For the past few days I've been stuck trying to do the little bit of quests I have so I can lvl and reach the other parts of the zone without...dieing so much...lol

I've explored most of the map I'm on, except parts that have lvl 9+ mobs that I can't take on just yet at lvl 7. I have nothing but quests to get the xp i need to lvl and can't finish ANY of them.

Quests:
Lovis Loot - Can't find the artifacts.
A hunting we shall go - cant find all them, only 1 so far is done.
Looking for Lovis - Can't get in yet.
A greater hunter - no idea what to do on this one.

I've explored alot of the dungeons/underground routes many times. I still don't know what else to do, any help would be great.

At level 7 I was able to use a bow to take out the level 8 skeletons at the main (locked) gate of Lovis' tower (switching to melee when they got close), with several strategic retreats to heal behind the large tree down hill. As long as you get one or two of them each attack, the next approach will be easier. After that I continued south east to clear the level 6/7 goblins, and the first couple level 9 bandits.
The bandits were too tough in large groups, so I went west of the place you meet the dragon knight, and up the northern path through the mountains (and level 6/7 goblins). Farther west I cleared partly towards the passage to Maxos temple (at level 8 or 9 I could take out the level 11 black ring members one or two at a time), then decided to leave that area and clear out the derelict tunnel (the two goblin entrances already cleared above ground). After that I finished off the skeletons around Lovis's tower. I kept exploring, though, and did a fair bit before actually entering the tower.


Lovis' loot can be found near the top of Lovis' tower.

For 'a hunting we shall go', Hallorn is in the derelict tunnels, Yup'ik and Viper are in the far south east area, and Jagon is in the bandit camp (also to the south east, but not as far south), near the quarry. The greater hunter quest can be solved near the quarry (a little west of there). You can go after Hallorn now (take out the goblins first, if you have not done so yet), but I think the others will require you to be another couple levels higher, at least.


Welcome to the forum. wave

Thanx for the Welcome. After I posted this I found the entrance to the direlect tunnels, and completely cleared it out. Lvled right before tho since I had to fight my way there. Lvl 8 now but the bandits give me the hardest time, im going the wizard/mage route which i like, still some range attacks. I've been up to the front door of the Lovis tower, I didn't really look around...lol But I'll go back and do that, as for the bandit camp, i can't make it there yet, no idea of a tunnel entrance to that either.

I just killed Hallorn in the tunnels, got some good stuff from him. Thanx for the help, I'll keep that in mind.

EDIT: I also came across an NPC on a bridge that was selling properties and such. Anyone know anything about that.

I used Hallorn's ring for quite awhile, delaying turning that quest in until I had a better ring to replace it with.

You'll meet Willy a couple more times, either trying again to sell you a house, or get more money out of you; he is a con artist.

lol, Thought so, lost 500g to him...slick little bugger. I'll try and make my way to the bandit camp, since I don't know what else to do atm since the dilect tunnels.

Also, I keep seeing tips about having runners/servants to do things for u. No idea what thats about...lol Also when do u get to change into a dragon again? I did it for the quest then I can't anymore. Either way I'm enjoying the game, just run into road blocks sometimes.

Once you finish off Broken Valley (specifically Maxos Temple) you will gain access to sentinel island, where (after some exploring and quests) you will be able to take over the battle tower there and become a full dragon knight. The servants / runners come with the battle tower; once fully upgraded you can use them to gather gems/minerals to use in enchantments or sell (malachite ore and diamonds being the most expensive), so 'wasting' 500 gold isn't a big deal.

Thanx for your input tho...back to the grind stone.

When you get up into the tower, keep an eye out for levers to open the gates (some are on the ground, some are on ledges you need to jump up to). As you climb up the tower, you will eventually get to 4 dragon statues with pressure plates that need to be activated to open a gate. After that the path splits; keep left to spiral upwards to where you can find a skeleton blacksmith and Lovis' loot, or right to go down a bit to another ladder down to a small platform where you can jump down to the section that contains the door to Lovis' chamber.

After the mine, you might want to return to the necromancer in the mountain cave north of the destroyed chapel (in the starting section of Broken Valley) first.

I thought you were in the mine with the missing undead? (west of Lovis' tower, a bit south of the fortune teller)
I didn't use the creature all the time, but for the rest of Broken Valley I just automatically used a warrior head. In the fjords trying to take out some level 21 imps at level 17, I found the creature much more helpful with a level 2 ranger head than a level 6 warrior head (didn't have a mage head at the time, but I switched as soon as I found one).

GAHHHH! I'm stuck in the room at the top of the tower...lol I can't get out the door locked after i entered i guess. Room with Carlin the blacksmith..any ideas?

There are buttons in each of the rooms (beside wall murals/crests) that trigger various traps (one turns you into a ladybug for a few seconds, etc). The button in the room on fire opens the door (and triggers something to appear in the central room).

Ok so I finally got to the bandit camp, and Ragnor isn't where he's supposed to be. I can't find him anywhere, can't finish the quest without him. Also the Temple of Doom...is there a way around the poison?

Ragnar is only important if you want to mindead him to find the key to open a door in the temple of doom to get some crappy loot. The daylight robbery quest he gives you can find and complete yourself.

In the Temple Of Doom you can stick to the trail of blood and bodies to avoid the poison. Jargon may be a little tough at level 10, though.

Well I tried to use the search feature *cough* Raven *cough*, but nothing comes up for what I'm looking for. I searched for Jagon in the title and the body of the text, just to clarify.

EDIT: Forgout about my minion, took him down with np.
