[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 experience

easier and more enjoyable, as well as make certain things clear right at the

begining. With the changes made to G2 in NotR, things are a lot harder, and

it 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 one

at a time. Simply walk close enough so that one will detect you and

begin walking towards you. Back away. Once you've gotten it far enough

away from the group, stand still and wait until it charges at you. Once

it begins running at you, take a step back -- it will bite at you, but

will come up short. Proceed to attack, getting in as many combos as

possible before it backs away, being sure to keep your distance. It

will make another lunge; take another step back, repeat.

Orc Warrior:

When possible, try to limit fights with orcs to one-on-one. The best

way 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 the

patience to spend 15 minutes attacking it.

The orc will begin running toward you, and so long as it's running, it

will do an overhand slash at you. When it gets close enough to do the

slash, strafe to the side and it'll miss you completely. From here,

start whacking at its back until it turns around. Begin moving back

to get some distance (you defend as you move backward by default, so

don't worry about getting hit). Keep moving back until you get enough

distance 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 the

technique used to kill it. Make sure it's running to you -- once it's

close, take a step back and its fire attack will miss. Get a hit or

two in so that the lizard jumps back once or twice (don't get too close

to 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 the

last second so that it misses, and repeat.

Skeletons:

Quite frankly one of the toughest mobs in the game. Like any strong

monster it's best to try to isolate them so that you only fight one

at a time. Simply walk up until one of them unsheaths their sword, then

turn and run the other direction until there's plenty of space. Then,

the best strategy is to block until their sword hits yours, then follow

up with a quick side-swipe, then immediately block again. They may

occasionally get a hit in, but this is the best method that I've come

by.

Shadowbeasts:

Quite often when you come by a shadowbeast it's in a cave, and when

it is in a cave, it's a piece of cake to take down. Without ever

walking or running, jump from outside the cave over to the front of

the shadowbeast so that you're facing its head. NPC's don't notice you

if you jump around (with a few exceptional ones), thus the beast won't

react 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 left

to right repeatedly. If you time it right, the shadowbeast should get

hit 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 secret

is to constantly hit it from the back. When you first run up to it, the

troll will howl. While it's doing this, run around behind it and begin

hitting. It'll start turning, at which point you should begin to strafe

until you're securely at its backside, and then get another two or

three hits in.

The key is to keep moving so that it can never catch you and to put in

as many hits when possible. Make sure to stafe entirely clockwise or

entirely counterclockwise; don't mix it up. Sometimes you may have to

realign yourself, in which case you should stop strafing, turn toward

the troll, get closer, and begin strafing again. You can strafe faster

than the troll can turn.

Terrain:

When a situation is too hard, use the terrain to your advantage. Climb

up a small tree stump and shoot the enemy with a ranged weapon (if it

can't jump). For large monsters like Demons, who can't fit through

doorways, lure them to one and shoot them with a ranged weapon. Trap

mobs against walls and beat them down. Fight Orc Warriors behind the

shelter of a wall or tent so that Shamans can't attack until you're

finished 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 be

some repeated information in here. The Walkthrough is going to be broken up

into three parts: Pre-Jharkendar, Jharkendar, and Post-Jharkendar.

The Overview goes in a fairly chronological order, so you can look over it as

a 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 will

bring you to that character/quest/appendix. There are times when a quest may

lead into another, in which case, noted by this symbol "->". It will be

followed by the code of the quest that it continues into.

C.1.A.1 - Xardas' Tower

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

We begin at Xardas' Tower in Khorinis. After he awakens you, he mentions a "new

threat". You can ask him about this and get another FMV explaining the back

story 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 bonus

content.

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 attempt

to 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 in

town, 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 on

the 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 ask

him how to get into the city. Apparently he worked with or for Constantino

before he was cast into the Colony. He tells you that you can pose as an herb

vendor for Constantino.

K.1.Q.01 - "Herbs for Constantino"

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

This is ultimately going to be your way into town (Follow every other step

possible 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 City

Guard 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, the

area around Lester, Xardas' Tower, the road to the city, etc. It shouldn't be

too hard for you to come by these. Once you're in, you can talk to Constantino

about selling him herbs for another +50 EXP. You can then return to Lester to

tell 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. He

was not originally a part of Gothic 2, though served as a merchant and trainer

for the Old Camp in the original Gothic. He'll ask you where you're going; tell

him you're going back to the Valley of Mines, and he'll give you a quest to see

if 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 in

town for more information. He'll also tell you about his predicament with the

bandits.

K.1.Q.02 - "Cavalorn's Old Hut"

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

When Cavalorn asks where you are going, tell him you're headed back to the

Valley of Mines and he will task you with checking on his old hut. You won't

actually be there until chapter 2, of course, so there will be a lot of stuff

inbetween 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 are

sitting 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, it

is 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 had

such little value back in the colony). Give him his satchel for +300 EXP and

+200 gold.


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

When you mention Cavalorn's armor, he tells you that he belongs to a group of

people who work in secret to support and protect the Water Mages with their

newest endeavor. He merely tells you that Vatras will be able to tell you

more. -> 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 and

2 small healing potions (the Wolf Knife is the best weapon you'll come by

at the beginning of the game, with 30dmg/10str/+3%1H). It's advised to wait

until you've talked to the Bandit and Maleth before going in to kill the rest

of 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 there

will be trouble soon; Cavalorn is comming. This will get you +50 exp. Now go

back and tell Cavalorn that you're ready to "mix it with them". Follow him

up 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 is

over, 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 your

1H-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 him

you've come from the mountains. Continue to ask questions (do not agree to go

with him or say "maybe later") and then admit that you were a convict in the

Colony. He'll suddenly have a change of attitude, and will befried you. You can

offer 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 you

drop your gold on the ground, you can still get Dexter's name, without having

to pay.

After you've talked to Cavalorn, you can warn him that Cavalorn is comming

for +50 exp.

After you've talked to Maleth, you can warn him that Lobart's farmers noticed

the missing sheep and want them all dead for another +50 exp.


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

There's not much you can do with this quest now, aside from getting Dexter's

name in order to get into the Bandit Camp. There are a few other opportunities

to 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 complete

when you meet Dexter, doesn't add anything in Jharkendar, and self-completes

when you enter Ch.4. So, it'll just sit in your quest log idly after you've

gotten Dexter's name. Later you'll talk to Dexter (K.6.C.3) and you will get

some 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; their

main purpose is to help you get into the city (or in the expansion, help Greg

get 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 some

bandits in the mountains (even if you weren't) he'll mention that he wants to

see them all dead for causing the farm troubles. This quest goes hand-in-hand

with "Cavalorn's Bandits" (K.1.Q.2) in the fact that they both are having

troubles with the same group. When you pick up this quest, if you warn the

Bandit 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 some

lackey. Once they're dead, you can return to Maleth for +100 EXP and 3 bottles

of 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 (original

price 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 the

quest of getting in the city (it can also begin when you attempt to enter the

city and are stopped by the guards, or by talking with Canthar). There are a

few ways to do this: 1) Sneak in, 2) Use Lobart's farm clothes, 3) Pose as an

herb-vendor for Constantino, 4) Use Canthar's pass, 5) Bribe the guards for

100 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 you

some farmer's clothes. He will give you a better price on the togs if you work

for 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 to

cook (K.2.Q.05), getting a pan for Hilda (K.2.Q.06), and getting some wine for

Vino (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 for

a 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. Pick

them all up and return to Lobart for +50 EXP. He'll tell you to take them to

his 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 the

turnips, 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'll

strike up a deal with you (K.2.P.01) - go ahead and take it. Return to Hilda

with 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 the

city - a pass that allows the bearer past the guards. He will give it to you

for 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 and

gold once you're inside. The quest "Canthar's Favor" will become available to

you 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, you

can go back to Canthar and buy a bottle off of him. Return to Vino with the

wine for +50 EXP.

K.2.C.6 - Greg

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

On your way to the city gates, you'll run in to Greg, and unlikely pirate in

need 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. If

you agree to help him, you can offer him several choices, but the only one he

will agree to is using the farmer's clothes you got from Lobart. If you don't

have them yet, he'll wait in his spot until you "come up with an idea" (ie you

getting 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 chores

and killed the bandits) and +100 EXP. You'll later run in to him at Orlan's

tavern, where he will have a second task for you. You can enter the city as

an herb-gatherer for Constantino, not needing the farmer clothes anymore. He

will show up later at the Dead Harpy Tavern with another task for you to help

him 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 quests

added in the expansion. You'll likely spend up to a full hour in and around

Khorinis what with all of the quests that open up to you when you get in. For

the purposes of the expansion, your primary target should be Vatras, followed

by Lares.

K.3.C.1 - Vatras

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

He's the representative of the Water Magicians inside the city. He is the one

who will ultimately let you into the Ring of Water, so you'll have to do some

things to prove yourself worthy and trustable. He can teach you to increase

your mana, heal you (for free), and other nifty things. After you've finished

all your conversation topics (particularly the ones about the Ring and joining

it), Vatras will give you some ornament to take to Lares, who is suppsoed to

deliver 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. He

will ask where you got it from, and if you say Cavalorn (not the bandits), you

get another +200 EXP. Vatras will mention something about the Ring of Water

and your potential involvement since Cavalorn deemed you worthy to be told of

it. Return to Cavalorn and tell him you delivered the letter for +50 EXP.


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

When you ask about joining the Ring of Water, Vatras says that you must first

prove 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 before

he 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 Missing

People?"). Once you're ready to join (having completed "Where Are the Missing

People?" 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 with

your 'name' on it. Vatras will tell you to meet with the other members of the

Ring at Orlan's tavern.

Go to the Dead Harpy and talk to Orlan about the meeting for +100 EXP. He says

the 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, and

check if you have any questions. If you ask about weapons, he will give you the

Ring 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; you

are 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 to

find 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 +100

EXP.

K.3.Q.02 - "Where Are the Missing People?"

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

This is a relatively large quest that is done along-side "Wanted Notes and

Bandits" (K.1.Q.05). The first step involves asking people about the missing

people to try to figure out who is missing. The following is a list of people

to ask, and who/what they mention:

Lares: William

Garvell: Monty

Andre: No Comment

Bromor: Lucia & "Bromor's Golden Dish" (K.3.Q.12)

Thorben: Elvrich

Coragon: Ask Thorben, ask Hakon

Hakon: Joe +50 EXP *

Halvor: Ask Garvell

Akil: Tonak, Telbor +50 EXP

Bengar: Pardos +50 EXP

Cord: Patrick **

Farim: William, bay that William was last seen

Cassia: Pirate bay

Kardif: Ask Coragon, ask Halvor

Skip: Bandit hideout, leader's name (Dexter)

Elvrich: Lucia, Lucia's meeting point

Dexter: 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 talk

to 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 and

ask 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 missing

people). You can ask where the bandits are now, and he will draw on your map

if you have one, or just tell you. In drawing on the map, he remembers the

leader'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' Weapon

Dealer" you follow a trail of Bandit Rapiers to the small, enclosed field SE of

Bengar's farm. There lies a bandit camp with a few bandits, and one Elvrich

sitting in the tent. Once you've killed the bandits (you can go behind the tent

for 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 he

could over-hear the bandits talking about making him and others into slaves in

some remote area. He was taken to a mooring harbor a short distance from the

harbor of Khorinis (where Skip is now). He will tell you that there are more

of 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 back

to town. You can later talk to him in-town, and Thorben will reward you with

200g.

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; +50

EXP 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 is

the 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 telling

him you've rescued Elvrich; +50 EXP for telling him Lucia was taken by the

bandits; +50 EXP for telling him Lucia has decided to go with the bandits; +50

EXP for telling him about the pirates' mooring bay where they were taking the

missing people to be slaves. All-in-all, that comes to +400 EXP for telling

him 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's

name. He will let you pass without any troubles. Continue past the bandits to

Dexter's house and talk to him. Ask him all the questions you can about the

missing people, and you find out that he's working for Raven, a former Ore

Baron 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, to

beat 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 you

start 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 will

get the hard proof of what Raven's planning. You can now take this information

back 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 have

written histories about an ancient culture that the Water Mages are doing

research 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 variable

number of mana/health potions. If it's more than 10 Tablets, you get a perma

increase 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 obtained

the quest "Where Are the Missing People?", upon asking what some of the Ring's

tasks are, Vatras will mention their current dilemma with a fence in town who

is dealing in weapons with/for the bandits. He doesn't have much information

for you, but directs you to Martin for more information.

When you ask if there's anything that can help you on your search, Vatras will

give you an ore amulet with a summonable will-o-the-wisp. This wisp can be

told to search for close-combat weapons (ideally the bandits' swords, as you

find a trail of Bandit Rapiers) and guide you to them. Vatras says that you

can talk to Riordian with the other Water Mages about training it to find

other 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 the

farmers. He also advises that you should be able to fight at least five bandits

if you're to be able to survive. Now, you can do the quest without doing this

first 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 must

first deal with the bandits that are blockading the roads. These bandits are

located at the over-passing bridge by Akil's farm (you'll pass under it on the

way to the Tavern). If you talk to Erol underneath it, he mentions being

attacked by the bandits and having seen them carrying overloading piles of

weapons (in other words, they couldn't carry them all and wound up dropping

some).

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 (unless

you've gone out of your way to do other things). There are 5 melee bandits and

one 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 you

to take the ornament to the water mages. At his first stopping point, leave him

be 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 to

mess with the bandits as you pull them by. The bandits get caught on terrain

really easily, so be sure to make wide turns around corners and such. The one

with the bow will be a bit tricky to kill, since instead of chasing you he will

shoot 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 the

first strike: block it. Quickly, attack forward, then immediately block again.

Establish this pattern of attack, block, attack, block, attack, block, and you

should 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 bandits

were wielding "Bandits' Rapier", essentially a dexterity-based sword without

the +5% bonus. There are also two of these Bandit Rapiers lying on the ground

near the campfire.

From here, summon your searching Will-o-the-Wisp and tell it to find you

close-quarters weapons. From now on, as you run it will seek out weapons. When

it finds one, it will make the weapon flash a few times along with a little

chime. 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 already

ahead of it, when it spots a weapon ahead of you, you'll likely pass it before

the wisp gets there. So be sure to walk about 30 feet and take a break to make

sure the wisp hasn't found anything.

From here, you should find a slight trail of these Bandit Rapiers leading in

the direction towards Bengar's farm. You can talk to Bengar and ask if he saw

any bandits come through for +50 EXP, and he will tell you that there indeed

were some comming by. You can ask the Pass guard, but he won't have much to say

about it. Follow the trail to the stone stairs south of Bengar's house into the

enclosed field. On the right, you will see a small bandit camp. There are a few

bandits 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 tent

and get stuck in there, so that you can deal with them one at a time. Once they

are 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 tell

you about his date with Lucia being interrupted by bandits. This will activate

the new quest "Lucia" (K.3.Q.14). Ask Elvrich all topics about the bandits for

more information in "Where Are the Missing People?" and if he saw any weapons

with the bandits. He will indicate that the next series of information can be

found in the woods behind Sekob's farm. Tell him to go back to town before you

leave.

You can re-summon the wisp and follow the weapon trail as it leads its way to

Sekob'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. Continue

following 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 also

find a Farewell letter from Lucia in the tent.

Return to town and confront Fernando about this. He will admit that he was in

fact involved with the bandits for +100 EXP. You can take a bribe from him of

200g and a Wooden Skin ring (+3 arrow protection) with +100 EXP, or turn him

over to the militia. Turn him in; the bribe is practically worthless. Go talk

to 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 that

he's getting tired and could use some relief. You won't be able to do anything

about 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 go

about 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 important

members 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 choose

to 'End' the conversation after picking up the quest "Where Are the Missing

People?"), he will grumble about having to go half-way across the island to

get it to the magicians. You can offer to take it, but he will resolve to take

it himself, though offering you to accompany him. However, he is supposed to

be keeping watch on the harbor in case more people disappear, so before he can

leave, 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 the

way he will stop and tell you about what they're up to; that they're exploring

an excavation site of an ancient culture. At certain points, he stops and waits

for you to tell him to move on. When he does this, you can run off the trail

and pull extra mobs for him to kill (since you get the exp for the stuff that

he kills). Be careful when he's not waiting on you; if you go too far off the

trail 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 little

ways 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-passing

bridge down to him for him to kill, since you'll be needing to confront these

guys 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 the

path 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 wargs

back up to him for exp.

At his fourth stopping point, you can *try* to pull the Shadowbeasts in the

cave 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 easily

and 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 ways

back to him.

When you finally get to the northeastern excavation site, Lares will wait for

you at the entrance to the large pit. If you get near enough to target him he

will automatically bring you into conversation and give you the ornament to

take 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 that

you'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 Portal

lobby 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 to

accompany 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. He

tells you to check the merchants in the Trading District near the NE gate. One

of them should be able to provide him some relief. To do this, simply wear the

ring and talk to Baltram. Before you're able to choose any conversation topics

he 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 tell

him 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. He

can't do much for you about weapons aside from suggesting buying something from

one 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 sleep

scroll and casting it on the guard next to Matteo's store (the one who stops

you 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 with

some 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-lender

owes him a favor and that you can ask him for money. Don't pick this option

first if you want to hear the others, for some reason when you ask about money

the other options disappear. After he tells you this, you can borrow 200g from

Lehmar 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 you

choose it, you can't select another one. This doesn't limit you to joining the

guild 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. See

below 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 the

option to go with him to deliver the ornament to the Water Mages. The problem

here is that ornament is part of the key to unlocking the portal. So, if he

doesn't deliver it, you can't go to Jharkendar. I've been told that in Ch.3

the 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 as

early 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, some

person 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 stand

and watch the crates that night.

Go find a bed somewhere and sleep until midnight, and return to the Provisions

area. You will find Rangar, the drunken militia-man rummaging through some of

the crates. When you catch him, you're rewarded +300 EXP and he begins to get

nervous. Once you end the conversation he'll scamper back to his spot near

the 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 to

Andre (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 the

Militia 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 sends

you back to Vatras, since he himself is only involved with magicians on the

surface-level. When you tell Vatras that Lares sent you to him about joining

the 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 of

Fire by joining the Monastary, you will still be able to join the Circle of

Water later on (in Jharkendar).

Talk to Daron about wanting to join the Monastary, and then mention his mishap

with the statuette. He will suddenly get irritated about the subject and will

tell you that the statuette was a delivery to the Monastary. He picked it up

at the harbor, but on the way to the Monastary, he was robbed by a group of

goblins. All he knows about their location is that it was around Orlan's tavern

and that they're probably holing up in a cave somewhere near there. If you can

get 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 for

part 2 of "The Man With the Eyepatch" (K.5.Q.01.b). First go the the Dead Harpy

and begin to follow the road that leads to Onar's farm. On the left, you should

see a cave (there are wolves in front of it). If you wind up passing the lake

on your right, you've gone too far. The easy way to find it, if you don't know

where 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 than

one group at a time. If they're too difficult for you, you can lure them out

to Greg (if you're doing this quest at the same time) and he can kill them. On

one of the goblin's body, you will find a 'Valuable Statue of Innos'. Bring it

back 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 you

have brought the 'Valuable Statue of Innos', and he will direct you in to see

Gorax, giving you the key to the front door and +250 EXP, along with your new

Novice Armor (only slightly better than your leather armor). Bring the Statue

to 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, he

mentions something about the earthquakes in the northeast as being another

troubling 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 Cord

and Onar's farm. Along with helping you get into the Mercenaries, Cord will

also teach you combat skills without having any previous knowledge in them (he

normally 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 collecting

the rent from Sekob) Cord will tell you that he will take care of this if you

go to the bandit camp south of Onar's and see if you can find anything about

his buddy Patrick who's gone missing.

This sort of ties in with "Wanted Notes and Bandits" and "Where Are the Missing

People?", 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 you

where 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 tower

towards the back end of the camp. Dexter will mention his order to have you

killed and having not expected to see you show up there.

Ask him what he knows about the mercenary Patrick for +100 EXP, and Dexter will

lie about having no idea where he is now (though he does say that Patrick was

indeed 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 to

Torlof about joining (provided you've convinced at least a few mercenaries to

vote for you). You'll get +400 EXP and the Light Mercenary Armor when you

finally 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 a

tally for who all is missing. We'll re-visit this later in Jharkendar (a bit

at least). See J.1.Q.06.b

People who are missing:

Elvrich

Lucia

Monty

Pardos

Tonak

Telbor

Patrick

William

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 pretty

good weaponry early on in the game, and can play a role in helping you get in

with the militia (a new way in, added in the expansion). He is a member of the

Ring.

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 Healing

spell 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 seems

to 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 right

before the underpass to the paladins' ship on a small beach shore. He plays a

part in the Missing People quest, as his buddy William has gone missing. You

can also get a new quest out of him if you ask about his struggle with the

militia (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 all

his 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 the

problem Farim is having (talk to him about all the options if you can't talk

about Farim right away - the option will arise after you ask what he's doing

there). Martin will tell you to let Farim know that he will take care of his

problem and you'll get +50 EXP. Return to Farim for +100 EXP and an Aquamarine

stone.

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 along

with "The Bandits' Weapon Dealer" (K.3.Q.04), so you'll stumble upon this item

eventually by doing that quest. By talking to Elvrich at the enclosed field

SE of Bengar's farm, you find out that the bandits likely took the dish from

Lucia, 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 wall

until you come upon the bandit camp in the NW corner. One of the bandits has

Bromor's Golden Dish on him. Kill them all and acquire the dish off their dead

bodies. 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 fine

even without her.

K.3.C.6 - Skip

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

To get to skip, jump into the water from the harbor and swim to the right. You

will soon come to a small bay with a ship, some looted boxes, and a small camp

inhabited by a certain 'Skip'. When you talk to him, he reveals that he is a

wanted pirate. He mentions something about Baltram being late (K.3.Q.13). He

can give you some valuable information about Dexter and the missing people.

He tells you that the pirates have been doing business with the bandits, and

part of that business involved ferrying people to some uncharted region, but

he 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 the

leader'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 owes

Skip a shipment in exchange for some seaman's grog. If you go to Baltram and

ask him about this, you can offer to help with the deal. Baltram will give you

his 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 Baltram

asked for. Take the bottles to Baltram and let him know the news. He will be

irked at only getting 2, but knows better than to mess with pirates. This will

get 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 his

bandit 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 about

Lucia (when he's at the bandit camp) he tells you she was hauled off to the

woods 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 believe

that she will return. He gives you the letter back. This does not complete the

quest, 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 the

bridge leading from Akil's farm to the Tavern. When you talk to him, you can

ask what happened to him, and he'll explain that he was attacked by bandits on

the bridge, activating the "Merchant Raids" (K.4.Q.01) quest. He mentions that

he 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 tell

you 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 his

wagon. You can offer to help and get the quest. Now, you can either just give

him 3 tablets that you've found elsewhere, or, kill the bandits on the bridge

and take the 3 tablets off their corpses. You'll likely have a difficult time

fighting these, since there're six of them. The easiest way to kill them is

to lure them to Lares when he stops to tell you about the Ring of Water

in the quest "The Water Mages" (K.3.Q.05). You might have to go into Akil's

house and sleep until midnight to do this most effectively, since Ehnim and/or

Egill is likely to attack them and get killed.

The bandits get stuck on certain landscape formations easily, so take a wide

berth around turns and corners. There are 5 bandits using swords, and one who

will shoot at you with a bow; the 5 melee are easy to pull to Lares, but the

sixth 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 are

out of the way (I did it with the Wolf Knife and 10% 1H). Run in a zig-zag

pattern to avoid getting hit by the arrows. Once you're close enough, he'll

draw his sword. Now, establish a pattern of block, attack, block, attack, and

you should kill him (steadily) without getting killed. Let him give the first

attack. Block it, and immediately after, hit him once, then go straight into

another block. He'll go down easily.

Take the stone tablets off the dead bodies (there are 3 in total, spread across

one 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 strength

and 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 Buster

hangs out. By asking him about the hut, you're rewarded +50 EXP. His inventory

contains a few nice things, such as a Life Elixer potion (+20 max HP), a STR

amulet (+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 can

ask 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'd

be breaking rule #1) for +50 EXP. When you later ask about renting a bed, he

won't charge you, being a brother of the ring, and will give you the key to the

upstairs rooms.

K.5.C.2 - Greg

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

If you talked to Greg when he was at Lobart's farm outside the city gates, he

will now be sitting on a bench outside the Dead Harpy, still wearing the farmer

garb you gave him earlier. You can strike up a conversation with him to provide

some more help/suggestions for him. There's nothing much accomplished, besides

him 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 he

was in Khorinis, and could use your help to re-collect them. Whenever you're

ready, tell him to go to the cave. Follow him there, just down the road a bit

towards Onar's farm. When you get to the entrance, he'll hand you a pick-axe

and send you in to get the stuff. "X marks the spot" he says. He'll stay back

and 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 lure

them out to Greg for him to kill, though you won't get the exp for it. Go to

the 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 his

other four stashes, and will be waiting at the crossroads between Onar's farm

and 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 gold

chalice. Return to Greg at the crossroads between Sekob and Onar's farms, and

give 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'll

say that he's not sure if that's the guy's name or not. If you've talked to

Skip 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 things

that 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 of

asking 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, even

though he worked for the Water Mages back in the Colony. He relies on Lares for

most 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 out

more 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 of

Water. If you were told by Lares in "The Simple Way into the Mercenaries", you

will 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 your

1H and 2H sword skills without having to be at the minimum 30% like he normally

does.

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 a

different guild, yet still find out about another Missing Person and get some

easy exp. In order to do this quest, you have to be guildless and express

interest in joining the Mercenaries (though you don't actually have to in the

end).

Tell Cord that you want his help joining the Mercenaries, and he will agree to

help you pass Torlof's Test if you help him. Pick up Torlof's quest (either

collecting the rent from Sekob or driving the Militia from Bengar's farm (the

latter 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 the

bandits. 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 citizens

from Khorinis and ship them off the the northeast to serve as slaves for the

former 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 the

wanted posters. Raven knows how much of a trouble-maker you can be, so he's

decided to try to make sure you don't get involved right off the bat. There

really isn't much content to this quest, since it doesn't complete when you

talk to Dexter, doesn't seem to progress any when you're in Jharkendar, and

self-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 can

warn Dexter that 'a man with an eyepatch' is looking for him for +100 EXP. He

responds 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. In

order to get it, go to the tower with the spiral staircase (if you take a left

before crossing the bridge with the Guard). Once at the top, climb up onto one

of 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 you

engage the bandits in combat, at which point he will show up and begin to fight

the 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 bandits

Greg will show up and will start attacking and killing the bandits for you. If

you haven't talked to Dexter just yet, Greg will run into Dexter's house and

kill him (if he's there). It's advisable to talk to Dexter before letting Greg

show 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 Greg

went to kill him. I was experimenting with different outcomes, and thus didn't

do 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 Dexter

was, and all I could say was "Well he *was* here,". It turned out Dexter had

scampered 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 +100

EXP for talking to Greg. Greg will say different things if you talked to Dexter

or not, and if you killed Dexter or if Greg killed Dexter. In short, he tells

you to search Dexter's body. You will find a note in his inventory. Read the

note yourself (it plays a role in "Where Are the Missing People?") and take

it back to Greg for him to read.

That note apparently doesn't help him. He had wanted to try to find a way to

get back to the north-eastern district without a boat, and hoped Dexter knew a

way. 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 respond

that 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 you

run 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 leading

to 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 will

get +50 EXP and can find out more about him and his tasks. He is supposed to

keep an eye on the Pass, but since the Paladins have locked it up, there hasn't

been 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 Dragon

Snapper Horns.

K.1.A.7 - The Water Mages' Site

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

This is the region marked on the "Very Old Map" that Brahim suggests may be a

treasure map. In the original G2, it didn't serve much purpose besides a few

extra EXP points and a free Orc Slayer, the strongest 1H available in the game

before Ch.5 when you can learn how to forge magic ore weapons or consecrate

a Paladin's Sword into the Wrath of Innos.

In NotR, however, this region now contains an underground 'temple' with a magic

portal that the Water Mages believe leads to an ancient lost civilization.

Around this region you can see/hear/feel the effects of minor earthquakes. The

mages 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 the

next demension.

K.7.C.1 - Saturas

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

When you first bump into Saturas he gets furious, recognizing you as the guy

who sabatoged the Water Magicians' plans back in the Penal Colony. You then

get to watch an FMV that was featured in G1 of you absorbing the power of the

magic ore mound into Uriziel (the uber sword).

When you ask to join the Ring, Saturas merely says that he hasn't any time for

any 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 that

you'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 Riordian

to him (K.7.Q.01).

K.7.Q.01 - "Riordian"

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

This is a rather simple quest; simply continue down the vault to the left and

you will see Riordian studying the images on the wall. Tell him that Saturas

wants 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, Riordian

can teach your Will-o-the-Wisp to search for things other than close-range

weaponry (K.7.P.01).

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

of alchemy.

K.7.P.01 - Training the Will-o-the-Wisp

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

Riordian, upon Vatras' advice, can teach your Wisp to find things other than

just 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 (like

he did back in the New Camp in the Colony). For now, his inventory isn't that

impressive, consisting mostly of just simple spell scrolls. However, once

through 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 portal

leads 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 the

quickest way back to town, and he will tell you 'back the way you came', and

then 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 they

have found at least two of these stones. You can demand the key, and use it on

the 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 stone

will 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 the

orc when you're first being escorted out to this region. If you did not, be

ready to run like hell. You can eat a bit of snapperweed before stepping on

the portal if you need to.

When you step on this portal outside of Khorinis, it takes you to a place near

the Dead Harpy Tavern (the second stone that Merdarion told you about). If you

turn around you'll see a boarded-up crevasse with a locked door. Go to the

tavern and talk to Orland about portals (+50 EXP). He'll give you the key if

you ask for it. Return to the locked door and step inside. Loot the things on

the 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.

K.7.C.5 - Myxir

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

Myxir can tell you more about the 'Stone Tablets' that you've been finding. He

knows that they contain knowledge about combat and inner abilities of the lost

culture. 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 you

will find, which increase your base attributes or your weapon-efficiency, thus

saving you a lot of LP's. You will also need it later on to read important

things in Jharkendar.

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)

K.7.C.6 - Nefarius

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

Nefarius is the guy in charge of trying to activate the Portal. As he tells

you, 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 create

runes, 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 Lares

that Lares gave to you to give to Nefarius, he gets delighted and decides to

send you out to find the other 3 ornaments to form the key. He hands you a map

which shows the location of the other 3: one at Sekob's farm, one in the woods

north of Khorinis, and one at Lobart's farm, each found by activating stone

circles. When you tell Saturas about Nefarius' task for you, and show him the

map, he tells you to find someone to accompany you in the forest so that you

don'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 of

Sekob'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 probably

need to be around lvl 15 or higher with a high-damaging weapon and a good set

of armor to be able to take its hits.

The Second Ornament: Go to Lobart's Farm. Cavalorn is now standing at the stone

circle on the high hill behind his house. When you ask him about it, he tells

you that he already talked to Lobart, and he said that he and his farmers had

already 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 about

the ornament. He will send you to Lord Hagen. Ask him for the ornament, and he

will 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 harbor

district 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 you

to the entrance. At the entrance, he'll double-check that you're sure you want

to go in. Tell him you want to go. Once again, you'll get the EXP for the mobs

that 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 you

want. There are plenty wargs, orc warriors, and skeletons to be killed for up

to 300 EXP a pop. Press all the buttons on the stone circle and the sentinel

will arise. Kill it for another +180 EXP, and take the ornament off of it. When

you 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 the

pieces. 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 broken

artifact. Follow him to the room where Saturas resides, and the water mages

will perform an incantation. Wait for Nefarius to automatically tell you it's

complete - he will give it to Saturas for you to get from him. However, you

cannot get the key until you've joined the ranks of the Ring of Water and have

been given a note from Vatras to give to Saturas.

You recieve Vatras' letter for Saturas once you're a member of the Ring of

Water; 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 you

are to accompany the water mages through the portal to stop Raven and free the

slaves. Deliver the letter to Saturas for +100 EXP, and he will give you the

key. Now, use it on the small, circular key-hole to the left of the portal.

In you go.

J.1.A.1 - The Ruins

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

When you come out of the portal, you find yourself in a ruined temple similar

to the one you were at on the other side of the portal. When you navigate to

the outdoor areas, you find a large, ruined temple district with step-pattern

levels 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 will

tell 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 can

and 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 of

Water in the few days they've been in the new area. One of them, Lance, was

sent 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, but

venture off the road to the right a bit before the path fades away and meets

up with the log bridge. Lance's body can be found just a few feet from the

edge of the swamp. Loot his body, being sure to get his Aquamarine ring. Return

to Saturas and tell him you found Lance's body for +100 EXP. He will say that

the bandits likely did him in since he wasn't one of them. Give Saturas Lance's

ring for another +200 EXP.

J.1.Q.02.a - "Raven"

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

This is the quest to stop Raven from getting into the Temple, and ultimately

getting the artifact in it. You won't actually be able to fight him or get

anywhere 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 Saturas

about:

- 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. You

won't be able to do anything about this quest until later on, when you're

actually inside the Bandit Camp. Once you're in the gold mine, talk to Patrick

to 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 by

in 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 info

about the mansions. The quest will then go side-by-side with "The Mansions of

the Builders" (J.1.Q.10).

You can find the following relics: Yellow Stone Tablet from the Library of the

Scholars in the Canyon, Purple Stone Tablet from the Mansion of the Guardians

of the Dead in the south-eastern Valley, Blue Stone Tablet from the House of

the Priests in the south-western Valley, Green Stone Tablet from the House of

the Healers in the Swamp, and the Red Stone Tablet from the Fortress of the

Warriors in the northeast. Consult the map of Jharkendar in the images section

for 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 the

other four are; rather, you need to kill Esteban in the Bandit Camp at some

point to get them. He tasks you with the quest "Attempted Murder", and you're

supposed to kill him after that and get 5 Red Stone Tablets, one of which you

bring back to Saturas.

For each tablet you bring to Saturas, you recieve +400 EXP and +200g, for a

total of +2000 EXP and +1000g.

You later find out that these relics reveal insight to safely navigating the

Temple of Adanos, without suffering a horrible death to booby traps. When you

are ready to enter the Temple, Saturas will give them back to you for you to

use.


J.1.Q.05 - "Bandit Armor"

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

In order to get into the Bandit Camp you need to get yourself a set of their

armor to sneak in. You can, in theory, just go in without it and kill every

bandit that attacks you on your way up to the Temple, but that isn't as fun

as playing the role you're intended to and doing the quests. Saturas suggests

bartering with the Pirates for armor.

You can ask Alligator Jack, standing to the west of the Ruins, about Bandit

Armor, and he will tell you that there was at one point a set in the Pirate

Camp. 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 be

kept in Greg's hut, but since he's in Khorinis he's put Francis in charge of

the 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 Greg

4) 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 triggering

Greg to show up at the camp. You can ask him about the armor, but he won't

give it to you until you help improve morale in the camp and securing the

safety 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 Bones

to 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 armor

and +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 ruined

building along the outer circle of the Portal Ruins to the east. This fisherman

is William, Farim's missing buddy. You can find his body and read a note that

was 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 when

you'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 with

Quarhodron. 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 of

Beliar - That is what Raven's after.

Once you've killed Raven and taken the Claw of Beliar from him, you can bring

it back to Saturas and you get to work on quest. It's short and sweet; he will

tell 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 the

sea'). 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 sword

to your own use. You aren't rewarded with any EXP for this option, but it's the

more fun one in my opinion. You can play with the Claw for the rest of the game

including the Dragon Hunt, which adds a new level of fun to the game. You can

bring the Claw to Xardas back in Khorinis for +450 EXP, so if you want some

extra 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 Myxir

into 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, though

you 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 tell

you that it should be safe to use the Portal to go back to Khorinis (which it

is).

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 the

wrath 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 info

on 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 ones

in the 'Circle of Water' (which you don't have to learn separately) featuring

the 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 moderately

effective damage. He also has just about every spell scroll you could need,

some rune-making materials, and coolest of all, portable 'Spell Books' which

contain the list of runes that can be made for each Circle and the materials

needed for each rune. Also, be sure to buy a Map of Jharkendar from him. You

can acquire one in Greg's hut, complete with locations of buried treasure, but

its best to have one right off the bat, since you won't be able to get that

map 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 the

Builders kept close to their ancestry by summoning spirits/ghosts of deceased

elders 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 Lecterns

and Relics that you'll come by. The Lecterns tell the story of Jharkendar, and

the 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 Raven

mutters an incantation and steps into the doors, sealing them behind him, you

return to Saturas to tell him this news. He will tell you to go to Myxir; you

have 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 doors

since he was one of the two who sealed them in the first place. Since the grave

of 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. Before

you set out to find it, he gives you a piece of paper with the words that are

supposed to summon Quarhodron. He mentions Y'Berion, the leader of the Sect

Camp in the Colony that worshipped the Sleeper, believing it to be their savior

rather than a Demon Lord.

To find Quarhodron's grave, go to the Hermit's house, and follow the path as it

heads north from the Teleporter Stone. Keep an eye on the left, and just as the

path begins to twist vertically up and to the right, you should see a small

outcropping in the cliff wall with a small path that leads up it. Follow that

path as it winds up and around to the plateau of the grave. You can also use

the map of Jharkendar hosted here on GameFAQs in the images section for a map

marker.

In front of the grave is a troll, complete with a few goblins. Lure the troll

away from the goblins so that you can take the time to kill it. Use the trick

for slaying trolls; get in close and strafe around its backside, hitting it 2

or 3 times periodically and continuing to keep behind it. Eventually, it will

die for +500 EXP and give you the freedom to kill the goblins and head into

the 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 hall

and 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 hundred

gold, 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 to

him 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 primarily

in the Lecterns at the Library of the Scholars in the Canyon, and from the

stories you've heard from the Water Mages. Quarhodron will not tell you which

questions you get wrong, so it can be a real pain to get them right. There

are seven questions, each with six options. So, it would take a lot of trial

and error to get them right. One of which, he tells you is impossible for you

to 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 what

the Water Mages told you. The tricky part is that it requires one option to

be used twice, which may have thrown some off. Anyway, those are the answers

to his questions, and he will now agree to help you. Demand the key to the

Temple of Adanos, thus starting the quest "The Chambers of the Temple". He will

give you 'Quarhodron's Stone Tablet' which when read at the doors will grant

you 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 had

a 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 must

use 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 hidden

Yellow: I, against the decision of the 3, built the first trap

Blue: 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 in

particular giving you any direct advice.

It's possible that the red one simply means that you shouldn't even be able to

get 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. The

purple 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 Quarhodron

about it, but it's fairly simple to get through.


J.1.C.5 - Riordian

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

Riordian, as informed by Saturas, can give you more information about the land

surrounding 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 pirate

camp; 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 the

Council of Five. Riordian can tell you more. He will send you out to explore

the ancient mansions. You will find colored stone tablets in each one to give

to 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 you

have 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 Scholars

in the Canyon, he tasks you with killing them; he'd rather not have them in

that area. If you haven't killed them already, re-visit the Canyon and kill

them. Use the tips for killing orcs in the Guide [G.2]; try to pull them away

in 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 kill

them.

Once you've killed the Leader of the Horde, you can return to Riordian to

complete 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 in

front of the Portal. When you look at the map, you notice there are ten blue

dots; these mark the locations of the stones. As you see on the map, the five

at the Portal are arranged in a pentagon; each port leads to a dot in the area

that it represtents in the pentagram. Thus, you can find the five portal dots

in the five areas of the map. He will give you a Focus Stone to place on a

pedestal near the stones to activate them.

These stones were used in the first Gothic originally to form the magic Barrier

to keep the prisoners in. They were later collected by the Hero for the Water

Mages to use on their large mound of magic ore, which they were going to use

to 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 came

past earlier. Go into the temple and place the Focus Stone on the pedestal up

the small incline and step onto the stone. It will take you back outside to

the pentagon. Tell Merdarion you used one of them for +500 EXP and +150g. You

can then step back on the teleporter stone for another +100 EXP and a journal

entry 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 to

get to, since you have to complete the quests to get into the camp, and then

into 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 to

talk 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.


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

Standing just outside the Portal Ruins to the west is Alligator Jack. Just by

his 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 Water

Mages). You can ask him about acquiring some Bandit Armor, and he will tell

you that they have or at least had a set in the Pirate Camp to the west. Upon

being asked how to get there, he will offer to take you, but you'll have to

help 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 edible

thing in the valley is the Swamp Rats, however disgusting that sounds. When

you are ready, he will set out to his favorite rat spot; The Hollow. Follow

him through the cave tunnel and down the side-path along the lake. You'll get

EXP for everything that he kills along the way. At the Hollow, you find a mere

3 Swamp Rats, which is only about half of what Jack needs. He tells you that

the 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; you

can save 100 gold on the entrance fee to the camp, and this may be about your

only chance to actually talk to him.

At the Canyon, you will kill a few more Swamp Rats. Once they're dead, he will

give you 10 chunks of meat, regardless of whether or not you got all the meat

off the corpses. This will give you the quest "Meat for Morgan", and put you

right 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 also

got a nice atmosphere and music. Before you can do any of the quests in the

overview, you will first have to get into the camp (J.2.P.1).


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

After you've completed "Rat Hunt" he's now sitting in a small hut/canopy to

the left of the Palisade gate where Henry stands. He's also found standing a

short 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 coin

discount on your admission fee with Henry. When you're in, follow the shore

line around to the right and find Morgan lying on a cot. Wake him up, let him

drink 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), and

how 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 can

pick 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, which

might be chump change for you by now. There are, however, a few things that

can 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 you

are 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 outside

the camp. He advises you not to try to take them on yourself, since he'll be

sending 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 price

to enter the camp. HOWEVER: if you wait until you've joined, you can take one

of 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 join

his 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 done

and 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 get

hit on the way there and kill them, they're fairly simple, espeicially with

a pirate helper. Be careful not to aggro the mantises around to the side of

the 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 to

Henry 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 get

the wood for the Palisade. Once you've completed "The Tower" you can ask Henry

if there's anything else to be done, and he will send you to tell Malcolm - or

rather Owen, to hurry up with the wood.

Follow the path back the way you came from the Portal Ruins to the spot where

you saw Malcolm earlier. You'll notice he's no longer there. Climb up the rock

structures 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 a

pitfall 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 you

that he will send it to the camp 'sooner or later'. Go back to Henry and tell

him 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 to

use 2H weapons.

J.2.C.3 - Bones

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

There's not a lot of stuff with Bones, since he doesn't want to be disturbed

because 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 of

him. He will tell you about Morgan and Henry training you 1H and 2H skills

respectively, and that Jack could teach you about hunting. He also suggests

Samuel (who doesn't really teach you anything, he may have meant Brandon, who

trains 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 Belt

of 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 greedy

bastard who likes to take all the booty for himself. You can further inquire

about 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 he

often saw Greg on the southern beach, and that Greg said 'Death himself watches

your compass'.

From Garett, head to the sea and follow the shore to the left around the large

jutting-out rock formation and you'll come to another beach. Here are some

lizards 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. If

you lack scrolls or simply want to save them, you can use the strategy for

fighting them in the Tips section of this FAQ.

Continue following the beach around and you will come to a tree with a skeleton

hanging from it, along with a red 'X' by the base of the tree. With a pick axe

in 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 the

Warrior 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's

so very thirsty from being around the fire all day. Offer him a bottle of Grog

that 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 a

merchant vessel that hit a reef, and now all of its goods are washing up along

the shore, and he wants to go loot it.

You can then go do so yourself. In order to find the goods the easiest, have

the mouse turned on and pull it under the water. You can see things within a

15-20 foot distance like this. Or, you can more effectively pull it down to

water-level so that the water rises and falls along the lens. Like this, when

the water rises above the lens, you can see everything underneath clear as day

at 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 some

form of payment before you can learn from him. In true pirate nature, offer to

buy him a drink and he will agree. Try to give him some Grog, and he will get

disgusted at the notion. He wants something a bit stronger, one of Samuel's

special 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 find

out what it does) and bring it back to Brandon.

You probably noticed that you're running at double-speed now. The Hasty Herring

has the same effects as eating a plant of Snapperweed or drinking a Potion of

Run Speed. It seems to last about 2 minutes, and costs a paltry 30g, so it may

be 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 and

Dexterity.

J.2.C.7 - Matt

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

You can't pick up any quests from him, but he can tell you that the bandits

seem to be rolling in gold, and that they never paid for their last shipment

that they bought from the bandits. You can talk to Skip about this for his

quest. 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 talked

to him), but that he also recognizes your face on a Wanted Poster, the very

one you've already heard about from the Bandit on the path from Xardas' Tower

and 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 to

Khorinis, 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, will

start this quest. They were supposed to sell 20 bottles of Grog to the bandits

but never came back. Skip suspects they're dead. He tells you that Morgan and

Bill went out to look for them, but never found anything. You can then go to

Bill and Morgan and ask them about it.

Bill was good friends of theirs, and will tell you that they often hung out at

a cave to the east of the camp. He will tell you to talk to Jack for more info

on the cave.

Morgan won't tell you much, other than Angus still had a ring that once was

Morgan'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. Go

down the path to the Hollow at the lake. Swim into the water to some rocks on

the cliff wall to the right (if you're facing the lake). You'll notice you can

climb up them to a cave.

In the cave are the bodies of Hank and Angus, which you can get 2 old coins

and Morgan's Ring off of. Go back and confirm this news for Skip; he will tell

you go break the news (gently) to Bill, getting you "The Murderer of Anugs and

Hank" (J.2.Q.8).

As far as I know, the only way to complete this quest is to buy the Grog off

of Samuel or Lucia (in the bandit camp), since Juan (who you later find out

from various sources, is the one who killed Angus and Hank) doesn't have the

Grog 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 same

that were stolen from the pirates) for +200 EXP. Skip will also give you either

200g or a Ring of Ore Skin, which you probably already have one or two of, and

will likely find more of in your quests; it's not worth much, I'd take the gold

to 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 pirates

brought 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 used

to trade with them, but they since haven't paid for their last shipment, and

have assumably done away with Hank and Angus, the delivery guys. Asking more

about 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 any

good if the bandits actually did launch an attack. You can ask him where he

comes from, and he will inform you that he used to live in Khorinis, living

off of lifting peoples' pockets, but later joined with the pirates to avoid

constantly 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 10LP

but 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 you

break the news to Bill, he will want the name of the guy who did it. In order

to find this out, you'll first need the Bandit Armor in order to talk to some

of the bandits.

Once you have the Armor, go into the Swamp and find Logan; follow the first

log bridge to Sancho, go straight past another log bridge to the islet with

Miguel, 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 match

up 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 attacked

by Juan, who killed the pirate traders. Juan took the goods from the pirates

and chased after Tom, who was too fast for Juan to keep up with. These traders

sound 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 in

the 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. Talk

to him, and he will assume you're an errand boy for Esteban, but that he won't

cough 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. Once

he'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 be

used 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 sure

the beasts around the camp don't get too close and to keep the pirates supplied

with 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 ask

Morgan to join his raiding troup, and he will gladly let you in. Your first

task 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 the

northern 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 the

strategy 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 he

wants 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 the

bow 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 and

knock 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, just

past 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 do

with 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 recipe

for Lou's Hammer and Lou's Double Hammer that you get from Snaf and Lou's

stash at the bandit camp for +100 EXP each. You can then take them back from

him 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 be

able 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's

Double Hammer - I had thought I could use it to KO someone, like Scatty, for

instance, in J.3.P.10 - A Beer for Scatty, since its description says it will

knock-out even the heaviest drinker. However, there doesn't seem to be any use

for the drink, besides the EXP from Samuel. If you drink it, it damages your

HP 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 will

have to first go through Francis. There are a few ways to get it, with an

optimum 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 has

the key, you can ask Skip for advice; he tells you to ask Samuel, since he

knows almost everything about everyone in the camp, and can likely tell you

about some leverage to get over Francis. Samuel will tell you about something

very 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 right

wall of the canyon. You'll likely run into some Razors on the way, and the few

Mine Crawlers inside. There is a red 'X' that you can dig up, one of the items

you come by is a 'Treasure Chest'. You can open it in your inventory to get

a Paybook and 153 gold coins.

You can use the Paybook now and Francis will give you the key, but there is a

better way to do this. First, pick the key off of him, then beat him up (even

without 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 Skin

Ring (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 gold

nuggets, 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 him

some questions, like his ship and how he got here. Despite his attitude about

Water Mages and a magic portal when you told him back at Dexter's camp, he

wound 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 that

he 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 the

canyon, 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 well

be 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 for

you 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 bench

across from Garett.

Enter the Canyon and just keep an eye out for the razors. You should find all

5 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 one

on the other side of a large boulder or something.

Once they're dead, the pirates will be ready to go back, but will stay with

you to hunt, so long as you keep within the Canyon. You can take them down to

the Orcs outside the Library if you haven't already killed them. When you're

done 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 to

send in to check what's up with the bandits. He needs to know what's going on

over 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 outpost

with Sancho. You can talk to him and find out that Raven has a gold mine there

and 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 the

pirate 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 stairs

to the side of the Tree Saw, you will bump into Owen. Talking to him, you will

find out that he and Malcolm were attacked by a lurker, so they scurried up

into the cave. The lurker followed them, and Malcolm started to fight it. They

then 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 wood

in "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 'Stunt

Bonus' before hitting the water (be warned, if you do this multiple times, it

will deduct 100 EXP for sensing you trying to exploit unlimited EXP). Swim

down a bit and swim under a rock wall into an underground grotto, complete with

one lurker and one deceased Malcolm.

Kill the lurker and loot Malcolm's body for a 2H combat III tablet, along with

some other goodies in the area, including some gold, gold nuggets, mushrooms,

and rune-crafting materials. Continue past this grotto into the water and swim

down 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 that

he did.

J.1.A.3 - The Bandit Camp

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

This place brings back a lot of memories if you played the first Gothic, due

to the fact that you run into so many old friends and enemies in here. A lot

of the bandit camp is composed of ex-members of the Old Camp back in the

Colony. 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 the

quests to get up to the mine and temple. Just a warning, you will be attacked

by 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 bandit

in sight, but that isn't as fun as playing the role and sneaking in. You get

a lot more content out of the game if you play them with the Bandit Armor, and

it is all-around much more enjoyable. You can come back later and kill any of

them that you please for exp/loot, but try not to kill any that can be spared

for 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 Portal

Ruins. 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't

go straight to the gold mine - you have to first work for Franco before you

can go in. He mentions that Franco got the job by killing Fletcher, the old

leader 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 camp

entrance. Miguel tells you about his history, working for Ignaz the alchemist.

He liked to experiment with brewing mind altering potions, and one day Ignaz

drank 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-restoring

potion 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 swamp

until Thorus calls for more diggers. You'll eventually have to kill him to

get into the camp, but hold off on this; you can get extra experience by doing

his 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, but

you 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 you

can get in, Franco will have a few tasks for you. 1) Help Logan with the

Swampsharks, and 2) Get him a green stone tablet. You can tell him to give you

one NOW, which will engage him in combat; if you kill him, good game, you'll

have to later, but it's best to hold off. First, he will send you to Ramon to

see if Thorus needs a new person. Ramon will confirm this; go back to Franco

and 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 the

two 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 will

hear 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 to

Edgor, go back to Sancho and turn left to cross the log bridge. Edgor and a

bandit will be sitting around or near a small campfire. Talk to him and find

out that he hasn't gotten it yet. As you will have to do in "The Mansions of

the Builders" (if you haven't already) you have to go explore the mansion in

the 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 was

next on the list so he goes in now. Not to mention, he'd also like to keep you

around, 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't

interfere.

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 the

position so that there will be a slot open for you. Thus, you get entrance into

the lower Bandit Camp.

J.3.C.4 - Logan

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

From the entrance to the Lower Bandit Camp (where you meet Franco), go towards

Miguel and turn right on his islet. Follow the log bridge to a strip of land

with 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'll

have to do this for Franco if you haven't picked up the quest, but don't worry

if you haven't. If you've already killed them with Logan, you can instantly

tell Franco you've done it, without having to leave. Swampsharks are constantly

getting closer and closer to Logan's camp site, and he needs help fending them

off.

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 reward

for 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 can

fulfill. Talk to Tom and find out about his troubles with Juan; he was in good

connections with the pirates and often ran trading deals for the other bandits

with them. One day, Juan popped out of the background and attacked Tom and the

pirates, 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 still

around; Juan was working for Esteban, and so now Esteban will surely punish

Tom for his dealings with the pirates. He tells you that Fisk and Huno both

had shipments that he was going to pick-up.

After you've completed "Attempted Murder" (J.3.Q.5) and killed Esteban, you

can return to Tom and tell him that Esteban is dead for +100 EXP. He will now

be 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 7g

off 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 the

green stone tablet from him. Edgor will tell you that he hasn't even been to

try to get it, because he knows how dangerous old ruined buildings in the swamp

are. 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 a

ruined 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 between

the two burial caskets. Open the chest and loot the Green Stone Tablets (one

for 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 remove

stingers (100g, 5 LP), and how to get the secretion from the stingers. He hates

bloodflies 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 the

tavern. 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 wanted

posters and will strike a deal with you; in short, he'll turn you over to the

camp if you don't agree to it. Agree to it, for now he'll just send you to

Esteban to talk to him about a murderer.

Once you've had your chat with Esteban and picked up "Attempted Murder", go

back Senyan, and he will give his final ultimatum: figure out who the murderer

is 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 to

talk, say 'no' and kill him. He'll shout something to the camp, but no one will

attack you, so you're safe. If you agree to it, you can still turn around and

kill him anyway, except you'll have the quest sitting idly in your log, unable

to be finished until you kill Raven and 'complete' all the idle quests. No big

deal.

J.3.C.8 - Esteban

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

Esteban is basically the 'leader' of the Lower Camp. He works jointly with

Thorus for keeping the mine supplied with diggers. So when Thorus needs someone

Esteban picks from the people in the lower camp, usually picking people who

he 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 bodyguards

if you try anything tricky with him. He will task you with finding out who was

behind the attempt on his life (his bodyguards killed the actual attacker, but

this person supposedly couldn't have thought of that himself, so Esteban thinks

someone put him up to it).

In order to get a Red Stone that will enable you to get past Thorus, you will

need to eventually kill Esteban, but play along and do his quest for extra

EXP 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's

side and who's not. Snaf is the first person you should talk to, because he

can tell you stuff about nearly every person in the camp (for a price, or free

if you get him a bottle of Lou's Hammer in "Hammer Booze"). Here's what Snaf

will tell you:

Finn is pro-Esteban

Lennar doesn't appear to think at all

Senyan is pro-Esteban

Emilio 'wouldn't bring flowers to Esteban's funeral'

Fisk is against Esteban

Paul is against Esteban

Huno - Snaf doesn't know anything about him

Snaf can also tell you your chances of finding the guy; in short, if you do

something good or bad. If you tell Finn that you're working for Esteban, you

supposedly 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 one

of 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 meet

up with the guy. Go upstairs and you'll run into Fisk. Talking to him, you find

out that he wants Esteban out of the way so that he can no longer ruin both the

trade business and extort gold out of his diggers of choice, which are the only

ones 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 you

that 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 fact

behind it. Esteban will send his guards to take care of Fisk and you can then

kill Esteban one-on-one; Fisk will deal with the guards.

Go back to Esteban and tell him this; he will of course send his bodyguards

away to meet Fisk at the tavern. When you ask him for your reward for finding

the guy behind the murder, the Red Stone pass into the mine, he will not give

you one, and had never intended to give you one. He wants to keep you in the

lower camp to keep doing tasks for him. Tell him you're going to give him what

for 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 finish

Tom's Problem (J.3.P.3). Go to Thorus to try to get into the mine and you will

pick 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.


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

Besides his use in "Attempted Murder", when you ask Finn if there's anything

you should know about mining, he will give you a tip that will increase your

mining efficiency by +10%

J.3.C.10 - Lennar

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

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

of him.


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

You can ask Lennar for advice on mining, and his logic will be that in him

telling you, you will be able to earn more gold, and thus he should get a share

of 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 the

Swamp Camp was to distribute the daily rations of swampweed reefers to camp

members. I believe he may have also had some sort of apprenticeship with Cor

Calom, the alchemist of the camp. He will speak unintelligibly until you do

his 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 cigs

on 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 for

a 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 swampweed

plants and one meadow knotweed. Roll the reefer at an alchemist's bench. You

can smoke them yourself for +10 EXP, but it's not worth it. Take the Green

Novice back to Fortuno for +250 EXP.

Fortuno's mind will no longer be tormenting him, but when you ask him what he

can recall, he can't remember anything. Looks like there's still some more to

be done. Talk to Miguel, the herbalist and potion-brewer just outside the camp

in the swamp. Ask him what he knows about mind-altering potions (since he was

initially 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 be

fatal 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 to

take 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 the

building that Garond is in. The red tear pepper can be bought from Zuris in

Khorinis 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 ask

how 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 Raven

had gotten all he needed out of Fortuno, he slipped memory-wiping drugs into

Fortuno's appetite and thus caused him to lose his memory. Raven is apparently

trying to get into the Temple of Adanos and has desecrated the shrine of a

deceased 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 picked

up "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 Hammer

Sauce. Accept the quest to get Snaf some Hammer Sauce, because he already has

the Fire Strips, but lacks the ingredients for the Hammer Sauce. He'll give

you the recipe for Lou's Hammer, which is what he needs. It will require one

lab flask, two turnips, one swampweed plant, one set of swampshark teeth, and

one 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 the

teeth from Swampsharks off Logan for 3 LP. They're quite valuable, so it may

be worthwhile if you want some spare cash. However, you can find a tooth by

itself, without having to learn the skill. To find it, go to Juan's cave in the

far East. While facing the cave, follow the wall closely as it leads away from

the cave to the right. You'll pass inbetween the wall and a large tree quite

soon. Next to a small tree stump, just past the large tree (it's right before

some old ruined pillars in a small pass between the cliffs) is a swampshark

tooth. Once you have everything, take it to an alchemist's bench and brew Lou's

Hammer.

Or, you can give the recipe to Samuel for +100 EXP at the cost of 30g. Once

drunk, 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 now

give you free information about Esteban's attacker in "Attempted Murder". Note

that 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 that

Lou has gone missing, probably got eaten by a swampshark. Problem is, he had

the key to the storeroom. Thus, if you can find the key, you get access to the

storeroom, which has a fair amount of loot to take.

Go to Logan's camp, to the right when leaving the Bandit Camp. Continue past

his strip of land into the swamp. One of the swampsharks here is the one that

ate Lou. If you killed it already, its corpse should still be there for you

to inspect and take the key off of. If you haven't killed it already, start

killing 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 a

lot 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 now

serving booze at Snaf's tavern in the Bandit Camp at Jharkendar. You can buy

some 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 Elvrich

from the bandits (K.3.Q.14). Ask her if she's from Khorinis for +100 EXP and

the final completion of this quest. You can then continue to talk to her about

the Paladins and how they're chosen of Innos and his warriors. She won't be

returning to Khorinis because of the Paladins, and has no interest in Elvrich

because he's a coward; according to her, when the bandits attacked, he didn't

lift a finger to save her. You can buy a +10 DEX accessory from her if you

desire 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. He

tells 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, in

part 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-axe

if you don't already have one (which you'll need in order to get free money

once 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" in

which case he'll sell the armor to you for 1400g. He's got a +10 STR accessory

that 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 you

have two references to Huno's involvement in the attempted assassination, you

can 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 to

prove yourself by getting his steel delivery, which he believes Esteban had

filched 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 Fisk

when you ask him about Esteban. At any rate, you'll have to wind up going to

Juan in the far East of the swamp in a lone cave. Talk to him and he'll tell

you to go get the money from Esteban before he'll do anything. Tell him you're

not working for Esteban and he'll attack you. You'll have to kill him at some

point to get the steel for Huno and lockpicks for Fisk, so go ahead and kill

him (be mindful that the other bandit will attack if you fight Juan). When he

is 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 upper

right 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 could

need for various tasks like brewing Lou's Hammer and combat neccessities. He

has two new weapons to NotR, the Storm Cudgel and Wind Cudgel, both of which

are fairly lame because they're probably far weaker than what you have by now

and 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 will

mention him being a victim himself; someone obscondered with a package of

lockpicks that were supposed to be delivered to him. You can offer to get it

back for him. He's mentioned that Juan probably had a hand in it, so you'll

have 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, and

he'll tell you to have Esteban send the money before he'll do anything. Tell

him you're not working for Esteban and he'll attack you. You'll have to kill

him to get the packages, so go ahead and finish him off. Note that the other

bandit will attack you if you fight Juan. Once Juan is dead, take the packages

off 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 also

give 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 the

mines, is a nameless bandit, whom you might easily overlook due to his lack of

a 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 only

gives 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 stew

pot bandit. You don't have much that you can do with him, because he'll attack

you if you wake him up, as warned by the stew pot bandit if you get too close

to him.

J.3.P.10 - Betty

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

Skinner has the sword 'Betty', which is the strongest-damaging Dexterity-based

sword available. It requires 110 DEX and deals 130 damage, equal to the Orc

Slayer. 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 quite

as 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 him

about the fall of the barrier and all of that. He's located at the top of the

pyramid-esque stairs leading up to the mine. He's the one who admits people in

to the mines, and he needs a red stone tablet. If you offer him any other color

he 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 get

access to 250g, and 24 gold nuggets.

J.3.Q.11 - "Three Stones - Three Diggers"

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

After completing "Attempted Murder" and acquiring 5 Red Stone Tablets from

Esteban, 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's

duties. 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 stone

from the pile you took from Esteban to let them in. There are 5 that you can

choose from, some of which have different benefits:

Lennar: +150 EXP, +10% mining

Finn: +150 EXP, +10% mining

Logan: +150 EXP

Paul: +150 EXP, 2 lumps of Ore

Emilio: +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 in

it doesn't really matter, so just pick based on what you think will benefit

you most.

Return to Thorus once you've given out 3 Red Stone Tablets, and he'll reward

you with +100 EXP and will finally admit you into the upper district, including

the 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-holder

character 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 to

follow Raven into the temple will only result in an abrupt end. The Gate Guard

will not allow you to go in the temple without permission from Bloodwyn, who

doesn't usually come out of the temple, except to inspect new veins of gold in

the mine (hint hint).

Once you're in the mine, you can clear out a horde of mine crawlers who have

taken over an entire section of the mine. Upon doing this, Bloodwyn will come

out to inspect the new vein. Talk to him, irritate him, and get in a fight with

him. 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 the

temple 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 the

Armor 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's

Henchmen, undead zombies with high weapon defense. You can kill them off the

same way you would kill regular zombies, just be sure to try to lure them over

one 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 that

leads further into the temple, but you will be stopped by an FMV. Raven prays

in 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 the

Guardians 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 his

marketeering business in the mine, selling necessities for mining. You can

talk to him about Raven, and find out more about him and Bloodwyn, and he'll

mention that you remind him of some other 'inquisitive fellow' who bit-the-dust

back when the barrier fell (but of course, you're there in front of him, he

just 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 from

many numerous other places.


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

Ask Scatty if he can give you any tips on mining, and he can add +5% to your

efficiency.

J.3.T.05 - Learning from Scatty

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

For 2 LP, Scatty can teach you another 10% efficiency in mining. You can get

up 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 by

than LP, though.

J.3.P.13 - A Beer for Scatty

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

While explaining what happened to Raven, Scatty will say that his throat is

really dry, but will continue to talk if you insist. After he's done with his

monologue 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 of

Scatty, 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 bottom

area.

J.3.P.14 - Gold Smelting

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

Crimson can smelt the gold nuggets you acquire into gold coins. He can make

one 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 find

Garaz, 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 mine

crawlers. He has no problem with you going down there, but that if you come

back 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 feel

free to go down and clear-out the mine crawlers. You'll get a bonus +500 EXP

once you've killed the final one. Return to Garaz and tell him you've killed

all of the mine crawlers; he'll tell you that Bloodwyn is on his way ("that's

what you wanted, right?"). He also tells you not to irritate Bloodwyn, as he

has a short temper.

Follow Bloodwyn down into the new vein and begin to talk to him. No matter what

you 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 you

slayed 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 the

others will direct you to him about trying to get them out. Patrick seems to

still 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 run

for it, but didn't survive. Since then, they've been kind of reluctant to try

to get out. The only way they'll make an attempt is if the Slave Guard lets

them out without struggle.

Talk to the Slave Guard and he'll tell you he can't do anything without word

from 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 about

this. 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 systematically

kill-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 foot

in towns where he could get a sense of community. Tell him that you'll kill

Raven, 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 grub

from the chef.

Return to Patrick and tell him they're free for +500 EXP. He says that he

knows the perfect place to go (Tom's Cave, out by Logan's area). You can find

them 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; if

you don't offer it to him this first time, you'll never get to offer him one

again, so if you want the EXP, be sure to do it that first time you talk to

him.

J.3.C.25 - Monty

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

Monty is also in an isolated corner, working on the gold veins. He tells you

to talk to Patrick, and that Pardos is looking pretty bad.


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

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 on

the bottom level. They don't have much to say, besides about the conditions

of working in the mine.

J.3.P.18 - Mining Tips *****

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

Three of the unnamed 'Stew Pot Diggers' can give you additional skill in your

gold-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'll

have 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're

very vague, and that trial and error is the best method.

To get into the Temple, use the tablet that Quarhodron gave you: the place will

rumble and magic 'clouds' will spill out from you as the door opens. Go through

it to enter the first chamber.

Chamber #1:

The first chamber has four doors, with switches on the walls and falling spike

traps. 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 (far

left), 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 you

instantly, so be sure to save right before attempting them.

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 one

farthest to the right (when you're looking into the room as if you just came

out of the hallway from Chamber #1). Any other path will spring spikes on you

after 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 you

have to step on the right tiles to proceed; the wrong tiles will drop from

under you, and you'll plummet into a pungee pit. This is the one challenge that

I 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 tiles

are slightly different in hue: the bad ones are slightly green, and the good

ones are slightly purple.
