OK. I've been playing this game in my spare time for about two weeks now (I'm almost level 20, and have 123 shields, etc), and a couple questions have arisen which I would love kindly assistance on:

1. How exactly am I supposed to get the Pathfinding and Awareness abilities. The more detailed the spoilers are the better. I'm growing weary of trying to get them.

2. In the skull cave (the order of the crystal cave), there are two chests that seem to be locked. Where is the key? I can't figure it out. (Again, the more detailed the spoiler, the better. I'm rather weary of this one too.)

3. What are those creatures that run around that are like tall grey people, and wear tattered shorts. (Like in the swamp where you save the general). I've always assumed they are undead, but that never sat with me well. I've ignored the question so far, but while I'm here I might as well ask it.

Well, that is it for now. I'm sure I'll have others later. Thanks to all that reply.

Also a side note: Someone (who has too much time on their hands) should compile an index of these spoilers. There is enough activity where it is easy to overlook answers to questions that have already been asked.

Take care.

Note: Since I created the thread, I did find the lightbreeze scroll. And from what I've heard, I'm supposed to deliver it to Mary Kristina. I'm in the process of tracking her down, but I'm not sure who she is and where to find her. (I also have mentioned that I'm in this state in the dark fairy thread, so an answer in either place is fine.)

Thanx in advanced to all those who spare the time to help.

She's in the northeast of Fantrima.

Early in the game I found her and she asked me to take a message to her husband in Gyden Camp. When I did that I talked to her again and she gave a quest and in return gave me pathfinding. Later I go awareness from her.

------------------

Thanks. I found her. I somehow missed her ever since her husband came back. I found him comfortably at homemany times, but I never went south-east from there.

On another note, I still am curious about the other questions I have asked.

1. You should have both; Pathfinding and Awareness. You get both from Mary Kristina. Did you get the mission to get Mary Kristina's Harp? If you haven't found her harp, you probably can't give her the Lightbreeze scroll, which contains the information for Awareness. Are you still missing the abilities?

2. No keys are necessary in the Order of the Crystal cavern. Any chest you can access can be opened. Where, exactly, are they from the Skull entrance?

3. Those gray guys are Stone Giants(?). They're pretty rare. The only other place i've found them is in the Wyrm Valley Cavern.

ArcAngelCounterstrike could make a walkthrough... if we ask nicely.

"But, we don't even treat people right."

1. I'm all good there. She was in the one populated place I didn't look.

2. (And most important to me) I made a web page (which I reserve the right to delete in the future), which shows where they are in detail. There is about 550k of jpgs, so be patient on loading.

3. I think you are talking about stone gollums? I'm talking about those things that hang around the undead samp(?) all the time (hence why I think they are undead). They are also in crypts a lot. I just was hoping for a verification to see if that is why I was having so much problems fighting them compared to other creatures that give the same XP.

Thank you kindly.

I thought you were still in the Crystal Cave. All those pasty white guys in Ghost Swamp(?) are Zombies(?). I've confused Trolls with the undead myself. They hang out in the north of Ghost Swamp(?).

I checked the pictures. You opened them already. Those chests face the north, so you can't quite see a difference with their lids open.

"But, we don't even treat people right."

Ah. Ok. I guess. I don't recall seeing that I got anything from them. But as long as I'm notmissing anything important out of them, then I'm not too picky.

Thanks again!
