Bummer about the failed missions.. But what bout the Arena in the Sky chain quest? Did you look there yet and did you find the teleport button?
Erm... I had to start it all over again. :/ I'm still in the very beggining.
Ack! At least, we're both now on the same version so you should be able to find the button when you get there! Good Luck and have fun!

If Schot is doing the graves I'll do the soccer balls and statues (unless he wants help with graves too)
Er.. Speaking of gravestones... Was that Ascaron's developers getting a bit premature with you? There seems to be a gravestone in the cemetary north of Twainbrook with the inscription:
I've also got a the rest of the ones from that cemetary - they just need a little clean-up to get rid of the background...
Btw.. How many graves does Carolyn Hacker have in Sacred 2? Now there's a trivia question.

Hehe, sending out codes is so much fun
Eh.. It's a nice break from blasting endless mobs of kobolds into oblivion...

Awww...Pshaw..! Twas nothing.. But you're welcome never the less..
Good thing you've got fast internet. If you were on dial-up, you might find yourself downloading the big cumulative patch for a month...
Once you're done downloading and installing the patches - check your game and let us know if it cleared up any problems...
Let's see... The quest log is different (yay!) and I failed at 3 missions already. Things are normal. x)
Thank you again!

lol wolfie
I knew you didn't mean all of them
Are we still looking to simply list all quests available? When I was doing the Bestiary I had my Shadow Warrior do ALL the quests he could find in all areas (was looking for quest only enemies). I don't have the pics but I should have all the log entries still. Guess I need to look at quest wiki and see what's needed there
Well.. I can't answer that. Gogo would probably be better able to answer that.
Me - when I decided to flesh out the last 4 or so blue quests for the light side HE, I not only added the quest names to the main quest page but I figured I might as well get them written up. Of course, I had already gotten them all done - so taking pictures was not really going to be happenng. I did screen shots of the logs and a pic on the map as to where to find the quest giver. I'm not so sure pics of the various parties involved in the quest are all THAT important as long as you write up clear, straight from the hip, to the point write-ups.
Same goes for when I started in on some of the Orc area chain quests... screen shots of the logs, a pic of the map location and a straight up write up of what's supposed to be happening.
I also keep the screenshot open in a graphics editor while I'm writing so I got the names and places spelled right as well as having the reference there for the play by play in the log.

Awkay... 1h to finish the download. D:
Thank you both.
I love you

at first. I wanted to resist. I regarded those codes as a kind of cheat codes - unnecessary help. but I'm being fed up with finding always the same weapons. so, guys, could you please provide me with the new weaponry?
many thanks
You've got spam... Enjoy...

kk...definitely plain old fallen angel. The teleport button may have been something that they implemented in a patch...you should consider patching to 2.43. Theres a fair amount of extra content and bug fixes.
Aye, Captan!
Thank you SO much for your help!
Welp.. Don't thank him yet... There are a couple of patches to grab and some of them are HUGE!
First visit here and get yourself up to 2.40.
The cumulative patch getting you to 2.40 can be as big as a 1 GB. It can take some time to download.
Then you'll need the 2.40 to 2.43 patch which can be gotten here.
At least, this one isn't too huge. It's only 48.5 MB.
Be sure to get the one that matches the local version of the game you've got installed.

Doing all the side quests is a bit more than I can handle right now. Was hoping to start with something smaller. I do know every nook and cranny in Sacred 2...so I might go huntin' soccer balls (would have been a great idea for a scavenger hunt during the World Cup)
Egad... I wasn't suggesting you do ALL of the missing quests...Sheesh.. That's a bit overwhelming for anyone..!
Good grief! I was just pointing out the areas that are sorely lacking and in need of attention. 
By all means - if you feel the urge to do the soccer ball thing - that's cool... I'm sure Gogo will be quite happy to have 'em for the Easter egg page.
-
I'm finally starting to feel halfway decent...chemo is done...and my strength/stamina is coming back slowly...and now I find I have the energy to do something but not sure what to do
Just wondering what section of the wiki is in need of the most help...I was thinking of doing the quest guides for the character specific quests but if anyone has another suggestion...well that's why I'm posting this thread
Welcome back to the land of the living...!
Quest guides - single and chain quests - are definitely lacking beyond the Elf region. LOTS of red quests and chain quests in Artamark, the Orc region and beyond. Some of the chapters don't have much, if anything listed on the quest list page or the chain quest page. In fact, the only one that's accurate on either page is the wastelands where there don't seem to be any side or chain quests.
Keep your eyes open for easter egg type stuff. Gogo's been on an easter egg bender of late. Any of those will be most welcome.

Ok so I'm really wanting to make a high elf but I always have trouble with mage type characters on most games. (In fact when I played WoW, my mage was the last 80 that I achieved and she was never geared or played as much as the others.)
Typically mages give the most problems with me in both playing them and playing against them. But what I wanna know is how much of a limit in the game will there be on the Elf when it comes to mini-bosses like the Kobold Chief and the White Griffen. Considering all possible specs as far as pure caster goes. No melee weapon hybrids.
Reason I ask this is cause I wanna try and make an elf cause I like the way they look (All mages really I like the way they look) but I don't wanna be hindered to the point that I can't fully enjoy the game cause this group of mobs gives me such a hassle that I have to avoid them like the plague.
Well.. There are some tricks to the HE... Your best weapons are Blazing Tempest, Incendiary Shower and Cobalt Strike. Build those up anyhow as high as you can. Glacial Thorns is also quite useful. I'd also invest in Grand Invigoration and keep that running constantly. Expulse Magic is a MUST for giong up against certain boss types - like the Yeti chief in the Northend/Christmas Island campaign and the Dark Prince dude in the swamp. They WILL use Expulse Magic against you and that will debuff you very quickly. Use it on THEM before they use it on you.
Having a good life leeching bow is always a good thing to have.
You'll want to invest your skill points in all three aspect FOCUS skills as well as concentration to bring the spell casting regens to a minimum. You'll probably want the aspect LOREs as well to boost damage.

I was thinking about this the other day and I didnt see a topic for it anywhere. Sacred 2 is still gorgeous looking with a well crafted world and beautiful towns after 2 years. By far my fav town is Bluestonbury. I love how its secluded and right next to a waterfall and bluestone lake. My least fav city is Griffenborough. I dont know what it is about it, I just cant stand doing anything near that place. maybe its the layout.
Eh.. As far as asthetics go - yeah.. I suppose Bluestonbury is ok.. But as far as anything else goes - it's not really a favorite area. No merchant, smith or runemaster anywhere in the area. The only bonus is the player chest. If I had to pick an area though - I'd probably have to go with Libi's Pratfall. Big waterfalls and leads to the Ascaron Office quest.
Though I gotta admit I share your distaste for Griffinborough. The layout sucks, the smiths aren't where they're supposed to be half the time and you have to run around chasing after them. Everything's a royal pain to get to. Orcs may be simpleminded - but at least their towns are laid out in a way everything's easy to get to.
Edit: I think I've got a new city/town that's earned the title as my least favorite. That'd be the Dryad city in the trees - Dyr-Laigh... Compared to there, Griffinborough is a piece of cake to get around in.

I still don't know why some modifiers are blue and some are yellow
gogo
I think I may have an answer to that...
It depends on if it's linked to a particular skill. For instance, I'm cruising through the west end of the Elf region and I came across two different items with the same bonus mod - though one was yellow and the other was blue.
Item 1 is a Crimson Fury Throwing Knife. Note - it has a yellow "Chance to find Valuables" modifer.
Item 2 is a generic "hoop" But notice the bonus on this item. The "Chance to find valuables" is in blue - and is dependent on you having the Enhanced Perception Skill:
Of course, my Seraphim doesn't have that skill -hence the EP is in red.
-
So anyone know if there is any way to solve this issue yet? Without restarting the game? Perhaps a file that can be edited or tweak or something that will allow me to either fail the quest or remove it from my character?
OK.. This is the one where you gotta take some gold from the rich dude in Thylysium to the farm outside of the city - then the guy in the yard wants help with a boar problem in is vineyard, and then he wants you to escort him to the big city.
How did you get him to the east gate? Did you do it by way of the long way to the south, the short way through the temple or by way of the resurrection monument teleportation?
In either case, you should be done with and free of the guy and his ox as soon as you reach the target area and talk to him. He will thank you and give you whatever reward (XP, Gold, etc...) and be on his way. The quest completed indicator should have done it's thing and the two little status bars should be gone from the right of the screen...
If that's pretty much where things stand, and they're still following you...
What version of Windows are you running the game on? If you've got Vista or Win 7, there's possibly a sliver of hope. Not quite sure about XP... You see, Windows 7 (and Vista) have a thing called "previous versions". Since the save files are stored in the C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents tree under the Saved Games subfolder, that gets backed up every time you set a system restore point.
The trick is to find the file. This is easy enough if you've only got ONE character you're playing. There are two files, one called hero01.sacred2stats and the other called hero01.sacred2save. The one ending in "stats" is a text file and you can open it in Notepad. If you've got more than one charcter, you can figure out which one is which by looking inside the stats files.
They will look something sort of like this:
v2.43.0 build: 1671SoftcoreName: SeraphimType: 1God: LumenAlignment: 1
That will be followed by a bunch of other stuff that, at this point isn't too important. The thing to do, is note the name of the file that contains your character's stats and find the SAVE version of the file. Right-click on the file and look for the Previoius Versions and it will locate them in the automated archive. Pick one and select COPY. Drop it in the Saved Games\Ascaron\Sacred 2 folder. Overwrite the existing version (after you've backed it up, of course) and start your game. It'll bring you back to a point prior to where it went south. Hopefully you'll have one recent enough where you won't have to start over completely.

Well.. Hopefully she will be back to give us an update once her computer's back and running. And hopefully the whole hacker thing hasn't scared her off.
Hacker thing? What thing? O.o
I HAVE MY PC BACK! Wohoo! I can't find the version when the silly message appears, though. :/
PS.: I'm sorry I hadn't replied, I didn't recieve the e-mails for some reason.
Ah.. You missed the whole thing. Darkmatters got hacked last week. Some Turkish skript kiddie took down the server and it took a few days to recover. Notice there are some missing posts on this thread? That's because they weren't on the last good backup.
VERY cool on getting your PC back.
The version number as Dragon Brother said - that's on the very first line where the silly message appears. It should read something like:
Sacred 2 version 2.43 build 1671
Do you have sacred 2 gold Ines? If so that includes the original and the expansion.It doesn't remove the quest chain feature wolfie, infact it adds quite alot of them. It just may have broken a few of them in the process of fixing them. As to the looks I guess it just comes down to personal opinion.
If I do, then the DVD box doesn't say so.
If you visit the Sacred 3 site, on the right hand side, there's a picture of each of the 3 editions of Sacred 2 that are currently available for the PC . Which box does yours look like?
-
Very nice and thorough. Good job wolfie!
Thanks... Just giving back a bit of what I've learned reading stuff on DM...
thank, I saw that, couldn't my skills while I'm in the circle, and can't make them enter the circle, and I can't hit him for 3-4 seconds after he's out of that circle, but after that, when I hit him, I can see damages.I'll try my best ! thanks for the help ^^
You're welcome... I did notice you had some runes stowed away in your inventory. If it's possible, you might consider a strategic retreat and make your way to a handy rune master and convert some to Expulse Magic runes and read them. (That is, if you don't have any that are already EM runes).
Having something invested in the skill may be better than nothing.

I love the Easter Eggs
I've found images for the last four, Wolfie your writeups are awesome. Here they are:
Excalibur
Douglas Adams
Forrest Gump
Jurrasic Footprints

I'm also beginning now to shift out all the old pix that were there and replace them with their real world media counterparts
gogo
I got another one for ya.. And surprisingly it was under everyone's noses...
One of the graves near where the Shadow Warrior gets 'born' has the title "Live and let Die" - which is the title of a Bond flick from '73... Noted, logged an online...

Anyone have any suggestions for Llama's Infamous electric poo?
Mr Hankey from Southpark http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/File:MrHan...istmasPoo15.jpg
Er.. Right.. So how we can expect this electrified pile to jump up and say "Hidey Ho!" or something? Besides... Mr Hankey is supposed to be a good guy..
Besides.. I do believe he's been trademarked and copyrighted by Comedy Central, and everyone else behind the show. Probably not a good idea to invite legal poo if we don't need it.
Edit: Ok.. how about a pic of a Llama..?

I'm on silver, normal mode and oh, it's in french so I hope u'll understand xD
I used fire, but same as ice, I do some dmg but his life won't go down :' (
I'm using a "fast needles" build, works good, never had any problems with it ^^
I think I may be seeing the problem... I took a look at the pic posted on sacredwiki of the Guardian himself... He looks sorta famliar. Kinda reminds me of the Yeti boss on the Northend quest. He's basically a very strong troll type character and he uses Expulse Magic. If you look at the picture, you'll note the lines of force running through him vertically and fanning out in a circle around him.
Expluse Magic is a High Elf CA that prevents your enemies from launching magical attacks while they are inside the field.. Not sure what it's called in French but it's the one to the left of Grand Invigoration on the Combat Art screen. And by all appearances, you seem to NOT have any runes invested in that CA.
When I last went up against Hanier/Walther (Walther is the name of the boss in the Christmas Island quest Same guy, just recycled), he too was a royal pain in the neck to defeat. The key to defeating him with my High Elf was using Expulse Magic against him before he could use it against me. If he throws out Expluse Magic at you, your spells don't work too well against him. I set up a couple of combos:
Combo One with Expulse Magic followed by Incendiary Shower
Combo Two with Expluse Magic followed by Cobalt Strike.
My Expulse Magic was at level 6 or 7 and Incendiary Shower was around level 5. Cobalt Strike was around level 8. I switched between the two plus two other spell sockets with straight Incendiary Shower and Cobalt strike so one was recharging while the other was in use and ready to go.
I was also equipped with a bow with some life leech and a chunk of lava smithed into it.
I also had a LOT of health potions in my bag. And patience. These yeti boss types are NOT easy.
And if he DOES manage to fire off an Expulse Magic spell at you, it helps to move outside of the rings and then fire off your spells. Depending on your level and his, he may or may not have his Expulse Magic modified to block magic attacks from outside of the circle.

I'm wondering if it's Temple Guardian specific side quest (what w/ it and them both being electric). Anyone play TG's enough to go spend sometime in that area?
Um.. No. I've managed to get all 6 of my characters past that area and none of them had a quest trigger in the area. The only quest in the area is the spider cave in Ephraim's Nightmare.

Wolfie just added this link to the Easter Eggs on Wiki!

Don't forget the Forrest Gump one either... It's up there now as well.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, so I don't really know where to ask it so here I am.
I'm having trouble with The guardian (boss in a cavern near Narmul the pheonix in crystal plane) I see his life, I see my damage on him, but his life won't go down, I spent like 30 minutes on him and nothing.
I was wondering if there is anything special to do.
I'm level 29 frost high elf.
thanks
Hi and welcome to Darkmatters!
The first thing I would do is check the Sacred Wiki entry for The Guardian to see if the weapons/spells you're using against him are a match for the sort of damage he's weakest against.
A quick check reveals he's weak against fire, poison and magic. That would tend to mean that he's stronger against ice damage. Might try using some pyro spells - or at least a weapon with a chunk of lava, poison fang or magic pearl smithed in it. Perhaps a ring or amulet with damage bonus to those elements.
Blazing Tempest or Incendiary Shower would be top picks for taking a boss like that down.
Good luck!
-
I'll have to go along with everyone on that... The blood and guts are a bit much. Even though Sacred 2 is supposed to be rated age 17+ in the US (no idea what the EU version or other versions are rated, if at all), we ALL know that hasn't stopped anyone younger than that from playing it.
And we know that there's a darn good chance they may show up here and on the wiki... Soo... Best play it safe.
-
ha...that's awesome. I remember you were looking avidly last night Excalibur... you found the sword PLUS nailed another chain quest.
Two for one
gogo
Yah.. I saw the Prison Camp listed on the map but hadn't gotten down there before. Figured I'd start looking for the bloody sword down there and found the quest. Figured I'd do it while I was there. No sense NOT doing it while I was there. Fortunately it wasn't too big a deal.
And now for my next project.....
in Sacred Wiki General Discussion

Ah.. Well.. if they're not too embarassing... and you feel like sharing, please do.. Enquiring minds and all that..
