You can't kill this Ghost. He's the death. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Put the sword back in the stone after you have "killed" him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You really should put the sword back as soon as possible, it will have dire consequenses otherwise.

is it mean that i can't take the sword?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Well, you can take it, but it will prevent you from solving quests...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />i don't have a quest related to the sword in the stone!if i take n put it back,can i solve the quest <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/question.gif" alt="" />?anyway,where is the quest about the sword in the stone!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

I don't think there are any quests directly related to that sword. But, they are right about just putting it back because it will affect your other quests...BADLY! If you want to see for yourself. Save your original game then save this other one in another. This way, if you didn't like how things turn out.. you can still retrieve your old game.

u get a quest when u kill the ghost once. the solution has already been given so it is fairly easy.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />so,i need to put it back.is there any difference if i have take it n put it back or i never take it out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />!?if there is any differance,i will load before i take the sword! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

LOL! Just create two saved games.. your original and your alternative game with you taking the sword. Aren't you curious to find out what will happen if you do take it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

You get more experience for taking the sword out and putting it back. However if you leave it in the stone, you can wait until you have done all quests in the Dark Forest, then return and take the sword permanently. If you do not re-seal the demon in the stone, it will kill the traders and elves (though not the one for a required quest), but if you are done with that area.....

Sword from the Stone (56KB) - Fake Excalibur

Well, you get a note under "quests" in your journal yet I don't know if you get any XP...

Yes you do. As Raze said.

yes take it from another malaysian, just do what the DD vets say & when u put the sword back in, u've solved the quest. keeping the sword which has pretty good stats is nice but it won't net u any or little XP. can't remember which as it's been a long time since i last play DD.

last but not least, have fun.

Hey guys, I know this is an ancient topic but, I didnt know this happens. Ive been keeping the sword in the sotne in my inventory for a while ... in the elven village everyone is dead exept that one guy ... i thought this has to do with the council fo seven quest, but is it caused by the sword quest ??

That is correct; they are dead due to the release of the demon. They are not essential, so you just miss a couple quests. There is a way to restore them, via hex edit;

Reviving dead NPCs

Thanks alot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Ill try and fix it witht the hex editing since I'd like to complete most if not all of the quests i get. Im gonna put that sword back in the stone like now <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
