All About "Albion" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Rainer Hofstedt

Rainer Hofstedt is one of two government officials tasked to supervise the trip, which is supposed to be a routine mining and extracting of a desert world. The presence of government officials is required after previous expeditions found intelligent life beings on other planets known as Hoika and Joshi, and there was a bad incident on one of these planets involving a transmission of a disease wiping out one of these colonies. Alice Takashi works in storage, Anne Dorbeck is the ship's chef (of sorts), and Captain Brandt's profession is obvious.

Answer: A week's pay

He claims he would give up a week's pay just to experience this moment, being able to see a planet close up. However, soon after the men find signs of life on the planet, the communication systems start failing and the shuttle's servos explode. The loss of power causes the shuttle to fall in the planet's gravitational field, and thus the story of a life filled planet really begins...

Answer: Skrinn 1 x 1

Skrinn 1 is the weakest enemy in the game, with a measly 7 LP. They are pack animals and usually appear in larger groups, except not so much early on. The Krondir 1 is a little more dangerous, but easy to gun down with the Toronto pistol. The cellar is a good starting place and has some useful items, including standard weapons and armour, potions, rations, a clock (Very useful!), and a Fire Ring, which shoots a weak fireball. Note that if Wrinn's request was refused, this mini dungeon cannot be visited.

Answer: Nelly

The party is trying to find a way through the mountain pass to reach the Toronto. Nelly knows the way, so in addition to claiming she's innocent (not very convincingly) and saying she'll help out and the party can choose to set her free. Back at Umajo, the party will be 'greeted' by a little girl at the entrance whose mother got murdered by Nelly. Upon finding Nelly, she'll call the party idiots for believing her but will hold her part of the deal. Sadly, she gets lynched by townsfolk before the arranged hour.

The actual game intended way through is far quicker and easier, so this is only for story enrichment.

Answer: There isn't one

The magic talent stat is a dud. One might theorise it as ability to ever cast spells, however this is false. One of the goddess flowers at the Enlightened Ones' Island gives 1 magic talent if stepped on for long enough. Since Drirr can never learn magic, even Iskai magic, but has the space to gain many magic talent points, the stat is useless.

Answer: Gratogel

The only unique and named enemies are: Bradir in Jirinaar (Nakiridaani), Argim in the old Former building (Nakiridaani), Nodd in Kontos's house (Maini), Kontos in the Srimalinar Shrine (Maini), the Beastmaster at Khamulon (Maini), Kamulos at Khamulon (Maini), and the AI at Toronto (Umajo-Kenta).

The only truly mandatory fights of these are at Khamulon, and the AI is a scripted battle you can't lose (or win) either way.

Answer: Fire traps

Khamulon is full of fiery fun in the 3D areas. Examples include; a flame which follows you around and unlocks a door if extinguished on a floor tile, fireballs which must be outrun (or one will be burnt), a moving flame which follows the party around, a fire which moves around on a grid of grey tiles, lighting the route which must be followed at a similar point later on, and a point where it is necessary to stand on a tile, slowly extinguishing the fire, then moving aside right at the last minute, to avoid a fireball.

There's also a room with hot coals on the floor. Oh, and some of the magicians cast fire magic.

Answer: Strength amulet

The strength amulet is so coined to promote masculine fertility. In other words, the king and his wife want a baby and haven't had much success, hence why the task is suited to strangers. For doing this "small task" (ha!), passage to Maini will become available.

Answer: They will run when outnumbered

Assuming one has a party of six, the initial group of four on the entrance level of the caves will just run straight away. Strategising your fights to lower their numbers to five and let the rest run away (full xp will still be earned) is a good way of dealing with the cowardly cubs. There's plenty of good treasure here, but it's easy to get lost or miss rooms.

Answer: Drirr

Drirr, being an Iskai, is naturally impatient and impulsive. Here, he takes responsibility by offering to run through the electrical fields. He won't die permanently, and it's better than running through one by one with the whole party. However, there is a shortcut - Drinno is big on small buttons, and one near the cave in entrance will cut through this.

Answer: Plague 1

Plague 1 is only met at Kenget, and can inflict status effects, but has a low LP and defence. Kizz 1 has a moderately damaging single attack, and is slightly more magic resistant than the average enemy. Rinrii 1 is a coward which runs away when ANY other enemy (not necessarily even a Rinrii) dies. Brogg 1 throws stones which deal very varied damage. On another note, how does Kontos do any research with this infestation?

Answer: When Kariah's friend runs into you at Kounos

When visiting Kounos after getting the Arrim prompt, a friend of Kariah will warn you to go straight back to Beloveno and see her. Talking to Darios, even though he's only steps away, will make it too late. Kariah warns the party of the assassination plot, although she claims she cannot be certain as this was only told to her during her 'services' in her job.

The rumour turns out to be true, and telling Herras in time will net you some gems and a good slice of gold. As an aside, showing Kontos the cellar part of the document is possible, and rather than questioning how you got it in the first place, just says it's useless without the other half, amusingly.

Answer: Fungification

Fungification can be bought at level 15. It does damage, and can 'rot' weakened enemies away. Thorn Snare is level 12, and prevents movement indefinitely, and works against pretty much everything, which is a bit cheap, but viable. Hurry is level 10 and doubles attacks for some turns, for whoever it's cast on. Frost Avalanche, level 9, is great at slowing large groups down by freezing them into place.

Answer: SEED

The SEED is based on Aminebona's principles as a weapon against the self-maintaining and growing Toronto, which is said to represent itself as a part of Animenkna's principles. Animebona and Animenkna are sister/brother and opposed. Animebona is likened to a spiritual form of living, whereas Animenkna believes in only logic and categorisation, which is used to explain why people on Albion can use magic, and people on Earth can not.

The SEED is used at the end of the game, where the fusion reactor's high output causes a giant plant to grow and pierce the metal of the Toronto, making it useless.

Answer: 16

Assuming a party is comprised of Tom, Drirr, Sira, Mellthas, Khunag and Harriet (or Siobhan in place of Drirr or Khunag). Also assuming the first revisit to the Toronto has taken place, the following other people will be on the isle: Rainer (leaves your party to study), Joe (stays here after Toronto revisit), Nemos (head Druid of Arjano), Sebai-Giz Frill (Iskai scholar), Irkith (Iskai scholar), Birrh (healer), Drannagh (magic trainer), Althea (scroll vendor), Llanair (servant), and Mairi (bard).
