================================================================================
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
================================================================================
Introduction
************
This text does not give you technical guidance on how to make Eon Altar work
with your computer, phone/tablet and router if you are having problems. Having
said that, I'm giving some general advice that may be helpful regarding mainly
the controller application.
Updates
*******
Check that you have the latest version of the Eon Altar game and the Eon Altar
controller application.
Close Other Programs
********************
Let's assume your computer, phone and tablet have enough computing power,
working memory and storage space. Other programs may consume those resources or
even cause problems with your device, so try closing all unnecessary programs
you have open.
With your Android or iOS device, launch the recent applications menu and swipe
up or right to close programs. How to launch the recent applications menu
depends on your device. If you have an Android phone try tapping on the left or
right corner below the display when the display is turned on. If you are using
an Android tablet try to find a Square icon at the bottom of the display and tap
it. If you have an iPhone or an iPad, try double-clicking the Home button to see
the recently used apps screen.
Close Eon Altar Controller App
******************************
With my iPhone I have noticed I sometimes need to restart the Eon Altar
controller app before it can connect to the game again. Launch the recent
applications menu as described above and use swipe to close the program. Then
start the program again.
Restart Your Devices
********************
Even if you close a program there can be background processes left running in
your device causing problems to other programs. Restart your device to get rid
of those processes. If the program that is causing problems is set to start
automatically when your device starts then you can try to disable automatic
start if there is an option for that and if the program is not any essential
software that needs to be running.
If you didn't close other programs as mentioned above, those programs may auto
start again and cause the same problems, so try closing those unnecessary
programs for trouble-shooting purposes.
Empty Cache
***********
Sometimes the cache files (application's temporary files) get corrupted, so try
emptying the cache for your Eon Altar controller application. Usually other
programs use their own cache also, so at least try emptying cache for your
device's web browser, because that cache can be huge.
Reinstall Eon Altar Controller App
**********************************
There can be something broken in the Eon Altar controller application, so try
removing it from your device and installing it again.
Battery Optimization
********************
Your Android device may have third-party Battery Optimization software aiming to
decrease the amount of energy used by the apps. Try disabling Battery
Optimization for Eon Altar Controller app.
Security Software
*****************
Your security software may not identify your Eon Altar game on your PC or the
Eon Altar Controller App on your phone/tablet. Your security software may block
all new programs on your device by default. In both cases allow internet
connections and other functionality for your Eon Altar applications in your
firewall, virus scanner and spyware blocker. Also, try updating your security
software in case it doesn't automatically update itself.
With some network cards there may come network management software that causes
problems with applications, so try allowing your game with that software or try
closing that software for trouble-shooting purposes.
Router/Modem
************
Your router firmware might be be working incorrectly because of software bugs,
so try a hard reset if there is a possibility to do so. A hard reset means a
physical button or a hole marked with the label Reset in your device. Before the
reset operation write down any important custom settings you may have done, so
it will be easier to make those settings again.
Wi-Fi Connection
****************
Eon Altar uses a Wi-Fi connection to connect your Controller App to the PC game.
That means your Controller App and PC need to be on the same Wi-Fi network, so
you need to enable Wi-Fi on your phone and connect to the same network.
If your PC is connected to your router/modem via an Ethernet cable instead of
Wi-Fi it may cause problems connecting the controller app with the game
software. Try connecting your PC with Wi-Fi only or try using a newer
router/modem.
See also the manual and support website for your router/modem in case you need
to change the settings. Your Internet Service Provider may require certain
settings, so write down all the settings before changing them to be able to
switch back to the old settings. Consult your Internet Service Provider for more
information should you try to change any settings at all.
Contact Support
***************
If none of the above helps and you have tried to search for solutions from the
Eon Altar forums and FAQ, then post a message to the forums or contact the Eon
Altar support. There should be a contact form page on the Eon Altar website and
you might find the support email address from the forums. It will help the
developers if you mention your computer's and phone's operating system version
number and security software and the name and model of your router/modem.
================================================================================
FAQ
================================================================================
Here are some of the frequently asked questions (FAQ) found in the forums about
Eon Altar. Visit the forums to find more thorough answers.
Q: Why does the Eon Altar Controller App consume so much battery energy?
A: There can be other reasons for that. Keeping your phone's screen open all the
time uses a surprisingly much energy. The same applies to using your phone's
Wi-Fi chip for surfing the Web and downloading videos.
Q: Can I play Eon Altar solo using multiple phones and tablets?
A: Sure you can. I have been playing it myself with an iPhone, an Android phone
and an Android tablet controlling three heroes almost simultaneously.
Q: Can you play this game online with your friends?
A: No. It is meant to be played with your friends in the same house.
Q: Can you play this game on a campus network?
A: Probably not. This game is meant to be played home with friends using a home
router/modem that is capable of serving a few dozen machines instead of
hundreds of different clients.
Q: I have updated my game and Controller App, but they don't have the same
version numbers. Is that a problem?
A: No, it's not a problem. The version numbers are on purpose different for
different operating system platforms for software development purposes. You
can find the latest version number information for your Controller App from
Apple's or Google's app store if you are unsure what version you should be
having.
Q: Is there any other way of controlling your hero other than a phone or tablet?
A: The Controller Application gives you a lot of information about your
character in addition to unlocking and upgrading your powers and equipment,
so you need a supported phone or a tablet to fully enjoy this game.
Q: Is there a Windows Phone version for the Eon Altar Controller App?
A: No. There are no promises for a Windows Phone version at the time of writing
this text.
Q: The estimated playtime is 4 hours for Episode 1. Is it really only 4 hours?
A: There are different characters to increase the replayability value when you
can try different tactics and weapons with the same or different characters
or character combinations. The tactical situation also changes with a
different number of characters. You can change the difficulty setting and try
again to see how well you understand the tactical perspective of all the
attacks, defends, powers, weapons, buffs, position of your heroes in relation
to the enemy groups in the same area and so on. There are also achievements,
so you can see how many of those you can get. And there are votes where you
make decisions. Try the different voting options in different gaming sessions
to see the differences of your choices. In addition to the campaign there is
also the combat arena mode. There you can see how many enemies you can take
down in one go. It can take an hour to defeat 10 Waves and the next 10 Waves
probably takes even more time if you like to think it through on how to
proceed with every situation.

================================================================================
CONTROLLER APPLICATION
================================================================================
TOP MENU
- in the controller application Top Menu button is at the top left hand corner
and it looks like a circle that has three black horizontal lines on a white
background
- this kind of button is also known as the "Hamburger Menu"Expand Menu
orsimply the "Menu Button"
- when you open the Menu Button you will see the icons for the screens Stats,
Gear, Abilities, Upgrades, Lore, and Quests
- when you close the Menu Button you will see the Move Marker, Power Wheel or
Defend Wheel depending on what you were doing previously
MOVE MARKER
- Move Marker is the colorful rotating circle at the middle of the controller
screen when the Top Menu is closed
TARGET MARKER
- Target Marker is the colorful rotating circle on the main game screen you can
move around and target enemies, teammates, allies and items like chests
CHOOSE A TARGET
- to choose a target tap the inside of the Move Marker on your controller, keep
your finger pressed on the screen and drag your finger towards the location
corresponding the target on the main game screen
RUN
- to run tap the outside of the Move Marker on your controller, keep your
finger pressed on the screen and drag your finger towards the location where
you want to go
POWER WHEEL
- Power Wheel is shown during a battle and it shows what kind of powers or
attacks you can use
- select a power or an attack from the Power Wheel by tapping one of the small
circles near the border of the Power Wheel
- triangle-like icon at the bottom of a small circle tells you the range of the
power or attack: a larger triangle-like icon means a longer range
SELF BUTTON
- Self Button is the round character icon at the bottom left hand corner
- inside my mind I call this the Character Button
DEFEND WHEEL

shield behind the hand
- Defend Wheel may also contain attacks or ally-protect powers, such as:
- Baryson: Armor of Light
- Marcus: Aura of Command
- Muran: - Flame Aura
- Stone Warden
POCKET
- the game does not have a Pocket section at least not at the time of writing
this text, but I use this definition inside my head
- if you have no potion or food shown on the Defend Wheel you need to put them
in your Pocket
- to put an item in your Pocket (and you are not in a battle) go to the Top
Menu, then the Gear screen and activate the items you want to put into your
Pocket

III TACTICS
================================================================================
================================================================================
================================================================================
ABBREVIATIONS
================================================================================
Rounds
******
- I use the slash-word (/word) abbreviations like /two and /sixty instead of
numbers like 2 rounds and 60 rounds for easier reading as there will be less
numbers mixed up with all that other numerical data in the Ability and
Upgrades descriptions
- /word abbreviations used in this text are:
- /two = 2 rounds
- /three = 3 rounds
- /five = 5 rounds
- /twelve = 12 rounds
- /sixty = 60 rounds
================================================================================
BUFFS
================================================================================
Introduction
************
To understand the tactics and the abilities of the heroes, first we need to take
a look at the buffs in the game. A buff is a part of an Ability or a Power and
it enhances your hero, teammate or an allie. For example, a buff may increase
Damage, Defense, Fortitude or Resistance, but a buff can also mean something not
measured in numbers like Silent Thorn's Concealed (you cannot be targeted by
enemies until your next turn). A debuff is the opposite of a buff and is used
against enemies. A debuff can for example decrease Resistance to a damage type.
A Status Effect mentioned in the game means a buff or a debuff.
Terms
*****
Bloodied
- this is more like a Shasek's feature than a buff
- normally Shasek becomes Bloodied when his Fortitude drops to less than 25% and
he gains +25% Physical Resistance
- with the Short Fuse ability (Berserker level 1), Shasek becomes Bloodied when
Fortitude drops to less than 50%
Free
- power does not consume an action in combat
Movement
- Movement is not a buff, but this is an explanation for the "+x Movement'; note
mentioned in some of the buffs in this game
- the number one in "+1 Movement" means approximately the width of a hero
- Baryson and Shasek have the same Movement distance, but if you unlock and
activate "Seethe II" (Hastened, +6 Force) for Shasek during combat and you
compare how far Baryson and Shasek can move, then in that case Shasek can move
about five hero's width more than Baryson
Move Distance
- the distance your character moves
Range Distance
- the distance your projectile moves or how far your power reaches

================================================================================
TACTICAL ADVICE
================================================================================
Attacks
*******
Attack Types
- you can use basic attacks to target single enemies
- Shasek's Double Slice is an upgraded version of Slice and it makes the
attack a combo attack
- you can use precision attacks to damage a single opponent more or more
accurately/probably than a basic attack
- you can use multi-hit attacks against multiple enemies when your allies are
not too close to you, because they will also take damage
- you can use combo attacks, which usually means you first attack against one
enemy and then another
- if you can't shoot a projectile, but you would like to attack an enemy far
away, you might be able to use a charge attack
Charge Attacks
- a charge or assault attack can be used instead of a projectile attack, when
you don't have Energy or other resources for a projectile attack
- a charge attack means your hero runs a long distance towards the enemy before
striking
- examples of charge attacks are:
- Baryson: (none)
- Marcus: Battle Charge (Engaged)
- Muran: (none)
- Shasek: Bullrush (+2 Force)
- Silent Thorn: Eviscerate (attack and then step away, Hindered, +4 Force,
+8 Accuracy, requires Concealed from Shadowstep action)
Combo Attacks
- you can use a combination of actions with combo attacks
- examples of combo attacks are:
- Baryson: (none)
- Marcus: Shield Smash (attack an enemy causing Disengage and Knockback,
then make another action)
- Muran: (none)
- Shasek: - Bladestorm (attack one enemy and then up to two random targets,
while Bloodied, this is actually a sequence of actions you
can't control after the initial target has been chosen)
- Slay (if enemy is not killed by the first attack you can make
another action)
- Silent Thorn: (none)
Disengage Attack Without the Need to Disengage
- you can use a disengage attack without being engaged when you want that little
bit of more to your attack, for example Shasek's Kick gives +2 Accuracy
and Silent Thorn's Broadhead Arrow gives +2 Force
- not all disengage attacks give you more Accuracy, Damage or Defense
Energy from Attacks
- amount of Energy from a basic attack depends on did you miss, hit or made a
Critical hit (maximum damage)
- basic melee and projectile attack gives +3 (miss), +5 (hit) or +8 Energy
(Critical hit)
Melee Attack
- a melee attack's strike shape can be an arc or a circle in addition to a blow
to a single target, so keep that in mind when you decide which melee attack to
use, because you may hit your allies also
Multi-hit Melee Attacks
- a multi-hit melee attack strikes at two or more targets at the same time or
very fast sequentially
- examples of multi-hit melee attacks are:
- Baryson: - Blade of Glory (hit targets in front of you)
- Great Swing (strike targets around you in Medium Radius)
- Marcus: - Lance Assault (Disengage and Knockback to all enemies in Small
Range and then attack the nearest enemy)
- Sweep Attack (strike all targets in an arc)
- Shasek: - Blood Rage (damage all targets in Small Radius)
- Rend (melee attack all targets in front of you)
Melee or Projectile
- when comparing the basic attacks that don't require attack Energy, melee can
cause more damage than a projectile depending on the damage type, which
matters when the enemy Fortitude is near the maximum damage of your basic
attacks and you want to finish the enemy, but don't have enough Energy so you
could use an attack that requires Energy
Precision Attacks
- a precision attack is meant to damage a single opponent more or more
accurately/probably than a basic attack
- examples of precision attacks are:
- Baryson: Duel (Engaged, +25% Front Resistance, +4 Force, +2 Accuracy)
- Marcus: Lunge III (+4 Defense, +4 Accuracy)
- Shasek: - Kick (Knockback, Disengage, +2 Accuracy)
- Slay (precision and combo, if enemy is not killed by the first
attack you can make another action, +4 Force, +6 Accuracy)
- Silent Thorn: - Assassinate (Critical Chaos strike, +8 Force, +10
Accuracy, requires Concealed)
- Eviscerate (attack then step away, Hindered, +4 Force,
+8 Accuracy, requires Concealed)
- Viper Arrow (poison arrow, Affliction)
- Void Arrow (Chaos damage, Blinded, +2 Force, +4 Accuracy)
Projectiles and Energy Beams
- projectiles and energy beams that you can use are arrows, bolts, lightning,
retrievable blade (Chakram) and explosives (Burst Chakram and Bolas)
- you can use different kind of projectiles for different kind of situations and
tactics:
- cause damage over time
- hit multiple targets weakening the enemies
- slow down one or more dangerous enemies that should not get close to any
of your team members
- to increase your odds at hitting your enemies you can increase your Accuracy
in the same Ability tree where you have unlocked your power
- examples of projectiles and energy beams are:
- Baryson: Sacred Light (beam, Purifying Flame, damage over time)
- Marcus: Incendiary Bolt (damage over time)
- Muran: - Aetherbolt (beam)
- Fireball (explosive projectile, multi-hit in Medium Range)
- Call Lightning (multi-hit autotarget, hits the chosen enemy and
a random enemy or the same enemy again if there are no near
enemies)
- Soul Syphon (beam)
- Shasek: - Chakram (throw blade at your enemy, if target is not killed
retrieve the blade for a follow-up attack)
- Bolas (explosive projectile, one target, Hindered, Sundered)
- Burst Chakram (explosive projectile, Small Radius)
- Silent Thorn: - Double Shot (shoot two arrows sequentially, Slowed)
- Explosive Arrow (Radiant Damage in Small Radius)
- Quick Shot (Slowed)
- Volley (multiple arrows, Slowed)
Projectile Comparison
- initially Marcus' Incendiary Bolt (Burning: 10 radiant damage /three) causes
more damage than Baryson's Sacred Light (Purifying Flame: 3 radiant damage
/three), but on the other hand Baryson's Sacred Light doesn't cost anything
Random Attacks
- a random attack means your hero attacks a target that is calculated by the
game
- a semi-random attack means that your hero attacks the first target and then
one or more random targets
- examples of semi-random attacks are:
- Muran: Call Lightning (multi-hit autotarget, attack a chosen enemy and a
random enemy or the same enemy again if there are no near enemies)
- Shasek: Bladestorm (combo, attack one enemy and then up to two random
targets, while Bloodied)
Defends
*******
Introduction
With defends I mean protecting, disengaging, weakening and distracting powers.
You can see Revive as defend also. With a defend you can help yourself or your
ally. Defends are for example Baryson's Rebuke, Marcus' Bodyguard and Aura of
Command and Shasek's Savage Roar.
Disengage Attacks and Powers
- when you want yourself or your teammate(s) disengaged from an attack you can
use disengage attacks, powers and buff items for that purpose
- examples of disengage attacks, powers and buff items are:
- Baryson: Rebuke (Radiant attack, Disengaged, Knockback, +2 Force)
- Marcus: - Aura of Command (aggro buff, Disengage in Medium Range,
affected enemies are Taunted)
- Lance Assault (Disengage and Knockback to all enemies in Small
Range and then attack the nearest enemy with +6 Force)
- Shield Smash (attack an enemy causing Disengage and Knockback,
then make another action)
- Muran: Blink (teleporting, Disengage)
- Shasek: - Blood Rage III (Knockback, Disengage, +16 Force)
- Kick (Knockback, Disengage, +2 Accuracy)
- Kick III (turns Kick into multi-hit attack, all targets in
front of you and to your left and right side gain damage,
Knockback, Disengage and Hindered, +2 Accuracy)
- Silent Thorn: - Broadhead Arrow (Slowed /three, Disengaged, +2 Force)
- Shadowstep (Disengaged, Concealed, Emboldened)
Hold Back Powers
- you don't always need to attack the enemy in every turn, instead you can use
your hold back ability for healing, increasing your Energy or otherwise
preparing for the fight
- hold back can be a good option when the enemies are far enough so that they
probably can't attack you yet even with projectiles (arrows)
- hold back abilities for the heroes are:
- Baryson: - Restoration (Cure)
- Restoration II (Mend)
- Restoration III (Regenerate)
- Marcus: - Hold the Line (Angered)
- Hold the Line II (+2 Defense)
- Hold the Line III (+15% Fortitude, +4 Defense)
- Muran: - Meditate (+15% Energy)
- Meditate II (+25% Energy)
- Meditate III (Amplified)
- Shasek: - Seethe (+4 Force)
- Seethe II (Hastened, +6 Force)
- Seethe III (+8 Force)
- Silent Thorn: - Focus (Focused /round)
- Focus II (Focused /three)
- Focus III (Misdirection)
Distraction Powers
- you can use Muran's Stone Warden (stone warden fights for you /five) for
distraction as the first level Stone Warden doesn't seem to cause much of
damage to the enemies (about 3-4 damage per enemy)
Revive
- reviving your allies can be useful, but if you are the only one left and your
Fortitude is very low you could try to run back and heal yourself first if
that is possible without being targeted by projectile enemies (archers) or
enemies who can catch you
- the Revive powers are different for the heroes, which may affect the decision
which hero to use for the revival:
- Baryson: ally gets 100% Fortitude
- Marcus: ally gets +200% Defense /three
- Muran: ally gets Amplified
- Shasek: ally gets +100% Force to all attacks /three
- Silent Thorn: ally can act instantly after reviving
Weakening Powers
****************
Slow Down Enemies
- when you are dealing with dangerous enemies, you can slow them down if you
have any powers or buff items to do so
- for example Silent Thorn can slow down one enemy for one round (Double Shot)
or three rounds (Broadhead Arrow) or she can slow down multiple opponents
(Volley)
- examples of slowing down powers, weapons and buff items:
- Muran: - Blink II (Slowed in Short Range)
- Starseed Talisman (damage and Slowed to all targets in Large
Radius /round)
- Shasek: - Bolas (explosive projectile, one target, Hindered, Sundered, +6
Accuracy)
- Kick II (Hindered, +2 Accuracy)
- Silent Thorn: - Broadhead Arrow (Slowed /three, Disengaged)
- Double Shot (Slowed, shoot two arrows sequentially)
- Quick Shot (Slowed)
- Volley (multiple arrows in Medium Range, Slowed)
Weaken One Enemy
- you can weaken an enemy before other teammates attack that enemy in the same
round or for a longer period than only one round
- for example, you are not supposed to use Bolas alone, because the enemy won't
be Hindered and Sundered the next round
- weakening debuffs are for example:
- Blinded (-50% Range, -25% Accuracy)
- Hindered (-5 Movement, -25% Ranged Resistance)
- Sundered (-25% Defense)
- Weakened (-5 Force, -25% Positional Resistances)

Healing
*******
Cheap Healing
- Crafting Vial of Copperweed (+25% Fortitude) is relatively cheap costing 5
Remnants compared to for example Bottle of Madaras (+10 Fortitude and +5
Energy) costing 10 Remnants
Healer is Missing
- if you have no healer in your team, try unlocking healing potions and
Crafting them
- you can find healing potions from the Abilities or Upgrades screens depending
on the hero you are using
- Vial of Copperweed (+25% Fortitude) might not be enough in some battles
between turns, so try unlocking Flask of Copperweed (+75% Fortitude) later
- some Abilities may increase for example Defense and Front Resistance
- another tactic is to increase the Damage you cause, so that the enemies will
be destroyed earlier, so they can't damage you anymore
Healing Drinks
- healing drinks may seem useless if you have a healer in your team, but the
amount of Energy the healer has is not infinite, so you probably need to use
healing drinks also
- there are situations after a battle where you can Craft healing drinks and
give them to teammates when no Energy is left for healing
- you can use Flask of Copperweed (+75% Fortitude) in fights and Vial of
Copperweed (+25% Fortitude) between fights
- Water of Life II can heal as much as 50% of Fortitude and you get rid of the
Poisoned debuff at the same time, so it's not a useless drink at all
Healing Items for Everyone
- if you notice that one of your teammates has no healing drinks or food there
can be situations where your teammates are in a bad shape and you can't heal
them, because you have no healing items left, so you should craft some more
- check regularly that everyone has healing items and if they don't then let
the one with no healing items loot everything until he also has something to
use in tight situations
Teammates and Allies
********************
Ally vs. Teammate
- in this game, a hero's power or a buff item can be targeted not only towards
your teammates (heroes), but also towards your allies (other non-hostile
characters) close enough to your character, your power's targeting point or a
buff item
- examples of powers and buff items affecting your teammates and allies:
- Amulet of Fury (+8 Force to Shasek and all allies /five)
- Battle Standard (Protected for allies in Large Radius /three)
- Bodyguard II (+4 Defense to allies /two)
- Flame Aura (+25% Radiant Weakness to enemies, +25% Radiant Resistance to
allies)
- Healing Strike (strike and you heal your allies 25% Fortitude in Medium
Radius)
- Sanctuary (+25% Fortitude and Protected for allies in Medium Radius
/three)
- Transference (+5 Energy to an ally)
Friendly Fire
- this game has friendly fire and you will notice that with multi-hit attacks
that include strikes and explosive projectiles
- you can target Muran's Fireball and Baryson's Great Swing outside an enemy
group instead of targeting a certain enemy character, so your teammates won't
get damage if you are accurate enough
- be warned, if Silent Thorn is Concealed she is not safe from multi-hit attacks
- examples of multi-hit attacks that cause damage to your allies:
- Baryson: - Blade of Glory (hit targets in front of you)
- Great Swing (strike targets around you in Medium Radius)
- Marcus: Sweep Attack (strike all targets in an arc)
- Muran: - Fireball (multi-hit in Medium Radius)
- Shatter (multi-hit with a column of sharp stones)
- Shasek: - Bladestorm (attack one enemy and then up to two random targets,
while Bloodied)
- Blood Rage (damage all targets in Small Radius)
- Kick III (turns Kick into multi-hit attack, all targets in front
of you and to your left and right side gain damage, Knockback,
Disengage and Hindered, +2 Accuracy)
- Rend (melee attack all targets in front of you)
- Silent Thorn: Volley (multiple arrows hit targets in Medium Range)
Enemies Near Your Teammates
- because this game usually has friendly fire with some of the multi-hit attacks
you may want to know how to deal damage to enemies that are near your
teammates and allies
- the first thing that comes to mind is using a strike or shoot the enemy with a
basic attack, but there are other ways also
- examples of attacks that don't hurt your teammates if they are near an enemy
are:
- Baryson: Healing Strike (strike and you heal your allies 25% Fortitude in
Medium Radius, +4 Force)
- Marcus: - Lance Assault (Disengage and Knockback to all enemies in Small
Range and then attack the nearest enemy with +6 Force)
- Muran: - Call Lightning (multi-hit autotarget, chosen enemy and a random
enemy or the same enemy again if there are no near enemies)
- Flame Aura (Radiant attack at short range)
- Shasek: Chakram (projectile, throw blade at your enemy, if target is not
killed retrieve the blade for a follow-up attack)
- Silent Thorn: - Assassinate (precision attack, Critical Chaos strike, +8
Force, +10 Accuracy, requires Concealed)
- Eviscerate (precision attack, attack then step away,
Hindered, +4 Force, +8 Accuracy, requires Concealed)
- Viper Arrow (precision attack, Affliction)
- Void Arrow (precision attack, Chaos damage, Blinded, +2
Force, +4 Accuracy)
Energy
******
Full Attack Energy
- if your hero has a full attack Energy and there is only one weak enemy left,
another hero with less attack Energy could use a basic attack to increase his
attack Energy, so he is more prepared for the next fight
Gain Attack Energy
- you can gain attack Energy by using the basic attacks that don't require any
attack Energy
- there are also drinks that give you attack Energy
Skills
******
Already High Skill
- you can increase an already high Skill to increase your odds in situations
where that Skill is crucial like in the Skill Checks
- already high skills at the beginning of the game for the heroes are:
- Baryson: Acrobatics
- Marcus: Stamina
- Muran: Scholar
- Shasek: Athletics
- Silent Thorn: Thievery
Damage
******
Calculating Damage
- the damage is calculated based on your Weapon Level
- your total damage is your current Weapon Level's damage + your Force + any
additional damage by the Power you use
- Weapon Level damages are:
Level Damage
Battleworn 3 - 6
Polished 4 - 8
Fine 5 - 10
Superior 6 - 12
Exceptional 7 - 14
Masterwork 8 - 16
Damage Types
- damage types may have different effects on different kind of enemies, try for
example Radiant attacks on spiders
- damage types are:
- Chaos
- Impact
- Piercing
- Radiant
- elemental damage means all of the above
Minimum Damage
- look at the minimum Damage of an attack and compare it to the enemy's
current Fortitude when you want that if the attack succeeds the enemy will be
finished
Unlocking Abilities and Upgrades
********************************
Diversity of Powers
- you should unlock pretty much every Ability from level 1 and 2 (that don't
just increase one of your Abilities), so you have more attack and defend
options to choose from for different kind of situations (healing, multi-hit,
knockback, projectile, radiant attack, etc.)
- example on how to diversify with Marcus:
- run far to attack your enemy (Battle Charge)
- shoot at your enemy (Barbed Bolt)
- first push your enemy and then attack the same or another one (Shield
Smash)
- combo attack the same or an additional random enemy (Lance Assault)
- help your allies to disengage from their enemies (Aura of Command)
Early Upgrades in Campaign
- upgrading your weapon level from Battleworn (damage 3-6) to Polished (damage
4-8) will give you more damage with the price of only one Godstone and no
other resources
- after receiving your first Renown points (5 points), there should be one
Ability that costs 5 Renown, so look at your Abilities screen
- after upgrading your weapon level from Battleworn to Polished you could
upgrade your armor level from Battleworn to Polished, but remember to keep an
eye on your healing items also
- getting another Pocket early in the game allows you to have two items instead
of one in battles, so you can have two different healing potions or other
items
- with Silent Thorn upgrading Eviscerate first rather than Assassinate might be
wiser, because Assassinate costs more Energy per use, so you won't be using it
all the time (without buffs)
Miscellaneous
*************
Buff Items
- if you activate a buff item it will occupy one of your Pockets, which means
you can only use one other item type in your Pocket (if you have two Gear
Slots) until the buff item stops being active
- in other words, if you have activated a buff item and you have another Gear
Slot, you can only have one type of healing drinks or one type of ammo (or
something else you have with you) in your Pocket
Engaged
- if one your allies is Engaged with an enemy, you may have the possibility to
hit to the back of that enemy and that way cause more damage
Moving
- Muran seems to be able to move the farthest distance in a round using Blink
Pockets
- with a Pocket I mean an additional Gear Slot, but if you have been playing
other video games it can take some time to figure out how to get that
additional space for your items during the battles
- the game calls an additional Pocket with the names like Pouch, Quiver and
Scabbard
- getting an additional Pocket early in the game can be beneficial when you need
more than one pocket for healing and/or other items
Probability to Hit
- damage is not the only measurement in battles, you also need to weigh the
probability for an attack to succeed by looking at the attack information by
pressing the ability long enough
Radius
- there are powers and buff items that have a radius (or range), which can
affect your tactical decision whether to use a certain power on a target or
not
- examples of powers and buff items having a radius (or range):
- Baryson: Great Swing (strike targets around you in Medium Radius)
- Marcus: - Aura of Command (Disengage in Medium Range)
- Battle Standard (Protected for allies in Large Radius /three)
- Muran: - Fireball (multi-hit in Medium Radius)
- Flame Aura (Radiant attack at short range)
- Starseed Talisman (damage and Slowed to all in Large Radius)
- Shasek: - Blood Rage (damage all targets in Small Radius)
- Burst Chakram (explosive projectile, Small Radius)
- Silent Thorn: - Explosive Arrow (Radiant Damage in Small Radius)
- Volley (multiple arrows, multi-hit in Medium Range,
Slowed)
Tough Enemies
- you can use for example Shasek's Chakram against tough enemies (Arbolek
Stonekin, Bloodguard Soldier knight, Collector spider and very big enemies I
will not mention here to avoid spoilers at this point) that can take several
hits before they are killed, because Shasek can attack several times with the
same Chakram without losing it easily, so you don't need to craft them as
often as single use weapons, on the other hand Chakram is not a very accurate
weapon

STATS
================================================================================
Introduction
************
The Stats screen gives you an overview of your hero's abilities. See also your
Abilities and Upgrades screen to see what powers, buffs and crafting skills you
have unlocked.
Fortitude and Energy
********************
- Fortitude: health points
- Energy: attack/defense points
Properties
**********
- Force
- Accuracy
- Defense
Skills
******
- Athletics
- Scouting
- Acrobatics

Attributes
**********

================================================================================
FORTITUDE AND ENERGY
================================================================================
Fortitude
*********
Fortitude means how much your hero has health points left. If your hero's
Fortitude decreases to zero, your hero needs to be revived or he/she will die.
You can increase your hero's Fortitude by drinking potions or eating food that
heal you. Baryson has healing powers (Lay on Hands and Armor of Light) and a
healing attack (Healing Strike) to increase Fortitude.
You usually can increase the maximum possible Fortitude your hero can have from
Abilities or Upgrades. Muran has no unlocks to increase the maximum Fortitude.
Energy
******
Energy is the number of points you can use for attacks, defense and other
actions that require Energy.
There are actions that do not require Energy. Basic attacks, holding back,
reviving your teammate and giving your ally a healing potion or some other buff
item do not require Energy. Muran's Blink and Silent Thorn's Shadowstep do not
require Energy either.
You can get more Energy by making basic attacks. There are drinks that also give
you Energy. Muran's hold back ability Meditate gives her Energy. Muran also has
a power to give Energy to others.
You usually can increase the maximum possible Energy from Abilities or Upgrades.
Baryson and Shasek have no unlocks to increase the maximum Energy.
================================================================================
PROPERTIES
================================================================================
Properties
**********
A hero has three properties, which are Force, Accuracy and Defense.
Force
*****
Force is the base score for calculating how much a successful attack damages the
enemy. The damage is calculated based on your Weapon Level. Your total damage is
your current Weapon Level's damage + your Force + any additional damage by the
Power you use. Weapon Levels and the damage they cause are:
Level Damage
Battleworn 3 - 6
Polished 4 - 8
Fine 5 - 10
Superior 6 - 12
Exceptional 7 - 14
Masterwork 8 - 16
Accuracy
********
Accuracy is used to calculate how probably your hero succeeds in an attack.
Defense
*******
Defense is used to calculate how probably your hero succeeds in evading or
blocking an attack.
================================================================================
SKILLS AND ATTRIBUTES
================================================================================
Skills vs. Attributes
*********************
Do not confuse Skills with Attributes! In short, Skills are for Skill Checks and
Attributes are for fights in the Campaign and Combat Arena.
A Skill has the "book" icon in the Abilities and Upgrades screens.
An Attribute has the "six-pointed star" icon in the Abilities and Upgrades
screens.
Skills
******
Skills are used in Skill Checks in the Campaign, so you don't need them in the
Combat Arena.
Skills are Acrobatics, Athletics, Scholar, Scouting, Shrouding, Stamina and
Thievery.
Acrobatics is used to avoid traps. Athletics is used for opening chests and
destroying obstacles like barricades. Scouting is associated with eavesdropping
and finding hidden items and detecting traps. Shrouding is used to avoid damage
from chaos by detecting traps. Thievery is used for opening chests and doors
with locks. Stamina is used to avoid damage from impact-based traps. Scholar is
used to uncover hidden lore, disarm traps (crossbow trap in mission 1-3) and
unlock magic-based doors and chests. Stamina is not used in Episode 1.
Attributes
**********
Attributes affect your hero's Force, Accuracy and Defense, which are used in
fights.
Attributes are Vitality, Strength, Agility, Insight, Perception and Willpower.
Which Attributes affect your hero's current Force, Accuracy and Defense depends
on which Discipline Tree is used in an attack/defense.
Keep in mind that if you increase your maximum Fortitude or Energy in one of the
Ability trees it will affect your maximum Fortitude or Energy in all
circumstances.
================================================================================
ABILITIES
================================================================================
Abilities and Upgrades
**********************
Some of the Ability Icons are in the Abilities screen and the rest are in the
Upgrades screen. I'm telling this to avoid confusion later in this guide when
I'm mentioning an Ability Icon that is in the Upgrades.
Ability Icons
*************
The Ability Icons can be categorized into Attacks, Defends, Skills, Attributes,
Hold Backs, Revives, Potions, Weapons, Companions, Buffs, Buff Items, Discipline
Tree Buffs, Power Moves, Healing and Looting.
Attack
******
An Attack Ability Icon unlocks enhancements to an Attack you already have or it
unlocks a new Attack you don't have yet.
Defend

Defends are used from the Defend Wheel. For example, you can use protecting,
disengaging and weakening powers like Baryson's Rebuke, Marcus' Bodyguard and
Aura of Command, and Shasek's Savage Roar.
Skill
*****
A Skill Ability Icon has the "book" icon. It increases the Skill it mentions.
You can use Skills in Skill Checks in the Campaign.
Attribute
*********
An Attribute Ability Icon has the "six-pointed star with a triangle". It
increases the Attribute it mentions. Attributes are used to calculate combat
results.
Hold Back
*********
A Hold Back Ability Icon unlocks an enhancement to your hold back power. The
power can for example heal Baryson or give Muran more Energy. Hold back powers
are Baryson's Restoration, Marcus' Hold the Line, Muran's Meditate, Shasek's
Seethe and Silent Thorn's Focus.

A Revive Ability Icon is already unlocked for all of the heroes. You can lift up
a defeated hero who is not dead yet.

Muran has the temporary companion Stone Warden. It will attack your enemies.
Buff
****
A Buff Ability Icon has the "ten-pointed star with a drop". A Buff enhances the
way you attack or defend or it may increase for example your maximum Fortitude
or Energy. As an example, Shasek has Buff unlocks for his Bloodied state.
Buff Item
*********
A Buff Item Ability Icon unlocks an item that gives you an advantage when that
item is used. For example, a buff item might increase one of your skills.
Discipline Tree Buff
********************
Discipline Tree Buff Ability Icons are the leftmost icons on each Ability tree
screen. They enhance your hero for that particular Discipline Tree. It may for
example increase your Force, Accuracy, Defense, Range, Movement or resistance
for some damage type.
Power Move

A Power Move Ability Icon unlocks enhancements for your Power Move. Muran has
Blink and Silent Thorn has Shadowstep.

*******
A Healing Ability Icon unlocks a healing power or enhancements for a healing
power. Baryson has Lay on Hands and Armor of Light. Baryson's hold back power
Restoration also heals, but only Baryson.

ABILITY TREES
================================================================================
Introduction
************
Here are some things I noticed when I compared the Ability trees regarding what
they have to offer. You may skip this section as it doesn't teach you much on
tactics or upgrading.
Attacks
*******
- the first Ability tree usually contains multi-hit attacks, but the second
Ability tree may also have them
- the second Ability tree usually contains projectile attacks, but the first
Ability tree may also have them
- the first and second Ability tree may also contain combo attacks
- the third Ability tree is usually for defending, disengaging and healing
Force, Accuracy and Defense
***************************
- the first Ability tree most often gives points to Force and Accuracy
- the second Ability tree most often gives points to Accuracy
- the third Ability tree gives points to Force, Accuracy and Defense quite
evenly
Skills
******
- the first Ability tree most often gives points to Athletics and Acrobatics
- the second Ability tree most often gives points to Athletics, Scouting and
Stamina
- the third Ability tree most often gives points to Shrouding and Scholar
Attributes
**********
- the first Ability tree usually gives only one point to one of the Attributes
- the second Ability tree usually gives one or two points to the Attributes
- the third Ability tree gives almost no points to the Attributes for any hero
================================================================================
EQUIPMENT LEVELS
================================================================================
Equipment Levels: Costs and Perks
*********************************
"Equipment" or officially known as Upgrades (weapons and armor) have the same
names for the levels, but those levels give different kind of perks. Weapon
levels give your hero attack points. Armor levels give you Fortitude or Energy
points.
Depending on your hero you will get Fortitude or Energy from the second
unlockable level (Polished) and so on. For example Muran and Silent Thorn get
+3 Fortitude from the Polished level and Baryson gets +3 Energy.
LEVEL COST WEAPON ARMOR
Godstone Precious Common Remnants Damage Points
Battleworn - - - - 3 - 6 -
Polished 1 0 0 0 4 - 8 +3 For/Energy
Fine 2 60 60 60 5 - 10 +3 For/Energy
Superior 3 80 80 60 6 - 12 +5 For/Energy
Exceptional 4 90 90 90 7 - 14 +5 For/Energy
Masterwork 5 100 100 120 8 - 16 +5 For/Energy

================================================================================
BARYSON
================================================================================
- Lord Baryson from Edgemont in Wymark, Crusader of Meldon
- background: Order of Light and Truth sent Baryson to destroy Zaquent's Wish
(orb of power)
- interesting attacks: Great Swing (multi-hit), Blade of Glory (multi-hit),
Healing Strike, Rebuke (radiant)
- interesting defends: Lay on Hands (healing)
- interesting powers: Restoration: you can use this in combat when you are out
of healing potions and Energy (which is required for healing)
- interesting drinks: Water of Life (+10 Fortitude, remove all negative status
effects), Water of Life II (+25 Fortitude)
- tactics: heal yourself and teammates while attacking the enemy (Healing
Strike), heal teammates in a radius (Sanctuary)
- tactics: if you see a lot of enemies around you, you could use Healing Strike
instead of a multi-hit attack (Great Swing), because you probably will get a
lot of damage in the following rounds from the enemies and a multi-hit attack
is not very successful every time
- tactics: if you see a large group of enemies near you before a fight and they
haven't reached you yet, but you have a hunch you are their main target in the
next round, you can use Restoration to give you healing in the next three
rounds and it doesn't even cost you Energy to do so
- tactics: you can first use Restoration in the beginning of a fight and then a
Healing Strike for even more healing
- tactics: Healing Water removes a Poisoned debuff, so you or your teammate will
not get damage from the cured poisoning in the following rounds
- warning: all of Baryson's multi-hit attacks are impossible to estimate how far
they will reach your allies, so keep Baryson far away from your allies
- warning: if Baryson is using Blade of Glory and there is a two character's
distance from Baryson to your allie, then the allie will get hurt

enemies (Lance Assault, Shield Smash, Aura of Command) and provoke enemies
(Barbed Bolt,Bodyguard, Aura of Command) to attack you, so you take as much
damage as possible from the enemies instead of your teammates, but that means
you should take care of protecting yourself from damage (Aura of Command II,
Battle Charge II, Skirmisher) and increasing your Stamina (Field Medic, Body
Conditioning)
- tactics: protect your allies from aggro and damage: Bodyguard (-100%
Aggression for your ally), Bodyguard II (+4 Defense to allies /two)

RESOURCES
================================================================================
Introduction
************
Resources are the items that will help you increase your Abilities and
"Equipment" (Upgrades). You can also use them to craft potions and ammo.
Renown
******
Renown is what you can think of as experience found in other games. Renown is
only used for unlocking Abilities. You get Renown by finishing Quests. See your
Quests Screen to see your Objectives.
Godstone
********
Godstone is only used for increasing your Equipment (weapons and armor) levels,
but you also need other resources for leveling (except with the first weapon
level). You get Godstone by visiting a Save Point (Destiny Stone) for the first
time, so remember to get close enough of all the Save Points you find.
Precious, Common and Remnants

VI COMBAT ARENA
================================================================================
================================================================================
Introduction
************
The following advice is NOT for the hardcore gamers. In the beginning of a new
Combat Arena session you are given some resources (e.g. 350 Renown), which you
can use to unlock Abilities and upgrade your Equipment (armor and weapons).
Combat Arena 1 is about fighting waves of enemy hordes. Arena 2 is about
stopping a ritual.
In Arena 1 you start a new Wave by selecting the Mysterious Sigil at the middle
of the Combat Arena level. There is a Boss Wave every five waves (Wave 5, 10, 15
and so on) where you get more probably Precious and the amount of Remnants
should be larger also. If you unlock Crafting abilities remember to craft those
items also, so you can use them in combat.
Combat Arenas
*************
1 The Hall of Penitence
2 The Cultist Rising
Enemies in Combat Arena 1
*************************
Selection of enemies for each Wave is random, so that the Waves differ in each
gaming session to make it more interesting. For example, there can be only one
strong enemy in Wave 2 or a few weaker ones. Below are examples of some of the
enemies and enemy types (including Fortitude) you may encounter:
- Arbolek Spine Tyrant
- Arbolek Stonekin
- Bloodguard Commander
- Bloodguard Soldier
- Champion Bloodguard Heavy Soldier
- Collector
- Corrupted Harvester
- Guard Dog
- Harvester
- Hound War Dog
- Jormund
- Man at Arms Bloodguard Soldier
- Mister Muzzles
- Mongrel Attack Dog
- Sellsword Archer
- Sellsword Hound Master
- Sellsword Marksman
- Sellsword Sergeant
- Sellsword Skirmisher
- Sellsword Sniper
- Slave Hundari Forgeborn
Enemies in Combat Arena 2
*************************
- Slave Soulless Aberrant
- Soulless Wrack
- Zaquentist Channeler
Comments About the Enemies
**************************
Arbolek Stonekin
- multi-hit attacks
Collector
- causes Poisoned
Corrupted Harvester
- causes Poisoned
Harvester
- gives birth to about Brown Recluse Spiders
Jormund
- combo attacks
- summons Mister Muzzles
Man at Arms Bloodguard Soldier
- uses Engaged and that way the hero can't use all his or her attacks
Sellsword Hound Master
- summons a War Dog
Looting
*******
You usually get Common from humans and Remnants from animals. From some human
enemies you may get Precious like the knights (Bloodguard Soldier).
You should get more Precious from the toughest enemies. Make sure every hero
gets their unlocks from the Upgrades in the long run to be able to better fight
the enemies. You can track your Precious and other resources from the top of the
Controller App.
Resources at the Beginning of an Arena Session
**********************************************
350 Renown
3 Godstone
100 Precious
100 Common
100 Remnants
Armor and Weapon Level
**********************
If you haven't used any of your resources for any weapon and armor upgrades and
you haven't used your resources for crafting either, after finishing Wave 5
(Boss Wave) you should have one more Godstone and a possibility to unlock either
your weapon or armor level.
The cost to unlock anything in the Exceptional level can be too high as you
don't get much Precious or Common by looting in the Waves. For example Baryson's
Restoration III costs 1 Godstone, 65 Precious and 70 Common. Muran's Stone
Strike III costs 1 Godstone, 50 Precious, 70 Common and 15 Remnants.
If you are playing on Easy difficulty in about Wave 16 you might be able to
unlock one of the Ability Icons in Exceptional level by not crafting any Energy
potions. But in higher difficulty levels you probably want to craft Energy
potions to keep your Energy as high as possible in case of unexpected and
difficult situations.
Ability Levels
**************
You have the Ability Level 6 at the beginning of a Combat Arena session. If you
look at the Abilities screen, you will notice you need 65 Renown points for
Level 7. You reach the Ability Level 7 at about enemy Wave 8, Ability Level 8 at
about enemy Wave 17 (two waves after the second Boss Wave), Ability Level 9 at
about enemy Wave 24 and Ability Level 10 at about enemy Wave 32.
Energy
******
It can be wise to keep your Energy as high as possible all the time for
difficult situations. You may need a multi-hit attack at the beginning of a wave
or a bit later when the enemies gather around one or more heroes. You get more
Energy by making basic attacks or by drinking potions that give you Energy. Your
Energy increasing potion should already be unlocked for you. Depending on your
character you can craft a Bottle of Madaras (+10 Fortitude and +5 Energy) or a
Myrthvein Vial (+5 Energy). Shasek is an exception: he can't craft either of
them.
Fortitude
*********
You can get more Fortitude by drinking healing potions (or by using Baryson's
healing powers). For some of the heroes you need to unlock the appropriate
crafting ability for the potion first.
Marcus, Muran, Shasek and Silent Thorn can craft a Vial of Copperweed (+25%
Fortitude) and later a Flask of Copperweed (+75% Fortitude). Marcus can also
craft a Bottle of Madaras (+10 Fortitude and +5 Energy).
Baryson can craft a Water of Life (+10 Fortitude and remove all negative status
effects) and later a Water of Life II (+25 Fortitude and remove all negative
status effects).
Healing and Energy Potions
**************************
It is possible that not everyone in your team needs to have a healing or an
energy potion unlocked. If you have Baryson in your team, you can use Healing
Strike often.
Pockets
*******
Let's assume you have two Pockets and the other one contains a healing potion
and the other one an energy potion. When you are in combat your Fortitude may
begin to decrease rapidly, so instead of first drinking an energy potion and
then making an attack in the next round (if your hero still has enough Fortitude
to stay up), you probably want to heal yourself or an ally before you are all
dead. So, if you won't be using energy potions in combat, then you don't need
another Pocket. Sure, you can use a buff item, but you can use it on your ally
and that way the ally won't need another Pocket for a healing potion. If you
have Muran in your team, she might be able to give you energy if she is not
Engaged at that moment.
Saving Resources
****************
If you want to save resources for later, then maybe you only need to unlock the
healing and energy potions first. Then you could upgrade your basic powers next,
because you will be using them a lot to increase your Energy. They don't cost
you Energy when you use them, but they will damage the enemies more when they
have been upgraded.
Baryson's Water of Life is important against the Poisoned debuff. Marcus' Battle
Charge III gives more Force and Defense. Muran's basic attack Soul Syphon II
(Level 7) gives Muran more Energy and increases Accuracy. Blink II helps you
move away from enemies, because they are slowed down. Call Lightning III (Level
8) strikes at more enemies. Shasek's Chakram is already unlocked, so I suggest
you craft one but only one at the beginning, so you can attack a stronger enemy
twice (maybe after killing weaker opponents first with Double Slice), on the
other hand Chakram is not a very accurate weapon. Silent Thorn's basic attack
Void Blade increases damage and weakens enemies. Double Shot increases damage.
Shadowstep III weakens enemies' resistance to Radiant and Chaos damage for two
more rounds.
Suggested Order of Unlocks
**************************
Here are my suggestions for the order of unlocks in Abilities and Upgrades for
each hero for the Combat Arena game mode. You can't unlock everything mentioned
here immediately or even later, so choose wisely. For some of the items you need
to wait until you reach Ability Level 7 after about eight enemy Waves. It will
take even longer to reach Ability Level 8 or more.

Comments About Some of the Unlocks
**********************************
Baryson: Sanctuary (+25% Fortitude and Protected for allies in Medium Radius
/three). Costs too much to craft (100 Precious and 50 Remnants).
Marcus: Aura of Command III (gain +100% Aggression). This costs a lot of Energy
to use and doesn't damage the enemies and doesn't protect your hero much.
Marcus: Battle Charge III (+2 Force, +6 Defense). I don't use this much, but
more often than Sweep Attack. I usually unlock this later.
Marcus: Battle Standard (Protected for allies in Large Radius /three). Costs too
much to craft (100 Precious and 50 Remnants).
Marcus: Lance Assault II (Disengage and Knockback to all enemies in Small Range
and then attack the nearest enemy with _+10 Force_). There are a lot of useless
Abilities to unlock first, so consider is it worth it at least in the beginning
of a Combat Arena session.
Marcus: Sunder II (Sundered /round, _+2 Force_). Doesn't improve the Property
much, but costs a lot of resources.
Marcus: Sweep Attack II (+2 Force). This attack is difficult to use near allies.
I prefer having Baryson in my team, so I can use Healing Strike to heal everyone
near him, so I can't use Sweep Attack much.
Muran: Stone Warden (stone warden /five, warden makes multi-hit attacks, damage
per enemy is about 3-4, cost 12 Energy, location of this power is in the Defense
Wheel). Might work as a distraction, but can be quite useless as it doesn't
damage the enemy much.
Shasek: Bladestorm II (attack one enemy and then up to two random targets,
Hastened, while Bloodied). This makes Shasek more dangerous to his allies as
Shasek can move farther to blindly damage anyone on his way. This is a risky
ability to use, but sometimes it can come in handy for example when Shasek is
the last one alive or his teammates are far away.
Shasek: Bolas (explosive projectile, one target, Hindered, Sundered, +6
Accuracy). Doesn't seem to be very useful, but remember that this is a weakening
attack and your allies are supposed to attack next. The maximum number of
Pockets in this game is two, so I prefer Chakram and a healing drink instead.
Shasek: Kick III (turns Kick into multi-hit attack) is already unlocked. Avoid
using it near other heroes, because it will hurt them!
Shasek: Seethe II (Hastened, +6 Force). It might not always be useful to be able
to attack enemies farther away from your teammates, because you may need
healing and your allies might be too far away to help you in time. On the other
hand, maybe Shasek can be the one who heals. This Ability also increases your
Force, which means more damage.
Silent Thorn: Viper Arrow (Affliction). In Combat Arena mode there is not enough
Common to make these arrows much. If you are playing in Madness difficulty try
to use about three of these and only in Wave 30 (and maybe later) if you are
trying to get the Steam Achievement for 30 Waves in Madness for Episode 1 Combat
Arena.
Avoid Unlocking Skills
**********************
Skills are used in Skill Checks in the Campaign, so you don't need them in
Combat Arena. Skills are Acrobatics, Athletics, Scholar, Scouting, Shrouding,
Stamina and Thievery.
Do not confuse Skills with Attributes!
Attributes affect your hero's Force, Accuracy and Defense. Attributes are
Vitality, Strength, Agility, Insight, Perception and Willpower. Which
Attributes affect your hero's current Force, Accuracy and Defense depends on
which Discipline Tree is used in an attack/defense.

ABOUT THE MAPS
================================================================================
Introduction
************
Here are the maps all in one chapter, so if you have already played this game,
but need a reminder where things are, you can just go from one map to another
while playing the Campaign missions.
Area Names
**********
Area names are given for example by activity (FIGHT1), dead end (END1), item
(ALTAR, BLACKMESS, CHEST1), large doorway (DOOR1), room (KITCHEN), save point
(SAVE1), skill test (SKILLTEST, EAVESDROP), or a person (VYRANDUS). An area name
can also be on two horizontal lines instead of one.
Symbols
*******
- horizontal (-), vertical (|) and diagonal (/ and ) bars are usually routes,
but they may also mean a wall for a big area
- asterisk (*) denotes a room that is not very interesting, but of course it may
contain treasures, so check those rooms also
- cross (+) means a turn in a route or a corner in a wall
- tilde (~) denotes a central place in a map
- quotation mark (") means a secret route
- words in parentheses (MAP2) mean the route continues to the next map
- words in braces {MAINHALL} mean the room is marked in the same map again,
because you can go around the whole map clockwise or counterclockwise
infinitely like in the mission 1-2 The Portal Obstinate
Map of the Continent
********************
The Map of the Continent (below) has UPPER CASE letters for bigger areas and
Start Case letters for smaller areas like cities, mountains and such. The
Shimmering Sea and the Embersley Island are inside parentheses as they are
outside the continent.
================================================================================
MAP OF THE CONTINENT
================================================================================
The map of the continent, or world, is shown on the intro videos for the heroes
of this game. The world is called Arilia. Baryson is from the northwest area of
the map where you can see Wymark and Edgemont. Marcus is from Gray near Averim
Valley, Muran is from Easthaven near city of Illiar, Shasek is from Neskarl
Peninsula, and Silent Thorn is from Old Yriel.

Story
*****
Every hero has an interest in the Tarnum Fortress, which is built on top of the
Eon Altar. Eon Altar is the birthplace of mankind. People are on their way to
Path of Pilgrimage.
Tactical Tips for This Mission
******************************
If you have Marcus, try the Shield Smash against dogs. If you have Shasek try
using his Rend (multi-hit melee) first when your other teammates are not near
him. If you have a hero that can shoot, try shooting the enemies far away. If
your teammates are not too close try the multi-hit attacks, which are for
example Baryson's Blade of Glory and Great Swing, Marcus' Sweep Attack and
Muran's Fireball.
Items at the Beginning of the Mission
*************************************
You have no Gear activated (in your Pocket), so you may want to put a healing
drink there.
You have no Renown or Godstone yet, so you can't upgrade your Abilities or
Equipment (Upgrades).
Skill Checks in This Mission
****************************
Most of the skill checks in this mission are for Athletics, so you may want to
lead with an athletic hero, but in the end it shouldn't matter much. If your
hero has a low Athletics score it just takes more attempts to open chests.
Athletics points for the heroes at the beginning of this mission are: Shasek 12,
Marcus 7, Baryson 4, Silent Thorn 3 and Muran 2.
With Silent Thorn you can use Thievery to open locked chests. Her Thievery level
is 12 at the beginning of this mission.
There is also at least one Scouting Check (eavesdropping).
With Muran you can make a Shrouding Check (destroy an obstacle).

At this point everyone should be able to unlock one Upgrade. You may need to
trade Common, Precious and Remnants among each other to do so. Trading is
teached later in this Episode. If you have Muran or Silent Thorn you can unlock
another "Pocket" (Gear Slot).
Reward for reaching this Save Point for the first time: one Godstone.

Sometimes you need to make a Skill Check to be able to do something like open a
chest or remove an obstacle. See "Cart (Skill Check, Obstacle)" below for an
example of a Skill Check.
You can use your Move Marker to preview your chance of succeeding at a Skill
Check.
Cart (Skill Check, Obstacle)
****************************
Skill Challenge
- destroy an obstacle
- Athletics, difficulty 3
- Shrouding, difficulty 0 (for Muran)
Lesson: Stats
*************
Stats screen shows information about your hero's Skills, Attributes, etc.
Force, Accuracy, Defense, Base Damage and Resistances are used in fights.
Lesson: Skills and Attributes
*****************************
Skills are Acrobatics, Athletics, Scholar, Scouting, Shrouding, Stamina and
Thievery. Skills are used in Skill Checks, so you don't need them in fights.
Attributes are Vitality, Strength, Agility, Insight, Perception and Willpower.
Attributes affect your hero's Force, Accuracy and Defense. Which Attributes
affect your hero's current Force, Accuracy and Defense depends on which
Discipline Tree is used in an attack/defense.
Keeper Segran
*************
Fight the enemies first.
If you are playing with more than one hero pick the one with no healing powers.
That hero should then heal Keeper Segran as you probably get healing potions
when you use the key Keeper Segran will give you.
Keeper Segran will appear later in this mission again. Heal him with a Vial of
Copperweed (+25% Fortitude). Remember to target Keeper Segran first or you will
heal yourself.
Reward: key to a Keeper cache.
Lesson: Using a Healing Item
****************************
Activate the Top Menu and go to the Gear Screen. Put the potion, drink or food
to your "Pocket" by tapping it. If you have already too many items selected then
deselect them first. You can heal yourself by tapping the Self Button and then
the healing item (potion, drink or food).
Lesson: Crafting Healing Potions and Other Items
************************************************
You need to learn the recipe to craft a healing potion first before you can
craft it. After unlocking the crafting skill you can find your healing potion
power from the Abilities or Upgrades screen depending on which hero you are
using and which item you are going to craft. Raw materials for crafting are
Common ("rock" icon), Precious ("gold" icon) and Remnants
("chemlab" icon).
Statues West of Keeper Segran (Area "Heroes of Virelon")
********************************************************
Sheb Rashal
- historical character
- last of the Sellsword Kings (you have fought against Sellswords)
- betrayed Thaddeus Gray
- Tytheri (same race as Shasek)
- head is like a lion's head
- Lady Allevia will mention him later
Thaddeus Gray
- historical character
- founder of the Kingdom of Gray (Marcus is from Gray)
- short beard, looks like Abraham Lincoln (16th president of USA)
- during the Myrodian Invasion, thousand years ago, he found powers from the Eon
Altar and used those powers to win his enemies
Upward Slope to Northeast
*************************
There is a bend on the road towards a bridge on east.
Save Point 2 (Area "The Ramparts")
**********************************
You get one Godstone here. For one hero it might be possible to unlock the
Polished level now for your armor as you did with your weapon earlier using the
Upgrades screen.
Steps Up (Area "The Ramparts")
******************************
Lesson: First Strike (See Fight 4)
**********************************
Strike first on enemies that have their backs to you. In some rare situations
you can sneak past an enemy without fighting (see Fight 5).
In Fight 4 if you go approximately to the fifth step on the stairs you probably
get the first enemy to make his allies know you are close to them. That can be a
good thing, because now you can retreat back by using heroes who can shoot at
the enemies. This way there will be less enemies simultaneously around you, so
you have more time to heal your heroes if that needs to be done.
Fight 4 (Near Interrogatee and Cache)
*************************************
Enemy Types
- Attack Dog
- Pilgrim
- Sellsword Sergeant
- Sellsword Skirmisher
You may need to fight multiple times in this area until the area is clear of
hostiles. There is at least one guard in north moving from west to east and
back. It is possible to shoot that guard, but the enemies probably notice it.
If you kill the enemies west first some enemies may remain east and you should
be able to shoot at one or two of them before their turn begins depending on how
many of heroes of your team can shoot.
One suggestion is to go south first, so you may get a chance to heal your
teammates without being attacked at the same time.
Lesson: Non-Hostile Characters (See "Interrogatee" Below)
*********************************************************
Non-Hostile Characters are marked with Yellow Rings below them.
Talking to Non-Hostiles
- you can talk to to a non-hostile character by targeting him with your Move
Marker and selecting the Talk Power on your Power Wheel
Interrogatee
************
Exhausted (or Injured) Sellsword Skirmisher
- after talking to him avoid killing him in case other players want to
interrogate him also, so they will also get Renown
- the Skirmisher works for Jormund ("Wolf of Yriel") who will appear in a later
mission
- to Shasek he mentions the Portal Obstinate which you will see later in this
game
- Reward: 2 Renown
Lesson: Talking to Teammates
****************************
You can learn more about your teammates by starting a conversation dialog. To
discuss with a teammate target a teammate, select the Speech Bubble and then
Talk.
Lesson: Trading Resources
*************************
You can trade resources with your teammates. To trade with a teammate target a
teammate, select the Speech Bubble and then Request Resources.
Cache (West of Interrogatee)
****************************
When you enter the Fight 4 area you may see a dialogue saying something like
"This looks where the Keeper Segrant told you to look. His stash must be around
here, somewhere." Only the character who received the key from Keeper Segrant
can open the chest and the cursor near the chest has the same color as that
character's Move Marker color. Hint: there is a pig being roasted near the
chest.

Fight 5 (Wall)
**************
There are some guards at the wall. They are all archers (Sellsword Archer).
There is an alternative route to this area from the Interrogatee.
Tactics: you see four dead people with arrows on their bodies. You should be
able to walk on top of the last body and then use a projectile or an energy beam
(if your hero has any of those powers) against the enemies.

Statue of Larethis
- Goddess of Nature, Earth Mother
- long hair, a long robe and petal-like leafs
- Myrth and Dagaz created Larethis

Bridge to Northeast
*******************
Big Fight
*********
There are more enemies than usual. Before beginning the fight you may want go
back and save your game at the nearest Save Point. At this point you may have
enough resources to unlock items in your Equipment screens (weapons and armor).
For example, you might be able to unlock Duel for Baryson, Quick Shot II for
Silent Thorn and/or Flame Aura for Muran. You may also want to use a buff item
before fighting.
You can try to go against enemies on the left first as not all the enemies are
striking and shooting at you at the beginning of the fight. If you have Baryson,
Marcus or Muran you can try their multi-hit attacks when your teammates are not
near their targets and they have enough Energy for those attacks.
Instead of everyone going to the same direction you can scatter around so
everyone with multi-hit attacks can more easily use those attacks.
Instead of only shooting at the archers you can try to run towards them and
strike them (I mean using only one turn to move and strike when you are near
enough). Shasek may be able to take two archers down with the basic multi-hit
attack (Rend).
The fight should start when you have walked up all the four steps on stairs near
the Medium Chest (Athletics 6 Skill Check).
Enemy Types
- Sellsword Archer
- Sellsword Marksman

- Sellsword Skirmisher

Black Mess (West of Save Point 4)
*********************************
It looks like a Keeper has turned into stone and there is black mess on the
ground after some dark arcane power has been used. Reward: 2 Renown.
Eavesdropping
*************
Scouting Check (Skill Check) with Difficulty 6 for Eavesdropping.
Scouting points for the heroes at the beginning of this mission are: Marcus 8,
Muran 6, Silent Thorn 6, Baryson 3 and Shasek 3.
If you succeed in the Skill Check you find out that Captain Jormund is the
Sellsword talking with the Bloodguard with the knight armor. Guild Lord is
mentioned. Mission begins: Find What Killed the Keepers.
Fight with the Knight
*********************
Defeat the Bloodguard Soldier.
Gates to the Fortress (Area "Myrth's Court")
********************************************
You may want to visit the nearest previous Save Point before this fight. Check
your Fortitude and Gear also. You can increase your Attack Energy with drinks if
you think you need them.
Statue at Left
- Meldon (wings, spatha-like straight sword and not much of clothes) defeating
Zaquent (spider-like, six hands), God of Chaos
Statue at Right
- Eihwaz (woman with a double-bladed battle axe, long cloak, headband and leg
protection) capturing Dagaz (two daggers), ending the God Wars
- Meldon condemned Dagaz to an eternity deep underground in Arilia
There will be a vote about how to get through the gates. There are different
ways of getting the gates open. For example Baryson can talk to the guards,
Muran can destroy the gates and Shasek can climb and attack a guard.
Fight against the enemies and go inside.
Inside the the Fortress (Area "Tarnum Fortress")
************************************************
The lighting changes when you go in and you see a big table with candles.
Save Point 5
************
Video
*****
The Guild leader with his hovering red orb thingy gets away and the big door
gets closed behind him.
Fight (Hall of Penitence)
*************************
You will choose a battle shout before the fight.
It is still possible to upgrade your Abilities and Equipment after the battle
shout if no-one moves too close towards the enemies. For example, you might be
able to unlock another "Pocket" for items and your armor level to Polished to
increase Fortitude.
With Shasek you probably can craft Chakrams if your teammates give you resources
if you don't have them enough. You can use Chakrams against the strongest
enemies, which are the knights (Bloodguard Soldier) as the hero can make two
strikes with the Chakram if the first one doesn't kill the enemy. About two
Chakrams should be enough if you use other attacks also.
If you have Marcus, you can use Battle Charge against the knights, so they
can't hit the weaker heroes in your team so often.
Start the fight by going west, northwest, northeast, east or the middle. I
prefer going to west or northwest. You can try going very near the west edge so
there is as much distance from the enemies as possible before they can get to
you.
If you see no enemies near your heroes after defeating the enemies on west try
the hold back ability instead of moving anywhere. This way maybe only some of
the enemy groups come towards you and not all of them at the same time. When
they come close enough try to shoot them instead of moving towards them.

go from the right (east) door near Vyrandus and then go north from the
intersection of the stairs.

Hall of Penitence
*****************
Grand Keeper Vyrandus
- Ask about Old Tarnum
- Ask what lies beyond
- Ask about the Eon Altar
Keeper Segran
- wants to talk about a large feral creature
- you vote whether to help or not, but you should be able to go to the

- at this point your Ability Level should be around 4
Fight 1 (North and Then West of Hall of Penitence) (Area "Old Tarnum")
**********************************************************************
Three Rooms
- you enter a room that is at the center of a three room group
- the central room has two parts with a wall and a doorway between them
Jormund

Marcus
- you need to move very carefully to right/east close to the wall to avoid this
trap
Enemy Types

- Sellsword Sergeant
- Sellsword Skirmisher
Save Point 1 (Northwest of Fight 1)
***********************************
Lock Room (East of Save Point 1)
********************************
You can attack or wait when you see a man going to pick a lock. Instead of
trying to approach the man directly from your starting point southwest you can
try to sneak him from behind from east near the east wall, so go east and then
approach him carefully. If you have Silent Thorn with you that man should open
the door and go inside.
Save Point 2 (North of Lock Room)
*********************************
You can save your game progress by visiting this Save Point from south or north.
Rats
****
There are rats near Save Point 2 (one group) and northeast of Save Point 2. You
can kill them all in Dungeon 2 by going northeast of Save Point 2 where you see
more rats (two groups), so that the rats should flee to Dungeon 2 when they see
you.
Switches 1-4 and A-C
********************
Lets call switches in Switch Area and Dungeon 1 as switches 1, 2, 3 and 4 to
avoid confusion with switches A, B and C in Dungeon 2.
Switch Area (Northwest of Save Point 2)
***************************************
Switches 1-3 affecting Dungeon 1
- Switch 1 (west): open/close Cell 2 (nearest to the east) and Cell 3 (middle
cell on west)
- Switch 2 (middle): open/close Cell 5 (farthest to the east) and Port
- Switch 3 (east): open/close Cell 1 (nearest to the west), Cell 4 (middle
cell on east) and Port
Suggested order of using the Switches 1-3: a) Switch 2 to open the Dungeon 1
port and open the cell farthest to the left, b) Switch 1 to open cells 2 and 3,
c) Switch 3 to open cells 1 and 4, and finally d) Switch 2 to open the Dungeon 1
port to kill the creatures you have released.
You may not want to use all the switches immediately, but kill the enemies that
come out each time you have used a switch. Also, some cell doors get opened and
closed by more than one switch, so going back and forth from switches 1-3 to
Dungeon 1 is my recommendation, but you can experiment as much as you like.
If there are more than one playing this game at the same time, you can leave
other players inside Dungeon 1 when one of you presses the switches, so you will
be able to get into all the cells that can be opened.
Dungeon 1 (Southwest of Switch Area)
************************************
Switches
1 2 3
Port
Cell 1 Cell 2
Cell 3 Cell 4
(Cell X) Cell 5
Switch 4
In Dungeon 1 there is one cell, Cell X, you can't open.
Switch 4 closes/opens the Dungeon 1 port.
Dungeon 2 (Northwest of Switch Area)
************************************
(Cell E) Cell C Cell A
Keeper Switch C Switch B Switch A
Cage
Cell F Cell D Cell B
There should be about 9 rats near Switch C if you have scared them first near
the Save Point 2 and two locations northeast of Save Point 2. The man picking
the lock in Lock Room should be here also if you didn't kill him.
You may want to have only one hero use Switch A or Switch B and keep the other
team members far away from that switch, because Arbolek Stonekin probably
strikes at all of the team members near the switch and you probably don't want
to lose any unnecessary Fortitude.
Switch A (first switch)
- open/close cells A, B and D
Switch B (second switch)
- open/close cells C and D
Switch C (third switch)
- open/close cells F and D
Dead Keeper
- ornate key
Destroyed Cage
Enemy Types
- Arbolek Stonekin
- can make multi-hit attacks
- Collector

General Advice at the Beginning of This Episode
***********************************************

upgraded them evenly. The first three levels are Battleworn, Polished and Fine.
Some heroes may have Superior unlocked for weapons or armor also.
Suggested Order of Visiting the Areas
*************************************
Go west to Tomb of Prince Branomir first as the Soulless may be easier to fight
with (or it makes no difference).

learn more about death" (Marcus).
