BLADE OF DESTINY WALKTHROUGH BY LORD MARCUS DRACON
At the beginning of the game you should stay in Thorwal and equip yourself. The best
arms merchant is Grollo, the best merchant is Stoerrebrandt-Grassberg and Minna
Musporeiken for Herbs. Wand spell #2 is very useful. As soon as you hear Hetman's
announcement, head over to his office to accept the mission. Just ask the Hetman
about payment and he gives you a writ for entry to Thorwal's armoury.
EVENINGS
In the evenings, an extended visit to the "Four Winds" tavern would be useful. You
might hear the story of the Ship of the Dead.
DUNGEON
In the south west section of Thorwal, look for the fortress. To enter, bark at the
young warrior guarding the gate and insist to see Master Dramosch.
HEADING OUT
After beating the bandits in Thorwal, travel to Felstyn. There you meet the man
Hetman recommended, Isleif Olgardson. On the way to Felstyn you'll pass
Angobodirtal, visit Beorn Hjallason. After meeting with Beorn and Isleif you may
choose to follow the leads you get.
TOURIST TIPS
Carry a sufficient supply of rope, you may need to build a bridge. On the road
from Rovamund to Nordvest you will come upon a body carrying and amulet guarding
against the spell Ignifaxus.
The marshes along the Bodir river are dangerous, you may lose equipment and you might
catch "blue cough".
Walking from Phexcaer to Hermits lake there is a possibility of an ambush by Orcs.
The orc leader is wearing an amulet guarding against Transformation magic. Along the
same route, some Gryphons will bar the way. The solution to their riddle is WHEEL.
The march from Daspota to Rybon is interrupted by a meeting, a dying adventuress
tells you the location of the Daspota treasure. It is on the road from Rybon to
Thoss. Following the road further, you will meet harpies and they give you
information about some abandoned ruins inhabited by the Dark Mage who is in
possession of a segment of the Map.
There is an abandoned Inn by the road from daspota to Ottarje, where you can pause to
rest, be prepared for a fight as the cellars are inhabited by the undead.
There is a path branching off the road between Ottarje and Skjal, leading towards a
cave inhabited by spiders, plus followers of the Spider demon MACTAN. On the route
from Ottarje to Orvil, explore the Wolf's Lair, also on this route is the Druid
Gorah's forest clearing (Umbrik Sevenstones in Orvil tells you about this). When you
arrive Gorah is in the middle of summoning a creature. Don't bother attacking with
missiles. You will have to melee with the wolves. The faster the victory the
better, his forces are reinforced by Harpies and a sabre toothed tiger if you don't
make quick work of it and if that is not enough he summons a demon. Once you have wO
The mountain path from Felsteyn to Orkanger is dangerous, your characters are
attacked by brigands. You do however, have a chance to turn the situation around and
ambush the brigands in their camp as well. Near the end of the road is a cave
occupied by Goblins.
There is a route not shown on the map between Skellen to Phexcaer. There isn't a
path branching of the route, so you are forced to keep going until the end. There
isn't a sign of human civilisation beside a Temple of Firun, but you are compensated
for by an any amount of breakneck climbs, opportunities to get lost and a vast
highland moor offering ample opportunity to lose valuable pieces of equipment. The
highlight is the meeting with an elf woman who leaves your characters with the recipe
for a healiA Passing by Hermit's lake, you will walk into a dangerous swamp, where
you may lose time and equipment. On the bright side, this route gives you the chance
to meet the Unicorn and to climb to the top of a rock needle where a vision grants
tremendous amount of information. Beware this is a dangerous climb.

The first map piece you should look for is in Angobodirtal. Abusive treatment of
Beorn Hjallasson will result in a map fragment.

Ragna Firunjasdotter in Vidsland will part with a map piece only after a polite
request to look at it.
Yasma Thinmarsdotter used to live in Clanegh, but has since moved to Thoss. She once
owned a map fragment, but it was stolen by a dark mage. She will tell your
characters the exact location of his fortress.
Umbrik Sevenstones is a Druid from Orvil. He will send the characters on a quest and
upon completion, will present the characters with a letter of introduction to Tiomar
Swafnildson in Brendhil. Presenting Tiolmar with this letter will result in your
characters receiving a map fragment.
Eliane Windenbek lives in Varnhome and will send the characters on a quest. When you
complete the quest you'll get a map fragment.

characters decline to purchase it they can visit him in Clanegh.
The Unicorn can be found near Hermit's Lake. Upon meeting this creature, keep calm
and under no circumstances draw your weapons. The Unicorn may reappear after one
week, delivering a randomly chosen map fragment.
After you collect all the map fragments, you should travel from Skelellen to Phexcaer
because along the way you will discover and Orc's cave. Inside you will find an
important document. After receiving the document, travel from Vilnhome to Phexcaer
and your characters will lead directly to the ruins housing the sword.
The final part of the mission requires the team to return to Phexcaer and march north
to Hermit's Lake. About halfway along the route, they will come across a gigantic
Orcish army camp. Here they have to choose a champion and hope the gods are smiling
on them this day
