreexpensive to purchase. Rain of Fire, simply put, destroys dragons. It can one-hit the easier dragons, but may require two to kill the tougher ones. Rain ofFire scrolls are especially hard to come by, so if you're playing as a mage, be sure to save one in order to make the rune.

Note that you should save before each dragon battle and attempt to finish itwith only using one summon scroll, in order to conserve more for later. Towardsthe end of the game you will likely need to summon up to two demons, but earlyon it can easily be done with just one, even if you get a fluke and it dies.

Good people to buy scrolls fromare in the Monestary, Karras and Gorax in particular. There are various other merchants that sell magic scrolls, but asI recall only these two have the good ones that you'll need.

> Suggested Dragon-Slaying Methods:

Swamp Dragon: Cipher & RodStone Dragon: Summon GolemFire Dragon: Summon GolemIce Dragon: Demon / Rain of FireFire Dragon (Irdorath): Demon / Rain of Fire

It'd be wise to buy every Summon Demon / Fire Rain / Ice Wave or other suchpowerful scrolls that you can find, so that once you're on Irdorath you havea full arsenal of options.

K.2.P.03 - Escape with Diego---------------------------In Chapter 2, when you are collecting the information on the ore for Garond,you run into Diego in his old spot. However, you now have the option of goingwith him back across the pass. Whenever you're ready, let him know, and thetwo of you will set out for the mine.

Diego doesn't want to go anywhere near the castle, thus you'll have to go upthe back route, around the western area, through the northwestern ice area, and across the northern area. There will be plenty of orcs, but Diego shouldbe able to handle them (be sure to save often in case he dies). Give him healthpotions whenever his health is low.

Once you're at the Pass, you're rewarded +500 EXP, and Diego will stay put until you've crossed the Pass, where he will then be found in Khorinis city.

K.2.P.05 - Return to Jharkendar

------------------------------In Chapter 4, more mobs are placed in Jharkendar, most noticable are the prese-nce of an abundancy of Dragon Snappers and a hefty handful of Trolls. The oldmob population of Jharkendar from earlier will be entirely different in mostcases, so expect to see much stronger mobs everywhere.

At any rate, it's a good chance to get a few extra levels and loot from sheerhunting. Give it another go if you like exp and LP's.

K.2.P.06 - The Undead Dragon---------------------------NOTE: The sub-boss Black Magician just before the Undead Dragon uses Cry of theDead (Beliar rune) which deals 666 damage, and he doesn't have to chug manapotions to cast it again, so be very careful when fighting him. Run behind apillar to take potions if you need to -- move around a lot so it's harder forhim to hit you with the spell (it's got a wanky cast path, so there's still achance it can hit you if you simply side-step).

Fighting the Undead Dragon at the end of Chapter 6 is a lot like the previousfive that you've encountered, with a few differences (besides his exponentiallyincreased HP): Destroy Undead and the Claw of Beliar do not work on it. In factif you use the Claw on the Undead Dragon, the damage will be reflected back atyou. Thus, you'll have to revert back to your old STR/DEX-based weapon (eithersword or ranged), and don't forget -- summon scrolls are your friend. Also note that Shrink Monster does not affect it.

If you have plenty, spam Fire Rain scrolls before summoning the Demon (the Rainwill kill the demon if it's summoned, and the Fire Rain rune takes a whopping150 mana, which means you'll probably only be able to cast it 2 or 3 timesbefore having to chug some mana potions). You can also use the Ice Wave scrollsto freeze the dragon in place, then summon the Demon, and use Breath of Deathor Holy Missile or your sword.

=============================================================================== [G.4] - Manuscripts===============================================================================

THE STORY:After the fall of the barrier, Raven took whatever survivors he could find andmoved into Khorinis, searching for more followers and forced hands. After gathering a sizable crew, he began to barter with the local pirates -- theytook them on their ship to the lands of Jharkendar, where Raven set his eyeson an ancient artifact.

The bandits, led by Raven, left the pirates and moved into the swamp. There,he used his followers to excavate the Temple of Adanos and the tomb of a mightyphantasm. He continued to trade with the pirates until the excavation wascomplete.

Once this was finished, he turned his slaves over to Bloodwyn, who put them towork in a gold mine. Once they had a secure set of income, they broke ties with the pirates, even declaring war on any pirate that set foot near thebandits' camp.

Meanwhile, the hero, dazed from his improsnment and short-term coma in thetemple of the Sleeper, returned to Khorinis under Xardas' magic, set to workto destroy the new armies of evil invading the Valley of Mines. Xardas mentionsthe turbulence in the Northeast, and the hero quickly gets involved with theorder of the Circle of Water, whom he had decieved in his time in the Colony.He also gets involved with some shady pirates.

He encounters stone guardians when activating stone circles to acquire piecesof a key to the portal, which is believed to lead to the ancient valley of along lost culture. Once he obtains all the pieces, he returns to the Water Mages, who fix the key, and send the hero through the portal.

He arrives in Jharkendar several days after the Water Mages get there. He istasked with stopping Raven from getting into the Temple of Adanos, which lateris found to hold the Claw of Beliar, the divine weapon of Beliar; that is what Raven seeks. The hero joins forces with the pirates and sneaks into thebandit camp, killing key members as he moves up the ranks until he finallygets into the temple, freeing the slaves of Khorinis in the process.

The temple doors are sealed, however, and he cannot enter them. He then goesto the tomb of Quarhodron, leader of the ancient warrior caste, and gets thepassword from him to open the doors. Returning to the bandit camp, the heroenters the Temple, chasing after Raven through booby traps and puzzles, untilthe final showdown, in which he defeats Raven and takes the Claw of Beliar.

Thorus, second-in-command of the bandits, takes over the bandit camp, hoping toturn it into a cooperative community, a shelter for outcasts and criminals.The hero, is choiced with either destroying the Claw, or using it in the nameof Adanos (or Innos, for that matter), against Beliar. The turbulence in thevalley now resolved, the Water Mages stay there in hopes of rebuilding thelong lost city.

LIBRARY OF THE SCHOLARS:You can read lecterns at the Library which explain the story behind Jharkendar.It's actually briefly summed up on the Old Stone Tablets. Anywhere, here's asimplified version of the story from the Library:

Quarhodron, leader of the warriors, wielded a powerful sword. For some reason he is impeached, and the warriors chose hisson, Rhademes to succeed Quarhodron.

The sword overcame Rhademes' weakness and had him seek to kill the guardians of the dead to thwart their ancestralcommunication. War broke out, and the Healers tried to sealthe valley.

Quarhodron, Khardimon, and a scholar met to devise a plan tostop Rhademes. Quarhodron and Khardimon think that their combined power can overtake Rhademes, but the scholar thinksit will be futile, and comes up with a plan. Quarhodron wentto the temple, called Rhademes there, who, enraged by the sword,stormed the temple. Quarhodron sealed Rhademes and the sword inthe temple for all eternity.

Adanos was unhappy. The Healers made an attempt at sealing theportal, but it was unknown to the scholars if they succeeded. Adanos kills the warriors, Quarhodron's heart breaks. Priestshope for a rebirth of Jharkendar, but the scholars know it isdoomed.

Rhademes remains sealed in the temple, but the sword's influencegrew too strong; the killings still happened. Adanos floodedJharkendar to stop the sword. Only the central temples were ableto survive the flood. The few survivors didn't have the strengthto rebuild the city.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [A.2.5] - Claw of Beliar-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Claw of Beliar (as used by Mercenaries/Dragon Hunters and Militia/Paladins)is a very interesting weapon. When you first acquire it from Raven, it is noteven equipable, and in fact damages your health when you try to wear it. Inorder to wield it, you have to pray at a Shrine of Beliar and consecrate it.The Claw essentially gets stronger as you get higher in levels.

Whether the Claw is a 1H or a 2H weapon depends on which type of weapon youare more efficient with. If your 1H is at 80% and your 2H is at 30% when youconsecrate it, the Claw will become a 1H weapon. If you were to then train your2H up to 85%, leaving your 1H at 80%, the next time you upgrade it, the Clawwill become a 2H weapon. Thus, to convert it from one type to the other requi-res increasing the desired weapon-type efficiency beyond the weapon-efficiencyof the current leading type.

Every two levels, starting at level 11, you can pray at a Shrine of Beliar andincrease the Claw's damage by 1, and its chance to strike with extra damage by2. The first "level" is technically at any level under lvl 11 when you firstconsecrate it, 11 being the first chance to 'upgrade' it.

If you were to get the Claw after level 11, when you choose to 'upgrade it', itwill turn into the equivilent of your level. So if you don't get it or don'tupgrade it until you're lvl 41, you will have the same effect as a lvl 41 Claw.

The catch: it costs a permanent 5-point deduction from your hitpoints. This means it will cost a total of -100 hitpoints to upgrade the Claw to its maxpotential.

The extra damage that it can give to enemies is a set 100 damage to the enemy'shealth, regardless of armor values. This extra damage seems to have some formof 'Area of Effect', this meaning that if you're attacking one enemy, and thereis a second or third near the enemy you're attacking, the extra damage sparkcan wind up hitting them as well. If the enemy is blocking and you keep attack-ing (even against the block), the extra damage spark will still have a chanceto land and hit it. You'll know the extra damage has hit because it will givethe animation of the "Lightning" spell striking the enemy.

The Claw of Beliar isn't definitively the 'best' weapon in the game, mostlybecause of it's cost to upgrade and the fact that it has a low base-damage.The 1H version is 50 points lower than the strongest 1H sword, and the 2Hversion is 80 points lower than the strongest 2H sword. The 1H Claw has morebang for its buck because it can hold its own in damage when compared to theOre Dragon Slayer (160 damage); the 2H Claw cannot hold its own versus the Berserker's Axe (200 damage) in pure damage.

For calculation purposes, you have 100% 1H and 100% 2H. This willcompare the damage out-put of the 1H Claw versus the strongest base-damaging 1H sword, and the 2H Claw versus the strongest 2H axe. Notethat the chance of the extra damage is 50%, so 1/2 of every hit willdo an extra 100 damage.

In 4 hits, the following damage occurs:

Ore Dragon Slayer: 160 1H Claw: 210 160 210 160 110 160 110 --- --- 640 640

Now when you consider that the extra damage of the Claw is unaffectedby armor values, we can assume that versus humans, shadow lords, orcs,lizardmen, and other armor-wearing creatures, that the Claw will domore damage. The fact that the extra damage is AoE and strikes througha blocking opponent on chance, pushes the Claw well beyond the OreDragon Slayer.

In 4 hits, the follow damage occurs:

Berserker's Axe: 200 2H Claw: 220 200 220 200 120 200 120

--- --- 800 680

The Berserker's Axe gives more reliable damage than the 2H claw. Thefact that the damage is unaffected by armor values, has an area ofeffect, and hits through a blocking opponent on chance, perhaps onlybrings it up equivilant to the Berserker's Axe in 'bang value'. But,since the extra damage is only a 50% chance, it's not reliable.

Thus, the Claw is a much better 1H sword than it is a 2H sword. However, thisisn't to say you shouldn't use it as a 2H. The fact that it has no STR require-ment will save you tons of LP to invest into other fields (especially consider-ing the min.STR required for the strongest 2H is a whopping 170). I imagineyou likely will have a STR+10 amulet, two STR+5 rings, and a STR+10 belt inorder to use stronger weapons earlier on; in which case, you can remove thoseaccessories and equip defensive accessories (my personal favorite, the WarriorJewelry set and a Combination belt) to be a walking tank.

Not to mention, the Claw just looks so cool and is a new feature to play through the rest of the game with. It might just be worth it no matter whatfor the thrill factor of having the new toy to dink around with.

PROS: Area of Effect damage can hit multiple enemies; the extra damage can hit through a blocking target; no minimum STR or DEX requirement to wield; looks super-cool.CONS: Costs -100 HP to fully maximize the stats; lower base damage than other weapons

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [A.3.7] - Claw of Beliar-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When playing a mage, the Claw can assume various forms, which you can upgradeto each time you learn a new Circle. In various cases you get two spells fora circle, which gives you a bit more choice in your pickings. Unlike the Clawas a sword, however, it only costs -25 HP to fully upgrade. It costs -5 HP toupgrade to the next circle, but does not have any Circle 6 spells, thus it takes -25 HP. In my observation, the Claw runes are generally lame, as you canget much better MP:damage ratio spells.

Circle: HP/Total HP: Spells:Circle 1: -5/-5 HP Root SnareCircle 2: -5/-10 HP Steal EnergyCircle 3: -5/-15 HP Beliar's Wrath, Create GuardianCircle 4: -5/-20 HP Insect Swarm, Create ZombieCircle 5: -5/-25 HP Cry of the Dead You can only carry one Beliar Rune at a time, and must pray at a Shrine ofBeliar in order to exchange it for another one. It does not cost any extra HPreduction to do so.

Root Snare: -MP Cost: 50 MP -Duration: 20 seconds -Circle: 1 -Description: Traps an enemy in a thorn bush, similar to Ice Block. Trap is

undone when target is attacked.

Steal Energy: -MP Cost: 30 MP -Damage: 100 -Circle: 2 -Description: Drains 100 HP from targeted human enemy and restores 100 HP

to you. Neglects magic resistance -- goes straight for HP. Effect is halted if you get close to the target.

Create Guardian: -MP Cost: 60 MP -Duration: 5 minutes -Circle: 3 -Description: Summons a Stone Sentinel to fight at your side.

Beliar's Wrath: -MP Cost: 100 MP -Damage: 200 -Circle: 3 -Description: Basic offensive spell with terrible MP:damage ratio.

Insect Swarm: -MP Cost: 20 MP -Damage: 80 -Duration: 6 seconds -Circle 4 -Description: Casts a swarm of insects which attack and deal damage to the

enemy over a period of six seconds.

Create Zombie:

-MP Cost: 80 MP -Duration: 5 minutes -Circle: 4 -Description: Summons a Zombie in Old Knight Armor to fight at your side.

Cry of the Dead: -MP Cost: 250 minimum + all remaining MP -Damage: 666 -Circle: 5 -Description: The single-most-damaging spell in the game. Unfortunately it

uses all your mana. Looks pretty cool, but can easily miss ifthe target is moving, due to a very wanky spell path.

However, you can if you wantto.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [A.4.4] - Praying at Shrines-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shrine of Innos---------------You can pray at a Shrine of Innos once a day and recieve bonuses for donating100g. You are limited to 10 bonuses for each stat increase (you can get 10 +1STR, 10 +1 DEX, for example), any more than that and there is no reward.

Possible Rewards: +1 STR, +1 DEX, +4 HP, +2 MP

There seems to be an influence of what you get based on your guild and/or whichever stat you have more/less of (DEX versus STR), however I am not sure of theexact probabilty and formula. As a mage you get Mana bonuses primarily. Mercgets HP and STR, Paladins get double bonuses for praying. That being said, youjust need to find out for yourself.

If you know more about the Shrines, please e-mail me with what you know.

Shrine of Beliar ----------------You can pray at a Shrine of Beliar once a day and recieve gold for donatingpermanent reductions of your HP and MP.

-1 HP: +50g-2 HP: +250g-3 HP: +500g-1 MP: +500g

After you do it enough, you will no longer recieve the gold rewards, and Beliarwill simply "thank you for your donation". After some time it will come back,but at half the reward rate. It's great for some quick cash early on, but goldlater on becomes a piece of cake to come by.

You need to pray at Shrines of Beliar in order to upgrade the Claw of Beliar(see [A.2.5] Paladin/Merc, [A.3.7] Mage).
