This is the complete hint file for Destroy the Necronomicon. This is version 1.0 of the hint file and is bound to contain some errors and omissions. I will try and fill it out a bit more in the future. This file does NOT cover every last little thing you can find in this scenario. In does cover the majority of the important stuff but there is always something else to find. Please don’t ask me if there is anything else other than what is in this hint file. I have put everything in here that I could think of off the top of my head. If it is not covered here, then its probably not THAT important.
First I will give you a few suggestions as a whole for tackling this scenario.
Don't be in such a rush to get to the Abyss. It will be there waiting for you no matter how long you wander around. Even though the queen and Thoth Amon are always on your case to get moving, it's not critical to the success of the scenario that you push along as fast as you can.
Save your game often.
There are NO NPCs that are critical to completing any vital missions. i.e. If they get killed, don't worry that you won't be able to complete the game.
Destroy has a LOT of NPCs scattered about the game. Some are more important than others but few are super important. A few that are probably more important than others are:
Opal Silverbird, Crimson Giant
Gilthanus, Ice Titan Cleric
Swendiline, Banished Dryad
Undead Behemoth, A stinky dead behemoth.
Shalutie, a gnome who has been transformed into a goblin by some Drow.
Some other NPCs that are also in Destroy but are not as important are:
Brimhune, Ice Titan Warrior
Quinten Gloryhand, A wandering magic user
Tivrish, A cowardly Rothian Giant Guide
Teltnuag, A Rothian Giant
Stench Demon
Corelian Stench Demon
Shenulen, A tigtaur warrior
Britnia, A tigtaur spell caster
There are also many unique creatures in Destroy that will not be visible via the Bestiary menu. The only time you are going to see these creatures is when you face them in an encounter/combat.
The general theme of the scenario is this. The Realmz and the Abyss are headed for disaster. Ages ago the Realmz and the Abyss resided on the same plane. Great strife and turmoil were the norm as the good and evil races battled constantly.
After countless centuries, the gods grew bored of the conflict and separated the Realmz and the Abyss. Gods, being as they are, eventually grew bored once again and now wish to bring the Realmz and the Abyss back together again. It is your mission to prevent this from happening.
When the Realmz and the Abyss was sundered into two planes, there remained a common point that linked the two. The point is not a physical location, but an object. A book known as the NECRONOMICON. This object, though a single object, exists in both planes simultaneously. If it were to be destroyed in both planes, not event the gods could reunite the Realmz and the Abyss.
Needless to say, the Demons who populate the Abyss enjoy the idea of war, destruction and general mayhem that will abound with the joining. Most will do anything they can to see it come about. However, a few demon lords are pleased with their current status as lords in the Abyss and fear that their hold over the throngs of demon kind may waver if the joining takes place. If you play your cards right, several of these lords may either allow you to pass or aid you outright.
The story begins as you are summoned to Westmoore by Queen Selene. Shortly after you arrive, the joining of the Realmz and the Abyss begins. It takes place as towers filled with demon spawn are transported to the Realmz with a specific mission in mind. Their mission is to capture the NECRONOMICON in the Realmz and to guard it against destruction. Fortunately for the Realmz, most demons tend to forget their orders. It's in their nature to cause pain and suffering whenever possible, and being on the material plane has made them punch drunk with glee. The Realmz is populated with weak and helpless races ripe for slaughter. Most of the demons have forgotten the real mission only hours after arriving.
Your goal, attempt to destroy as many towers as you can while at the same time, find a way to get to the Abyss and DESTROY THE NECRONOMICON.
Dead Stones: A magical stone that radiates some foul trait such as hatred or fear. They are used as keys to gain access to the towers that are transported to the Abyss. These towers are known as BASTIONS or the COMING OF DOOM.
There are many dead stones scattered about the beginning of the game. In general you will not be able to progress too far until you get specific ones. Here is a short list that will tell you where to find all the dead stones you need.
