• Kill Lord Patroscon
• The Sword Stormwind
• Reforging Stormwind
• The Sword Souldrinker
• Reforging Souldrinker

The Cursed Lords

Talk to Leon (#1) about the life on the island and he’ll act as if he was a hunter. Since he looks like he’s lying, ask him again about what he’s doing in the wilderness and this time he’ll say that he’s a treasure hunter. After a while, he’ll submit and say that he’s a poacher who took a ring from one of the temples. Ever since, the ghosts of the fallen vassals are haunting him. Agree to help out the poor man and prepare for a very tough challenge.

Throughout the island, there are several ruins which are full of skeletons and their vassal lords. In order to lift the curse from Leon, you’ll need to defeat all of them and take their vassal rings. The ring that Leon gave you is Lord Patroscon’s. He’s located at #3, in a tunnel and then a corridor leading to the left. The other vassal undead lords are located in the ruins and dungeons at #2, #4, #5, #6 and #7. These can be done in any order.

One of the rings is located on an undead lord at the east of the city in a tower (#2). Approach it carefully, clearing the skeletons in small groups. The most useful item in here (apart from the vassal ring from the undead lord for the quest) is the potion that permanently increases your maximum mana.

The lord hiding at #3 is Lord Patroscon himself, the one who haunts Leon. After entering the tunnel, you’ll see a crypt-like path to the left after a while. Follow it and defeat the skeletons on the way. Patroscon waits at the end. There are a few useful items on him, like the rune shield and Conjure Skeleton rune for the mages.

The dungeon at #4 probably contains the most loot. There’s really a lot of fairly useful and expensive items to be found in there. The undead lord himself wears a really nice sword called Traitor’s blade (it deals 55 damage). There are also several scrolls, a lot of gold, a bookstand and some more items.

In the tower at #5, you’ll find your first helmet class item if you’re doing this in chapter 1. Otherwise, apart from the undead lord, there’s an ice protection amulet as well, though its usefulness is questionable.

The vassal lord at #6 has a bit more skeletons and once you descend down there, you’ll also find a recipe for the permanent strength increase potions. There’s also an odd ghoul in the same area, so be careful. Clear the rest of the area for some additional loot and experience.

As you continue the northern road (#7), you’ll reach another set of ruins with an undead lord in them. Besides the undead lord, the top of the tower has a level 3 lock chest which contains a Magic Protection spell rune and an amulet that protects against physical damage. If you continue down the road to the beach, you’ll find a potion that increases your maximum health in one of the ship wreckages.

Once you have all the rings, you’ll get the achievement Ghost Hunter and 500 experience. Return to Leon (#1) who’s eagerly expecting you. You’ll receive 500 experience and three different scrolls as a reward (Ashbeast transformation, Tell joke and Open lock).

Kill Lord Patroscon

This mini-quest is auto-completed once you find Lord Patroscon in the ruins at #3. Upon slaying him you’ll receive 300 experience and a nice shield near his corpse.

Tell Leon that Patroscon is dead and you’ll receive 50 additional experience.

The Sword Stormwind

The bastard sword Stormwind is broken into two pieces. Its base is located on a small island east of the harbour city (#8a). On the surface itself, you’ll face a scorpion and several sea vultures. To descend into the crack, find a pond at the southern side of the lake and enter through the hole clad in ivies. You’ll face a few skeletons and in a level 3 lock chest, you’ll find the base of the bastard sword.

The tip of the sword is located in undead lord’s lair (#4). Go the same way that you did to reach him. Explore all the corridors and chests carefully until you find the tip of the sword (#8b). Finding both parts earns you 100 experience.

Reforging Stormwind

In order to reforge Stormwind, you’ll need a smithing skill of at least level 1. Just approach any forge and pour the stormwind blank into it. Now it’s time to use the anvil and shape the glowing sword. After doing that, put it in the water trough and finally to the whetstone.

The end product is the bastardsword Stormwind, which deals 60 damage and requires 55 strength to wield. You’ll receive 200 experience for reforging the sword.

The Sword Souldrinker

The two-handed sword Souldrinker is split in two pieces. The base of the sword is located in the north-eastern part of the island (#9a). While trying to reach it, you’ll encounter an ashbeast, black wolves, talon moths and two ogres. You have been warned. After this perilous journey and finally getting to the level 2 lock chest, you’ll find the base of the two-handed sword, along with a nice amulet.

The tip of the sword is located on the opposite side, the north-western part. After crossing the ruins filled with skeletons, you’ll come to a place where you can head for the beach. On the northern side of the beach (#9b) you’ll find the tip of the sword in a level 2 lock chest. Finding both parts earns you 200 experience.

Reforging Souldrinker

Reforging Souldrinker is the same process as reforging Stormwind. After going through the forge, anvil, water trough and whetstone, you’ll receive an excellent two-handed sword Souldrinker, which deals 75 damage and requires 72 strength. You’ll receive 300 experience for reforging the sword.
