Walkthrough

Find Scout Leader Azzyk (Forest of the Fallen at 2440, -3300 • At the zone in) .

Scout Leader Azzyk whispers, '<Player Name>, over here.'

You say, 'Hail, Scout Leader Azzyk'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'I'm glad you decided to find me, <Player Name>. I had to meet you here because this mission must be kept secret.'

You say, 'What mission is that, Azzyk?'

Scout Leader Azzyk sighs deeply, 'A month ago I sent out one of our junior scouts to the Forest of the Fallen, a remote forest bordering The Tears of Elael. We sent her to investigate and possibly make contact with the inhabitants.'

You say, 'What happened to her?'

Scout Leader Azzyk shakes his head, 'I don't know. That's one of your objectives.'

You say, 'What else do you need me to do?'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'You have two objectives, <Player Name>. First, find Scout Ayslyn and second, if she's alive assist her in the mission.'

Your journal has been updated. [Memories of the Forest]

 

Journal Text: Azzyk has requested that I find Ayslyn in Forest of the Fallen and then assist her...If she's alive.

Note: You're about to get a bag, make sure you have an inventory slot available.

Find Scout Ayslyn La`fay (Forest of the Fallen  at 2636, -3050  • At the zone in) .

You say, 'Hail, Scout Ayslyn La`fay'

Ayslyn stirs at the sound of your voice...

You say, 'Ayslyn, wake up!'

Ayslyn's eyes slowly open. She looks through you as if you're not there.

You say, 'Ayslyn! What's wrong with you?'

Ayslyn finally looks directly at you. After a few minutes she says, 'who are you?'

You say, 'I am <Player Name>. Azzyk sent me to find you.'

Ayslyn looks perplexed, 'Are you real?' She reaches up and touches you and looks relieved.

You say, 'Of course I'm real, what is the matter with you?!'

Ayslyn remains quiet for a moment, gathering her composure. 'I have no idea, <Player Name>. I've been seeing visions as I explore the forest and they're terrifying me. I've never seen anything like it.'

You say, 'Visions? What are you talking about, Ayslyn?'

Ayslyn says anxiously, 'I'm seeing things that aren't really there! What do you think I mean?!'

You say, 'Calm down. I'm just trying to understand.

Ayslyn sighs, 'I'm sorry. I'm just so frightened that I'm losing my mind.'

Note: The next dialogue options contain an alignment hit.

[D1] Lawful (+1) Good (+3)

You say, 'It's okay, Ayslyn. You've obviously been traumatized by what you've seen. Azzyk's orders are to find and assist you. That's what I'm here to do.'

Ayslyn begins to cry, 'I'm too afraid to stay. Here, take this diary. I found it when I was looking around, I can't stand the sight of it anymore. If you find it to be useful then take the results to Azzyk.'

[D2] Evil?

You say, 'I cannot believe Azzyk would send someone with such questionable mental stability. Go home before I save them the trouble and kill you myself.'

MISSING TEXT

[D3] Chaotic Good?

You say, 'Azzyk should have never sent you here alone, that just proves to me more that his authority is meaningless. I will stay to assist you, but only because it's the right thing to do.'

MISSING TEXT

[D4] Lawful Evil?

You say, 'I realize that Azzyk has limited resources and a lot of work to do. You were likely the best person to send within these limitations, but apparently not quite capable of completing the task. I will follow my orders as directed, but don't think I'll let someone as incompetent as you take any of the credit.'

MISSING TEXT

[D5] Good?

You say, 'Azzyk asked me if I could come help you. I'm glad I accepted his request, you obviously need the help.'

MISSING TEXT

You receive An Incomplete Diary.

Memories

Find a collection of memories (Forest of the Fallen  at 2817, -2800  • In a ruin near the zone in) .

You say, 'Hail, a collection of memories'

You suddenly feel very sleepy as your eyes shut involuntarily. You begin to panic as your body becomes paralyzed. Images begin to flash through your mind's eye. You see a ruin to the west occupied by Goblins, Yiv Goblins. A large fortress to the south occupied by Kromtor Giants, they're fighting, but you're unable to make out the images of the enemy. Another battle flashes into your vision, the Kromtor appears to be attacking the Yiv. Bees, enormous ones, furiously attacking all that come into range of their hive... Suddenly you awake. The figure before you shatters into many pieces. You suddenly realize there is something worth investigating here.

Your journal has been updated. [Memories of the Forest]

 

Journal Text: I have returned to Forest of the Fallen, a very strange apparition appeared before me and showed me visions. This must be what Ayslyn saw. I know I must investigate further.

Note: Each memory hailed from this point on will begin its own short "cut scene", you will be charmed so you will most likely lose your pet. Each Memory will give you one diary page. Use A memory (Locations Forest of the Fallen) to aid in finding the memories needed around the zone.

Find A memory (1st Memory of the Forest) (Forest of the Fallen  at 3802, -2509, -24  • Second ruin from the zone in as you travel North from Tears of Elael.) .

You say, 'Hail, a memory'

Visions once again begin to fill your mind. You hear chattering coming from the west but you're unable to understand what is being said. You feel an unknown entity enter your body and you begin to see through it's eyes. You then realize that you have become one of them, one of the Yiv...

You lose control of yourself!

Your body is inhabited by another...

The chattering is coming from ahead of you, you are now able to understand what they're saying...

A Yiv Chieftain says, 'Arrived we have! Find a new home, a better home we will! Rest a bit, leave soon we must!'

A disgruntled yiv goblin says, 'Hsssss, terrible you are!'

A Yiv Chieftain says, 'Challenge me! Win you will not!'

A disgruntled yiv goblin grumbles, 'Don't tempt me...'

A yiv goblin scowls, 'You both stop! Go! Now!'

The Yiv Chieftain spots a path up ahead...

A Yiv Chieftain says, 'Path ahead, follow it we will...'

A sense of restlessness and anxiety overcomes the group...

A disgruntled yiv goblin says, 'Nothing here! Wasted trip this is!'

A Yiv Chieftain says, 'Hsssss, speaking you stop! New home here, feel it I can!'

A disgruntled yiv goblin mumbles something under his breath...

A Yiv Chieftain says, 'Hsssss!! Say again louder!'

A Yiv goblin ignores the Chieftain, they continue following the path.

A Yiv Chieftain says, 'South we should go!'

A disgruntled yiv goblin hisses, 'No! South wrong! West!'

The Chieftain hisses, 'Patience with you gone! Challenge me or shut up!'

A digruntled yiv goblin growls, 'Fine! Challenge you I am!'

A Yiv goblin lunges at the Yiv Chieftain, pulling his dagger. The Chieftain is taken by surprise and is quickly taken down by his attacker.

A Yiv goblin lets out a long hiss then speaks, 'Anyone else?!'

A Yiv goblin says, 'Good, West! We go now!'

Excitement begins to show on the other goblin's faces as they see the ancient fortress in the distance...

A Yiv goblin says, 'Home! Arrived we have!'

The Yiv goblins having found a new home, run immediately to the ruin ahead. Squinting your eyes, you can almost see what the settlement has become.

The Yiv goblins have found their new home. You begin to awake from this vision. Was it a dream? It seemed so real!

A page from the diary mysteriously appears in your bag.

Your journal has been updated. [Memories of the Forest]

 

Journal Text: I just had a vision of Yiv Goblins arriving in the Forest. Could there be more memories waiting for me?

Find A memory (2nd Memory of the Forest) (Forest of the Fallen  at 2107, -185, -18  • Just South of the ruin South of the Yiv Goblin Fort.) .

You say, 'Hail, a memory'

You lose control of yourself!

Your body is inhabited by another...

You are suddenly knocked unconscious by an unseen force. You begin to see Kromtor giants form in front of you. They appear to be agitated.

The Kromtor approach the Yiv fort. The Yiv watch them approach and come out to see what they want.

The Yiv Chieftain shouts, 'Stop! Be you friend or foe!?

Lord Algar the Sworn shouts, 'You are trespassing on Sworn Kromtor land, leave at once and we will let you live.'

The Yiv Chieftain hisses, 'Ours the land is. Found...Claimed...Moons three past!'

Lord Algar the Sworn shouts, 'My ancestors settled this land many years ago. You are trespassing, this is your last warning!'

The Yiv Chieftain sizes up the situation, knowing that he has numbers on his side he pauses then shouts, 'ATTACK!!!'

The only Kromtor left sees he is now by himself, and attempts to flee.

The Yiv Chieftain shouts, 'Cowards you are! Come back never, or die you will!

You awake suddenly, the visions still running wild in your mind.

Mysteriously another page from the missing diary appears in your bag.

Your journal has been updated. [Memories of the Forest]

 

Journal Text: I just had another vision. This time it was the Kromtor and Yiv fighting over a land dispute. Something tells me the end of the battle doesn't mean the war is over.

Find A memory (3rd Memory of the Forest) (Forest of the Fallen  at 73, 1235, -12  • North of the North entrance to the Giant Fort.) .

You say, 'Hail, a memory'

You lose control of yourself!

Your body is inhabited by another...

Once again your vision becomes blurry. Figures of what appears to be a Kromtor Giant again enter your vision, although transparent they look so real. An exchange is happening between them and an unknown Iksar.

General Yalzak says in a scowling voice, 'You have seen what he is capable of doing. In his mind, you have no choice but to accept his offer.'

The Kromtor Lord cowers at General Yalzak's voice barely able to muster the courage to reply.

The Kromtor Lord says, 'And if we refuse?'

General Yalzak yells, 'Then we will kill all of you! Don't be a fool Algar! He's offering you the privilege of living in his forest for very little in return!'

Lord Algar says, 'Very little in return?! He wants us to fight in his army!'

General Yalzak looks Lord Algar directly in the eye and says, 'That's very little cost for your lives to be spared, wouldn't you agree?'

Lord Algar says in exasperation, 'Yes. Yes, it is.'

General Yalzak states, 'So we have a deal then.'

Lord Algar says, 'We do.'

General Yalzak says, 'Good. Send us ten soldiers by tomorrow or I will return and you will die.'

You are free of the spirits control

A page of the diary is mysteriously placed in your bag.

Your journal has been updated. [Memories of the Forest]

 

Journal Text: Another vision, this time of Lord Algar and General Yalzak. It seems Algar has sold out the Kromtor to Kaezul.

Find A memory (4th Memory of the Forest) (Forest of the Fallen  at 2975, 888, -19  • Just West from the bridge to the West of the Yiv Goblin Fort.) .

You say, 'Hail, a memory'

You once again find yourself falling into a deep sleep. Visions fill your mind once again, you see Yiv appearing in front of you along with a Kaezulian magician...

You lose control of yourself!

Your body is inhabited by another...

A Kaezulian Magician says, 'I am here to recruit your tribe to help fight in Lord Kaezul's army.'

a yiv goblin looks at the magician and says, 'Hssss, fight we love! Kaezul, why we fight for him?'

A Kaezulian Magician says, 'Why are you speaking!? You're not a Chieftain! Begone before I lose my temper!'

a yiv goblin grumbles under his breath.

A Kaezulian Magician says, 'Tsk tsk, too bad for you!'

The other Yiv look at the magician with awe.

The Yiv Chieftain says, 'Magic! Teach me please! Strong magic I want!'

A Kaezulian Magician says, 'Patience! We must discuss your loyalty to Kaezul first.'

The Yiv Chieftain says, 'Kaezul yes yes, worship him if it make us strong!'

A Kaezulian Magician says with mock sincerity, 'Strong you will be, if you worship Lord Kaezul!'

The Yiv Chieftain says with excitement, 'Magic, show more!'

A Kaezulian Magician says condescendingly, 'In time, right now we need some soldiers to fight the outsiders. Send ten to Ikild immediately and I will return with something special for you.'

The Yiv Chieftain looks disappointed but agrees to send ten of his tribe to fight for Kaezul.

Just as suddenly as the dream began it ended and you awake suddenly. You could have sworn it was because you heard screams coming from the south but you hear nothing now.

A page from the diary has mysteriously appeared in your bag.

Your journal has been updated. [Memories of the Forest]

 

Journal Text: Yet another vision, this one of a Kaezulian making contact with the Yiv and amazing them with simple magic. They have agreed to fight for him too.

Find A memory (5th Memory of the Forest) (Forest of the Fallen  at -1631, 1035, 51  • South of the middle of the Giant Fort.) .

You say, 'Hail, a memory'

You lose control of yourself!

Your body is inhabited by another...

A feeling of sleepiness comes over you, you fall to the ground and are instantly asleep. You hear noises near you and then see the Kromtor giants appear in front of you...

Elder Guroth says, 'Algar! You stand accused of treason and cowardice in the face of danger. How do you plea?'

Lord Algar the Sworn says forcefully, 'Not Guilty!'

Elder Guorth says, 'It was you that made the deal with Kaezul. Was it not?'

Lord Algar the Sworn says, 'Yes, but I was doing what I felt was best for our tribe!'

Elder Guorth says, 'You made the deal without a vote from the elders, that makes it treason! Next, when you led the party to the Yivs to reclaim our land, you ran away! Leaving the others to die!'

Lord Algar the Sworn says, 'No, they were already dead when I ran away.'

Elder Guorth says, 'No! They were not, in fact there was a survivor!'

Lord Algar the Sworn says, 'Impossible! You lie! There were no survivors other than I!'

Elder Guorth says, 'It's true Algar, it's how we know the details of your cowardice.'

Lord Algar the Sworn sighs greatly, 'Make your decision and do what you need to do, Guorth'

Elder Guorth says, 'Elders, how say you?'

The elders begin to pass judgment, 'GUILTY!'

Elder Guorth says, 'Algar, you have been found guilty of treason and cowardice. Any last words before a sentence is given and justice served?'

Lord Algar the sworn thinks a moment then, 'YES! To the death Guorth!'

Elder Guorth says, 'Justice has been served.'

The Kromtor Elders shout in unison, 'Lord Algar is dead! Long live Lord Guorth!'

Lord Guorth takes his place as the head of the Sworn Kromtor. You begin to stir, your eyes pop open and you stand.

You find a page of the diary has been placed in your bag.

Journal Text: The next vision is of the Kromtor Elders, they have had enough of Algar's actions and have executed him.

Find A memory (6th Memory of the Forest) (Forest of the Fallen  at 3653, 3908, -186  • North along the beach just in front of the caves to The Silent Halls. Green caves on map.) .

You say, 'Hail, a memory'

You begin to get very sleepy, 'Not this again!' You think to yourself as you drift to sleep. You see two Kromtor come into vision, you can tell that something isn't quite right about them.

You lose control of yourself!

Your body is inhabited by another...

Osera says, 'Oh! Look at that, did you see?'

Osura says, 'Yes! It went behind the tree!'

Osera says, 'What is it? What could it be?'

Osura says, 'Should we look or should we flee?'

Osera says, 'A Yiv? What gives? Let's bash it good!'

Osura says, 'We'll use it's bones for firewood!'

Osera says, 'If we gang up on it we could!'

Osura says, 'Maybe so, I think we should!'

Osera says, 'That is no Yiv! Not even close!'

Osura says, 'It looks more like a scary ghost!'

Osera says, 'Is this creature friend or foe?'

Osura says, 'You go ask it. I don't know!'

Osera says, 'There it goes! It's running away!

Osura says, 'Hurry! Chase it! Make it stay!

Osera says, 'All we wanted to do was play!'

Vaton shouts, 'Get a move on you Yiv-brained fools! We have work to do!

Osera and Osura shout in unison, 'Coming Vaton!'

Journal Text: The final vision has appeared to me. Two dim-witted Kromtor saw something mysterious in the forest, an unknown creature of some sort. I should report my findings to Azzyk immediately.

Return to Scout Leader Azzyk (Forest of the Fallen at 2440, -3300 • At the zone in) .

Scout Leader Azzyk whispers, 'I'm glad to see you've returned, <Player Name>.

You say, 'Hail, Scout Leader Azzyk'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'Hello again, <Player Name>. Do you have an update for me?'

You say, 'I have completed my investigation.'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'That is great news! Tell me what you've found.'

You say, 'The visions are memories, things that happened in the past. I found a diary that explains everything that I saw.'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'Oh great! Let me see the diary!'

Journal Text: I have taken the diary to Azzyk and he has asked me to give him some time to study it.

Note: Azzyk will disappear for a few moments, or you can just run a short distance away and return to him to get him to respawn.

You say, 'Hail, Scout Leader Azzyk'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'Hello again, <Player Name>. I have given it a lot of thought and have decided what I want you to do.'

You say, 'What do you need me to do?'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'I've given it a lot of thought. I believe our best bet would be for you to earn the trust of the Kromtor. They are being forced to fight for Kaezul and if we can show them another option they may be willing to revolt and fight him with us.'

You say, 'How do you suggest I do this?'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'Well, I doubt you're going to be able to just walk into their fortress. Maybe you can find one outside of it that has enough power to get you in to talk to their Elders and maybe even their Lord. They don't seem to like the Yiv too, maybe fighting them will get their attention.'

You say, 'I'll do the best I can Azzyk.'

Scout Leader Azzyk says, 'Good luck, <Player Name>. I know you have the determination needed to complete this task.'
