Hi skeeter,

Well I will check into it..not sure about the online thing, haven't checked it out for this game.
I have Sacred plus and Underworld loaded and playing single player right now..

Let me check out the details and I'll email you or you may of course email me..not sure how the server works...will it allow for UK and US players to match up??

Edit Here: I tried getting online and sign up..didn't want to accept my CD Key #s; although reading them right from the back of manual where they are written..anyone else try and see what they got?

All i did was have plus download installe and then the latest patch, then u start a mp option ingame and click open games then enter details remembering to use the - things as well for cdkey. then you should be ok.

Still can't find Zaphod DeFaltar - where is the blighter hiding?

Are you all willing to leave a Noble Lady in distress?

Alice

Alice,
I don't know..try several things..
use the tab key and look where the little title is and where you are..is there a cave?
Also, check your log book...does it say anything different on the quest?
I was looking for cows, and hadn't realized one of the pick up all after a fight was "bones of the dead cows"

Skeeter,
I tried and still says wrong CD Key #
I have both Plus and Underworld loaded and patch downloaded..I am going to see if I can get an email addy and find out what's wrong. I'll let you know.

Alice, I didnt even have to look for the guy, when I approached the big manor house north of where you get the quest, he was there with a mean look and a big exclamation point over his head. Go back up there and use the ALT key to highlight everyone's names, like Ingie suggested.

Thanks Schwab - that is what I'm doing every time I'm in the area Last time I was up there discovered I could walk across the waterfall (it had a magic hiding place in the middle!!!)and cleared out the top area of magicians and elves - went up a whole level doing that. The two people who asked me to find the Lady stand out very well but haven't yet had Zap show me where he is standing - and the doors remain locked

Back to the fray.

Thanks for the help - much appreciated.

Alice

Alice this game has a blue marker on your map that shows you where your quests are and once you finish the quest that blue marker then shows where the quest giver is. Once you complete the quest it turns green I think.

Well folks I finally got all my characters at level 40 & above and have ordered the expansion from GoGamer. I checked online and the only places I could find to order it were Interact and GoGamer. It's not at local stores yet. It's coming Fedex so should arrive this week.

Hi, all. Received Underworld in the mail this morning. Hubby and I were out of town last week and I did not get to play until last night. Sure missed my tough little wood elf.

I am level 21 and am just kind of rambling around killing scary critters and bad guys while I complete quests here and there. I am heading for Wyvern Pass, but keep getting sent in different directions. It is very easy to level up without doing much but slaying things because of the respawn rate.

Just dropped in to see how everyone was doing. Now back to laundry!

Hi Peggy,
I can't remember, did you lose your Wood Elf? If not, she can imported into the Underworld.

Hi Alice,
If you open your quest log, on the first page will have the area your quest came from..helps me to remember the area. Then on your large map, zero in on that area..sometimes the quest givers show up..not always though.
Oh thanks for the information about that waterfall, didn't know that!!

Nobody is going to believe this - I'm still in a state of shock.

For days I've been searching for this fellow Zaphod DeFaltar in the Rescue a Noble Lady quest. After every other quest I return for another search with the Alt key pressed. His name never appeared.

Today started searching every inch of the ground - widening my circles. No Zaphod! Then reached a farmer's house tucked up against the mountain - no room to walk behind - which had a hedge to the right-hand side. The hedge appeared to grow against the house. It was miles away from the area. The Alt key didn't give the name of a person in that place but brought up the following:
Mongoose,
Room key,
Gold.
All hidden behind the hedge.

It was so far from the big house I thought the key might belong to another quest. Whatever - I picked up the three things. (and put them in a safe place - hehe)

Later, when I was near the mansion decided to try the doors yet again - and they opened Can only think I wasn't the only one after Zap's blood. He had been zapped and gone to hell a long time before I got there. Anyway - the quest is finished without me ever catching sight of the man.

In the Rascals' Quest I came across the rascal concerned some time before I received the quest and have his ear tucked away somewhere. Then was given the quest by the Captain of Shires Pen.
There was no way I could tell him I had the ear so went off to do somehting else - now have no idea where I met the Captain (forgot to write it down) and the red arrow points back to the blue square on the map whenever I haven't got a quest pinned.

As a matter of fact - presently I'm on the dole, living off of benefits Am level 25 and can't find anyone to give me work. Like having half a dozen degrees and the only work awailable is to wait on tables.

The last thing I dispatched was a large level 28 Gladiator - brute of a man.

Ta-ta for now,

Back to the fray.

Alice

Alice, that guy was right in front of the house for me too, right in front of the stairs. I know sometimes I have a really hard time finding the people with exclamation marks, especially when they're in something like crow's rock (I think that was the name, with all the different parts of the city to it).
I just changed a combo - I put the icon for the combo I had up there in the wizard's box, and it automatically showed the different slots. I put the new items I wanted in it over the old ones. Didn't that work for you?

I have the air or wind element now from the ice fortress, but where oh where do I go for the fire element???I don't see anything on my map, and I'm doing a lot of trekking!

Nickie, you can scroll the map. It took me a while to figure it out. You move your mouse to the bottom of the screen and the map will scroll downward same with left or right. The element of fire can be found in the bottom left area of the map. It's in the area North of the Fields of Urkuk. Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I have been taking a little break from this game the past few days.

I played The Journeyman Project 3-Legacy of Time and enjoyed that.

Now am playing Beyond Atlantis 2 and am enjoying that again.

Three people in my game have already gotten the Wind and Fire elements and just the Seraphim has the wind and needs to get the fire one. Then its on to the next one.

I will get back soon but just needed a break to enjoy something else.

Sounds like everyone is moving right along and doing great.

Nickie - you can only change your combos if you have collected more of the same icons you have already used - then you can strengthen the combos you have. Didn't discover this until I was using all four combos - now I haven't anywhere to use different icons if I pick them up.

Hope I've explained that clearly.

Have found some work but keep failing the quest. It is one I did fairly easily last time I played. Back working under-cover again. Am at Crowsrock trying to help myself to Inquisition Plans and leaving false ones in their place. Keep failing because I get myself seen. I know I have to ring the dinner bells but can't remember what I did before.

Laugh! My seraphim was tucked away out of sight, and I was looking through my print out of the thread for the first time Sacred was played. Apparently was taking too long because I shot out of my chair when the seraphim (forgot to name her) shouted "What's happening? Have you fallen asleep?" I was still wearing my headhones and my left ear got blasted

I'm off to bed,

Be back,

Alice

Alice, I just followed the wall around the building on the lower left and went up to the bell, rang it and ran back to where i started, then went up to where the documents were on the table in the upper right.

Thanks Schwab - think that is what I did last time we played. Why to I never think of the most simple solutions, always expecting things to be more complicated.

Fine, I'm off to try that. Hope the lass doesn't shout at me again for going to sleep on the job. She nearly deafened me last evening.

'Bye for now.

Alice

Much later.

Have been all over the place today. More quests under my belt but.........

Was given a tip by a Mayor when I completed his quest;I should take the south more seriously, that was where the seat of the trouble was. Have fought my way down to the entrance to Wyvern Pass and the guards refuse to allow me through to talk to their boss. Got in easily enough to speak to their captain last time I played - has anyone any idea why I can't this time? It is getting very frustrating. Need a change of scenery

My other course is to try Icecreek Dale again.

There is a place marked on the map which came with Sacred+Plus+ called Dwarven Ruins which seems inaccessable at the moment. Also most places east of Bravewall appear to be out of bounds - do these click in at a certain point in the game? Really puzzled.

Whatever, I've been playing for hours and hours, so think I will get myself off to dreamland - as if I haven't been there all day!

See you all tomorrow - with a long list of ideas for me

Good night every one.

Bless you.

Alice

Yes, you're absolutely right. It's I who did not explain clearly.

Thanks Oldman! I had just discovered that about scrolling the map, but I still couldn't find the fire location. My arrow just points to the monastery, so after visiting that location many times now, thought I would rather ask.

No problem Nickie. I don't know if you used the teleporter from the Ice Palace (or Monastery or whatever) but when I did the arrow didn't change to the new quest. I went back to the Monastery and walked back to the Ice Creek Pass one and somewhere along the way it triggered the new main quest and the arrow changed and I got the new gold icon on the map.

Well, I just got my expansion in today and loaded it up. I like it. It is a stand alone game and you can play both the original Sacred and the new Underworld campaigns. I checked out the underworld real quick and it looks good. I then tried out an Ancaria campaign (which is the original Sacred). There are changes in the original that make it interesting and I'm going to explore those before I tackle the Underworld.

The interface has changed and buttons for weapons, special skills along with the option bar for inventory etc have become a little more eye appealing (at least to me).

I noticed during one of my battles where there was a lot of action with lightning and thunder etc that the screen actually shook to the thunder sounds which added some realism.

It shows my Wood Elf actually mount and dismount here horse rather than just appear on the horse.

My Wood Elf bends down and picks up items now rather than just zapping them into inventory.

There are additional side quests that were not there in the original which is one of the reasons I'm going to go through this before moving on to the Underworld Campaign plus I'll attain a higher level while doing it. So, I'm presently going through the Ancaria Campaign with the expansion at the Silver level to see what changes they have wrought.

There are probably other changes that I either didn't notice or will notice as the game progresses but overall I'm pleased with what has been done to the game.

Oh and my Wood Elf won out beating the Seraphim by just a smidgen.

John - can I ask which expansion you have received, pleased.

Is there already an expansion to Sacred+Plus+? My game is doing most of the new things you mention although, as mentioned yesterday, I cannot gain access to places on the map I installed before Sacred+Plus+. The Underworld expansion.

Would be grateful if someone can sort me out about this.

Off to get supper although I doubt if anyone in the U.S. will be awake yet when I get back

Will be back anyway - At the moment I'm not getting anywhere very fast.

Alice

Hi all,
Did you try out the dwarf? Oh do, just let him stand and start singing to get one of the best laughs you'll have..it's a riot.
I was playing the Original Campaign on it and found loads of quests, the game isn't as statickie..(not a word, but I don't know what else to call it).
However, I still have not been able to get my CD keys to work with the online registration, which I would love to play with Skeeter..I've emailed the company, but no response and that was probably about a week ago now..so I can't get on.
I'm back with my original Mage..on Plus..I'm taking him into Underworld with me..
Thing is, When you have underworld loaded, I could not play my original characters for the first game..had to chose and start all over again..I did, but my heart is with this guy right now.
I can import for Underworld part, but not the first.
The Underworld graphics seem sharper and clearer to me, however..I had to turn off 3D sound in order to hear my heroes' comments.
Let me know when someone is ready to start the Underworld Campaign and I'll join in..I have a dwarf that is ready to go and hoot to play...gotta get him a horse though. He crashed his helicopter..

Poppy/Ingie - hope you are still around.

I'm very confused.

First I re-installed Sacred then, before I started playing, Underworld arrived. So I installed that.

To the best of my knowledge when I started a new game I wasn't given the choice of choosing a dwarf, only the five original characters. The game-play is slightly different from last time and the graphics are improved. My world map is exactly the same on the screen as it was with just Sacred installed. But the paper map which came with Underworld shows far more areas.

Sooo...... the $24 question is - does one need to complete the original Sacred before the expansion clicks in?

And why have I now installed Sacred+Plus+? My silly little brain, from reading the thread, assumed S+P+ improved both the previous things I'd installed.

One puzzle I have is the fact I cannot understand why I'm unable to get into Wyvern Pass - did it easily the first time I played.

At the moment am trying to get into the eastern side of the original map, Mystdale Castle, Moorbrook, Drakenden, Gloomoor, Highmarsh et al.

The only thing happening otherwise is that I'm gradually edging toward level 28 by killing off all the baddies as I explore.

This afternoon the game crashed three times - each at the same place. The whole screen became a pea-soup through which one could vaguely see parts of the game area. Then I sat through a psychadelic ever changing display of coloured pillars, flags, ships (!) until suddenly the screen cleared and I was back where I was. the moment I moved my character to carry on then the same thing happened all over again. After three or four attempts to get going again, when the screen righted itself I immediately 'saved', quit the game and reloaded. It's been ok since then.

So can any one possessing a 'real' brain straighten me up about the above? PLEASE!

Alice

EDIT: Yesterday, if possible

Well I don't have a real brain, but here goes..
You can take any level 25+ character and import to play Underworld.
In the Underworld little icon on your desktop, you may click on it, with Underworld Disc 1 in drive and play the original story-line(but cannot import a character from Plus) or you may select to play the Underworld Campaign and import a 25+ character to that game.
You have that option.
If you chose the original..you can play it with the first cast of characters or one of the two new ones.
I've been having some problems with Plus also, so I understand what you're saying..I know Nickie has also..not sure what's going on with it. I have downloaded and installed the patch to both Plus and Underworld.
Quite frankly I think Underworld seems to run smoother and is cleaner, at least for me.
My Plus is "jittery" in spots..not sure what that is all about, but from the Forum, I'm not alone.
Can't answer Wyvern Pass..I have entered there and had no problems..so not sure what's going on for you.
Some character's seem to display more problems than others..using magic really seems to blow a few circuits.
I started over with the Mage and Dwarf using the Underworld disc 1, but I really missed this Mage, had found some good items that I'm greedy about.
But, if it continues acting up..I'll go back to Underworld.
Hoped that helped a bit..my biggest problem area has been Slater's grave, still having difficulty in that area getting quests done and also at Crow's Rock area..again, not sure why. But folks are gone when I escort someone back..I gave up had 3 different people at one time joining Wilbur and I..they slowly died off. Ghosts chase anything.
Try putting in your Underworld Disc 1 and clicking on Underworld Icon, or however you have it set up and see if you can see the difference. When it comes up to select hit the Arcanna Campaign..that's the original..and you'll see what I'm talking about I think..you may chose a character with the 2 new ones added in but cannot import..or at least I couldn't. Not saying someone else can or not.

Thanks Poppy - will print this out and try again.

If I have grasped what you are saying:-

I can start to play Underworld and keep the main Sacred game going at the same time - using the Underworld disc as the game disc.

Hope that is correct - will try in the morning although will visit here first.

Must closed down as I have developed a splitting headache with double vision - or have double vision which is producing a splitting headache. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Of course, I'm hoping the head and eyes clear up after a night's sleep and I can play tomorrow

Thanks a bundle.

Blessings,

Alice
