You must talk to the people on your
own. This is  to provide an outline
for the  story, but you  won't have
the  complete  picture  unless  you
talk  to  people  yourself. Despite
that  most people  are generic, the
innkeepers   tend    to   be   more
knowledgable.

Remember, that even  though you can
probably skip through some parts of
the game, things  are event driven.
Meaning  certain things  and people
won't   be  in   certain  locations
unless something  gets accomplished
first. For example, Abdula won't be
in Morgan  until you chase  him off
Barchetta.

STARTING OFF

You  start  the  game  off  at  the
"Pigge and Ballbearing"  inn in the
besieged   city  of   Tormis.  Look
around you and  talk to the several
characters  in the  inn. You should
pick up two  companions here, Anvil
and  Jeremiah.  Both  of  them  are
excellent  fighters.   It  is  also
suggested  that you  rest here, and
bring  your primary  weapons skills
to  the  max.  Also,  at  the first
opportunity teach (and  bring up to
the  master   level)  Gustavus  the
skill of lock  picking. You will be
doing  a lot  of that  in the game,
and it will free up your party from
dragging an otherwise useless thief
along.  You should  also locate the
Mercenary   Guild  in   Tormis.  Go
there,   and  pick   up  Dark   Sky
(awesome fighter),  and Cyless. You
can also pick up Grom and Grim, the
two  thieves,  but  they  generally
suck.  Its  a   good  idea  to  ask
someone  about inns,  to get  names
and  relative locations  of all the
city's inns.

PART I: TORMIS

Your mission is to get the hell out
of   Tormis.  Not   an  easy   task
considering the  city is surrounded
by  Daemonic Hordes  (TM), and  you
cannot  just  walk  out  the  front
gates.  You should  walk around and
ask about Thieves or Thieve's Guild
(a good  idea is to ask  a guard or
a jailor or  any other "government"
figure)  until you  get the message
that you should go find Moll in the
"Harvester of Sorrow" inn. Go there
and  find Moll.  Ask her  about the
Thieve's  Guild. She  will tell you
to wait till midnight the next day.
Just buy lodgings and rest till the
appropriate time (anywhere past the
midnight of  the next day  is fine,
Moll  will wait  for you),  talk to
Moll again. Follow her a few blocks
north, and she will take you to the
current  leader   of  the  Thieve's
Guild.  The  leader  will  tell you
that  one Travis  Sewer breath,  is
being held in a  city jail, and you
gotta spring him.  Go to the sewers
beneath the Thieve's Guild and take
them  to  the  city  jail. You will
have  to  fight  a  few guards, but
they  are quite  easy (don't forget
to  take  the  guard's  weapons for
some $$$), free Travis. Travis will
tell  you   to  meet  him   at  the
"Harvester of Sorrow".

Meet  him there,  and he  will tell
you  that  he   wants  you  to  get
Heinze's   ring  off   the  current
Thieve's  Guild leader.  Go to  the
Thieve's Guild and  the leader will
attack  you. Kill  him, collect the
ring,  go to  Travis, give  him the
ring. Travis will give you a key to
a passage  outside.  You  can  also
take Travis  along if you  want. He
has  some useful  abilities, but he
isn't much good in the long run. Go
back  to  the  Thieve's  Guild,  go
downstairs,  and  head  through the
locked door in the west part of the
sewers.   Unlock   the   door   and
continue down the  passage You will
make  it outside.  You can  revisit
Tormis  as often  as you  want. Now
you  have  to   start  heading  for
Attiea, which  is to the  far north
west of Tormis.  Also, you might as
well buy some Black Blower Ale from
the  "Dark  horse  Brewery"  as you
shall need it later on.

PART II: ATTIEA

Now,  that you  arrived in  Attiea,
ask  around  about  Elsopeans.  You
will be  told that there  is one in
the "Quaffing Pig" inn. This inn is
right  north  of  where  you  first
enter the town. When  you go to the
inn,  ask  the  owner  or a barmaid
about Elsopeans. They will tell you
that  he  is  gone  but his servant
Theodore Mcalstre  is still around.
Find Theodore in  the same inn, and
ask  him about  Elsopeans. He  will
tell  you that  his master, Alathon
has  been abducted  by Hellast (the
ruler of Attiea)  and that only the
Warriors of Light can help you. Ask
him about Warriors of Light, and he
will   tell   you   a   key  phrase
Incontinence.  Go to  the "Laughing
Heretic" inn, which  is on the east
side  of  the   main  road  leading
through the walled  part of Attiea.
Talk    to   the    barkeep   about
Incontinence.  He will  tell you to
go to the leader of the Warriors of
Light,  through  the  fake  wall by
a cuckoo clock. Talk to the leader,
Francisco  Antonio,  about Alathon,
and Hellast. Leave his secret room,
and  you  will  be  captured by the
Attiean  secret  police.  They will
put you in a jail cell. In the jail
cell pick up the  lock picks on the
bed,  use them  to get  out of your
cell. Since you  have been stripped
of  your  possessions,  find  them;
they  should be  all on  a table in
the north  west corner of  the jail
compound.  Now,  get   out  of  the
compound.  Head  towards  the north
eastern  part  of  the  city, where
Hellast's  palace   is.  Enter  the
palace  (note: just  about everyone
in the palace  will attack you) and
find  Hellast (he  is in  the south
western  part of  the palace), kill
him,  and   Alathon  will  teleport
himself  away, saying  he will meet
you at  Jornuli Point. Now  get out
of the city,  and head for Dryleaf;
a port city on  the west coast, far
to the north of Attiea.

PART III: JORNULI POINT

When  you enter  Dryleaf, find  the
tavern, which is  located just east
of the marketplace, and talk to the
ship's captain there.  Pay them for
a passage    to    Jornuli   Point.
Remember  to  click  on  the  price
while   conversing,   to   buy  the
passage.  Leave Dryleaf,  and board
the ship. Note: you may be attacked
by several assassins  on the way to
Jornuli Point. When  you arrive, in
Jornuli, go to the scholar's hostel
to the  east of the  main entrance,
there  you will  find Alathon. Talk
to him. He will  tell you to obtain
his     master's     notes     from
Tan-Eldorith  in  the  far Elsopea.
You  can also  see the  dean of the
scholars of  Jornuli, he is  in the
most south eastern  building in the
city. He will  give you some items,
and  he can  provide information on
almost  any  subject.  Prepare well
for  the  journey  ahead,  for  its
a long one.

PART IV: TAN-ELDORITH

You   must   venture   far   south.
Preferably hugging  the east coast,
move south until  you find the city
of  Tan-Eldorith. In  the centre of
the city, on top  of a tower is the
Daemonsgate. You cannot do anything
about  it just  yet. The  notes you
seek are difficult  to locate, they
are  in  the  Elsopean  Academy  of
Magic  building.  It  has  a lot of
pentagrams  drawn  on  the  ground.
There is a  large daemon sitting on
top of  the notes so  you can't see
them  until you  kill him.  Get the
notes   and  get   out.  Return  to
Jornuli Point. Go  to where Alathon
was staying,  and talk to  the maid
about him.  She will tell  give you
a note  that will  say he  left for
Trade Town.  In Trade Town  you can
also pick  up Two edge,  an awesome
magic  user. Return  to Dryleaf and
head north along  the western coast
until  you  come   to  Trade  Town.
Alathon is  in the inn  in the very
north  eastern part  of town.  Give
Alathon the notes, and he will tell
you that you need to find out about
a device       called       "Matrix
Configuration". A set  of 5 magical
towers created by  the Kzzir, which
when activated form a barrier, that
would    prevent    daemons    from
reinforcing their armies at Tormis.
If   you   activate   the  barrier,
Alathon  may  be  able  to help you
shut the  Daemonsgate. Alathon also
hints   that  you   need  to   find
a mystical capital  of the creators
of   "Matrix   Configuration"  -The
Yelda.  Yelda promises  to hold the
answers to how the "Matrix

Configuration"     is     operated.
A proper way to search for Yelda is
to  return  to  Jornuli  Point  and
inquire  about  Kzzir.  That  would
yield information about one Roberto
Zildar in Vorsai,  who is an expert
on the  subject. You can  skip that
part,   and    move   straight   to
Vorsai-a city north  of Tormis just
west of the Sisters (mountain range
north of Tormis).

PART V: THE SEARCH FOR YELDA

Upon arriving in Vorsai, search out
Roberto Zildar (if  you want, he is
in the central library) and inquire
about Yelda. He  will tell you that
a book called  Examination of Elder
Races  is in  possession of Ludovic
Gruber.  He  lives  in  the eastern
part of the town. You can also pick
up some rumours  saying that Gruber
is an  experimenting daemonologist.
When you  go to Gruber's  house you
will  find  his  diary,  and a book
called Codex  Deamonicus which when
read can bestow  Spirit Lore on the
reader.

NOTE: If you examine this book, you
will    get    information    about
Holtsweig's

Staff. This is a subplot and can be
skipped.

THE STAFF SUBPLOT

Ask around  about the owner  of the
staff  (Moebius Holtsweig)  and you
shall be told that he was last seen
at Sayville  Town in the  middle of
the  stumps (small  hills that fill
the  centre  of  the  continent) go
there, and inquire about him.

You will be  directed to his house,
and therein you  can pickup a rusty
amulet  and  his  diary.  Read  the
diary and it will  tell you that he
ventured  to  a  barrow,  and never
returned.   Ask   around   for  the
location  of  the  barrow,  and you
will  be  told  its  south  east of
town. Go there (on the map it looks
like a clump of trees) and open one
of the tombs  (only one opens) with
the  rusty amulet.  Go in,  and you
will have  to fight a  ghost prince
and  his  ghost  cronies, including
the  ghost  of  Moebius.  After the
fight  you can  retrieve his staff,
which   can  be   used  to   banish
daemons.

Now,  you  have  to  go to Gruber's
basement,  and  as  you  go towards
east,  you will  encounter a Daemon
Lord  - Lab.  He is  very powerful,
and  unless  you  have  a  powerful
weapon, such as an Elemental Sword,
you  have to  successfully run away
on him. In the chambers beyond, you
will   find  the   book.  Upon  its
examination  you will  find that it
hints  Cooltag's  Rest  to  be  the
location   of   Yelda.   Go   there
(Cooltag's Rest is in the middle of
the stumps, slightly west). Once in
Cooltag's  you will  find out  from
people  that the  mines are  closed
due to mysterious hauntings. Gather
gossip  about   an  alleged  affair
between Francisca  Whiplash and the
mayor  of  the  town.  Confront the
mayor with the information (you may
have  to talk  to him  a few times,
and/or talk  to his wife).  He will
give you the key to the mine.

Go  to one  of the  warehouses near
the   mines,   and   retrieve   one
lubricant and one  lead weight. You
can get the  weights in the mayor's
office,  too. Enter  the mines,  go
down  to the  third level  (use the
lift)  of  the  mines,  and  in the
eastern  part, you  will find Yelda
through an illusionary  wall (it is
kind  of obvious,  though). You way
will be blocked by a rusty door. In
the inventory screen,  use the lead
weight and the  lubricant on it. Go
through  and explore  till you find
a book  called  Translation  Notes.
Therein, you will  be told that the
first   temple   of   the   "Matrix
Configuration" is on  the island of
Scaeth.   Go   to   Pestur's  Wake.
(Pestur's  Wake is  on the  eastern
coast, in the north)

PART VI: THE FIRST TEMPLE

Once you go into Pestur's Wake, you
should be  met by a  messenger from
Councillor Pestur. He will want you
to  meet him  in a  "Broone's Bane"
inn.  Go  there,   and  follow  the
messenger   to   Pestur.   Ask  the
councillor  about  Scaeth.  He will
tell  you that  he wants  you to do
a mission   for  him,   and  rescue
a lost   diplomat  -   Hans  Middle
thorn. He  will tell you  about the
situation in Essam  (on Scaeth) and
how he intends  to restore order by
completing   the  Wheel   of  Essam
(which   is  in   fact  the  Matrix
Tablet-a device  needed to activate
the  temple)  a  piece  of which is
held  by  each  of  the  three main
gangs on Essam. He will now provide
you  with a  piece of  the Wheel of
Essam (which is  actually fake) and
transportation to  Scaeth. You will
also be told  that the diplomat was
last in Hotel Essam. Take the ship,
go  to  Essam.   Find  Hotel  Essam
(North  of   the  central  market),
inquire  about  Hans  Middle thorn,
you will  be told that  he went for
a meeting  in  "Spiting  Camel" inn
(which  is by  the southern docks).
Go  there  ask  about  him, and you
will  be  told  he  met  with  Gray
Stalkers,   but  was   captured  by
someone else.  Now, go to  the Gray
Stalkers   headquarters,   and  ask
about  him. They  will tell  you he
was   captured  by   the  Assassins
Guild.  Go to  the Silver  Garrote,
and ask the  proprietor about Hans.
Pay  for his  release. Go upstairs,
talk to  Hans. He will  meet you at
Gray Stalkers HQ. Go there, and you
will be given 3 letters to be taken
to  leaders of  the other  3 gangs.
Use the underground tunnels beneath
the Gray  Stalkers HQ to  visit the
other gangs HQ. Give the letters to
the  messengers  (the  people  that
talk  to  you)  and  make  sure you
stick  around  till  they  tell you
that the message  will be received.
Once all 3 are delivered go back to
Hans,  and  he  will  to  meet  the
leaders  at the  city graveyard. Go
there,  find  the  leaders  (in the
north  part of  the graveyard) they
will  attack  you.  Kill  them, and
collect  their  3   pieces  of  the
tablet. (  Hans will offer  to join
you now,  let him in  if you want).
Now  walk  around  and  ask  around
about  the  Wheel  of  Essam  until
someone mentions that the leader of
Silver  Talons  lost  a  piece. Ask
about Silver Talons,  and make sure
that  you  get  the  name Joolz the
Blade before you leave Essam.

Leave Essam, find the temple on the
south   end  of   the  island  (its
a small skull on  the map) and tell
the  Jolly  Beardy  Man  that he is
"Joolz the Blade". He will give you
the  real 4th  piece of  the tablet
(the Bannar).  Go to the  top level
of the temple and drop all 4 pieces
on the top of  the column (right in
the centre  of top level).  Now the
temple  is  active,  and  you  will
receive  the location  of the  next
one, on the island  of Garl east of
Anchor.

PART VII: THE SECOND TEMPLE

Go to Anchor (which  is on the east
coast, south of  Pestur's Wake) and
you will be met by a messenger that
will ask you to  come along to Lord
Hooley. Follow him,  and ask Hooley
about  Garl.  He  will  ask  you to
retrieve   3  items   from  Eloran.
A document,   a  coin   mould,  and
a notebook   belonging   to  Karlos
Slumm. Go to Eloran (which is south
east   of  Anchor)   and  find  the
Foreign  Offices  building  (its in
the centre of the town) and get the
document  from  one  of  the  desks
there. Now go  to "The Prince" inn,
and inquire about  coin moulds (you
can retrieve one yourself, from the
royal mint of Eloran but you may be
forced to a fight) and someone will
offer  to  get  them  for  you  for
a price.

Pay them,  and meet that  person in
the south east  corner of the town,
outside the gate to the slave pens.
You will get  your mould. Now comes
the  hard  part.  Go  to the Eloran
jail,  and ask  about Karlos Slumm,
they   will   tell   you   he   was
transferred  to the  slave pens. Go
to the slave  pens, and (during the
day)  you  can  find  a  guy  named
Theodore. Ask him  about Slumm, and
he will tell you  that he can check
his  ledger (for  a price)  do that
and  you  will  find  out  that one
Peter Helbar bought  him. Go to the
"Forgotten Heroes" inn  and ask the
rumour monger Erwin about Peter. He
will tell you  that he hangs around
that inn  often. Find him,  and ask
him about  Slumm. He will  tell you
that he gave  him to Joseph Traal-a
slave  trader. An  alternate way to
get  the topic  of Joseph  Traal in
your  vocabulary is  to go  to "The
Prince" and ask a girl named Ferrit
about Peter Helbar. Either way, you
must ask Ferrit about Joseph Traal.
She will  tell you that  he went to
Halfway with his  slave caravan. Go
there  (its located  between Tormis
and  Eloran) and  inquire about him
in  the  local  inn.  You  will  be
directed  to Graybrook.  Its a city
on the west  coast, barely north of
Tormis.  Go there,  and once again,
inquire  about Traal.  Now you will
be told  to go to  Attiea. Go there
and ask about  Traal, and you shall
be told that he went on to Dryleaf.
Go there, and  ask about him again,
you  will  be  told  to ask Arienne
Toogal. Ask her about him, also ask
Ivan   Helmhand  (captain   of  the
Northern Rangers-located  just east
of  the Dryleaf's  only inn)  about
Traal.  You won't  be told anything
conclusive, so go to Trade Town and
ask  people there  about him,  then
you shall be directed to his villa,
just east of Trade Town.

Go   there,  and   you  will   find
Traal's journal  in a house  in the
south  west of  the compound.  Upon
examining it, you will find that he
is immortal now,  and only a spider
can kill him. Get the spider dagger
from the bed nearby, and proceed to
the  north of  the building.  There
you shall find Traal. Kill him, and
retrieve Slumms notes.

If  you want  you can  turn in  the
Traal's Journal to Ivan Helmhand in
Dryleaf for a  lousy reward. Return
to  Anchor.  Return  the  items  to
Hooley in Anchor. Board the ship he
gives  you. Go  to Garl.  Go to the
tower there, and you will encounter
a mad   scientist  who   will  want
a brain  in exchange  for a  Matrix
Tablet he is holding. Make sure you
get the topic of bodies before your
return   to  Anchor.   Go  back  to
Anchor,   and  visit   the  Medical
College.   Ask  the   dean  of  the
college  (he  is   in  the  eastern
building  of   the  college)  about
bodies.  He will  tell you  that he
obtains   them    from   one   Axel
Forkbeard. Ask around, and you will
find out that  he is hanging around
the "Daemon Bell"  inn. The "Daemon
Bell" and "Black  Spot" are both in
the  south  east  of  town near the
docks  there,   with  "Black  Spot"
being  just slightly  north east of
the  "Daemon Bell".  Go there,  and
talk   to   Axel   Forkbeard  about
bodies. He will get pissed off, and
tell  you  off.  Then  he will send
some heavies to rough you up. After
dealing with them, go to the "Black
Spot"  tavern, and  take the stairs
down   to   the   passage   to  the
lighthouse.  Take the  passage, and
in  the  lighthouse  you  will find
Axel,  and his  cronies. Beat them,
get the  brain from the  floor, and
Axel's  notes (which  you can bring
to the  medical college for  a lame
reward).  Return to  Garl, give the
brain  to the  mad doctor.  He will
give  you  the  tablet.  Go  to the
temple  (just south  of the  tower)
and drop your  tablet in the centre
of   the  top   level  again.   The
location of the next temple (in the
Border Peaks) will be shown.

PART VIII: THE THIRD TEMPLE

This   is   probably   the  easiest
temple.  Go  to  the  Border  Peaks
(a massive range  covering the most
of  the south  and Elsopea)  and in
them find  a large lake,  which has
a village  beside it  (if you  find
Hope-the stronghold of the Hillcats
-where you can pick up Shadwell for
a valuable    addition    to   your
fighting force -then  you are quite
close). It is  almost in the centre
of  the  border  peaks.  Enter  the
village.  You will  find its  quite
burned down, but  in the east part,
there  is a  large, black building.
Enter  it.  Find  your  way  to its
centre,  and  talk   to  the  Kzzir
leader there. He will tell you that
he needs an energy crystal from the
middle  level  of  the  temple.  Go
there, and  after a few  fights you
should   be  able   to  reach   the
crystal. Return it to the Kzzir. He
will give you the Matrix Tablet. Go
to the  third level, and  use it in
its centre (just  like the previous
two   temples).  The   temple  will
become active, and  the location of
the  next  one  (on  the  island of
Barchetta) will be  revealed. Go to
Dryleaf.  Ask about  Barchetta, and
take the  ship to Mashan,  the city
on the island.

PART IX: THE FOURTH TEMPLE

The  city  of  Mashan  is  ruled by
pirates.  Gather enough  rumours to
get the  topic of Rebel  Pirates in
your   vocabulary.  Now   find  the
leader  of  the  city,  Friday  the
Sword (he  should be in  the middle
of the town, in  the town keep) and
ask  him about  Rebel Pirates (make
sure   you  have   Abdula  in  your
vocabulary  before  you  leave him)
and   about  Skull   Mountain  (you
should  have  this  topic  from the
Translation  Notes).  He  will tell
you  about the  Catacombs. Ask  him
about those,  and in turn,  he will
tell  you  that   the  key  to  the
catacombs is with the jailor, Bruno
of Mashan. Go to Bruno, and ask him
about  the  Catacomb  Key.  He will
give  it  to  you,  and  since  the
entrance to the catacombs is in the
keep, return there  and enter them.
Make  your way  roughly towards the
south   eastern   corner   of   the
catacombs. You should find the exit
to  the  main   part  of  Barchetta
there.  Explore Barchetta  down the
eastern   coast   until   you  find
a small port. Enter it, for its the
hideout of the Rebel Pirates. Fight
the guy right in  front of the exit
(Gus the Helmsman), and you will be
told that Abdula  sailed away, with
the   Matrix   Tablet   needed   to
activate the  Skull Temple/Mountain
west  of  the  port.  Now, you must
return   to  Dryleaf.   Ask  around
Dryleaf  about Abdula.  You will be
told  to  ask  a  scholar.  Ask any
scholar in  any town, and  you will
be   told   that   this   sort   of
information can be obtained through
a Daemon Oracle. You  can buy those
at  any  major  store  for  a hefty
price.  Use  it.  BUG  WARNING: THE
DAEMON  ORACLE CAUSED  MY SYSTEM TO
CRASH Thus, I had to search blindly
for Abdula.  Go to Morgan,  a small
fishing  village,   just  south  of
Dryleaf.  Go  to  the  inn  in that
village.  In  the  backroom  of the
inn, you will  notice a person that
looks like your party. Talk to that
person   (named    Ulweyrn)   about
Abdula. It will  turn out that this
person is  in fact Abdula,  and you
will  be attacked.  After the fight
collect  the   Matrix  Tablet,  and
return  to Mashan,  go through  the
catacombs  again,  and  install the
tablet in  the temple like  you did
before (third  level, middle-top of
energy column). The location of the
last temple will  be revealed to be
on  the island  of Soramuth. Return
to Dryleaf.

PART X: THE FIFTH TEMPLE

Once you returned to Dryleaf, go to
the  local  inn,  and  find the man
called  Harald Half  Troll. Talk to
him  about Soramuth.  Give him  the
Blower  Ale you  obtained from  the
"Dark  Horse"  brewery  in  Tormis.
Board  his  ship,  and  you will be
attacked by a Leviathan on your way
to Soramuth.  After you wash  up on
shore,  follow  the  western coast,
until  you  come  across  a  tower.
Enter it and talk to the man inside
it.  Ask him  about Skull Mountain.
He will tell you  that he will give
you  the tablet  needed to activate
it, if  you accomplish a  series of
tasks for him.

He  will  tell  you  that the first
task is to deactivate the Leviathan
(which   of  course   is  basically
a submarine). The way to do this is
to shut  off the valves  inside it,
in a specific order.

To  do that  enter the  underground
complex beneath the tower. First of
all,  you  will  have  to  retrieve
a set   of  keys   to  access   the
Leviathan. They  are in a  room, in
the   north  part,   marked  "Gorak
Halan". Next, proceed  to the south
eastern part of the complex and use
the keys on the door, to get to the
Leviathan.  Once inside,  go to the
central  console,  and  the  screen
should  turn to  display of symbols
with  gauges beside  them. Clicking
on   a  symbol   will  disarm  that
particular  part of  the Leviathan.
You're   expected  to   disarm  the
valves  in   the  following  order:
Armory Systems, Energy, Navigation,
Propulsion,  Air   Ballast,  Brain.
I will  try to  draw in  ASCII what
those symbols looked like, however,
yo can deduce  it for yourself, for
the same symbols  are used by doors
to  rooms that  store certain items
(example: the Armory symbol is used
by  the  door  to  a  room  full of
weapons).


`Armory Systems:
`     O    <-its just a circle
`Energy
`    ||  | <-2 bars, 1 thick,1 thin
`Navigation
`    X      <-almost like "x" with .
`Propulsion         a flag on end
`___  | | __|_|

`Ballast
`    |
`    O  <-a circle with a line
`                         above it
`Brain
`    F  <-looks almost like letter F

Once  you   disarm  the  Leviathan,
return to the man  in the tower. He
will ask you to  close off some air
vents. This is  done by finding the
keys  marked I,  II, III,  IIII and
using them  to LOCK the  doors with
the  matching  markings.  Once  all
four  doors are  locked, return  to
the man for  your final task, which
is to  blow up a dyke.  To do this,
you must find  several items in the
compound below tower:  a wire fuse,
a gunpowder,  a  cork,  and  a clay
jar.  All  the   items  are  there,
although  they  are  a  bit  strewn
about. Use the  gunpowder, fuse and
cork to create a  bomb, and use the
bomb by the dyke  (which is next to
the Leviathan). You will have a few
minutes to  make it back  up to the
tower,  before  the  bomb explodes!
Hurry back  to the man,  to receive
the Matrix Tablet and a Jet Statue.
Go to the temple (slightly north of
the  tower) and  use the  tablet in
the  manner you  used the  previous
ones.  Now  use  the  Jet Statue to
return   to   Dryleaf.   You   have
activated the Matrix Configuration!

PART XI: THE SEARCH FOR ALATHON

Go to Trade Town,  to the inn where
Alathon   was   staying.   Ask  the
barkeep about him. You will be told
that  he  went  to  an  inn  in the
Campps, called  "Master of Puppets"
and that you're supposed to ask the
proprietor about a keyword Rabbits.
Go to  the city of  Slime (which is
the  easternmost  city  right below
the great  Wall) and find  the said
inn. Ask  the barkeep of  Master of
Puppets  about Rabbits  and he will
tell  you  that  Alathon  left with
a group of Njord Wolfraven's people
to  go  to  Rowche.  Go  to  Rowche
(first city west of Slime) and find
the  inn  there,  go  in  and Njord
Wolfraven  will hand  you a message
from Alathon. Read the message, and
go  to  Hajak  (Hajak  is  west  of
Rowche),  and  find  the  house  of
Svein  McDoogal (its  more less  in
the  centre of  the town).  Talk to
Svein  about Njord  Wolfraven. When
you leave  you will be  attacked by
him.  Slay  him,  and  you  will be
attacked by  Njord Wolfraven (turns
out he tricked you to slay McDoogal
for  him-there is  no way  to avoid
it).  This  is  a  tough  fight, so
prepare well before you do it. Slay
him, and pick up  his notes and his
magical  axe,   Groinsplitter  (not
a bad weapon). Read  his notes. Now
you  know  you  have  to search out
Edric in Eloran to find Alathon. Go
to Eloran. In Eloran, you will have
to  find  the  house  of the family
Torano,  that's where  Edric is. As
you  as  you   find  him,  he  will
teleport  away,  after  telling you
that Alathon is dead. Go around the
house, and find a  bottle on a desk
in the north-westernmost room, pick
it up  (it may be  slightly hidden,
so just  use the pick  up option by
that desk). Alathon  will float out
of the bottle, and  tell you he has
been  killed,  and  his  spirit  is
trapped in the bottle. Now you will
be  told   how  to  shut   off  the
Daemonsgate:  you will  need a Lore
Master that is willing to sacrifice
himself  (that would  be Alathon in
the  bottle)  and  a  Daemonologist
capable   of  summoning   a  Daemon
Prince.  You will  also be  told to
search  out the  sword of  Karadith
from the Elsopean  city of Helladi.
Your first order of business should
be to  get a Daemonologist  to join
your party.

You will told  that a Daemonologist
lives in Dryleaf.  Go there, and in
the    first    row    of    houses
(northernmost)  in  the westernmost
house  lives one  Nikolause Krippe.
He will tell you that he shall join
your party if you  bring him a book
called Summoners Almanac. This book
is in possession of a Daemonologist
living  in  a  tower  just north of
Tormis. Go  there, and the  book is
lying on  the floor there.  Pick it
up   and  the   Daemonologist  will
attack  you.  Slay  him.  Return to
Dryleaf,    give   the    book   to
Nikolause, and get him to join you.
Now you must venture to Elsopea for
the final time.

PART XII: THE SWORD

If  you  follow  the  western coast
south  towards  Elsopea,  you  will
come to the city of Helladi. Go in,
and in  the tower in  the centre of
the city is  the city's mayor. Talk
to  him  about   Karadith  and  his
sword. He will say that you will be
allowed  to recover  it, under  the
condition  that you  first get  him
two power crystals, from the cities
of  Ast and  Doorkannen. Leave  the
city  and  follow  the  west  coast
south (Ast is on  the west coast of
the eastern peninsula). Eventually,
you will  come to Ast.  The crystal
is in the city tower, in the centre
of  the  town.  Keep  following the
eastern coast, and you will come to
Doorkannen.  The crystal  is again,
in the  centre of the  town. Return
to  Helladi with  the crystals, and
give  them  to  the  mayor. He will
inform   you  that   the  tomb   of
Kadarith is now open.

The  tomb is  slightly east  of the
central city tower. Go in, and pick
up all the energy crystals you find
there.   Now  drop   the  two   jet
crystals  on top  of the  statue of
the   black   hero,   the  amethyst
crystals  on top  of the  statue of
the purple  hero, rubies on  top of
red hero, emeralds  on top of green
and sapphires on top of blue (order
is  not  important).  Karadith will
awaken,  and challenge  one of your
party   to  single   hand  to  hand
combat. Slay  him, and you  will be
rewarded  with two  potent weapons:
Spirit  Sword and  Karadith's Sword
(the only weapon capable of slaying
Alkat).  Now you're  ready to close
the     Daemonsgate.      Go     to
Tan-Eldorith, and  step through the
Daemonsgate (which is on top of the
central city tower).

PART XIII: THE FINALE

Once  through the  Daemonsgate, you
will be in the Daemon dimension.

Immediately  use the  Ornate Bottle
(the  bottle with  Alathon in  it).
This  will trigger  an explosion of
the  Daemonsgate.   You  will  also
receive  a Golden  Master Key. Now,
you must  head north east  till you
hit  the  giant  citadel  of Alkat.
Enter it and  use the Golden Master
Key to unlock the door. The general
idea  of  the   citadel  is  to  go
around, and find bosses which carry
Master Keys of different colours to
open   successive   doors   of  the
palace. However, this last level is
VERY BADLY DESIGNED!!!
