Revision as of 14:08, 26 September 2014

During this run, we won't be skippint any of the quests in the main storyline, as this apperas to be impossible. What is left, if to do these quests as fast as possible and saving time where ever possible. The most important used are the statue glitch, item duplication and long distance pyramid throws.

The maps I'll be referencing, are maps with the paths drawn into. They can be found here.

In the description, you'll find time designations I use to know, how far I have to scroll to the for of war. As it's unlikely that you count the same way I do, you'll need to come up with your own timings.

Part I: Aleroth, Rivertown, Stormfist Castle

This part consists of leaving the town Aleroth, going to Rivertown to buy a statue and potions and get an invitation to enter Stormfist Castle

The supplies we get in Jorams house are gold and potions.

Take the gold can be found in the chest you woke up next to. Multiply the gold (to about 10000). Leave the basment and purchase the potions from Joram: You need red, blue and yellow.

You can duplicate the yellow potion in the bookshelf

Leave the house and go to Mardaneus' house.After the cutscene, enter the house through the well to the East. Then go to the village entrance and talk to Serk. To get the Teleportpyramids, turn all the Dragon statues north.

Place and use a teleport pyramid, pick up the other one and teleport back. If you are to slow, you'll take a lot of damage from the skeletons in the room.

Go back to Lanilors house and talk to him.
