Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura Walkthrough

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick ObscuraDeveloper: Troika Games Publisher: Sierra Walkthrough by Steve Metzler (September, 2002) Arcanum is one of the most innovative RPGs to have been released since Fallout, which is no surprise given that its creators were part of the original Fallout team. The quirky blend of technology, magick, and the 'steampunk' setting remeniscent of our own 1800's make for interesting fare indeed. If this is the first RPG you've ever attempted, then be warned: it is quite a difficult game. Figuring out what you have to do to complete a quest is one thing; being able to accomplish it is another thing altogether. However, with this guide at your disposal, hopefully your objectives may be made that little bit clearer, and you can kick back and enjoy this fantastic game. By the way, it's best to ignore what a lot of the mainstream gaming sites said about Arcanum. They were largely over-critical. Sure, the graphics are nothing to write home about, and the interface is a bit unwieldy until you get used to it... but once you get past these niggly bits you'll find an RPG of astonishing depth lurking behind there! It took me literally months to finish my first game, and then I found myself itching to start a new one the very next day. Conventions Once again, I've chosen to eschew that handy yet game spoiling Table of Contents. OK, so this walkthrough is loaded with outright spoilers anyway, but I try not to ruin all the fun right up front by providing you with a listing of all the important locations you will visit. If you're looking for references to a particular location, person, weapon, etc., then just search for it in your browser. At the bottom of this guide are handy tables for locating important items and people. Directions are given assuming that the top of your screen is north, and the longer direction names are abbreviated, like SW for southwest. Tips Before you even THINK about starting to play, download and apply the latest patch (version 1.0.7.4 at the time of writing), which may be obtained here on the official Arcanum site. This patch became available on the 30th October, 2001. As these things go, it's five years down the road, and the Sierra Arcanum site no longer exists. But fear not, we have archived the 1.0.7.4 patch for you here: Arcanum 1.0.7.4 patch I would never pretend to tell you what type of character to create, especially in a game where you have as much free reign as this one. Choosing a male or female character doesn't make much difference, except female characters have less choices in the race category. You might as well choose a background to make your character a little more interesting, but be careful not to choose one that loads up a single stat at the expense of many others unless you really want your character to be unbalanced. Whether you choose to specialise in technology or magick, or even play the middle road, it matters not. You should be able to complete the game with all character types. Having said that, let it be noted that Melee or Magick specialists have it a lot easier than those who choose the way of Guns. Also, be sure to consider the likes of Persuasion as a favoured skill. It's good to have the option of being able to talk your way around combat every so often. One other thing to consider at character creation time: dwarves make lousy magicians because it costs them twice as much Fatigue as any other race to cast a spell! Do yourself an enormously big favour and make sure to purchase a set of Lockpicks from the virtual shopkeeper at character creation time. I couldn't find any merchants who would sell them, and without them you can't pick a lock on even the lowliest chest. Having said that, if you don't have a set of Lockpicks, you can usually bash open locked containers (and doors!) instead. To do this, first make sure you remove all valuable weapons from both your own and your followers' weapons slots (using weapons to bash damages them unnecessarily). Enter Combat Mode, then Alt+Click on the container or door. Your followers will join in the fun! You will find Lockpicks here and there eventually, but it's handy to have a set from the start. Of all the stats, Dexterity (DX) is perhaps the most important. Firstly, it boosts your Armour Class (AC), making you more difficult to hit in combat. But even more importantly, it directly affects your Speed. The number of attacks you get per combat turn (assuming a high speed weapon) is roughly DX/2, so once you get your DX up to 20, you're getting in at least 10 attacks per turn, maybe even more if you're not encumbered at all (each level of encumberance deducts 2 from your Speed, so it's best to travel lightly yourself. Load up your followers with the heavy stuff). And finally, DX is the stat that governs how far you can advance in Bow, Dodge, Melee, and Throwing. These are the most important combat related skills. In order to use an item in your inventory, just drag it over the 'hand' icon to the right of your inventory. If it's a usable item, the icon turns green and you can drop it on the hand icon (if it's not usable, the icon turns red). When you drop it on the hand icon, one of two things happens: a. You'll wind up reading the item if it is a book, note, newspaper, etc. b. Your cursor turns a different colour, and you are returned to the game world. The next object or creature that you click on will have that item applied to it. This is how you can use scrolls and potions on followers, creatures, and even yourself. Getting out of town onto the World Map can sometimes be an anxiety-inducing affair. Usually, you just have to travel far enough out of town. You know you've reached the right spot when the map icon on the top left of your screen turns into a blue globe! Below, I've marked each important location with it's World Map coordinates, as you can find most places simply by wandering close to them. Sometimes people will tell you the location of an important place, and this puts it on your World Map. In a few cases, you can ONLY find a place if someone puts it on your World Map. After dispatching all your foes in battle, just right-click to exit combat mode. Any followers you have along with healing skills will automatically begin the process of healing you. Speaking of which, if you get tired of waiting for someone's Fatigue to recharge, a handy trick is to just advance the time 1 hour using the Sleep menu. Magical Chests and other such caches usually contain RANDOM magickal items. I've only bothered to document the items that are always at a particular location. Most often, these always-present items are 'hexed' (evil). Combat is by far the easiest way to gain XP in this game. Just wandering around on the World Map for a while and beating up on whatever attacks you will often result in you going up a level before you even know it. Characters attempting to take a diplomatic route through will find it to be very hard going indeed, as the XP gained in solving quests pales in significance to that obtained by just killing things. Anyway, you need to be quite adept at either Melee or Magick to even complete most of the quests. You simply cannot talk your way around monsters no matter how high your Intelligence (IN) is, or how good your Persuasion skills are! If you try to lug around all the interesting objects you find, even if you share the load with your followers, you'll soon find yourself running out of space and/or becoming encumbered. The best solution I found was to store spare items in the dressers of the inn rooms you stay at. No one seems to ever touch anything you store there! On a related note, you can store large items in your hotkey slots, without limit to the size of the item (but its weight still registers in your inventory). A caution about schematics: just because you bought a schematic and you have the 2 ingredients necessary to make a new item doesn't mean you'll succeed! For instance, early on in the game I bought a Bullets schematic. But I soon found out that you need a lot more than Saltpetre and Charcoal to make Bullets. You also need to be quite a few rungs up the ladder in the Explosives technological discipline. So it is with a lot of schematics you find or buy. In a lot of cases you must have expertise in more than one discipline to be able to combine the items, so beware. When you pickpocket someone for their Gold, you only get 100 coins per successful attempt no matter how much they have on them. I reckon this is fair, otherwise the game would be too unbalanced in the favour of thieves. he/she will then grant you the rank of Master.

This is the easiest way to find them all: take the portal behind Arronax.. Of course. Arronax! See Quest 1 below. As a matter of fact.

Speak to Arronax... just cross the bridge and kill the 2 guards there to gain entrance. you can kill Arronax to complete Ring of Brodgar Quest 1. If you have to fight. it was Kerghan! Now. you will have to fight your way through Kerghan's castle. go figure). Take the portal to the east. the portal here takes you back to where you first entered The Void. However.

Defeat Kerghan. you can enlist the aid of some of Kerghan's enemies. The very next portal after that (past 4 fearsome Bludgeoners) brings you straight in front of Kerghan. if you are of Evil Alignment and go with your normal followers. Gorgoth should join you if you fetch the carcass of one of the lizards you just killed while fighting your way towards him. or even if Arronax is already dead!

Roll the credits :-) Alternatively. Anyway. but once you kill him and Arronax. . the game ends abruptly and most unsatisfactorily. so 11 + 4 = 15. that's the gist of it. Gorgoth. This is the "All-Father" (the 12th god) to whom you make a final offering which gives a very powerful blessing that cancels out all previous ones. Just use the Vendigroth Device on him then to bring on the good ending. and also what you need to offer each one (but you can usually figure this out from the verse on the large altar in most cases). and Sun (you can see the corresponding symbol on each altar). you will encounter quite a few altars: 12 to be exact. you can side with Kerghan and take this quest. but my party made mincemeat out of him without me being able to even get near the creature! Once you defeat the serpent avatar. Within each circle. Anyway. an offering to a greater god cancels out all the blessings given by the lesser gods in that circle. Then at University Court in Tarant. you run into Aldous T. to Kai'tan. and then kill him (he morphs into a huge Level 50 serpent. the Bane of Kree. but then Kerghan turns on you and you narrowly defeat him.

Kill Arronax. Virgil will attack you then. This order is laid out on his wall chart. I soon found that making an offering to one altar seemed to cancel the effects of previous offerings. Effect Arronax's release from the magick that binds him. Now you're left to face the end of time. Equally as important though is the order in which you make the offerings. Three fives and then the one". but that's life. but you have to make 15 offerings. you have to make offerings in the order set out by the symbols on the wall chart. Notice that there are only 11 gods represented on the chart. declare him a madman.. and reference is made to it on the 2nd to last page of his book: "Four powers and then a fifth. once you kill all of Kerghan's enemies and report back to Kerghan..
