Topic with all the common problems 

I have a proposition for the site managers. Just open a topic, or you could use this one with all the common problems and a brief answer, like you did with the bugs. and PINNED it. the job is not so hard. you could just copy paste some good answers from the posts till now. this would help a lot because a lot of useless post would be save
here are some common problems that I noticed:

- where do a I find the 20 books?
- the mysterious set(and all that involves…secret level etc)
- what about the cavers ( earth ..etc)
- where are the screenshots and the saves located?
- how do I get into the arena in Aman’lu?
- Arinth the mad staff Quest
- Lelani’s Sorrow Quest(where are located the items)
- Treasure hunt Quest
- Amren’s vision (where are the mushrooms located)
- Spirits of Aranna Quest( where are located the ghost)
- the quest that have requirements

These are the ones that came in my mind just now
If you think this is a good idea, I would gladly help

source : http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/fil..._ii_mystery.txt



2) THE MYSTERIOUS SET(AND ALL THAT INVOLVES…SECRET LEVEL ETC)
Posted by sin316 and edited by me:

there are 3 items , well 4 actually.
bucket, book and token , and a mysterious stone that drops from the level 100 ??? guy.
you need them to access a secret area. Als read that guide on how to kill the lvl 100 guy:
http://dungeonsiege2.gameamp.com/guide/vie...43.php!orderBy=
- the bucket you find in arinth the mad/mage prison(you'll find the bucket in a secret where Arinth the mad is in the beginning(An elven prison),just on the right side of the door when you enter the room where he is, there is a torch that will open the secret zoom on your compass to see the blue dot that represents the lever that opens the secret...then go back, the secret room is on the right as you climb the stairs).
- the book you get for completing the arannas books quest (act 3 town)
- the token you get for completing the aman lu arena quest from the 10’th chest.
once you have all 4 items , you can go to any chant shrine , using a chant (written on the mysterious stone , but backwards: ‘columnarius
sectorus’) and it teleports you to the mysterious cave.

after you enter the secret level you’ll need to have with you the mysterious set and for the last door need to have all items equipped, the chant to open the door is 'requo furtivum ixo' obtain from “quit from vex”

The answer to the Chris Gorsky riddle(posted by MontgomeryBurns).I also found some other possibilities, maybe I’ll make a map or something, but I’m a little lazy now :
“well I cracked the riddle hehe.. and I got a very nice gun.....and yes a gun....more like a flamethrower only that it spits bolls of fire incredibly fast...

here’s the answer...a very long one...but the trick is that you have to shot a fire in every direction, and when he says you hit a wall that’s the wrong way....always go where the arrow flies into darkness...and when you hear a faint humming noise you are on the right track...anyway here’s the combo

s-s-s-s-e-e-n-e-n-n-n-n-w-w-w-w-s-s-w-s-s-s-w “



3) HOW DO I GET INTO THE ARENA IN AMAN’LU?
Posted by me in 2 rows

“bartender to the inn: you'll choose the second option after he invites you to tell a story...after doing this the 3'rd time he will tell you about the arena...then go down and talk to Tisteth...he'll open you the passage”

“well try one more time...there are good items&exp in this quest...pay attention on the dialogue...I will guide you in your answers

te bartender talk sometihing of Valdis and the Archmage
you answer:1.A glass of your summer wine would suit me well,thanks

he tells you to have some wine and tell him a story of your adventures
you answer:1.Hrm.What sort of story would you like to hear

he asks you about the Sea demon
you:2.Oh,perhaps you have confused me...bla bla

he asks you about the traitorous Aroogin
you:2.My conquest of... what? ....etc

and finally about the duchess Lurielle the Jilted
you:2.I beg your pardon?...

then you choose only 1.
then go down talk to Tristeth and choose the first answer every time and your way is open to the Aman'lu Arena”



4) LELANI’S SORROW QUEST(WHERE ARE LOCATED THE ITEMS)

Posted by: CmdrLucas:
“"Act 1" LeLani: Near Pet shop in Eirulan "Childs doll"

"Act 1" Fenella: Use eastern most lift from Inn in Eriulan there you'll find a small house "Elven Ale"

"Act 1" Soldier Balamar: inside House at start of Azunite Desert "Fresh Skath Cat Ribs"

"Act 1"Soldier Jordhan: Inside Inn in Eriulan "Statue of Xeria"

"Act 2" Soldier Kiernan: Inside house directly under the commander of SnowBrook Castle when you first meat her "Morden Head on a stick"

"Act 2" Alar'Ithil: Inside Left house past south gate in Aman'lu "Flask of Elven Water"

"Act 3" Prospector Gareth: A tower in North Plains of Tears just before first Teleporter go down in the tower using the lever and open one of the 2 doors to meet him "Agallan Relic" “

posted by: Spasmolytic:
“Trade the Agallan Relic with the Half-Giant in Kalrathia (or however it's spelled). He's standing at the top of one of the walls of the city, and will give you a bundle of Harpy Feathers for the relic.

Then take the Harpy Feathers to the Fletcher in the northern-most house in Aman'lu, and she'll give you the Aman'lu Orchid for the Feathers.

Will post in a minute if this is the last step needed before returning to Lelani.

EDIT: Yep, that's it. Take the orchid to Lelani. Quest done.”

Also look here: http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/ds2_q_l_s_total.html


5) WHAT ABOUT THE CAVERNS ( EARTH,FROZEN,PHOENIX)

Posted by Nogame
“Actually, in Act 3 you get a quest to go into each one.

- SPOILER -

You are to get a staff from someone in the town in Act 3 and visit each of the three Caves (Earth, Frozen, Pheonix) to imbue the staff.

Once imbued you take it to a cave in the desert to unlock the dark seal that is in the 4th seal's cave.”

By me: the location of the caves:
- Cavern of the Phoenix (Valley of the Azunites just straight from the place where you get in the valley) http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_1_ch_8_full.html (marked with 4)
- Cavern of Earth (Xeria Temple a secret that you find near the shrine, there is a ghost near) http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_1_ch_10_full.html
- Cavern of the Frost(The snowbrook haven servant’ quarters ): http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_2_ch_7_full.html (up right corner).”



6)ARINTH’S LEGENDARY STAFF QUEST

-Focusing stone(Cliffs of Azunites): go to the W Cliffs of Azunites teleport, to the Isterus caverns to the right and go up the stairs till you end near a shrine(use the chant of the dead), there is an elevator that will lead you to the first guardian of the staff (http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_1_ch_9_full.html look for number 1)

- Jeweled Shaft(Snowbrook Valley): from the Snowbrook Valley teleport just to the right after you past the bridge
http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_2_ch_7_full.html (near the red ‘A’)

-Carved Rod(N Vai’lutra Forest) : hard to explain just look at this link on number 3:
http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_2_ch_2_3_full.html


7)TREASURE HUNT QUEST
(Requires Deru in your party then go and get the quest from Prospector Albain in S-E corner of Aman’lu)

Enter here: http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/ds2_q_d_t_h_total.html

Here is a more detailed description:
1)Razka’s ruins(near the S Greilyn Jungle ) – from here you’ll get the ‘Silver Riddle – Inscribed key’ http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/ds2_q_d_t_h_total.html marked with ‘C’
2)Razka’s first riddle – use the key to unlock the door from the first cave on the right as you walk from the Arinth’s Ravine teleport past the bridge (A frozen Vai’kesh cave) here’s the link: http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_2_ch_5_full.html (marked with E)
3) Razka’s second riddle(N Kalrathia, get ot the plateau to the E ,after you’ll walk to the water the hidden Magical Oasis will reveal)


8)AMREN’S VISION (WHERE ARE THE MUSHROOMS LOCATED) –requires Amren-
(Amren is in the Aman’lu inn next to the bartender)

Posted by kamikashi:
“OK so far i have all the mushroom circles finished.
I'll list them for the heck of it.
1) Southern Greilyn Jungle- from the teleport just past razka's ruins.
( http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_1_ch_5_6_full.html marked wit 8)
2) Near the Southern Vai’lutra Forest(North) teleporter
( http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_2_ch_4_full.html marked with 3)
3) South Azunite Burial Ground Teleporter - close to where you meet Ravan for his quest in Act II. (http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/act_2_ch_6_full.html marked with 2)
4) East Kaltrathia Teleporter or the one next to it. - just follow the path and it should be (left) on top of a hill if you were heading to Darthrul.”
(here I just added the links to the maps)

Posted by sin316:
“there are only 4 mushrooms rings.

once you activated all, there is a magic portal going to open , in the center of the dungeon (no matter which one you are in), which leads to a 5th dungeon , so to say.”



9)SPIRITS OF ARANNA QUEST( WHERE ARE LOCATED THE GHOST)

There is a lot to write and you could find many of the ghosts by just following the quest details
Here is a link though still missing some parts but a good guide:
http://www.allthingsforhome.com/ds2/ds2_q_s_o_a_total.html



10)I MESSED UP MY GAME DUE TO A BUG.WHAT SHOULD I DO?
***this response is for the ones that didn’t keep a back-up save***

The saves of the game are kept in here: My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2\Save\*.* here are 4 files, 2 of then are your current save(“{name}.ds2party” that has information about your party and “{name}.ds2radar” that has information about your map) and 2 are back-ups from the last save you made before your current one(“{name}.ds2party.bak” and “{name}.ds2radar.bak”). So actually you have the last two saves from the game.

The only thing you have to do is to delete the “.bak” from the names of the files and they will become your current save (and let’s hope you are not a maniac that saves from minute to minute and this save is from a little back and it’s not bugged)

Other responses:
- restart completely the game(bad idea)
- wait for the next patch that resolves your problem
- get an unofficial fix from a site or something
- get very angry and shot your computer then bur the CD’s(just kidding)


11)FROM WHAT QUESTS DO I GET SKILL POINTS?

ACT I:
Chapter 5: The Dryad Exile Colony(1 skill point)
Chapter 8: The Lost Azunite Artifact(1 skill point)
The Hak'u, Part II(1 skill point)

ACT II:
A Servant's Haunt(1 skill point)
Arinth the Mad(2 skill points)
The Aman'lu Arena(2 skill points)

ACT III:
Chapter 6: The Agallan Trial(1 skill point)

I got a Problem, if you want to enter the first door(number 1) in the description) to find the "silver riddle" you need some sort of key, where do i find the key?

Re: Topic with all the common problems 

The Key is given you by the one who gives Deru the Quest. He's standing somewhere in the South of Aman-Lu.
Amren is also in Aman-Lu, in the tavern.

So you killed Trilisk and broke the crystal and you talked to the soldiers that appear…that means it’s a bug
Try to reload a previous save and try again. If you don’t have one read this section:

Re: Topic with all the common problems 

Indeed, #10... although I had thought it a problem with not finishing enough quests, so I went about doing so, that would make a save game from back then unavailable sadly...

Odd that noone else hass had this bug, if indeed that is what it is. I suppose I could try to start over, knowing what I know now, it would go quicker... bummer really, cause this is one of the best games I have played in this genre, and though it disagrees with some, that includes Diablo 2 which I completed.

Thank you for your time....

RE: Topic with all the common problems 

before you can leave, you need to go to the town hall and talk to some people in there. eventually after a long, tedious conversation you can open the gate. also look for the numerous side quests while your still there.
