Silmaria City

General

You start up on Nob Hill. Go left past the arena and houses, and enter the Hall of Kings. Talk to Logos and Rakeesh, then go back outside. Head down the stairs to the left to find the Town Square. Walk around town and talk to everyone you can find. When it is evening (after 5pm), go to the Dead Parrot Inn and talk to everyone here. Play the Wheel of Fortune game to win some money. Head to the Gnome Inn before midnight. Talk to Ann and get your key, then go upstairs to your room and sleep until morning. The next morning, visit Rakeesh outside the arena.

• If you are a paladin, he will give you back your Katta pin. He will also tell you about the Ring of Truth. Visit Logos in the Hall of Kings and you will receive the Ring of Justinian as a start.

Go to the Adventurers' Guild and sign the logbook. Read the messageboard while you are here. Now visit the Apothecary and buy a few healing pills and a few poison cure pills. Go to the Magic Shop and buy the mystic magnets.

• If you are a wizard, also buy some mana potions and pills. At some point you should buy the RIP, Fascinationa nd Boom spells. Shakra will also mention getting a new wizard's staff, but you will need to find the wood.

Back outside, buy a map and at least 3 amphorae from Wolfie. Go to the bank and withdraw all your money. Go to the Famous Adventurers' Correspondence School (FACS) and look at the swimming books, then ask the FA to autograph one for you. Read it in your inventory to improve your swimming skill by 100.

• If you are a wizard, go back and visit Erasmus through the spinning hat and talk to him to learn the Whirlwind spell.
• If you are a fighter, wander around outside of town and kill some monsters, and make sure you fight in the arena a few times for more practice. You can also bet on yourself beforehand at the Dead Parrot Inn.

When you return to the Gnome Inn, put one of your mystic magnets in the storage chest in your room. On day 3, go to the bank.

• If you are a wizard, pick up the interesting toolkit from the floor. Show it to Shakra, then go and show it to Erasmus. Go to the Dead Parrot Inn and you will see Arestes get up from his table and leave. Follow him outside and all the way to a secret door under the bridge. Cast Detect Magic on the door, then cast Trigger on it to disarm the trap, and cast Open so you can go inside. Keep talking to Arestes until he agrees to go with you to the Hall of Kings, where you will get a nice reward.
• If you are a paladin, pick up the interesting toolkit from the floor. Show it to Shakra, then go and show it to Erasmus. Go to the Dead Parrot Inn and you will see Arestes get up from his table and leave. Follow him outside and all the way to a secret door under the bridge. Use Magic Ward and force the door open. Inside, keep talking to Arestes until he agrees to go with you to the Hall of Kings, where you will get a nice reward. The next day talk to Arestes in jail, then talk to Julanar at the Apothecary.

After this point it is safe to store your money in the bank.

Thief Only

Show the thief sign to Ferrari, Ugarte, Arestes and the Cloaked Man in the Dead Parrot Inn, and to Elsa in the Adventurers' Guild. Now go to the main pillar of the bridge outside the Guild at night time and use your toolkit on the hidden door. Disarm the trap and head inside. Talk to Arestes and join the Thieves' Guild, then buy the oil, torch, pickpocket knife, blackjack and rope. Combine your rope and magic grapnel. Practice pickpocketing on the dummy until you are successful, then you can do it to people in town later on. Enter the Chief Thief competition using the board on the right, then leave.

Go to the house next to the arena, which is deserted and safe to loot at night time. Light your torch with your tinderbox, then pick the lock and start sneaking. Look at the chest and the cupboard, then use a dagger to pry open the cupboard and take the extra dagger you find. Take the alabaster amphora from the table and search the couch to find a gold ring. Search the drawers on the right for some change. Move the painting on the right wall and disarm the safe, then open it to get some money and jewellery. Go and sell your goods to Arestes.

From up at Nob Hill, sneak down into Town Square. Wait until the guard has started to head away from the bank, then sneak to the door and pick the lock. Inside, pick the lock on the gate and disarm the trap on the safe. Take the treasure bags, then use your mystic magnets to return to your room.

After waiting up to 10 days, come back to the bank the same way at night time and use your blackjack to take out the patrolling guard, then get inside and take the money again. Each day you wait, the amount in the safe increases by 100 drachmas.

The next morning, talk to Ann to get your sewn sheet. Go to Science Island, and head inside and out the upstairs back exit.

Visit Marrak and buy a gyro, a pepperoni pizza and a box of sokolotak-ya. Make sure you have at least 2 empty amphorae.

• If you are a wizard, visit Shakra and buy stacks of mana potions and pills, as he will not be available for much longer.

Leave town and fly northwest to the dragon pillar with the skull symbol. Look at the body on the ground near the pillar. Fill up an amphora with water from near the body. Go to where the river enters the mountain and pour your water into the river nearby - you will automatically say the verse you learned from the pool near the Sybil and the gate will open. Approach the gate and Cerberus will arrive.

• Otherwise, give him the gyro, pepperoni pizza and box of chocolates.

Head inside and either fight the skeletons or just run quickly past them to the right. Jump or levitate down to the path below, then go through the arch on the right side. Continue running left along the dragon's skeleton into the next area and you will reach the river. Fill one amphora with Lethe water from the whirlpool, then go a bit to the right and get Styx water in your other amphora.

Thief Only

Steal the sheet from your bed, then sleep another night in the inn and Elsa will take you to Minos island. Start sneaking and use your blackjack on the goons before sneaking past the front gate of the castle over to the left side. Use your magic grapnel on the dead tree to get up to the ledge, then sneak right along the path to reach the wall. Jump over and blackjack the archer, then pick the lock on the door to get inside. Kill 3 goons in here, then go to the left upper door and head through to the treasure room. Kill 2 more goons in this room.

Pick up the winged lion statue from the table. Use your magic grapnel to get up above the left alcove, then use your sheet to pick up the magic statue. Now disarm the traps on the 6 alcoves and 2 chests and get all the stuff from inside - the blackbird is in the back right alcove and this is the only thing you really need; you should get this one last because more goons will enter at this point. When you are done, use your magic magnet to get home.

If you imported a thief character you will already have an imitation blackbird. If you didn't, show the real one to Wolfie and he will agree to make an imitation one. Go away and come back again to buy it from him, and also talk to him so he returns the real one to you. Go to the Dead Parrot Inn and give Ferrari the real blackbird, in exchange for the deed to the Gnome Inn. Go and give this to Ann.

At night time, go to the house next to Ferrari's (the old break-in house). Use your magic grapnel 3 times to get all the way to the roof, then jump over to Ferrari's house and sneak to the middle window. Use your oil on the bars to loosen them, then open the window (when prompted, twist the bars first, then use your toolkit). Sneak downstairs and take the alabaster amphora from the table. Disarm the trap on the safe behind the painting under the staircase to get 1000 drachmas. Push the table in the middle of the room towards the door, then climb on it. Swap your imitation blackbird with the real one. Climb back outside the house the way you came in, then teleport to your room. Go to the Thieves' Guild and show the blackbird to Arestes - now if you look at the board on the right, he will tell you the Chief Thief contest is over.

Rite of Peace Part 2

Leave town and use your balloon to fly to the far southwest. Go to the area marked with a shell.

• If you are a fighter, equip your magic spear and pry open the door with it, then kill the 2 Tritons. Go through the tunnel and reach the area with the shell on the tower. After the alarm is sounded, kill the Dragonfish, and Hippolyta will surrender.
• If you are a paladin, equip your magic spear and pry open the door with it, then cast Awe or Peace on the 2 Tritons. Swim through the tunnel, then head right behind the guards to the wall. Click on the middle panel and you will go through. Swim down and forward towards the screen, then hug the wall to reach the tower. Force open the secret door in the wall here (middle panel again) to enter the throne room.
• If you are a wizard, cast Open on the door, then cast Calm on the 2 Tritons. Swim through the tunnel, then head right behind the guards to the wall. Click on the middle panel and you will go through. Swim down and forward towards the screen, then hug the wall to reach the tower. Cast Open on the secret door in the wall here (middle panel again) to enter the throne room.
• If you are a thief, look at the left door hinge, then use your oil on it twice, then use your mystic magnet to pull it out. Avoid the 2 Tritons or fight them if you prefer. Swim through the tunnel, then head right behind the guards to the wall. Click on the middle panel and you will go through. Swim down and forward towards the screen, then hug the wall to reach the tower. Use your toolkit on the secret door in the wall here (middle panel again) to enter the throne room. Give Hippolyta your flowers.

Talk to Hippolyta and you will get the Peace statue. Fly back to Silmaria. Go to the Hall of Kings and show the Peace statue to the guard at the gate.

Rite of Justice

After the briefing, go and give the Peace statue to Ferrari.

• If you are a fighter, paladin or wizard, you will get the deed to the Gnome Inn in return; go and give this to Ann.

Sleep at the inn tonight, and Elsa will visit you one last time - this is when you can give her Hera's ring if you have been courting her. Similarly you can go and propose to whoever else you may have been courting (see the section on Marriage at the top). In the morning, go to the Apothecary and buy a whole heap of pills and potions, as well as at least 1 fireproofing oil. At night time, walk from the Dead Parrot towards the Gnome Inn and you will be ambushed outside the Adventurers' Guild by the assassin. Kill him and heal yourself, and you will end up talking to Logos.

• If you are a fighter, wizard or thief, select any option to deal with Minos.
• If you are a paladin, say you will use your Ring of Truth, then make sure you equip it.

Sleep at the inn again, and you will be summoned to the Hall of Kings the next day.

• If you are a fighter, wizard or thief, select any conversation options.
• If you are a paladin, accuse Minos and he will lie, and your ring will glow.

You will automatically be taken to Minos island. Make your way forward, taking out a few guards and archers.

• If you are a fighter, paladin or thief, break down the gate and door to the palace.
• If you are a wizard, cast Open on the gate and door to the palace.

Once inside, kill everyone in this room, then head upstairs and through the door on the left to find the treasure room. After Minos taunts you, run to the desk and pick up the toolkit, then give it to Elsa and she will free herself. Kill the goons and the minotaur with Elsa's help, and Minos will kill himself. After the cutscene, search Minos and the minotaur and take their items, and clear out the alcove that Elsa indicates to you (before this use the fireproofing oil on yourself for protection). You will then head to the final battle.

Dragon Fire

If Gort and Toro do not arrive automatically, talk to Erana or Katrina and ask for help so they are teleported in to help. Talk to each of them and ask them to help fix the pillar, then go and push on it as well - once the pillar is upright the draon will be bound to earth. Give the minotaur axe to Toro, and give both Toro and Gort some health potions so they can heal themselves. Use fireproofing oil on yourself now and during the battle.

• If you are a wizard, also cast Resistance on yourself for further fire protection.

Now fight the dragon with everything you've got and you should eventually emerge victorious.
