I just finished the game.

Did anyone ever get into Yamalin (at the top of the map)? I tried earlier in the game but couldn't because of the steep mountains all around. Nor were there any quests that led there. It's strange that such a big town was never used in the game.

Congrats Rowan! What did you think of it?

I couldn't do much with the top of the map either. Maybe it's going to be used for their next game.

Congrats Rowan
I didn't make it up there, in fact I forgot about it. I did go North where the glacier Orcs were camped. My hero kept complaining that he was freezing his toes off.
There were some caves that I didn't go into because I thought maybe they were quests. At the end of the game I didn't go back. Maybe next time.

For the most part I liked the game, specially the quests north of the Gon. There the quests from any one village would overlap into other villages and this forced you to explore and become familiar with the region. However, south of the Gon a few quests restricted you to local areas. I almost missed the desert because it wasn't part of the main quest. There was too much loot. It became a giant shopping expedition. The end was too easy. I was an archer and was able to kill the end boss from a distance with a few arrows.

Rowan can you help on this problem, please. Am not very far into the game really. Am needing to go the the eastern excavations to find someone called Moon (I think) to pick up the coin forging machine. Dashed if I can find the excavations - is there something which will trigger off that quest? Have wandered around and around Tharbakin and the only thing I've picked up is the man who wants to know what has happened to his son at the excavations.

Would appreciate a little help here.

The excavations are east on the main road from Tharbarkin and south of the Hilltop teleport. Is that any help? The area isn't showing on your map?

Alice, do you have a paper map? The excavations are outside Tharbakin to the east. If you follow the first road east of Tharbakin (the same road the teleporter is on), past a cave (where you will get another quest), turn left at the next fork, then left at the next fork after that. Then you should be at the excavations. It's shorter than my big run-on sentence.

There's also a really good map here

Many thanks Rowan and oldman. I'll have another shot later today.

oldman, I have that map - it is part of gamepressure's Game Guide.

The silly maps in the S.G are no help at all.

Wish me luck. Am always wishing real life would allow me more time to play the game.

Yesterday I actually had a while to load the game. Found the excavations and completed the quests there, including the wolves, although I can't get much out of Sano Moon.

So am wandering around Tharbaken wondering how to gain a point with Giriza. Without his support I can't get into the Gorelin. Really cannot think of anything else to do except breakup the Goms Siege.

Hope I'm thinking along the corrct lines.

If you take the road south of Tharbaken a short distance you will find an inn at the right hand side. You can pick up a Giriza quest there.

If you haven't found them already here are some of the quests that give you Giriza reputation.

A Paid Murder (outpost)
Work Withheld (Tharbakin Crossroads)
Safe Neighborhood (Excavations)

You, of course, can find them in the on line game guide.

I think you only need a reputation of two with Kiriza to get into Gorelin.

I decided that I didn't want the Golems to get the best of me and am replaying the game. I finally learned how to defeat the suckers and am now hunting them down.

Summoning spells with three powerful monsters of my own + a wall of fire to keep them away from me works wonders. Then I just stand back and pick them off with my bow.

So come on Golems I'm ready for you now.

Rowan and oldman - I have done all that and still have not received and points to get me into Gorilen.

At the moment am knocking the Groms to pieces, when I can find them.

Back to the drawing board.
Alice

Strange Alice. If you hit "i" on your keyboard it will open up all your options. On the right is the icon with a face that shows you your reputation and statistic. If you got credit for those quests then you should have some reputation points with the Kiriza.

You can also check your quests and see if the game has them listed as done.

Another thought. Are you trying to go through the gates and seeing a Red open icon? You won't be able to enter until you've talked to the guard and he says it's OK.

Other than that I am stumped.

I climbed up to Yamalin, but the dwarves attacked me and I killed them. When I went into the cave it was locked and so far I have not found the key. I could finish the game but I'm trying to do everything.
Does anyone know if there's a way to teleport while on your horse??

Unfortunately you can't teleport with your horse. I'm not sure what cave you mean but there's a quest for the mine from a person in the town just below the mine. That will probably open up the mine for you.

If so, you can find the details here


Since you're trying to do everything, there's an island called Mystery Island in the SE corner of the map just below Water Claw Tower that is well worth the visit. You have to be prepared to kill about a dozen Golems but the rewards are great. I leveled up and got about 20 or so power ups for my equipment.

On my way Old Man! Whoo hoo!! Golems here I come.
BTW, I meant mine not cave. I wil check that out. I wonder why they won't let you teleport with your horse since he/she is your storage trunk for the game. The horse also won't go into the gated towns and villages a lot of the time. Sometimes I can whistle them in and sometimes not.

Hi - at last I appear to be on my way (I think) Am in the Karga camp looking for the Treasure Room - well I was when I closed down last evening

Wonder if you can suggest anything concerning a Dwarven Relic I've been carrying around since forever. It hasn't a price so is obviously a quest item - still haven't otained a quest to go with it.

Also, in Thargen there is a mage who wanted me to find a staff for him. It so happened I had already got it in my inventory so, to his delight, gave it to him. Have recently met him in the same place and is asking for it again - have no idea which staff it was as I have already given it him. If it stayed in my inventory then have probably sold it by now.

Now to go and look for the treasure room.

I think it's a bug. I completed a quest for one of the relics and it remained unsolved in my journal, but the game acted like I had completed it. Look it your journal and see if it is showing that it's completed.

Debra - there is nothing concerning a relic in my journal.

I am in the N.E now and one of the cowardly Border Guards handed me the key to enter the dwarven 'vortex'. He is hoping I will find his missing brother. Am now in a strange village which has been destroyed by magic - no idea what I'm supposed to do there but my grasping hand is now plcking up something called 'Patana' - something similar to that anyway. Am looting the few houses I can enter. Fortunately I found a trader in the second Border Post so can now pick up some goodies.

Debra,

I was wondering which part of the relic remained unsolved in your journal? For me it was the Fire Element Stone. The Earth and Water Stones showed as solved in my journal. I only have the Air Element left to get.
