Castle Entrance – Drakensang: The River of Time

This Guide covers an area in Drakensang: The River of Time. It’s complete with a map, map legend, and overview.

Background

Following the trail of the river pirates, you have discovered Mora and thus the crown to be inside the castle of Baron Dajin. Beggar Greyhair will note something is going on and offer to take you to follow the harbor master. Before you leave, the group wishes to summarize the plot so far. Replying “until the terrible even happened” and “the baron Dajin” nets you 5AP each. Afterwards, you can head out. Be sure you are fully equipped and finished with any remaining business. Also note Ardo must accompany you on this quest so be sure he is levelled and equipped if he was not a regular companion before this point.

1 – Smoke Torch

As the cutscene hinted, and possibly as earlier forays into the forest have shown, running into the forest means you will be swarmed by animals. Pick up a smoke torch from the chest inside the ruined tower and equip it (on the main character). Only then will the animals leave you alone and can you run through the forest to #2.

2 – Harbormaster Orbert

Harbormaster Orbert and six cronies can be found at this point. You’ll have to fight them, but they’re really easy. On his death, Orbert drops the Harbormaster’s Key, which you can use on the keystone.

3 – Keystone

Use the key on the stone to open up the way to the castle, netting you 10AP.
