Drakensang: The River of Time is the second part of the role-playing game, which at one time turned out to be quite popular, the path did not become one of the best. Moreover, many gamers criticized the original project for not the best graphics and the lack of compensating factors such as a strong plot, variety or unusual combat system. The second part of the game turned out to be much more impressive, so you should definitely pay attention to it. The fact is that it has become much more diverse, its plot has become more exciting, and the graphic component has been greatly tightened. The final project cannot boast of a huge open world, like many modern role-playing games, but its limitedness gives the game a kind of charm. This article will cover the full passage of Drakensang: The River of Time - the storyline in this game is not too long, so you do not need much time to complete it. However, on the way you will encounter rather difficult quests, which will have to spend more than one hour. And in some cases, they can cause serious problems for you - this is why the Drakensang: The River of Time walkthrough will come in handy for you.
Character selection
The first thing you have to do before you start the passage of Drakensang: The River of Time is to choose the character that you will play in the future. There are plenty of races in the game, so the choice is quite wide - you can become a gnome, an elf, a pirate, an Amazon, a tramp, and so on. However, to summarize, everything can be reduced to three game classes, which are standard for role-playing games. Some of the races are warriors, some are magicians, and others are thieves. You can choose any character for yourself, but if you need a recommendation, then in this project it is most convenient to be a magician - you can progress much faster and begin to achieve impressive results much earlier than the other two classes. However, this does not mean that the mage must necessarily play. Passing Drakensang: The River of Time is not so difficult as to specifically choose a more winning option. Choose the character that you like more, for which you will be more interested in playing - they are all strong in their own way. Next, you will need to familiarize yourself with the character’s window and distribute the initial skills - so you can set the development direction for your character, which you will then adhere to. Among the skills there are universal ones that will be useful to any class - for example, the art of persuasion will not be superfluous for a warrior or a magician. After that, the time will come to begin the passage of the storyline of the game.
Training
Please note that there is a Drakensang Online project that does not have a storyline to go through. This is a multi-player version of the game that allows you to team up with other players to travel together through the fantasy world of this series, defeating the strongest enemies and discovering incredible treasures. But this is a completely different game, the project that is discussed in this article has a plot - and it starts from the very start of the gameplay. From the very beginning, you are not left to their own devices - they are given a training mission during which you can learn all the necessary basics of controlling your hero, as well as get acquainted with the features of the universe. As you know, you can’t find such a thing in Drakensang Online, so enjoy the fact that they tell you in detail what exactly you need to do, and most importantly, how to do it. When you have finally figured out the basics, you can go on a full journey, which will take place over five acts. The training you take is from the teacher, and it will end when you complete all his tasks. Immediately after that, a full passage will begin.
Chapter One, Part One
In the game Drakensang: The River of Time, mods can greatly transform the passage, therefore, this article will discuss the official main version of the game, without installed mods of any nature. So, the passage begins from the moment when you get into the tavern and tell Ardo the information about the pirates that you collected while training. When your information reaches Gerling, he will offer you to become part of the smuggling showdown operation. You have no choice - you have to agree, because this quest is part of the plot. After all, during it you will find your comrade-mage - defeating the smugglers, you can save him or her (this remains at your discretion, but remember that the female magician Fairis not only has excellent spell skills, but also transfers damage very well - she is one of the most persistent characters in the game). Then you will need to save Gerling, who is guarded by a stone golem - this is a pretty strong opponent, but with the abilities of your new companion it will be easier to defeat him. In the warehouse where Gerling was kept, do not forget to collect the fire arrows - they are very strong, but it is not recommended to use them in the first chapter - it is better to save, as they will be needed later. Later you will be able to find a recipe for their manufacture, but so far their quantity for you is limited by what you find in the warehouse. After that, you need to assemble a crew of sailors who refuse to return to the ship - almost everyone will have to bribe, so stock up on money. As already mentioned, in the game Drakensang: The River of Time, mods can change the gameplay, so some tasks can be modified if you have modifications installed.
Chapter One, Part Two
Once in Nadoret, you have to complete more than one task. Many of them need specific characters. A warrior will be good, for example, for trapping Werewolf, which will be discussed later. Again, this does not mean that you definitely need to choose a specific class - it’s just that it will be easier to complete some tasks if you represent one or another accessible class. So, one of the first major tasks is to free the fairies from the island. In addition to numerous battles, you have to solve one of the most difficult puzzles in the game - and only to be completely disappointed, because the reward for this will be scanty. The second major task is the liberation of the magician, which is also a problem due to the fact that you will need to solve a not so pleasant puzzle. And the problem with it is not so much in its complexity as in the absence of any hints or tips. When you understand what's what, it will be possible to solve it in less than a minute, but it can take you several tens of minutes to understand. Well, the last important task that is worth mentioning is the werewolf hunt. This is a difficult quest, for the passage of which you will have to spend far more than one healing potion. But the reward will be very impressive - you will receive a powerful sword, the strength of which is designated as 3w. This project is based on a board game, and a similar designation demonstrates that with this sword you can inflict (3 * random number from 1 to 6) points of damage. After passing through this chapter, you have to go to the customs post, where the events of the second chapter will take place.
Chapter Two, Quano Plan
For the passage of this chapter, any character is perfect for you - a thief, mage or warrior. This part of the game is quite difficult, and at the same time its feature is that its passage will differ depending on what choice you make at the very beginning. So, the essence of this chapter is in the storming of the castle. You need to arrive at the main location of the chapter, and your main quest will be a meeting with two other heroes, Forgram and Kuano. Before you catch them, do all the side quests available at the moment, because they will bring you precious money, items and experience - all this will come in handy during the assault. Later, you can still return to this location, as new tasks will appear here, but this will already be your personal choice, which remains at your discretion. For now, you need to focus on completing the story quest. Having met with two heroes, you have to discuss the plan of the assault - it is at this moment that there is a fork, which will determine how exactly you will go through this chapter. Forgram offers to storm the castle in the open, while Kuano knows the way through the dungeons. It may seem that the second option is much safer, but in fact it is not. If you choose the plan of Quano, then you will have to fight with opponents in limited spaces, which will be convenient not for everyone. Enemies will also be enough, but at the same time they will all attack from one side, so you will need to focus both your defense and the attack in one direction. In the game Drakensang: River of Time, you can save at any point, so you should always protect yourself before the various surprises that your enemies are preparing for you.
Second chapter, Forgram's plan
Unfortunately, in Drakensang: River of Time, immortality can only be obtained with the help of cheats - and it would be very useful for you if you choose Forgram's plan. Be prepared for the fact that you can be attacked from different sides in quite large numbers by enemy soldiers. Moreover, with such an assault, enemies will attack you from a distance - they will have bows at their disposal, and you will not be able to get them. Naturally, if these are field archers, then they can be dealt with like all opponents. But archers in the castle towers are a completely different matter. To defeat them, you will need to take possession of the enemy ballista and direct it against these inaccessible archers. Only in this way can you clear your way to the castle. As you can see, both options are quite difficult to complete, neither storming the castle will be an easy walk, so as with choosing a character, be guided by which of the options you are most impressed with personally. And do not forget that the first location of this chapter will be rich in various interesting and useful side quests after capturing the castle. Return there anytime, even after completing the storyline.
Chapter Three - Finding a Cure for Ardo
Since we are talking about cheats, in the game Drakensang codes can be very useful to you if you are stuck at some stage and can not cope with it. But remember that if you play the official version, then when you use cheats, your achievements will be disabled, and your gameplay will not be counted. But if you return to the passage, then here you need to go first of all to the Island of Oblivion to the monk, whom you already met in Nadoret at the beginning of the game. Ardo is terminally ill, and you need to find healing for him. The monk will not be able to help you on his own, despite his healing power, but will give you access to the location where the elves live. Go there to meet the queen, who has the most incredible healing gift in the world. But the elves do not even want to talk to you while pirates from the sea continue to attack their forest. Therefore, you need to deal with the pirates, but before that, try to complete all the side tasks from them, as well as pump all the available skills from the local masters. After all, if you choose the most bloodthirsty method of dealing with pirates, that is, killing them, the elves will not want to help you with the training. However, there are other options: you can arrange a diversion so that the pirates begin to attack each other, or communicate with their leaders and, using the gift of persuasion, persuade them to stop disturbing the elves. Having got rid of the pirates anyway, return to the elves - they will lead you to their queen, who will also prove to be powerless. But she will give you hope - the fact is that she can try to heal Ardo if you find a special potion that is stored by a terrible demon in the depths of the cave, which you will have access to. Go there, but be prepared for a serious confrontation.
Chapter Three - Demon's Cave
At the entrance to the cave you will be met by a magician who will ask you to find for him the magical seals contained in this cave. He himself does not want to go there, so he is ready to pay for each of the seals found. It’s worth mentioning right away that if you have enough gold, you don’t have to worry about this old man, he will pay no more than ten gold coins for each of the five seals, so that the benefit will be small. With it, you find yourself inside a cave, where a group of Amazons is waiting for you, who was also hired by a magician to search for seals. You don’t even have to try to convince them to join forces or just go their separate ways - they are determined to eliminate their competitors. Therefore, deal with the Amazons and go in search of five seals. When you find yourself in a room with a pentagram on the floor - check the character’s window. Make sure that you have enough potions and other necessary items, after which you can use magic seals - you can activate them all together to get the maximum advantage, or you can choose a couple of pieces. As mentioned earlier, the magician will not give much for these seals, so you can safely use them against the demon. Defeating him, you will receive a potion with which you need to return to the Queen of the Elves. Now she can heal Ardo, from whom you can find out that he is the keeper of the royal relics, and the crown was kidnapped by a villain who went to Hammerberg. Go there, because that’s where the fourth chapter of the game will be.
Fourth Chapter - Hammerberg
In this city you have to spend a lot of time, since there are a large number of both plot and side tasks, and many of them will be quite simple. But their number just rolls over, so you have to be patient. Here you will find the elf queen's sister, from whom the dragon stole a harp. The task is one of the most difficult in the game, but at the same time a side one, so you can easily refuse it. But still, such an epic battle happens once in a lifetime, so if you get tired of Hammerberg with uniform tasks at some point, you can test your strength. The choice of characters for this quest must be carried out especially carefully. The most important thing is that Forgram goes with you, and you have a dragon hammer for him. This weapon deals maximum damage to the dragon, so dealing with the monster will be much easier. As a result, after completing all the story quests, you should be in the dwarf dungeon, where again you will have a hard time. But when you defeat all opponents, and also meet with Mora, whom Ardo gave a tip to you, you will have access to the final location - the castle of the evil baron.
Final battle
Once in the location with the castle, you will need to get into it. To do this, you need to kill the head of the port and take the key to the secret dungeon from him. Through it you have to get into the castle, where you will find a series of small quests. As a result, you can get into the main hall of the castle, where all the important persons of the kingdom are present. Come to the lady in red - this is the wife of the baron, but the baron himself is not. How to get to it? Ask his wife about all the guests, and then tell the guests what she said about them. This will provoke the appearance of a baron, which will lure you into a trap. There you have to fight with a very strong magician, a battle with which can drag on even for an entire hour. But when you win, the storyline will be finished, and you will be able to travel freely throughout the game world.
