But when I go south, there are 2 bridges, after these 2 bridges, I'm getting approached by these Fire Elementals... How do I defeat them.. I can't get passed through them..

Complete all other quests before giving the ingredients to the alchemist and having him make the cure.

If you run past the fire elementals, there are 4 strange candles; for each one extinguished, a fire elemental will die, though you do not get the experience points that way.
A better tactic would be to have one character use a ranged attack (an archer set to aggressive works well) while the other hit and runs so as to keep the elementals' attention, but avoids being surrounded. Two melee characters would be a little tougher. If you attack, then withdraw, they should hopefully spread out a bit coming after you, allowing you to take them on 1 or 2 at a time.

ok, then I'll do those Side-qeusts first!

Quote

Nope, East is the Ashen Forest/Fire Forest/Lava Area => where you see lava, Fire demons etc.

Tickle:
1. Rub yourself with the white cream in the alchemist cellar/Imp village
2. approach Spider
3. cut scene and dialog options => tickle LEFT between the 2nd and 3rd leg


First I'm going to do the SPider-qeust.. I did rub the white cream, I approached the spider, but nothing happans, he keeps attacking me! What do I do then?

Also, I've met an Imp right outside the Alchemists Laboratory, and ask for a potion.. I've found the book of making potions, but how do I make these potions?

did you take the cream with you or did you click on the cream in lab? (Spider) - and did you use the white one last or even as the only cream?

Potion => drag a south one over the north one in the cellar. Do it 2x, as the first mix disappears (game design)

As you approach, is the spider green on the mini-map, or red? If you get close enough to the spider that he turns hostile, applying the cream to remove your smell will not pasify him. It may have turned hostile earlier if you explored that area of the village before getting the quest.

Well, that's too bad for me, the Spider is hostile already, is there anything available to fix this?
To make him friendly? because I definetly want to finish this one...

Also, I've finished the potion qeust of that imp near the alchemist lab.

another thing, I've found another qeust, about a Ghost Imp to find the killers! who are these killers? Can't find them.

If you've been in the lich's cave, and read his diary, it will tell you who the killer is.

AFAIK there is no way to turn the spider friendly again, so you'll miss out on the bit of experience and reward (a poison dagger).

The Lich cave is in the mushroom forest, south west of the village.

to get past trapps, the easiest thing i found to do was move 1 character at a time along the wall opposite the trap really slowly. If you observe the traps as they function, you can see that they are on one side of the hallway in the citadel. give it a shot. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />

ok, thanks for the tips, too bad for the Spider! I've Solved the Death Qeust, and I have found the Alchemist! Now I'm searching the 3 item,s and I have already found 2 of them, the Fruit and the Mushroom! But I cannot find the third <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> .

Also, I've encountered a strange big green meteor, and there are Imp corpse around them! has this something to do with the third item?

Placing paralysing traps and luring the Elementals into them works good as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> The chars have then enough time to beat them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Another way is the Shaman Magic Hammer. It's the most powerfull thing I've seen this far ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />


When you find a big kettle of crazy, it's best not to stir it.

If you still haven't found the last ingredient the map at this location will show you exactly where to look.

Act 2 - Dead Forest

As far as I know the meteor is just something cool to look at. There is a crystal there, and some traps, but nothing that I found useful.

ok! thanks I'll post later where I am if I'll get stuck.
First I'd like to know how do you use those Heavy Trap Materials (Correct Spelling)?

In order to use the trap material, you have to buy one of the various convert trap skills. The wording of this skill is a bit wierd, since you aren't converting a trap, you're creating a trap out of the trap material. I experimented with this skill a bit, but found it wasn't really my style, so I don't really know which traps would be best to use, but I believe the Scorpion trap is a popular one.

ok, thanks.. looks like those Materials are useless for me then.

Anyway I'm now at the Humans "Temple City" and I have explored most of the forest around it, finished some Quests, like the 4 altars, the merchant Mutant Thieves. However, if I got deeper south to the Ranaars, they are going to ask me the Qeustion which path I want to follow, but I'd like to avoid that, and I want first to do as many things as possible BEFORE I answer that qeustion... So what should I do then?

Also I've met some "oren" who is looking for his stuff and says that imps has stolen them.. where are those Imps which he is talking about?

The humans and Raanaar do not talk much, so you can tell each that you on their side, and do quests for both.

The imps Oren is looking for are south of him, though they will have a quest of their own for you.

ok I did their quest, got the weapon, and Gave it to them, where did Oren go?

I also have Established contact with the Ranaar.

there are so many qeusts! There is a man who is infected with a Chrystal "disease" I just found out that the Imp didn't caused it. Also I've met a witch who needs to have the ingrediënts for the cure. where are these Ingrediënts.

Also some blind man is searching a book, But I can't find it.
Where is the key to the crypts?

So many Qeustions, but I'll stick first with these <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

Oren is a bit north of the imp camp. Just look for a small camp fire.

Crystal curse => go back to the man in the Temple area and tell him what you found out - he will tell you what to do next. Then search for a large pink crystal in the west area of the Crystal Forest.

Book for Barnie => it's north of the Temple Area, outside of the walls

Crypt key => for this you need to be Nr 2 in the ranking list. Did you already get en entrance in to list by the Keeper of Ranks? His hosue is west of the billboard, near the main entrance portals. After you gathered about 13000 ranking XP - a witch will approach and challenge you. Then the west crypt entrance is open.

I didn't find Oren yet. Still though I'm searching the Ingrediënts for the Chrystal "skin" Cure. Also I don't know how to solute the Smell problem in the Underground Librabry.
I've completed a lot of Side qeusts, but I there is still so many to do. And I have already climbed up the first rank, and defeated the witch. Still I got some qeustions:

- Even though the Witch Possessed (correct spelling?) The Death Knight, how did he managed to release from her possession? He probably folled her, didn't he?
- I've brought the Amulet from the Crypts to the Merchant, but does he always die, when you give him the Amulet? He curses you when he knows the amulet is cursed.

Also, I can enter the stairs in the Temple, but first I'm off to complete the Ranaar qeusts.

Oren's location and those of the plants you need are all shown on this map of the northern crystal forest. Oren shouldn't wander too far from where you first met him. The flowers will only be there after you talk to Raven, so you may have to run around areas you have already cleared, possibly holding down the alt key.

Explore the area a little ways south of the Raanaar library. You will find a pool of lava and the solution to this quest, at number 7 on this map.

The DK was either playing along to get close to the witch (more likely), or was much better able to resist a command that would result in his own death than a simple 'come here' command.

If you told the ghost in the crypt that you were seeking the amulet for his daughter, he would have warned you that the amulet was cursed and you would then have the option of telling the merchant that. The merchant's curse has no effect, so some people prefer not to warn him, to get the loot he drops.
