Okay, a warning.. (SPOILERS A COMIN') When you get to the point in the main story where you have to escort Lady Mascarell to the Prince's hideout, there are some wood elves in the forest who want you to help them kill ice elves. Apparently this is a big old quest added as part of Sacred Plus. My vamp is level 27 and all the ice elves were level 30. Not too much of a problem until the dragons showed up... I think I have been moving too quickly along the main storyline and need to level up a wee bit more before I tackle this one. I have to go back to a saved game because this awful quest is TIMED! Just so you know

Hmm, I've taken 4 characters past that point in the game and have never found that particular quest. I guess I'll have to explore that forest some more.
My Wood Elf has finally caught up with my other 3 and they are all looking for the second element now. Since I worked so hard to get this poor gal up to the rest of them I'll probably just carry on with her for now and bring the others up later. Maybe I'll take a break and look for those Ice Elves.

Whew that Ice Elf Quest was quite lengthy. I advanced four levels completing the quest. As for the dragons Schwab, the trick is to entice the first one out and then get in as close as possible and he wont' breath the fire on you then have a lot of health potions and pepper him with your most powerful attack. For my Wood Elf it was multiple arrows and poison tendrals. Got them both. The last Ice Elf Princess was guarded by a ton of ice elves and I had to run away several times and pick them off a few at a time but eventually got the Ice Princess. Quite a quest. Now it's back to element 2.

Hi all, Glad I could help nickie  Your Welcome. Oldman...you said that I could get other help after I lose Wilbur? I have now lost Wilbur in 2 of my 4 games going and wondered who else is going to help and where I will find them? My Vampiress can summon a wolf to help so she is all set with help for now. My Seraphim and Gladiator are the strongest people I have and they may or may not need help but just wondered anyway. I just love the Gladiator's Back Breaker skill where he picks up and throws the person down...even very very tall Hill Giants. Just cracks me up.

VHLMagic, the help you get is not that great anyway, including Wilbur, since they just distract the enemies while dying. Later on you will have some help in a main quest and towards the end some more help but basically you're pretty much on your own.

Magic, Thanks for the advice of the map, totally forgot about it. I have to ask..I y have run into a bug; In Wolfdale, was doing the tax collector quest for the mayor, found her, took her to the cave, she said leave me..and now she won't go away. The quest is still open on the book..she's driving me nuts. I thought if I left the area she would vanish, but nope..do you think she'd get killed..nope she runs but no one ever goes after her.. anyone else been there? I've taken her to that cave at least 6 times now and she just will not stay put; and the quest won't close..I've tried all the other caves anywhere I see one..Can't get rid of her..can't get the quest off the books..weird huh? Schwab and John you all are way ahead of me..clear the path, and if you see a tax collector running amok, kill her for me please. Nickie, how goes the BM? Ingie

Gosh, Ingie, for a moment there I thought you were getting personal!  I haven't been able to play much, but when I do I have a grand time! I get to laughing about the comments though, and wind up dead. Why, oh why, can't I kill off these annoying children that follow me? I'm laughing so much thinking of this annoying woman you can't get rid of! What a pain! I'm wondering if you had to click on something at the place where you had to take her, if the quest is still showing that it's not completed. Right now I'm still on the road taking a guy to Porto whatever. Glad the game doesn't let him get killed or he'd be a goner, since he runs away when we see a goblin, silly man.

Maybe you have to talk to someone at the mayor's office again? The vampiress sounds so funny! For all you folks that are playing several characters, which one do you think has the funniest comments?

The vamp is my favorite for dialogue also, she strikes me as a charmingly sadistic noblewoman.

Well let's see I've always liked my Seraphim. The Dark Elf is a little too egotistical, the BM is a little too pompous, the Vamp has some really great lines and of course last but not least my Wood Elf, that I worked so hard to get up to a high level, has the memorable line "Now you'll know what it's like to hit a lady" or something close to that. I hate to admit it but for lines my three ladies are my favorites.
Oh and as an added comment, I learned that there are two additional areas in Sacred Plus, one was the area with the Ice Elf Quest and the other in the vicinity of Gloomoor. Did the Ice Elf and I'm presently looking around Gloomoor but haven't found it yet.

Hi all, Ingie....you have to make sure you click on the blue looking chest way in the back of the cave. I am not sure if that is the problem or maybe check on the map to see if you need to go anywhere else to complete this quest. That is all I can think of to do. I had a similar problem with my seraphim when she freed the ladies in the Slater's Grave quest and they just wouldn't leave her alone and kept following her around until I checked to see that there was one more thing to do. Oh by the way....I found out by accident that my mage can heal Wilbur by selecting heal and holding the cursor over him (not the portrait) and right clicking to heal him. I know it doesn't matter with him since he bounces right back by himself but if you are escorting anybody from one place to another it will come in handy. This only works if you have heal but otherwise you will have to give them one of your heal potions.

Yep, that heal will help with the escorting of certain folks, I can think of 2 right now.. I tried everything and in the DE game, it popped up with even doing anything..whatever.. I'll keep going back and trying though..never know when something will be there that I missed.. I forgot about the wood elf saying that John, I still have to say though the Mage and his "this will teach you to respect magicans, oh yeah, you won't be around long enough to tell anyone" zap Ingie

Hi all,
Well my little Wood Elf will soon be at level 39 and I've found the 2d added quest in Sacred Plus and am gaining mucho experience completing the quest. If anyone hasn't found it and wants to let me know and I'll see if I can explain it.

Ingie, did you get Underworld from GoGamer? I see it there, but it's $40, kind of a lot for an expansion, IMO

Hm, don't remember if from there or EBgames..I think probably gogamers though..I took the long shipping rate..to make the cost less. but yes feathers you are correct it is an import. I guess it is high, but know I have at least 2 new games out of it..so ok by me. I played with the Dameon a bit to see what the heck that was..interesting..also the new storyline..picks up where you left off in the old. Want to play with the Dwarf a bit, just to see..I have seen some of the equipment and weapons a dwarf can use..a small shoulder cannon was one cracked me up. The Dameon character has been kicked out of Hell and placed back among the living..powers are very weak at first, first person in the world you meet is your "old" self explaining what is happening to you. Folks have a tendency to clear a path when you come through. I have to say the graphics are clear and crisp and the dialogue of the character is interesting. You can chose now among all the characters to redo the old game or import a level 25 character or more, chose one that will begin at that level to do the new part..which according to the map is very large. I just fiddled a bit to see what has changed again, interesting. New sections as the towns have grown in the old world game..I'll try just the new world game a little later. Ingie

Hi all, Ingie.....I just thought of another possiblity which is that you may not have picked up the tax money off of the ground. Check your journal to see if it says that you have it. I have been keeping my left hand near the tab to see where I am going and where I have not gone and when I have to pick up stuff I use the letter A which picks up everything that is on the ground to pick up and its easier than useing the cursor which with that you may miss stuff that is hidden. In one of my games that is exactly what happened and it was still there on the ground where I left it. LOL LOL LOL  Hope that is it for you to complete that quest. Wow yesterday I met my first Dragon with my Battlemage and boy oh boy is he BIG. YIPES!!!

Hi all,
Well I've gotten my Wood Elf to the end. There was a problem in the cellar after I storm the castle. I kept dying like with an instant death thing half way through. Checked the Sacred boards and I guess it is a bug but since I have the plus download it should have included all the fixes. Anyway, I found out that I was dying when I shot, or killed, some skeletons or zombies or whatever and using undead potion fixed that. Then I ran out of undead potion so just quit killing the baddies and ran to the exit and got through it. I don't know if anyone else will have this problem but I'd suggest you stock up on undead potion for that particular quest.
Also, F9 and F8 are supposed to be quick save and quick load. Not for me. I discovered that I can get quick save with F2 but I have no quick load.
Am now moving along with my Dark Elf doing the Plus quests. Got him up to level 30 and am in the middle of the Ice Elves Quest.
Ingie I don't recall if my Wood Elf did Wolfdale or not but after the Ice Elves will go there with my DE and check it out.
