Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga The DKS Fans Ultimate Guide

The Following Guide was written by the Divinity Fans on this Forum & I'd like to give Credit to the wonderful people that helped me to write it.

Thank you Raze you've been a big help throughout the whole of this & the guide wouldn't be as good without your input your a star.

Thanks Stabbey Don't think for a second that I've forgotten about all the help you gave me when I first started writing this guide.

TIP

Before we get started note this handy little trick & put it into practise often, if you save your game before opening a treasure chest you can force it to spawn new items. So if your not happy with the loot in the chest simply reload your save & it will change what's in it. Also don't save while standing too close to the chest I've noticed that if your stood too close when you save it tends to stop the chest from spawning different Items when you reload the save, Also note that the inventory of the merchants in the game change every time you lvl up so check the shops often, Anyway Happy Looting & let's get this show on the road.

Farglow

The Farglow Connection

Once you've created your hero you'll start the game talking to Commander Rhode, after you've finished your conversation head up the slope toward the Village. Once you arrive you'll be greeted by a man named Edmund he'll tell you that you need to speak to Morgana. So once your done talking to Edmund head into the village, turn left & cross the bridge head past the pigs & through the archway to your right. Just follow the path along the river all the way up to Morgana, after her part of the ritual is complete she'll send you on your way to meet Isobel & the veterans. You can talk to Toral if you wish but there is no real benefit from it so head back the way you came & Isobel will be waiting for you on the Bridge. She'll give you the power to read minds .....Evil thoughts..... anyway after she's finished instead of heading straight to the veterans go speak to Edmund again & mindread him to find out about a key to a treasure chest he hid in the training area. So turn round & head right & speak to Aravir who's sitting outside his house you can choose to practise with the bow if you like or you can go speak with one of the others. If you choose to have a practise with it then turn round head toward the bridge but instead of crossing turn right head past the practise dummy & speak with Sonja. She'll summon some goblins for you to fight, so head into the training area & once you've beaten the goblins instead of heading straight back, first investigate the campfire you'll see Edmunds key now turn round & you'll see a massive rock that looks like a camels hump go round the entrance side of that rock & you'll see the rock next to it has a slant on it that your able to climb up so jump all the way up it to find a Skillbook on top as your reward. Now head back out of the training area & you'll see Gwain sat on a bench to the left near the training dummy he's the sword veteran. If you head round to the left you'll see Arberic near the well he's the magic veteran. Note that it's worth speaking with all 3 veterans & having a practise with the weapons even if your not planning to use them you can sell the weapons to Gerald to make a little extra coin. So once you've chosen a discipline to follow Warrior Ranger or Mage & finished your practise battles it's time to head back to Rhode but before you do Use the skillbook to put a point in lockpick & open the treasure chest by Arberic. Now head over the bridge & turn left & go through the bushes beside the house to find Edmunds treasure chest use the key you found in the training area to open it. Now once your finished buying what you need & playing with goblins head back to Rhode & it's off to Broken Vally.

Note: You can get Gerald to lower his prices a 2nd time by giving him a book to read, just read Barabara's mind then go speak to Gerald & give him the book to get yet another discount. You'll find a book next to the man sitting by the wall of the Archway you go through to go & talk to Morgana.

Mind reads

Edmund = 1 exp = learn the location of his treasure chest key

Gerald = 3 exp = Gives you the option to get him to lower his prices

Barbara = 3 exp = Learn that Gerald is a bookworm

Secrets

Skillbook = In the training area on the big rock in the middle

Broken Vally Main Story Quest's

Chasing The Dragon

Once you arrive in Broken Vally Rhode will then give you your next task which will be to find out what the locals know about the Dragon sightings in the area. You could go straight in & start this quest if you like but I'd go hunting some enemy's to level up a bit first, finishing this quest will put you instantly on level 4 but the enemy's outside the village are all between level 1 & 4. If you choose to do this quest straight away then the lower level enemy's won't give you much exp for killing them & with limited amounts of enemy's to kill it's best to kill the enemy's around your level rather than relying on quests to level you up. That way you'll get the maximum benefit form both the enemy's & the quests & it will work out better for you in the long run. So anyway head into the village to speak with the locals, you'll need to speak with the following before heading into the barracks to see Rhode,Ollie, Elisabeth, Romon & Winthrop.
So head toward the building to your Left & you'll see 2 men sat at a table outside it. The man on the left is Ollie talk to him & he'll tell you what he knows about the dragon. Once your done with Ollie head up the slope past the stables & you should see Elisabeth on patrol talk to her & ask her what she knows about the dragon. After your done with Elisabeth head across the bridge & speak with Romon who's speaking to a guard to the right of the chapel. Ask him about the Dragon to find out what you need to know & he'll ask a favour of you (See Lovis' Loot in Side Quests). Once your done speaking with Romon head back over the bridge & down the slope round to the left you'll see Winthrop stood outside the entrance to the mill. He's the last person you'll need to talk to so speak with him & he'll tell you what he knows about the Dragon.
Once you've spoken to everyone it's time to go & speak to Rhode, So head back to the Village entrance & head up the steps to the left of the entrance & walk along the wall past Keane & in through the door. You'll See Rhode To your right talking with Louis, so speak with her & tell her what you've discovered about the dragon sightings, she'll then give you you're next mission.

To Lay a Ghost to Rest

Id advise you to do a bit of levelling up before continuing otherwise you might find yourself more than a little overwhelmed. Try to be at least Level 4 before entering the chapel to face the ghost within or you might not make it out alive, be sure to save before you enter in case you need to do a little more levelling up. The goblins outside the village are all between level 1 & 4 so there easy pickings for the most part, so it's best to go bully them till your ready to go into face the wrath of your foe. Once you ready to rock go into the chapel walk toward the alter & go through the door to the right of it into the tomb. Once your inside you'll be greeted by 3 level 4 skeleton's so turn there bones to dust & go through the door to the catacomb. As soon as you approach the alter in the centre of the room the ghost will show up & talk to you. As soon as your conversation is over you'll enter battle, The Ghost is level 5 & he will be assisted by some level 4 skeleton's. A good tactic to use in this battle is to keep your distance from the ghost & hurl a few spells his way while dispatching any skeletons that come your way. Another way to go about fighting him would be to learn Magic Missile, get close to him & slap him a few times & he will attempt to use his Firewall magic. If your caught inside it you'll suffer fire damage for about 5 seconds, so get close stab him a few times & jump or roll out of the way when you see he's about to cast his spell. When he does hurl your Magic Missile at him, this tactic works like a charm & if you have enough points in your Magic Missile the spell will target him & any nearby skeletons as well. You will only have to knock about 3/4 of his health off him to end the battle once you have done so he will stop attacking & talk to you once more. If you like to use a sword & Shield then it may be a good idea for you to mindread him to learn the location of his old shield if not then don't waste your exp. Once he's finished patting you on the back for a job well done he'll give you his sword, a two handed blade. Don't get too attached to it though it's not going to be yours for long, so before you head back to Rhode take a look around. You'll find a key on the alter that the ghost appeared beside behind the pillar on the wall (behind the said alter) you'll find the treasure chest that the key unlocks. Inside you'll find your first armour set piece & a few goodies to take with you, now turn left & open the gold chest on the left side wall. If you look on the alter next to the gold chest you'll find a stats book ...cool free points... anyway as soon as your done looting the crypt head back the way you came. As soon as you leave the catacomb you go straight into a conversation with Rhode, it doesn't matter how you reply to her the outcome will still be the same. Once she's annoyed you & robbed you of your prize she'll leave & you'll be able to claim your reward.......Damn you Rhode you b***h.

The next story quest won't kick in until you've been a naughty little slayer & gone wondering, so head down the Vally to the place you seen Marius guarding earlier. (on the opposite side of the river from the burnt chapel) the path that leads further down the Vally is now open to you so go explore the next area, as soon as you approach the shrine at the bottom of the path your on a cut scene will kick in. As soon as the long string of scenes is finished you will receive your next story quest woohoo.

Mindread

Lord Arban = 400 exp = learn the location of his shield

Talana = 400 exp = makes her lost cleaver appear in Broken Vally, near the Maxos Temple

Looking For Lovis

After your many encounters & conversations you'll be given you next story quest to complete so before you head to see Lovis have a little scout around & level up a little. At this point you should be at least a level 6 so go turn some skeletons into ash piles & get yourself up to about level 7 or 8 before you head into the tower.The Skeletons around the tower are level 7 & 8 so try not to let yourself get too outnumbered or you may find yourself joining there ranks. Note as well that you'll be able to finally complete one of the side quests you picked up during the Chasing the Dragon mission (See Lovis'Loot in the side quests section). So once your ready to storm Lovis' Tower head toward it & you'll see on the one side of it the remains of a bridge leading from the tower. Next to the 2nd support pillar is a series of ladders & platforms, so make your way up to the top to be greeted by the locals. You'll have grind the bones of 3 level 8 skeletons to get into the tower, but hay it's nothing you can't handle right........RIGHT. Anyway once you introduced them to there very own urn it time to finally enter the tower & start looting the place...... I know I know where here to see Lovis. Well if you insist, when you enter freeze dry the bones in front of you & look to your right & you'll see a platform on the wall. Jump up on it then to the next & then the last & pull the lever to open the gate. Go through & look to your left, on the first wall section you'll see another platform.....yup you guessed it jump up onto it. Look over to the right side wall & there is another to jump to & another then the last on the left wall, Woohoo another lever. Pull it to open the gate forward, jump down & underneath you'll see another lever, this one opens the gate to the outside. I always open it because it can come in handy if you want to enter the tower to do some shopping (it leads to the Tribal Shrine area). So continue on through the gate turn some more bones to charcoal & head up the ramp to the left & climb the ladder outside. Yay another ladder, yay more climbing, yay no more climbing woohoo but instead we find a bunch of glowing dragon statues & a locked gate . Ok so take a look at the statues, you'll notice that there all pointing in a different direction. Start by pressing the Pressure Plate on the one closest the ladder you came up, the statues are actually facing the one you need to press next So the order is 1243 open sez me lol. Right then I've just walked through the gate & now there is 2 roads to travel, if we were in OZ I would tell you to follow the yellow brick road but the glowing one that leads down will have to do. So Divine Avenger if the road down is the right way to go then whats up? my answer to that is (see Lovis'Loot in the side quests section) ok so now that you've followed the light & you've come to a wooden platform with a ladder take the ladder down .... or just jump to the platform below either ones fine, jump back into the tower & Fracture some bones. Now before you rush in to Lovis' Chambers go down toward the gate & go out onto the balcony area to find a dead body & a small chest. Loot the chest to find Penelope's Amulet, (See Penelope's secret stash in the secret section) pull the lever to open the gate ready for your return trip & enter the door to Lovis' Chambers. Once you enter you can either make your way through the open path to the right in the hopes that the barrels & crates have some loot in them. Or you can jump over the rubble to the left & turn round to find a corpse to search, take the Reveal Spell, open your inventory & use it. Once you've read the spell a lever will appear, so pull it & take the lift down to Lovis' throne room. Woohoo more treasure chests, 4 of them can be looted right now & 1 of the ones to the right is holding the Blood Echelon Sword. Once your lust for loot is content approach the throne. Activate the pedestal by the throne to start a little quiz about Lord Lovis now if you don't remember what Romon & Nebirius told you about him then hears the answers.

1, Anastas, queen of ancient Ferol.

2, Ouroboros, god of Dragons.

3, The Battle of Ten Thousand in which he slew more than six hundred foes and three Black Ring Generals.

4,Ba'al, the Arch Demon who raided this Vally.

5, The Vally of Shrines.

Once you answer all 5 questions correctly you'll be rewarded with Lovis' Pendant a handy thing to have as it raises your mindread skill by 2 points. Now that you've found Lovis it's time to have a little chat on what to do next, so see you in a few when your ready to continue. Oh yeah 1 thing before you go off to chat with Lovis be sure to mindread him but before you do equip Lovis' Pendent that you just got from the quiz. Don't worry you can talk to him again after your conversation, but his mindread is very costly so mindread him when you equip the pendent & he'll open the chest to the right of his throne for you woohoo more loot.

Mindread

Lovis = 680 exp = Opens one of the treasure chests by his throne (i had the pendent equiped when I read his mind)

Paper Trail

Yay welcome back, did you enjoy your conversation with Lovis, so did you agree to help him if you did then you know what I'm going to say (see Lost Soul in side quests section). Ok so it's time to say goodbye to Lovis & his tower & hello Maxos Temple & all who dwell within but before that I would recommend that you finish off killing anything you haven't killed around the Vally & complete any side quests you have yet to finish. The Maxos Temple will be your first step to earning your wings but one big pain in the a** waits inside for you, but Tell him MAXOS & you'll be fine. Once you've done everything & are ready to continue head on over to the Temple, you'll find it North West of Lovis' Tower.So approach the Maxos Temple & you'll be thrown into the middle of a conversation with Rhode & co. She'll make it painfully clear that she has no love for you anymore given your new nature, she'll set her hounds on you & run off in a strop to go sulk somewhere. Now your left with Marius & friends your left with no choice but to fight, if you chose to come here too soon then your going to be in for the fight of your short life as a Dragon Knight. Marius & his minions are all level 12 but if you've spent the time to level up to around level 11 or higher then they won't be too much of a problem, be careful if your going to have a dual with them Marius can hit pretty hard but if you take out his companions first it helps allot as the one will keep healing while the other attacks with his bow. A combination of close quarters attacks & long range attacks is a good way to play this fight but if you choose to stay at long range you might struggle a bit Marius' Rush Attack can be devastating if you don't have enough Melee Protection. Dual Wield characters are pretty good in this battle, sword & shield characters are also a god send as this battle can be very bloody & brutal if your under levelled. The way I like to fight with my dual wield character is to get stuck in hacking them up while back flipping out now & again to heal then using Rush attack to get back into the fray. I also like using Magic Missile or the fireball spell just to annoy the computer while I wait for my potions & healing magic to do there job. Once you've dealt with them head into the temple & you'll be greeted by a familiar face, so once you've been told what your to do next your conversation will end & so will the quest congrats.

Broken Vally Side quest's

Lovis' Loot

Speak with Romon by the chapel & he'll ask you to go & explore the Lovis Tower down the Valley. Don't worry about this quest for now you'll have to visit the tower as part of the main story anyway so pick it up & once you have the Tower area open to you then you can finish it. When speaking with Romon be sure to ask him more about Lovis as the info will come in handy when you finally get to explore the Tower. So once your inside the tower make your way up the tower until you reach the 2 paths 1 leading up 1 leading down (see Looking For Lovis). The path we need is up so up up & away we go until we see a door, ok let's go through shall we......wait a min this isn't heaven. Oh well heaven it may not be but it is a vault packed with loads of loot to plunder so let's fulfill the name of the quest by looting ALL the treasure chests in this room. Once you've plundered the chests in the rooms & traded with Carlin if you needed look at the room that's on fire. If you look inside you'll see a treasure chest & a switch on the wall right next to it so jump in the room hit the switch & plunder the treasure chest. you'll need to be quick, Dragon or no you'll be turned into a kebab if you hang round in there for too long. as soon as you hit the switch you'll see something appear in the main room, so go & pick it up to take back to Romon. Ok say you have too choices here, 1st you can use the scrying stone before heading back or 2nd you can head straight back. WARNING FOLLOWING THIS SUICIDAL MANIAC WILL GET YOU KILLED .... unless your at lvl 10 or higher that is. I just can't help myself so 1st let's try using the stone before heading back, so use it from you inventory. Examine the stone more closely & look closer into the light ...... it's so beautiful. Wow ok were are we, oh yeah that's right we've been whisked away to a galaxy far far away ..... or to a dungeon at the base of the tower. Anyway once you arrive at this gateway to hell you'll be ambushed by a vengeful spirit & his lovely faithful pets. if your willing to spend 400 exp you can mindread Toshan for a status point yay. Once your done invading his nonexistent mind turn him into a pile of ectoplasm but be careful he's level 10 & his rabid pets are level 9 once you've tucked them into the bed of eternal rest. Go through the archway & you will see a pedestal too your right use it & 3 level 8 walking ash piles & a platform will appear. So go past the fallen pillar toward the newly appeared platform to find another pedestal to play with. Yet another platform appeared & another 3 more bit's or charcoal so crush them into powder & jump up to the platforms you'll see a button on the wall. Press it & 3 weapons & a shield come down on chains for you to pick as a prize. Now don't be so hasty before you choose one go back round to were you entered & behind the 2 pillars in the centre of the island, look in the left corner to find you can choose a skill book instead of a weapon. Once you've made your choice the rest will rise out of reach so make your way through the archway the platforms appeared above & up the ramp to the exit. Woohoo fresh air, time to head back to see Romon & hand over the accursed stone, so it's off to the village we go. You can walk or use the shrine teleport to your right, either way once your back in the village it's time to collect your reward. If you choose to take the stone straight to Romon you'll be able to take up another quest (see Into Thin Air)

Into Thin Air

If you chose to give Romon the scrying stone without using it then you'll be able to take up this quest. head into the chapel & a man named Geoff will tell you that Romon has disappeared , so pick up Romon's notes off the alter open your inventory & read them. Now head back to Lovis' Tower & make your way down to the Lake Shrine (the one at the base of the tower) investigate the locked door to your left & enter. Kill the creatures & go round to the centre island to find Romon, to escape the dungeon just follow the instructions in Lovis'Loot. You may miss out on the mindread status point from Toshan but you'll end up with more exp....poor Romon well at least he's free from Geoff confessing.

High & Dry

Exit the village & follow the River, you'll see a guard tower, when you approach it a man named Quincy will ask for your help. You may wish to mindread him for an extra status point but it will cost you 400 exp to do so but the choice is yours. If you forget to mindread him at this point then you'll miss your chance for the free status point, when you mindread him later he won't be thinking about anything useful so now is your only chance. So agree to help him & dispatch the Goblins surrounding the tower, the goblins are easy enough there are 2 at level 1 & 1 at level 3. once there dead pick up the Grappling hook to help the guard out of the tower, once he's down he'll explain what happened.
Once your conversation with the guard is over it's time to head back to the village to confront Peavey about his actions. So head back to the barracks but instead of using the entrance you use to go & talk to Rhode head up the ramp to the left of that entrance & into the door at the top instead.
Once inside turn left up the steps & through the door to find Peavey, Speak with him & tell him what you think of him.
Once your conversation with him ends Captain Rodney & Quincy will turn up to arrest him, Quincy will then thank you for your efforts & you'll be given your choice of rewards ending the quest.

Mindread

Quincy = 400 exp = Gain 1 status point (you must read his mind while he's on the guard tower)
Peavey = 133 exp = you'll learn about Peavey's stash near the village shrine teleport (you have to mind read him while he's in jail to learn about his stash).

Band of Brutes

For this quest go to the Black Boar (the building Ollie & Stan were sat outside of) & as soon as you enter head up the slope to your left & you'll witness a group of Seekers being rude to a waitress. Now to except this quest either speak to Tim the bartender or to the barmaid Elsa, now head over & speak with the seekers. You can either speak with Merrill or Anthony, after confronting them & insulting them Louis will turn up & ask you about what's been going on.
Now here you have a choice you can either tell Louis exactly what has happened in which case the offenders will be sent on a suicide mission as a warning to other seekers not to get drunk on duty.
Or you can stay Silent about what happened & in which case you'll find the drunken fools in the top part of the barracks sobering up. Note that you get better rewards by telling Louis that things just got out of hand than you do for ratting them out (See Louis' Stash). Whatever you choose to do will make the seekers leave & make the tavern return to normal, so go speak with Tim to claim your reward & finish the quest.

Note: you'll see some rope on the floor near the exit/entrance of the Black Boar be sure to pick it up you'll need it for later

Louis' Stash

If you chose to stay quiet about what the seekers have been up to then you can find them in the barracks on the upper floor. (in the room you pass with the double bed on your way to see Peavey in the High & Dry Mission). Speak with Merrill & he'll tell you about a hatch that leads to a underground chamber that Louis uses as storage. So head out of the Barracks & head over to the Chapel, go round to the right through the graveyard to see the hatch to the Abandoned Crypt. Go down into the crypt & on the back wall you'll find a button, press it to open the gate on the left wall. Head through the gate & kill the level 4 skeleton, head down the passage & you'll see a load of crates in the left back corner piled on top of each other. Destroy them & it will uncover a switch, push the button to open a secret area, you'll find 2 treasure chests in there, now go through the next gate & open the treasure chest to the left of the gate. Head down the hall & through the gate to your right to find 3 more level 4 skeletons & 1 level 5. Head to the right & you'll see a treasure chest next to the table, pick up the key that one of the skeletons dropped & head through the gate to the next area. You'll find 2 more level 4 skeletons & a treasure chest at the bottom of the bed to your right. Now use the key to enter the Gate in the centre of the back wall, You'll find a Treasure chest to your left & a gold chest on the back wall. You'll also find a power belt on the bench to the right of the gold chest. Once you pick up the belt the quest will end & you get to choose your reward.

A Private Delivery

Head on down to Jackson's farm, it's just past the watchtower & over the bridge, once your there speak to Dana. She'll ask you to deliver a letter to Derk the Blacksmith in the village, now then there are multiple ways to do this quest but I'm a little goody goody on this game lol so I tend to do method 1 (which is also the most rewarding). So head on the back to the village, go past the Barracks & up the hill, cross the bridge & turn right go past the pig farm & the blacksmith is right in front of you. Talk to Derk & give him the letter (without opening it), once you hand it over the quest will end & you can choose your reward, Derk will also lower his prices by a large amount & be a little more cheerful & less grumpy if you complete the quest without opening the letter. There are a few way's to do this quest but the above mentioned method is by far the most rewarding but if your curious & wish to know the others then here's how to do them. If you choose to open the letter you'll have a few different options, first you can show it to Carl in which case the quest will Fail & Derk will raise his prices. Second you can open he letter & choose to confront Dana, she'll confront Carl & tell him she's leaving but the quest will fail & Derk will refuse to trade with you. Third you can open the letter & still give it to Derk, he'll be mad that you read it but you'll still complete the quest & he'll still lower his prices but not by much.

Note: if you mindread Derk after completing this quest he lowers his prices again (If you did my goody goody way then you'll get Max discount lol)

Mindread

Derk = 133 = Derk lowers his prices & you'll be able to find Derks Cellar key in the barn to the right of the Black Boar.

Saving the Bacon

Head on up to the pig farmer, (it's right next to the chapel graveyard) speak with Folo & he'll ask you to save his impounded pig's, agree to help & head on down to Jackson's farm. When you arrive speak with Kevin the pig & you'll be stopped by Lomax, so go speak with Lomax & ask him "Don't you have anything better to do than guarding pigs". The next choice you make doesn't matter as both will make the seekers leave long enough for you to free the pigs. Once they leave you'll be thrown into a conversation with Kevin, you only have one choice so once you select it & the pigs will move to safety. Once there gone Lomax & co will return but they won't be happy once you've finished talking to him head on back to Folo to claim your reward. WHAT no bacon & egg sandwich that's just unforgivable Folo, now you've gone & hurt my feelings.

Skeletons in the Closet

You can choose to read Dana's mind to learn about the key Carl keeps on the beam in his home or if your like me & your a nosey mare you'd have seen it while looting his home Either way to get the key just jump onto the wheelbarrow & you'll be able to reach it. Once you have it use it to open the basement go down & you'll see Jackson's Diary on the table. Pick it up & read it to find out that Carl has been a very naughty man, now you have 2 choices here. 1st you an choose to take the diary to captain Rodney & he'll go & arrest Carl or you can confront Carl yourself. If you choose to confront him then you can either choose to keep his secret, In which case you hand the Diary to him & the quest ends. You can choose the second option to get him to buy the dairy off you in which case he gives you 50 gold & you give him the diary. Or you can tell him your going to hand it over to captain Rodney in which case he attacks you & your forced to kill him. If you choose to confront Carl & tell him that your going to turn him into the authorities then you can pick up his necklace after you kill him. No matter which one you choose all lead to the ultimate prize of exp reward. Oh but who's going to feed the chickens while your dead Carl, well how about it, does anyone feel like chicken tonight

Jackson's Amulet
+1 to Evade - Passive Skill

For a Pound of Flesh

Go speak with Locke in the Black Boar & he'll ask you to do him a favour, he claims that a man named Keane owes him money. So head out of the Black Boar & head over to the entrance too the village, Keane is the guard on the wall near the door to the barracks. He tells you that he already gave Locke his rabbit & that Locke is attempting to extort him. There are 2 things you can do here 1st you can choose to threaten him into giving you the money, in which case Keane will be unhappy that you didn't believe him but he'll still hand over the money. After you've finished with Keane head back to the Black Boar to speak with Locke & hand over the money he'll reward you with a discount at his store & you'll finish the quest. The 2nd thing you can do is to take Keane's side & tell him that he can keep the money & you'll deal with Locke. If you choose to do it this way Keane will give you the password to Locke's talking cart, you'll find the cart up on the hill by the waterfall across from the Chapel. When you return top Locke & put him in his place he'll be so annoyed that he raises his prices & you'll fail the quest but at least you can still loot the cart.

Note: you can get Locke to lower his prices by mind reading him & you can get the password to the kart by mindreading the cart so it's completely up to you which way you choose to do this quest. Also note that you can choose to not tell Locke anything at all & either keep the money yourself & loose out on the quest completion exp or not put him in his place if you chose Keane's side so you stop him from raising his prices.

Mindread

Locke = 133 exp = Locke lowers his prices

Locke's Cart = 120 exp = The password to open it

Buad Blood

Make your way over to the mill in the village of Broken Vally (it's the building winthrop is stood outside of) head upstairs & into the kitchen area, you'll see gold lights coming out of the pot next to the counter. Take the lettuce that's in the centre of the light's to find a key under it, the key opens the prison gate downstairs. So head down there, open the gate & go down the glowing trapdoor into the watermill Basement. Once your in you'll find a mini garden that you can loot for ingredients if you wish, you can also pick up formula off the table to the right & one to the left.
once your done taking everything that appeals to you go through the Iron gate to find more stuff to steal. As you go further into the room you'll get to meet one of this game's more interesting & weird characters. So speak with Abanayabar & ask him "why does Buad call himself Upton?" he'll tell what he knows but suggests you speak with Upton about it. So once your finished looting the cellar go back upstairs & speak with Upton choose the "Good to see you again, Mister Upton...or should I say Buad?" option. He'll tell you everything that happened to force him to change his name, once you've hared his story agree to help him. Now Talk to his daughter Linda to find out what she knows & she'll tell to to talk with the people in the village. So head over to Folo's house & speak with his wife Rose, she'll tell you about some shady looking characters she's seen round the mill at night. Now head on down to the Burnt chapel, when you arrive you'll be stopped by a man named Jesse after your short conversation with him he'll attack you. He's level 5 so be sure you your on at least level 5 for this quest, once he's dead go back to the village & return to the mill. When you arrive you'll enter into a conversation between Upton & a woman named Antumbra, so but into it with whatever choice you like they will both have the same outcome. After putting the little psycho in her place it's time to fight, she's the reason I advised you be at least lvl 5 for this quest as the little witch is level 6 & can get a bit nasty if your not prepared. Once she's dead Upton & Linda will thank you for your help you can either choose to be a real goody goody & not ask for a reward. Or you can ask them to reward you in which case they'll hand over 400g as a bonus for saving their hides from the wicked witch of the dead. Either way you'll complete the quest & get to choose whichever reward suits you most.

Head into the Old Cave,(it's a little west of the Chapel Shrine Teleport) open the gate & you'll be greeted by a level 4 skeleton & 2 level 5 skeletons. So kill them & loot the treasure chests & be sure to pick up the key inside the bath tub it opens the small chest on the table. Once you've looted everything head through the next gate & make your way round to talk to Neberius he'll tell you about his little project & ask for help. Be sure to quiz Neberius about Lovis before you leave, it's also a good Idea to mindread him to get his password for later. If you haven't done the story quest "To Lay a Ghost to Rest" yet then you won't be able to complete this quest till you do. So once your able, head over to the red ore mine just south across the river from Sosostra when you approach it you'll be called to by a dying miner. He'll tell you that the miners were all killed by monsters, so head into the mine & you'll run into one of Neberius' creations. There all level 10 but don't worry you shouldn't have too much trouble with them, if you head straight you'll come to a treasure chest that you'll need a key to open. So turn round & head down the left path this time & you'll run into 2 more of the creatures & one of them is carrying the key to the chest so dispatch them & go open the treasure chest. You'll find a crystal skull in the chest along with some other loot, so once you've finished striping the place of everything of worth head back to Neberius to finish the quest & claim your reward.
