I missed the one you just described and nearly missed a few. Such as getting the stone tablet at the grave spot in Witchwood.

Once you do the Greatwall quest you can accept it but you immediately fail it. You still keep the item that lets you into the manse at least. Who knows what other quests are only available in that timeframe.

Started playing Plain fighter again to max it out for the first time since I got the game and man, what this game gets that so few games understand that a shield can be a weapon too. I love that part about how the fighter plays.

I know there's been complaining about the lack of fast travel but if there was then I wouldn't have had a grand adventure going from the Great Wall back to Gran Soren. I had to fight a whole mess of Dire Wolves and Snow Harpies, a Cyclops, 2 Chimeras, 2 Ogres (at once! In the dark!), lots of bandits and undead warriors, and as soon as I got within sight of the Gran Soren gates a gang of Sorcerers showed up. I started out in the morning and by the time I got back to the city it was late at night. The game has lots of problems but no other game gives me that same sense of ~adventure~ that this one does. Also Evil Canadian your pawn likes to fall off cliffs.

How do you kill Chimeras? I killed the snake and the goat and then I climbed onto the lion and started slashing at it, but its health bar just kept refilling.

Chimeras don't have any way of healing so unless there was a bandit mage healing it or something I'm not sure why that was happening. Doing damage to the lion makes the chimera's hp go down a lot more slowly than killing the goat or snake, though. You know that some enemies have multiple bars worth of health represented by the pink dots next to their health bar, right?

Dogbutt posted:Well I did it! I beat the Dragon! But there's a LOT of questions I have Selene is your 'beloved' character according to your affinity, doing Selene's questline maximizes her affinity, so you get her as your romance, yeah. The Dragonforged and Duke die because the Dragonforged ran and hid from the Dragon, still an Arisen, the Dragon still had his heart. The Dragon mentions that the Duke sacrificed the person most dear to him in order to persuade the Dragon to leave, he didn't slay him at all and was still an Arisen when you killed the Dragon. They got their hearts back when you got your back, and since they were immortal up until that point... The Dragonforged turns to dust and the Duke dies of old age due to how long their hearts have been inside the Dragon. Dragonforged Equipment is pretty much a rank above level 3 equipment, it's basically the best you can get and you can only get it by killing a powerful dragon, like the one who made you Arisen. Slaying a major Dragon with weapons tempers it to Dragonforged, slaying THE Dragon gets you a full equipment boost to Dragonforged.

That way you have a way to quickly get to Cassardis and the Encampment, as well as a relatively quick/safe path through the Witchwood to the south eastern part of the map. Between that port crystal and the ancient quarry shortcut, getting from Gran Soren to anywhere in the southern half of the map doesn't take more than 10 minutes.

Okay, do attacks to exponentially more damage the further away you are from your enemy? I think I just killed a drake in one shot from halfway across Gransys.

What sorts of things would I get from killing the drake in Dragonfire Grove? I'm around level 28 (I think) and since I've had over 300,000 gold for a while with nothing to spend it on (I've done no plot quests past Everfall), I was thinking about buying one of those ridiculous arrows that apparently one-shots anything. Has anyone used them and can confirm that it would kill that drake? It's just always there every time I pass by, being alive and whatnot. I don't like that.

Just as a FYI for everyone going for The Hero, all the quests don't have to be done in a single playthrough. You can check what quests you've completed under the History thing and you won't have to do those in any NG+s for the trophy/achievement. e: At least that's what I've read. I'll be able to confirm it myself either tonight or tomorrow. Azraden fucked around with this message at 03:33 on May 30, 2012 |

So, after the greatwall, I got a quest to go see the dragonforged before facing the dragon. Except I was all like, "I didn't see what was downstairs in the castle!" so I ran downstairs and the quest updated to "face the dragon." Uhh yeah no. I'm guessing I can see the dragonforged anyway and it'll give me his quest dialogue, but I'm hoping I didn't miss anything by doing that? Also I'm guessing once I DO go to face the dragon it'll be a point of no return thing, and then I can finally read all those post-game spoilers everyone is talking about. I have a few quests I think I can do, but I definitely missed a billion. I'm not really too worried about achievements, though it kind of sucks anyway. I've also not faced the drake or whatever yet, just gave it a wide berth the one time I was there, so maybe I should go do that now. Hmm. Also, I found one of those "learn about monsters" tomes, and it was for a hydra, so I like to imagine when I give back the pawns I've been using they'll look at "gained hydra knowledge" and think I am badass for facing a hydra. Except not really.

I looked and looked, and tried and tried. To the abbey, through the forest. From Quarry to River, there were no ogres. I found them in the Quarry. How did that guy get from one end to the other to find there was no key, then back again. There were a few ogres and a bunch of undead in there. He should be slaying this dragon, not me.

I probably should have checked this before I wiped out my character. Oops. Do fighters or warriors have any recourse against stuff that flies besides waiting for your pawns to bring it down? I hate being made useless in certain situations in video games., so they're probably right out if they have no options.
