The scepter of Varant

 

Rhobar is the owner of the artifact called the scepter of Varant. You can get the quest connected with the scepter, in the further part of the game when you have to choose one of possible endings. You need the scepter for two possible paths but the main quest is given by Xardas, when you choose the Orcs’ path (and you leave this world together with Xardas). Your job is to take the scepter from Rhobar and it means that you have to kill the King.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

The divine artifact of Trelis

 

The artifact of Trelis is the Amulet of Adanos. Vak the Orc leader in Trelis is the owner of the amulet. I described earlier how to get this artifact from Vak’s hands (check Trelis and Nemora quests).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find the king!

 

It’s a prize for reaching the king Rhobar in Vengard. You can get there when you find the teleporter stone leading to the temple in Vengard (described later). Then you have to go through the entire city invaded by the Orcs (Check the Vengard quests).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find out for Rhobar what Xardas is planning

 

King Rhobar gives this quest when you meet him in Vengard.

 

Rhobar orders you to learn Xardas’s plans. Go to Nordmar and find there the necromancer’s tower (it’s described earlier). When you find Xardas he reveals his plans to you (just talk to the magician).

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find out for Zuben what Xardas is planning

 

This quest is similar to the previous one but his time it’s Zuben the Hashishin leader who gives it (you have to finish a lot of quests in Varant, before you can meet Zuben). When you learn the plans go back to Zuben with a report.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 1000

 

The staff of the Eternal Wanderer!

 

The staff is an artifact that belongs to Zuben. You can get this quest in the late moment of the game when you have to choose the ending (similar to the quest connected with the scepter of Varant). But this time it’s a Hashishin path you choose.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find the teleporter rune that takes you to the King

 

Roland the leader of the rebels from Okara gives this quest.

 

The teleporter is hidden in Gotha. After killing all the undead enter the Gotha underground tunnels. You can find the teleporter rune at the end of the tunnel – it’s on the crate.

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find the crown

 

It’s about the Crown of Adanos, the artifact hidden in Mora Sul temple. I described earlier how to get the Crown (check the Mora Sul quests).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find the Robe

 

It’s about the Robe of Adanos. Check the KDW Camp quest to find put how to get the Robe.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find the divine ring of magic

 

It’s about the one of Adanos’s rings. You can find it in Nordmar on the body of the undead warrior Akasha (check the Fire Clan quests).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find the divine ring of life

 

It’s about the second ring of Adanos. You can find it on the body of the demon you kill in Gotha (check the Gotha quests).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find all the fire chalices of the Fire Mages

 

You do this quest for almost the whole game. A lot of characters mention the fire chalices but this quest is given by Sebastian the Fire Mage from Reddock. You have to find all twelve chalices and use them according to the path you choose. When you support the rebels bring the chalice to Milten in the Monastery and then throw them into the sacred fire (described later). When you support the Orcs bring the chalices to Grok from Geldern. In the next chapter I give the list of people and places connected with all fire chalices.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 15000
  • Reputation: Rebels +2

 

Liberate Myrtana

 

Innos gives this quest, when you are able to talk to him, (it’s late moment of the game). You have to banish the Orcs from Myrtana, by killing all their leaders and liberating all occupied towns. It’s very hard task because of the number of the Orcs stationing in these towns.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 10000
  • Reputation: Rebels +3

 

Open the gates to the unknown land

 

Xardas gives his quest when you choose the Orcs path. It’s the one before the last quest in the game. When the necromancer leads you to the portal (described later), approach to the teleport an activate it. You have to use the scepter of Varant and The staff of the Eternal Wanderer (you got it earlier).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

 

Open the gates to the unknown land

 

The last quest given by Xardas - it’s a consequence of the previous task. After the activation you have to open the portal. The, both of you enter the portal and disappear.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

 

The fifth temple

 

This quest appears during a conversation with Dargoth from the Monastery, when you start asking about Akasha and his artifacts. It’s hard to get this quest because of the problems with cooperation with Dargoth – it’s hard to talk to him fluently. To complete this quest you have to go to the lowest level of the Library and read one of the books (some kind of chronicles). Then you learn where to look for Akasha’s artifact. Be careful because when you finish reading you are attack by a demon and a few skeletons.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Receive the power of Innos

 

It’s one of the last quests after choosing the rebels path.

 

After getting all of the Adanos artifacts and the scepter of Varant go to the Monastery and put these items on the Innos altar. This way you get the power of Innos.

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Go to the portal with Xardas

 

It’s one of the last tasks after choosing the Orc path. Xardas gives this quest when you finish his previous tasks. Your job is to escort Xardas to the portal to another land. The trip is going to be long (from the Xardas’s tower to the forest near Okara) and you have to take care for the necromancer. Xardas cannot get killed and you surely face some beasts and few groups of the rebels and Hashishin.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Free the desert from the rule of the Hashishin

 

It’s a main quest but you can finish the game (according to each path) without completing it. Vatras the Water Mage gives this task. The magician wants you to banish the Hashishin from Varant by killing their leaders and liberating the occupied cities. It’s a difficult job for one man but sometimes you may ally with the Nomad and slaves. When you kill Zuben in Ishtar do not forget to take his staff of the Eternal Wanderer (this way you still can finish the game according to the Hashishin path).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

 

Throw the fire chalices into the sacred fire

 

Milten gives this quest when you find all of the fire chalices.

 

 

Throw all the chalices to the sacred fire (it’s just next to the Innos altar in the Monastery). Now you can bring the blessed chalices to the paladins you met during your journey (mainly in the rebels camps and Vengard).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 12000

 

Fulfill Xardas’s plan by the book

 

Xardas gives this quest and there is nothing to explain: do exactly what he says (described as other quests).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

For Beliar

 

It’s one of the last quests (it appears when you put the artifacts on the altar of Beliar). Frankly speaking it’s done a second after you get it.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

 

For Innos

 

It’s similar quest to the previous one, but this time it’s altar of Innos (just put the artifacts on the altar). .

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

 

Kill king Rhobar

 

Xardas and Zuben want you to kill the King but the main quest is given by Zuben. Killing Rhobar is a condition of finishing the game according to the Orc and Hashishin paths. You have to teleport to Vengard and kill the King Rhobar.

 

Rhobar is a skilled fighter (he’s very immune to blows) and his warriors assist him. You may kill all of them or just try to kill only the king and try to escape using the teleporter rune. You may also ally with Lee you met in Nordmar (it’s described earlier).

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000
  • Reputation: Hashishin: +5

 

Kill the Orc chieftains

 

It’s one of the last quests when you choose the Hashishin path, (Beliar path). Beliar wants you to kill all the Orc chieftains: Uruk from Cape Dun, Varek from Montera, Umbrak from Silden, Grok from Geldern, Vak from Trelis and Kan from Faring. You have to liberate whole Myrtana and face a power of the Orcs. Sometimes you may ally with the rebels (it’s described earlier).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 10000

 

Kill Xardas

 

It’s one of the last quests when you choose the Hashishin path, (Beliar gives this quest).

 

Beliar is angry with Xardas and wants you to kill the necromancer. Go to the tower of Xardas and kill the magician.

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

 

Kill Zuben

 

It’s a part of finishing the game according to the Hashishin path (Beliar gives this quest).

 

Beliar is not happy with Zuben and wants you to take his place. You have to go to Ishtar and kill Zuben. Do it in the same way as you did with Rhobar.

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000
  • Reputation: Rebels +2

 

Seize Beliar’s power!

 

It’s similar quest to the one connected with getting Innos’s power.

 

You receive the power when you put the artifacts on the altar of Beliar and talk to the god.

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find the five artifacts of the Adanos

 

This quest appears when you talk to king Rhobar or Grok the shaman. Artifacts are hidden in different places and it takes a lot of time to find them all. In the next chapter I give the list of these artifacts.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 2500

 

Find Xardas

 

It’s one of the first quests you get in the game and it takes a lot of time to finish it. You can get a lot of tips during your journey but it’s Nordmar where you can find an answer where is Xardas. Just find Hanson and his wolf (it’s described earlier).

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 1250

 

Find Zuben

 

Nobody gives this quest. It’s just a reward for meeting Zuben in Ishtar.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 1000

 

Destroy the five artifacts of Adanos

 

Xardas gives this quest when you choose the Orc path.

 

When you collect all Adanos artifacts Xardas orders you to destroy these items. You can do that only in the great furnace of the Hammer Clan. The furnace is in the Orcs’ hands (check the Hammer Clan quests).

 

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

 

Destroy all major rebel camps

 

Kan the great leader of the Orcs gives this quest. Your job is to destroy all the major camps of the rebels: Reddock, Okara, Nemora and Vengard.

Benefits:

  • Experience points: 5000

spoiler start
Playing v1.72, I found a Rune Shield in the metal chest in a jackal cave doing a quest for Kafa and the blueprint for a Rune Sword in one of the metal chests found in Geldern's treasure rooms. I forged the sword using a Pure Magic Ore Blank, honed the blade and poisoned it and now use it in combination with my self-forged El Bastardo (psnd and honed). Is it possible to bless these weapons as well? That would be awesome haha...
I have an extra Pure Magic Ore Blank I don't know what to do with now :C...I don't have recipes for the Ancestor swords...oh well. Back to the point yes there definitely are Rune weapons out there...I've even heard of a Rune bow O_.
spoiler stop

Talk to everybody and then go back again and see if there are new dialog options. The story is told by many NPCs and each contributes a bit to the story line; thus it will not be told in proper sequence. One of the many issues with building a totally non-linear game.

The point is there is not one person that I can tell you to go talk to to get the main quest. It will unflod when you have talked to all the people you need too

The orc heavy armor that you get as a reward (free) for completing a quest from Kan is only marginally better than paladin. You can't buy it, and thus you get it very late in the game, when you don't really need it. And like I said though better only by a very small factor. Thus, since you can buy paladin armor when you get your rebel rep to 50, thus getting it early enough in the game to do some good is still the best bet. And it does not matter which ending you choose, you can wear it, unlike Gothic 2. There are unsubstantiated reports of Rune(?) armor in the game, but all I ever found was the Rune shield.

BTW, I am currently playing a free (client SW and connection) MMO called Perfect World, you can download the client sw at their website. Come join the party!!
