Didn't play much today but wandered around in the game and found some things I had already done. I had already dispatched the fire lizards in the Goblin dungeons, but had not slaughtered the ghosts that guard the treasure there. So I did that.
Also, I returned, just on a whim, to my "quarters" in the Nethergate village and found that I had already acquired the Rod of Safe Descent, which I will need in the mine in the Roman area that will get me to a major quest item.
I went to Hagfen and talked with the hags, but have not yet ventured into their dungeon to retrieve the Skelkie skin. As I recall, the reward for that is Key V, the only one of Sylak's six keys that I don't yet have. So that will be high on the agenda for tomorrow, I think.
I also discovered one of the new areas that Jeff added in the Resurrection remake, and I know I have never solved it. I think it has to do with weakening defenses, which is one of Jeff's favorite puzzles. Not in the mood for that right now.
And plus, I found yet another new quest. The Hags ask me for a horned skull which can be found in the depths of the goblin dungeons. I went there and was able to access an area that in the original game was open only to the Romans. It always bothered me that I could see the place with piercing sight, but couldn't get there! Well, now I can, but the lizards there are too strong for me at the moment.
Finally accessible to Celts! But dangerous!
Also, here's a nice shot of Raven that I grabbed while I was in the Gryphon area. Raven reveals just a bit of the major plot of the game.
Nice birdy.
So I have lots and lots to do! I also checked out one of the dungeons in the early part of the game and found that I had done it already last year--the one where you rescue a very loud girl. That's fine because I always found that dungeon a bit annoying--it isn't easy to figure out how to open certain areas. Glad I already did it.
But for the most part I left off a year ago pretty close to where I should have left off in this new playthrough. Had I not gone to Goagh-Nar I would have gone back to the Inn in Vanarium and picked up my fifth character. So it's all good!
Still a bit too weak to tackle some important areas. I want to basically finish everything else outside of Goagh-Nar before I go back there again.
Next Entry.
