Just letting people know, my challenge mod will be updated to CM patch 1.6 next week. Cheers

Glacial Thorns is such a good boss killer. It seems The Ice King is out matched, even by his own element.

I've found out what it seems to be an easter egg in the game that's apparently unaccounted for, and since Easter is coming I might as well put it out in the open. There's a soldier in Khorum near the monolith and portal that will give you a quest called "soldiers from the past", where he sends you to a priest to recite some words and get help from some "special troops" since the Humans are being annihilated by three different forces. I've found that speech a bit familiar to be honest, but I didn't care that much. But when I got to the priest and got the second part of the dialogue he basically told me that I had to get to an old fortress and recite an incantation to summon a sheik that had been cursed, cursed for being summoned into battle in aid of others and having failed to show up, so he and his troops were cursed. Now if this isn't a direct reference to LOTR's The Return of the King and the undead army that Aragorn retrieves to defend Gondor then I don't know what is! You even get to summon an undead king (sheik) so to speak, so this pretty much feels like another piece of mainstream which was purposely placed in the game. What do you guys think about this?

Eh, I just noticed that my Steam client accounts for 700 hours played on Sacred 2. Considering that I bought it on Steam on October 2015 and that I had less than 400 hours before the development for CM Patch 1.60 began you can tell just how much I've played in the past six months! I dread to imagine the number Steam would display had the game been stable the two years before, ha ha. And like I said a few times before I actually bought this game twice, so I have a few hundred more with FA. All of these are just for single player, which makes it even more relevant in my book. And yeah, I still get excited about this game! Damn, even my girlfriend has grown fond of it because she can tell how much fun I have with it. And I'm glad there are still old school games like this in an era where every game is old the moment it's released and vlogged. It's actually reassuring to know that I can play a game this much and still enjoy it after almost a decade.

This is such a lovely write up, Hooyaah... grand applause sir! You know..I remember we used to add links into the wiki bottom pages... im in the train on way to parents right now, but ill find it today..it was a link that indicated something like" for more info" ..and it would link to DarkMatters where there would be a post or build etc that would add value to the page in the Wiki. AS the wiki's almost mostly all fact based, its sometimes difficult to put in info that adds great player value experience without it being being something absolutely measureable. I think your recent series of travels, adventures, gourmetery and monster chronicles would serve well as targets of links in wiki pages that could bring readers to your work here. gogo

Made another image dump on imgur which has around 20+ images I found on mobygames https://imgur.com/gallery/JzAoq Here's an image of a demoness artstyle

Im thinking this could be an Easter Egg perhaps because of the game being rife with other easter eggs from lord of the rings? With this kind of context I agree with Hooyah that the actions do match. As well, just mentionned this to Schot, he was a good Easter Egg hunter in days of old and he agrees that we have a decent sounding probability. Androdion, how aboutyou put a a mention in the lord of the rings easter eggs page already in the Wiki ? you guys good with this? http://www.sacredwiki.org/index.php/Sacred_2:Lord_of_the_Rings gogo

The Quest "Soldiers From The Past" does sound like a direct parallel. However, there has been no page on the Wiki constructed for it.

Small update just to say that I've finally levelled every instance of my Dragon Mage. So now I have a lv.2 silver, a lv.35 gold, a lv.70 platinum and a lv.100 niobium bargainers ready to go on shopping sprees if needed be. Along the way I've stashed my shared chest with more than enough +all skills jewellery to be able to use them at will, nothing too specific or fancy but enough to be helpful. I will say, using bargainers to get jewellery with modifiers like opponent's chance to evade, chance that opponents cannot evade attacks, opponent's level for deathblow, and of course +all skills, really makes any toon much more proficient. I guess that you can't really reach that kind of proficiency without a bargainer so having this "ladder" really adds a lot to the pleasure of playing the game. Now to level up my niobium smith to a level high enough as to beat the niobium NPC's blacksmith arts.
