А я пошёл уже
Мир действительно маловат...
Русская версия со шрифтами пурги нагнала,то есть по-русски читать мона только разковоры с персонажами,а вот всякого рода характеристики предметов и прочего не разобрать...
Да ещё в версии на трёх дисках начисто вырезаны все киношки,а жаль...
И ещё: те кто прошёл Diablo2 у тех проблем не возникнет.
И один большой совет играющим:залесть на сайт фаргуса и скачать FAQ по игре,потомк как там описано чего ни в коем случае делать нельзя,ИНАЧЕ ИГРА НЕ ПОЙДЁТ ДАЛЬШЕ ИЗ-ЗА ЗАКРЫТОГО КВЕСТА.
Например нивкоем случае нельзя отказываться дотронаться до хрустального шара(предложит это сделать ИМП который находиться в гостиннице в ВЕРДИСЕ)
Надоело нисать,вот вам FAQ на аглицком:

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.

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...

the cat, then return to Janus’ room.

entrance. Grab the flowers. Talk to Lela, and then talk to Janus.

Find a cure for Simon

Simon desperately needs such a gem. However, the shrine will not recharge itself and there is only one gem left.

The lizard healer, Goemoe. Is treating a wounded soldier, who is in need of this gem too. I don’t like the aspect of making a moral decision who should receive the healing gem.

Solution: Go to the Healing Shrine. It is located to the north of Goemoe’s house. Get the last healing gem from it. Go to the unlocked house along the north of the village.

Solution:
1. Unlock the entrance to the catacombs beneath Aleroth
Game Information: According the elf, Lanilor, I must explore the
catacombs beneath the village to find a cure for Mardaneus’ odd
behavior. The entrance to the caverns lies near four statues. I have
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.
Solution: Go to the center of the village to the area with four
dragon statues and a bigger statue in the center. Click on the
statues until they are all turned north.

to rescue their dead master, a necromancer called Thelyron. They are
using levers that are imbued with powerful magics, but something keeps
going wrong. I have a feeling that if I can help them to resurrect
Thelyron, I may gain some information about Mardaneus.

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.
5. Kill Thelyron
Game Information: It appears that the undead necromancer is the
source of Mardaneus’ obsession! He will not stop haunting the healer
unless I kill him. Well, it may be a questionable task, but somebody
has to do it.
Solution: Kill Thelyron.

Solution: Defeat Burleigh. Talk to Sean.
The burning cart
Game Information: I returned to the cart with the replacement wheel only to find that it has been attacked while I was away. The driver’s and goods are gone. The clues nearby suggest an orc raiding party is responsible, but I have my doubts. Maybe I can find more clues if I investigate the surrounding area further.
How to obtain: When you return to the cart and solve the ‘Deliver a new wheel’ quest, you’ll automatically get this quest.
Solution: Follow the blood and later money trail. (It may get a bit tricky one you enter the wooded area.) Explore the cave at the end of the trail. Kill the bad guys. Read and take the letter off the table.

Solution:
1. Talk to Father Theofolus. He is located in the center of the church.
2. Desecration

or someone may have been desecrating the Church. That would explain
why spirits are roaming the place,
Solution: (This part is solved when the whole quest is solved.)
3. Go into the confessional and come back out of it. (I’m not sure if
anything important is down there.)
4. Peeing boy
Game Information: I saw a boy peeing into a golden chest in front of
the altar, perhaps this is causing the desecration.
Solution: Talk the Father Theofolus.

Solution: Fight your way to the basement of the abbey. Talk to The Engineer. Give him the 1000 gold and free him.

How to obtain: After getting the letter from the cave, show it to Marcus.
Solution: Talk to Tingalf. He is located by the southeast corner of Geoff’s (the blacksmith) house.
To Rivertown
Game Information: I have found a letter in the cave of the highwaymen that points towards the black market now flourishing in Rivertown. Maybe the goods were delivered to the legitimate market, but certainly not to the merchant Marcus. I am sure he will not be happy about this.

Solution: Talk to Marcus and show him the letter.
Who is responsible for the Harvest Disaster?

Solution: Talk to Hugh. He is located in the farm house near the
northwest corner of Stormfist castle.
3. Where does the key fit?
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.

southwestern corner of the Merchant’s Area.

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:
George Murdered!

Solution:
1. Talk to Mardaneus. He is located in his house.

Solution:
Kill the vampire

How to obtain: After saving the boy, you’ll automatically get this quest.
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 aura about them. Apparently, there are two other Marked Ones. Zandalor wants me to go to the Dwarven Bread Inn, where he has arranged a meeting with these others.

Solution:
1. When you leave Iona’s Dungeon, the cat will approach and continue the
quest.
2. Find out what happened to Zandalor

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.

Ilona's Dungeon
One sword is in the chamber of illusions; if you go back to the graveyard, enter the dungeon that is the level you want. If you activated the portal stones that teleport you inside that level of the dungeon, use the portal stone near the exit then look on your auto map. If you have not activated the portal stones then look on your auto map for 3 pillars with a spot in the middle that is the deactivated portal stone. North-by northeast of there, look for the health shrine at the top of the map. That is right next to the fake wall. Just below the health shrine south is a candle, put the candle out to open the fake wall.
- No need to fear the House of Madness, it is very easy to get out of there. Just walk from door to door until you reach the room with beds. Then try sleeping on one of them. That's all.

Rescue Zandalor
- Ask Rob from the Thieves guild for the positions. He marks all entries on your great map; you must take the entry to the treasure chamber. Take a look at your map; the northwest section looks like a fork, doesn't it? The left fork leads to the Verdistis part of the sewer (you're asked, if you want to proceed north), the middle one goes to the executioner (prison). And the RIGHT fork (you see fish) is the teleporter, click on the wall and you're teleported to some kegs. Just walk a few steps east and you will see a ladder to Ars Magicana. You might have to click twice on the wall, because I found a goody in it on the 1st time.
Sword in the Stone
- After you fight the undead demon, you must wait a little bit until the stone glows, then you must take the sword from your inventory and drop it over the stone.
- If you want to keep the level 5 sword just get it after fulfilling all quests in the forest.
Stalker Cave
- Get this quest first from an old hermit standing somewhat south of the urn collectors in the Dark Forest. He puts in on your map.

Borathus The Mage

- Go to the Dwarven Halls and visit the healer in those halls. Look for talk option about the grail.

- 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.

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.

- Yellow + blue = black (shadow potion, invisibility)
- Yellow + red = orange (strength)

- 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
--------------
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.
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!
