A Little About Me
------------------
I decided to add this section because of several questions that I have
received about me. Mostly it has been where am I and what do I do. Well,
here is a bit about me.
I am currently living in Hampton, VA. For those of you that are outside the
United States, I'm in Virginia. I work full time in the United States Air
Force.
Just recently I had my first child. She is absolutely the biggest blessing
of my life. Her name is Aurora McKaille (McKaille is her middle name). She
was born on 11 September.
Well, other than that, life is grand.

Version History
----------------
10.14.02: The FAQ is born!
10.22.02: I've added a bit more info to the quests section and I have also
added more to the teleporters. There is now more, in-depth information about
potion making. I have also done some reformatting to make it a bit more user
friendly.
10.27.02: Just added more information, nothing big.

The Quests
-----------
The following information is only the quests and how to solve them. Since
this game is, for the most part, open-ended, there is really no way to write
a 'walkthrough.'
The quests that I have all the information for are listed first; otherwise,
they are in alphabetical order. All the quests are with their game title and
information. Not all of them are complete, but as I get more information, I
will update the FAQ.
Also, a quick and easy way to find a specific quest, hit CTRL-F. In the
window type the name of the quest or a keyword or two and hit enter.
If you have any information to add, just drop me an email.
These are the quests with complete information...

not the bed, of course). In the cellar you move the barrels away and find the
room with Buad's tea.
- Well, I read the book, and am trying to get the invisibility ring. Haven't
succeeded yet: Tried throwing the book into the open tea barrel, moved it on
the shiny blue spot, tried to throw those potions in there, used the special
gloves, you find there etc. But I'm not giving up!!! VERY IMPORTANT: Don't
move the open tea about, it explodes, shut tea may be moved around safely.
It's also highly poisonous supposed to kill the talking tree in Dark Forest.
The Summoning Ritual
- Branch: Found in the Dark Forrest But I suggest doing the alchemist quest
at the same time, then you can get the I want the herbs response, then tell
it there are woodcutters close and he'll let you get the herbs (and you can
nick a branch at the same time).
- Book: Free Penumbra from Thieves Guild; get her dagger at the same place
where you get the magic lock picks. (After this you can get the "Special
Treatment" in the whore's house.
- Bottle of Wine at the wine seller in Verdistis you get instructions where
to get it.
Find Teleport Stones
- The teleport stones you can get back after you defeat the Succubus in the
Council of Seven area. Look in the west of that area for the Imp who stole
them.
Borathus The Mage
- Kill Boratus (flag on your map).
- Go to the Dwarven Halls and visit the healer in those halls. Look for talk
option about the grail.
- Leave the halls for the Dark Forest, move south, staying close to the
mountains. Take the left bend where you can see a bit of a castle. At the end
of this cove is a cave: pile of rocks and tree stump. Beware of traps down
there.
- Get the grail and take it back to the Dwarven healer
Diamonds are a girl's best friend (The Necklace quest)
- Go to the jeweler in the dwarf's halls. If you show him the picture of the
necklace, he makes a copy of it for you.
Stone Axe Quest
- The cave-in the mines will be open. There is a wooden barrier somewhere in
the cave, but it's one level deeper.
- In order to proceed through this cave-in you have to know the password for
the sentry. The drunkard burgomaster in the dwarf's village will give it away
for some ale, try being friendly to him and get the ale from Rimmer.
- After succeeding don't forget the letter revealing the king's brother
treachery.
- If you complete the Axe quest by giving it to the king you get the Armor
quest. If you complete the axe quest by taking it back to the town yourself
and talking to that priestly type you don't get the armor quest!
Council Of Seven
- Zandalor will join first since he is already there.
- Mardaneus: simply walk over to Lanilor's house (just north of Mardaneus')
and open the door an evil woman (Demona) attacks you, kill her and grab the
key to Mardaneus' house.
- Goemoe: First you must talk with one of the other healers, then you must go
back to the Council of Seven and touch the statue again (you should see a
snake). Then travel to Verdistis and go to merchant guild. Talk with the boss
and go to the house he means.
- Eoulus should be in the Dwarven Village, after you finish the quest he will
be in the house below the stone axe.
- Find the Imp, and he will tell you to touch a magic sphere and say a word
to enter a magic world. Do this at once since this the only option you will
get. Once inside help the bees against the wasps, while taking care not to
kill any bees or the quest will fail. Click on the sphere again to leave the
place.
- Bronthion will be in the Elves compound in Dark Forest, if not go to
Archer's guild and talk to the elf there.
- Orc: is found in one of the four prisons south of the Orc Supply Train
Wishing Well
- The best result you get is a whole level up by spending 1000 gold and
choosing experience. Try to wait with the well until the last possible moment
before ascending. Gives you more bang for your buck so to speak.
Kill the five Black Ring Members
- If you go back to the main platform, where your exit path lies (middle),
you see 5 paths, reading from left to right:
Josephine - Moriendor - Iona - exit path - Demona - Cornelius.

Special Items
--------------
The following is more information given to me by SpiderDude. I haven't run
into any of this stuff in the game yet, so I am not exactly sure what is
what.
Chaos Sword
- The Sword of Chaos is found under a rock pile, where you have to remove
boulders and a tree stump on top of it is found east of the Dwarven
village in the woods.
Devine Artifacts
- Dagger: Book in Thieves Guild
- Amulet: Amulet in the Elven Ruins at Dark Forrest, where you solve the urn
quest
- Sword: in Iona's dungeon, chamber of illusions. In the near of that room
is a candle, a pentagram and a skeleton. Put out the candle and the wall
will disappear.
You have to sacrifice the 3 pieces to get the holy weapon. The entry to the
cave can be found northwest from the graveyard teleporter or north and
slightly to the east from the church. There is a little group of trees and
bushes. The entry is hidden in there. Go down and DON'T, I repeat don't, open
the sarcophagus. Place yourself in the right blue circle and click on the
statue. Save before sacrificing and reload until you get the weapon you want.
Treasure cave/ Silver Armor
- The 1st map is in a spider hole (near the elves teleporter)
- The 2nd map you get from 'Mpenzak' in Verdistis.
- The 3rd map in the sewers of Verdistis in the northeast within a corpse.
- The 4th map is in the hall of the dwarfs (near the entry to the mines is a
small prison - you need lock pick level 4 to open the door).
The armor itself is found in the Stalker cave, get the quest first from an
old hermit standing somewhat south of the urn collectors in the Dark Forest.
The Treasure cave is in the Northwest corner of the Dark Forest, near the
mountains, hidden under trees. Go to each cove (2nd one) and press the ALT
key or move the mouse slowly over bushes and trees. If you've found it, look
for 3 crystals laid in blue bowls. Collect them (drag and drop to your
inventory) and go south in this dungeon to an empty grey bowl, put them in
(one by one) and proceed through the new opening. In next area just place one
of your teleporter stones (very important) near the chests, put your loot in
them. And leave a teleporter stone since there is no way to return, because
the teleporter in the Easter egg area does not function. Make sure you have
this in your inventory:
- Silver Armor
- Stack of 5 Ale from Rimmer
- Exactly 2002 Gold
- 4 ropes (the ones in that same cave)
Use the ropes on the prisons when you have opened them up. You have to use
those ropes on the trapdoors in order to proceed under earth. You're warned
about some imprisoned monsters. If you go there, kill all those "bugs" and
talk to Sven later on, he will thank and reward you.
Dragon Set
- The belt is in an abandoned house of Verdistis. The house should be to the
WEST of the town. When you get inside and walk towards the hatch, the
floor will break and you'll land in the basement.
- The shield is in the armory of the Stormfist castle. If you were already
kicked out, approach the entrance, and fling your pyramid through the
entrance and you'll be able to visit the castle again (just avoid making a
mess because this seems to be an exploit and not something intended).
- The gloves are in one of the burial pyres in the Elves Burial to the
south. keep looking out for a selectable pyre cuz it's the only one that
has anything inside.
- The quest to get the armor is given to you by the dwarf king. To enable
it you MUST bring a note from the caves (same caves where you get the ax)
that proves the king brother's guilt (it's a study in the very north east
corner of the caves). It's hard to get because you must defeat an
extremely tough wizard to get there. When you are about to enter the
throne room, you might need to use the fling trick (just throw the note
inside the room and pick it up after the checkpoint) to get the note past
the checkpoint where the guards take all your stuff away temporarily.
After you talk about the note's subject, the king will tell you that you
need to get the armor and the dragon heart. If you complete the Axe quest
by giving it to the king you get the armor quest. If you complete the axe
quest by taking it back to the town yourself and talking to that priestly
type you don't get the armor quest!
Armor: go to Sir Patrick at Verdistis and after you ask him, he'll send you
on a simple and quick errand (be sure to have 2500 gold handy).
Dragon heart: This is another tough one. Go to the warrior's guild and ask
for admission. After the first quest, you'll be sent to retrieve it. I hope
you didn't kill the dragon rider in the imp's castle before the quest was
given.
After you have both, just go to the dwarfs' smith at the halls and after a
day's work hell have the plate ready.
- Show the restored dragon armor to the dwarf king (get it through the
checkpoint) and you'll get the helm.

Skills
-------
This is even more stuff that was given to me by SpiderDude.
Also, throughout the game, there are several spell books laying about. I
would like a list of all the books and their locations. If anyone has this
information or even part of it, I would like to have it. Naturally, anyone
that provides me information will get full credit.
Free Skills:
- Trader's Tongue: In the blue boar inn at the bar you will find a man
named EL'GAMMON. If you talk to him he will try to sell you useless goods.
Buy all of them until he doesn't have any left and then talk to him again.
- Trader's Tongue: 3 books in the Merchant guild library. 1st book, bottom
left-hand room, middle table. 2nd book, on top of bookshelf in north part
of same room. 3rd book, northwest door, behind one of the covered chairs
near the north wall.
- Identify item: gained from doing the broken wheel quest for the stuck cart
drivers.
- Alchemy: do easy quest for the alchemist in the dark forest.
- Restoration: learn from Goemoe in Aleroth after you heal both sick
soldiers and learn from the statue in Nericon's garden after answering its
riddles.
- Lock pick: learn from Rob after joining thieves' guild
- Lock pick: talk to the guy in the thieves' guild base, take him on the
bet, and unlock four doors, which requires you have 4 lock pick. Talk to
him again, and he is impressed, and will teach you one level of lock pick,
so you can open the last and fifth door which needs 5

council member.

locations with them.

resistances at level 5

--------
Potions
--------
To make a potion, you need alchemy skill of at least 2. Walk up to a patch
of mushrooms or herbs. Open your inventory up. Drag a flask over the
herb/mushroom until it blinks. Then unclick the flask and voila instant
potion!
Herbs:
Purple = Healing
White = Stamina
Blue = Magic
Mushrooms:
Red = Healing
Blue = Magic
White = Poison
Orange = Stamina
Flasks:
Small Flask = Minor Potion = Alchemy skill: 2
Flask = Potion = Alchemy skill: 3
Large Flask = Super Potion = Alchemy skill: 4
Mixing Potions:
To mix potions, you need alchemy skill of at least 1. Open your inventory.
Drag one potion over the other until it blinks. Unclick the potion.
- Red + blue = white (restoration)
- Yellow + blue = black (shadow potion, invisibility)
- Yellow + red = orange (strength)
- Yellow + white= purple (temporary resistance)
- Augmentor makes a potion larger
Drudanea / Super Drugs
If you use a empty potion bottle on some Drudanea (that stuff George the
shopkeeper asked for at the start) then you get Super Drug (need alchemy 2).
Drink it and it seems to permanently change your stats, +100 to poison -100
to Spirit.

Gameplay Tips
--------------
Duplicating Items
First, quicksave and open your inventory then click on the item you wish to
duplicate and drag it to the play area but don't drop it. Then press Ctrl-L
while still having the left mouse button clicked on the play area and when
you see the bar starting to fill up release it. If you did it correctly (and
there was no X over the item at the part of the play area that you had the
mouse over) then the item should drop where you pointed it before loading and
also be on the inventory. So far this trick has worked for me on charms
potions skill-books money weapons (though nothing unique, I haven't tried
anything unique so far) and the teleportation pyramids (though I reloaded
just in case it got stuck) it should work with everything.
Robbing People
- When you put a barrel or a chest in your inventory and drag all items
directly into it, you can rob just about everything with no one accusing
you of theft, just be sure to be on your own when taking the items out of
the chest and in your inventory.
- For the Rivertown alchemist back room who will lock the door when you try
to get in try this: Open the door, but don't step through the doorway,
throw the pyramid through into the corridor, then close the door again.
Now you should be able to pyramid in and out.
- Move the whole container that the item is in out of the house (nobody says
anything about it but the merchants but if when you release the button and
then click somewhere outside the shop you can leave the shop before he
tells you anything).
- For items inside cupboards that you can't move, you can do the same thing
as above only you have to move each item individually after you open the
cupboard.
Using Charm Enchantments
- If you collect a lot of enchantments, and you can only enchant one gem
spot, click the item you want to enchant several times. Fill them all one
by one, and then close them. This way I made a sword with over 20
enchantments.
- In the last part of the game two vendors offer gold versions, it could be
a good idea to save some spots for those.
Portable Bed
- In a house near the abbey you can find a portable bed. You're able to move
it to your inventory.
- You can also get a couple of bales of hay and spread them on the ground
making a bed that you can reuse.
Fast Experience
- Find two powerful enemies that give a hefty chunk of experience,
preferably ones that are a little way apart. (For those at the end of the
game a couple of blue dragon riders are perfect. 10000 experience per
time).
- Kill the first one (and any accompanying enemies), and then use resurrect
to bring them back to life. They'll be shown as allies, but if you walk
far enough away they'll revert back to being enemies. Go to where the
other enemy is, and repeat. Walk back to the other enemy, and they should
now be hostile again. You can kill them again for more experience. You can
then resurrect them, walk to other enemy and kill/resurrect them... repeat
between enemies until you have suitable levels.
- Warnings: This can be a time consuming method. Especially at higher
levels. If you need to sleep whilst doing this, make sure all enemies are
hostile. If any are friendly they will die when you sleep. (And you can't
resurrect them.) Also, make sure that any surrounding enemies can't kill
them whilst they're friendly. If they die, they can't be resurrected
either.
Failed Item Quests workaround
If you messed up the Holy Weapons quest AND are through with all other
quests you can complete and are ready to go bang the gong, this could work
for you. Do this right before you go to the gong as some of the world
changes. First, save your game outside the entry stairs at the Holy Weapons
conversion site. Second, start a new game and immediately save it. Third,
open the Divinity file (windows Explorer), go to saved games and copy your
"good" saved game into another directory. If this FIX doesn't work for you,
just copy the saved "good" game back to its original spot under saved games.
Now, move the data, Items and Inv files from your "good" saved game to the
new saved game. When you do this and load the new game to start playing, your
character should still be exactly the same (stats, items and all) but when
you go down the stairs, you will be able to complete the quest and get an
awesome ONE HANDED SWORD! The quest will still be listed in your book, but
you get lots of experience points and the sword. Now walk to the blacksmith
above the merchants and have him ID the sword. Now save under a new name,
just in case! Go back to your files and move the new Data, Items and Inv
files back from that last save to your "good" save and load up that game. You
will still be in the blacksmith's room, and the door is locked - just click
on him and it opens. Go to the teleporter out back and back to the gong and
continue the game! JUST BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL GOOD SAVE! Good Luck.
General Gameplay
- Due to the high level of item interaction, some puzzles or quests require
you to move boxes and stuff around to reveal a secret hatch, door or
lever. If you ever see a bunch of stuff (boxes or such) piled up, chances
are that there's something underneath or hidden by them, just grab them
and move them aside. There might be the key that you are looking for.
- Make sure to at least click on the books and manuscripts lying around,
I've found a few puzzles where the big clues are found in manuscripts or
books nearby.
- When you're just running around in the wilderness, use your ALT key to
highlight items that might be stashed away behind bushes or trees. I've
run across about 10 potions just sitting underneath a tree, but you can't
see them if you're just running by. The ALT key is your friend.
- You can actually pick up CHESTS or BARRELS by dragging them into your
inventory window.... then place them at your home base so you can stash
loot in them. Also any CHESTS that you can't pick lock or open now, just
take them to your home base so you can deal with them later.
- Even one level of Poison is REALLY handy. It even helps you run away
sometimes because a monster that's been poisoned can't move that fast,
they sort of move around in a very jerky motion as the poison is working.
- Any weapons that have COLD damage will FREEZE opponents when you hit
them... combine that with Poison and you can take out much larger groups
just by whacking each monster frozen while the poison takes over. You can
hit one monster after another and soon you have 5 frozen Orcs
simultaneously dying from poison. It's even better when you have the STUN
skill.
- Read your journal, it seems obvious but it's not really... the journal
actually contains hints that you may not have picked up during your
conversations with NPCs.
- Don't sweat it if you can't figure something out... go explore for a bit,
there's tons of quests and things to do in the world of Divinity. Make
sure to mark in on your map so you can come back later.
Definitely DON'T DO IT tips
- Don't enter Commander Ralph's room. He'll kick you out and lock the door
breaking a quest. A big one!
- Don't use the key for the Gardens on the Graveyard first. It causes a
break by not then working for the Gardens!
- Don't open any one of the four tombs in the holy weapon secret room. It
breaks a very hard to complete quest!
- Don't kill the assassin before finding the clues (corpses) at the burning
wagon and the secret hideaway there; you'll probably bust the quest!
- Don't get the sword from the stone and then leave the Dark woods, when you
return almost every living thing, including the elves will be dead!
- Don't hit the gong before finishing all your open quests, you won't be
able to go back after that!
- Don't refuse to touch the imp's ball! Eh? That sounded a bit perverted =)
But anyway, you get only one chance to do so!
