How to Use This Guide
---------------------
The subquests are grouped according to where they get activated. NPCs critical
to any subquests are listed together with their locations right after each Map
heading. Many quests can only be activated mid to late game so don't worry too
much if you cannot speak to some NPCs yet. You will know a subquest is up when
you see ! or ? on their heads. If you still cannot speak to them when the sign
is on then YES IT'S A BUG. It happens often enough to make you want to throw
your comp out of the window, hopefully it gets better with future patches.
So anyways there are two possibilities why you are looking at this guide. One,
you are stuck. For that go to the section where you first got the quest, find
the quest in question and follow the steps. Two, you are missing some quests
and want to find out what you missed. For that check the list below to see
what you are missing, go the the respective sections to see the quests in
details, and follow the steps. Some quests are dependent on other quests and
if you do one the wrong way you lose the chance to do the other altogether.
Fortunately most quest rewards are not too important, or precioussssssssssss,
just make sure you complete Amra and Lea, Shadow World, the Soulstones,
Earthblade, and the mosaic quest.
To get a quest, you must fulfil the activator requirement. Usually that is by
speaking with the activator. Some subquests are activated by finding certain
objects or monuments. These are all specified in the guide.
To find specific content, the Find function under the Edit menu in your
internet browser or notepad is your best friend.
If you think your problem could be a common one, it is. Please refer to the FAQ
section before asking for help anywhere.
------------------------------
Symbols, Terminology and Notes
------------------------------
Directions are indicated by [N S E W NS NW SE SW], N = North and so on.
NW NNW N NNE NE
WNW ENE If you impose this diagram on the minimap in your game
W central E screen, you will pretty much know what I am talking
WSW ESE about when I specify locations.
SW SSW S SSE SE
Monsters are usually listed as [XXX lv# xyz - @] XXX being name of monster,
lv# monster level, xyz location, @ quest artefacts on monster. Monster levels
are not very important, except in cases where the "bosses" are of levels much
higher than the general difficulty level of the map, such as Udwin in From the
Deep. When that happens, you should continue with your main quests and return
to complete these subquests when you are higher level.
NPCs are usually listed as [XXX in xyz] XXX being name of NPC, xyz location.
Used when the NPC required to continue the quest is on a different map. If xyz
is missing, the NPC is on the same map. You will find it useful if you
familiarise yourself with the names of NPCs and maps.

dwarf monument, kill them all, investigate the grave and kill the
new batch of Avengers and the End of All Hope lv30 that appears
*the Avengers come in swarms, it is a good idea to built up an army
of some elite and lots of defenders before fighting them. If you
have Area Pain, Extinct and/or Aura of Light, this is where they
can come into good use. The End of All Hope is really what its
name suggests, get ready for a good fight*
Kill Ghost of Amra lv16
[ rewards ] Amra's Chestplate, Amra's Greaves and Experience
[ notes ] This is the longest subquest in the game, spanning the latter half

Talk to Kraga and offer to stand guard
Some trolls will appear to rob the treasure after Kraga leaves,
kill them
You will have two choices
[1] Plunder!
Move into the cave and Kraga will turn hostile
Kill him and loot everything
[2] Guard!
Wait for Kraga to kill Braga
Talk to Kraga when he returns
[ rewards ] Depending on which route you choose, [1] nets you some mid-high
level gear, [2] gets you Ring of the Acolyte, Experience and good
Karma
[ notes ] This is one of few quests with multiple paths. You can actually do
both! Here's how: first choose to guard, wait for Kraga to return
and claim reward. The quest closes here, but you can still move in
into the cave, which make Kraga hostile. Kill and loot. You get the
Gemstone ring, one of best rings in game, Kraga just got back from
Braga and very bad Karma for being a backstabbing backsliding pig.
Your choice.
*I suspect there is a third path, for once the questlog screwed up
when I killed Kraga and got the message "return the Gemstone to
Kraga", which suggests the possibility of retrieving Gemstone for
Kraga, but I cannot figure out how to go about doing that.*

remove it from the quest list by killing Halicos in Farlorn's Hope
with orcish troops. There is not much reason to do that, except to
get a Coin from Halicos's body, which could possibly be part of a
subquest that is currently disabled or not yet implemented.

for a useless reward.

Mountain. Investigate it and enter the sequence eye-blood-hand-hand-blood-eye,
you will fight Erin and get a Star Shape Amulet, which you use to open a
treasure chest a few screens W of the pillar. The clues to solving the riddle
are etched on the gravestones scattered around the pillar.
------
Mosaic
------
Talk to Jon in Greydusk Vale and get the First Piece of Mosaic. Go to Whisper
and investigate the altar guarded by Guardian of the Mosaic in the N. Kill the
Keeper that appears to get the Second Piece. Insert the Second Piece into the
altar and kill the next Keeper that appears. Keep doing this until you complete
the Mosaic. The monsters you encounter in this quest are between lv16 and lv22
so be careful. The location of the Keepers will be reveal in the mini map, keep
your eyes open. You should complete Whisper's main quest before doing this
quest to avoid confusion. The Keepers are all located on the central-E line.
You get experience and many random lv12 spells from this quest, this may not
matter much to melee players, but if you are playing a mage, you can use the
quicksave/quickload trick before looting any of the corpses to reroll the magic
type drop. *quicksave - F7, quickload - F9*
-----

-----
*you must first complete the Tooth Crusher's Pliers subquest*

Sell it to Seno in Greyfell for cash and experience
--------------
Beastman Manes
--------------
Ashawe in Eloni pays you 1 silver for each Beastman Manes you bring her. You
also gain some experience. You find them on Beastmen in S Eloni and Clawrippers
in Southern Windwalls and Stoneblade Mountain.
This is similar to the Wolfsign subquest. You can sell the Manes to regular
vendors for more cash, but you get no experience in return.

Kill Bandit Leader lv4 SW Liannon - Wanted Poster for Celen, Old Dwarven Axe
for Sunder
You know what to do. You get some cash, mediocre gear and experience

APPENDIX

---------------------
Stone of Eternal Fire
---------------------
The Stone of Eternal Fire is required for several quests, namely
Spellwork
Earthblade
Stonecrusher
There are just enough of them to complete all those quests. The locations are
Fafna N Eloni
Fire Skeleton N Leafshade
Zyrafyr E Southern Windwalls
Fyrmir N Farlorn's Hope
Faurung NW Farlorn's Hope
Chest in W The Rift *chest is locked with Glowing Red Key obtainable from

-----------------------
Broks, Jons and Sunders
-----------------------
There are two Broks, two Jons and two Sunders in this game. One Brok is the
human guard in Liannon, the other is the dwarf miner in Farlorn's Hope. One Jon
is Greywind in Greydusk Vale and the other is Farlorn in Farlorn's Hope. One
Sunder is the blacksmith in Liannon, the other is a villager in Godwall. Their
paths do not cross, so do not get confused and talk to the wrong Brok, Jon or
Sunder.
--------------
Leftover Items
--------------
These unique items were probably intended for subquests that never got
implemented. You can sell them for cash for now.
Coins
Broken Dwarven items
Liannon Brandy *try offering it to Hinrik*
Wildling Fur
Sign of a Fist
Pledge of the Gods *cannot be sold*

All gems can be sold, just keep one Sapphire for the Cataract subquest and one
Malachite for the Wound Tincture subquest.
All mushrooms can be sold, just keep one of each for A Poison Dwarf subquest.
All Beastman Manes can be sold, just keep three for Predator's Fur subquest.
*see also Beastman Manes under UNLISTED SUBQUESTS*
Everything else can be sold.
----
Bugs
----
Here are some subquest related bugs. I am not going to talk about the rest. :P
Inabilty to start or close quest. That happens sometimes when you try to talk
to an NPC and find yourself unable to. When that happens, try loading a
previous saved game and play again. Changing the perspective works sometimes
too. These do not solve the problem every time, but they may work.
Item recognition. If you find a quest item before you get the quest, the game
might not register your possession of it. This does not happen often, but it
can happen. Another reason why frequent saving is important.
Dupe. You can actually make this bug work in your favor. Some quests sometimes
do not close even after you claim your reward. This enables you to get the
reward again! Quests with this bug include the Soulstones, Klingzog's Leggings
and Predator's Fur. These do not happen everytime, so yeah...
Dupe2. Some quest items remain even though they are not suppose too. This is
not known to cause any major problem except player anxiety.
Inconsistencies. This is not really a bug, but many items, NPCs and locations
have different names. The questbook may ask for one thing but the actual item
might have a different name. So do not get confused or overly worried.

FAQ
=====
These questions are being asked everyday despite being answered too many times.
Read them before asking, or should I say, read them and stop asking!
[ Where is this/this/this? ]
Many bindstones/changes/bug fixes/stuff are added in the 1.10 patch. Please
update and patch your game. It is unlikely that your saved games will get
corrupted after patching, but remember to make backups just in case. The
saved games are probably located in your My Documents folder, look for them
there.
[ I cannot patch/CD-Key not working!? ]
Some earlier release used hard-to-read fonts for the CD-Key. Visit the
official site for more info on this. Make sure you do not mix up the O's,
0's and 8's, and I's, 1's and l's. And also make sure your copy of
SpellForce is a legal one.
[ Where can I find the Stone of Eternal Fire? I'm missing one!!! ]
See Stone of Eternal Fire under section APPENDIX.
[ How do I open the clicking dryad chest in the Shiel? ]
It's part of the Wound Tincture subquest, be patient, you can't open it yet.
[ How do I open that star chest in Stoneblade Mountain? ]
See Riddle of the Menhir under section UNLISTED SUBQUESTS.
[ Where is Tombard? ]
I wish I could draw ASCII maps, but there are too many details to include.
He is in the village in Greyfell. Where's the village? It's in the central
area where you helped the villagers kill the orcs in the very first
scenario, between the Greyfell town area and the human monument. Remember?
[ What is the Glowing Octagon for? ]
See Homunculus subquest.
[ How do I kill Fayt/Bloodash/Fyrmir etc? ]
This is a subquest guide and I'm quite reluctant in giving advice on how to
kill things, primarily because the game is flexible and there are different
methods to kill the same things depending on your character type and level.
The one method that applies to all is "numbers". If you have 80 units all
targetted on one single monster, it's unlikely that you will ever lose. And
always get more shooters/spellcasters than hand-to-hand fighters, that way,
all of your troops get to attack.
[ How do I get to Farlorn's Hope/Godmark/Nightwhispe Dale etc? ]
You will be there when the main storyline allows you to. Be patient. The
list of map locations in the COMPLETE SUBQUESTS LISTING section is in
chronological order of the game progress. That should give you a good idea.
[ Where is the Rift/HELPPLZ bug the gate to the Rift won't open!? ]
The entrance to the Rift is at E Mulandir. There are two gates on the E
side. One at the NE behind the guardians, the other [the entrance to Rift]
is at the E. Make sure you are at the right gate.
[ Where do I go after the Rift/Farlorn's Hope? ]
Get the Phoenix Stone from the guardian in N Mulandir. Follow the storyline.
Go to Greyfell, then Frost Marsh.
[ Where is Frost Marsh/Frostmarks/Frost Marshes? ]
Really, pay attention to the game, it's an RPG. Frost Marsh is where Rohen
got killed. Your first time there is after Wildland Pass. You should have
activated the bindstone. If not, go there via the portal in Wildland Pass.
[ Fyrmir did not drop the Phial/Stone of Eternal Fire!? BUG BUG BUG!!! ]
There are two dragons in Farlorn's Hope. One in the N, one in the NW. Did
you kill the right one?
[ Where is the Twonk/Shadow/Spider etc? ]
First, read the guide. Second, you may already have killed it, but did not
loot the body. It's a pain trying to search for a body on a huge map.
Fortunately there is one feature that will help locate loots easily. If you
leave and return to a map, you will notice small lit up spots in the mini
map. Those are indicators of corpses you forgot to loot.
I'd answer more, but I think I covered everything related to the subquests in
the guide already.
Thanks to JoWood and Phenomic for producing and publishing this amazing game.
Thanks to the forum community at the Spellforce Companion Forum
[http://www.planetspellforce.com/forum/] for providing some guidance when I was
still a newbie. I post there using a different pseudonym so don't ask. :P
Thanks to Faraz Huda for some information on Delicate Fabric subquest.
Thanks to Michael Sarich for some tips on formatting. I may not have change
much to suit your liking, but hey, there's gotta be some "me" in this guide.
Thank you for the encouragement too.
Thanks to my parents. *insert cheesy cliche stuff here* No but on a more
serious note, a lot a lot of things happened as of late, I don't really know
what to say, they sure didn't contribute anything to this guide, but they did
in so many other ways. Thank you for your patience.
