Game Hints and FAQs **Contains Major Spoilers**

[over_cloud9]

The game does not have a linear progression or ending and your choices through out the game can affect it permanently. So here are some of the surprises I have for you (warning: may contain major spoilers, so read with caution ).


1) Why do I need to complete the Armel's quest (located at Arevan)?

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

He gives you Rusty Key which you can use to unlock the Temple of Wisdom.

2) What are the consequences of Conrad's secret dungeon quest?

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

After you discover the secret dungeon and take him with you there, you'll get an option to Kill him or spare him. If you kill him, you'll get 20000 gold and his quest will be marked in red as 'failed'. If you spare him, you'll get two protection rings and The God of Wisdom, Hamua, will bestow his blessings on you. This blessing is important in deciding the game ending.

3) Are there any ultimate weapons or armors?

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

Of course! Here's a list of where you can find them-
Pascal : Laser Phantom (complete the laser quest of the scientist, Heron, at Copernicus)
Maurean: King's Sword (As a drop after killing the *culprit* when you have discovered who the culprit is).
Loyola: Wizard Rod (Snow Woods chest, Lilliput's battle at Amber)
Kromon: Doesn't have any as he is blind.
Zubin: Dragon Whip (Snow Woods chest)
Zubin (Vampire): Great Axe(Ivory graveyard )
Nandini: Wizard Rod (see Loyola's info)
Seul: Dragon Claw (Temple of Love)

4) The Impenetrable armor can be found in the Temple of Love and as a drop from the secret hunter at the same place.

5) How do I get Zubin?

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

Visit the Tumpala tavern, which is accessible after the orb stealing event, and talk to the twin brothers. During the conversation, you'll get to choose 3 options- yes save him, no, will come back later. If you choose to save him, he will join you. If you select "No", he will die. And you can always come back when you select "will come back later".

6) Valko's quest consequences-

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

After giving him the ingredients, if he drink it, then watch what happens. He will leave an immortality skill pill behind. If zubin is in your party at that time and he drinks it, he'll turn into a vampire! But the quest will be marked as 'failed'.Then you need to buy him blood from the Healer's home at Arevan or else he will die.

7) Lost Love quest consequences-

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

If you save Bima, the God of Conscience, Amadeus, will grant access to the inner sanctum of his temple. That is important in deciding the game ending. If you choose to kill him, the quest will be marked in red as 'failed'.

8) Chryses coins-

9) What will happen to Loyola?

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

Depends on what options you choose when the assassin attacks during Jamini's meeting at Barreli. If you choose "Fight", then she will die. If you choose "No it is too dangerous" then she will live and join your party later.

10) Getting the Love blessing-

After Nandini joins the party, have her active in the party. Then talk to Mariba at Barreli. Buy the desert rose for Nandini.
Next, visit Branian and speak to the florist. But the bouquet for Nandini.
Then, visit Amber and speak to Lubosa. The sequence is not important, it can be done in any order. But it is important to have Nandini in the active party for that. The union can be seen at the end.

13) Secret Boss: Best Boss hunter medal

14) The game ending?

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

The game has multiple endings depending on what decisions you choose during the game.
Ending 1: Get the blessings described in points- 2, 7 and 10. Then obtain the Orbs of Love, Wisdom and Conscience from their respective temples (see world map). Then visit the Zenith at the Castle of Icicles to observe the ending.

Ending 2: If you miss even one orb and reach the Zenith at the Castle of Icicles, you'll get to see the other ending.

There are many other factors that also affects the ending. That depends on what options you choose described in points- 5, 6, 9, 11 and 12.

Wanted to add:

Spoiler: Click to show or hide

I have no idea where the Great Axe is-sorry but I'd need to replay the game to see where it is-but there is another wizard rod, I think. If the party defeats Liliput in Amber, then they get one.

Curse my memory

Thanks Angel_Wings, I'm adding it in my post.

Still trying to find that Great Axe but in the meantime, I wanted to add something about the ultimate weapons. It was something I discovered as I played. For Pascal, it helps to have him learn the empowered thunder spell. I think it's a drop item from Duncan although there's not a guarantee that the player will get it. Once Pascal learns that skill and has his ultimate weapon, when he casts that spell, the damage effect for the monster will greatly increase although it'll also temporarily increase the monster's mind. For Nandini and Loyola, it helps to have them learn the empowered fire spell since the wizard rod is fire-based. I forgot where to find it-I'll look around and pay attention as I replay. It has the same effect when used. I'm not sure if the other playable characters have such enhanced spells but I know that for those three, they do.

[over_cloud9]

There are only two Empowered spells - thunder and fire. So don't worry.

Those are the two weird bugs that slipped during testing. I fixed them in ver 1.5. You can download the patch from the download topic (don't use older save files to play or the game will crash). Uploading them....
