When the Freedom Slips Away and This Wreckage Discussion

[Deolrin]

I'm a big fan of RDZ's maps, so I decided to start a general discussion about them. If you played the maps, write anything you'd like about them, ask questions etc and hopefully RDZ or someone else could answer. If you haven't played the maps, then you should do so.

I'll start, with a question - in 'This Wreckage', how can you reach the bandit lord, 'Captain Griffen\Griffin'? I know that it is a reference to the Captain Griffin from WC3C, I'm just curious to know how, exactly, can you reach and kill him, or talk to him or whatever. (If I remember correctly, he is in the northern annex, and is surrounded by a band of creeps, they were forest trolls or just simple bandits I think)

 

[Vengeancekael]

I've got a question as well, where's the samurai? He said in the middle of the jungle, but I couldn't find him.

Overall, it's awesome. I made an entry for it.

 

[Deolrin]

What, Kael, you only discovered Uralion the traveler...? There's a fuckload of other companions you can get. The fugitive girl, the ancient knowledge construct, the nighelf girl etc.

I've got another question so lets hope all of them will be answered at one batch.
In When the Freedom Slips Away, how do you reach the Murloc Myrmidon, and where is the murloc village seen in the ending cinematic? About the Myrmidon - I summoned water elementals and got stuck in there once, but I'm sure there's some way to destroy those destructible rocks?

 

[Vengeancekael]

I did get the fugitive girl, but I killed her. Hehe...
I killed all of my companions, except that Uralion, because I love his model
Also, how are you supposed to stop those mushrooms in the dungeon, apart from using spells.

 

[Deolrin]

Maybe try NOT to kill your companions next time? oO

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Companions pretty much are expendable if you're a pro.

If you see indestructible rocks, then there is something quest-related hiding behind them. Or a giant Scorpid.

1. Captain Gryphon is in the jungle, and is associated with Midge's quest. But I think you mean Captain Zhao in the mountain with the Mur'gul, who are all a part of a Special Agent's quest line (not the main quest swamp Special Agent). And I never used forest trolls ;_;
2. Kelljn's jungle stop is in the top half of Agent City, near the Yellow Scholar.
3. The Myrmidon is related to the Murloc side-story. You can find their village by walking up to some suspicious trees in Thirlmir.
4. The exploding Sporelings? Magic is probably the best bet, since nobody has a ranged attack.

Hello, just joined the Hive, just got re addicted to WC3, and checking out some new RPG type maps, RDZ are great, and I look forward to Kael project as well.
now on to the meat of the sammie!
I need a hint, I am stuck in the southern swamp area. I was tasked with gathering 14 magic 'mushrooms, and all I caught was '....NW of Murlocs' in the message ??? I have scoured the area for over an hour, and it is not that big of an area, but I cannot find the magic mushroom patch ?
Help.
Also the pig dieeeeed. Is it a big deal, I hadn't saved in a while, so -I just kept on, Is it a big deal, should I re start before and make sure he lives ?
Thanks ,
-G

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

The pig's death isn't a big deal in terms of the main plot, but you won't be able to 100% the map without him.

The Mur'gul base isn't in the swamp, but in the main temple area. You've been to the place before; it's where you found the key for the south gate... Some trees have collapsed to reveal a further area of the Mur'gul base.

 

[Graiskye]

Thanks RDZ.
Awesome map dude.

 

[Graiskye]

And whatever anyone does, Do not, I repeat DO NOT attack the big dog in your base, he will very quickly chow you and your party. Found that out the hard way....
Mmmmmm wonder what happens is I try to target this dog with that spell.....
dead.
-Lol.

 

[Graiskye]

K, things are going well on the main quest line.
Couple of the side quests have me stumped:
1.) The Emerald Hill Zone, I cannot find the statue to place the emerald on, been all over the Southern Annex(the Swamp), am I looking in wrong spot.

2.)And again in the same area I think, the Living Stone sidequest, the statue that is supposed to come to life when it gets dark ?? Cannot find it ?

3.) the Research project, I killed the Aerark(IIRC) and I got the egg, but I cannot find the proper scholar to give it too, and I have found them all, anyone recall which scholar wants the egg???
Thats all I guess, and I dont ask a question until I really try for quite a while, these are three that have been nagging me for a bit.
Found all the Scholars, just starting on the last series now I think, just got the Codex quest!
Thanks RDZ.

 

[Vengeancekael]

1.) It's to the south west. You simply can't miss it. There are some ruins around it as well.
2.) If you mean the living Panther, that one is in the jungle to the west. The cliff right next to the entrance of the city.

 

[indomitable1319]

Oh, in This Wreckage, I would like to make sure that I get all of the companions.
So far, I'm at the part where I save the officer girl after Balthasar... Exploded?
I saved and quitted a few minutes after.
I got the Fan of Knives skill first, and then the Howl of Terror skill next. Both are level 4, and I got level 2 Attribute bonus. I'm Level 10, got me a Starfall Ore Sword, the (Fel Rock Shield, was it?), and loads of consumables. I really like how the wands create an effect on your backpack, and create a nice blend with your model.

I'm not too far into the game, yet I'm pretty strong.
So, I have the Construct, and I don't want to miss any companions AT ALL. So can you guys like, guide me a bit?

 

[Vengeancekael]

There is a companion in the jungle, (female), she will try to escape from you.
Find her everytime she blinks away and she will become your companion.

 

[indomitable1319]

Oh, that guy. I've seen my brother deal with her, but I only saw the part where she called in reinforcements.

But I'll watch out for her.

 

[LordKalla]

You can also get Uralon, if you visit the Portal after a while

 

[indomitable1319]

I gots Uralon. I got Rage (Berserk) as my third skill, and all my skills are now level six, except for my ultimate or something. I don't have it yet, so I have two free skill points to spend. I'm V26, I got the Glyph Sword, I got lots of stuff.

I want to know if bringing Anna and being called a bastard will be a good choice, or to keep her away from the Empire for two days?

 

[Deolrin]

Don't be a bastard.

 

[Pourquoi]

Why?

 

[indomitable1319]

Hahaha, I found out why.

It'll give a significant bonus in the final battle.

 

[ldragogode297]

One question, in WTFSA, where is that damn white murloc and how do I reach him? I did every other quest but I can't find that guy.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Grab a torch to shed light on the situation -- you can buy torches from barmen. Then head for his garden, an area of flowers near the Jungle Stalker nest on the beach.
