Drakan: The Ancients' Gates (Sony) - The Inquisitor

Return to Ravenshold

Leave the monastery and fly out of the valley following the wall on the left. Return to the magic shop where you can get the "Slay the Necromancer Khossa Vole and recover the Gravestone. See Jade when complete." quest from the sorceress. Khossa Vole can be found by travelling northwest from there. However for now head to the northeast and fly along the valley. Two or three Blackwing Dragons can be seen flying about in the distance. Remember to press 'R2' to target them and take them out. Once one of them starts firing on Rynn and Arokh, it'll follow them. If it becomes necessary to retreat, head for the city if you need to replenish their health as it's the safest place to do so. There're enemy encampments at both ends of the crescent shaped area. Circle each of them and destroy everything within sight while avoiding the fire balls being occassionally tossed their way. Gt 84 gold from the two barrels on the north end, but generally nothing on the other end. Eventually continue to the east and they'll encounter three Explosive Crossbows, which are anti-dragon artillery operated by the Grull. Lock on to each one, circle, and fire away. The one on the left is the hardest to hit. Land and save your game. There's a bridge, which crosses a river, with a waterfall just beyond and below. Fly toward the path on the other side of the bridge and take out the Wartok standing near the bridge. Next continue flying along the path, past the crates, and scorch the Wartok standing just inside the cave entrance. It may leave 31 gold behind. Land next to the pile of crates and smash the three barrels, which may or may not contain some gold. There's also a chest on the other side of the crates, which contains 13 gold. There's a closed gate a bit farther in, which'll be open when they return here from Ravenshold.

Have them fly back along the river to the northeast. There's a cave just beyond the grassy area at the point where the river divides. Land nearby and have her dismount and save your game status. Send her into the cave to confront the enormous bird within. Use an Ice Blast spell against and it won't even move. About six blasts should do the trick, although she'll have to wait for her mana to replenish after about four. It'll leave a Golden Egg behind, which is worth 1,000 in gold. Take off, turn west, and fly until they see a campfire. Use Arokh's firey breath to take out the two Wartoks resting there, and the Fire Grull to the west near the cave entrance, then pick up 83 gold from the first two.

Fly back to town and repair weapons and restock as necessary. Fly off the waterfall and land below, then enter the cave under the waterfall. Save your game when prompted, then send her on into the Inquisitor's Lair. A Fire Wartok awaits at the end of a long, passage. Have her move in until he begins to shoot at her, then run toward him, utilizing a zig zag course. When she gets close enough to strike him, have her do so. Break the barrels for 85 - 88 gold and get Health Elixir and a Full Mana potion, plus 73 gold from the chests in the east corner. Note the dormant transport pedestal to the east, where she'll return after defeating the Inquisitor. Take the path downward to the north. A second Fire Wartok sometimes awaits, with a Wartok armed with an axe and shield (41 gold) accompanying him. There's another Fire Wartok and a Shield Wartok just down the hill. Be careful that she does not fall over the ledge to the east, or she'll run into more enemies than she may want to contend with and have no place to retreat to. She'll encounter the third Fire Wartok (23 gold) just a little bit farther on. A fourth Fire Wartok (10 gold) and another Shield Wartok (24 gold and a Health Elixir) may be guarding the cave entrance.

Enter the cave and take out the Wartok just inside for 14 gold. Avoid smashing the two exploding barrels on the left, but break open the other two for 100 gold. There's another Wartok (23 gold) and a Fire Wartok (a Full Mana potion plus 19 gold) guarding two chests containing, a Health Elixir, and 61 gold. Have her collect the Steel Club sitting next to the crates. Next pull the lever at the end of the area to open a rotating drawbridge below, allowing later further passage. Return to the cave entrance and then turn left and head down the hill. Two Axe Wartoks rush out to greet her. Two Fire Wartoks and two more Wartoks lurk just around the corner. Take them all out and collect 68 gold from their carcasses, then enter the area with the drawbridge and save your game.

Two more Shield Wartoks (18 gold) await her on the circular path down. Another two Shield Wartoks (44 gold) await her at the entrance to ruins on the right. Bypass the first set of exploding barrels on the right. Smash the next set of barrels and get a Full Mana and Health Elixir potions, and 53 gold from the barrels and 144 gold from the chests. Slay the Fire Wartok (34 gold) then get another 144 from the three chests nearby. Get an Iron Hammer plus 189 gold from the three barrels behind it. You may find that her inventory is full or about to be full at this point. Weapons and armor may also need refurbishing. If it is or they do, it would be a good idea to return to the entrance and ride Arokh back into town to lighten the load and repair things. Supposedly there's a Crown of Thorns club up on top of one of the walls in these ruins. Head back out and go past the bridge towards the opposite set of ruins. Take out the Fire Wartok (25 gold) guarding the entrance, then either go through the door or sneak around the wall and ambush the Fire Wartok (19 gold) at the rear. Get 109 gold and a Full Mana potion from the two chests then grab the Invulnerability Potion from the pile of stones to the south. Bust the two nearby barrels for another 150 gold, then return to the entrance to the drawbridge and save your game as the Inquisitor awaits her.

Two Fire Wartoks are lurking past the other side of the bridge. They'll begin firing at her as she crosses the halfway point of the bridge. Try sniping at the Fire Wartoks from behind the two braziers. It may take a lot of arrows and she may only weaken them and they're too far away for an 'R2' enabled lock on. When ready, head in after them employing a zig zag pattern and finish them off with the Flamestrike sword and pick up 77 gold. Enter either the left or right stone passage and follow it around and then down to the Lair of the Inquisitor. When she nears the end of her cover, have her drink an Invulnerability Potion. Then have her run in and do battle with him. Watch out for the column he may knock over near the entrance, as she can be trapped beneath it. The invulnerability effect should run out sometime after he's destroyed. Once he's gone, pass by the treasure chests to receive 242 gold and she can speak to the nearby villager for his thanks if you wish. Head to the rear of the room and step on the teleporter to return to near the entrance, then head out. Have her get on Arokh and return to the tavern to receive her reward of 3,000 gold pieces for killing the Inquisitor.
