@gmdarius.bsky.socialIt’s the final push through the battle fiend as the elven forces fight… someone. And we also have a sword to bring to a guy for… some reason. I think we’re gonna destroy it? But after all this, it’s time to put an end to the leaking T-Energy!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialEasy peasy little quest: Dryads want me to save a child from some brigands that kidnapped her. Don’t even need to escort her. Little did I know that the TRUE challenge… is navigating their goddamned village in the trees!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialBefore we cross the ocean again to the land of the dryads for… some reason, we have a demon to slay and a hub of some great machine to poke at. Despite being a flying demon though, you’d THINK I’d have problems bringing it to the ground.

@gmdarius.bsky.socialWell, I’ve been here before, so it’s not like anything here is THAT much of a challenge to me. Let’s hope that, before I head to the jungle, the massive scorpion has one good sting in it!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialThe current king is trying to keep a powerful weapon out of the hands of a possibly corrupt prince. And guess who’s job it is to find the recipe for this weapon? And mayhaps destroy it as well?
You don’t vote for kings, right…?

@gmdarius.bsky.socialUnfortunately there is still one more encounter to be had with the BS Fog Monster, during which I get to recite my own personal list of things I hate less than this boss. Tune in to hear what this monster beats out!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialThis place went from being a relatively chill land to suddenly being the worst. So many undead reside here, sure, but it’s not the undead or even the sorta-illithid monsters that drive me made. It’s the ever intangible fog.

@gmdarius.bsky.socialWhile joining a lizard family sounds neat, I think I'll take this moment to continue the Class Quest. After collecting some stuff in a desert, it’s then off to a Tarentino reference to finish this leg of the quest. THEN back to the lizards!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialBefore we can finish up here on the islands with the mazes and everything, we’re gonna SLAY A DR—demon. A big ol’ demon. Straight out of the Lord of the Rings. AND THEN SLAY A—nope, now he’s gonna help us to the swamp.
Huh.

@gmdarius.bsky.socialWe’re been dancing around this maze and the islands it’s sitting under for a VERY long time it feels like. Most of that IS me just faffing about, but at least, at long last, I am able top FINALLY fight a big ol’ DRAGON!!
@gmdarius.bsky.socialI’ve been denied my dragon slaying last time, but maybe now, after I talk to the creep and the Seraphim then the creep then the elf and OH GOD LET ME JUST SLAY SOMETHING!!. #sacred2 #retro #xbox360

@gmdarius.bsky.socialWe reach the realm of the Seraphim, an island in the middle of the ocean where a plethora of elemental creatures wreck some form of havoc. And in order to destroy one of the relics that bring the dead to life, I must – Oh, that’ll have to wait now!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialWe’re finally finishing up what quests I need to do to free the elves from the orcs and while I love that said quest has me slaying a massive, shelled octopus, akin to a Kraken? I could have done that for free and not bothered with the elves at all.

@gmdarius.bsky.socialThis quest where I’m checking on a dead orc champion’s hands reminds me of the old D&D adventure Red Hand of Doom for some reason. Except this quest is much more silly and ends in a lot less violence. Sacred 2 is a silly game.

@gmdarius.bsky.socialI hang around a human settlement for a while and find out that most of the quests are them being lazy or just not wanting to pay their partners. Now ORC quests. They want me to collect the hearts of a ton of Trolls! Now that’s a quest I can get behind!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialThat slaver apparently sees the light and turns to good, telling me that I need to head to the West to make friendly with orcs! Hey, I have no problem doing that! Especially if I get to fight bigger, badder monsters along the way! And man, they deliver!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialIt’s a bit of a trek to find the orc encampment where the leader has my prize. One of 3 doohickies that I need to put an end to the necromancers raising free undead. Then after that, a small quest chain where I get to eventually bonk a slaver! Oh boy!!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialBefore I throw myself head long into the main story of the character, why not? Lets do a random sidequest from this random kid on the side of the road! I’m sure it’s something cute like saving their cat from a tree or scaring their bully!

@gmdarius.bsky.socialWhy do I need to take the secret passage? Maybe the humans just don’t like me. Regardless, once the Pass is passed, it’s on to Artamark, the human nation where I think the dark warrior even comes from.

@gmdarius.bsky.socialCould I continue the story and smash my way through the pass? SURE! But there is someone else here in the far South East corner of Tyr Lysia that I wanna smash first. A trio of them, actually. And think of all the LOOT!
