Drakan: The Ancients' Gates (Sony) - Perry's Rescue

Last modified on April 21st, 2003

An entrance to the Wartok Base is located just beyond down below. Have Arokh land nearby and send her into the water and diagonally across to land within the cave, where there're two barrels. Smash them and continue north. Take out the Shield Wartok, who's there to greet her. Have her head northwest over to the locked gate and press 'L1' to unlock it and enter. Have her head west and two Shield Wartoks will head up the incline to attack. Proceed and take out a third Shield Wartok, who gives up 186 gold and a Health Elixir. When she reaches the first room, use Impale to take out the two Wartoks. Head northwest and tread lightly to sneak up on the Wartok peering through the barred window. Get 189 gold from the chest on the right, and 41 from the one on the left. Smash the three nearby barrels for an Emerald (130 gold) and a Health Elixir. Head south and have her jump up on the crates to open the chest for 126 gold. When she comes to a ledge, have her keep to the left and target the two Grull, one of which is a Fire Grull and take them out with Impale. One of the Grull will drop 165 gold. Jump down onto the upper crates, then down onto the next lower level. Four Grull are milling about down below. Target each one from above and take them out with Impale. Two more are to be found to the northwest. Take them out with a melee attack. Two more guard the incline. Deal with them one at a time and start off with Impale and switch to her melee weapon if they make it to near her. There're two Emeralds (260 gold) in the two barrels by the fence. Continue northwest toward the area with the lift and take out two Grull and a Wartok. One of the Grull will drop 121 gold. Smash the three barrels over on the south side behind the crates for 494 gold. Smash the barrels over on the north wall for 116 gold and take out the nearby Grull. Finally there's a chest over in the east corner also behind some crates, which donates 105 gold.

Head over to the lift and save your game. Then press 'L1' to bring it down and take a ride up to the top. Send her southeast and as soon as you hear the rock start rolling down the incline, turn her around and high tail it back down a safe distance. She can resume her forward progress after the explosion. Take out the two Wartoks, who'll come down to attack and pick up any treasure they leave behind. A third one is waiting above, who'll yield 137 gold or a Health Elixir. Two more straight ahead down below give up 192 - 196 gold. There's 69 - 130 gold in a chest on the crates to the south. Head noiselessly north toward the barred window and another Wartok with his back to her. Back stab him and then finish him off. Get 268 gold from the chest on the left and 119 gold from the chest on the right. Head back and pick up a Health Elixir from the three barrels on the right. Continue past the crates to the southeast and down the incline to take out the Fire Wartok, who begins to attack as soon as she crests the hill. There's a second Fire Wartok, who begins to fire at her as she draws near. Drop over the ledge onto the crates below. More music and enemies come a running. Have her drop down onto the lowest three crates and target the group of Grull with Impale and take five of them out without a scratch in return. Drop to the ground and pick up 226 gold from the corpses.

Head northeast and four Wartoks will be waiting to greet her. Cast Impale against some or all of them. Use her melee weapon to finish the others off. Head west and find 75 gold in the second set of barrels, then loop around back and head north through the tunnel entrance. Two normally sized Grull and a small one plus a Wartok (77 gold) are guarding the lift beyond. Have her push the lever to bring it down. Another small Grull will make a pest of himself as she passes the lift, but gives up 110 gold when dispatched. Get 146 gold from the three barrels beyond. Head northeast toward the crates behind the lift and get 88 gold from the chest back in the recessed area behind. Now head south over to the crates near where she came in and find 180 gold in the three barrels behind. Head back to the lift and ride it up. Head northeast and then turn southeast and continue up the incline. Note the line of exploding barrels and the rock rolling down from above and beat a hasty retreat. Three Wartoks await at the top of the hill and will yield a Health Elixir when destroyed. Continue around south and the two barrels on the right will probably be empty. She can head up the incline to the southeast and check out the two barrels behind the crates, but they're probably empty as well. Have her come back down and climb up the stack of boxes and take a running jump to hang onto the ledge. Another empty barrel is over on the right. The door to the south is locked for now. There're another two barrels to the west with 75 gold within. Continue back around to the northwest and grab 27 gold from the lone barrel. Two Fire Wartoks attack as she runs, and will give up 0 - 196 gold when taken out.

As she continues northeast, Rynn will mention that it "Looks like someone's up there" and you can see a cage suspended high above. Head north past the ramp on the left and check out the barrels on each side. There're five, which are safely breakable, but they're all probably empty. Next head up the ramp, then loop around to the south toward the reel containing the cable, that's holding the cage up. Sneak over to the table and take out the Wartok, then pick up the Prison Key, Full Mana, and Life Potions from the cutting block. Have her jump up on the series of crates, stacked near the north wall, to reach the ledge above. Get the Invulnerability Potion from the nearby chest, and 100 - 197 gold in the four barrels at the end of the ledge to the southeast. Have her walk over to the second altar and press the 'L1' button to place the Odd Stone onto it. Move carefully west past the altar and jump over the gap to reach an Invisibility Potion. Have her return west to the ledge on the left near the stacked crates. Line her up with the uppermost crate and have her walk off the ledge onto it. From there jump back down on them (she'll only take a little damage if she falls off the upper crate), then return to the reel and push the lever to lower the cage and release Perry.

Have her walk over to and chat with Perry. He tells her that ghosts enabled traps in the area down below and some of the Wartoks were killed. They blamed Perry and locked him up. He gives her the Lower Ruins Key and she acquires the "Use Perry's key to enter the lower ruins." primary quest, and the "Return Perry home safely." optional quest. Have her lead Perry northeast around to the south and back down the ramp and southeast towards the door, that was earlier locked. Stop every once in a while to ensure he's still following, then continue. Unlock the door using the Prison Key, and take on the Wartok and Grull, barring the way. Get 108 - 315 gold from the three barrels on the left. Continue west up the ramp and raise the gate barring the way. Have her speak to him before leaving the cave. Two Shield Wartoks give up 0 - 300 gold just outside. Position Rynn on the other side of Arokh so that he's between the approaching enemies and her, and he should be able to take both of them out without any assistance from Rynn. Have her mount Arokh and fly across the bridge and take out the two Wartoks across the way. Perry should follow across the bridge on his own. Return and help him out if he doesn't. Head over northwest towards the cave entrance and take out two more Wartoks. Have her dismount and pick up 0 - 100 gold on her way in. Perry says "Yeah, right through there." A Grull will greet them as they start uphill. Head for the campfire, where a Grull and Axe Wartok will attack from the north, followed by four Scavengers, which she should have no problem with, as they head up the hill. Exit the cave and they'll be able to see the windmill near the farm in the distance. He says "It's not far now!" as they step outside. Three more Scavengers lurk outside. Head northwest into the next cave. Four more Scavengers attack in here before they reach the end of the tunnel. There may or may not be three barrels to the east with an Emerald (130 gold) and a sack of 141 gold within. Exit and cross the final bridge, and have her speak to Perry's dad Andre, who's now standing near the farmhouse to receive 8,000 gold and the Tempest sword, after the happy reunion. Have her visit Draco, the blacksmith in the house to the north and refurbish her weapons and armor and maybe buy a few potions.
