Introduction and Version History Take special note that this FAQ is currently a very preliminary work in progress. It currently only covers the training and 3 out of 12 main quests, and only about half of the bonus quests. I will be working on and updating this doc constantly until I get 100%/100% on all of the quests completed. I mean it. In the meantime, please do not ask me any questions about the game that I haven't covered. There is currently a complete online walkthrough located here: http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/outcast/ Mind you, I haven't used it myself (funny, I hate using walkthroughs, but not writing them), but it seems pretty complete on the surface. Version History: 0.1 (9/15/99): First version. Training and 80% Shamazaar. 0.2 (9/19/99): 100% Shamazaar. 0.3 (9/23/99): 100% Talanzaar regular, 75% bonus. 0.4 (9/27/99): 75% Okasankaar regular, 25% bonus. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- II. Playing the Game (expect controls, general hints and tips and sneaky stuff here) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- III. Main Quests Walkthrough ======================================================================= A. Training ======================================================================= N: Zokrym wants me to speak with his son Jan before he opens the daoka. After the introductory movie, you should first grill Zokrym on all of his available information (except "Ready to Go"). Next, you will need to find Jan. He's the younger Talan wearing the red sash, and he's usually in the house right across from Zokrym's. N: Finish four tests with Jan. You should go through each of the Jan's four tests to get a feel for the game. For each of the tests, ask Jan about the test, follow Jan to the test location, and ask him about that test's info to begin. Let's start with the Target Test. N: Shoot all the vases. Just target each vase and shoot. It may help to go into first-person mode (by hitting the CTRL key) to aim. Grab all the items, then go back to Jan and try the Jump Test. N: Jump across to the other side of the platform at the top of the steps and get the reward. Easy. Just up the stairs, jump, get the map, and watch the quick cinema. Head back to Jan and ask him about the Swim Test. N: Swim down and get the rewards in the water. Jump in and go swimming for loot. Watch your oxygen meter to prevent drowning. Finally, find Jan again (he'll have wandered off while you've been swimming), and ask about the Sneak Test. N: Wait until Jan counts three then try to get the fruit without being seen. After a few seconds of looking wildly about, Jan will settle down into a steady pattern of scanning around him. Wait until he's turning away, then run to the first mound and crawl (Space Bar). Wait, then get up and run behind the next box. Wait, then to the mound and crawl, wait, then grab the fruit. It may take you a couple of tries to get it, and if you don't get it, Jan will just tell you not to worry about it. Once you're done with all four tests, talk with Jan again ("Result") to get your EVD (field glasses). Finally, talk to Zokrym ("Ready to Go") to have him give you your quests and turn on the Daoka. GN: Talk to Recreators. GN: Convince region leaders to stop producing supplies. GN: Find Shamaz who knows about Mon. Before you leave, you might want to have a chat with the other three Guardians to learn more about Adelpha, as well as asking Zokrym about a few more things. Don't forget to raid all three houses as well as the surrounding land (and water) for all the ammo, money, and other items you can grab. ======================================================================= B. The Mon Quests ======================================================================= 1. Shamazaar ======================================================================= Upon arriving in Shamazaar, have a chat with the Talan waiting for you. He'll guide you to the village, and give you a few pointers as well. N: Speak to Shamaz Zeb. N: Find the Mon. Shamaz Zeb, like all Shamaz, show up as light-blue colored on your map. Grill him over every subject you can before moving on. N: Find and stop Naarn. He may know about the Mon. N: Speak with Naarn's brother, Ilott. N: Speak with Zalinass. He may know where the Mon is. Before you do anything else, head over to the building with the closed door in the village (which is a Riss Storage Building). There should be a key lying on the ground in front of it, so take it and open the door to retrieve your F-Links, as well as some other useful supplies. (Note: From this point forward, the game is much easier if you've stopped Riss production. Perhaps you should finish that quest first before continuing?) Speak with Zalinass first; he's the Talan wandering between the Twon-Ha pens in the village wearing the light blue robe. He'll give you a big hint about where the Mon is, not that you can get it right away. Find Ilott and speak with him. He's located to the north of the dais just north of the village. You will probably want to clear out the dias of soldiers before speaking with him to avoid interruptions. N: Find a Shamaz to heal Ilott. Head back to the village and ask Shamaz Zeb to heal Ilott. He'll gladly do so, after which you can talk to Ilott again. N: Riss Counters know about Essence Idols. N: Bring Magwa to help Shamaz Mazum. N: Speak to Shamaz Mazum about Naarn. The Riss Counters can be found to the west of the Temple Fae near the water. The one to the south is much more intelligent, and can give a lot more information. N: 3 of the Essence Idols are hidden in Riss Storage Houses. One may be with the soldiers inside the Temple Fae. N: Two Riss storage houses on islands near Temple Fae, one northeast of the Temple Fae, and one in the village. Yikes. Before you gear up for that big battle, head up to see Mazum. Before you go, you can ask any normal Talan about Magwa. N: A Talan named Logar may know where to get Magwa. Logar can be found to the west of the Essence Well. Buy the Magwa from him, and head to see Mazum in the temple to the immediate North of the Temple Fae. Grill him over all the information he can give you. N: Bring the stone tablet for Shamaz Mazum. Ask Maar. Head back to Maar and ask him about the Naarn and the tablet. After this, he'll go to Mazum's house and get the chest, placing it in a field next to the house. Speak with Maar again about how to open the chest. N: Use dynamite on chest. Wait for Maar to clear out, then drop a stick of dynamite on the chest and set it off (either by shooting it or using a CLAPR-T). Pick up the tablet and then head back to Mazum and talk with him about it twice. N: (Symbols on Sankra Tablet) Top = Fae ; Left = Ka ; Bottom = Gandha ; Right = Eluee. N: Shamaz Mazum told me the path of the Sankra. When Fae controls Eluee, Eluee controls Ka, Ka controls Gandha, Gandha controls Fae, then the world is in Sankra. Now, it's off to get the Essence Stones. There are three Riss Storage Houses remaining (one on either side of the Temple Fae, and one in the far northeast near the other three temples), and they are all heavily guarded. If you choose the violent route, you'll need to raid each of the three remaining Riss Storage Houses. Use whatever strategy you wish here, but be warned that even at half strength, these will be some hard battles. To get into the houses, you will need a Door Key (or some well placed dynamite). Keys are usually carried by the captains or lying on the ground near the houses themselves, and there are extra keys located near the three northern temples. Once inside the houses, shoot open the vases to find the Essence Stones. Of course, you could always be sneaky and use a PPS to get up close and personal and drop a couple of pieces of dynamite near all the soldiers. Now, let's head to the Temple Ka (it's the one where the accident is/was). If you haven't cleared it already, see the bit on "Accident at the Temple Ka" in the bonus section below. Climb up the stairs and walk around until you see the altar. Place the Eluee stone (the wavy one) in the hole. Next, head to the Gandha temple (north of the Ka temple) and place the Ka stone in its altar. Finally, head to the Eluee temple (with Mazum) and place the Fae stone there. This will kick off a cutscene at the Temple Fae. Now that you have the three Essence Stones in place, it's time for the final raid on the Temple Fae itself. Just kill everything that moves. After the battle, head over to the two Daokas within the temple, and Naarn will stumble through one of them carrying the final Essence Stone. Speak with him to retrieve it (or wait until he's dead and take it from his body). Finally, place the Gandha Stone at the altar in the temple. This will cause the large flame to go out. Climb up the large steps, and there you will find the first Mon. Once you've retrieved the Mon, just kill a little time and you'll get the first Event Quest. If you want, visit Ilott for to give your condolences and pick up a little more ammo. ======================================================================= 2. Okasankaar ======================================================================= Upon arriving in Okasankaar (preferably by using the daoka in the southwest side of Talanzaar), you'll notice a ton of soldiers and a lot of frightened workers. Talk to any worker Talan to get some information. Northeast of the daoka, you'll notice a Talan in gray waving at you. Ask him what's wrong. N: Soldiers inside the city are looking for Guardians. In order to proceed any further, you'll need to clear the city (the big black thing to the north of the daoka) of guards. You can follow the Talan's advice and take the back way in, or be brave and take the front door. Either way, no Talan will help you until you've eradicated the city of soldiers. Once you're done, find Shamaz Kaleb in his house in the center of Cyana and ask him about the Mon (and the Gorgor and Oru as well). N: Shamaz Kaleb says the mon is someplace called Gorgor Islans and I have to find a Talan named Oru to get there. N: Go to the docks on the west side of Cyana and find a boat to take me to Oru's Island. Go talk to the docks and talk to Sadar, the northern boatman. N: Sadar needs a Zeedog gland to fix his boat. So, go find and kill a Zeedog or two. They're all over the place, especially on the east side of the main island. Grab a gland, and then bring it back to Sadar. He'll fix his boat, and then you can ask him to take you to Oru's island. Once on Oru's island, head northwest, killing the Zeedogs as you go (and don't forget those glands for Jokace). Talk to Oru, about his supplies, and the Gorgor. N: Speak with Shamaz Kaleb to get Oru's gun. N: Speak with Zele about getting ammo for Oru's gun. Head back to the mainland via the waiting boat. Once back in Cyana, go talk with Zele about Oru's ammo. Zele is the Talan in maroon near the docks. Grill him about everything. N: To make the five ammo, Oru needs 5 daguerauch and 5 booyat. N: Speak to Zafar about booyat. N: The daguerach grow on an island to the east of Oru's house. The easiest of these two things to get is definitely the daguerach. Have Sadar take you back out to Oru's island. Run along the northern coast of Oru's island until you come to the platforms to the island. Using a Gaamsaav is recommended before you jump across to the island, just in case you miss. Once you're there, kill the gamors and gather all the daguerach you can find (there are 11 in all). Return to the boatman to return to Cyana. Next up is Zafar. He's a big merchant, dressed in yellow on the east side of Cyana. Ask him about the booyat. N: Zafar has one booyat he will sell me. N: Zafar will sell me the location of where the booyats grow. N: Some talan named Martigar was taken to Zorkatraz. Buy the booyat (or see the Zafar's Stand bonus quest on how to get it for free) and the location of the booyats. Ask him about the Darosham and how to turn off the flame (for a small fee), and then ask about Zorkatraz. N: Zafar will sell me info about the essence wheel and how to get past the flame. N: To get past the flame in the darosham, look on the outside wall of the sunken temple. Hit the essence wheel symbols in the order marked. N: The sunken temple is to the southwest of Cyana. N: Zorkatraz: An island prison only reachable by boat. Wow. Seems like a lot of work ahead. Anyway, talk with Shamaz Kaleb about the gun. N: Find Oru's gun in a sunken temple to the southwest of Cyana. N: Locate two buttons on land near the sunken temple. Ask some Talan near there to help push them. So, it appears our first stop is the sunken temple to the southwest. (TO BE CONTINUED...) ======================================================================= 3. Motazaar ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 4. Okaar ======================================================================= ======================================================================= C. Resource Quests ======================================================================= 1. Stop Riss Production ======================================================================= In the land of Shamazaar, Riss is a food grown for the soldiers. By stopping Riss production, you will greatly cut the amount of damage you need to deliver to a soldier to kill him. Upon arriving in Shamazaar, first speak with the Talan waiting for you as well as Shamaz Zeb, and then raid the Riss Storage building before trying to stop the Riss flow (see the Mon Quests section for Shamazaar). In order to stop the Riss flow (or any resource flow), you must find the leader of the region and convince him to do so. In Shamazaar, this leader is Maar. He's located in the northwest side of the village, wearing a red robe and holding a clipboard. Grill him for information, and ask him to "Stop Riss Production" to get your quest. N: To stop Riss production, find the Essence Stone. N: Maar says I should speak with Zeo about the Essence Stone. Zeo is located on the northeast side of Shamazaar. Looking at your map, you will see two temples in the far northeast with a small structure in between them; this is the Essence Well, where Zeo hangs out. Surprisingly, one of the safest ways to travel through Shamazaar is around the water that surrounds the Temple of Fae the big temple in the middle of the area). There are several groups of Krakits around this area (those are the spider-like creatures), but you should be able to avoid them without too much trouble. Talk with Zeo to find out more about the Essence Stone. N: Essence stone is outside Temple Fae. N: Zeo wants something called the Essence Stone. Uh oh. That's the one place everyone keeps telling you to avoid. Not to worry, as you can retrieve the stone without firing a shot. The stone is kept in the tower to the west of the temple, and it's only watched by two wandering guards. Just to the south of the far east side of the island on which the temple rests is a curved rock sticking out of the water. One sneaky way to get it is to leave an F-Link in a safe place, run like mad to the tower, up the steps, and over the bridge, grab the stone, and F-Link back. Easy! Head back to Zeo and talk with him again. N: Essence Stone in water someplace in Shamazaar. Like most quests in this game, things aren't as easy as they first looked. Believe it or not, Zeo tells you exactly where the stone is, as there's only one body of water aside from the water around the Temple of Fae that contains Sankaar. It's the far northeast lake, located just to the east of the northeast-most temple. As long as you don't draw a lot of attention to yourself, you should be able to make it to this lake and retrieve the real Essence Stone without being noticed. If you are noticed, just grab the stone and run (or better yet, use an F-Link to get back to somewhere safe). Head back to Zeo and give him the stone. Once that's done, head back to Maar and ask him to Stop Riss Production again. N: Remove more soldiers from Shamazaar for Maar. Well, it's time to "remove" some soldiers. There seems to be an exact number of soldiers to be removed: 20. Of course, I could be wrong, but that seems about right. The easiest soldiers to kill are the ones in white, of which there are 20. They can be found in the following locations: guarding the Daoka near the village (4), guarding some supplies just south of the Temple Fae (2), guarding supplies in the raised area to the far west of the village (4,2), guarding supplies southeast of the barrier (4), camping behind the Temple Eluee (2), and camping just south of the barrier (2). Anyway, after killing enough soldier, return to Maar and ask him to Stop Riss Production one more time. If you've killed enough, Maar will finally agree to stop production. Not only will you get a good reputation bonus out of it, but all of the soldiers will be much easier to kill. ======================================================================= 2. Stop Tax Collection ======================================================================= Upon your arrival in Talanzaar, talk with the Talan at the entrance of the city waving to you to get an idea of what's going on here. You should also find a generic Talan and grill him over all aspects of the city. First of all, find Shamaz Zokrace and grill him for information. N: Shamaz Zokrace told me that I can't get the Mon in this region and that I should return at a later time and see him. Next, go see Zot, the leader of Okriana. He's to the east of the palace, in a house to the west of the daoka to Motazaar. Talk to him and ask him to stop paying taxes. N: Zot says Zoss and Heza fight is disturbing other Talan. First of all, find Zoss. He's in the lampe brewer's bok to the north of the palace, just to the east of the daoka to Shamazaar. Talk to him about Heza. N: Zoss is having a problem with Heza. Speak to Heza. Heza travels around the palace counterclockwise, so you'll need to track him down to chat with him about Zoss. Heza tells you what you need to know to get him to lower his prices for Zoss. N: I will try to help Heza by speaking to Yagu, Ominel, and Zakk. Yagu is in the riss bok, west of the palace. You will find him west and just a little north of Shamaz Zokrace's home. Ask him about Heza. N: Yagu wants me to find his brother, Ezef, in Shamazaar. Easy. Just head to Shamazaar, go to the village, and ask around until you find Ezef. He was one of the workers at the temple where you cleared the accident. N: I found Ezef. He wants me to tell Yagu that he's still looking for their father. Return to Yagu with your message and he will agree to lower his price. Zakk is in the builders bok, southwest of the palace. He's dressed in royal blue and is outside a building adjacent to the southwest corner of the palace. Talk with him about Heza, and let him borrow your HK- P12. N: Zakk wants to study the metal on the HK-P12. I should return for it soon. You've got a little time to kill now (and if you haven't bought any other weapons, you're unarmed), so let's visit the third merchant on the list, Ominel. Ominel is in the meat bok, northwest of the palace. He's dressed in green, and stands near his tables of meat. Talk with him about Heza, and about everything else as well. N: Ominel wants and Oogoobar knife to lower his meat price for Heza. N: The Ooogoobar are a primitive race who live in the tree region of Okaar. Wow. It's gonna be a long trip. First, go back to Zakk and collect your HK-P12. Next, head to the daoka that leads to Okasankaar (with the little fish symbol on it). It's through the gap in the wall southwest of the palace. As you arrive in Okasankaar, it would be wise to drop an F-Link at the daoka. You will notice tons of soldiers around, and the best thing to do right now is to avoid them completely. Just start heading due east until you near the building with all the soldiers in it, then make a left turn. Looking at your map, you will see a tiny island in the swamp to the north of this building. Head there, being careful not to go off into the deep water at any point (noted by the blue line on your map). Once you get to this island, you should be able to see a daoka to the northeast, with two rows of floating balls in the water leading to it. Swim to that island, being careful to stay between the floating balls, and go through the daoka to Okaar. As you arrive, you will notice a Fae talan near you. Don't shoot him! He's not a soldier, but a hunter. Go up to him and introduce yourself, and grill him for info. N: A Shamaz is in this region looking for the Mon. N: The Shamaz headed to the east of the Ooogoobar camp. N: The Ooogoobar are to the southeast of the daoka. So, head to the southeast. On the southern "wall" of the region, you'll see an enclosed area. Avoid it (and any Ooogoobar you see, unless you want a fight), and go to the east of this camp to find an altar upon which a Shamaz is about to be sacrificed. Put an end to this little ceremony with your guns, say hi to the Shamaz (you can come back and talk to him later about the Mon), and retrieve the knife from the body of the Ooogoobar priest. Head all the way back to Talanzaar and Ominel, and sell him the knife. Now that you've gotten all of Heza's prices lowered, go back and tell him the good news. Finally, go back to Zoss and tell him the good news. Now that you've settled the fight, go back to Zot and ask him to stop paying taxes again, and this time he'll do it. Without taxes, there will be far fewer soldiers posted all around Adelpha, making your life much easier. ======================================================================= 3. Stop Sankaar Fishing ======================================================================= Stopping the flow of Sankaar to the soldiers has the same effect as stopping Riss production: it effectively halves the life force of the soldiers. Doing both cuts the soldier's life by 3/4, which makes your battles that much easier. You can't proceed in Okasankaar until you've killed all of the soldiers in the city of Okasankaar. See the Okasankaar Mon quest for more information. After you're done cleaning, find the leader, Zernar. He's near the docks, dressed in a dark gray cloak. Ask him about the Sankaar and Cyana, and to Stop Catching the Sankaar, and about the Boat Light and what it needs. N: There is a problem with the boat light. N: Need large piece of helidium from Motazaar to fix boat light for Zernar. Well, it sounds like it's time for a field trip. Head back through the daoka to Talanzaar, and through the daoka in the northeast to Motazaar. Once there, head to the village west of the daoka, find Ashkar, and ask him about the boat light. N: Head to the north mine to find a pure piece of helidium. Head to the far north to find Zine, who will wave at you as you approach if you haven't helped his friend. (See the "Zine's friend" bonus quest). Ask him about the helidium. N: Follow Zine to the rock crusher and see if he finds some helidium. N: Go to Okriana with the new piece of helidium and see Azirad. Do just that. Zine will pick out the rock from the ground, then take it to the rock crusher to the south. The crusher will then do its job, and out will pop a piece of blue helidium. Pick this up, and head back to Talanzaar. Azirad is in the builders bok, southwest of the palace. Give him the helidium, and he'll carve it into a new boat light. You'll have to wait for a few minutes, but you can run some other bonus quests in that time. Return in a few minutes for the boat light, and head back to Okasankaar. N: Azirad has created a new boat light. Q: How many Talans does it take to change a light bulb? A: None. You have to do it. It's just a jump, jump, jump, jump, and jump away, but nine out of ten Talans recommend that you use a Gaamsaav before attempting to change out the light. Once you get up to the platform, simply take the old light and replace it with the new one ("cut helidium"). Once you get down, go talk with Zernar again and tell him you fixed the light, and ask him to stop catching the sankaar. N: Zernar says there are too many soldiers around for his liking. Well, you can surely do something about that now, can't you? Go on a little killing spree (raiding the barracks south of the city will do the trick), then come back to him and ask him again to stop the sankaar flow. He'll do it, and you'll be facing much weaker soldiers from here on out. ======================================================================= 4. Stop Helidium Mining ======================================================================= Upon your arrival in Motazaar, speak with the Talan calling to you near the daoka to find out what's going on. N: Speak with Ashkar. (TO BE CONTINUED...) ======================================================================= D. The Event Quests ======================================================================= 1. Marion in Trouble #1 ======================================================================= Shortly after finding the first Mon, you should receive a transmission from Marion telling you she's in trouble. GN: Marion is trapped in a place that's got a large pyramid. You should be able to ask any generic Talan about this "Event". GN: Go to Okriana. Marion may be there. Assuming you're in Shamazaar, you can head to Talanzaar (in which is the city of Okriana) by going through the Daoka located nearest the village. As you enter the city, at least one generic Talan will wave to you. Ask him "What is Wrong" to find out about Marion. N: Shamaz Zokrace may know where I can find Marion. The Shamaz is located to the West of the palace (the huge building in the middle of town. Ask him about Marion. N: Shamaz Zokrace says that Marion was seen near Zelb's bar. Head to the southwest of the Palace and locate Zelb. No doubt you may encounter a couple of soldier patrols on the way there, so either avoid them or choose a nice _isolated_ location to fight them in. Make sure that neither your or their stray shots will injure any Talans. Zelb's bar is located in a building attached to another building that resides right next to the southwest corner of the palace. Zelb is dressed in red pants and a turban. Greet him. N: Marion is in a house to the west of the Palace Fae. Head back north until you find a group of three soldiers patrolling right in front of a group of four houses. After dispatching the soldiers, go to the house with the bars on the windows and the closed unmarked door to get a nice long cutscene and end the quest. ======================================================================= 2. Marion in Trouble #2 ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 3. Jan in Trouble ======================================================================= ======================================================================= 4. Guardians in Trouble ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Bonus Quests Walkthrough ======================================================================= A. Shamazaar Bonuses ======================================================================= >>>Zolass's Twon-Ha<<< Zolass is a Talan dressed in green standing near south of the Riss Counters (west of the Temple of Fae, not too far from the water). Talk to him to get a bonus quest. N: Ask Zalinass to deliver Twon-Ha for Zolass. Zalinass is the Twon-Ha loving Talan in the village. He's dressed in a light blue robe, and can always be found near one of the two Twon-Ha pens. N: Deliver Twon-Ha to Zolass. Go to the pen in the center of town, pull out the gui, and lead the Twon-Ha with the two bags of Riss back to Zolass. It's much easier if you've cleared the path of soldiers first. Talk to Zolass and give him back his gui. N: Give message to Zalinass. N: There are sticks marking off secret stashes of goods in the mud around this region. Head back to Zalinass and give him the message from Zolass. This completes the quest and gives you a discount should you decide to buy a Twon-Ha. In case you didn't notice them before, look out for those sticks. Each contains a cache of goodies for you to use. I've personally managed to find 11 of these, but there are probably more. >>>Accident at the Temple Ka<<< If you visit the Temple Ka (the southern of the two temples right next to one another), you'll find that there's been an accident by speaking with the yelling Talan there. N: A worker at a temple wants the Yods to destroy an accident with some dynamite. N: Ask Riss Counters near Temple Fae water about dynamite. If you don't have any dynamite, head over to the Riss Counters. They're right next to the water to the east of the Temple Fae. Each of the Riss Counters has a different story about where some dynamite is located (in the water SE of the temple Fae Once you've got some dynamite, tell the worker at the temple to clear his men out. Once they're clear, run up the steps and place a piece of dynamite near the accident. Either shoot it or trigger it to clear the wreck. Go have a chat with the foreman after the big show for a reward, and you can also talk with the two workers as well. >>>Gamors Attacking the Twon-Has<<< At some random point in the game (once you've already talked to Zalinass for one reason or another, and always after at least one load or world move), the generic Talans will call out to you. Ask them about the "Event", and they'll tell you that Zalinass is looking for you. N: Zalinass has some type of problem. Hunt down Zalinass, and ask him about his problem. N: Kill Gamors that are far east of the village. Head to the southeast corner of the world, and kill the five Gamors that are there. That's it! Once you're done, head back to Zalinass and tell him the good news and get a reward. ======================================================================= B. Talanzaar Bonuses ======================================================================= (Quests I haven't verified and/or finished writing about yet are marked with an asterisk) >>>Nikaa's Loan<<< Nikaa is in the riss bok to the west of the palace, near the western wall. Talk with him...her...whatever... N: Nikaa wants a loan of some Zorkins. If you've got the cash, give h...ummm, Nikaa the loan. N: Return later to get loan back from Nikaa. Wander around for a bit, and later come back and collect on the loan. Easy, if not a little disconcerting. >>>Azirad's Necklace<<< Azirad, the helidium carver, is located in the builder's bok to the southwest of the temple. Once you've introduced yourself, ask him about the thief. N: Azirad had a necklace stolen. He lost the thief somewhere in the construction supply bok. Thief or no, the necklace is lying on the ground in the bok. Go to the construction supply bok, and look in between the buildings on a straight line south of the western edge of the small building in the armory that you can see on your map. The "Crafted Material" you will find is the necklace, which you can quickly return to Azirad for a reward. >>>Heza's Well<<< Heza is the water merchant in Okriana, always traveling with his cart full of water. Once you track him down, ask him about the problem with his well. N: Heza has a problem at his well. I should find Zade if I want to learn more. Zade is at the well just south of the palace. Speak to him to find out about this problem. N: Zade says there's some large rocks blocking the bottom of the well. If you don't have an LN500-DUO (no upgrades necessary, but level 1 is useful), you'll need one. They can be purchased from the Sacred Objects Merchants in town. Once you have one, you'll need to tell Zade to "Clear Out" before attempting your handiwork. Once the area is clear, walk up the stairs that are just to the north of the well and line yourself up with the doorway of the second building to your west (just a step or two back of the top of the stairs). Then, just aim and fire at the center of the well. It may take a few tries, but you'll know you're successful when you see the blue plume of water shoot out of the well and all the Talans start shuffling back. Talk to Zade when you're done, and then go find Heza and tell him the good news as well for a reward. >>>Mogad's Box<<< In the construction bok east of the temple, you will find Mogad. You can't miss him, because he's standing next to a crane with a box swinging wildly out of control. Speak with him about it. N: A large box is loose. Try and stop it for Mogad. The HK-P12 or UZA-SH1 are perfect for this job. It also helps to use first-person mode (press the CTRL key). Stand where the box is swinging towards you, and each time it begins its swing back towards you, shoot it. You may need to move around a bit to get your shots right (line up with the box's swing as much as possible), but it should only take around 10 shots to get the box still. Once you've done that, just talk to Mogad again for a reward. >>>Tezu's Pots<<< Tezu is in the pottery bok, surrounded by his pots just to the south and east of the palace. Speak with him about his pots, and assuming that you've shot a pot or two at some point, you can admit to breaking a few pots to get a small reward. >>>Gizo's Bracelet<<< Gizo is in the fish bok, along the southernmost wall of the city, just a little west of center. Speak with him to get another quest. N: Gizo would like me to find the Talan in Okasankaar that this bracelet belongs to. Once you've killed all the soldiers in the city of Cyana (see the Cyana Mon and/or resource quests for more information), you should be able to ask any generic Talan about the owner of the bracelet. The owner is Zele, who stands at the docks of Cyana in maroon pants and hat. After he's done depreciating himself, give him the braclet. N: Zele wants me to return a reward to Gizo. The next time you're in Talanzaar, just head back to Gizo and let him know that you returned it. >>>Jokace's Skins<<< In the animal skin bok (southeast of the temple), Jokace is against the southern wall to the east of center. Talk with him about his problems. N: Jokace needs something sticky for his animal skin project. In Okasankaar, you will no doubt encounter some zeedogs (see the Mon quest for more information). When killed, these creatures spit out a gland that's very sticky indeed. Once you've repaired Sadar's boat, head back to Jokace and ask him about zeedog glands. N: Jokace thinks four zeedog glands would help him. You should have at least four glands (and if you don't, I bet you wish you would have read ahead, eh?), so give them to him for a reward. You can also sell any extra glands you have to him as well. >>>Shadi's Lampe Delivery<<< First of all, find Zoss, the Lampe brewer just to the east of the daoka leading to Shamazaar and speak with him about Lampe. N: Lampe is a drink which has been known to put soldiers to sleep. Next, find Zagu in the spice bok (east of the palace), where he's got an outdoor shop tucked in a corner behind some buildings. Ask him about his spices, about Lampe, and about daguerach. N: Zagu mentioned something about spicing food and drinks. N: Bring 5 lampe and 1 daguerach to Zagu to make a drugged lampe. Hmmmm... This could be interesting. Next, find Shadi. Shadi is a musician with an orange turban and pants playing a flute (in fact, the only one in the entire city who plays well). He's just south of the well, standing between some buildings. Talk to him for a bit, then give him 50 zorkins three times, and he'll offer to do a favor for you. N: The musician Shadi makes trips to deliver lampe to the soldier barracks. Now, it looks like all we need is some daguerach, and we'll get some sleepy soldiers. Daguerach can only be found in Okasankaar, and you'll do it as part of the Mon quest there. Once you have some extra daguerach, you can begin. First, head back to Zoss and buy five lampe. Next, go to Zagu and give him the ingredients to get some "Good Moon Lampe". Finally, head to Shadi and give him the drugged lampe to take to the barracks. Follow Shadi to the barracks and wait for him to finish. It will take him several minutes to knock the soldiers out (over half of them), so you may want to go do some other things in town. Or, you can just watch him using your x-ray specs. Once he's left the barracks, you should be able to mop up the remaining standing soldiers with either sneaky or direct methods, and the knocked out soldiers die with a single shot. There's a ton of goodies in there, so it's not a bad idea to do some cleaning up. >>>Mored's Hoti<<< Mored is located in the fruit bok east of the palace, just south of the daoka to Motazaar. Speak with him about his proposal. N: Mored wants me to bring him 10 hoti from Okaar. Okaar can only be accessed by going through Okasankaar, and its daoka is on an island to the northeast of the Talanzaar daoka. Once you're there, you'll find Hoti lying all over the place. Just grab 10 while you're there, and bring them back to Mored. If you have extras, Mored will also buy those from you, but be sure to keep some for yourself if you're going for 100% bonus quests and you haven't completed the Motazaar quests yet. >>>The Miner's Song<<< An old miner is south of the palace near the well singing. Talk with him about his singing. N: I met a beggar near the well who wants me to sing some mining song with him. In Motazaar, there's quite a few miners singing this song. Just listen and remember, and then come back and sing along with the miner. Of course, it's easier if you know the words... Just sing: Milea Ko... Lepta Mae... Labta Ulukai... Kata Mea... And you will get a gui from a twon-ha that ran away in Shamazaar. Head to Shamazaar and go to the area to the far east of the village near the daoka to Ranzaar. One of the twon-ha there is the one that ran away, so go up to it and mount it, and you've got a free twon-ha. >>>Mogi's Story<<< Mogi is a slave who is on a straight line just south of Zot's house, just outside the buildings that his house is connected to. Go listed to Mogi's story and give him some zorkins. This just furthers along the plot a bit, but it's a good story. Oh, and you get a decent bit of ammo, too. *>>>Azirad's Upgrades<<< Azirad, the helidium carver, is located in the builder's bok to the southwest of the temple. He also has a problem with the thief, but that's another quest. Ask him about his carving. N: Azirad thinks he can enhance any of my energy weapons. Once you have bought one from one of the Sacred Object Merchants, show him your HAWK-MK8. N: Azirad told me that he can try and make my HAWK-MK8 more powerful, if I just bring him a really large piece of helidium. There are two really large pieces of helidium you will find in the game. The first is from the boat light in Okasankaar (see the Stop Sankaar Fishing section above). Take this light to Azirad and he'll give you the Level 1 upgrade for your HAWK-MK8 if you give him a few minutes. *>>>Balazar's Relic<<< Balazar is in the fruit bok, along the eastern wall of the city. Talk to him and ask him about his problem. N: Balzar wants me to find a relic outside the walls of Okriana. The relic is located outside the city walls, just west of the where the armory is located. Give him the relic, but don't sell it to him yet. Ask him how to clean the thing. N: Now Balazar wants me to clean this relic while fighting an achondar in Okaar. Sounds fun, doesn't it? Head to Okaar (via Okasankaar) and talk with Kyuran about the achondar. N: Kyuran spoke of the Achondar seeing only heat or using sound to find its prey. ======================================================================= C. Okasankaar Bonuses ======================================================================= (Quests I haven't verified and/or finished writing about yet are marked with an asterisk) >>>Zafar's Stand<<< Zafar is dressed in yellow and has a shop on the east side of Cyana. Once you're directed to him during the Mon quest, he'll ask you about a job you can do. N: Zafar wants me to watch his stand and stop anyone who takes from it when he is not there. Stand on the stairs going into the water next to the stand. Eventually, you'll see a Talan steal some zorkins from the crate. Run after him and tell him you saw him (his name is Ylia, for future reference), but don't turn him in and offer to repay the 100 zorkins for him. Finally, ask him about his secret. N: Zidar can take me to a secret stash of treasure in the water. Zafar will return to his stand shortly, and you can tell him you caught the thief and get a booyat or small reward in return. Zidar is the southern boatman at the docks. Talk to him, tell him Ylia sent you, and he'll take you to a spot where you can go diving for goodies. When you come back up for air for a long time, Zidar will start rowing back. Stay close to the boat to stay alive (the Sangeeta in the water will instantly kill you, but they don't go near boats), and climb up the stairs to the north to get back on dry land once you're within the barrier. N: Zele will buy any Zort I find. *>>>Oru and Kyuran<<< While you're talking with Oru (see the Mon quest), you can ask him about a Talan named Kyuran. N: Oru talked about some Talan named Kyuran. While Oru is still alive, find Kyuran. He is the hunter near the daoka in Okaar. Talk with him about Oru and the Gorgor. N: Oru owes Kyuran a case of Lampe. Head back to Oru and tell him you talked to Kyuran. N: Give the message from Oru to Kyuran. Don't you just love playing messenger? Head back to Kyuran and tell him the news. That's all there is to do until you've battled the Gorgor. Once you've done that, head back to Kyuran and collect some zorkins. *>>>Zele's Zort<<< Zele stands at the docks of Cyana in maroon pants and hat. Ask him about the zort. *>>>Egar's Crate<<< *>>>Zidar's Friend<<< ======================================================================= D. Motazaar Bonuses ======================================================================= (Quests I haven't verified and/or finished writing about yet are marked with an asterisk) >>>Zine's Friend<<< Zine is a miner who works at the north mine (directly north of the village). As you approach, you'll see him standing near a friend of his that has fallen. Ask him about his friend. N: Zine wants me to bring him two faenea to heal his friend. Head east, and then go through the tiny passage to the north near the moving bridge. To the west will be several plants that will shoot at you as you approach. Pick up at least two of the fruit they drop when they shoot, and bring them back to Zine. *>>>Mobarr's Twon-Ha<<< *>>>Ashkar's Thief<<< *>>>Zogard's Mine<<< ----------------------------------------------------------------------- V.
