Hello there! This FAQs primary purpose is to provide helpful information about

sidequest and how to unlock everything in the game, and deal with those pesky
bosses! This guide will NOT show you how to play (see the game's tutorial),

PART 1 - The Agarian Realm
Bartonia, Homeland of the Agarian Knights
! Family Reunion
* You get the Broken Shield (10% chance of preventing 1 damage when dealt
2+ damage) for completing this quest.
! Practice Dummy (repeatable until after The Missive)
! Advanced Combat (repeatable until after The Missive)
! The Missive
* This quest will be completed with either success or failure, with a
different conversation for each. You get a longsword (+4 to Battle) for
completing this quest.
! Rogue Skeleton
? Beneath Gildor
* You get the Rat King's Helm (+3 to gold when you match blue gems) for
completing this quest.
? Patrol Duty (repeatable)
? Spider Bait
? Bats in the Belfry (level 6)
? Father and Son (level 11)
* You get Erik's Bow (+1 damage plus an additional +1 for each 5 character
levels) for completing this quest. Hang on to this.
? Ogre Twins (level 11)
! Darkhunter
* Starting this quest unlocks Gallia.
Gallia, Citadel of the Borderlands
! Helping Hand
* Starting this quest unlocks Drakenburg sidequests.
! The Prisoner
* You have a choice here. Releasing the necromancer will result in him
giving you Sir Ector's Sword (50% chance a random skull appears after
matching purple stars). This Sword is needed for the alternate ending!
Bringing him to the Riverguard gets you some gold. Afterwards, Darkhunter
will join your party (10 damage against undead at start of combat).
? Troll Trouble
Bartonia, Revisited
! Rescue Mission (level 8)
? Imperial Message
* Completing this quest unlocks Enmouth sidequests.
? Knightly Orders (unlocked by Imperial Reply)
* You can join any one of the five houses. Each one gives a different
stat bonus. Bartonia gives you +2 to Battle, Siria gives you +3 to
Morale, Theiria gives you +2 to Fire Mastery, Gildor gives you +2 to
Cunning, and Elenia gives you +2 to Earth Mastery.
! None Shall Pass
* Completing this quest unlocks Silvermyr sidequests. Make sure you equip
the Lichebane Charm Darkhunter gives you. You don't get to keep it
though -_-
! Dwarven Caravan
* Starting this quest unlocks Dhun-Kor. Khalkus will join your party
(+10 Battle against constructs) after the first fight.
B - Dugog (Boss)
* This guy is easily the hardest boss in the game, given your low level.
His extra head gives him an extra turn EVERY time he gains gold, so keep
it away at all costs. Try to keep red and yellow mana away as well,
because Double Roar can easily be a knockout blow. I STRONGLY suggest an
Ultimate Troll Ring for this battle. You get Dugog's Axe (20% chance of
+12 damage when you line up skulls) for winning. If damage is an issue,
try to pick up a Firewalker's Staff, Black Staff, or a Holy or Unholy
Lance from the shops.
Dhun-Kor, Capital of the Dwarves
! Good Tidings
Drakenburg, City by the Sea
? Dragonsearch
? Stolen Catapult (level 7) (repeatable)
* This quest is great for gathering a little extra cash at this point in
the game. You get 200 gold per run.
? Storms at Sea (level 15)
Enmouth, City of the Selentine Empire
? Slavers
* Completing this quest gets you the Medal of Selentine (doubles all
experience earned in combat).
? The Marriage
* Returning the Princess to Bartonia gets you 2000 Gold(!), plus she
joins you (+10 Battle against Good characters). Bringing her to the
Trarg pretty much gives you squat (50 Gold and EXP) and the Princess
doesn't join you...
? Imperial Reply
* This is the only time Imps appear! Capture one before going back to
Bartonia if you want one. Completing this quest unlocks Knightly
Orders in Bartonia.
? Harpy Infestation (repeatable)
Silvermyr, Wood Elf Sanctuary
? Lord of the Swamp
END PART 1
PART 2 - The Kor Realm
Dhun-Kor, Capital of the Dwarves
! Tribal Chaos
? Slave Caravan
K Dwarven Heirloom
* You have a choice here. Keeping the heirloom gives you a relic, but you
won't be able to do it while Khalkus is in the party. Returning the
heirloom gives you the title of Dwarf-Friend (+2 Morale).
! Lord of Orcs
* Starting this quest unlocks Grullkar sidequests.
? The Sting
? The Worm Turns
! Ogre Tactics
D Distant Rumor
! Ogre Magic
* Starting this quest unlocks Gluk sidequests.
! War Council
! The Gobshooter
! Grullkar
B - Grullkar (Boss)
* Way easier than Dugog, just wail on him with your best moves. Watch out
for his Headbutt. He has a Greataxe, so he can lay on the hurt with
several skull matches in a row. You get Grullkar's Shield (+1 to battle
whenever you take 2+ damage) when you win.
! Dragontrap
* Starting this quest unlocks the Dragonrealm.
? Incoming! (repeatable)
D Seeking advice
Grullkar, center of the Orc Kingdom
? Reagent Hunt
? Tit for Tat
? Reassembly
* You have a choice here. You can keep the Soultree Axe (+2 life points
whenever you deal four or more damage), or return it to Neehi for EXP and
and gold. The axe isn't great, IMO... Either choice will still allow you
to unlock the Antidote quest.
? Antidote (repeatable)
? Crazy Goblin (unlocked by Spider Meat)
* Just keep finding him. You can keep the Relic of Ymorgia (+5 to earth
mastery AND 5% earth resistance) or return it to the Ogre Magi for EXP
and gold.

* Completing this quest unlocks Crazy Goblin in Grullkar.
* You get the Ogreblood Helm (2% to fire resistance whenever an opponent
casts a spell) for completing this quest.
? Troll Meat
* You get the Trollblood Staff (2% to water resistance whenever an
opponent casts a spell) for completing this quest.

casts a spell)for completing this quest.
? Ogre Meat (gogo cannibalism ^_^)
* You get the Earthblood Cloak (2% to earth resistance whenever an
opponent casts a spell) for completing this quest.

Silvermyr, Wood Elf Sanctuary
K Second Gear (unlocked after First Gear)
Dragonrealm, Abandoned Roost of the Dragons
! Waking Kelthurax
? Flame Hunt
? Frost Hunt
? Swamp Hunt
* These three quests must be completed to unlock More Hunting.
? More Hunting
* Flicker joins your party when you complete this quest (10% air
resistance against fliers).
! The Mechataur
B - Mechataur (Boss)
* Not hard at all. His Mechanical Axe ALWAYS gives him an extra turn
lining up skulls, so try not to leave too many on the board at one time.
His Energize move isn't scary at all, he only gets back like 25HP and it
drains all his mana. Beating him gets you his Elemental Gem (+2 to each
mana reserve for each full mana reserve you have.

* Starting this quest unlocks Ohtar.
B - Minigoth (Boss)
* This guy is a pain for Knights especially, as any time he gets a 4 or 5
of a kind he destroys all purple stars. His earth Resistance is a pain as
well. He has Charge!, Wake the Dead, and Flaming Skulls for spells, and
his Axe of Doom means any time he deals 3 or more damage, he destroys
ALL +5 Skulls! This is very dangerous after he casts Wake the Dead.

more damage, and gives 15% Earth Resistance) when you win.

You get the title of Immortality (+10 to Morale!) for completing this quest,
but it comes at a cost... This quest can be abandoned at any time before
completion by returning to Bane's Citadel.
! Bane's Citadel
! The Final Battle
* This conversation with Lord Bane is quite different if you completed
Follow the Sword...
B - Lord Bane (Boss)
* The Final Battle. Bane starts with 16% in ALL resistances, so spells are
gonna be a pain. He has 4 spells, one for each color. Each one destroys
all gems of a color and increases his Mastery by that much in that color.
Not scary by itself, but it pumps the heck out of his gear...
Bane's Crown: +1 to Battle, Cunning, and Morale for each 3 points of
Air Mastery.
Bane's Cloak: 1% chance for each 3 points of Water Mastery of healing
10 Life Points each turn.
Bane's Sword: +1 to damage for each 3 points of Fire Mastery whenever
you deal 3+ damage.
Bane's Shield: 1% to ALL resistances for each 3 points of Earth
Mastery.
The longer this battle goes the more it favors Bane. The shield and
cloak are the scariest, so try to keep fire and earth gems off the board.
Keep matching skulls, and try to connect with spells.
Good Luck!!!
Thanks to Infinite Interactive and D3 Publishing for this incredibly addictive
game.
