Divine Divinity
Version 11.26.02

This is my very first FAQ.  I have always wanted to make one, so I am finally 
doing it.  If you need to contact me, feel free to email me at 
[email protected].  Also, if you use AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) my screen 
name is kmagicka.

Another small note on emails:  In the subject line, please refer to Divine 
Divinity.  Also, I've been getting a bunch of scam and virus containing 
emails, do not, I repeat DO NOT, give my information out to anyone not 
connected to Divine Divinity.  What I mean by connected is anyone needing 
information about the game, or anyone that wants to use my Walkthrough/FAQ to 
publish on another website.

And one last thing:  Even though this Walkthrough/FAQ is published on many 
international websites, I only speak and read English.  So please, if you 
speak other than English, please translate it for me.

some information on robbing people.

all the information for it.

------------------
A Little About Me
------------------

I decided to add this section because of several questions that I have 
received about me.  Mostly it has been where am I and what do I do.  Well, 
here is a bit about me.

I am currently living in Hampton, VA.  For those of you that are outside the 
United States, I'm in Virginia.  I work full time in the United States Air 
Force.

Just recently I had my first child.  She is absolutely the biggest blessing 
of my life.  Her name is Aurora McKaille (McKaille is her middle name).  She 
was born on 11 September.

Well, other than that, life is grand.

Version History
----------------

10.14.02:  The FAQ is born!

10.22.02:  I've added a bit more info to the quests section and I have also 
added more to the teleporters.  There is now more, in-depth information about 
potion making.  I have also done some reformatting to make it a bit more user 
friendly.

10.27.02:  Just added more information, nothing big.

11.08.02:  Big update.  Sorry it has been so long.  Between a full time job 
and a two month old, time has been in short supply lately.

11.26.02:  Yeah, I know, it's been awhile.  I just added a few more quests.

-----------
The Quests
-----------

The following information is only the quests and how to solve them.  Since 
this game is, for the most part, open-ended, there is really no way to write 
a 'walkthrough.'

The quests that I have all the information for are listed first; otherwise, 
they are in alphabetical order.  All the quests are with their game title and 
information.  Not all of them are complete, but as I get more information, I 
will update the FAQ.

Also, a quick and easy way to find a specific quest, hit CTRL-F.  In the 
window type the name of the quest or a keyword or two and hit enter.

If you have any information to add, just drop me an email.

These are the quests with complete information...

An appointment with the new ruler of Ferol.
Game Information:  I have a letter of invitation from Janus, the young son of 
the late Duke.  He wishes me to meet him at Stormfist castle, the ancient 
stronghold of the human royal family.
How to obtain:  The quest is given to you after you talk to Commander Ralph 
and expose Dr. Elrath.

sure you are ready.)

       the castle gate.  Show him the invitation.  Walk into the castle.

       northeastern room of the castle.
   3.  Find the white cat
       Game Information:  It appears my duties as Lord Protector for Duke
       Janus consist of foolishly inconsequential and petty tasks.  The
       spoiled brat has asked me to find his white cat, which must be
       strolling somewhere in the castle.  Afterwards, I should report back
       to him.
       Solution:  After leaving Janus' room, the cat approaches you.  Talk to
       the cat, then return to Janus' room.
   4.  Deliver a love letter to Lela
       Game Information:  I am beginning to feel like Janus' errand boy.  The
       little brat has given me a love letter that I have to deliver to his 
       –girlfriend- Lela.  I really hope Lela is not as arrogant and spoiled
       as Janus.  Afterwards, Janus has asked me to return to his room again. 
       I fear this irritating boy has more menial duties in store for me.

       Afterwards, talk to Janus again.

       flowers in the garden of the castle.  I am to pick some flowers and
       take them to Lela...*sigh* As usual, I am to report back to him when I
       am done.  I really need to get out of here!
       Solution:  The flowers are located near the well next to the outside
       entrance.  Grab the flowers.  Talk to Lela, and then talk to Janus.
   6.  Find the teddy bear
       Game Information:  Lela has lost one of her favorite toys...a small
       teddy-bear called Uncle Samakayne.  It's my task to find this
       pointless bauble somewhere in the castle.  I hope these foolish
       errands will soon end.
       Solution:  The teddy bear is in the corner just outside of Janus'
       room.  Give the bear to Lela.  When you leave her room, you'll be
       approached by Theus.
   7.  The merchant's meeting
       Game Information:  Theus has informed me that my presence is required
       in the throne room.  Apparently, I am to protect Janus during a
       meeting with some fat, short-winded merchants.

A trapped friend
Game Information:  a little girl in Verdistis asked me to free her trapped 
cat Cosmo from a cellar in the Merchant's Guild.  But how can I get access to

little girl named Diana will approach.

       to move all four statues to the north in order to open the portal to
       the catacombs.  Lanilor warned me that evil creatures wander the
       caverns.  I have a bad feeling about this.

       Thelyron, I may gain some information about Mardaneus.
       Solution:  Carefully watch the cut scene where the skeletons pull
       various levers.  Go to the lever that isn't getting pulled.  When the
       cut scene begins again, pull the lever when it's your turn.

       surrounded by other undead creatures.

       Game Information:  Hugh asked me to find the lock to which the key I
       found on Tipsix's body fits.  Seems like looking for a needle in a
       hay stack...
       Solution:  Unlock the door in the cellar on the Blue Boar Inn.  It is
       the room with the poison barrels.
   4.  The key fits!
       Game Information:  I was able to open a door in the Blue Boar Inn with
       the key I found on the foul Orc's body.  The room was filled with more
       barrels of poison like the ones I found in that cave the Orc was
       hiding in!  I better question the owner of this inn about what it is
       doing there!
       Solution:  Talk to Splinter.  He is the owner of the Blue Boar Inn and
       is located behind the bar.
   5.  The cellar was rented to Dr. Elrath
       Game Information:  The cellar was rented to a Dr. Elrath who I can
       find in the merchant's area.
       Solution:  Talk to Dr. Elrath.  He is located in his house in the
       southwestern corner of the Merchant's Area.
   6.  Dr. Elrath's key was stolen
       Game Information:  Dr. Elrath claims that his key to the cellar had
       been stolen.  I don't know whether I should believe him or not...
       Solution:  (I'm not sure how I solved this one.)
   7.  After leaving the doctor's house.  Go to the southeastern corner of
       his house and press the 'alt' key.  You should be able to find a key
       near a rock.  Take the key.  Go back and unlock the door to his house.
       (I used the 'alt' key to find it.)  Spin the globe and use the lamps
       to open both doors to the room that leads to the cellar.  Once in the
       cellar kick the demon's butt.  (The hit-and-run tactic works
       wonderfully.)  Take the two potions from the bookcase in the
       southeastern corner and the letter from the table.
   8.  Dr. Elrath is a fake!
       Game Information:  After exposing our good doctor as the perpetrator
       who was causing the plague in Rivertown, I am now quite sure he was
       behind the poisoning of the harvest in the farmlands!
       Solution:  When leaving the house, you'll run into Dr. Elrath.  After
       the confrontation, the quest will be solved.

These are the quests that I am still working on...

       Solution:


Meet the wizard, Zandalor, at the Dwarven Bread Inn
Game Information:  Zandalor, a powerful wizard, rescued me from a bounty 
hunter riding a small dragon (the bounty hunter, that is, not Zandalor.)  The 
old wizard told me that an evil cult called the Black Ring is bent on killing 
me.  Zandalor also told me that I am a Marked One, someone who has a magical

lead me – if I could find all parts of it – that is...
How to obtain:  Explore the spider cave.  It is located north of the Archer's 
Guild.
Solution:

The following is quest information given to me from SpiderDude.  I haven't 
gotten the rest of the information for most of these quests, so I'm putting 
the information on here as is.  Please also note that I have yet to get to 
these parts of the game.  If you have a question regarding this information, 
I may not be able to answer them, however, I am more than willing to research 
the answers for you.

Zombie Jake in Aleroth
- Find him under the house, south of the graveyard. 
- Go to his grave in Aleroth and bring him some flowers from the grave from 
his wife. 

Balin's Necklace
- Go to Jonas, and then back to Balin, then find Balin's necklace. It's in 
one of the houses nearby. 

Graham's Revenge on Cirgon
- Either kill Cirgon and get the gloves, hardly any experience and solve the 
quest
- Or leave Cirgon alive, go back to Graham and tell him, then get massive 
experience, but fail the mission 

Buad's Tea
- It's in the House of the Verdistis alchemist, one or two houses east from 
Malcolm's house. You find a trapdoor UNDER a bed (south room). Don't bother 
to move the bed around, just use lock picking level 5 on it (on the trapdoor 
not the bed, of course). In the cellar you move the barrels away and find the 
room with Buad's tea.
- Well, I read the book, and am trying to get the invisibility ring. Haven't 
succeeded yet: Tried throwing the book into the open tea barrel, moved it on 
the shiny blue spot, tried to throw those potions in there, used the special 
gloves, you find there etc. But I'm not giving up!!! VERY IMPORTANT: Don't 
move the open tea about, it explodes, shut tea may be moved around safely. 
It's also highly poisonous supposed to kill the talking tree in Dark Forest. 

The Summoning Ritual
- Branch: Found in the Dark Forrest But I suggest doing the alchemist quest 
at the same time, then you can get the I want the herbs response, then tell 
it there are woodcutters close and he'll let you get the herbs (and you can 
nick a branch at the same time).
- Book: Free Penumbra from Thieves Guild; get her dagger at the same place 
where you get the magic lock picks. (After this you can get the "Special 
Treatment" in the whore's house.
- Bottle of Wine at the wine seller in Verdistis you get instructions where 
to get it. 

Find Teleport Stones
- The teleport stones you can get back after you defeat the Succubus in the 
Council of Seven area. Look in the west of that area for the Imp who stole 
them. 

Borathus The Mage
- Kill Boratus (flag on your map).
- Go to the Dwarven Halls and visit the healer in those halls. Look for talk 
option about the grail.
- Leave the halls for the Dark Forest, move south, staying close to the 
mountains. Take the left bend where you can see a bit of a castle. At the end 
of this cove is a cave: pile of rocks and tree stump. Beware of traps down 
there. 
- Get the grail and take it back to the Dwarven healer 

Diamonds are a girl's best friend (The Necklace quest)
- Go to the jeweler in the dwarf's halls. If you show him the picture of the 
necklace, he makes a copy of it for you. 

Stone Axe Quest
- The cave-in the mines will be open. There is a wooden barrier somewhere in 
the cave, but it's one level deeper. 
- In order to proceed through this cave-in you have to know the password for 
the sentry. The drunkard burgomaster in the dwarf's village will give it away 
for some ale, try being friendly to him and get the ale from Rimmer.
- After succeeding don't forget the letter revealing the king's brother 
treachery.
- If you complete the Axe quest by giving it to the king you get the Armor 
quest. If you complete the axe quest by taking it back to the town yourself 
and talking to that priestly type you don't get the armor quest! 

Council Of Seven
- Zandalor will join first since he is already there.
- Mardaneus: simply walk over to Lanilor's house (just north of Mardaneus') 
and open the door an evil woman (Demona) attacks you, kill her and grab the 
key to Mardaneus' house.
- Goemoe: First you must talk with one of the other healers, then you must go 
back to the Council of Seven and touch the statue again (you should see a 
snake). Then travel to Verdistis and go to merchant guild. Talk with the boss 
and go to the house he means.
- Eoulus should be in the Dwarven Village, after you finish the quest he will 
be in the house below the stone axe.
- Find the Imp, and he will tell you to touch a magic sphere and say a word 
to enter a magic world. Do this at once since this the only option you will 
get. Once inside help the bees against the wasps, while taking care not to 
kill any bees or the quest will fail. Click on the sphere again to leave the 
place.
- Bronthion will be in the Elves compound in Dark Forest, if not go to 
Archer's guild and talk to the elf there.
- Orc: is found in one of the four prisons south of the Orc Supply Train 

Wishing Well
- The best result you get is a whole level up by spending 1000 gold and 
choosing experience. Try to wait with the well until the last possible moment 
before ascending. Gives you more bang for your buck so to speak. 

Kill the five Black Ring Members
- If you go back to the main platform, where your exit path lies (middle), 
you see 5 paths, reading from left to right:
Josephine - Moriendor - Iona - exit path - Demona - Cornelius.

Special Items
--------------

The following is more information given to me by SpiderDude.  I haven't run 
into any of this stuff in the game yet, so I am not exactly sure what is 
what.

Chaos Sword
 - The Sword of Chaos is found under a rock pile, where you have to remove
   boulders and a tree stump on top of it is found east of the Dwarven
   village in the woods.

Devine Artifacts
 - Dagger: Book in Thieves Guild
 - Amulet: Amulet in the Elven Ruins at Dark Forrest, where you solve the urn
   quest
 - Sword: in Iona's dungeon, chamber of illusions. In the near of that room
   is a candle, a pentagram and a skeleton. Put out the candle and the wall
   will disappear.
You have to sacrifice the 3 pieces to get the holy weapon. The entry to the 
cave can be found northwest from the graveyard teleporter or north and 
slightly to the east from the church. There is a little group of trees and 
bushes. The entry is hidden in there. Go down and DON'T, I repeat don't, open 
the sarcophagus. Place yourself in the right blue circle and click on the 
statue. Save before sacrificing and reload until you get the weapon you want. 

Treasure cave/ Silver Armor
 - The 1st map is in a spider hole (near the elves teleporter)
 - The 2nd map you get from 'Mpenzak' in Verdistis.
 - The 3rd map in the sewers of Verdistis in the northeast within a corpse.
 - The 4th map is in the hall of the dwarfs (near the entry to the mines is a
   small prison - you need lock pick level 4 to open the door).
The armor itself is found in the Stalker cave, get the quest first from an 
old hermit standing somewhat south of the urn collectors in the Dark Forest. 
The Treasure cave is in the Northwest corner of the Dark Forest, near the 
mountains, hidden under trees. Go to each cove (2nd one) and press the ALT 
key or move the mouse slowly over bushes and trees. If you've found it, look 
for 3 crystals laid in blue bowls. Collect them (drag and drop to your 
inventory) and go south in this dungeon to an empty grey bowl, put them in 
(one by one) and proceed through the new opening. In next area just place one 
of your teleporter stones (very important) near the chests, put your loot in 
them. And leave a teleporter stone since there is no way to return, because 
the teleporter in the Easter egg area does not function. Make sure you have 
this in your inventory:
 - Silver Armor
 - Stack of 5 Ale from Rimmer
 - Exactly 2002 Gold
 - 4 ropes (the ones in that same cave)
Use the ropes on the prisons when you have opened them up. You have to use 
those ropes on the trapdoors in order to proceed under earth. You're warned 
about some imprisoned monsters. If you go there, kill all those "bugs" and 
talk to Sven later on, he will thank and reward you. 

Dragon Set
 - The belt is in an abandoned house of Verdistis. The house should be to the
   WEST of the town. When you get inside and walk towards the hatch, the
   floor will break and you'll land in the basement.
 - The shield is in the armory of the Stormfist castle. If you were already
   kicked out, approach the entrance, and fling your pyramid through the
   entrance and you'll be able to visit the castle again (just avoid making a
   mess because this seems to be an exploit and not something intended).
 - The gloves are in one of the burial pyres in the Elves Burial to the
   south. keep looking out for a selectable pyre cuz it's the only one that
   has anything inside.
 - The quest to get the armor is given to you by the dwarf king. To enable
   it you MUST bring a note from the caves (same caves where you get the ax)
   that proves the king brother's guilt (it's a study in the very north east
   corner of the caves). It's hard to get because you must defeat an
   extremely tough wizard to get there. When you are about to enter the
   throne room, you might need to use the fling trick (just throw the note
   inside the room and pick it up after the checkpoint) to get the note past
   the checkpoint where the guards take all your stuff away temporarily.
   After you talk about the note's subject, the king will tell you that you
   need to get the armor and the dragon heart. If you complete the Axe quest
   by giving it to the king you get the armor quest. If you complete the axe
   quest by taking it back to the town yourself and talking to that priestly
   type you don't get the armor quest!
Armor: go to Sir Patrick at Verdistis and after you ask him, he'll send you 
on a simple and quick errand (be sure to have 2500 gold handy).
Dragon heart: This is another tough one. Go to the warrior's guild and ask 
for admission. After the first quest, you'll be sent to retrieve it. I hope 
you didn't kill the dragon rider in the imp's castle before the quest was 
given.
After you have both, just go to the dwarfs' smith at the halls and after a 
day's work hell have the plate ready.
 - Show the restored dragon armor to the dwarf king (get it through the
   checkpoint) and you'll get the helm.

Skills
-------

This is even more stuff that was given to me by SpiderDude.

Also, throughout the game, there are several spell books laying about.  I 
would like a list of all the books and their locations.  If anyone has this 
information or even part of it, I would like to have it.  Naturally, anyone 
that provides me information will get full credit.

Free Skills:
 - Trader's Tongue:  In the blue boar inn at the bar you will find a man
   named EL'GAMMON. If you talk to him he will try to sell you useless goods.
   Buy all of them until he doesn't have any left and then talk to him again.
 - Trader's Tongue:  3 books in the Merchant guild library. 1st book, bottom
   left-hand room, middle table. 2nd book, on top of bookshelf in north part
   of same room. 3rd book, northwest door, behind one of the covered chairs
   near the north wall.
 - Identify item: gained from doing the broken wheel quest for the stuck cart
   drivers.
 - Alchemy: do easy quest for the alchemist in the dark forest.
 - Restoration: learn from Goemoe in Aleroth after you heal both sick
   soldiers and learn from the statue in Nericon's garden after answering its
   riddles.

   force the enemy to attack them will save you many times, and when playing

   resistances at level 5

 - Normal Shield 

Essential Survivor Skills:

 - Wisdom: for extra experience and faster advancement 

--------
Potions
--------

To make a potion, you need alchemy skill of at least 2.  Walk up to a patch 
of mushrooms or herbs.  Open your inventory up.  Drag a flask over the 
herb/mushroom until it blinks.  Then unclick the flask and voila instant 
potion!

Herbs:
Purple = Healing
White = Stamina
Blue = Magic

Mushrooms:
Red = Healing
Blue = Magic
White = Poison
Orange = Stamina

Flasks:
Small Flask = Minor Potion = Alchemy skill:  2
Flask = Potion = Alchemy skill:  3
Large Flask = Super Potion = Alchemy skill:  4

Mixing Potions:
To mix potions, you need alchemy skill of at least 1.  Open your inventory.  
Drag one potion over the other until it blinks.  Unclick the potion.
 - Red + blue = white (restoration)
 - Yellow + blue = black (shadow potion, invisibility)
 - Yellow + red = orange (strength)
 - Yellow + white= purple (temporary resistance)
 - Augmentor makes a potion larger 

Drudanea / Super Drugs
If you use a empty potion bottle on some Drudanea (that stuff George the 
shopkeeper asked for at the start) then you get Super Drug (need alchemy 2). 
Drink it and it seems to permanently change your stats, +100 to poison -100 
to Spirit.

Gameplay Tips
--------------

Duplicating Items
First, quicksave and open your inventory then click on the item you wish to 
duplicate and drag it to the play area but don't drop it. Then press Ctrl-L 
while still having the left mouse button clicked on the play area and when 
you see the bar starting to fill up release it. If you did it correctly (and 
there was no X over the item at the part of the play area that you had the 
mouse over) then the item should drop where you pointed it before loading and 
also be on the inventory. So far this trick has worked for me on charms 
potions skill-books money weapons (though nothing unique, I haven't tried 
anything unique so far) and the teleportation pyramids (though I reloaded 
just in case it got stuck) it should work with everything.

Robbing People
 - When you put a barrel or a chest in your inventory and drag all items
   directly into it, you can rob just about everything with no one accusing
   you of theft, just be sure to be on your own when taking the items out of
   the chest and in your inventory.
 - For the Rivertown alchemist back room who will lock the door when you try
   to get in try this: Open the door, but don't step through the doorway,
   throw the pyramid through into the corridor, then close the door again.
   Now you should be able to pyramid in and out.
 - Move the whole container that the item is in out of the house (nobody says
   anything about it but the merchants but if when you release the button and
   then click somewhere outside the shop you can leave the shop before he
   tells you anything).
 - For items inside cupboards that you can't move, you can do the same thing
   as above only you have to move each item individually after you open the
   cupboard.

Using Charm Enchantments
 - If you collect a lot of enchantments, and you can only enchant one gem
   spot, click the item you want to enchant several times. Fill them all one
   by one, and then close them. This way I made a sword with over 20
   enchantments.
 - In the last part of the game two vendors offer gold versions, it could be
   a good idea to save some spots for those. 

Portable Bed
 - In a house near the abbey you can find a portable bed. You're able to move
   it to your inventory.
 - You can also get a couple of bales of hay and spread them on the ground
   making a bed that you can reuse. 

Fast Experience
 - Find two powerful enemies that give a hefty chunk of experience,
   preferably ones that are a little way apart. (For those at the end of the
   game a couple of blue dragon riders are perfect. 10000 experience per
   time).
 - Kill the first one (and any accompanying enemies), and then use resurrect
   to bring them back to life. They'll be shown as allies, but if you walk
   far enough away they'll revert back to being enemies. Go to where the
   other enemy is, and repeat. Walk back to the other enemy, and they should
   now be hostile again. You can kill them again for more experience. You can
   then resurrect them, walk to other enemy and kill/resurrect them... repeat
   between enemies until you have suitable levels. 
 - Warnings: This can be a time consuming method. Especially at higher
   levels. If you need to sleep whilst doing this, make sure all enemies are
   hostile. If any are friendly they will die when you sleep. (And you can't
   resurrect them.) Also, make sure that any surrounding enemies can't kill
   them whilst they're friendly. If they die, they can't be resurrected
   either. 

Failed Item Quests workaround
If you messed up the Holy Weapons quest AND are through with all other
quests you can complete and are ready to go bang the gong, this could work 
for you. Do this right before you go to the gong as some of the world 
changes. First, save your game outside the entry stairs at the Holy Weapons 
conversion site. Second, start a new game and immediately save it. Third, 
open the Divinity file (windows Explorer), go to saved games and copy your 
"good" saved game into another directory. If this FIX doesn't work for you, 
just copy the saved "good" game back to its original spot under saved games. 
Now, move the data, Items and Inv files from your "good" saved game to the 
new saved game. When you do this and load the new game to start playing, your 
character should still be exactly the same (stats, items and all) but when 
you go down the stairs, you will be able to complete the quest and get an 
awesome ONE HANDED SWORD! The quest will still be listed in your book, but 
you get lots of experience points and the sword. Now walk to the blacksmith 
above the merchants and have him ID the sword. Now save under a new name, 
just in case! Go back to your files and move the new Data, Items and Inv 
files back from that last save to your "good" save and load up that game. You 
will still be in the blacksmith's room, and the door is locked - just click 
on him and it opens. Go to the teleporter out back and back to the gong and 
continue the game! JUST BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL GOOD SAVE! Good Luck. 

General Gameplay
 - Due to the high level of item interaction, some puzzles or quests require
   you to move boxes and stuff around to reveal a secret hatch, door or
   lever. If you ever see a bunch of stuff (boxes or such) piled up, chances
   are that there's something underneath or hidden by them, just grab them
   and move them aside. There might be the key that you are looking for.
 - Make sure to at least click on the books and manuscripts lying around,
   I've found a few puzzles where the big clues are found in manuscripts or
   books nearby. 
 - When you're just running around in the wilderness, use your ALT key to
   highlight items that might be stashed away behind bushes or trees. I've
   run across about 10 potions just sitting underneath a tree, but you can't
   see them if you're just running by. The ALT key is your friend.
 - You can actually pick up CHESTS or BARRELS by dragging them into your
   inventory window.... then place them at your home base so you can stash
   loot in them. Also any CHESTS that you can't pick lock or open now, just
   take them to your home base so you can deal with them later.
 - Even one level of Poison is REALLY handy. It even helps you run away
   sometimes because a monster that's been poisoned can't move that fast,
   they sort of move around in a very jerky motion as the poison is working.
 - Any weapons that have COLD damage will FREEZE opponents when you hit
   them... combine that with Poison and you can take out much larger groups
   just by whacking each monster frozen while the poison takes over. You can
   hit one monster after another and soon you have 5 frozen Orcs
   simultaneously dying from poison. It's even better when you have the STUN
   skill.
 - Read your journal, it seems obvious but it's not really... the journal
   actually contains hints that you may not have picked up during your
   conversations with NPCs.
 - Don't sweat it if you can't figure something out... go explore for a bit,
   there's tons of quests and things to do in the world of Divinity. Make
   sure to mark in on your map so you can come back later. 

Definitely DON'T DO IT tips
 - Don't enter Commander Ralph's room. He'll kick you out and lock the door
   breaking a quest. A big one!
 - Don't use the key for the Gardens on the Graveyard first. It causes a
   break by not then working for the Gardens!
 - Don't open any one of the four tombs in the holy weapon secret room. It
   breaks a very hard to complete quest!
 - Don't kill the assassin before finding the clues (corpses) at the burning
   wagon and the secret hideaway there; you'll probably bust the quest!
 - Don't get the sword from the stone and then leave the Dark woods, when you
   return almost every living thing, including the elves will be dead!
 - Don't hit the gong before finishing all your open quests, you won't be
   able to go back after that!
 - Don't refuse to touch the imp's ball! Eh? That sounded a bit perverted =)
   But anyway, you get only one chance to do so!
