Qfg: questions and answers

That's odd. The only way to get the fruit as far as I know is save the Meerbat. You have to, because in addition to leaving you a piece of fruit, he also leaves you the Gemstone that allows you to get into the Lost City at the end of the game.

[Silverbolt]

Then some other fruit? The one in the Mother of the World tree?

[Corsair5]

You don't really knock over that fruit. Maybe it's for a specific class, I think Thief, maybe.

[Arsunt]

No, guys. According to point lists, this action is for fighters and paladins. And you can do it on "Venomous vines" screen only.

Here some links...
A Hero's Quest for Glory
FACS - The Resurrection

Though I've tried to throw everything to venomous vines with "Throwing=200/250/300" but I can't see results.

I don't think this thread was really designed for this, but I'm curious. I beat Shadows of Darkness again the other day, and I don't remember ever actually leaving the Dark One's Cave after killing Ad Avis. How the heck do you get out of there? You don't have the Mouth Ritual, and every time you've needed to past through the cave mouth Katrina was there to say the Ritual. However, Katrina is dead at this point and she had the ritual with her. How does the Hero escape the Cave?

Isn't he teleported? Perhaps Erasmus?

[Corsair5]

You get teleported away to Silmaria at the Victory Ceremony in Castle Borgov after everyone in Mordavia congratulates you.

[Arsunt]

Isn't he teleported? Perhaps Erasmus?

No. It's impossible.

How does the Hero escape the Cave?

I think Erana was very powerful sorceress despite the fact that she was dead when Hero escaped. Maybe she has teleported him out of the cave. And after all, Erana has got her staff. The staff itself is very powerful too (It contains a part of Erana’s soul)... Or maybe Dark One’s mouth has opened after releasing of Erana. Remember, Piotyr has escaped from this cave without any rituals.

Could you please check some puzzle point (I can't get those ones). Did you get points for those actions
    [East Part of Town] Tell Nikolai about his wife Anna (6)
    [Gooey Path] Open squid rock and get ritual (6)

[Corsair5]

Yeah, I think I remember getting points for those. But I think the most likely reason for the Hero being able to leave is that Avoozl no longer has a foothold in Glorianna after Erana pushed him back to his own realm, thus restoring Mount Malign to normal, or at least beginning to return to normal.

Maybe... I think I've already told something like that, but my version is not so detailed. Thanks.

Please, I need to know EXACTLY if this points are available or not. And if you really got them then please tell me what game version you played (Floppy/CD and patches ver.). Also I need to know what type of computer you used (486 or Pentium, for example). It is very important for me. Thank you beforehand.

I'm using a reasonably new Dell, I used NewRisingSun's patch for Quest for Glory 4, and the game itself keeps whining about Errors in the Dilithium Matrices that cause flux overloads of the Ion Core emitters.

[Arsunt]

I see. You play CD-version of game (DOS edition) through DOS-Box emulator launched in Windows XP. Is it right? I’ve checked this version one more time and I haven’t found this points. I don’t know what to do... Are you completely sure that you’ve seen them?

Can I finish Simbani initiation race first?

Last night I have answered this question by myself. I’ve increased Hero’s speed during initiation race (through program code, of course). He was running much faster then Yesufu and then he has finished first. Nevertheless, Yesufu has won this race. Alas, Hero can’t win initiation race because of game scenario.

[Corsair5]

Even if you ditch Yesufu at the leg trap?

[Arsunt]

Yes. Even if you ditch Yesufu at the leg trap. It is game scenario, that cannot be changed.
