Contact Me --------------------- 11. Thanks --------------------- 12. Legal Stuff ----------------------- 1. Intro ----------------------- This game marks my second FAQ written since I've been deployed in Iraq with the 3rd Infantry Division. I wated to write a FAQ for this game since its pretty straight forward, not very difficult and its only the second time I've written an FAQ. So without further waiting heres the guide. ----------------------- 2. Version Info ----------------------- V 1.0 Posted guide with all main story quests and optional quests.

Typo's. ----------------------- 3. Game Overview ----------------------- First this game is very good. Its a top-down adventure game much like Baulder's Gate. I've heard this game is just basically a PSP version of Champions of Norrath for PS2. (I've never played Champions so I dont know.) Now for ratings. Graphics 6/10 The graphics on this game are OK nothing too spectacular. Reminds me of early to mid Playstation graphics. Sound 5/10 The sounds in this game get very redundant, basically its your attack sounds and then some hit sounds. The quality of the sound is good but the repetitive effects can get old quick. Controls 7/10 The game controls very well for the limited number of buttons you have to use. It can get a bit confusing since every button basically does 2 things, but more about that later. Fun Factor 8/10 I personally enjoy how this game plays. The whole experience of the game I really enjoyed. It can get boring sometimes but overall I liked it. Replay Value 9/10 I gave this area a 9 because I like to get everything I can out of a game. I go through with all the charactors multiple times so that I can get good equips and just like to play around with all the skills. ----------------------- 4. Controls ----------------------- The controls in this game can get wierd if you arent used to them but with practice they get really easy and nice to use. Move - Analog Stick Attack - X Action - Square Ability 1 - Triangle Ability 2 - Circle Health Potion - L Trigger Now the R Trigger is basically your SHIFT button. R with any other button gives that button a second use. Power Potion - R+L Block - R+Circle (you wont use this much) Melee/Ranged - R+X Map Fuctions - R+Square Circle Camera Behind Player - R+Triangle Set Ability - Directional Pad+Triangle or Circle Manual Camera Movement - R+Left/Right on D-Pad to rotate Up/Down to zoom Start - Options Select - Status/Equip/Quest screen ------------------------ 5. Characters ------------------------ My Beserker and Druid characters can be found online at www.gamefaqs.com in the Untold Legends game saves section. Berserker - This is a great class if you wanna do a good amount of melee damage and still want to be able to take a few hits. The main stat for this class is strength. All of this classes "special armor" (the armor with orange lettering) will give +8 strength. Skills ------ Block - I never blocked at all during this game so I cant comment about this skill. Melee Attack - Absolutely necassary, this is a great skill for berserkers. 1% per level may not seem like much but once you have it maxed out and you are doing 124% more damage you will notice. Rend - Never used it. Sprint - Makes you and your friends move faster. Not very useful in my opinion. Endurance - This skill is ok to put a few points into but dont go sinking any more than 4-5 in it since you can just recall to Aven whenever you want. Ravage - Never used it. Thrown Weapons - This is a good skill, i like to use thrown weapons whenever I'm fighting things that stun me and run away. This skill makes it so I kill those guys faster. Savage Strike - This skill is pretty good. I usally use this skill whenever I'm about to go in ad fight a boss to take them down quicker. Feral Rush - Never used it. Piercing Howl - Never used it. Although I can see how it would be good for crowd control during multiplayer games. Recover Thrown Weapon - Fairly useful if you throw alot of weapons and you have a set you really like and dont want to lose to fast. Dual Wield - I personally love this skill. It basically makes it so you can equip two weapons to do more damage. Try to switch around the two weapons you are using to see if using one as your main does more than the other. Scent of the Pack - An ok skill to put one point into. Instead of raising the critical hit chance with each point it increases the radius for the effect on your friends. Blood Curdle - Pretty good skill. When you are being swarmed use this to take control of the situation. Death Breath - Never used it. Infect With Madness - This is an ok skill to help you out for a few seconds. When the enemy is released however watch out since for a few seconds after they are released they will still be doing the extra damage. Druid - This class focuses mainly on magic. Its the only class that has group healing skills. The classes main stat is inteligence but I would recommend a high dexterity score as well. Skills ------ Block - I never blocked at all during this game so I cant comment about this skill. Melee Attack - Ok to put a few points in this skill but it wont be one of your main focuses for this type of charactor. Sting - I didn't find this skill very useful not sure if it gets better with more points but I found a bow works just fine instead of wasting power with this. Nature's Medicine - This is pretty useful, I only put one point in it so it didn't help me out alot but a pretty good skill. Endurance - Ok skill since you won't have alot of STR but not necassary since you can recall to Aven whenever you want to. Thorny Decoy - Pretty good skill early off in the game but gets fairly useless later on when enemies hit harder it starts to last less and less. Mend Wounds - Really good skill to have to keep potions in stock but it takes time to use unlike potions, so it won't pull you out of the fire if you need health right away. Stone Storm - This is a very good skill. The more enemies there are around you the more damage it will do. I would max this skill out as soon as you can. Clinging Vines - Never Used it. Breath of the North - Ok skill but not useful against a group only against single enemies. Tranquil Thoughts - Very good skill makes you get your power back faster. Max this skill as soon as you can. Cloak of Thorns - Never Used it. Thunder Strike - Does high damage but at a very high power cost, I like Stone Storm better personally. Quake - Never used it. Tempest - Seems like a good skill but not very well put to use. Your Temepest does low damage not very high HP and obstructs your view quite a bit. Also the knockback effect can get annoying. Cleanse the Land - Another good AOE skill with a high power cost but the chance of instant death can be helpful at times. If you wish to submit anything else about any characters please refer to the Contact Me section. This section will be updated as I play with the other characters more. Thank you. ------------------------ 6. Walkthrough ------------------------ For this FAQ I will be playing the game through as a Beserker. Thus all references to difficulty really only applies to Beserkers or even Knights. The other two classes may be more difficult because of thier weaker magic using nature. For a copy of my charactor that I used to complete the game go to the game saves section on www.gamefaqs.com. The charactor there is right after I beat the final boss. A. Investigate the Scream, Save My Friends ------------------------------------------ Ok the game starts off with you waking up to some Preatox Spiders. They arent tough so make your way to the front of the inn. On your mini-map you should see what looks like a red demon head. That means there is a quest related "boss" right there. Make your way to the skull to fight the Shadowed Preatox. Just wait a few seconds before you fight him for your health to charge back up to full, or you could waste a potion. Either way kill him and head outside. Make your way through market square to Overseer Lysetta. She gives you the Lysetta Stone so that you can enter the Secret Catacombs and rescue Kaylee. Bosses ------ Shadowed Preatox ---------------- Life - low Damage - low Effects - none B. Search the Secret Catacombs, Recall to Aven ---------------------------------------------- Down here you will fight alot of Small and Large Preatox Spiders. Its really up to you how you deal with them, you can take out the big guys first and let the little ones rack up a little damage per hit, or take down the little ones nice and quick so they cant deal a death blow while you fight a big one. At the end of the Secret Catacombs you will fight The Revenant. This guy isn't that tough but you may have to use a potion or two during the fight. After that go into the room where Kaylee is talk to her then recall to Aven. When you are back in Aven go talk to Kaylee who then tells you to see Overseer Lysetta. She then sends you to the Western Catacombs to pursue the Shadowed Preatox. Bosses ------ The Revenant ------------ Life - high Damage - medium Effects - none C. Explore the Western Catacombs -------------------------------- In here you will fight more Preatox Spiders and also some skeletons. They can take and dish out quite a bit of damage so at your current level should be considered very dangerous. Never try to take on more than 2 of these at a time. You will also find Skeleton Archers, these guys are easy and can be taken out fast, just watch your health when they are around because they will pick you off and kill you if you let them. At the end you will fight The Mourning Sage. Not so much hard as annoying. If you are a melee character you will learn to hate his kind of boss, the casters. They fight from distance and run when you get close enough to melee. The solution? Ranged attacks. Well kill him to get The Ancient Volume I. Take it back to Lysetta to get your next quest. Bosses ------ The Mourning Sage ----------------- Life - high Damage - high Effects - none Drops - Ancient Journal I D. Retrieve Preatox Queen Venom ------------------------------- Make your way to the Forbidden Catacombs inside the Howling Pine Inn. In here you will fight mostly Preatox Spiders and some Zombies. When you make it to the ed you will fight Athloxxia. This boss is pretty easy but can do some damage. She also has alot of HP. She does 3 diffrent attacks. She has a regular melee attack, she will also shoot a poison cloud at you that will do damage over time and her third attack is a web shot that damages you, slows your movement and also summons a small Preatox.

Useful Tips ------------------------ 1. In any area that there is a quest related boss that you will be able to see on your map, i.e. there will be a red demon head on your map where they are, if you toggle your map from big to off you will see the red head in the general direction that you will need to go for the boss. This can be very useful if you are just trying to get to the boss and dont feel like exploring alot. 2. If you die you cannot save your game using the save game on the start menu but if you go to exit game you can still save and keep any items youve gotten since your last save. Note that this will not work when there is a boss near you or at certain other areas that you cannot save at anyway. ------------------------ 9.
