Once he's dead, you can enter the room with the Dreamstone. Before you take it, head right to the empty pedestal. You can put a weapon the pedestal to enchant it using the Dreamstone's magic. The only weapons that I could get to enchant were Thohan's Great Sword (from the Museum) and Firestorm (which becomes Darkstorm when enchanted). When you are done, get the Dreamstone from the holder and then hop on the teleport platform which takes you back to the entrance. Go back inside, and rescue Dawn. To avoid having to climb the platform again, head back to where you entered this large room. There is a walkway going up the stone cluster right in front of you. Halfway up, there is a teleport pod that takes you back to the beginning. Once at the Citadel entrance, use the Dreamstone to open the door to go out and leave. Head back through the mountains, and into the Savage Jungle. To cross the river, you'll need to jump across to the platform on the left side. It is possible, although it may take you a try or two. Once across, head towards the Huline Temple. Use the Dreamstone to gain entrance. Part XVI: The Huline Temple Return to CD 2 When you enter the temple, you will see an open area with a body lying on the ground. Walk past the body and enter the next room. There is an altar that has two bowls on it. BUG!!! If you click on the bowl to the left, Aloe will appear in it. For me, once that has happened, you can't do the steps described in the next paragraph and you're hozed. Instead, place Aloe in the bowl on the left and poison paint (made from Venom Sacs and Lamplight Eggs) in the bowl on the right. (If you don't have any with you see the next paragraph.) The platform behind you will raise up. Drag the body from the courtyard and put it on the platform. Then click on the body. You should see a lightning bolt zap it and the body will disappear. Next, head out the east exit. You will arrive in what looks like a chapel. Behind the altar to the north is some Aloe and some Poison Paint on the floor. Continue past the room and there will be a pool with a green crystal in the stone in front of the pool. Take the crystal. Side note: Out in the Huline Jungle, there was a hut that a platform you could walk up onto and five torches. It was about due north of the Temple and a little south and west of where the Wild Ones village was. If you light all five torches using Spark, the stairs will rise up to a door on the top level. The door is locked, but the crystal you just will unlock the door. All I found in there was Kieran's Circlet and the Dagger of the Empty Hand, as well as ingredients for making more Lharkon Vapours. Once you've taken the crystal, you can also attack the pillars that hold up the ceiling. When you break two, the ceiling will come crashing down. This is kinda cool because the floor is a little weak here and when you get to the underground area and discover the spiders, they will be able to exit the underground through this room. Lowering the ceiling prevents them from getting out this way. Head back to the entrance and take the second left, then turn south. This leads to a circular open-air room with a fountain. If you push the button on the wall by the entrance, an Aloe tree will grow here. Heading back north, there will be barracks and a kitchen area. When you get here, a spider should break through the north wall. Follow the spiders into the next area. There are a lot of spiders here, and you can't kill them all as they will regenerate. In the first room, there will be three "coffins" on the right. In one of them will be a flute. Get the flute. (This is the same as the flute you used back in the Hive Caves.) Head down the corridor across from the coffins, and take the passage to the left. Around the corner after turning left, there will be a table with that corpse from above down here and a large machine. Click on the button by the corpse and it will zap to the machine where it will get ground into pulp. Walk around the back of the machine and pull the box out of the machine and put it into the second machine. (I had to push and prod to get it to go down the ramp easily.) Then go around behind the machine and get the statuette. Continue down the corridor, push the button and a set of stairs will appear that leads into a bedroom. Morph into a lizard and head for the red sofa-like thing against the wall and jump on top of it. Behind it, there is a lizard tunnel and on the right wall, just inside the entrance is a button. Push that button. You can continue down the corridor; it leads to a library that has an ancient magic stone on top of one of the bookshelves. Another secret door leads out of the library to the chapel on the east side. With the statuette, return to the entrance. Head east again, and enter the alcove on your left. (If this alcove is still closed, that means you didn' push the button as described in the previous paragraph.) There will be one wall niche that isn't filled. Put the statuette into it and it will close. From the floor will rise a pedestal that holds a second crystal shard. Take it. Return to the entrance and head west, taking the first left. In this room there are two large bowls and carvings of green crystals on their bases. Put the crystals into the bowls and the wall will open up. Go through the wall into the next room and use the Dreamstone in the receptacle in the pillar. This will create a spiral stair going up. Climb the stairs. In this room, there are three archways leading to three "extradimensional" areas. Enter the one on the left. You will be at the top of a large maze room. Jump from platform to platform making your way across the room. If you fall down, you can find ramps back up to the start near where you started. Staying to the north is your best bet. When you get past that room, there is another room with a long, winding path leading towards a statue in the middle of the room. Run down the path to get to the statue. Things start shooting fireballs at you, so don't go too slowly, but don't fall off either. When you get to the end, pick up the idol and you'll be teleported back to the start. There are also Cure scrolls by the statue. Enter the center archway. As you walk across the room, the floor will start to tilt in one direction or the other. The direction that the floor tilts is based on how much weight is on each side. There are lots of quail in this room and they count towards the weight on the floor also. What you need to do is push the four buttons at the sides of the room (two on each side) and you can only reach the buttons when the floor is tilted up at that side of the room. You can either run around hoping to get the floor to stay tiled up as you run uphill, or kill all of the birds and drag their bodies around to keep the weight correct. When you have pushed all four buttons, the floor will level out and the door to the next area will open. Get the idol here. There are also Stroke Daggers here, and Gorgonite Nodules, and Amber behind the pedestal. Enter the right archway. In this room, there are three long, thin paths leading to the edge of the room with fire blocking the start of the paths. Run down each of the paths and push the button at the end. You can either run through the fire quickly or hit the green globes with a first level Mist of Doom spell to turn off the fire for a short time. There is also a Mist of Doom scroll there. When you have pushed all three, a bridge should have lowered itself into place on the other side of the room. Walk across it and get the idol. Hidden behind the tapestry on the wall behind the idol is a niche that has an alchemical recipie. If you click on the wall at the back of the niche, another secret wall will move aside and you can find the Noble Valkyrie Crossbow. Now you have all three idols. Walk around the archways and go down the passageway behind the center arch. You will get to an area where the floor is black. Does this look familiar? It is the same as the first trap from the Hive Cave, except that this time around, the traps are much more deadly. Anyway, to your right is another receptable for a flute. Put the flute in it and walk across the newly formed floor. Next comes the spinning blades. Again, just like last time, there is a secret door to the right of the blades that lets you bypass this area. The third trap is the rolling ball. Run down the corridor until you see two buttons on the wall. Run past them, turn around, and push the both. This will cause the floor to fall away, the stone ball won't crush you and the door further ahead will open. Don' stay an admire the view too long as the door only stays open a short amount of time. If you don't make it through, you can walk around the edge of the wall (on the ledge). In this room, three holders will fall from the ceiling. Put the three idols in the display cases. A stairwell to the next room will form. In this room, there is a wooden bridge. When you step on it, the bridge goes down a little, but not very far. Soon, some birds will enter the room. Kill the birds and drag their bodies onto the bridge. Once two are on the bridge, then you can step on the bridge and go all of the way down to the bottom. An alternative solution is to morph into the Beast, as that form is heavy enough to lower the bridge on its own. At the bottom, there is another clone of Belial. Kill it, then enter the Hall of Voices to the east. Use the Dreamstone here and the City of the Ancients will be raised from the water. You will be taken to the City of the Ancients. Part XVII: City of the Ancients Return to CD 4 You arrive on the balcony of the Ancient City. Take the elevator down to the main level. A note about the geography down here. There is a central area, which is due south of you. There are four corner towers, to the northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest of that central area. Straight south is the water fountain and straight north is where you are now. You need to solve the four tower puzzles. To solve one of them requires four ivory chips. So first, we wander all over the city looking for those chips. Head to the right at the first intersection. When the street turns north, there is a gap in the wall straight ahead that leads to a balcony. I never figured out what this area was for. Follow the street north and when it turns again, there is another opening straight ahead. In this room, there is a chalice on a pedestal. If you place Mandrake Root into the chalice, you will be transported for a short while to a large area that contains many scrolls. There are three spell scrolls here and many recipie scrolls. You will automatically be transported back after a few moments, so you don't have time to get everything. Just to the east of the Chalice room, there is another room that contains three fountains. Freeze the fountains and break them. There are many ways to freeze things and you'll be doing a lot of that in the city. The ways I've discovered were to shoot the fountains with the bow Shard, attack the fountains with the Axe Blizzard, or use an ice seed from the claw mountains. If you don't have any of these, there is a way to make some ice seeds described below in about ten paragraphs. Once you've frozen and broken the ice, move the block next to the entrance over onto the square in the ground. Then go down the stairs and do the same thing on the next level. This opens up a secret wall. To cross over the lowered wall, jump on the block and then jump over. On the other side are stairs leading up again and at the top of the stairs is a statue holding one of the chips. Take the chips and start running back towards the stairs because the ceiling is lowering. Once back downstairs, move the block next to the wall, jump over, and exit the area. Continue down the street west and there will be another side room to the south. Open the doors to get in this room and then look at the statue holding an ivory chip across a vast chasm. Walk across and get it, stone steps will appear beneath your feet. Don't walk across in lizard form since the steps that appear are far enough apart to fall through if you are a mere lizard. Wait until you are in human or beast form. (Its like that scene from The Last Crusade with the Leap of Faith test.) You now have two chip pieces. Now follow the main street until it ends at a large maze of rising and falling walls. There are three important features here: A spinning stone disk which is just to the left of the entrance, a glowing white sphere and a glowing red sphere. Attack the stone disk with your weapon to break it; cast Mist of Doom at the red sphere to dispel it, and cast a 3rd level Spark (Chain Lightning) at the white sphere to dispel that one. (None of the other Spark spells will do.) You should see a large fireball erupt from a pyramid that was hidden previously. The fireball will flow across the room and strike the center of the tower to the north, blowing the doors open. At the door will be a storm crystal. Take the stairs up and you will see another movable block and a glowing sphere. The sphere is a teleporter; drag the block into it and then follow it in. Once on the other side, drag the block into the square hole right in front of you. Head around the circular gate and you will see a large plane. Off to one side of the center is a glowing octahedron. Click on it and part of a tower will raise in the center of the area. This process I will call "raising the tower" and you will have to do it after completing each one of the four corner tower puzzles. Jump back through the gate to return to the city. Return to the intersection and head south. Directly ahead in the center hub I mentioned with part of a building constructed here. As you raise parts of the building in the outer part of the city, the building will also be built here. Continue to your right. On the north side of the street is another side room. As you enter this, there is a glowing force field directly ahead, and two globes on each side wall. Light the two globes on each side using Spark and a secret door will open between them. Go inside there and spark like the globes on the inside. This will open the forcefield. Behind the field is the third chip. As soon as you take it, the lights go out and the floor starts to fill with water. Head directly south (using your compass as a guide) until you get to a wall. Click on the wall to open it and you will re-emerge on the city street. Continue around the central hub counterclockwise until you are on the east side of the south exit from the central circular street. There is another room off to the south here. It contains a simple fountain that contains another ivory chip. Freeze the fountain, then break the ice and take the chip. You should now have all four ivory chips. Return to the street and head back around the center loop and take the west exit. As you head down this street, there is a side room at the corner when the street turns south. You need to click on the wall in the alcove to get in. In the room are eight side rooms that hold exhibits of alchemical ingredients, all of which you can find at the Ruloi Citadel or elsewhere in the game. To open the doors requires the museum key from the Draracle's Museum. You attack the glass to break open the exhibit and then take the item. When you do, the ceiling lowers itself on to you, and you have to move quick to avoid being crushed to death. As you head south, there is another side room to the east. You have to open another hidden wall to enter. This leads to a view of a large room with silverleaf on the side. The floor is very far down and there is no way right now to access the silverleaf. Opening the secret door allows you to get the silverleaf a little bit later. Now, return to the center hub and go around to the east side. As you head east, there is a center island at the corner that has several large glowing pillars instead of a statue like most of the other pillars have. If you go around behind it, there is a holder for an ivory chip. If you put a chip into the holder, a bright light shoots out. (Someone mentioned that you can take the chip back after shooting the bright light -- I have't tried this though.) These lights go two places: One enters the museum area and breaks down the glass door blocking the back end of the museum. The other bounces into the area with the Silverleaf and raises the floor for a moment. This allows you to get some Silverleaf if you don't have any. You need one piece of Silverleaf. Since the floor only stays up a moment, run to the Silverleaf room first and enter through the near (west) entrnace so that you get there before the glowing ball does. A chime will sound right before the floor returns to the bottom and if you get stuck in the room, there is an entrance to the Underground caverns here. In the museum, if you pull in the ink pen on the desk behind where the wall was, a secret door will open up revealing a door and a Speaking Stone. The door can be opened by using yet another Ivory Chip and behind the door is a Museum key. At the south end of the street, there is a room that has holders for four ivory chips. Put a chip into each holder and the pyramid in the room will shoot a fireball at the tower doors to the south. Do the Raise the tower actions with that tower. Then head back to the central city area and take the south path. At the end of the path, there is a fountain at the top of a set of stairs. floating above the fountain is a water globule. Freeze the water ball and then break it. This will cause water to start flowing in the fountain and flooding the canal behind the stairs. This allows water to get at the third and fourth towers; without that water, those puzzles are insolvable. Head north and take the east path from the center circle. As you head south, after turning the corner from east, there is a side room on the right. Inside this room, there is a small pedestal in front of a large platform. As you get close, six alcoves open up (2 are around the corner) revealing three pairs of items. The first pair is a Fire Crystal and an Ice Seed. The second pair is an Ancient Magic Stone and a Ring of Regeneration, and the third pair is Lightning Crystal and a Stone Cube. If you place one of the items from a pair (it doesn't have to be the item you got here) on the small platform, the other item will appear on the platform. This room allows you to make items that you may want to need to solve puzzles in the City if you didn't bring the necessary items with you. Continuing south to the tower area, there is a door in the west wall. In this room, jump over the canal and take the stairs up to the south and get a few of the Black Lichins. Then head back down and go through the yellow doors. There are four sets of yellow doors, but only one of the three in each set actually lets you go through. I don't know if it is the same from game to game, but when I played, it was south, north, south, middle. After going through all four, you will see a statue of Belial over an oil pit with a fountain. Light the fountain with a Spark spell to create a huge explosion. Take the bow that is dropped in the oil and leave the area. The fireblast will break the pyramid at the other end and open the door to the tower. Raise the Tower. Note that if the water isn't on when you do this, you die from the fire. Head back up to the north where the fouth tower is (directly across from the first tower -- it should be obvious looking at the map). All you have to do here is click on the octahedron to water the area, put a silverleaf into pyramid in the center of the room and click on the hourglass on the far side. This advances time and causes the silverleaf plant to grow through the pyramid, breaking it. You can also plant lichen or aloe in the plots of land on the side and every time you advance time a new plant grows that you can harvest. Raise the Tower. Now that the entire tower is raised, head back towards the very center of the city and enter the building. The sparkling opening is a teleporter that takes you to the real building. Inside, another version of Belial is waiting for you. Once you kill him, head through the room. There will be another forcefield that you should walk through. This is the Mantle of the Ancients. Getting it raises your magic level by 2 and also gives you the fifth level curse control spell which allows you to expel your curse. I haven't found this useful except once when the plot requires it. Return to the city and head towards the southeast tower. Before you turn the street to the south, there is a room to the north. In this room, there are light beams which shoot across the screen. Dodge those and open each of the doors on the left and right of the room. Behind each door is a globe you can light up. In the first room on the right, there is a passage that leads around the corner. On a pedestal in that room, there is a Jeweled Scarab. When you take it, a large fireball shoots at you. After all of the globes all lit, head through the door at the far end of the room. Move the curtain out of the way to reveal a dry fountain. In the next room, there is a fountain with a dragon's head sticking up out of it. Jump into the fountain and attack the Dragon. He will bleed into the fountain which opens up a door behind him. The corridor behind this door will lead to a one way teleporter to the underground caverns. Part XVIII: Underground Caverns Very important note here. This area is filled with green spider creatures. They are very numerous and very irritating, but they are mostly harmless. If you kill them, a brown spider is formed somewhere else in the cavern. Brown spiders are nasty. The best way through this area is to not kill anything and just run. If you need to get back to the City of the Ancients, you can use the teleporter pad that you arrived on. However, before it will work, you have to use a Spark spell on the four crystals surrounding the teleport pad. This lowers a teleport pad and enables you to return you to the City. Run through the corridors heading mostly south and west. Avoid any spiders you see and keep going south and west. All of the way to the south and west is a room that has a fleshy looking ceiling with several hatching pods hanging from the ceiling. In the back corner of this room is a notch in the wall. You can hack through the flesh tubes running floor to ceiling and go through. You are now in a non-walking area of the caverns. Click on the left passage. Then 'attack' to open a passage. Go through it. On the right side of the screen is a tentacle that you can click on. When you do so, it rips off the wall. Wait for a second and a spider will come by and repair it. When this happens, a passage to the left side of the screen opens. Go through it, hack through more floor-to-ceiling flesh tubes and enter the Laboratory. Part XIX: Belial's Laboratory Bacatta gives you the Horn of Belial here. Don't lose it since it is the only weapon that can harm Belial. Walk down the corridor and you arrive at a chamber that is bleeding in the center of the room. Jump into the small canal leading away from the pool, kneel down and attack the bars to break them away, then morph into lizard form. Run through, up the left side, but stop right before you get to the green tube. By the way, the slime you walk through and the green slime in the next room drains your magic. Morph back into human form. You should be able to see three levers across the river on the left. Shoot them with your bow and they will flip down. When all three are down, a dam will close across the river. Then jump into the river, swim across, and get on the far shore. Once on the far side, pull the levers again to release the dam and lower the slime level again. This will empty the next chamber so you can just walk through. (Side note, if you run at full speed, you can also make it across before drowning.) Around the corner there is a door. Through the door, the floor is covered with more green slime. Enter the corridors and head north. When you get to a room with no floor, you know you're going in the right direction. A lever on the wall will lower the bridge and continue past. When you get to the end of the corridor, jump off the edge (this is the only edge that is short enough to safely jump off) and head downstream. At the end there will be a room where you can actually get out of the slime. Go through the door, down the corridor to the second door on the right and go through. Your automapper labels this room as the 'Summoning Room'. There are four translucent skulls in the corners of the room. Cast a level one Mist of Doom at each one. When you do, the skulls will move to the center of the room. After the fourth one is in place, a minor daemon will be summoned. Kill it. Its body has an ancient magic orb on it. Drag the body out into the corridor and into the room that you passed on the way here. Drag the body behind all of the blood fountains and put it on the silver pad beneath the skull. This will open the wall right behind that skull. Jump through the opening and take a long elevator down. You'll meet Dawn here and she'll tell you to go into the birthing chamber and kill Belial. But don't go yet. If you keep clicking on Dawn, you'll get further encouraging messages. After about three or four messages, Dawn will give you the Ruby of Truth telling you that this will help against the monsters Belial is likely to summon. If you use the Ruby on an illusionary creature, the illusion will be immediately destroyed. Part XX: Birthing Chamber When you first enter this area, you'll see this amorphous blob. This is the form that will spawn Belial. Transfer your power to Belial (the level 5 curse control spell). He will thank you, then get upset, then leave you be to fight a few daemons. Kill them, get their ancient magic orbs, and follow Belial. To get through the door, just attack it with your weapon. Note that speed is important in this area, don't dawdle too much. In the next room, you'll see Belial again and there will be an amber river running across the room with blue sparkle things in the river. To get past the river, you must shoot the blue generators in the ceiling to open a gap in the blue sparkles so you can run across. And there are some more daemons to keep you company. In the next room, there are several platforms that shift up and down. Belial taunts you here again and summons an image of Scotia to keep you company. You'll have to kill it. Then jump across the platforms to the far side. If you mistime your jumps, there are stairs leading from the bottom area back to the wrong side of the chasm. These stairs are actually the best place to fight Scotia. If you have the Ruby of Truth, you can use it to destroy Scotia instantly. The next chamber holds a maze of traps. There are three kinds here: stone blocks which rise and fall. Flaming Spears which also rise and fall. And pillars of ice which rain shards down on you if you touch them. To get through this area, you quickly need to destroy the red and white globes and the stone block. These are the same pieces that you destroyed in the Tower puzzle, except that these pieces will slowly regenerate. The stone block is on your left. Jump look up and hack on it with a weapon. This will cause all of the falling blocks to stop moving. Then, turn around and head straight. The white globe should be ahead of you. A level 2 or 3 Spark will destroy this. Now all of the pillars of ice are moved out of your way. Then head north to the red sphere. A 1st level Mist of Doom spell will usually do this one in. This room is Belial's Armory. In the four corners of the room, there are four very nice pieces of equipment: Draconscale Armor, Draconscale Bracers, Draconscale Gauntlets, and the Ring of Drake Fire. The longer you take to get from when you awoke Belial to here determines how much of this stuff Belial has been able to grab and put on. The rest is here for the taking. Now, Belial will summon another image for you to fight: the Draracle. Again, the Ruby of Truth will destroy this illusion immediately. When you are finished with it, hack down the door, run down the corridor and hack down that door and enter the final arena. The best way I found to defeat Belial is just to charge at him and attack him before he can do too much damage to you. Note that no mortal magic or weapons deal any damage to him. Ancient magic (ie, level 5 magic) will damage him, as will the Horn of Belial. Save your spell points for heal spells. The longer you take getting through this area, the tougher he is. Anyway, when he dies, the game ends and you get to savor your reward. Other cutscenes are available when you die in combat to Belial and when you just don't go into the final room. Just wait about in the Armory for about a minute or two. Evil Luther Solution Normally, when the hero of a game starts acting less than heroic, the game starts to quietly kill off the hero or make the game unsolvable. This is definitely not the case for Guardians of Destiny. If you start acting evil, then all that happens is that some of the puzzles change and many of the conversations and cutscenes shift to reflect your new nature. This walkthrough assumes that you were following the Good Luther solution, and most of the puzzles, locations, and actions are the same for both solutions, but in areas there are major differences. In the Savage Jungle: Rather than being nice to the Wild Ones, you can just slaughter them. This seems to be the action that actually determines if you are a good Luther or an evil Luther. The guard by the Wild One village is still there, and when you kill him, you will find two Runestones on his body. Take one of the Runestones over to the face and put the stone in its mouth. This will open the door to the village. When you go up to the village shaman, he will call you a fool and attack you in the area (with lots of his friends). This is a very difficult fight. When you get done, the shaman's body will have a green crystal, recipie for making Larkhon Vapours, and the key to the Dracoid Cemetary. If you then head to the building to the south and then west, there is a room with a raised upper level. If you light the five torches, the stairs will raise up to an extra room. You can unlock the door with the green crystal. Inside the room is a curse control spell (Lizard), the shaman's potion, and the Dagger of the Empty Hand. You still need to do the Dracoid Cemetary to get the silverleaf. Near the temple to the south, there is a wild one building. Instead of being unlocked, the building is locked and abandoned. If you go around to the back side, attack the small opening near the back, morph into a lizard (this will never happen automatically, you must use the Lizard spell), you can crawl inside. Inside, there are several ancient magic stones, Guardian Orbs, and another curse control spell (Human). In the Huline Temple: Since you already have one of the green cystals, you don't need to do most of this area. Just run in, get the second crystal from the room on the left and the flute through the kitchen and head immediately to the crystal room. This saves a lot of effort of having to deal with the dead priest's body, most of the spiders, and most of the secret passages. In the City of the Ancients: Immediately after you fight the clone of Belial that you meet in the center tower of the City, Bacatta appears to try and stop you from getting to the mantle of the ancients. You can get the Serpent Staff from Bacatta's corpse. In Belial's Laboratory: Since Bacatta is dead now, you don't see the cutscene showing him killing a Belial clone. You will have to kill this clone yourself in the first room. When you do, you can get the Horn of Belial from his dead body. In Belial's Laboratory: Dawn will appear to thwart your efforts. She will try to seduce you in order to try to disarm and murder you. You will have to kill her. (I mention this only because this scene appears in the Trailer for the game and people had been asking where this scene went.) In the Birthing Chambers: Instead of having to fight Scotia, you will just have to fight three imps. Instead of having to fight the Draracle, you will fight Scotia. After you have killed Belial, the Draracle will show up and will try and kill you. He is a much easier opponent than Belial to kill and you can just stand toe to toe with him and hit him with weapons until he dies. The ending cutscene shows you becoming the new evil god of the Lands. At some point, you may get the chance to kill Bacatta. If you do, then you can get the Serpent Staff from him.

Most of these must be discovered by trial and error and failures lead to the substance known as Arrant Prac. Arrant means "completely and totally such", and Prac is an anagram for Crap. These are the combinations of substances that I found: Acid Sac + Champion Stone = Pod of the Changeling Amber + Ironwood Sap = Champion Stone Amber + Venom Sac = War Cluster Black Lichin + Gorgonite Nodules = Stone of the Gorgon Gorgonite Nodules + Rainbow Sulfites = Mind Cluster Lamplight Eggs + Tar Crystals = Acid Sac Lamplight Eggs + Venom Sac = Poison Paint Mandrake Root + Tar Crystals = Pyra Pod Poison Paint + War Cluster = Force Pod Rainbow Sulfites + Silverleaf = Manafoil Silverleaf + Wild One Serum = Lharkon Vapours Please let me know if you come across any other combinations. Special Items Many items in the game have a nonobvious use. Here is a list of the items and what they can do for you.

If you look near the end of the file, the names of the speech comments are listed in the file. Among this list is the list of all of the items that Luther can say; presumably, these are all inventory items. There are many items on this list and I have not seen in the game anywhere -- some of them may have been cut from the game, but others may be hidden away, waiting to be found. The list of unknown items are (8 left): Avarian's Feather, Fire Charm, Princess Gem, Ruby Sphere, Tiger Quill, Tome of Force, Twisted Harp, and Water Charm. If you have any information as to the whereabouts of these items, let me know. Thanks. Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny solution Copyright ⌐ 1997 by Mike Marcelais. All commercial rights reserved.
