The Final Word *********************************************************************** 1. Introduction Okay, I'll admit it. I love Quest for Glory. I'm absolutely crazy about the series. The greatest thing about the series is the well-done connection between RPG and the classic Sierra graphic adventure. Unlike most other of Sierra's adventures, the Quest for Glory series has more non-linear elements. The combat, the spells, the loot, and the silly puns and jokes all make for a great adventure. This is the third game of the five game series. You and your Liontaur friend Rakeesh are summoned to the Kingdom of Tarna to prevent a war from occuring. This is the first of the Quest for Glory games to use VGA graphics and the classic Sierra mouse interface, modified for use in Quest for Glory. Since it is one of the earliest VGA games from Sierra, it's a bit rough around the edges, but it still has a charm all its own. *********************************************************************** 2. The Story So Far In the beginning of his adventure, our hero (you) left his hometown to make a name for himself as a true hero. He went to Spielburg, a valley that had been cursed for many years. The Baron tried to drive away the Ogress, Baba Yaga, but she cursed him instead, and he lost his son and daughter. The realm was overrun with brigands and monsters, and the Baron locked himself away in his castle. Although a dangerous land, the Hero made many friends. He made acquaintanes of the Katta innkeepers, Shameen and Shema, and their merchant friend, Abdulla Doo. He also met such people as Zara, the owner of the Magic Shop, the Wizard Erasmus and his rat-like familiar Fenrus, not to mention the Dryad who protected the woods, and the particularly nasty seller of information, Bruno. He also went to many interesting places, including cliffs with strange plant-life, to the majestic Flying Falls, to the meadow known as Erana's Peace. He first learned of the great Archmage Erana there, and, even though he was told the meadow was her final resting place, he found no evidence to prove that. But being a hero's more than making friends and influencing people, the Hero set to work. He explored a cave and found a Kobold Magic User. Taking the Kobold's key, he freed an enchanted bear, who turned out to be the Baron of Spielburg's lost son, Barnard. This was the first stepping stone. By spying on Bruno and another brigand's plot to overthrow their leader, the Hero found a way into the fortress of the brigands. Passing by a great Minotaur, Toro, the Hero invaded the fortress, snuck his way to the leader's room, and dispelled the enchantment on her. The leader was, in reality, the Baron's daughter, Elsa. After leaving the fortress, the Hero made a final visit to the Ogress, Baba Yaga. Using a Magic Mirror against her, he reflected back her own evil magic and forced her to flee the land. After freeing Spielburg from the curse, our Hero traveled to the desert realm of Shapeir, with the Kattas and Abdulla Doo. The Emir of Raseir had disappeared a year ago, and a portent of evil hung over the entire realm. The Hero met many new friends here, as well, including the Liontaur Paladin, Rakeesh, the warrior woman, Uhura, and the Enchantress Aziza. Performing as only a Hero can, he saved the city from the ravages of the Elementals, and freed the spirit of the tree healer, Julanar. After saving the city of Shapeir, he traveled to Raseir, where he made the acquaintances of Senor Ferrari and Ugarte, who ran the illegal activities in town. He eventually was captured and hypnotized by the evil Wizard, Ad Avis, and taken to the Forbidden City, to obtain the Statue of Iblis, which Ad Avis intended to use to take over the world. After escaping the tomb with the help of a Djinni, the Hero assaulted the Palace and knocked Ad Avis off the balcony of the Ritual Chamber. For his actions, the Hero was adopted by the Sultan Harun al-Rashid, and became the Prince of Shapeir. *********************************************************************** 3. Getting Started --- A. The Classes Once you start a new game, you'll have the choice of picking one of the game's three classes. Any class can easily complete the game, of course, but some have harder times at survival than others... The Fighter You're lauded nowadays as an excellent combatant. You are one with your sword and shield. Your Strength is more than impressive. You're also member in good standing of the Eternal Order of Fighters. Now, it's time to apply your skills to new avenues of combat in the land of Tarna. The Fighter is the most straight-forward class. He speaks mostly through his blade, and his diplomacy is through his muscles. Choose the Fighter if you want an easier time solving puzzles, and are more interested in out-and-out combat. Starting Stats: Strength: 150 Intelligence: 80 Agility: 130 Vitality: 150 Luck: 100 Weapon Use: 150 Parry: 130 Dodge: 100 Throwing: 100 Communication: 90 Honor: 50 You start your quest with 200 dinars from Shapeir, twenty Food Rations, a Waterskin, a Sword, a Magic Shield, Chainmail Armor, and a Note from Shema. --- The Wizard Now a fully-fledged Wizard, you earned your credentials at the Wizards' Institute of Technocery. You've mastered many different spells, and have proved your worth as a spellcaster by defeating Ad Avis, a much more powerful Wizard. Now, you'll learn to improve your skills and learn new spells in Tarna. Choose the Wizard if you like casting spells to defeat your enemies. Although there isn't all that much use for your non-combat spells in this game, you'll be involved in a couple of magical duels that will test your ingenuity. Starting Stats: Strength: 80 Intelligence: 150 Agility: 100 Vitality: 100 Luck: 100 Weapon Use: 80 Dodge: 100 Magic: 150 Communication: 120 Honor: 50 Spell Skills: Open: 100 Detect Magic: 100 Trigger: 50 Dazzle: 100 Zap: 100 Calm: 100 Flame Dart: 100 Fetch: 100 Force Bolt: 100 Levitate: 100 Reversal: 50 You start your quest with 200 dinars from Shapeir, twenty Food Rations, a Waterskin, a Fine Dagger, a Gift from Keapon Laffin, and a Note from Shema. --- The Thief You're quite skilled at the illegal arts. You've assaulted some of the most daunting fortresses and have always come away unscathed. Your treasure-collecting abilites are second to none. You can lick almost any lock, sneak without being spotted, and even perform some basic acrobatic skills. The Thief is a man of accomplishing tasks in an indirect fashion. In the savanna land of Tarna, thieves are out of their element, since there are very few locks and little worth stealing. Still, there is much need for your Stealth and Agility, so make sure to practice your skills as often as possible. Starting Stats: Strength: 100 Intelligence: 100 Agility: 150 Vitality: 100 Luck: 100 Weapon Use: 100 Dodge: 100 Stealth: 100 Lockpicking: 100 Throwing: 100 Climbing: 100 Communication: 100 Honor: 50 You start your quest with 200 dinars from Shapeir, twenty Food Rations, a Waterskin, a Fine Dagger, five Throwing Daggers, a Magic Grapnel Hook, your Thief's Tool Kit, and a Note from Shema. --- Once you select your class, you'll have the opportunity to name him, and adjust his base statistics. You have a pool of 50 points, which you can distribute to your skills in any amount you wish. If you want to add points to a skill that your class doesn't normally have, you can do so, but you'll have to spend thirty points for the first ten. In this manner, you can give yourself a skill you could not normally have. Speaking of creating hybrids, I personally don't like it, for every class can reach 500 Puzzle Points, and if you want to do particular acts, just use that class. Of course, if you like being able to cast spells while sneaking around in houses you've broken into, go right ahead... If you give a Fighter or Thief Magic, you'll start with Detect, Zap, Flame Dart, and Force Bolt, all at a skill of 50. If you give a Fighter or Wizard the abilities of a Thief, you get no extra help in the way of tools... --- B. Importing a Hero Another one of Quest for Glory's charms is the ability to carry your hero over from previous adventures. Click on Import Character when you start the game and you'll be allowed to pull a character from a disk from either of the two previous Quest for Glory games. You'll be installed in the new quest much the same as you left yourself from Shapeir. All your stats will be the same as you left them, unless they are below the entry level of skill for your class, in which case they will be increased to that entry level. This includes Spell Skills. Happily, you'll still be given the 50 point pool to use as you like. If you import a Hero from Spielburg, he'll have 100 points added to all his skills to cover his adventure in Shapeir. It may seem like a lot, but I guess the designers felt you deserved a reward for going through all their other games. Also, you're given an Honor of 100, and your Communication skill will be high reflecting your skills (but I still haven't figured it out). While much makes the transition from Quest for Glory 1 to 2, the transition from 2 to 3 is far more limited. You will have all the pills, except for Vigor Pills, that you had in Shapeir (if you imported from Spielburg, you'll have no pills). If there were certain pills you didn't have, you're given one of them (like Mana Pills, for example). Any Daggers you have will be converted to Throwing Daggers, and Wizards and Thieves will get an extra Fine Dagger. Finally, if you imported from QfG2, you will have the Sapphire Pin that the Katta gave you for saving Shapeir. Now, this would be complicated enough, but Quest for Glory 3 also gives you the option of changing your class before you start. If you change your class, you'll have all the starting stuff of the new class, and all the skills of the old class, and you'll have 50 points for every skill you didn't have of the new class. It's a big mess... --- The Paladin This class is not accessible for creating a character. You must have earned it during Quest for Glory 2 (check my QfG2 guide for how to earn the right), and imported your Paladin. As the most honorable Paladin, you'll be much like a Fighter, but you'll also have some special abilities. These will be described in the Spells section. --- C. Character Statistics On your Character Screen, you can observe how your stats change. Here are all the stats and how to increase them. Every stat maxes out at 300. Attributes (Basic Stuff) - Strength: Your physical prowess, Strength determines how hard you can hit, how well you can muscle your way through things, and how much you can carry. Strength is the most useful for the Fighter, since he spends most of his time using his muscles. Strength also determines how many Health Points you have. - You can increase Strength through physical exercise and through combat (particularly by striking). Intelligence: How smart youse is. Intelligence is most useful for Wizards. Not only does it determine how effective spells are, but also factors directly to Mana Points. - You can increase Intelligence by casting spells, learning things, solving puzzles, or making good moves in combat (i.e. successfully dodging an attack and counterstriking). You can also increase this skill by playing Awari with Yesufu. Agility: This is a measure of how well you can move. A good Agility means you can duck, dodge, and hide better. Thieves need top-notch Agility to perform their myriad skills. Agility also factors towards Stamina Points. - You can increase Agility by performing some of the Thief skills (Climbing, Lockpicking, Stealth), or through combat (particularly Dodging). Also, you can increase by using the Wrestling Bridge in the Simbani Village. Vitality: Although most useful for Fighters, Vitality is good for everyone to have. This measures your ability to take damage well. Vitality factors directly to your Health Points and Stealth Points as well. - You can increase Vitality through most any physical action, particularly by taking damage in combat. Luck: A very mysterious skill, Luck factors into a lot of things, and is most useful to the Thief. How does Luck factor into things? I really don't know, exactly... - Increasing Luck is not very well understood. In this game, Luck seems to go up with most any action you perform. It's pretty slow in this game, though. Skills (Specific Stuff) - Weapon Use: Everyone has this skill, since everyone has a weapon. This is the skill of sticking your pointy object into the other guy. A high Weapon Use factors towards damage caused and successful strikes. - Increase Weapon Use by attacking in combat. Parry: Only Fighters have a true need for this skill, since stopping enemy attacks is much easier with a sword or shield than it is with a dagger. A higher Parry skill indicates a better chance at taking less damage while parrying a weapon. - Increase Parry by blocking or parrying in combat (more so if you're successful). Dodge: Everyone has Dodge. No, this is not your skill at driving a Durango. One can't take hits forever, and a good Dodge skill ensures that you'll be able to avoid blows more successfully. - Increase Dodge by dodging in combat (more so if you're successful). Stealth: An essential Thief Skill. No people want their houses robbed by someone who bangs around like a drunk Moose. Having Stealth activates the "Sneak" ability, which makes you much less noticable to baddies or the occasional law officer. - Increase Stealth by having Sneak active. Just Sneak everywhere and you'll max it out eventually... Lockpicking (aka Pick Locks, I hate grammatical errors): To get into realms of fabulous cash and prizes, you'll need to open door number 1, and your Thief's lock pick helps, but you need the skill to use it. - Increase Lockpicking by doing so. Unfortunately, there's no place to practice, but you should be okay... Throwing: Useful for both Fighters and Thieves, a good Throwing skill can peg a monster with a few extra rocks or daggers before they get close enough to fight up close. Throwing can also be used to hit or knock off things that are far off. - Increasing Throwing can come from throwing rocks or daggers out on the savanna. Climbing: Another Thief Skill, you'll need it for scaling walls, trees, gates, ropes, and other non-ladder surfaces. - Increase Climbing by, naturally, climbing. Unfortunately, I can never max Climbing in this game, but you don't really need to... Magic: The Wizard's skill at manipulating reality. Not much else to say about this, generally. More will be said in the Spells section about each individual spell's effectiveness. - Increase Magic by casting, casting, and casting some more... Communication: This is a new skill which started in Quest for Glory II. This is your ability to speak well. This is good for bargaining. If you choose to "bargain" instead of "buy" something, you'll have your Communication drawn against for successful haggling. Another window will open to pick a counter offer. If your Communication is high enough, the merchant will accept your offer. If not, he or she will give you a price in between, and you can try to match that. Some merchants can't be bargained with at all, no matter what. - Increase Communication by talking with people, and attempting to bargain. Honor: This is the measure of the good deeds one does throughout his quest. This is a new skill which started in Quest for Glory II. A high Honor is a measure of a true hero, and helps towards becoming a Paladin. By the way, Honor can never have points assigned to it in the opening. - Increase Honor by doing honorable actions. Many specific quest actions will increase honor, and more simple ways are by giving money to the poor. Paladin: This is a secondary measure of Honor. It increases concurrently with Honor, but it's meant to relate to your Paladin skills. It maxes at 100. General Health Points - Health Points: If you hit 0, you die. Pretty simple. The maximum amount of Health you have is determined by adding two-thirds of your Vitality to one-third of your Strength. So, if you have a Strength of 30 and a Vitality of 60, your Health Point max is 50. Stamina Points: This is your measure of stamina for performing strenuous acts, such as fighting, casting spells, running, throwing, climbing, etc. Your max Stamina is determined by adding one-half of your Agility to one-half of your Vitality. Mana Points: Mana is your measure of magical energy. Each spell uses a certain amount of mana. Your max Mana is determined by adding two- thirds of your Magic Skill to one-third of your Intelligence. Naturally, if your Magic Skill is zero, your Mana Points will also be zero, no matter how high your Intelligence. Scores - Puzzle Points: Much like most other Sierra games, you get points for doing special acts. The max is 500, and every class has its own special way of reaching that high. In the Miscellany section, there's a Point List. --- D. Magic Spells and Paladin Abilities While so many games give you a billion offensive spells to eviscerate your enemies, Quest for Glory take a different approach. Sure, the magic users of other games can lay waste to any bad guy, but what happens if they misplace their keys, or if they need to reach the book at the top of the shelf? This is why Quest for Glory makes the Wizard skilled in a bunch of all-around magic. Each spell can be built up to 300 in skill by casting it repeatedly. Older Spells (Spells in previous games): "Open" MP: 2 Found: Wizards begin with it. Description: Open is useful for unlocking simple locks and opening doors. Use it when you want to hang back from the thing you open. "Detect Magic" MP: 2 Found: Any class with Magic begins with it. Description: This is a very general spell, and is used to detect any existing magical auras in the immediate area. "Trigger" MP: 3 Found: Wizards begin with it. Description: This lovely little spell can be used to set off any magical spells in the immediate area. It can make invisible things visible, activate teleport spells, or set off magical traps while the caster is still at a safe distance. Pretty handy. "Dazzle" MP: 3 Found: Wizards begin with it. Description: Dazzle creates a brilliant flash of light that will stun anything for a small time while it pauses to rub its eyes. This only works, naturally, if the creature HAS eyes. Having more skill in this spell will cause monsters to be delayed for longer. Although it doesn't last as long as Calm, this skill CAN be used in combat. "Zap" MP: 3 Found: Any class with Magic begins with it. Description: Casting Zap will charge your weapon with magical energy. The next strike will release the energy. It can only be cast once at a time. Increasing your skill will increase the damage done with the charged weapon. "Calm" MP: 4 Found: Wizards begin with it. Description: Since most Magic Users like to avoid direct combat, you can use this spell to immediately cause any threatening monster to cease its hostile intent and contemplate the universe and its bellybutton. This works on most enemies with a pulse. It's ineffective in actual combat, however. Having more skill in this spell will cause monsters to be delayed for longer. "Flame Dart" MP: 5 Found: Any class with Magic begins with it. Description: The Flame Dart produces a small ball of magical flame which you can direct at an opponent, either in combat or while still at a distance. It can also be used, get this, to burn things. As you increase in skill, your Flame Darts will do more damage. "Fetch" MP: 5 Found: Wizards begin with it. Description: Fetch is useful for grabbing objects that are distant. It can mostly be used on small, non-living objects. With practice, you can use it to move objects from one place to another. "Force Bolt" MP: 6 Found: Any class with Magic begins with it. Description: Force Bolt creates a globe of forceful energy. This can be used to attack enemies or to give things that little extra push from far off. This spell can be used in close combat. "Levitate" MP: 7 (Initial cast, continually drains MP while active) Found: Wizards begin with it. Description: Levitate allows you to move up and down in your plane of existence. You cannot, however, move to side to side, but you can, in theory, grab ledges or whatever while floating to pull yourself up onto solid ground. "Reversal" MP: 8 Found: Wizards begin with it. Description: Reversal will allow any spell cast at you to be reflected. This may not always be back at the caster. When two Wizards duel and have Reversal, the results can be quite dangerous for spectators. New Spells for this game: "Juggling Lights" MP: 8 Found: Read Wrapping Paper that you start with. Description: While not a particularly useful spell, you can use it to light up a dark area. "Summon Staff" MP: 5 Found: Create a Wizard's Staff to learn this spell. Description: This spell summons your Wizard's Staff that you can use to cast spells without a loss of MP. Unfortunately, while active, you cannot move, or your Staff will vanish. You also cannot increase your Spell Skills while the staff is active. "Lightning Ball" MP: 10 Found: Ask Johari the Leopardwoman about Magic on your second meeting. Description: This is another combat attack spell. It causes a serious amount of damage, but it costs quite a bit of MP. Shocking... --- Paladin Abilities: "Flaming Sword" Paladin Points required: 10 Description: The first ability gained is the ability to encase the Paladin Sword with a blue flame, which will do more damage. "Healing" Paladin Points required: 25 Description: This goes under your Magical Spells. Cast it upon yourself or others to increase Health Points. It drains your Stamina when you use it, and the higher your Stamina, the more Health you'll replenish. "Sense Danger" Paladin Points required: 50 Description: Once this skill is earned, you'll automatically be able to sense whenever you're in any kind of danger. "Honor Shield" Paladin Points required: 80 Description: This skill allows you to take less damage when attacked. --- E. Surviving in this Crazy World --- Surviving the Interface This game uses a variation on the classic Sierra mouse interface. The text parser of the first two games is gone. You'll use different mouse icons to interact. Move the mouse off the top of the screen to select a different icon. The first icon is the Walk icon, which looks like a miniature you. Click it anywhere to walk to that location. The second icon is the Look icon, represented by an eye. Click to look at stuff. The third icon is the Touch icon, represented by a hand. Click on objects to take, search, or manipulate them. The fourth icon is the Talk icon, represented by a mouth. Click on people to ask them about things, or on yourself to tell about things. The fifth icon is the Special icon, which looks like a swirly thing. Click on it to open a new window. In this new window: - Click on the image of you running to start running. - Click on the image of you sneaking to start sneaking (if you have Stealth). - Click on the image of you snoozing to sleep for certain amounts of time. - Click on your studly portrait to view your Character Screen. - Click on the hourglass to get the time of day. You'll get a view of the sun or moon in its travelling across the sky (from left to right). - Click the question mark and hover over other icons to learn about them. The sixth icon is the Magic Icon, which looks like a five-pointed star. Click it to open a Magic Spells window. There, you can use the eye to get info about a spell, the hand to pick a spell to cast, the question mark to get info about the other icons, and the OK to close the window. Each magic spell is represented by a different icon: Open: Key Detect: Eye Trigger: Circular Flash Dazzle: Multiple Sparkles Zap: Sword Calm: Open Hand Flame Dart: Small Fire Fetch: Grasping Hand Force Bolt: Small Star-type Ball Levitate: Ball with Vertical Lines under it Reversal: Arrow that Curves Juggling Lights: Three Balls on the outside of a Circle Summon Staff: Staff Lightning Ball: Ball with Electricity Some spells need to be targeted. Once you select them, you'll see a crosshair. Click the crosshair on your target to cast it there. The seventh icon is the Active Item Icon. Click on it to use the Inventory Item you have recently selected. Click the item where you want to use it. The eighth icon is the Inventory Icon, which looks like a chest. Click on it to access the inventory window. There, you can use the eye to look at an item, the hand to take an item to use, the question mark to get info about the other icons, and the OK to close the window. The ninth icon is the Console Icon, which looks like a slider. Use it to bring up the menu to Save, Restore, Restart, or Quit your game, as well as adjust the speed, difficulty, and so on... The tenth icon is the Help icon, which looks like a question mark. Hover it over any other icon to get info about it. --- Jungle and Savanna Survival Let's start with SAVE OFTEN!!! You are a human, and as such, you'll need to eat, sleep, and keep from getting hurt too much. If you have food rations, you'll eat automatically, and you'll use any kinds of food as rations when you run out of those (fruit, meat, or fish). You can also get a full meal each day from the Welcome Inn for a Royal apiece. Sleeping is another concern. If you do not sleep for a couple of days, your stamina will drop much quicker. It's generally advisable to sleep every day, and to get a full night's rest, you need to sleep before midnight. Fortunately, sleeping is rather safe in the savanna. If you buy a Tinderbox and build a fire, you can sleep out in the wilderness and have a much smaller chance of being attacked. You can, of course, bed down wherever, but you have a greater chance of attack. To build a fire, you need to be on the main map, and click the Rest Icon. You'll be given the option to make a fire. Do so, and use the Tinderbox on it. After you wake up, be sure to put the fire out. If you don't want to build a fire, you can sleep very safely in these locations: the Welcome Inn in Tarna, the Pool of Peace, your hut in the Simbani Village, or the Heart of the World. Only the Heart of the World promises you full restoration (heck, just visiting it completely restores you), but you'll have at least half your Health and Mana and all of your Stamina restored at any other location. Staying alive in a combat sense is pivotal, of course. Pills to restore Health or Mana can be purchased at Salim's Apothecary. He also sells pills that can protect you from poison. Unfortunately, there is no pill to restore Stamina, but you can buy Waterskins and fill them up at the Pool of Peace. One skin with water will fully restore your Stamina. The biggest problem with pills is that they cost a mint in Tarna. Whereas in Shapeir you got 3 pills for an amount, in Tarna, they cost approximately the same for 1 pill... Quite the ripoff... --- Surviving Combat As you travel along the main map of Tarna, you may be thrust into a close up to do battle with a monster that could come from any side. It'll charge you and you can run up and attack it, or let it get close to you. If you want, you can throw rocks or daggers, or cast spells such as Zap, Flame Dart, Force Bolt, Lightning Ball, Calm, or Dazzle. You can also just run away, but you have to run pretty far to escape combat. Once you engage in combat, you'll enter a close up where you can select your means of attack from a small menu in the lower right corner of the screen. Top Left - Swing Top Right - Thrust Bottom Left - Dodge Bottom Right - Parry If you have magic, clicking on the center sword icon will bring up a second menu of spells. If not, clicking on it will let you run away from the battle. Magic Menu: Top Left - Lightning Ball Middle Left - Zap Bottom Left - Flame Dart Top Right - Dazzle Middle Right - Run Away Bottom Right - Force Bolt Once you drop an enemy, you may search it by clicking the Hand on it. Crocs, Leopardmen, and Apemen all have money, and you take the horn off the Running Death Dinosaur, but it's only useful for a Fighter. --- Surviving Financially The currency of Tarna is the golden royal and the copper common. There are 100 commons to a royal. Your first objective is to exchange your dinars from Shapeir for royals. You can do this at the Money Changer. Opportunities for more royals aren't very common, but a large cash flow isn't all that necessary, either... Renewable Resources: Crocs, Leopardmen, and Apemen all carry money, from 2-10 royals depending on where you are. That's the weird thing. Money doesn't matter what you fight, it matters where you fight. Fighting in the savanna will get you between 2 and 5 royals, and fighting in the jungle can get you between 4 and 10 royals. Non-Renewable Resources: There's a little bit of thieving to be done, where you can pick up some extra cash. It's not much, though... *********************************************************************** 4. The Kingdom of Tarna *CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS* Tarna is a rather large kingdom in East Fricana. The city itself is ancient, built centuries ago. As far as the Liontaurs are concerned, they have always lived and ruled here. Although the Liontaurs are in charge, many other people, mostly humans, live in the city in the western section. Many merchants sell their wares in the bazaar, and you can find more prominent establishments higher up in the tiers. --- A. Map and Points of Interest City of Tarna ---- | NB | ---- | | | UP | ---- ----| | | MB | MP |---- | | | MG | ---- ----| | | OB | ---- | | ---- | SB | | | ---- Savanna Jungle ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | | / | | T | SV | HW | / | | | | | MV?| | | VV HB? | | \ | | | | | | LC | | | PP | LV? | / | | | | | / | ------------------------------------------------------------------ Not as complex as Shapeir, is it? The top are the screens that make up the streets of Tarna, while the bottom are the four screens that make up the outside areas. (You move around as a tiny dot) City of Tarna: UP = Upper Plateau This is the highest point in the city. Here is where the ruling, and religious classes reside. King's Chambers: Although you can't enter of your own free will, you may be invited a couple of times. This is where the current King, Rajah Sah Tarna resides. Hall of Judgement: Another place you can't enter whenever, this is where the laws of Tarna are created, interpreted, and enforced. Six female Liontaurs hold the positions of judges. They are the Speaker, the Mother, the Youth, the Warrior, the Priestess, and the Wizard. Temple of Sekhmet: You can only enter here a couple of times. This is where the Liontuars worship Sekhmet, their ruling god. It's also an interesting place to get strange visions. You should visit at least once. MP = Middle Plateau This is where the prominent business establishments are in the city. Magic Shop: You can't really buy magic here, but this is where Rakeesh's wife, Kreesha, has her shop. The two are often found here, and they are valuable sources of information. Apothecary: Salim runs this groovy establishment. He's all jazzed about promoting good pills and potions. Healing Pill: 10 royals Mana Pill: 20 royals Poison Cure Pill: 20 royals Dispel Potion: 30 royals (must gather ingredients, may be free under certain circumstances) Welcome Inn: Your home away from home (at least in this adventure), the Welcome Inn offers travelers the promise of a comfortable bed and some of the finest indigenous meals. MG = Main Gate From here, you can leave Tarna. You can also speak to the two guards outside. --- The Bazaar In the bazaar of Tarna, you can buy most everything you need for your vacation here in lovely Eastern Fricana. All prices here are starting prices. Almost everything's negotiable. The only restriction is that items can only be bargained within their original price's currency. For example, if you want to buy something that costs 5 royals, the most you can haggle it down to is 1 royal (even then probably not). You couldn't insert commons into the equation. If something costs 200 commons, however, you can play around with it as much as you want. NB = North Bazaar There are three merchants here: Money Changer: He will change all your dinars to royals with a 10% fee. He can also change 100 commons to 1 royal. Leather Seller: A rather tough customer to bargain with... Waterskin: 200 commons Zebra Skin: 5 royals Fruit Seller: A standard customer to bargain with... Mixed Fruit: 50 commons MB = Middle Bazaar There are four (well, five if you count both Junk Dealers) merchants here: Weapon Seller: A standard customer to bargain with... Fine Dagger: 15 royals Fine Spear: 15 royals Throwing Dagger: 6 royals Junk Dealers: Fairly easy customers to bargain with... Tinderbox: 200 commons Blackbird (available only if you're a Thief): 40 commons Honey Seller: A standard customer to bargain with... Honey: 80 commons Oil Seller: A standard customer to bargain with... Olive Oil: 100 commons OB = Open Bazaar There are three merchants here: Fish Seller: A standard customer to bargain with... Dried Fish: 50 commons Bead Seller: Impossible to bargain with (particularly due to the language barrier). Beads: 95 commons Rope Seller: A standard customer to bargain with... Rope: 100 commons SB = South Bazaar There are three actual merchants, and a couple of other people here. Carving Seller: A standard customer to bargain with... Carving: 5 royals (may be free under certain circumstances) Meat Seller: A pushover. Can bargain down to 1 common... Dried Meat: 27 commons Amulet Seller: Garbage... You won't even bother... Cloth Seller: A somewhat tough customer to bargain with... Fine Robe: 10 royals Drummer: You can donate 10 commons to him. --- The Savanna and Jungle T = Tarna This is where Tarna exists on the map. VV = Venomous Vines This cluster of rocks contain, you guessed it, Venomous Vines. This is also a hangout spot for meerbats... HB? = Honey Bird You can sometimes find a Honey Bird on either the right edge of the first screen or the left edge of the second screen. More will be explained in the walkthrough once you find it. PP = Pool of Peace This is a place of safety. The water here is said to have magical properties. A place of safety like this could only have been created by the peaceful and benevolent Archmage Erana. SV = Simbani Village This is one of the villages of the nomadic Simbani, one of which Uhura is. This is a peaceful indigenous tribe that harvest cattle. They treat outsiders with respect and honor, and expect to be treated in kind. They are not a particularly warlike race, but they do take pride in their Warriors, who are also their hunters. There are several screens to the Simbani Village: Lookout Ridge: This is the entryway into the village. An Elder keeps watch at all hours. Main Campfire: This is the place where the Simbani meet collectively. Guest Hut: The leftmost hut is for guests (like you). Laibon Hut: The center hut is the Laibon's hut, leader of the Simbani. Audience can be sought from him, but not at all hours... Uhura's Hut: The rightmost hut. As a Warrior, Uhura has her own hut. She and Simba are there at night chat with. Spear Area: To the left of the campfire is the place to practice spear throwing, an art new to you, the Hero. Awari Rock and Cage: Past the Laibon's Hut is a rock with the game of skill, Awari, carved into it. Nearby is a cage designed to absorb all magic cast on it. This was made to hold Leopardman prisoners. Wrestling Bridge: This bridge is part of the Simbani Initiation. It is used to sharpen one's agility and reflexes. More will be explained later. HW = Heart of the World Out in the jungle is rumored to be a gigantic tree. The very center of this tree is said to be the Mother of all Gloriana (Earth). No, this wasn't created by Erana. This is a place of great magic as old as Gloriana itself. LV? = Leopardman Village The shapechanging Leopardman tribe live somewhere out in the jungle. No one is sure of their exact location. And no, you can't stumble onto it, for they hide the village with their magic. MV? = Monkey Village The monkeys of the jungle are rumored to have their own "tribe", as it were. Really, this is just a cluster of families. It has yet to be discovered. (Jagged Line) = Waterfall A great waterfall split this part of the world some time ago. None can cross. LC = Lost City There is said to be a great lost sister city to Tarna out in the jungle wilderness. None have found it yet. --- B. Characters The Hero - (human male from Willowsby) The newly adopted Prince of Shapeir and Hero of Spielburg. After a few months of enjoying the life as a Prince, you were itching for action again. You adopted a more standard costume. Black boots, green pants, a white undershirt, and a reddish-brown jacket. Although a well- renowned hero, you'll face new challenges of this land of many laws. Old Friends (and Foes) from Shapeir: Harun al-Rashid - (human male from Shapeir) The wise and just ruler of Shapeir adopted you as his son after your victory over Ad Avis. He will see you off to Tarna. Aziza - (human female from Shapeir) The Enchantress Aziza acts as part of a magical connector between Shapeir and the rest of the world. There is little that is hidden from her magic. Ad Avis - (human male from Raseir, deceased) One of the foulest of Wizards, Ad Avis attempted to summon the Djinni Iblis to do his bidding. You disrupted the ritual and sent Ad Avis to his doom. The expulsion of magical energy at the moment of his death was felt by all powerful wizards, so it's certain he is dead. Unfortunately, his body was never found.

Residents of Tarna: Rakeesh Sah Tarna - (Liontaur male from Tarna) Rakeesh was once the ruler of his people. When Demons invaded our dimension, he summoned the armies of Tarna to fight them. Many Liontaurs lost their lives in the process. During that time, a Demon Wizard poisoned Rakeesh's leg, which did not correctly heal. Rakeesh succeeded in driving the Demon Wizard back to his own dimension, but he felt he had not destroyed them fully. It was then that he abdicated his throne and left Tarna to pursue the life of a Paladin. Kreesha Mar Asha - (Liontaur female from Tarna) Rakeesh's wife and the most powerful user of magic in Tarna, Kreesha runs the Magic Shop.

She summoned Rakeesh home using her portal magics. Rajah Sah Tarna - (Liontaur male from Tarna) The current ruler of Tarna is most headstrong. He knows how to rule, but has misinterpretations about the true meaning of honor. He and his brother, Rakeesh, have many disagreements.

The Speaker is the one who is the most eloquent and decides who speaks when. Salim Nafs - (human male from Arabic lands) Salim is quite the character. The long and the short of it is that he's a hippie. He came to Tarna to study the pyramids. He runs the Apothecary in Tarna. Janna Jamil - (human female from Tarna) Janna runs the Welcome Inn. She's quite the looker, but talk is about as far as you get with her. She serves the guests in the Inn. Khatib Mukarram - (human male from Tarna) Khatib was once a diplomat. He was the leader of the peace mission to the Leopardmen, and he's also the only one who survived the vicious attack that was supposedly initiated by the Leopardmen. He's a broken man now...

They change from day to night. Simbani Village Residents Uhura - (human female from the Simbani lands) The only woman to ever become a Warrior, Uhura left her homeland because she also wanted to be a mother, and mothers could not be Warriors. She found a husband in Shapeir and had Simba. She travels back to the Simbani Village at the beginning of this adventure to return to her people Simba - (human male from the Simbani lands) Uhura's toddler son, Simba is starting to form words, and can walk, but is still not nearly old enough to hold a decent conversation. Elder Mngoje - (human male from the Simbani lands) The one who watches when the sun is in the sky, Mngoje is old and wise. Elder Usiku - (human male from the Simbani lands) The one who watches when the stars light the heavens, Usiku is also old and also wise.

Storyteller - (human male from the Simbani lands) This Elder is noted for his stories. As he explains, stories are both lies and truths. They have meanings and are meaningless. He gives questions, and it's up to the person he tells them to to find the answers... Inhabitants of the Wilderness Arne Saknoosen - (Aardvark male from the Savanna) Definitely one of the more unique characters you meet in your adventure, Arne is a miner from the lands of the aardvarks. He'll decide to chat with you if he sees your fire out in the savanna. He knows quite a bit about the wilderness. The Guardian Not much is known about this coruscating ball of light, but it protects the Heart of the World. Johari - (human female from Leopardman lands) The daughter of the chief of the Leopardmen, Johari knows much magic, as do all her people. She's not very fond of you when she first meets you, and you'll have to win her respect. Leopardman Chief - (human male from Leopardman lands) The Leopardman Chief wants his people to be left alone, but he feels the tribe has been violated with the loss of the Drum of Magic. Leopardman Shaman - (human male from Leopardman lands) One of the strongest users of magic in the tribe, the Shaman is your opponent should you decide to engage in a magical duel with the Leopardmen... Manu - (monkey male from the Jungle) Although he doesn't seem to be much help, if you choose to help Manu, he'll be more useful than you can imagine. Fric and Frac - (Demons from another Dimension) Two dumb Demons, Fric and Frac guard a door in the Lost City. Demon Wizard - (Demon from another Dimension) This is the Wizard that injured Rakessh's leg years ago. If Demons are indeed behind the strife in this land, it's probably he who is leading them. Demon Lord - (Demon from another Dimension) A being of incredible power that could rival that of Iblis, it would be very very very bad if the Lord were allowed into our realm. --- C. Monsters The difficulty of the monsters is rated from 1-10, with one being the easiest, and ten the hardest. Random Monsters The thing that separates Tarna from the first two games is that the monsters don't appear according to the time of day, but according to where you are in the wilderness. If you are in the Savanna (either screen), you can be attacked by Crocs, Giant Ants, or Dinosaurs. If you're in the first screen of the Jungle, you can be attacked by Crocs, Giant Ants, Flying Cobras, and Leopardmen. If you're in the last screen of the Jungle, you can be attacked by Apemen and Demon Worms. Croc - These reptilian humanoids are actually that way. They're not shapeshifters. They carry spears, and a bit of money. Difficulty: 2 Giant Ant - These guys make giant anthills. No, really. The attack with their pincers and the eject mucusy-type stuff from their abdomens. Fortunately, the mucus isn't poisonous. Difficulty: 3 Flying Cobra - The nasty cobra with wings. Apparently, God missed these guys in Genesis. They attack with fangs and the spit poisonous venom. If you get hit, you'll need to take a Poison Cure Pill. Difficulty: 4 Apeman - Whether these guys are apes evolving to men, or men devolving to apes, nobody really cares. They carry money, and big wooden clubs. Pretty decent fighters, though. Difficulty: 5 Leopardman - Although you're trying to prevent war between the Simbani and the Leopardmen, they don't harbor much good will towards you and will attack if they find you. They don't charge you to engage you, but they'll hang back and cast spells to soften you up. Once you get close, they'll attack with claws and some spells. Difficulty: 6 Dinosaur - Distant cousins of the Sauruses of other realms, these guys run really fast and attack with a serious bite, claw, and tail. Called the Running Death by the Simbani. Difficulty: 8 Demon Worm - These are from the Demons' dimension. They're pretty nasty, but not as much as the manual makes them out to be. They'll tunnel through the earth to attack, so you can't get any advance spells on them. Difficulty: 8 Unique Monsters: Demon - Nasty sorts, they is... They're not all that bright, but they're pretty strong. Difficulty: 7 Doppelganger - Late in the game, you'll face your Demon double. He can't be defeated, and you have to hold him off long enough to be able to move on. Difficulty: 11 Gargoyle - A being that was once stone. It would probably have stood a better chance if it remained that way. It's quite the pushover for such a late-game enemy. Difficulty: 4 --- D. Items All the items show up as cute little icons, but most are pretty obvious about what they are. There are some spoilers if you look up the item here, but not as many as if you looked at the Item Lists of the others. --- Combat Items Sword Found: Start Fighter Quest with one.

Fighter/Paladin Walkthrough Even though we've got the new Paladin quest, the two quests are almost exactly identical. The points are different. If something earns points for the Fighter, you'll see an (F#), and if it earns points for the Paladin, you'll see an (P#). If it earns for both, you'll just see the number in parentheses. You'll begin the quest in Aziza's house, getting a recap of last game's highlights. You'll also receive a message from Kreesha asking Rakeesh to return home. This is also a perfect time for Uhura to return home, and for you to see Tarna and see what help you can provide. You'll soon be at the Palace of the Sultan who'll wish you well on your journey. He'll give you a Magic Shield as a going-away present. The magic portal will be created and the three of you will go through. --- Welcome to Tarna You'll enter Kreesha's house. Uhura will leave to return to her village. Question both Rakeesh and Kreesha here. Once you're done, leave her house by walking off the top left area. There's an event that'll take place right now. You can do other things before that, but let's get to it right now to consolidate... Go west to the Bazaar, then north to the north edge. You'll see a disturbance at the Money Changer's. A man will start running away. Chase after him (8) and you'll find him caught by a Liontaur guard. You'll be taken to the Hall of Judgement, to hear the thief's sentence being carried out. He'll be declared honorless. You'll then be taken to the King's Chambers for an audience with Rajah. You have to act properly here or you'll be yelled at... Once you gain control, click the Mouth on yourself and "Greet". Next, "Answer Rajah". Next, "Defend Rakeesh" (P2). Next, "Talk about Rakeesh". Finally, "Say Goodbye". You'll be returned outside (P2). If you get kicked out, your Paladin won't get those two points. Now, you're all set and ready to explore Tarna for the next couple of days. --- The Shopping Spree (among other things) Okay, first thing to do is visit the Money Changer. He's that guy who had the problem with the thief on the north end of the bazaar. He'll ask you if you want to exchange money. Either Say Yes or click the Money Pouch on him to exchange your money (4). You don't need any fruit, but be sure to buy five Zebra Skins (2) and at least one, but preferably ten (3) waterskins from the Leather Seller. Head down a screen to the first bazaar screen. From the Weapon Merchant, buy a Fine Dagger (2) and a Fine Spear (2). Buy a jar of Honey (2) from the Honey Seller. Buy a Tinderbox (3) from the Junk Dealers. Head down another screen. Don't bother buying any fish. Buy some beads (2) from the Bead Merchant. Head down to the final screen of the bazaar. Talk to Shallah the Katta merchant and be sure to Tell about Shapeir (3). Give him the Note from Shema (5), and then try to buy the carving. For your note, he'll give it to you for free (2). Also, be sure to bargain the Meat Merchant down to 1 common, and buy a TON of meat, so that you'll not need to buy any more. Buy a Fine Robe (2) from the Clothing Merchant. Finally, give some coins (3) to the drummer. You're pretty much all set for the bazaar at this point. Now, go up to the middle plateau. Enter the Apothecary. Speak to Salim. Talk to him about all subjects. Asking him about Healing Pills will prompt a talk about a Honeybird Feather he needs to make more. Asking him about Dispel Potions, and he'll tell you about the three ingredients he needs: A Venomous Vine Fruit, a Gift from the Heart of the World, and Water from the Pool of Peace. Ask him about Plants, and then Tree, and he'll tell you a story that'll seem familiar if you've played QfG2. Now, you can Tell him about Julanar (10), and you'll have made his millenium. Go up the steps to the highest plateau. Enter the Temple of Sekhmet at the top. You'll be ejected, but you'll also be given the quest to find a Gem of the Guardian. Finally, go to the Welcome Inn. If you want to speak to Janna Jamil, sit down on a pillow. Be sure to read the bulletin board (3). Meals here are one royal apiece. Your room, however, is paid for by Kreesha. You can sleep a night in here, and store unneeded items in the chest. After this is all done, you can spend the next day doing whatever in Tarna. You can even leave the city, but you can't go very far. About sunset on Day 2, you'll go back to your room automatically. --- Journey to the Simbani The next morning, you and Rakeesh will speak about trying to bring peace between the Simbani and the Leopardmen. You are given the option of swearing your honor to fulfill this. There's no reason not to, so do so (P5). Soon afterwards, Rajah will want to see you. Once again, be nice. "Greet" him, then "Talk about Honor", then "Talk about Rakeesh", then "Say Goodbye". You and Rakeesh will then leave Tarna. You get (3) points for leaving Tarna for the first time. As you walk, Rakeesh will talk to you about stuff, and how your class can help in the cause. If you're a Paladin, he'll describe to you the abilities you can gain as you do more good deeds. For the sake of argument, we'll cover the points for those now... Flaming Sword (P2) Healing (P2) Sense Danger (P2) Honor Shield (P2) Soon, you'll pass into the next screen (3). Rakeesh will lead you into the village of the Simbani. You'll speak with the Elder Mngoje for a second, and then you'll head into the village and meet up with Uhura. She'll lead you into the hut of the Laibon. Although he's also a leader like Rajah, you can ask him about whatever. Just be sure to "Greet" first. "Ask about Spear" (2), and you'll learn about how the Spear of Death was stolen. You won't be able to do much here, and he'll soon ask you all to leave. You'll then go to Uhura's Hut, where you can speak about the events of the day. Be sure to ask her about the Spear, too (2). After a bit of talking, you'll have dinner, then you'll go to your guest hut to talk to Rakeesh. You can talk to him as long as you want, then "Say Goodbye" to go to sleep. The next morning, Rakeesh will head back to Tarna, and you'll be on your own. You can sleep in your Guest Hut whenever you want. There's also a chest here to store your unneeded belongings. If you go north from the Laibon's Hut, you'll find his son Yesufu, sitting near a game. Play some Awari with him (3). The rules are simple, but the game is tough to master and requires some planning and forethought. While you're playing, you can ask Yesufu stuff by clicking the Mouth on his portrait, and you can tell him stuff by clicking the Mouth anywhere else. After you play once, you can ask him more things. Play with him at least a couple of times each day. On the third day, you'll have the option to Tell about Friendship. Do so, and he'll be your friend (3). Go and visit the Laibon's Hut about three days after you arrive. Note the drum he's got. Ask him about the drum (2). Just don't do it again or he'll kick you out and you'll lose points. Be sure to Greet and say Goodbye every time, of course. Go left from the Laibon's Hut, and you'll find the Spear Throwing Area. Practice throwing spears. Soon, Uhura will come up to you and give you some pointers. If you leave and come back later, she may actually challenge you. See if you can beat her (3). This triggers a later event, however. Go right from the Laibon's Hut, and you'll find the Wrestling Bridge. Try to climb up it and Uhura will show up and talk to you about it. She'll explain the moves. Here's the main gist. Up = Jump. Down = Duck. Left = Dodge left. Right = Dodge Right. To be good on the bridge, you have to properly respond to your opponent's moves. If your opponent jumps, you duck, and vice versa. If your opponent dodges one way, you need to dodge to the other side. What this means, of course, is that if your opponent dodges to their left, you also dodge to your left. It seems complicated, but you'll get the hang of it. Later, Uhura can challenge you. Try and see if you can beat her (3). At some point in the future, you may want to go to the center of the village after sunset. You may find the Storyteller of the Simbani speaking to the people. Listen in (2). The next day, you can speak with him at the Awari Rock if you wish. That's all there is to do in the Simbani Village. --- Exploring the Wilderness In the savanna, you may find strange things if you wander around. Some things you should take note of. For instance, if you find a rhino (rare, but it happens) he'll charge. Simply walk out of the way to avoid becoming street pizza. Early on if you sleep the night out in the savanna (and build a fire), you may run into Arne Saknoosen, the earth pig. He knows much about the wilderness, and you should do well to listen to what he says, even if he does go on about purple giraffes. You may also find signs or traps out in the savanna, or you may run into the comedy team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Naturally, being a Fighter in the wilderness means killing all the monsters you can: Croc (F2) Giant Ant (F2) Dinosaur (F2) Flying Cobra (F2) Leopardman (F2) Apeman (F2) Demon Worm (F2) Do make sure you go to the Venomous Vines area. You'll find meerbats playing a bit of tag with the fruit on the vine. Leave and come back. You'll see a young meerbat make a grab at the fruit, but he'll get snagged. You have two options. You can throw a rock or dagger at the vines, or you can use your sword on them. The former is safer since you don't get poisoned from getting too close. Once you force the vines to recede, the young meerbat will return to his roost (8). The others will jump in their holes, but he'll stay and look at you. Leave and return once more, and he'll have arranged some stones around a gift, a Venomous Vine Fruit, and a Fire Opal. Take both and leave (8). Note: Now, the Point List I have (don't honestly know the true source, since it bounces around a lot of sites) has another action, called Knock over Fruit (5). This is something I've not been able to do. If anyone can figure it out, let me know. Wander somewhere around the east side of the first screen or the west side of the second screen of the savanna, and eventually, you'll run into a Honeybird. Follow it off to the right, and it'll roost on a tree surrounded by killer bees. Put some honey on the ground nearby, and leave. The location will be marked by a bee. Go back, and you'll see the bird in the honey. Get close, and it'll take off, but leave behind a feather. Grab it (8). Go to the Pool of Peace. This is a place of great safety. Fill any and all Waterskins you have with water from the pool (3). The Water will restore your Stamina completely whenever you drink it. Head right from the second Savanna screen to get to the Jungle (3). In the Jungle, go to the Heart of the World (that huge tree). It's not that hard to find your way up the tree. Just follow the paths. When you're on the mid-level trunk part, about halfway up, there's a small cave. Enter, and you'll see the Guardian of the Mother floating around. After several seconds, it will get close enough to speak with you. You can ask it things while you flash, and tell it things while you don't flash. Ask it about a Gift to find out how to get the Gift from the Heart of the World. Ask it about a Gem, and it'll drop several Gems on the ground. Take JUST ONE (5)! Leave the cave. Head up to the very top of the tree's path. You'll emerge into the very Heart of the World. It's very mystical and magical, etc. As the Guardian told you, pour Water from the Pool of Peace, and a fruit will appear on a branch. Snag it (5). One last thing to do in the Jungle at this point (besides fighting monsters, of course) is to head to the last screen of the Jungle (8). Walk around for a while, and you'll happen upon a monkey trapped in a cage. Free the little guy (8). Little Manu will be so happy. --- Return to Tarna Now would be a good time to head back to the city. There are a few things to take care of here. First, go to the Temple of Sekhmet. You'll bring the Gem of the Guardian to the Priestess (10). You'll enter a neato trance thingy where you'll be interrogated by the gods. You'll have to choose symbols to get questions asked. Fighters will want to choose the Sword or the Fist at least once, and the Paladin should choose the Heart. Choose some relatively nice answers. If you choose good answers, you'll be judged worthy to hear the prophecy (10). If you choose the proper symbol at least once, you'll be judged in harmony (5). That's just a nice little bonus. Go to the Apothecary. Give Salim the Honeybird Feather (3), the Fruit of the Venomous Vine (3), some Water from the Pool of Peace (3), and the Gift from the Heart of the World (3). Come back the next day, and buy his Dispel Potions. If you told him about Julanar, he'll give the two of them to you for free (6). Go to the Bazaar. Walk to the South End, then back up to the north end. Halfway, the thief you sentenced to being without honor will ask you for help. Agree to help (4). At night go down and talk to him. Keep coming back and talking to him. The third time, tell him about Rakeesh (8). You can also go to the Welcome Inn. Some night, the survivor of the peace mission to the Leopardmen will visit the Inn. You'll know because there'll be two empty pillows. Once you order a meal, he'll sit next to you. Talk to him about whatever, and especially the Peace Mission (7). --- The Makings of a Warrior Now that you have Dispel Potions, head back to the Simbani Village. If you've practiced spear throwing with Uhura, you'll see a Leopardman prisoner. You can talk to just about everyone else in the village about the prisoner. Naturally, to turn it back into a human shape, you'll need to use a Dispel Potion on it (15). Surprise! It's a Leopard Lady... People will start talking about her now. You may want to go back to Tarna now and tell Kreesha about the Dispelled Leopard Lady (2). You'll want to buy her as a wife. The Laibon will set a Bride Price for the Leopard Lady. The price is a Fine Robe, a Fine Spear, and five Zebra Skins. If you don't have those things, you may want to pick them up. Unfortunately, before you can "marry" her, you need to become a Simbani Warrior. Go out into the savanna, kill a Dinosaur, and take its horn (3). Go back to the village and give it to the Laibon (3). He'll set up the Warrior Initiation rites. It'll be you against Yesufu competing. You'll start by running off to the Twisted Tree. Yesufu will start by throwing spears to try to knock off the ring. You, however, should try a different approach. Grab a vine off the tree and you'll tie it to the spear. Throw the spear at the ring, and you'll win this event (5). Next, you'll run to the Circle of Thorns. Yesufu will start by stabbing the circle with a spear. You'll want to push the nearby log onto the circle. Run into the middle and you'll grab the ring and win this event (5). You'll run some more. You'll soon see Yesufu stuck in a trap. Help him, duh (8), and you'll run back to the village. Now, you'll enter the spear throwing contest. You'll trade off throwing spears, first at an unmoving target, then at a moving target. Use your best throwing skills, and you can beat him (5). Finally, you'll duel on the wrestling bridge. You know how to beat him, don't you? Duel properly, and you'll dump him off three times and win the event (5). With the contest over, the Laibon will name a winner. If Yesufu won, you'll get (5) points. If you won, you'll get (10) points. Now, you can revel in your Warrior-ship. Talk to everyone about it. Be sure to tell Uhura about Initiation (3). Definitely head to the Laibon's hut. Ask him about the drum and he'll hand it over to you to attempt peace with the Leopardmen. --- Of Leopards and Love Now that you're a Warrior, you can marry the Leopard Lady. Give him the bride price: the Fine Robe (3), the Fine Spear (3), and the five Zebra Skins (3). A happily married man, you can swagger up to your loving wife (yeah, right). Speak to Uhura, and ask her about Wife (2). She'll explain three gifts that you'll want to give her. Give the Leopard Lady the Beads (3), the Wooden Leopard (3), and the Fine Dagger (3). If you don't have all of these, go buy them from the Bazaar. Once you've given her all three, open her cage and she'll run off. Go out to the Jungle and wander around for a while. When you hear something nearby, call out (3). Johari the Leopard Lady will show up. You can talk to her if you want. This is good for getting the Leopardmen side of this whole story. Show her the Magic Drum (or Tell about Drum) and she'll take you to her village (8). If you wish, you can leave and she'll find you again twice more. The third time, you can Tell About Peace and she'll take you. Once you reach her village, she'll mention how dangerous her people are. Tell her about Romance. Then click the Hand on her and you'll finally get a little somethin' for the effort... (3) When it turns night, she'll lead you to watch the Change Ritual. Lady, I had a Djinni back in Shapier pop out of a ring, I've seen it all. After which, she'll take you to her father, the chief. Give him the Drum (or Tell about Drum) and you'll return it to them (20). In return, ask about Spear, and he'll give you the Simbani Spear of Death. You'll automatically return to the Simbani Village, where the Laibon will hold a little get together where you'll present him with the Spear of Death (20). Now, the Simbani and the Leopardmen will talk of peace. If you've acted honorably throughout the game (and aren't already a Paladin, duh), you will be taken to the home of Rakeesh and Kreesha, where Rakeesh will present you with his sword, Soulforge. Congratulations. Unfortunately, you won't have much of a chance to beef up your abilities, what with a soon-to-be lack of Honor-giving sources. And, boom, you're in Tarna in the Hall of Judgement, where you'll witness the Peace Conference (20). The Laibon will speak for a bit, then Rakeesh will get a bad feeling (so will you, if you're a Paladin). Suddenly, the Leopardman Chief will cast the Simbani Leader to the floor. His son, Yesufu, responds with a deadly spear to the chest. Rakeesh will tell you to quickly run out of Tarna and find the Demons before everyone marches to war. If you're still a Fighter, Yesufu will pass you the Spear of Death. He figures you may need it to fight Demons. --- The Call to War You are now barred from the City of Tarna and the Simbani Village. Kinda stinks, don't it? Head over to the Jungle, and you'll find your last remaining friend, Manu the monkey. He'll offer to take you to the Monkey Village. You don't really have much of a choice here. Ask him about Village, then click the Mouth on yourself and Agree (3). Manu will lead you all the way to the Village, which is out near the Lost City. Once you get there, keep asking him about Help and then the related topics. Eventually, you'll get to Swingline, which you'll use to climb up to the treetops (8). In the village, ask Manu about the Lost City and everything. Convince Manu and he'll take you there (3). Note: I need confirmation of points here. There's supposed to be (5) points for taking a Rope Bridge, but I always turned into a Paladin when I used the Fighter, so I can't confirm it... Once you get to the waterfall that blocks your way there, Manu's friends will hop across with their monkey agility. You'll need to find another way. If you didn't grab a vine from before, grab one now from the trees nearby. Tell Manu about Vine Rope and he'll tie it to the other end, allowing you to cross the falls (10). Manu will take you closer to the city. Suddenly, you'll be set upon by a Demon Worm. Defeat the Demon Worm with your mighty skills (3), and you'll move on to the Lost City. At the Lost City, you can talk to Manu about whatever you want. Make sure to ask about the Secret Entrance, but the only thing that'll get you going is Say Goodbye. You'll move to the next area near the secret entrance. You'll see an Apeman patrolling the area. You can fight him or just wait until he passes. Move up to the door. You'll get a close up. If you have the Fire Opal (and you darn well better have it!) put it in the eye, the door will open and you'll enter (8). You'll be in an antechamber now in the Lost City. You'll have passed the worst of your enemies, but there are still two Demons in this room. Walk up to them, and you'll fight one. Kick his blue butt (7) and you can force open the door behind him. Once you enter this room (3), you'll notice a Liontaur. Hey! It's Reeshaka, Rakeesh's daughter! Uh oh. She'll be possessed by a Demon. You can fight her/it, or you can just throw your remaining Dispel Potion on it. No more Demon (10). Suddenly, some magic will start sparkling in the far corner! What foul beast could it be? Oh, it's just your friends. Uhura, Yesufu, Johari, Harami and Rakeesh will all come through the portal to help. Uhura and Rakeesh will have to hold off the Demons approaching while you and the rest move on. Harami refuses to fight, but he's replaced when Manu shows up to help you out. You'll enter the final room before the tower (3). Each of the five of you will face off against an evil version of yourself. Fight your doppelganger to the best of your ability, but you won't be able to defeat it, or even barely harm it. When you get it (and yourself) down pretty low, Harami will show up and stab it in the back, letting you run up the stairs to the tower. In the tower, the Demon Wizard, the one who poisoned Rakeesh years ago, challenges you. He'll turn the gargoyle near him to life. Defeat the pitiful attempt at stopping you (3), and he'll attempt to summon his Demon Lord. Use your Shield to knock over the Gargoyle which has returned to stone. Cross over and the Wizard will cause the Gargoyle to grab your foot. Throw either the Spear of Death or your Paladin Sword at him (depending on your class). With the Demon Wizard incapacitated, use your Shield on the Gate Orb nearby to push it into the vortex (20). The Demon Wizard will be sucked in and destroyed (10), and you'll go back down the stairs to find your friends (25). Your friends congratulate you on a job well done. Johari accepts Yesufu's offer to marry her. Just as things are looking to settle down, dark magic engulfs you. You're yanked up into a teleportation spell. What will become of you? Find out in Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness... *********************************************************************** 6. Wizard Walkthrough All points added for deeds will be in parentheses. You'll begin the quest in Aziza's house, getting a recap of last game's highlights. You'll also receive a message from Kreesha asking Rakeesh to return home. This is also a perfect time for Uhura to return home, and for you to see Tarna and see what help you can provide. You'll soon be at the Palace of the Sultan who'll wish you well on your journey. He'll give you a Gift from Keapon Laffin as a going-away present. The magic portal will be created and the three of you will go through. --- Welcome to Tarna You'll enter Kreesha's house. Uhura will leave to return to her village. Question both Rakeesh and Kreesha here. Once you're done, leave her house by walking off the top left area. Might as well open the Gift right now, while you're here. Boom! Oh, that Keapon... Look at the Wrapping Paper, and you'll see runes written on it. You'll now have the ability to cast the Juggling Lights Spell (4). There's an event that'll take place right now. You can do other things before that, but let's get to it right now to consolidate... Go west to the Bazaar, then north to the north edge. You'll see a disturbance at the Money Changer's. A man will start running away. Chase after him (8) and you'll find him caught by a Liontaur guard. You also have the option of using your magic against him (7). Just don't miss (4). As you can see, these add less points than just chasing him, so you're better off doing that... You'll be taken to the Hall of Judgement, to hear the thief's sentence being carried out. He'll be declared honorless. You'll then be taken to the King's Chambers for an audience with Rajah. You have to act properly here or you'll be yelled at... Once you gain control, click the Mouth on yourself and "Greet". Next, "Answer Rajah". Next, "Defend Rakeesh". Next, "Talk about Rakeesh". Finally, "Say Goodbye". You'll be returned outside. Go to Kreesha's house. She'll be alone in the house, and now you can ask her about Spells. She'll tell you about making a Wizard's Staff. You'll need to get some Magic Wood before making a Staff. Now, you're all set and ready to explore Tarna for the next couple of days. --- The Shopping Spree (among other things) Okay, first thing to do is visit the Money Changer. He's that guy who had the problem with the thief on the north end of the bazaar. He'll ask you if you want to exchange money. Either Say Yes or click the Money Pouch on him to exchange your money (4). You don't need any fruit, but be sure to buy five Zebra Skins (2) and at least one, but preferably ten (3) waterskins from the Leather Seller. Head down a screen to the first bazaar screen. From the Weapon Merchant, buy a Fine Dagger (2) and a Fine Spear (2). Buy a jar of Honey (2) from the Honey Seller. Buy a Tinderbox (3) from the Junk Dealers. Head down another screen. Don't bother buying any fish or rope. Buy some Beads (2) from the Bead Merchant. Head down to the final screen of the bazaar. Talk to Shallah the Katta merchant and be sure to Tell about Shapeir (3). Give him the Note from Shema (5), and then try to buy the carving. For your note, he'll give it to you for free (2). Also, be sure to bargain the Meat Merchant down to 1 common, and buy a TON of meat, so that you'll not need to buy any more. Buy a Fine Robe (2) from the Clothing Merchant. Finally, give some coins (3) to the drummer. You're pretty much all set for the bazaar at this point. Now, go up to the middle plateau. Enter the Apothecary. Speak to Salim. Talk to him about all subjects. Asking him about Healing Pills will prompt a talk about a Honeybird Feather he needs to make more. Asking him about Dispel Potions, and he'll tell you about the three ingredients he needs: A Venomous Vine Fruit, a Gift from the Heart of the World, and Water from the Pool of Peace. Ask him about Plants, and then Tree, and he'll tell you a story that'll seem familiar if you've played QfG2. Now, you can Tell him about Julanar (10), and you'll have made his millenium. Go up the steps to the highest plateau. Enter the Temple of Sekhmet at the top. You'll be ejected, but you'll also be given the quest to find a Gem of the Guardian. Finally, go to the Welcome Inn. If you want to speak to Janna Jamil, sit down on a pillow. Be sure to read the bulletin board (3). Meals here are one royal apiece. Your room, however, is paid for by Kreesha. You can sleep a night in here, and store unneeded items in the chest. After this is all done, you can spend the next day doing whatever in Tarna. You can even leave the city, but you can't go very far. About sunset on Day 2, you'll go back to your room automatically. --- Journey to the Simbani The next morning, you and Rakeesh will speak about trying to bring peace between the Simbani and the Leopardmen. You are given the option of swearing your honor to fulfill this. There's no reason not to, so do so. Soon afterwards, Rajah will want to see you. Once again, be nice. "Greet" him, then "Talk about Honor", then "Talk about Rakeesh", then "Say Goodbye". You and Rakeesh will then leave Tarna. You get (3) points for leaving Tarna for the first time. As you walk, Rakeesh will talk to you about stuff, and how your class can help in the cause. Soon, you'll pass into the next screen (3). Rakeesh will lead you into the village of the Simbani. You'll speak with the Elder Mngoje for a second, and then you'll head into the village and meet up with Uhura. She'll lead you into the hut of the Laibon. Although he's also a leader like Rajah, you can ask him about whatever. Just be sure to "Greet" first. "Ask about Spear" (2), and you'll learn about how the Spear of Death was stolen. You won't be able to do much here, and he'll soon ask you all to leave. You'll then go to Uhura's Hut, where you can speak about the events of the day. Be sure to ask her about the Spear, too (2). After a bit of talking, you'll have dinner, then you'll go to your guest hut to talk to Rakeesh. You can talk to him as long as you want, then "Say Goodbye" to go to sleep. The next morning, Rakeesh will head back to Tarna, and you'll be on your own. You can sleep in your Guest Hut whenever you want. There's also a chest here to store your unneeded belongings. If you go north from the Laibon's Hut, you'll find his son Yesufu, sitting near a game. Play some Awari with him (3). The rules are simple, but the game is tough to master and requires some planning and forethought. While you're playing, you can ask Yesufu stuff by clicking the Mouth on his portrait, and you can tell him stuff by clicking the Mouth anywhere else. After you play once, you can ask him more things. Play with him at least a couple of times each day. On the third day, you'll have the option to Tell about Friendship. Do so, and he'll be your friend (3). Go and visit the Laibon's Hut about three days after you arrive. Note the drum he's got. Ask him about the drum (2). Just don't do it again or he'll kick you out and you'll lose points. Be sure to Greet and say Goodbye every time, of course. At some point in the future, you may want to go to the center of the village after sunset. You may find the Storyteller of the Simbani speaking to the people. Listen in (2). The next day, you can speak with him at the Awari Rock if you wish. That's all there is to do in the Simbani Village. --- Exploring the Wilderness In the savanna, you may find strange things if you wander around. Some things you should take note of. For instance, if you find a rhino (rare, but it happens) he'll charge. Simply walk out of the way to avoid becoming street pizza. Early on if you sleep the night out in the savanna (and build a fire), you may run into Arne Saknoosen, the earth pig. He knows much about the wilderness, and you should do well to listen to what he says, even if he does go on about purple giraffes. You may also find signs or traps out in the savanna, or you may run into the comedy team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Do make sure you go to the Venomous Vines area. Taking the fruit off the Venomous Vine is as easy as casting Fetch on the vine. Boom. You got a fruit (8). Wander somewhere around the east side of the first screen or the west side of the second screen of the savanna, and eventually, you'll run into a Honeybird. Follow it off to the right, and it'll roost on a tree surrounded by killer bees. Put some honey on the ground nearby, and leave. The location will be marked by a bee. Go back, and you'll see the bird in the honey. Get close, and it'll take off, but leave behind a feather. Grab it (8). Go to the Pool of Peace. This is a place of great safety. Fill any and all Waterskins you have with water from the pool (3). The Water will restore your Stamina completely whenever you drink it. Head right from the second Savanna screen to get to the Jungle (3). In the Jungle, go to the Heart of the World (that huge tree). It's not that hard to find your way up the tree. Just follow the paths. When you're on the mid-level trunk part, about halfway up, there's a small cave. Enter, and you'll see the Guardian of the Mother floating around. After several seconds, it will get close enough to speak with you. You can ask it things while you flash, and tell it things while you don't flash. Ask it about a Gift to find out how to get the Gift from the Heart of the World. Ask it about Wood, and it'll tell you to find a Blue Orchid in the Jungle, bathe it in the Pool of Peace by moonlight, and place it up top. Ask it about a Gem, and it'll drop several Gems on the ground. Take JUST ONE (5)! Leave the cave. Head up to the very top of the tree's path. You'll emerge into the very Heart of the World. It's very mystical and magical, etc. As the Guardian told you, pour Water from the Pool of Peace, and a fruit will appear on a branch. Snag it (5). Now, wander around the Jungle for a while. Eventually, you'll come upon a tree with blue orchids growing in its branches. Cast Fetch and you'll grab one (3). Go to the Pool of Peace at night and use the Orchid on it to make it glow (6) (must be some phosphates in there). Take the Orchid back to the Heart of the World and place it on the platform to get your Magic Wood (5). One last thing to do in the Jungle at this point (besides fighting monsters, of course) is to head to the last screen of the Jungle (8). Walk around for a while, and you'll happen upon a monkey trapped in a cage. Free the little guy (8). Little Manu will be so happy. --- Return to Tarna Now would be a good time to head back to the city. There are a few things to take care of here. First, go to the Temple of Sekhmet. You'll bring the Gem of the Guardian to the Priestess (10). You'll enter a neato trance thingy where you'll be interrogated by the gods. You'll have to choose symbols to get questions asked. As a Wizard, at least one of the symbols you choose should be the Pentagram. Choose some relatively nice answers. If you choose good answers, you'll be judged worthy to hear the prophecy (10). If you choose the proper symbol at least once, you'll be judged in harmony (5). That's just a nice little bonus. Go to the Apothecary. Give Salim the Honeybird Feather (3), the Fruit of the Venomous Vine (3), some Water from the Pool of Peace (3), and the Gift from the Heart of the World (3). Come back the next day, and buy his Dispel Potions. If you told him about Julanar, he'll give the three of them to you for free (6). Go to the Bazaar. Walk to the South End, then back up to the north end. Halfway, the thief you sentenced to being without honor will ask you for help. Agree to help (4). At night go down and talk to him. Keep coming back and talking to him. The third time, tell him about Rakeesh (8). You can also go to the Welcome Inn. Some night, the survivor of the peace mission to the Leopardmen will visit the Inn. You'll know because there'll be two empty pillows. Once you order a meal, he'll sit next to you. Talk to him about whatever, and especially the Peace Mission (7). Above all, make sure you return to Kreesha's house with the Magic Wood. She'll help you create your Wizard's Staff (10). Nice, eh? You'll now know the Summon Staff spell. While the Staff is active, you can cast any spell you want and you won't lose mana. The bad side is that if you walk around with the Staff, it'll disappear. With the creation of the Staff, you'll trigger a new event. --- Of Leopards and Love Now that you have Dispel Potions, head back to the Simbani Village. If you've created your Wizard's Staff , you'll see a Leopardman prisoner. You can talk to just about everyone else in the village about the prisoner. Naturally, to turn it back into a human shape, you'll need to use a Dispel Potion on it (15). Surprise! It's a Leopard Lady... People will start talking about her now. You may want to go back to Tarna now and tell Kreesha about the Dispelled Leopard Lady (2). You'll want to buy her as a wife. The Laibon will set a Bride Price for the Leopard Lady. The price is a Fine Robe, a Fine Spear, and five Zebra Skins. If you don't have those things, you may want to pick them up. Once you get those items, you can marry the Leopard Lady. Give him the bride price: the Fine Robe (3), the Fine Spear (3), and the five Zebra Skins (3). A happily married man, you can swagger up to your loving wife (yeah, right). Speak to Uhura, and ask her about Wife (2). She'll explain three gifts that you'll want to give her. Give the Leopard Lady the Beads (3), the Wooden Leopard (3), and the Fine Dagger (3). If you don't have all of these, go buy them from the Bazaar. Once you've given her all three, open her cage and she'll run off. Go out to the Jungle and wander around for a while. When you hear something nearby, call out (3). Johari the Leopard Lady will show up. You can talk to her if you want. This is good for getting the Leopardmen side of this whole story. You won't be able to do much, unfortunately. Walk around for a while and you'll run into her again. Be sure to ask her about Magic, and she'll give you the Lightning Ball Spell (4). The third time you mean with her, Tell about Peace, and she'll take you to her village (8). Once you reach her village, she'll mention how dangerous her people are. Tell her about Romance. Then click the Hand on her and you'll finally get a little somethin' for the effort... (3) When it turns night, she'll lead you to watch the Change Ritual. Lady, I had a Djinni back in Shapier pop out of a ring, I've seen it all. After which, she'll take you to her father, the chief. Tell about your Magical Skills and you'll request a Wizard's Duel with the Leopardman Shaman. All right. Time for some hot spellcasting action. The rules are that you must each take turns with spells and you cannot attack each other directly. First, Summon your Staff (4). Next, cast Reversal (4) to flip back the staff-burning spell he'll try. The Shaman will then cast a Wall of Flames around you. Cast Calm (4). Next, you'll be trapped in a Cage of Thorns. Cast Open on the cage (4). Then, he'll make everything dark. Cast Juggling Lights (4). Next, he'll create this weird black snake thing. Cast Dazzle to dispel the illusion (4). Then, he'll create a hole beneath you. Cast Levitate to rise out of it (4). Finally, the Shaman will get ticked, and he'll summon a demon within himself. All bets are off now. You can either kill him (5), or be nice and use a Dispel Potion on him (8). Either way, you'll win the Wizard's Duel (10). You'll now be respected by all the Leopardmen. Ask about Spear, and he'll give you the Simbani Spear of Death. You'll automatically return to the Simbani Village, where the Laibon will hold a little get together where you'll present him with the Spear of Death (20). He'll give you the Magic Drum in return. You'll return once more to the Leopardman Village with the Drum (20). Now, the Simbani and the Leopardmen will talk of peace. And, boom, you're in Tarna in the Hall of Judgement, where you'll witness the Peace Conference (20). The Laibon will speak for a bit, then Rakeesh will get a bad feeling. Suddenly, the Leopardman Chief will cast the Simbani Leader to the floor. His son, Yesufu, responds with a deadly spear to the chest. Rakeesh will tell you to quickly run out of Tarna and find the Demons before everyone marches to war. --- The Call to War You are now barred from the City of Tarna and the Simbani Village. Kinda stinks, don't it? Head over to the Jungle, and you'll find your last remaining friend, Manu the monkey. He'll offer to take you to the Monkey Village. You don't really have much of a choice here. Ask him about Village, then click the Mouth on yourself and Agree (3). Manu will lead you all the way to the Village, which is out near the Lost City. Once you get there, cast Levitate to reach up to the top branches (8). In the village, ask Manu about the Lost City and everything. Convince Manu and he'll take you there (3). Once you get to the waterfall that blocks your way there, Manu's friends will hop across with their monkey agility. You'll need to find another way. Grab a vine from the trees nearby. Click it on yourself to tie it on. Then, tell Manu about Levitate and he'll pull you across while you're in the air (10). Manu will take you closer to the city. Suddenly, you'll be set upon by a Demon Worm. Defeat the Demon Worm with your mighty skills, or just run, and you'll move on to the Lost City. At the Lost City, you can talk to Manu about whatever you want. Make sure to ask about the Secret Entrance, but the only thing that'll get you going is Say Goodbye. You'll move to the next area near the secret entrance. You'll see an Apeman patrolling the area. You can fight him or just wait until he passes. Move up to the jackal statue, and you'll see a gem in its eye. Either cast Fetch to grab it, or cast Levitate to float up to it. Once you have the gem (5), use it on the door. The door will open and you'll enter (8). You'll be in an antechamber now in the Lost City. You'll have passed the worst of your enemies, but there are still two Demons in this room. Cast Calm (6) to relax them, then move on by and cast Open (4) on the door. Once you enter this room (3), you'll notice a Liontaur. Hey! It's Reeshaka, Rakeesh's daughter! Uh oh. She'll be possessed by a Demon. You can fight her/it, or you can just throw your remaining Dispel Potion on it. No more Demon (10). Suddenly, some magic will start sparkling in the far corner! What foul beast could it be? Oh, it's just your friends. Uhura, Yesufu, Johari, Harami and Rakeesh will all come through the portal to help. Uhura and Rakeesh will have to hold off the Demons approaching while you and the rest move on. Harami refuses to fight, but he's replaced when Manu shows up to help you out. You'll enter the final room before the tower (3). Each of the five of you will face off against an evil version of yourself. Fight your doppelganger to the best of your ability, but you won't be able to defeat it, or even barely harm it. When you get it (and yourself) down pretty low, Harami will show up and stab it in the back, letting you run up the stairs to the tower. In the tower, the Demon Wizard, who poisoned Rakeesh so long ago, is speaking with his Demon Lord. Cast a spell at him to get his attention. Quickly cast Reversal, and his spells will reflect back. He'll try a fire spell. Please... Cast Calm to smother it. Next, he'll try to summon a Gargoyle. Quickly cast Trigger on it to turn it back to stone. He'll get fed up and try to summon his Lord. Summon your Staff and smack him with a powered-up attack spell. He'll get really ticked and will cast Fetch on your Staff. He's got it, now what do you do? Simple. Cast Trigger. BOOM! Get the satisfaction of destroying the Demon Wizard (10). Now, cast Force Bolt on the Gate Orb to knock it into the gate (20). The gate will close and you'll go back down the stairs to find your friends (25). Your friends congratulate you on a job well done. Johari accepts Yesufu's offer to marry her. Just as things are looking to settle down, dark magic engulfs you. You're yanked up into a teleportation spell. What will become of you? Find out in Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness... *********************************************************************** 7. Thief Walkthrough All points added for deeds will be in parentheses. You'll begin the quest in Aziza's house, getting a recap of last game's highlights. You'll also receive a message from Kreesha asking Rakeesh to return home. This is also a perfect time for Uhura to return home, and for you to see Tarna and see what help you can provide. You'll soon be at the Palace of the Sultan who'll wish you well on your journey. He'll give you a Magic Grapnel Hook as a going-away present. The magic portal will be created and the three of you will go through. --- Welcome to Tarna You'll enter Kreesha's house. Uhura will leave to return to her village. Question both Rakeesh and Kreesha here. Once you're done, leave her house by walking off the top left area. There's an event that'll take place right now. You can do other things before that, but let's get to it right now to consolidate... Go west to the Bazaar, then north to the north edge. You'll see a disturbance at the Money Changer's. A man will start running away. Chase after him (8) and you'll find him caught by a Liontaur guard. You also have the option of using throwing a Dagger at him, or knocking over the nearby bowl of fruit (5). As you can see, these add less points than just chasing him, so you're better off doing that... You'll be taken to the Hall of Judgement, to hear the thief's sentence being carried out. He'll be declared honorless. You'll then be taken to the King's Chambers for an audience with Rajah. You have to act properly here or you'll be yelled at... Once you gain control, click the Mouth on yourself and "Greet". Next, "Answer Rajah". Next, "Defend Rakeesh". Next, "Talk about Rakeesh". Finally, "Say Goodbye". You'll be returned outside. Now, you're all set and ready to explore Tarna for the next couple of days. --- The Shopping Spree (among other things) Okay, first thing to do is visit the Money Changer. He's that guy who had the problem with the thief on the north end of the bazaar. He'll ask you if you want to exchange money. Either Say Yes or click the Money Pouch on him to exchange your money (4). You may want to buy some Fruit from the Fruit Seller, and be sure to buy five Zebra Skins (2) and at least one, but preferably ten (3) waterskins from the Leather Seller. Head down a screen to the first bazaar screen. From the Weapon Merchant, buy a Fine Dagger (2) and a Fine Spear (2). Buy a jar of Honey (2) from the Honey Seller. Buy a Tinderbox (3), and the Blackbird (5) from the Junk Dealers. Buy a flask of Oil from the Oil Seller (5). Head down another screen. Don't bother buying any fish. Buy some Beads (2) from the Bead Merchant. Buy some Rope (8) from the Rope Seller. Click the Grapnel on the Rope in the Inventory screen to combine them. Also, it may be a good idea to make the Thief Sign to the Rope Seller. Ask him about Acrobatics, then click the Mouth on yourself and select Train, and you'll pay 50 royals for the acrobatics training. This is an automatic boost in your Agility by 30 points. Head down to the final screen of the bazaar. Talk to Shallah the Katta merchant and be sure to Tell about Shapeir (3). Give him the Note from Shema (5), and then try to buy the carving. For your note, he'll give it to you for free (2). Also, be sure to bargain the Meat Merchant down to 1 common, and buy a TON of meat, so that you'll not need to buy any more. Buy a Fine Robe (2) from the Clothing Merchant. Finally, give some coins (3) to the drummer. You're pretty much all set for the bazaar at this point. Now, go up to the middle plateau. Enter the Apothecary. Speak to Salim. Talk to him about all subjects. Asking him about Healing Pills will prompt a talk about a Honeybird Feather he needs to make more. Asking him about Dispel Potions, and he'll tell you about the three ingredients he needs: A Venomous Vine Fruit, a Gift from the Heart of the World, and Water from the Pool of Peace. Ask him about Plants, and then Tree, and he'll tell you a story that'll seem familiar if you've played QfG2. Now, you can Tell him about Julanar (10), and you'll have made his millenium. Go up the steps to the highest plateau. Enter the Temple of Sekhmet at the top. You'll be ejected, but you'll also be given the quest to find a Gem of the Guardian. Finally, go to the Welcome Inn. If you want to speak to Janna Jamil, sit down on a pillow. Be sure to read the bulletin board (3). Meals here are one royal apiece. Your room, however, is paid for by Kreesha. You can sleep a night in here, and store unneeded items in the chest. After this is all done, you can spend the next day doing whatever in Tarna. You can even leave the city, but you can't go very far. About sunset on Day 2, you'll go back to your room automatically. --- Journey to the Simbani The next morning, you and Rakeesh will speak about trying to bring peace between the Simbani and the Leopardmen. You are given the option of swearing your honor to fulfill this. There's no reason not to, so do so. Soon afterwards, Rajah will want to see you. Once again, be nice. "Greet" him, then "Talk about Honor", then "Talk about Rakeesh", then "Say Goodbye". You and Rakeesh will then leave Tarna. You get (3) points for leaving Tarna for the first time. As you walk, Rakeesh will talk to you about stuff, and how your class can help in the cause. Soon, you'll pass into the next screen (3). Rakeesh will lead you into the village of the Simbani. You'll speak with the Elder Mngoje for a second, and then you'll head into the village and meet up with Uhura. She'll lead you into the hut of the Laibon. Although he's also a leader like Rajah, you can ask him about whatever. Just be sure to "Greet" first. "Ask about Spear" (2), and you'll learn about how the Spear of Death was stolen. You won't be able to do much here, and he'll soon ask you all to leave. You'll then go to Uhura's Hut, where you can speak about the events of the day. Be sure to ask her about the Spear, too (2). After a bit of talking, you'll have dinner, then you'll go to your guest hut to talk to Rakeesh. You can talk to him as long as you want, then "Say Goodbye" to go to sleep. The next morning, Rakeesh will head back to Tarna, and you'll be on your own. You can sleep in your Guest Hut whenever you want. There's also a chest here to store your unneeded belongings. If you go north from the Laibon's Hut, you'll find his son Yesufu, sitting near a game. Play some Awari with him (3). The rules are simple, but the game is tough to master and requires some planning and forethought. While you're playing, you can ask Yesufu stuff by clicking the Mouth on his portrait, and you can tell him stuff by clicking the Mouth anywhere else. After you play once, you can ask him more things. Play with him at least a couple of times each day. On the third day, you'll have the option to Tell about Friendship. Do so, and he'll be your friend (3). Go and visit the Laibon's Hut about three days after you arrive. Note the drum he's got. Ask him about the drum (2). Just don't do it again or he'll kick you out and you'll lose points. Be sure to Greet and say Goodbye every time, of course. At some point in the future, you may want to go to the center of the village after sunset. You may find the Storyteller of the Simbani speaking to the people. Listen in (2). The next day, you can speak with him at the Awari Rock if you wish. That's all there is to do in the Simbani Village. --- Exploring the Wilderness In the savanna, you may find strange things if you wander around. Some things you should take note of. For instance, if you find a rhino (rare, but it happens) he'll charge. Simply walk out of the way to avoid becoming street pizza. Early on if you sleep the night out in the savanna (and build a fire), you may run into Arne Saknoosen, the earth pig. He knows much about the wilderness, and you should do well to listen to what he says, even if he does go on about purple giraffes. You may also find signs or traps out in the savanna, or you may run into the comedy team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Do make sure you go to the Venomous Vines area. Taking the fruit off the Venomous Vine is as easy as tossing your Rope and Grapnel on it. Boom. You got a fruit (8). Wander somewhere around the east side of the first screen or the west side of the second screen of the savanna, and eventually, you'll run into a Honeybird. Follow it off to the right, and it'll roost on a tree surrounded by killer bees. Put some honey on the ground nearby, and leave. The location will be marked by a bee. Go back, and you'll see the bird in the honey. Get close, and it'll take off, but leave behind a feather. Grab it (8). Go to the Pool of Peace. This is a place of great safety. Fill any and all Waterskins you have with water from the pool (3). The Water will restore your Stamina completely whenever you drink it. Head right from the second Savanna screen to get to the Jungle (3). In the Jungle, go to the Heart of the World (that huge tree). It's not that hard to find your way up the tree. Just follow the paths. When you're on the mid-level trunk part, about halfway up, there's a small cave. Enter, and you'll see the Guardian of the Mother floating around. After several seconds, it will get close enough to speak with you. You can ask it things while you flash, and tell it things while you don't flash. Ask it about a Gift to find out how to get the Gift from the Heart of the World. Ask it about a Gem, and it'll drop several Gems on the ground. Take JUST ONE (5)! Leave the cave. Head up to the very top of the tree's path. You'll emerge into the very Heart of the World. It's very mystical and magical, etc. As the Guardian told you, pour Water from the Pool of Peace, and a fruit will appear on a branch. Snag it (5). One last thing to do in the Jungle at this point (besides fighting monsters, of course) is to head to the last screen of the Jungle (8). Walk around for a while, and you'll happen upon a monkey trapped in a cage. Free the little guy (8). Little Manu will be so happy. --- Return to Tarna Now would be a good time to head back to the city. There are a few things to take care of here. First, go to the Temple of Sekhmet. You'll bring the Gem of the Guardian to the Priestess (10). You'll enter a neato trance thingy where you'll be interrogated by the gods. You'll have to choose symbols to get questions asked. As a Thief, at least one of the symbols you choose should be the Key. Choose some relatively nice answers. If you choose good answers, you'll be judged worthy to hear the prophecy (10). If you choose the proper symbol at least once, you'll be judged in harmony (5). That's just a nice little bonus. Go to the Apothecary. Give Salim the Honeybird Feather (3), the Fruit of the Venomous Vine (3), some Water from the Pool of Peace (3), and the Gift from the Heart of the World (3). Come back the next day, and buy his Dispel Potions. If you told him about Julanar, he'll give the three of them to you for free (6). Go to the Bazaar. Walk to the South End, then back up to the north end. Halfway, the thief you sentenced to being without honor will ask you for help. Agree to help (4). At night go down and talk to him. Be sure to give him the Thief Sign (8). Keep coming back and talking to him. The third time, tell him about Rakeesh (8). You can also go to the Welcome Inn. Some night, the survivor of the peace mission to the Leopardmen will visit the Inn. You'll know because there'll be two empty pillows. Once you order a meal, he'll sit next to you. Talk to him about whatever, and especially the Peace Mission (7). --- Of Leopards and Love Now that you have Dispel Potions, head back to the Simbani Village. If you've travelled all the way to the Waterfall screen, you'll see a Leopardman prisoner. You can talk to just about everyone else in the village about the prisoner. Naturally, to turn it back into a human shape, you'll need to use a Dispel Potion on it (15). Surprise! It's a Leopard Lady... People will start talking about her now. You may want to go back to Tarna now and tell Kreesha about the Dispelled Leopard Lady (2). You'll want to buy her as a wife. The Laibon will set a Bride Price for the Leopard Lady. The price is a Fine Robe, a Fine Spear, and five Zebra Skins. If you don't have those things, you may want to pick them up. Once you get those items, you can marry the Leopard Lady. Give him the bride price: the Fine Robe (3), the Fine Spear (3), and the five Zebra Skins (3). A happily married man, you can swagger up to your loving wife (yeah, right). Speak to Uhura, and ask her about Wife (2). She'll explain three gifts that you'll want to give her. Give the Leopard Lady the Beads (3), the Wooden Leopard (3), and the Fine Dagger (3). If you don't have all of these, go buy them from the Bazaar. Once you've given her all three, open her cage and she'll run off. Now would be a good time to get the Magic Drum from the Laibon. You will, of course, be using your own unique skills to do so. At night, use the Eye on the Laibon's hut and you'll check it all around. You'll find a crack. Make sure you're sneaking. Use your Fine Dagger on the crack to open it and you'll enter the hut (8). Go right ahead and grab the Magic Drum (8). If you're adventurous, you can also try that chest near the Laibon's bed. Be sure to oil it first, then use your Tool Kit on it. No points, but you get some cash and other items. Go out to the Jungle and wander around for a while. When you hear something nearby, call out (3). Johari the Leopard Lady will show up. You can talk to her if you want. This is good for getting the Leopardmen side of this whole story. Show her the Magic Drum (or Tell about Drum) and she'll take you to her village (8). If you wish, you can leave and she'll find you again twice more. The third time, you can Tell About Peace and she'll take you. Once you reach her village, she'll mention how dangerous her people are. Tell her about Romance. Then click the Hand on her and you'll finally get a little somethin' for the effort... (3) When it turns night, she'll lead you to watch the Change Ritual. Lady, I had a Djinni back in Shapier pop out of a ring, I've seen it all. After which, you'll sneak around to her father's hut. This is a bit more dangerous than the Laibon's Hut, unfortunately. First thing to do is use your Rope and Grapnel to extend the rope out towards the hut (5). The Leopardman Chief has a pet panther down on the ground there. Toss him some Meat to quiet him (5). If you don't, you'll have to play around with some fancy jumping and ducking to avoid his savage leaps. Make your way across the tightrope (8) and you'll enter the Chief's Hut. Make sure you're sneaking once you're inside. If you bought some fruit (like I told you to) from the Fruit Seller, give it to the monkey (5), then free him (5), if you don't want his screeches to wake up the Chief. Grab the Spear of Death from the nearby wall (10). You can also go for the nearby chest. Be sure to oil it before you unlock it, though. Once you've done all the stealing, head outside and back along the rope. Johari will take you to her father in a more formal introduction. Give him the Drum of Magic (20). You'll automatically return to the Simbani Village, where the Laibon will hold a little get together where you'll present him with the Spear of Death (20). Now, the Simbani and the Leopardmen will talk of peace. And, boom, you're in Tarna in the Hall of Judgement, where you'll witness the Peace Conference (20). The Laibon will speak for a bit, then Rakeesh will get a bad feeling. Suddenly, the Leopardman Chief will cast the Simbani Leader to the floor. His son, Yesufu, responds with a deadly spear to the chest. Rakeesh will tell you to quickly run out of Tarna and find the Demons before everyone marches to war. --- The Call to War You are now barred from the City of Tarna and the Simbani Village. Kinda stinks, don't it? Head over to the Jungle, and you'll find your last remaining friend, Manu the monkey. He'll offer to take you to the Monkey Village. You don't really have much of a choice here. Ask him about Village, then click the Mouth on yourself and Agree (3). Manu will lead you all the way to the Village, which is out near the Lost City. Once you get there, toss your Rope and Grapnel to reach up to the top branches (8). In the village, ask Manu about the Lost City and everything. Convince Manu and he'll take you there (3). Once you get to the waterfall that blocks your way there, Manu's friends will hop across with their monkey agility. You'll need to find another way. Toss your Rope and Grapnel to the other side, and you'll use your fancy tightrope walking skills to get across (10). Manu will take you closer to the city. Suddenly, you'll be set upon by a Demon Worm. Defeat the Demon Worm with your mighty skills, or just run, and you'll move on to the Lost City. At the Lost City, you can talk to Manu about whatever you want. Make sure to ask about the Secret Entrance, but the only thing that'll get you going is Say Goodbye. You'll move to the next area near the secret entrance. You'll see an Apeman patrolling the area. You can fight him or just wait until he passes. Move up to the jackal statue, and you'll see a gem in its eye. Toss your Rope and Grapnel to climb up and take the eye. Once you have the gem (5), use it on the door. The door will open and you'll enter (8). You'll be in an antechamber now in the Lost City. You'll have passed the worst of your enemies, but there are still two Demons in this room. Sneak past them. Oil the door on the far wall (5), and use your Tool Kit to open the ancient door (5). Once you enter this room (3), you'll notice a Liontaur. Hey! It's Reeshaka, Rakeesh's daughter! Uh oh. She'll be possessed by a Demon. You can fight her/it, or you can just throw your remaining Dispel Potion on it. No more Demon (10). Suddenly, some magic will start sparkling in the far corner! What foul beast could it be? Oh, it's just your friends. Uhura, Yesufu, Johari, Harami and Rakeesh will all come through the portal to help. Uhura and Rakeesh will have to hold off the Demons approaching while you and the rest move on. Harami refuses to fight, but he's replaced when Manu shows up to help you out. You'll enter the final room before the tower (3). Each of the five of you will face off against an evil version of yourself. Fight your doppelganger to the best of your ability, but you won't be able to defeat it, or even barely harm it. When you get it (and yourself) down pretty low, Harami will show up and stab it in the back, letting you run up the stairs to the tower. In the tower, the Demon Wizard, who poisoned Rakeesh so long ago, is speaking with his Demon Lord. Quietly sneak over to the back pillar and climb up it. Toss your Grapnel on the pillar across the split in the floor and the Wizard will notice you. He'll create fire along the bottom of the pillar. Use your grapnel on the pillar on the right side of the screen. The Wizard will set your rope on fire, but you can cross and jump to the far pillar. Toss your grapnel one more time at the Wizard and you'll get him good (10). He'll stagger back and knock the Gate Orb into the World Gate (20). The gate will close and you'll go back down the stairs to find your friends (25). Your friends congratulate you on a job well done. Johari accepts Yesufu's offer to marry her. Just as things are looking to settle down, dark magic engulfs you. You're yanked up into a teleportation spell. What will become of you? Find out in Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness... *********************************************************************** 8. The Whole Story and Epilogue Several years ago, Demons invaded the land of Tarna. The current king, Rakeesh Sah Tarna, brought the armies of Tarna to fight against these foul beings. Many a Liontaur and Demon died in that war. Rakeesh's leg was poisoned by the Demon Wizard, and it didn't properly heal. He thought he banished the Wizard back into its portal, but he could never be sure that he banished them all completely. To try to ensure that Demons would never set foot on this world, Rakeesh abdicated his throne, giving it to his brother, to walk the life of a Paladin. In fact, he hadn't banished them. At the time of the death of Ad Avis, there was a terrific surge of magical energy. The Demon Wizard used the enrgy from this death to return to East Fricana, in the old ruins of the Lost City. He spent that time building up his power and summoning minions. His main goal was summoning his Demon Lord, which he could do with the energy released from many deaths. The best way to do this was through war. Using his minions, he stole the Spear of Death from the Simbani and the Drum of Magic from the Leopardmen, and fixed it so that each tribe would receive the other's most sacred object, so that they would blame each other. Animosity stirred due to the opposite natures of the two tribes, one in the day with their fighting abilities, and the other in the night with its magic. The Simbani requested aid from their allies in Tarna. Tarna agreed to send a Peace Mission to ascertain the Leopardmen's intentions. At night, the Peace Mission was attacked, with only one survivor. With that, King Rajah Sah Tarna was ready to go to war, but the Council of Judgement decides to hold off. Kreesha summons her husband, Rakeesh, now in Shapeir. He brings with him the Simbani Warrior, Uhura, and you, the newly adopted Prince of Shapeir. Rakeesh attempts to stave off the thought of war in Tarna, and Uhura in the Simbani Village is doing the same, which leaves you to ascertain what's going on exactly. You found each of the tribes' artifacts and returned them. Unfortunately, during the following Peace Conference, both leaders of the tribes were killed when the Demon Wizard possessed the Leopardman Chief. You traced the Demons to the Lost City, where you defeated the Wizard and closed the World Gate that brought them here. Soon afterwards, you were snatched away by dark magic. Although neither Kreesha nor any of your other friends had the power to summon you back, or to even know where you were, they knew you were alive, and went on with their lives. Yesufu and Johari married. Although it would take time, the two tribes would be united with that marraige. But what of you? Where will your summoning lead you? These questions and more will be answered in Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness *********************************************************************** 9. Miscellany --- A. FAQ Q: How do I become a Paladin? A: Unlike QfG2, where any character class could become a Paladin, in QfG3: Wages of War, only the Fighter has this opportunity. The Do's and Don't's of becoming a Paladin for your Fighter are: - Earning at least 100 points of Honor. - Returning the Magic Drum and the Spear of Death to their rightful owners. - Helping Yesufu in the Initiation race when his foot is caught in the trap. - Freeing Manu the monkey from the jungle trap. - Doing other good deeds like offering food and money to the honorless Thief, defending Rakeesh in front of Rajah, choosing wisely during the Sekhmet Judgement. - You must not have screwed up anywhere else, such as stealing from anyone (including the Drummer). If you fulfill these criteria, you are sent back to Tarna to Kreesha's house following the Spear Ceremony, before the Peace Conference. There, Rakeesh will proclaim you a Paladin and give you his sword, Soulforge. Q: Where can I find this game? A: Nowadays, this game can probably only be found as a part of the Quest for Glory Anthology. You can order it from Sierra, or maybe get lucky and find it in a game store. Q: My game crashed! What happened? A: Well, sometimes you may get kicked after leaving combat. Happens sometimes. Another place that happens is in the Initiation, while Yesufu tosses spears at the ring. These happenings are random, and can be passed by trying it again. Q: Why is there a waffle chasing me? A: That's the Awful Waffle Walker, of course. You find it when you're getting really hungry and out of rations. It'll chase you until you eat it. You can also roast it with a Flame Dart. Oh, it's true. Q: What's with the Blackbird? A: This is an item purported to be of great wealth. There were many fakes made of it. Whoever finds the real Blackbird is said to be holding a Sultan's ransom. --- B. Point List All points are grouped in columns. The first column is for the Fighter, the second for the Wizard, the third for the Thief, and the fourth for the Paladin.

Ways to Die Yes, my FAQ will be different, I said! Not only will I include all the usual crud, I'll also add stuff that'll kill ya! Y'know, stuff that you should probably avoid. Some are actually worth doing for laughs. Yup. I've marked funny ones with an asterisk (*). Anywhere: Exhaust yourself Starve yourself Die from poisoning Perform an action that hurts a bit repeatedly until you die Tarna: Smoke Salim's water pipe three times (light with Tinderbox)* Battles: Lose to a Croc Lose to a Giant Ant Lose to a Dinosaur Lose to a Flying Cobra Lose to a Leopardman Lose to an Apeman Lose to a Demon Worm Savanna: Leave a fire burning in the Savanna* ^_^ Get caught for too long by the Venomous Vines Get run down by a charging rhino* Wake up the Laibon while trying to steal the Drum of Magic Jungle: Take more than one Gem from the Guardian Wake up the Leopardman Chief while trying to steal the Spear of Death Lose combat against the possessed Shaman Lost City: Lose combat to a Demon Lose combat to the Gargoyle Take too long in finishing off the Demon Wizard (the Demon Lord is summoned and he casts Thermonuclear Blast) --- D. Conversation Trees Everyone you speak to has a set list (or tree) of things you can ask them. I call it a tree, because when you ask certain things, new topics may pop up. I won't go into what every tree entails, but I will embellish on when certain trees pop up. Rakeesh Beginning of the Game Before seeing Harami The day after seeing Harami (He's with Rajah for the rest of the day you see Harami) In Uhura's Hut after you arrive at the Simbani Village In the Guest Hut after you arrive at the Simbani Village Your first visit back to Tarna Your next visit back to Tarna Kreesha Beginning of the Game Before seeing Harami After seeing Harami on the same day The day after seeing Harami Your first visit back to Tarna Your next visit back to Tarna Salim First visit Second visit First visit after Simbani Village Next visit after Simbani Village Janna Jamil First visit Second visit First visit after Simbani Village When Khatib visits After Khatib visits The day Khatib dies After Khatib dies Junk Dealers, Weapon Seller, Oil Seller, Honey Seller, Money Changer, Leather Seller, Fruit Seller, Fish Seller, Bead Seller, Rope Seller, Shallah, Meat Seller, Amulet Seller, Cloth Seller First visit First visit after Simbani Village Any Liontaur Guards Only one tree for each one Harami When he comes up to you in the bazaar First visit at night Second visit at night Third visit at night Arne Saknoosen Only one tree Uhura Visit to the Simbani Village (with Rakeesh) First visit after reaching Simbani Village Second visit after reaching Simbani Village Wrestling Bridge Area Second visit to Bridge Area Spear Throwing Area Second visit to Spear Throwing Area After dispelling Johari After Initiation (Fighter/Paladin) After marrying Johari (at cage) After marrying Johari (at hut) After stealing Drum of Magic (Thief) Laibon First visit (with Rakeesh) Second visit (about three days after reaching Simbani Village) After prisoner is caught After prisoner is dispelled After Initiation (Fighter/Paladin) Yesufu First visit to Awari Rock Second visit to Awari Rock Third visit to Awari Rock After prisoner is caught After prisoner is dispelled Mngoje, Usiku First visit After prisoner is caught After prisoner is dispelled After Initiation (Fighter/Paladin) Storyteller After hearing the story Guardian One tree only Manu After freeing him After meeting him in the jungle Outside the Monkey Village In the Monkey Village At the Waterfall At the Lost City *********************************************************************** 10. Standard Guide Stuff --- A. Legal This FAQ was made 100% by me, Scott "CyricZ" Zdankiewicz. You may not take it in whole or in part and claim it as your own. You may not alter it in any way, even if you ask me first, and that includes putting it in HTML format. Please don’t post this on your site unless you have express consent by me. I’ve put a lot of time into this. Give me some credit... Currently, the following sites have permission to post my FAQ: www.gamefaqs.com www.gamewinners.com --- B. E-mail Guidelines If you wish to e-mail me, be sure to follow these guidelines... - Make ABSOLUTELY sure I haven't already answered your question in the guide. - Make sure it has something to do with Quest for Glory for God's sake. I don't want spam, chain letters, offers for friendship. Compliment me on the FAQ all you want, though... - Make sure you say Quest for Glory at one point in your e-mail. I have more than one FAQ, and asking a generic question such as "How do I save?" doesn't tell me much. - Spell correctly and use proper grammar, please. If I can't understand your e-mail, it'll go to the junk pile... --- C. Credits CJayC and Al Amaloo for having this on their sites. Sierra, particularly Lori Ann and Corey Cole, for making such an incredible series. --- D. Version Updates Version 1.0 - 8/5/01 - Well, there you have it. I don't really intend to do another version, unless something else comes up. --- E. The Final Word The third in this series isn't my favorite... It's pretty short, and there's not a lot for the individual classes to do, unless you're a Fighter or Paladin. It's still okay, though... Be sure to check out my other guides for the Quest for Glory games, too! I love this series! Did I mention that?
