Question 3 of 15

What does the Head of Vengarl want the player to do with his body? Hint

Question 8 of 15

Question 9 of 15
9. In addition to the Shrine of Winter, there's also a large gate guarded by a Syan Warrior leading into Aldia's Keep. Much like the Shrine of Winter, however, this area will almost definitely be inaccessible the first time the player finds it. What will the player need to do to advance into Aldia's' Keep? Hint


Question 10 of 15

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. There are a motherlode of important NPCs to appear in this area. The first one available is Manscorpion Tark. Without a very specific ring, however, he can only communicate with the player using incoherent grunting in a language they won't be able to understand. What ring will they need to properly speak with him?

Answer: Ring of Whsipers

The Ring of Whispers' one specific function is speaking with Manscorpion Tark. With it equipped, he will speak whatever language the player is playing the game with, and he will be able to speak clearly.
2. It turns out Manscorpion Tark knows this area's boss very, very well. What is his relation to the area boss?

Answer: He is betrothed to them

Scorpionness Najka and Manscorpion Tark were betrothed, as he will straight up tell the player this. Najka has been driven mad and he seeks to put her out of her misery, but has been unable to do so. The dialogue will end with him asking the player to help by defeating her.
3. Another important NPC to appear in the Shaded Woods does so in quite a peculiar way- he is just a disembodied head, without the rest of his body. Vengarl is a merchant with some nice selections in his shop, and he can offer the player more if they fulfill his request, which has to do with the rest of his body. What does the Head of Vengarl want the player to do with his body?

Answer: Kill it

Vengarl's body can be found by using a Fragrant Branch of Yore on a petrified statue in the sand pit Manscorpion Tark is met at. After doing so, simply advancing for about five seconds will cause the player to spot the enormous body in plain view. The body is very aggressive and hits quite hard, but it can also be parried, backstabbed, and most of its attacks can be dodged by simply strafing.
4. Once the Head of Vengarl's 'quest' of sorts regarding his body has been completed, his shop will now expand. Which of the following is one of the new pieces of gear he will sell?

Answer: Red Rust Shield

The entirety of the Red Rust set- the Scimitar, Sword, Shield and armor, will be available. As it happens, these are the same weapons and armor worn by Vengarl's body.
5. A crucially important NPC, Weaponsmith Ornifex, can be found, locked away and trapped behind a door guarded by several Basilisks. Killing these Basilisks is simple enough, but accessing the door Ornifex is being held captive in is not. Where is the key needed to open this door?

Answer: Shaded Woods

By simply returning to the bonfire, a petrified statue will be within a line of sight off to the East of the bonfire. By going over to it and unfreezing it using a Fragrant Branch of Yore, the player can revive this Lion Clan Warrior, kill the warrior, and it will drop the Fang Key that will free Ornifex.
6. When freeing Weaponsmith Ornifex, she tells the player to come and visit her home for a reward. Where is Ornifex's home?

Answer: Brightstone Cave Tseldora

The reward in question is one free conversion of boss soul into gear. They typically cost souls to convert into gear.
7. Like many areas, there is a covenant to be found and joined here. Which one is it?

Answer: Pilgrims of the Dark

Simply speaking with Darkdiver Grandahl at all three of the places he is found will allow him to welcome the player into this covenant. This covenant is tied to the Darklurker boss fight, and joining it is thereby compulsory to encountering it.
8. The Shrine of Winter can be found here, and it would seem a lot of content entailed within the game can be found just beyond its walls. However, at this stage of the game, it is almost impossible to open it up, as one of two specific conditions must be met. Which of the following is one of them?

Answer: Kill all four Old Great Ones

Either all four Old Great Ones must be slain, or the player must accumulate a Soul Memory of (J x 1,000,000) with the J equaling the Journey number they're on. If the player is on Journey 1, this means their Soul Memory must be one million or more to open the Shrine of Winter. If the player is on Journey 7, then they'll have had to have gained seven million Soul Memory since starting Journey 7 for it to open.
9. In addition to the Shrine of Winter, there's also a large gate guarded by a Syan Warrior leading into Aldia's Keep. Much like the Shrine of Winter, however, this area will almost definitely be inaccessible the first time the player finds it. What will the player need to do to advance into Aldia's' Keep?

Answer: Equip the King's Ring

This ring is found at the tail end of the Undead Crypt. The player must defeat Velstadt, the Royal Aegis in order to access it, and this is a pretty late game boss. With it equipped, the Syan Warrior will be docile and the gate to Aldia's Keep will simply open on its own as the player approaches.
10. Manscorpion Tark can be up in arms, ready to assist with the boss, but he isn't the only friend the player can call upon. However, for the player to earn another NPC summon, they'll need to do a bit of grinding first. What must they do?

Answer: Kill all ghost enemies once

There are seven different ghosts in the area. Once they've all been slain once, this will do. It doesn't even have to be all in one go, either, simply cumulatively killing each enemy once will suffice.
11. A fan favorite, which NPC summon can join Manscorpion Tark to help the player?

Answer: Bradley of the Old Guard

Bradley is a top notch healer who even packs Sunlight Blade, a late game Miracle, to boot. He appears as a Shade, so the player will need to quickly head for the boss room if they've summoned him for help with it.
12. Who is the boss of the Shaded Woods?

Answer: Scorpioness Najka

Despite her fairly meager looks, Najka can put up quite the fight. Her stinger attack is devastating, as it cannot be blocked by a shield and inflicts Toxic if it connects. She can also cast Soul Spear and Homing Soulmass, which do a lot of damage. Finally, after reaching half health, she can occasionally use an attack involving her digging deep underground, burrowing towards her target, then emerging with a powerful stabbing attack with her spear.
13. Inside the boss room is an item drop on the top of a tree. This tree is inaccessible to the player unless the boss fight is active. During the fight, what does the player need to do to get this item?

Answer: Get hit by the boss in a certain way

By getting hit by Najka's dig attack at just the right angle, it will send the character flying upward, and it may allow them to grab the item. This attack does quite a bit of damage, however, so the player will need to use healing items if they fail and want to try again. The item in question, however, is just a Flame Butterfly, which is extremely anticlimactic.
14. Once the boss has been slain, the player can return to Manscorpion Tark, and he will reward them for doing the deed, whether he was summoned to help or not. What will he reward the player with?

Answer: Fragrant Branch of Yore

If the player has not done so already, they can easily walk for about five seconds and find a use for this item in dealing with Vengarl's body just ahead from the nearby petrified statue. They could also walk about thirty seconds and use this item to eventually free Weaponsmith Ornifex.

It should be noted that Tark does not drop this item if he is killed, whether before or after giving it to the player, so defeating Najka and then talking to him is the only way to get this item from him.
15. The player can take the boss soul earned from the Shaded Woods to Straid of Olaphis and turn it into a sorcery. What sorcery is this?

Answer: Soul Shower

Soul Shower spawns a cluster of souls a moderate distance in the air. They will slowly disassemble and then travel towards their target. Good luck ever actually hitting someone with this. At least the description of the spell, telling the player it doesn't work everywhere, was accurate.
