A collection of questions frequently asked by members of the other forum. I posted it here since it may be of some good use.

Everything is put in hidden tag because we do not encourage using walkthroughs to solve everything, we prefer thinking and solving problems by yourself :)

Some color codes for you guys to keep track:
  • Bosses
  • Items
  • Quests
  • Puzzles/Mazes
  • Areas
  • Abilities

  1. Q: I started playing and I don't see Phodom. What to do?
    First complete Prologue to create your characters.
  2. Q: How can I use my old savegames with the new game version ?
    Simply complete the current chapter you're playing or activate Give Up. Then remove the old version and put the newest version of campaign to your campaign folder and start playing. Continue your game by playing the next chapter or start from the prologue having old resources from Give Up.
  3. Q: When I finished loading the maps for the first time the screen turns black and a message 'Loading data' is displayed for a really long time. Can I still play the campaign ? Is the waiting time long because of my PC's performance?
    Yes and no. You can still play the campaign as usual after the maps finished loading data (both the normal loading and the custom loading). Your PC's performance may not be the problem because it is noticed that different PCs with different performances account an apparently equal amount of time for the custom loading.
  4. Q: How can I solve the Obelisk Puzzle in chapter 2 ?
    Follow this order: 1/ Upper left corner: Red -> 3/ Upper right corner: "yellow" -> 4/ Lower right corner: Blue -> 5/ Lower left corner: Black -> 2/ Middle upper place: Purple.
  5. Q: How can I solve Ghost Puzzle in chapter 3?
    Destroy all of the ghosts' mana before killing them. You will need Magic Torment Combat King or Omega Gloves in order to do so.
  6. Q: How can I obtain Omega Orb in chapter 3?
    First you need to obtain the Mysterious Ring from an Icy Hades. Then use the ring to enter the Epic Boss Arena. The pieces of the Orb can be obtained as follow:
    • Circle Puzzle: Complete the Puzzle 4 times, each time with a different color to obtain the 1st piece.
    • Invisible Path Puzzle: Acquire the 2nd piece by following the right path. The solution can be found here. It is also recommended that you utilize Vacuum to acquire nearby items rather that walking to it.
    • Golem Puzzle: Kill both of the golems at the same time to finish them off. The 3rd piece can be obtained after the Golems are killed.
    • Epic Boss Fight: Defeat the Epic Boss to obtain the 4th, 5th and 6th piece of the Orb.

    Put your game settings to the highest possible. It is also noticed that Mac users may experience this bug sometimes.
  10. Q: How can I find Ghost Wolf in chapter 5?
    Kill about 20 wolves to make the Ghost Wolf appear. Then proceed northwards along the road in the middle of the map until you reach the top of the map. The Ghost Wolf is invisible so it only attacks when your characters are near it.
  11. Q: How can I solve the Deathless Puzzle in chapter 6?
    If you take a close look, there are always pairs of Deathless with the same color. The key to solve the puzzle is to kill 2 Deathlesses with the same colour, if you kill a RED one and a BLUE one then the RED one will resurrect. After you have killed a RED one, you must kill another RED one to completely destroy the pair. Mortals, on the other hand, can be killed freely. Once all Deathlesses and Mortals are killed, the puzzle will be completed.
  12. Q: How can I find chapter 6 Epic Boss, Jurxy?
    Destroy all Magic Generators (8 in total) and kill all skeletons (Cage Quest also need to be completed before that). Then kill the 4 newly-spawned Champion Skeletons in the arena in the north-west corner of the temple. After that have Galeoth get near the centre of that arena to start the fight.
  13. Q: How can I find chapter 6 Elite Boss, Faerga ?
    After entering Kar'Gath temple, you can return to the Lava Cave by using the same entrance. Travel to the West section of the cave and you will meet a NPC named Othoz. You will need to complete his tasks to summon the Elite Boss, Esper Faerga. Important note: You cannot do this if you have rescued Galeoth i.e. completing the first Boss Fight.
  14. Q: How can I solve the Nightmare Puzzle in chapter 6?

  15. Q: How can I optain Shard of Shadows in chapter 6?
    Enter the first boss battle with Xada in the main chamber of Kar'gath. Fight and reduce Xada's HP to <10000HP. Then wait until a special boss event that causes him to teleport to a random location and start healing himself multiple times, each restoring ~500HP. When his current HP has reached 35% of his maximum HP, a cinematic will be played showing Xada transforming into his second form. Defeat his second form and Shard of Shadows will be given as a quest reward.
  16. Q: How can I defeat Ruy'Arvoz in chapter 7?
    Ruy'Arvoz restores his HP by converting his mana. So the best way to defeat him is destroying his mana with Combat King Magic Torment or wielding Omega Gloves.
  17. Q: How can I find chapter 7 Epic Boss, Siluze?
    First you need to kill the chapter's main boss, Groxts . Travel to the Lesser Battle Arena and you will meet a NPC named Alfred. Then you will receive the Quest and you will also need to travel to the Fountain near the Market after receiving the Quest to watch an additional cinematic before Siluze is spawned in the Greater Battle Arena.
  18. Q: How can I find chapter 8 Epic Boss, Zhitenxa?
    First you need to acquire an invisible-detecting item then travel to the Ice Plaza at the end of the main road in the southern rampart of Rot'Afor. Search for the troll shaman Tazefda there and prevent him from escaping by clicking on all of the wisps quickly and you will need to do this twice. After you have defeated him go back to the Ice Plaza while still carrying the invisible-detecting item and the Epic Boss cinematic will be triggered.
  19. Q: How can I solve Crystal Golem Puzzle in chapter 8?
    After you have slain a golem you need to stand near its corpse to prevent it from resurrecting. Once all the golems have been killed the puzzle will be completed. The easiest way to accomplish this puzzle is kiting all the golems to a place and destroy them.
  20. Q: How can I find Tazefda in chapter 8?
    Thanks to hamza_tm for providing the answer. This works as of current version, i.e 1.8e

    OK to answer your questions, Tazefda, the barrier blocking the south west and the empty area you see next to the lake are all part of the epic boss quest.

    First get a true sight item (that dust of appearance thing from the Troll shop for example) and travel to Rot'Afor. If you go to the burning town, you can go south across a bridge and into the castle itself. Stand on the south battlement and you will get a cutscene.

    Now look for Tazefda, he will appear in a random spot out of about 5 possible places. You can either run around and find him or ask someone with an unprotected.map to tell you the spots.

    Once you find him click on all the wisps fast. If you do it correctly he will say "too slow" and teleport to the top of the map. You have to go there and click all the wisps again before they disappear.

    Then travel to that area next to the lake to start the Tazefda fight with Galeoth.

    After beating him the barrier south west will disappear and you can access the Epic Boss. A very interesting fight, not too dangerous.
  21. Q: How can I find Behemoth in chapter 8?
    Defeat the chapter boss and complete the quest Challenge. Then go back to Shazular's place and the mini boss will be there. You also must not complete the Epic Quest before defeating the mini boss or he will be removed from the map.
