Retrieve amulet -
Return to Odan Kandimiro
I'm having trouble with step 4 of retrieving amulet. The wiki's notes say "Make sure that you're headed for a cave on the west side of Ruka, not in the center of town." but even when doing that amulet is nowhere to be seen.If I had to guess, I went into the cave before getting the quest and opened one of these treasure chests that were supposed to give me the amulet? Really confused here. Thanks in advance for any help!

It's keeping me busy for now. Was thinking about making some gameplay/commentary video to put up over in the Last Epoch topic in the new and general gaming section.
It had quite some interesting features. Your campaign makers you time-travel, but from a certain point you get the ability to do do at will. And ofcourse there's gambling, crafting, and a respec system.
Gameplay wise it has some tedious bits for me - unnecessarily large area maps for instance. The problem is that after portalling to a safe zone alle enemies reset so the sheer size of some zones turns into an annoyance. And the game can be really unforgiving/brutal at times. I'm about level 50 right now, almost done with the campaign. Some monsters seem really imbalanced, being able to pretty much one-shot me even though my resistances hover at around 50% and generally not-terrible stars AFAIK. On my last session this week I died 4 times in a row, and decided to change my "Idols" ie charms (D2) all to cold resist just to be able to get through the level. Madness. Lol
oof, sounds tough. I like a challenge though, I'll check it out sometime

Brilliant intro Lvcas! (lol that v almost caught me
) Thanks for posting such a huge, delicious and heartening read. It's always meeting up with the community that's always been my favorite moments...from ingame HC to the Sacred International Forum and now here at these forums. Can't believe how long you have been here reading...but I always get delighted to see readers come forth, register and make that first post. I remember spending what seemed like agonizing hours crafting my first post ever on the officiel Sacred Forums...it was a food post...naturally but from there I slowly branched out into the game...but I remember for months how long I was just absolutely hooked into reading and reading and reading peoples' posts... it was a real first time for me, and I've always been a passionate reader... seeing something that actually had all these live "people" writing to each other and then finally getting to meet up with them on servers was the delight of my life then.
I'm happy so see you here on these boards, and meeting up with the community... we have been waiting friend
Welcome to DarkMatters!

I know you for sure, countless hours spent reading your posts. thanks for the warm welcome!

Haha you sound just like me! Welcome aboard Lucas!
I lost myself in S1 as well during my teens, I sunk hundreds of hours into that game. And that's where I found this lovely bunch of people (and numerous others) both ingame, but also on the forums: DarkMatters ofcourse but mainly the SIF (Sacred International Forum - RIP). I was probably late to the game compared to guys like Gogo and Schot here, but the games had a wonderful online community which was an awesome experience as I generally stick to SP games. Never found a better/similar community though, which is a shame considering Ascaron's bankruptcy and lack of similar new games in the franchise.
Funnily enough I never really got into Fallen Angel as much as the original, I'm planning to pick it up again after I've finished the main quest in Last Epoch, a game that's currently in beta. So right now there's not really much I can help you with, but maybe someone else can. Have you tried giving the wiki a shot? I'm not sure if portal-info can be found there but it's worth a look.
It's been resolved but I thank you nonetheless for the welcome. Last Epoch looks interesting, but is it promising?

Welcome
The very same reason that I play just the main story line till highest difficulty before I start sidequests. Then quest experience is a main factor because monsters give less and less experience.
Tried the interactive map? I think the portal to go there is farer away than you think...

Damn, didn't know this existed. Very helpful, thanks a lot!

My name is Lucas but I type it with a v to look edgy/Roman. I love fantasy in all its forms, if you couldn't tell by my online last name, but LotR is a big part in my life as well. Books, TV shows, movies, video games, you name it, I enjoy it. My history with the Sacred franchise is one that has probably already been experienced so I'll try to keep it short: played the first game as a kid leaving childhood (age 12), played the second as a teenager (age 16). So it has been with me and helped me pass the time through my development years.
Although I'm just now joining the forum, I'd come here and read posts all the time when I was playing (2008-2010), but I didn't have a motive to post. I do now because, and I'm pasting the reason I gave when I was registering "I found a mini portal near bluestonbury that I apparently accessed once but cant anymore and I want to know how to get there again".I'll explain: quarantine got me so fraked up I started my first Sacred 2 campaign in 10 years. I said to myself to not touch it again because I get carried away and end up spending 52 hours surveying the map and doing sidequests, and not proceed much with the main storyline... which is what happened. For example I replayed and finished the first Sacred a few years ago and I have just under 80 hours for it on Steam. As for Sacred 2, I'm currently in Act II after 52 hours of gameplay. Slow player, I know. I have a love/hate relationship with non-linear games like these for a reason. I love exploring all of the regions but I hate looking at the time and realised I spent 6 hours doing it.
Now that we're all caught up, during my scouting I found Bluestonbury, in north eastern Tyr Lisia, just north western of the Bluestone Lake. I went to the docks and it portaled me a little bit east. Upon inspection I realise there's another portal even more east of that last one, but is not reachable by land (or at least I couldn't find a way):I have a faint memory that near Thylysium I found some portals, one of them landing me there, and as I saw how far away I was from before, I portaled back and forgot about it. "Meh, I'll go back later." But now I don't know how. I don't think I even remember going there in my first few playthroughs.
Now that I think of it, I don't know if I should've made the post about what I just wrote under "General Discussion (PC)" or "Guides, Maps, Walkthroughs and Videos". But it tied into my introduction!
Anyway, care to help a veteran gamer but newbie forum member? Thanks in advance!-

[RESOLVED] "Grotto of Death" bug or am I just too low IQ to play this game?
in Sacred 2 Quests
Posted
Yeah, I've been at it this past weekend... enough to completely ignore the forum and your comment.
Since the post, I killed the Octagolamus, a couple of dragons, a demon and talked to the other dragon that sent me to the swamps. I activated the portal and went back to visit the rest of the Seraphim and Dragon Islands since I had left some parts unexplored. Busy couple of days.
While I have you here, I have some more questions before continuing (I've binged this game and in 3 weeks since May 10th, I've clocked in 3 days and 16 hours of gameplay, or 88 hours in 21 days, so I'm taking a little break):
1. I'm at level 30, how safe is it to visit the Crystal Plane and the Blood Forest? I don't see those being a part of the main quest, but should I wait to reach a certain level before heading there? I've already been to and completed the Northland, if that's anything.
2. A quest bugged for me, "Heavy Burden". I killed all the spiders, came back to Skook's Corner, talked to Tallin, completed the quest (or so I thought), but the grey circle persisted. Now, when clicking on it while on the map, I get a waypoint that sends me to the middle of the Dragon Sea, just south of the Seraphim Arena, and doesn't appear as completed in the journal (picture showing waypoints in map and incomplete quest in journal). Thank God it's not an essential quest, but any ways to get rid of the grey circle in the middle of Artamark? It doesn't bother me... that much.
3. Is there an official DarkMatters Discord to ask these kind of meaningless questions? Because if there is I can't find it. Don't get me wrong I like it here and I will contribute more as soon as Sacred 2 stops being the center of my attention, but I don't know I feel kind of dumb making a post about a question that could be cleared up quickly in a groupchat. If there isn't it's alright but I have to ask.
That'd be all for now, and thanks for the kind words!
