Hallo,

is it possible to solve this quest in Chapter 1? And if yes, what have I to do? (The first step would be enough)

Please excuse my bad english. I'm german an many years have past since I left school.

No. It will be available for solving in Chapter 2: Gates of Night.

ok. Thank you

you're welcome

Is the family item in the Catacombs really necessary (or doable) in LoT? Or is it something that can easily be put off until the next chapter. I'm really tired of getting knocked around down there.

It's an optional side quest. It looks like, if you don't complete it in chapter 1, you can complete it in chapter 2.

Since the grimm reapers in the Catacombs are so hard, I think the reward from Ralph should be more. Like, having a special item or something.

Will all of the side quests save over from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 if I don't complete them by the Ch. 1 ending? (I sometimes accidentally prompt the story line when I mean to complete a side quest first)

@Jayshe: Yes, they will go over.

No. Some of them you MUST complete in chapter 1. Ones that come to mind are Burnaby and Hanna, Rowf, Gladamere, the spider nest for Gretchen, and the pick axe in the mines. If you don't finish them in chapter 1, you won't get a chance to in chapter 2.

Shaz, you mean those quests can't be completed in Chapter two? I thought they would carry over... Ah well, I guess Chapter two would have some differences, since ever since the game was split, chapter one didn't have the... um... halloween quest. Yeah. XD

Where are the Rowf and Gladamere quests? I don't recall those two, I must have missed them.

Remember in Thais, the little boy with the dog? Well the dog's name is Rowf, and he goes missing one day.

Ummmmm, nope totally missed that one. Guess I'll go back and check. What about the Gladamere one?

Oh he is the guy in Ghed'ahre who lost his soul.


for the Burnaby and Hanna quest, is he the guy who gives you the broach? Because I'm looking all over for his long lost loved.

O great! So that one would have to be done while Te'ijal and Galahad are still in Ghed'ahre. Totally missed that one. Looks like I'll be playing the game again....

Edit: Yup, Burnaby is the one with the Broach. Hanna is in Thais. Someone in Harburg mentions that their aunt Hanna lives in Thais and that's where the hint for that one is.

Hanna is the old woman in Thais, walking around near the Inn.

As Amanda said, the Orbs of Magic series is a living, breathing creation (well, ok, those are my words, not hers). With each chapter, things change. People get married, people die, kingdoms rise and fall. People's lives change from one chapter to the next, based on what you do - or don't do.

With Burnaby/Hanna, Gladamere, Tad/Rowf, chapter 2 makes reference to them, but if you didn't complete the associated quests in chapter 1, you'll see their lives change accordingly. I'm not sure about the other two - whether there's a reference to them in chapter 2 or not (not looking now, as I SHOULD be working on something else), but I do know you can't complete the quests.

@Mizzou

You won't be the only one having to replay the game. Good thing I like the game a lot.

How do I find the soul? or is that part of chapter 2
The shovel and the pirates are in level two correct?
what about finding a ship to go to each place?
is there a death certificate somewhere that i can find in this chapter
maybe there should be a box that in this chapter says chapter 2 when you run up against something that you cannot solve now
what is the brotherhood for v

The soul is the blue orb behind the counter. Speak to the tavern owner, then the other tavern patrons.
