True Warrior Quests

[SirQuester]

Elita and myself were killing things going through the UW areas (ok really it was her Daemon doing the killing while my Dwarf followed her like a puppydog :p) and she ended up completing this series of quests to become a True Warrior. The rewards you get are a unique Easter Egg weapon for a BattleMage and 2 skill and attribute points in Bronze.

1. The Squire - This is in the Dwarven Ruins across the first bridge. Rather a quick quest to complete.

2. The Master - He's West of Purgatori across a bridge, then south.

3. Weapon of Legends - You'll find this in the Embalmed Forest, also in the southwest portion. Better watch out for those Nuk Nuk's!

4. The Monster of the Forest - Head over to the Dryad Forest, northwest of the portal, to fight a big Golem but remember to have the Weapon of Legends equipped to damage the Golem.

5. Book of Wisdom - The easiest way for this one is to just use the UW portal to get to Valley of Tears. The baddies to fight are right at the portal.


Now, supposedly the second portal in the Dryad Forest (northwest part) is supposed to avtivate afterwards, leading to another Easter Egg that many people will recognise but it wasn't activated after Elita finished the quests. If someone knows more about this, please post.

Also, this series of quests can be done for each level difficulty, with more points the higher you go.

Thanks for me finding out about becoming a True Warrior go completely to my lady love. ;)

[Sanny]

I have done the first one many times but i never realised it was part of a bigger quest. Thanx u two for finding this out sounds like a great quest to complete, i am gonna look to do this wehn i can :D

[Wrage]

A big thanks to Elita and SQ for helping me to do this quest!! It was a lot of fun and I really appreicate all the time you guys, (well Elita anyway ;)) took to help me get through it. And SQ we couldn't have done it without your portals! (plus we needed someone to tease along the way to keep the good spirits up lol!) More fun than I had in a long time...now if I could just get Mortis in UW and give him the book, what am I going to do with a BM weapon?!? :D

[Lady Alynor]

As most already know, Thorin and I are trying to do this one... now without the active help of SirQ ingame it is proving to be more difficult then I thought, since we spend most our time wandering around looking for the quests...
Correction: The Golem quest is NOT to the northeast, but the northwest! We spent 3 hours searching the forest, to then find out it's two mins away from the portal...stick left, not right! :p
The third quest is indeed in the southwest, if you've reached a cave at the bottom, it's round the right corner of that. You have to backtrack from where you tp into, quasi follow the path round the corner and keep going down, but don't go to the merchant, it's the other side. Just incase anybody's wondering if they're still going in the right direction.

[Thorin Oakshield]

I hope SirQ will forgive me doing this ;) but some more detailed descriptions to do the quests seems in place, since Lady A and I have had a hard time finding some of them. And we even haven't completed this True Warrior Quest yet!

To make things a bit easier, I've used the map one of the German players had posted a long time ago. Here's the link: Sacred UW Map (http://www2.fht-esslingen.de/~hebeit00/karte_low.jpg)

First quest is the easiest one, since it's close to the start of the UW campaign. I don't think any more explanations are needed.
When the quest is completed, take the portal to Purgatory, as that's the starting point for the next one. If you don't have Purgatory yet, warp back to the island, take the tower-portal from there and then move to the west to enter Purg. The Portal is found in the south-west of the city.

Second Quest:

Exit Purgatory through the southern gate. Move south at the first intersection, turn west at the next intersection and cross the most southern wooden bridge.
In Fungi Hillock, you keep on the path heading west, until you reach the second intersection heading south. Take that path, follow it a bit to the south and then keep heading on to the west. The master is found near two shacks.

Second Quest, part 2:

The master wants you to find him some herbs.
Backtrack your steps until you get to the intersection again. From there, head to the west. The bushes are found at the southern side of the path you're following.
When you have them, backtrack again towards the master.
Quest completed.
!NOTE!: In several occasions I have heard the sound of the Wall of Flames a demon can cast at the large intersection leading to the master. I also have been hit by these walls occasionally.
To avoid running into that, make sure you keep at the southern edge of the path.

Third Quest:

Best thing to do is to return to Purgatory and take the portal from there back to the island. This is a nice opportunity to restock pots, since you're going to need them for the next stage of the quest.

Take the tower portal to the Embalded Forest.
After arival in the forest, head to the east; where the lake is; and then follow the path to the north-west until you reach an intersection.
Take the path to the left, which is leading you to the south-west.
At some point (map coordiantes H8/V29) you get a clearing in the woods. Follow this one to the south-east until you get to the second intersection. There you head to the east and finaly at the last intersection to the north.
The weapon of legends can be picked up after killing the three guards.

Best way to get out is to ask someone to give you a ride to a safe area, from where you can TP to the island again.

Fourth quest:

This one takes place in the Dryad Forest. Best way to get there is using the Purgatory portal again, accessed by using the Tower Portal leading to the east of Purg.

As soon as you have left the portal in the Forest, follow the path to the north-east and take the first path at you left, heading to the north west!

The Gollem is found at the end of this short path.

Also, make sure you have the Weapon of Legends added in one of your slots.

Looking at the dmg it's doing, lots of health potions are needed too. That Gollem is doing 5+K damage! :o
And last notice; that Gollem is having Three resistances.

1) Very strong Physical Resistance.
2) Low-medium Fire Resistance
3) Low-medium Poison Resistance.

Note: apparently the Weapon of Legends isn't the same all the time.
Today Lady Alynor and I were joined by Tipsterdad and he got a different weapon as I had before. This time the Weapon of Legends was a dagger with some extra poison dmg in it, but no slot.
We still managed to kill the Gollem.

Quest 5)
After killing the Gollem, talk to the master of combats which has appeared now. He tell you to get the last thing, the Book of Wisdom.
Head back to the portal which also brings you to the island but instead choose the Valley of Tears now.
As soon as you enter, 3 guards show up.
Kill them and then pick up the book.

After reading it, you have become a True Warrior!

Congratz. :)


Thorin

[SirQuester]

My bad... I can't believe I messed up the directions for that one, sorry for the confusion. Those directions will surely help eager Warriors on their quest. Good post Thorin, I don't mind at all. :)

That golem is very nasty and almost impossible to beat with pure magic characters since you have to melee with the legendary weapon. My poor Daemon almost died..:(

[Wrage]

I found that Hard Hit worked against the gollum, while he was still quite tough (I had every inv socket filled with health pots :)) None of my other CA seemed to work, but HH did, saved lots of time taking the gollums down. And if u leave the area (like to get more pots for instance) he starts out with full health again...so stock and make sure u have enough the first time!

I have done in bronze silver and gold, and it keeps getting harder and harder...maybe i'll skip the next 2...(of course thats assuming I will actually make it to plat!!)...yeah right LOL!!

Good help Thorin on the descriptions!

[Blackblood]

Excellent walkthrough there Guys & Gals

Whats the best level to attempt this in bronze

would any of you like to arrange a clan get togehter (seen as the mistress as done this one) and take some of us on this quest (Me,Me,Me,Me) in bronze

[Thorin Oakshield]

[off topic]

Blackblood,

Lady A and I have been thinking about that too yesterday.

We can either do this in a seperate get-together, or add it into the campaign-get-together.
Since I'm our Game Mistress' Personal Assistance (GMPA), among my other functions as BodyDwarf, Master Muler and Good Company, I'll work things out and post a new thread about it.
[/off topic]

I noticed that using the AttackCA works too, although the dmg isn't as high as using the HH.

The next time Lady A and I will try this, we'll be sure both of us have the weapon. Perhaps that works better to get him down fast.

Thorin

Me me me too.... i would do it with anyone ;) .... and as ya a great partner n on my time zone we can try n do it one evening ..... we can make the next Wednesday Fun Night.

If we can get a few together with the sameish level chars we can go out on an epic adventure :D

[Blackblood]

Sounds great for next wednesday Sanny i will be on arround 7p.m. GMt as always, so we can give it a whirl while Thorin sorts out the details to do it as Clan Gathering.

I will probally use my main tank WHOPPER the Glad he's at level 34

Print of Thorins walkthrough if u get a chance its the best i've seen.

[Thorin Oakshield]

From now on, Lady Alynor and I can be considered as being part of the few who had completed the True Warrior Quests (TWQ), although we didn't do them completely.

Lady A and I ran into some problems today, when discovering we weren't unable to start the first two quests to become a true warrior with our toons Floopsy and Durin VI.
We "asume" this is because we tried the quest two times in Gold now, which for some reason blocks further attempts.
Even resetting the server didn't help, nor did bringing another toon by Lady A help us.

Fortunately for us, Tipsterdad joined the Clan server and he was able to do all the talkings after he had left our party.
Using this bypass, we managed to kill the Gollem, and enter the final stage of the TWQ.
Also, because of this, Tipsterdad's Dolly Dagger is now one of the True Warriors.
Leaving Floopsy and Durin VI to be Warriors instead.

Since we are determined to get this quest done at least once, Lady A and I decided to start with new toons from scratch, while the other two toons will be used to get this quest done in Plat some time.


Since we were able to "complete" the quest, I've updated the walkthrough. All I have to do now is to find the last part, leading to the easter egg.

Thorin

[Wrage]

Easiest way to get to the end is to find someone who has the valley of tears gate. If I am ever online let me know and I will be glad to give it to u, then u tele right in and there they are...that is assuming I can get IN the game :)

Thats a great idea about using the weap of legends together...I am an idiot, i threw all mine away!! Oh well I will get a new one in plat...once again assuming I get to plat lol!!

Anyone want the easter eggs? I have 3 and have no use for them... :)

[Tipsterdad]

I know, that was pretty unfair for Lady A and Thorin the way the whole thing worked out. they did all the work learning where everything is, and here I come prancing in (practicing for the PvP), and talk to this one, talk to that one, and suddenly, I get the end result, and they get nothing:(.

Well, patience is a virtue for sure. I will be happy at any time to help them achive this goal of theirs, and step aside when the time is right to let them get their just rewards. Also, if you wish to try it in silver. I have a mage that is just beginning to kick butt pretty good. I would be more than happy to lead the way for you.

I want to thank you both for what you did for me today, that was very nice. I am sorry for you both it didn't turn out the way it should have, but it will.

[Thorin Oakshield]

Tipster,

Our primary goal was to get that darn quest completed. We did that, so at least I'm happy about it.
The fact you got the end-result was perhaps not what we hoped for, but it's compensated by the fact we were at least able to complete that quest without loosing it due to server crashes and sort.

So don't feel sorry for us, just because you got what we worked so hard for. Our turn will come eventually too. And at a higher level. :p

Thorin

[Lady Alynor]

In my function of Mistress of the Game I hereby absolve you of any guilty feelings you might harbour... :p
As Thorin pointed out, the most important thing is, that we finally comleted it and I'm glad it was you, Tipster, who "stole" our reward; if anyone deserves it, it is you. See it as our gift to you for becoming a Mod (not to mention Mayor of Braverock...), Thorin and I will give it another try in Plat with Durin and Floopsy and I will come back to the offer of helping us poor lowlife chars get through it in Silver! :D
We had a good time together and I can't wait to see what it shows you in the end! :confused:

[Tipsterdad]

Ah Mistress Alynor (ooooo...I like the sound of that). It was fun yesterday, and only those who have reached the end result will know what is in store. Trust me, it is worth the effort, you have put forth.

For those of you who haven't done it yet, if things go smoothly, it takes about an hour, so this is something that you can do without having to set a lot of time aside for it. Just be careful to follow everything the best you can.

It sure is nice to have a good guide(s). Mistress A and Thorin should open a little guide business together..."Warriors r Us".

[Lady Alynor]

Ok, so since we survived our great adventure, I thought I'd try and attach some screenies in case you want to see the conquering heroes... :p
The first one is us starting out, the second one shows Thorin and me at the Maters, after Tipster crashed... The third is a "spot the WE" search-game. ;)

[Veritass]

That first shot looks more like a fashion show of hats to me. :rolleyes:

[Lady Alynor]

lol, true! :D
We are a fashionable bunch though! A stumpy little Dwarf, pretty, lithe Woodelf and a charming and athletic Vamp... :p

[Thorin Oakshield]

"Stumpy"? :eek:
I've heard you call me better things than that. :(

Anyway, the reason for this post is that Lady Alynor made it as True Warrior today.

But to complete that task wasn't easy at all.
We managed to get the first parts done rather fast, despite some problems.
The problem began when we had to attack the Golem.

Neither the Lady nor I were able to even scratch the bugger. We tried all kinds of things, like unpartying, changing weapons, nothing worked.
To make things worse, Lady Alynor crashed again when picking up the Weapon of Legends, and thus lost it.
Since I wasn't able to scratch the bugger, I had to leave the place eventually too.
Getting a 7.5K hit isn't very good for your health, I noticed. Especially when they happen often. :o

After Lady Alynor joined the game again, we teamed up and again tried to kill the Gollem.
For some strange reason, Lady Alynor was now able to use her bow, while I still used one of the Weapons from previous attempts.
And just like all our other foes, the Gollem didn't manage to survive the rapid shots of Gatling girl. Not to mention I was able to hit the Golem this time and even doing some damage on him.
The last part of the quest was done quickly and our Game Mistress became another DA-True Warrior, leaving me as Warrior. *sniff's*.

Back at the island I remembered there was another portal, but just like SirQ and Elita before us, we weren't able to activate it.
Hopefully we will be able to do that next time, when it's my turn to become a True Warrior.

The celebrationparty that took place in the Braverock Tavern took several days this time. And to disapoint some members, this time the Lady kept her cloths on. ;)

Thorin

[Blackblood]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssss

cause ut sioundsz gioddxddx

[Dags]

Hey well done Lady A, a true warrior er amazon, big Gratz to you:% :%
and er BB I think you need some zzzzzz's:D

[SirQuester]

Way to go Lady A! Congratulations. :)

[FrostElfGuard]

Congrats to Lady A and commisseration for a less than pleasent experience (crash, crash, crash).

Maybe next time everything will work out beatifully. :)

[Lady Alynor]

*bows deeply* Why, thank you my friends! :D
Yes, it took a long, long, long time to complete, but we got there and that's the important thing... I won't remeber all the crashes in a few days, but the completion of the quest still stands. ;)

[Llama8]

Silly question, but where do I get the quest to find the weapon of legends? I've done the first two parts & I think I know where I need to go to get the weapon, I'm just not sure where to get the third quest from.

Edit: Never mind, I've found it.

Edit #2: Ok, my Magic Sera is completely stuffed! She can't hit the monster! What should I do?

[FrostElfGuard]

@llama8: SirQ posted:

4. Forest Monster (I think that's the name) - Head over to the Dryad Forest, northwest of the portal, to fight a big Golem but remember to have the Weapon of Legends equipped to damage the Golem.

WoL is a dagger (according to Lusty Lisa).

I'm not sure if you just need to hit it once with the dagger to "break" the invulnerablity...or if the WoL is the only thing that will hurt it.

I hope this helps. (hth)

[Wrage]

Yep frosty is right u need to load up on health pots then equip the dagger and go get em! Good luck! He takes a lot of hits! :)

[Lusty Lisa]

the weapon of legends isn't always a dagger, but mine was a simple dagger only doing physical dmg and no sockets. i hit the golem with my normal weapon 1st and did no dmg at all, after switching to the dagger i took him down without too much dificulty. it just never occured to me what would happen when switching back to my normal weapon after hitting him with the dagger once, so i just took him down with the dagger.

[Wrage]

The weapon isn't always a dagger? What else has it been? I did in bronze, silver, and gold and each time was dagger for me - although in gold it was a magical dagger (blue)...Wrage was going for the weapon of legends in plat when he met untimely and unfair death at the hands of the embalmed forest portal...so I never saw what it was in plat...

[Lusty Lisa]

i heared some people got a sword. i only did the quest once, in bronze, so i'm not 100% sure, but i tend to believe people when they say they got a sword :)

[Llama8]

It was a dagger for me last night.

My Cunning Plan (tm) is to socket a load of +attack/Poison/magic damage rings into the dagger, bump up my Strength of Faith & use a low level Hard Hit (so the regen's not too bad).

The first time I tried (which resulted in me posting here) my attack was ~500, with +attack rings & a lowish SoF, my attack was ~4.5k...

This time it's ~6k, with rings from Plat.

[Dags]

Thanks to Wrage and SirQ Dags got to see the end of the true warrior quest and read the book. I came into the game with only the last two parts of the quest to be completed. Thanks for the invite to take part Wrage and SirQ and your generosity in letting me get the book. I don't consider myself a true warrior untill I do the quest by myself, but damn it was great to get a peek into the book of wisdom, lmao:D .:% :%

[Wrage]

If it were a sword that would be awesome-or even better gauntlets lol!

Dags, that was all SQ, I was just following him around and killing off all the bad guys that he couldn't handle with that poison deam of his *cough *cough! :D But I am glad you are 1/2 a true warrior anyway lol!

[Suicide_Eagle]

I don't know if this is said earlier or not: The Forest monster doesn't need to be killed with melee dmg. I've done it with my sera (CL + RboL) and also with my we, in niob even:D (thorn bush + CotA). My we did had some probs at first (she could only hit it with the dagger and the tb wouldn't hit), but after a few things (i think i changed weaponslots some orso) then it did got him, even with WoL in another slot then wich i was using.

So conclusion:
Forest monster can be beaten by magic dmg !

P.S. i only had dagger too sofar, about 4 times.

[Llama8]

Yay, I solo'd the gollum in Plat (empty game). Only used ~20 pots. After Strength of Faith, my attack was ~8k, so I had a reasonable chance to hit, although I was only doing ~1-2k per hit.

I could damage him with anything other than the dagger unfortunately.

[Wrage]

I tried gollum again tonight and couldnt do any damage on him except the dagger. I used every CA I had (DS, Attack, FOG, Multi, Awe) nothing hurt him. I used the finished prototype sword (which has magic damage) didn't faze him...only dagger did damage - and very little at that! Too bad computer restarted or I would have had another true warriors quest completed...I am beginning to think I am cursed...

[Dags]

[Omi]

It was my Daemon Hell's Kid, she keeps trying to use the book and it won't open for her, lol. Tips was gracious enough to take her on the tour and help her with those nasty nuk nuks. It was fun but the dagger she had to use woulda made a better toothpick!

[SirQuester]

Well, I've completed it with a Glad, Steppe Lightly, that's now dead. My dwarf, Spirit Drunkeness, and disc daemon, Evile Winged One, have both completed it many times. My younger daemon, Ringed One, just completed it a couple days ago as well.

[Wrage]

I completed with Wrage (Rest his poor soul) in bronze, silver, and gold.

Wraging fists is having probs though, i start the quest then I get bumped, dropped, or CTD and cant restart the quests :( Happened in bronze and silver...but I do have the weapons to prove it :)

[Lady Alynor]

Floopsy could only complete in in Plat (did it in gold with Tipster, so couldn't do it again) and Fang has done it in gold.

[Lusty Lisa]

Fresh Juice, vampire, became a true warrior in bronze.

[JimmyP]

eeek,sorry lol havent done it yet with all my chars**shame on me**
Congrats to all of you,seems i need to try it out soon with my vamp in niob:)
congrats

[RPM]

I have did it in Silver with my Dwarf, i wished i had used my mage the final book is for him :(

[Brawli]

well i havent still made it never....maybe i should...anyway have no idea where is that quest etc....but i look other posts and try later :)

[Lady Alynor]

Done it in Bronze and Silver now too...only niob to go! :D

[ten76]

I have heard alot about this quest but never tried it before because I dont really know what to do, where to go and who to kill.

This thread gives me all the info I need so I think I'll give this quest a try. My Glad has 6% world discovered at lvl 140 so he definitley needs to get out more.

[Lady Alynor]

That crappy golum is somehow bugged. So far I've always managed to defeat him by leaving the forest and coming back in or even by leaving the game. Do make sure the others don't though, you can only do the quest once in each difficulty (bronze etc) and I've missed some of them by server resets or peeps just leaving even though I asked them to wait for a min till I'm back... :eek:
Anyway, just try leaving the forest, it should be ok, before that i couldn't damage him at all and after that it only took me about 10 pots to finish the job. :D

[ten76]

Ok thx for the info. I'll keep it in mind.

[ten76]

As soon as you enter, 3 guards show up.
Kill them and then pick up the book.

After reading it, you have become a True Warrior!


Well I tried the quest today in 16p plat but the end was not the same as described here. When I picked up the book 3 cartoon pics appeared one after another.

And the Book I'm supposed to read is a BM unique. So I cant read it. And I did not get any quest complete message either. Is this the way it is supposed to be??

[SirQuester]

After defeating the three enemies you get a message about the Master of Fighting saying you can keep the book - or some such. You "read" it by picking it up, which will show the drawings. Basically the quest is completed once you kill the 3 enemies at the portal and get a message upon doing so, at which time I believe the skill and attribute points are also given.

[ten76]

Ok Thx!! :)

Yay I'm a true Warrior ROFLMAOPIMPUTTAB

[ten76]

Well I completed the quest in Plat with my dual glad Obliterator X3.

[JimmyP]

WTG ten grats...while it was boored in niob 4players (niob normal is still down)
thought ill give it a try with my powerfull BM..

got the weap wich is min lvl 164 in niob version...my dam must be good to get him ....had to use alt f4 he did pritty nice dam,couldnt hurt him

first 2 quests were easy 3th was hard ,damn nuk nuk chiefs.
4th wasnt easy aswell ,dont like arrows:(
till i found him the mean bigg fat golem ...hope my BM is still alive.

still a bit shakey here:P

but it was fun to try in niob at lvl 140


whew hes still there,got the dagger as proof ...wondering if i can try it again at the lvl rec for the dagger to continue or have to start over again(no biggy)

[ten76]

It is good to hear your BM is ok :)

I guess the golem is a little easier if you have a melee char. I just activated HC and started pounding. It must have taken about five min to get him to fall. At first I thought he was bugged since his health bar decrease so little with each hit I did not notice it at first. But with my LL I did not evenhave to use that many pots. The only real trouble I had was in the embalmed forest when I ran into a large group of Nuk Nuks and Champion Skull rippers. I saw butterflies 3 times in the same fight.

[SirQuester]

Congratulations Ten! Another member becomes a True Warrior! :)

The forest golem is alot easier for melee characters since the Weapon of Legends must be used, though even then he's sometimes bugged. Sometimes you'll need to leave and come back, rejoin game and try him again, switch weapon slots or even ask someone to help you out. There's also the slim chance that the quest will be broken losing you the chance to being able to complete it - just ask Wrage. :(


wondering if i can try it again at the lvl rec for the dagger to continue or have to start over again(no biggy)

JimmyP, the quest is saved to your character in each level of difficulty so all you (should) need to do is go to the Embalmed Forest and get the forest golem to appear. Sometimes you might have to go back to the previous part of the quest (or beginnning even) to remind the game that "oh yeah, you did complete this part" to get it to set up the next.

Glad you're BM is still alive. :)

[Exsism]

ehm, that's a good question... i did do the quest ones with eags but didn't do it alone and tbh i cant remember where or with wich toon :o
i'd love to do it again but i have no idea where to go anymore :(
is it allowed to do it with 2 ppl and get on the list, or do you really have to do it alone :confused:

[kiddiccarus]

I need a map for this quest, I want to do it but have no clue where to go. Can someone pm me the link if there is a writeup on it or give me a lay out of what I need to do.

[FrostElfGuard]

Congrats to Omi for unlocking the secret Moo level! :)

[Lady Alynor]

Really? So if I couldn't complete the quest in a level because of server reset, I just have to go back to where I was chucked? A whole new range of possibilities has just opened up... :D

[SirQuester]

Well, I did put a "should" there. You know how buggy Sacred and this quest can be so who knows. :)

[Wrage]

Wraging fists completed the platinum TWQ also a while back, forgot to post it... :o BTW Whats the secret moo level?!?!

[Veritass]

I am endeavoring to become a true warrior myself, at least in the person of BlueFireball the Battle Mage. I completed parts 1-3 and obtained the Weapon of Legend, which is even now burning a hole in my backpack waiting to be used (I hope it doesn't mind if I throw in a fireball or two while I swing it).

I then had to leave the server due to real life time constraints, and I joined another server later. I had to take the long way to the Dryad Forest and find the portal since I didn't have it. I followed the instructions to go from the portal to the northeast and turn left at the first intersection and go northwest on a short path. I think I found the short path: it goes about ten yards northwest, then a jog five yards northeast, then about 20 yards northwest again, and has a chest at the end.

But...no golem. Just a couple of normal sword and bow guys. I verified that I am wielding the Weapon of Legend. I tried going to a fresh server...no golem. I tried going back to see if the Guardians of the Legend were there, thinking I might need to get it again, but no Guardians.

Please find me worthy of your counsel and advise me, oh great True Warriors. Must I complete this quest in a single sitting? It may be possible now that I have all the portals. Where should I resume this great quest? I humbly grovel at your feet awaiting your guidance.

[SirQuester]

The only counsel I can give is to go through the quest from the beginning. Maybe it will remind the game, but don't be surprised if the quest is broken. :( For your sake, I hope that's not the case. Good luck.

[Wrage]

Veritass this happens to me a lot. It seems if you get the weapon of legends it is too late, you cannot restart the quest - but another can start the quest for you then leave the party and you can continue it as long as they haven't completed it. I have been able to restart the quest at every point up to the point of getting the weapon. But ask someone to start it for ya and you should be all set.

i get dropped all the time :( that why i lose it. Good luck!

[Veritass]

Should I get someone to restart it back at step 1, 2, or 3?

I have seven other characters all at about this level, and I only need one of the Easter Egg, so I think I will try one of those first. It seems that I need to do my homework first and make sure I have all the portals. I wasted too much time with my Battle Mage trying to find the master and trying to get the portals. I will go first and get all the portals before I even start the quest.

Note: for the Embalmed Forest, I found it more useful for the original description that it is in the very southwest corner. The expanded notes from Thorin got me completely confused. However, for the Dryad forest, the expanded notes were very helpful.

Thanks for any pointers you can provide.

[kiddiccarus]

I cant find the stupid guards in step 3 HELP!!!!! Screenie????

[Wrage]

What I have found is they need to restart right at step 1...and yes the portals are essential! If I am ever online I'd be happy to give them to you. You can get by with out the dwarven ruins (do 1st quest then port back to isle and use the tower to purgatori) just run west and north to get to purg from the tower drop, then you will want embalmed, dryad, and the last portal in advance.

And yes in the embalmed I found it easier to just go to the southwest corner as well althought there is that 1 tricky part almost easier to go South then west...

Good luck again!

Hey Kidd don't have s screenie on me, but you have so South then there is a little grove you have to kind of go up and around to the west. You will pass a cave on your left as you head down then they are right there - and once you kill them u get the weap of legends. SW corner of the embalmed forest. Hope it helps!

[kiddiccarus]

I cant restart the quests? the master and the squire tell me I have already helped them but still have ? above them. This is in Silver Does that mean per server level you can on pick up where you left off?

Here's some pictures of the locations as shown on the Map. :)

Woot - Thes Will Help a pic is worth One billion Words!!!! Muahahahahahaha

To answer my own question, if you leave the server after doing part of this mission you can resume later at the same point. I did mission 1 and 2 then got out of the server (I went to sleep because I could not find the third) When I came back in I went to the first quest once again thinking that I had to do all of this all over. Well I found out that you can resume where you left off.


I also found that my glad no matter what he did would not do any damage to the golem at all. I needed to seek other thelp in killing him, so if you have the dagger equiped and can not do any damage call on a friend and ask for help in killing the Golem. :)

I could not kill the golem for anything but Sir Q came to my aid and Helped me rid the world of rht golem. with the many CTD's I thought Id never finish.

Thank you Mad Hatter and Sir Quester for your support in the quest.

[Veritass]

Well, BlueFireball is hosed and will not be able to finish this quest. I had dumped the Weapon of Legend to keep it from corrupting the quest. I then went and checked in at steps 1, 2, and 3, and they all told me they have been done already and cannot be done. Oh, I can see that Weapon of Legend at step 3 but I cannot get to it.

I went to the Dryad Forest, and there is the Golem, who sees me as fresh meat, reminding me of the Butcher from Diablo I. Anyway, without the Weapon of Legend, I cannot scratch him. I can slow him down with Ice Spirals, and Fireball him all day long, and not a scratch. I even called in a Dark Elf 20 levels above me, and he couldn't scratch him either.

I will let you know when I set up another character to go and finish this.

[SirQuester]

It's still possibly doable Veritass, though I'm not sure where you left off. All you need is to party up with someone and have them try attacking the golem, sometimes this will allow you to be able to damage it but you have to have the Weapon of Legends equipped.

If you would like some help just let me or another member know and we'll be happy to help. :)

[Veritass]

I gave up on BlueFireball trying to complete the quest, and went instead to my vamp, BlueSteel. First I went and collected all the portals with some help from some other players. Then I went to a fresh server to execute the quest.

I knew I had already done step 1, so I went straight to step 2, but there was no master there. I went back and executed step 1, and had him tell me that he had already helped me, and went back to find the master at step 2.

I got all the way through and had just killed the golem. By the way, the vamp is a great choice for this, since they really want you to wield the Weapon of Legend and kill the golem melee-style. My vamp at night with bloodlust and a few hard hits took down the golem in about 30 seconds. I didn't even have to touch the 50 health potions I had brought for backup, since the vamp typically has such high life leech.

Anyway, right after I killed the golem and was heading back to the portal, I got a crash to desktop. Real life intruded and I had to leave, all the while hoping that when I came back, I would actually be able to complete it. Fortunately for me, MadderHatter had come onto that server and was still on it when I came back, so the server had not reset. I logged on, went to the Valley of Tears, and finished step 5.

I am now a True Warrior!! *cool* Well, at least in silver with one character. :o

I must say, "reading" the book was somewhat interesting. I had seen the contents of the book posted elsewhere, but did not know that is what I was looking at. ;) Quite the interesting Easter Egg. Anyway, thanks to everyone that helped me along the way.

[SirQuester]

Congratulations Veritass! Your now added to the TW list. :)

[velrose]

I did everything from start in bronze but no golem.
Got stuck somehwere after flying and now restarted.
I think i finally found where he is suppsed to be. at the end of the path where there is a chest. But still no matter how mnay times i go there, he isnt there.

[Madder Hatter]

I've completed the TWQ in bronze and silver with my pure melee sera. She was kind enough to give the book to my bm who was unable to complete the the quest due to his utter lack of combat skills, not sure how many teeth the golem knocked out of his mouth, he was quite a sight, lol.

Did you remember to talk to the master and pick up the weapon in the forest?

[velrose]

yes I finally saw the errors of my ways and I posted my findings in a new thread. Its kind of bugged towards my daemon. Must be a script thing.

The best way to kill it is to exit with someone left in the game and then return making the golem killable by magic.

[ten76]

Well my new true warrior is ny vamo Bloodreaper who did the twq in niob.

Here is the niob book for those that have not seen it.

[ten76]

My mighty vamp Bloodraven finished the quest in bronze today:) As it turned out twq in Bronze is way tougher than in the higher diff. It took my vamp 5 min to down that blasted golem. It was one hell of a fight but in the end Bloodraven emerged victorious. Well I admit I had help this time. During the final fight in VOT Dobster showed up:)

[ten76]

Thx:)

trading only 1? :D rest seems ok keep it up ten :) Grats again

Well as usuall I picked trade at 50 since the rest of the choices were pretty useless. And as usuall my plan is to add points to trade. And as usuall I will probably end up putting points in combat related skills.

..if u on laters can she wobble round with my silly dwarf coz i cant remeber how to do it :p

Sure thing.. err wait a sec. Hmmm didnt I die the last time we tried that?? Oh well who cares?? Tremble Golem your DOOOM is near... again.

Ok just for you Underdog, all those that have completed the TQ and any that may want to do the quest again this thread is open again.

[FrostElfGuard]

Night Wolfe has moved her excellent site to Gamespy for free hosting... from a site that doesn't go down!

Here is a link to her True Warrior Quest (http://wolfes-lair.rpgplanet.gamespy.com/Quests/TrueWarriorSeries.html)write up that has tons of pix and great descriptions.

[NightWolfe]

Granted this was a really long thread and I didn't read everything all the way through but I didn't see any mention of the skill/attribute points you get from killing the Guardians in the Book of Wisdom. Just so you all know you have a chance to get either 2, 4 or 6 points depending on whether you kill the guardians simultaneously or not. I am making list with the tutorial on my website of the players that have accomplished the 6 points along with what character they used, what level their character was and what attacks they used to kill them simultanously. If anyone here has gotten the 6 point or does in the future and wants to be added to the list please PM or e-mail me :o

[Catscradle]

With a big thanks to Lord of Doom, I got to find out for myself what this quest can be like. Since LoD was playing a char higher lvl than me, I teleported to him(?) when there was need to talk to activate more of this quest, but I was the one fighting the monster bosses.

BTW, if anyone has a mage close to lvl 110, let me know and I will give you the book from the quest. My highest mage is 89 and I don't see him getting to plat anytime soon (fireball only mage and lost interest in him for the moment).

[DrAgon-cze]

If there is da thread to thank for great company in the True Warrior series, i must surely help my friend D with his awesome glad - he saved my sorry butt before that nasty Giant. I only helped him with buffing up his glad and slowing down the Giant. Many thanks for that. And of course thank to DC who opened that quest for us - we tried many times, but in the end we got there and picked the trophy.:) True warrior series is FUN and i´m looking forward to do that series with D again in plat and niob...... Only thing we are afraid of, is the terrible horror - LAG MONSTER due to this unfairous and wicked monster we died..... Many times. Cya in-game.
