Oldman and Poppy,

Thanks for all that info.

Do you know, I did click on something in Khorad Nur and started a cut scene which left me standing exactly where I was but didn't think to pick up whatever triggered the cut scene. My memory is getting so bad it is possible I picked it up and sold it Did return there a while back but certainly didn't highlight a horn.

At the moment am looking for it way over in Nomad-Nur which has brought me up another level - Beth enjoys a good fight.

Two appointments will fill my day but hope to get back to the game this evening.

Hugs to all,

Alice

Well, here I am between appointment

Yes, I did get into chapter 3.

Yes, as horn is still not on the ground at Khorad Nur, it is possible it was picked up and sold to the merchant at the Oasis.

Yes, I kept the key to K-Nur and placed it in my 'chest'.

Yes, I took the Portal to Braverock Castle.

Yes, got directed to Tavern to connect with Prince's spy.

Yes, the door to the cellar is locked. No key.

Yes I went to pick up the key from the chest.

No, it doesn't work. Nobody in the game has suggested finding a key for this door.

Yes, I'm going mad


No, can't stay to sort it out now. I'm off to the hospital for my next appointment. Isn't real life a pain in the neck.

Alice

Alice,
You can't sell it..it never appears in your inventory screen..most quests items do not and this is one of them..so if not on the ground, you should have had and sounds as though you did the yellow book leading you back to Braverock Castle. It's where I am at now. Getting ready to enter the Tavern

Try if you can to forget the first time you played all together and just go with what you're playing now.
For me that was easy..I couldn't remember anyway.
But I think your memory is better than you think, you're remembering the first game and it won't work together as too many changes were made..so just pretend you never played before. Makes it much easier this time through.

Ok Alice I assume that your next quest is to find King Valor at Braverock. Around the corner from the Vendor and Teleport there should be an NPC with a !over his head. He will give you a message. Next you need to go to the tavern there should be another fellow in front of the entrance to the tavern who will tell you the Prince is in the cellar or some such nonsence and he'll open the cellar door. Sometimes when you get in there you have to wait for him to open the door. There's another guy with a gold crown thingy over his head that I always talk to but don't know if it helps advance the game or not. Anyway it appears that you need to find the guy who opens the cellar door.
_________________________________________________
For all going into the Underworld. I suggest you get your character at a high level before attempring it. This game bombards you with enemies and they respawn everytime you return to an area. I mean RESPAWN! If you fight your way to a place and decide you need to go back for whatever reason they are there again and you have to fight your way back. My Wood Elf is level 54 and has CA skills at 23 and I have to use a lot of Health Potions to get her through some of the battles. There are times when she is completely surrounded by hoards of monsters and I have no choice but to fight my way through and use a lot of potions. The good news is the chests that you store your stuff carrys over and I filled mine with potions so am able to fill my inventory with potions and only pick up unique items.

If you're not careful at the Pirate's quest you can find a dead end. I did and had to go back and redo all those quest cause the bad go didn't show up and I couldn't get a door open to advance because you need to kill him to trigger that door opening. So, when you run into Pigeon Pottypercy and Captain Vernon be sure to save often and make sure that you have picked up all 3 of the medalian pieces.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Hugs,

Alice

PS to above. John did you have the horn when you reported to Valor? If so - did you have the sorceress for compnay to Icecree Dale?

Yep, that's how it works Alice,
Talk to the Prince, he says talk to S...
She apparently takes the horn and bingo she's your's

Way to go Alice!!!!! The Ice Giants are fun.

And yes I had clicked on the horn and I used the Sorceress (I believe her name is Sareefa) to do all my side quests before going to Ice Creek Pass. She was helpful but I got a little peeved at her standing around watching sometimes as I tackled hoards of monsters. I guess she needed her rest.

Anyway good luck in the Monastery.

Alice, I don't know if you're aware, but quest items show up in your log book, I think it's the last tab on the top of the left hand page, then hit the tab at the bottom right of that page when you get there.

I appreciate the way they did that so your inventory doesnt get cluttered up. (except with potions, why dont they stack??)

Or at least give you a bag to store more items??

Agree inventory is a ? in this game. While the log book imho is one of the best in games.

Hi all,

Well my 4 people are 2 at level 26 and 1 at 27 and the other at 28.

I just love finding surprises when I play all 4 games.

I found out that by moving the wheel on the mouse makes the camera zoom in and out.

By clicking the shield on the swords that you can equip both hehe.

You can keep the wheel and the right mouse button down to have the map stay on while you are walking.

Guess you can tell I haven't really read the book but this way is more fun in finding out stuff.

I did look and look through the book when I was trying to find out about the shield but the info was nowhere to be found.

Well 2 of my people are on their way to Mystdale castle and the other two will be soon.

I am really enjoying this game and wondered if getting Sacred Plus was worth it since it sounds like more of the same stuff?

I will be looking out for the Underworld and will get it though.

I love the way they keep track of the quests in the journal and the way the yellow and blue arrows keep you on track to where you are going next.

I also love the map marking the spots where your quests are and where the person you are looking for is. I wish other games would have these wonderful features.

Hi again - You are all mentioning quests being logged in the journal.

This was fine until I got into the Prince Valor quests - now nothing is entered in the journal. Well, a book was logged - a rare happening because I seldom have room to pick up a book.

Is this a glitch in my game? Or has anyone else discovered this?

Unfortunately have to spend the afternoon writing letters - a MUST. *sigh* All takes time away from the game. The Ice giants will just have to read a good book while they wait.

See you.

Alice

WELL! have just spent several hours killing thousands of giants and millions of goblins plus several hundred ice wolves and ice lizards. And am no nearer finding the wretched book called Sakkara Demons, and I have got Shareera at my side chanting a mantra - Om-ah-shoo - all the time.

Am beginning to wonder whose side she in on

Wasted many, many healing potions on her before making a 'save' then just allowing her to die. Her portait didn't disappear and several seconds later she healed herself. Was she experiencing Near-Death syndroms?

On the plus side I have gone up more than two levels trapsing around the snowy wastes of Ancaria

During this time several odd things occurred.
At different times the gold plaque disappeared from map as though I'd completed every thing up north and, as there wasn't a gold medallion anywhere on the world map, I knew I hadn't.

The the white cross showing where I stood didn't didn't show where I stood - if you understand that.

My secret weapon works well on the giants - they fall like nine-pins with a little help from the angels

Now I must give up - my eyes are going haywire Hope to play tomorrow but not until the evening. If I survive until then, going to be a very full day for me.

Now, where is that blessed book? I've searched every nook and cranny for miles around - and it certainly isn't showing up in the library.

Think I might take the portal back to civilisation and buy myself some snow-glasses.

Lucky Jim could do with some snow-shoes. The dear lad is still with me.

Now, where did I put my Harry Potter book to relax for a while.

Whew! It is by no means as good or entertaining as Sacred and a lot more difficult. There are constant battles with hoards of monsters level 65 who are constantly respawning. Even when trading with merchants and/or blacksmith I had to pause in my trading to fight monsters. And this was on the Bronze level. I wouldn't even do the Silver level in Underworld.

I advise anyone to get your character that you're going to import into Underworld up to level 50 and have a chest and inventory full of healing potions before you import. (you can carry all that over when you import your character)

Going to rest for a while and return to the light side. I may later try the Dwarf and/or Daemon in the Ancaria Campaign and I'm also thinking about Obscure and Dungeon Lords. But that's another subject.

Alice I don't know what to tell you about the Ice Monastery. If you follow the arrow in your compass you'll eventually get to the "book" you're searching for. Good luck.

Hi,

Oldman is right about following the yellow arrow on your map to get to the book.

You don't have to heal Shereefa because she heals herself.

As for the journal I couldn't find the newest quests logged in it until I realized that there is a few tabs on the left of the book for other pages to look on. The tabs will be numbered

I
II
III so click on them to see your quests continued.

Hope this helps.

That's right, depends on which chapter you're in as to where your quests are.

Also, Magic...I know the fun of finding the different things you're able to do in the game.

Oldman,
Congrats on finishing already the Underworld..I stopped playing didn't think anyone is doing it..duh

Is there a reason to get plus if you've done the original..not really. There are 2 more areas and more quests, but basically the same game.
I am enjoying it simply because it has been a while since playing Sacred and figured if I was going to play again, I wanted to do Plus. However,
I am still have some problems with Plus even with the patch.
The game is "bumpy" I am sure it's the sound card..the game want Nvideo and I have Rad. not changing for the game though. Didn't see that problem in Underworld..

Have fun you all, we're on our way to Icedale..if that's the name..and if I can remember how to get there.

Hi again - I AM FOLLOWING THE ARROW! There are places where one moment it is pointing for me to go on, then a few steps in that direction will see the arrow turn 180 degrees. AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE. Alt key shows nothing as well.

Perhaps it was written in invisible ink on invisible paper

Whatever - will return to kill a few more giants and goblins.

Be back, I expect

Alice

Later - Found the correct place - I think.

Didn't find what I expected but have been given tasks by Sareera, and a place to meet later.

Am now on the way to start those tasks and no longer having mantras chanted by my ear all the time.

If I am wrong about this, the arrow is still pointing back to the same place, just say yea or nay and I will turn back to have another look.


Before the jouorney am off to find traders with plenty of potions - who knows? might even find better armour.

Be back - some time

Alice

I have three of the elements and am moving right along. However, I have not been able to complete the Noble Lady quest (I think I killed that guy early on. Was he carrying the key?) If so, I can't find it and am locked out of the house.

My other incomplete is the Magical Thistle quest. I got the thistle and returned to the medi-woman, but even though she thanks me I evidentally need to talk to him. Where and who is this merchant? Have been into the houses and visited all the merchants I can locate but, alas, still incomplete.

Also show a little green marker about an "egg something" and it does not show up in my log book. Guess I will have to take a side trip to the marker to figure it out.

Level 32 and going!

Peggy,
Magic Thistle
I'm the same on that one...he should be in the house; but it isn't. I've looked everywhere for him..gave up.

I did have that quest completed in the Underworld game, so I know he should be there..

Alice, I'm not sure where you are, as you look at your large map, can you zone in on the blue book and see what's around it?

Oh boy - something odd happened to my game just now.

Was trying to find a way to obtain the air thingy for Shareera. Exploring everywhere - left horse behind and went through a tunnel to be met by two giants and a wolf. Was fighting them from the tunnel entrance, tapped the spacebace bar to give a potion - and the game collapsed to the task on the desk-top.

Opened the game again and was still fighting the giants. Had to take a healing potion so tapped the spacebar and went back to the desk-top a second time.

NOW, opened the game again and this time found myself fighting two giants - hold your breath - in the old library right on the spot where Shareera disappeared after the Blue holograph spoke to us. The blue lass was still there and gave me the same message. I was still level 34 and everthing in the inventory was there - but the logbook now showed the extra space for quests. The latest quest from Shareera was entered but no places mentioned. Actually only the air one is marked on the map - no idea where the other 3 places are!!!!!!! I did make a note of the place names yesterday but they are not named on the world map.

Was stone's throw from the back entrance of the monastery so went back to find the Seraphim with blue wings who told me to find the book - and she is still telling me to find the book.

To say I am confused is putting it mildly - I appear to be jinxed.

See you - I'm off to bed

Alice

I think that is what happens when you die. Remember in the beginning how you always got sent back to ledge outside the cave? I think the library is where this Chapter sends you. I had the same thing (minus the crash to desktop) when I died. I restored my last save and went from there. Maybe that's it?

Hi all,

My game crashes randomly to desk top too but not that often so I don't worry about it. Don't know why it does that either. Oh well.

My 4 people are doing good and my Vampiress and Gladiator being the strongest in the group.

My Seraphim is working her way down south to Mystdale Castle so she is ahead of the others in the game.

Boy I really like how rings or amulets really really bring up the armor or weapons to be really good damage or protection.

Yeah you guessed it...finally finding stuff with slots to put stuff into.

Well onward we go.

Alice you obviously died. It could be that when you hit the space bar on your keyboard you also hit the key that takes you to the desktop (it's right next to the space bar) and while you were away the giants killed you. Anyway the first element is in the Monastery area and your compass arrows should point the way. Ignore the Seraphim and just keep following the arrows and you'll eventually get to the first element. If you find a dragon you'll know you're there.

Good Luck

VHL I don't know if you realize it or not but you can slot runes as well and they give you a lot better stats. I slot a lot of stuff with Vamp runes that steal life and it really adds to my attack power.

John, many thanks for telling me that - I'll return and have another look. Or hire Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

So here I go - plodding on regardless of the fact I have a severe case of frostbite trying to reach Frostgard.

Now, dragon, show yourself.

Hugs (to you, not the dragon)

Alice
