Bowerstone South
----------------
Now is probably a good time to return to Bowerstone and give that teacher a few
more books. Teleport there. When you get near the school you find Thunder
impressing the children. Have a rather cold conversation with the man, then
turn your attention to the teacher. Give him all the books he will take
(probably only two or three at this point). When you're done with that, head
over to Bowerstone Quay and talk with the witch. She'll give you a potion for
the boy. Nothing left to do now except take it over to the worried mother and
collect your reward. With that done, teleport back to Oakvale.
Oakvale
-------
I'm presuming you've bought your old house by now. Head to the general shop (in
the town proper) and grab a wedding ring and a couple of gifts of your choice.
You should be in good shape to find a wife about now. Your renown should be
getting high enough, and make sure you are wearing clothes and styles that add
to your attractiveness and lower your scariness.
Find a likely candidate and use your expressions on them (flirt, manly arm
pump, sexy hero pose, and so on) to get a heart to grow above her (or his)
head. Give the person a gift. If they are available and willing, they should
ask for a wedding ring after not too long (not everyone will ask, some people
are already married). Once the candidate asks for the ring, just use it, and
just like that, you are married. Congratulations!
Now, if you want to have sex with your wife, a bit more work is needed. It is
even more important to make sure you are in your best clothing. Flirt and give
many gifts to your partner. Eventually, her aura will turn from blue to green,
which is the cue to interact with her. After a brief cut-scene (no you don't
get to see anything), you will have had your first encounter. This is good, as
there's a certain demon door that has a particular requirement about sex, so we
are going to want to get our sex count up anyway. May as well be doing it with
the wife, eh?
Anyway, back to the task at hand. We were looking for the Seeress. Head for the
Clifftop Path (the entrance is a cave opening near the dock).
Clifftop Path
-------------
Now, if the bandits see you, they'll shut the gate. If that happens, kill the
three of them and wait for the gate to reopen (it doesn't take long). Three
more bandits will appear, and this whole process repeats. You'll most likely
have to kill a wave or two of bandits before you get near the gate, where you
will find a couple of barrels in which you will pick up a Health Potion and a
Harion shoulder tattoo card. Once you've secured these, retreat back to the
rock a little ways back and use it as cover to hide from the next patrol. If
you time it right, none of the three will see you and you'll have a free run at
the open gate.
Abandoned Road
--------------
Once you are past the gate, there's another short cut-scene, where you learn a
bit of interesting information. Seems like you may need a bit of clothing.
Anyway, start making your way up the path. You'll come across several chests
that contain the very clothing you will need (Boots, Shirt, Trousers, Bandana,
and Gloves). Convenient! The last chest (near the demon door) has a
Resurrection Phial in it. Also, be sure to check the barrels (the first set
contain a Will and Health potion, and the second set contain a Health potion,
an Ages of Skill potion, and 250 gold. The final barrel just has some tofu in
it).
You can't get through the demon door yet, so just make sure you have on the
bandit outfit and head into Twinblade's camp.
Twinblade's Camp
-----------
Talk to the gate guard, who will let you into the compound. When you are
inside, the first order of business is to find the three merchants. One of them
has a good supply of crunchy chicks, so make sure you own at least 10 of them,
we'll need them for one of the demon doors we skipped earlier. There are some
barrels up near the traders, though they don't contain anything.
On the other side of the small pond are another couple of barrels (Health and
Ages of Will Potions) as well as a chest with 500 gold. Also, in the dirt patch
in front of the chest is a digging spot that will get you another silver key.
Another couple of barrels in the tavern area have a Red Meat and a Health
Potion. Once you are sure you have dealt with all the loot lying around, it's
time to deal with the green dots. There is one standing by the back gate that
is of interest. He tells you that you need a pass to get through this gate.
There's a couple of ways to get this pass. One is to buy it off one of the
bandits for 1,000 gold (he's one of the green dots on the mini-map). However,
don't bother. You are going to win it off the gamesmaster.
The gamesmaster is in the tavern area. Talk to him and win his game, it's not
all that difficult to pull off. Slightly trickier, though, is that you can win
another hero doll here (Twinblade) if you can beat the game in under 20
seconds. If you are having a lot of trouble, just cast Slow Time before talking
to the gamesmaster, and you will have a very easy time of it winning the doll.
Twinblade's Elite Camp
----------------------
Look around for a bit. There's a few barrels to open up (in total, you will get
an Ages of Might potion, a carrot, 3 green apples, tofu, 100 gold, and a Health
potion). The bandits will grumble a bit when you break the barrels, but don't
otherwise seems to mind. Be careful of the exploding barrel. In addition, there
are two treasure chests, in which you will pick up a Resurrection Phial and a
pair of Assassin's Trousers. Leaning against one of the tents (west of the
group of assassins) is a steel greatmace.
That takes care of the items you can pick up, now we come to the quest. First
off, if you follow the gold icon, you will come to a gate, where another guard
blocks your way. There are a couple of possible ways to get by this guard. But
we'll come to that in a minute. First off take a look to the north of the
blocked gate. Notice anything familiar up here? That's right, it's a new fight
circle!
Wait until around midnight for the fight club to show up, then go through the
usual motions to beat the tar out of everyone and win the level 3 certificate.
Now, as to that gate. You have two options for getting through. One way is to
talk to the group of assassins and pay their 2,000 gold fee to create a
distraction. Easy, if a bit expensive.
The second way is a little more involved and a little more dangerous. On the
southwest side of the camp you will find two prisoners being guarded by a
particularly nasty looking guard. Kill this guard (but try to make sure no one
else sees you do this, you don't want the entire camp coming after you at
once). An easy way to take him out is to stand up near the hostages, wait for
the guard to get near, cast slow time, then hit him with a bit of lightning.
Finish him off with the sword or bow as needed. Once he's down, you'll get the
key to the cages. Let the hostages go, which provides another distraction to
get you through the gate, free of charge.
Twinblade's Tent
----------------
You're in for a little bit of a fight now, although, with your super awesome
cutlass Bluetane, it's really not all that difficult. Twinblade is difficult to
damage except with flourishes. However, there is a short time, after he sticks
his weapons into the ground, when you can freely hit him in the back. Anyway,
it doesn't really take all that much to finish him off. Use your healing
potions and resurrection phials as needed.
There's a cut-scene, which I won't describe in the interest of not putting in
too many spoilers, after which, you have a choice to make. You can show mercy
to Twinblade and let him live, or you can kill him. Note that the latter option
will result in a massive fight as the entire group of bandit gawkers attack you
at once. Good luck with that.
In any case, make sure to grab all your hard earned loot. In the tent you will
find 2 health potions and 2 red meat in the barrels, as well as three treasure
chests (a Resurrection Phial and 750 gold). Also, check the path that runs
north of the fight area to find another chest with a diamond in it.
Leave the camp to finish the quest and collect your reward (including a new
trophy, the Bandit Seal). The guildmaster will chatter at you like a magpie for
a while, after which you ought to save the world state (no need to go through
all that again!). The end result of all this chatter is that you get a new
quest card.
