I think it has to do with a bad interface design in the game and nothing to do with your brains. I spent some time looking through all the chap 1 quests in the log trying to spot the new stuff. Then finally I noticed the stupid tab.

It should default to opening the log to the current chapter, that would be far better and less disconcerting. The game has so many other things it must track, the current journal page shouldn't add that much burden to it.

I didn't see the tabs at first, either. I thought the game was buggy (which it was, but not in this case).

Arrrgh I need help. I am looking for the second element of Ancaria and have no clue where it is. I found the air one in the abandoned Ice palace in Frostgard and my log book says I have to get the fire element from the dragon at Alkanaba noc Draco in the far south. My problem is the far south of what? There is a dragon in Frostgard but he's not in the far south - he was up around the ice palace and I have him trapped inside right now. Is that the dragon I'm supposed to kill or is there another one some place? My map only shows the elements at the entrance to the cave so that's no help in pin pointing the exact location.

Any one remember this part?

Edit - well I answered one part of my question - the dragon I was talking about was not the one I needed - so where the heck is this turkey?

Edit the second time - I looked closer at my "paper" map and found Alkazaha nor Draco on it - please ignore this entire post

hey syd
i'm at the exact same place, i just got the first element from frostguard, trapped the evil dragon behind a shrub and fired at him for about 15 minutes.

the only problem is, my log says i have to go to noc draco, but my map is still showing a yellow thingie next to frostgard... so i really have no idea where to go...

lucca you need to be where I've been trying to get to for the past 5 hours I can't find a way into the dratted place. Head out of Frostgard and go south back through the library and the monastary - remember the desert? Well the area we need to get into is to the west of that. Looks like the middle of the lava field but for the life of me I can't find a way in. I have gone almost completely around this place and all I can find is cliff faces and caves with nasty creatures in it. I'm on my way back up toward Porto Draco in hopes of finding a way in from that side but it's not looking good.

Edit - Edit - I found the way in I must have zigged when I should have zagged and missed the opening the first time around the cliffs. Not that I'm thrilled mind you - I've already died three times

Lucca and syd, I remember having problems with the yellow quest flags while getting out of Frostgard. Sometimes the yellow flag would appear in the lava fields then it would jump back to Frostgard for no reason I could see. Going to the Draco place will not solve the quest unless the yellow flag is there. All I remember is that I entered and exited Frostgard about a million times before the flag would stick at the lava place. I think you have to talk to that person (forget her name) that brought you to Frostgard on your way out.

If you follow the perimeter of the lava fields southwestward you should find a path leading upwards to the fields. Once there it is a bit of a maze because you have to hop from island to island until you find the Draco cave entrance - fighting baddies and lava spews the entire time. This is when a trusty horse with fire protection comes in handy.

Luv reading your posts about this game, guys and gals! Keep 'em coming!

lucca how you doing? I'm not sure I'm glad I found this dratted place. I've been barbecued so much the last few hours it's not funny At my current rate of progress that dragon will have that fire element for a loooong time to come.

Rowen the yellow flag didn't appear (or at least I didn't notice it) until I got out of the library - then it appeared on my map. But like you I ran in and out of that stupid cave (watching those ice giants multiply like cockroaches I might add) about 10 times.

Pib where are you in all this mess?

Me? Sway back, I only play this for 1/2 hour or so a day and so am currently looking to tell prince what'sit that he harbours a traitor.

i finally got the yellow flag in that volcano place you were talking about syd, so i decided to take a portal to the nearest town, BUT when i ran back into the goblin infested monastery to get to the portal on the other side the yellow flag moved back to frostgard.

the worst part is i have go through the frost giant cave again ****shudders***

i guess taking the portal is out of the picture, everytime i run back into the monastery the flag returns to cave exit in frostgard. looks like my trusty war horse will have to take a real long journey.

That's what happened to me, lucca. I honestly don't remember what I did to make the flag stay at the lava pits. Like I said before I went in and out of Frostgard so many times I don't know what I did differently to make it finally work.

the dragon is dead

do you know how i can get to the quest where i can get the cure from the dark elves?
there's cliffs all around and i only have three days.

Arrrggghhh I hate real life - I haven't been able to play since Sunday I'm still doing quests in the volcano area - anyone besides me get completely lost in that cave? It took me forever to find the room to drop off the lady who was following me all over creation.

I think I finished the last quest and am finally on my way to find the dragon. Lucca was he really hard to kill?

For me the hardest dragon was that one in the southern desert. After that the others all got easier. Good luck.

If you explore the northwest forest area you will come across a dragon guarding lots of treasure. He did not seem quest related and he also wasn't very difficult.

By the way, what character class are you using? Mine is the Seraphrim, her abilities are quite good, even if lot's of her armour seems to be ... missing?
Definitely her looks are meant to appeal to males.
