Nostradamus’ Demesne – Lionheart Walkthrough

This guide gives a walkthrough for a portion of the Caverns of Nostradamus area in Lionheart. As a supplemental aid, the walkthrough includes a map of the area and a map legend.

Map Legend

1 – Battle
2 – Blocked Doorway
3 – Nostradamus

Exits:

• A. One-way portal to Montaillou. It will only appear after you’ve defeated the assassins and spoken to Nostradamus. If you’ve already acquired the Bleeding Lance from the Crypt, then England and Spain will have gone to war when you arrive in Montaillou.

Walkthrough

1 – Battle

You’ll have to fight an assassin, a hujark blademaster, and a hujark shaman before you can get to Nostradamus, and since the shaman will block the door behind you (#2), you’ll have to take them out in one sitting. So try to kill the shaman first, then the blademaster, and then the assassin, and don’t be afraid to use healing potions. This could be one of your most difficult fights in the game. Once the trio is dead, click on Nostradamus (#3).


2 – Blocked Doorway


3 – Nostradamus

After you’ve defeated the assassins who wanted to use Nostradamus’ visions to shape the future, talk to Nostradamus (he’s the big tree-like thing, if it isn’t clear), and exhaust all conversation options. You should learn, among other things, of Asha the Betrayer (aka the Old Man). He’s the twin of Druj, who you might have met in Montaillou. Also take note when Nostradamus mentions Ahriman, “the enemy of truth and the embodiment of malevolence.” Asha and Ahriman are your two enemies.
