Revision as of 04:22, 31 January 2011

Area 1

Finally made it Havindr! Follow the road north a little, but head west when you see the crashed airship on your left. The Tornado magick is hidden amongst the trees next to the southern side of the ship Screenshot. Continue north after getting the magicka, but turn left at the fork instead of going straight to the gate. To the north of the ship is a dead moose (Moose 5).

Now go back to the gates to trigger a short cutscene of the gates openning.

Don't worry about checking any of the doors, they are all locked. But there is one building with a sign that looks like a hanging hammer; it turns out that the hammer is actually Mjolnir so grab it if you want it!

Then just continue following the road north until you trigger a cutscene, then head into the open door to the inn above you to trigger another quick cutscene showing you the city is under attack

When you regain control, open the cabinet near the exit to get the Shield Staff, then head out and let the battle begin!

Head east to the bridge, you will encounter various goblins (no archers yet) along the way. Once you get to the bridge you will meet a new baddie, the Orc. The orc can be quite strong, but it's nothing to fret over. They have a special ability to latch onto you and start biting you, so be sure to spam the key you bound to Boost to break free.

Fight off the waves of enemies at the bridge, then head east to trigger a cutscene.

Here is another fork in the road, head north to get to a small secret area with a Warhammer (Sherlock Holmes 6).

When you've nabbed that, return to the fork and head east to town square. Here you will fight a few waves of enemies including orcs, goblins, and goblin bombardiers. The final enemy will be your first Warlock.

Warlocks love to shield themselves and shoot Arcane beams or Lifebolts (Element life+Element earth), as well as waterbolts like the Druids. They will also shield themselves consistently with Element shield. They are also resistant to physical damage because of their staff.

The Staff of War Warlocks drop are very nice: it doubles your max HP and gives you physical resistance, very good for the solo player.

After defeating the Warlock continue east to the next area.

Area 2

Douse the fires with water spells or rain. Continue eastward and you will trigger a cutscene (with a reference to Braveheart). After this, go up and around the debris you had just doused to the left to get the Blade of Chill laying against the side of the building Screenshot.

You will encounter a new type of orc here which I will refer to as the Beserker. The Beserker loves to do a leaping attack at you to close large distances and the attack knocks you down, so be careful when you see these, and try to take them out quickly to stop them from interrupting your spells.

Continue east, dousing more fires as you go along, eventually you will reach a block in the road. Go into the open building above you to go around.

Douse fires as you progress through the building, you will eventually come across the Conflagration magick which is perfect for use against large groups of goblins that have bombardiers dispersed throughout. Once you get near this magick, however, your first Armored Orc will spawn. These guys have lots of health and do a charge attack. You can remove their shields by casting at least slightly charged up elemental bolt attacks (Element earth+any offensive elements). When you've taken care of him, head east and out of the door on the south side of the building, taking out the additional orcs inside if you so choose. Then head east to move to the next area.

Area 3

Head north east and you will find a group of goblins with bombardiers interspersed; this is a great time to try out Conflagration if you want!

Continue heading north east, fighting orcs along the way until you get to the Checkpoint.

Moving forward from here will put you into a large defensive fight with lots of friendly NPCs while waiting for a fuse to detonate bombs. So prepare anything you want like resistances, shields, and enchanments, then move forward.

You will be facing all of the enemy types you have seen in this level in waves. You can choose to attack profusely or stay back and heal your friendly NPCs while you wait for the charges to detonate.

NOTE: if you don't want to bother with the fight, just cast a fire spell on the bombs to detonate them immediately.

When your bloodlust is satisfied, enter the building to move to the next area, the King's Hall, and your next boss fight.

Area 4

The first stage of this boss is simply destroying the machine within a certain amount of time. I've found that one of the quickest ways is just to aim your most powerful spell at the wooden contraption just to the right of where the blueprint is hanging on the south side.

After this, you will have to fight the lead warlock himself. You can expect the same behavior as you would from normal warlocks, except with more lightning.

And with this the level is complete!
