"Quest For Glory: Shadows of Darkness" Part 2 Quiz

Answer: Rehydration Solution

You should visit Dr. Cranium every day for a free healing pill and poison cure pill. Also you get new dialogue with him every day that you visit him up to a certain point. The third day that you visit him, he will offer you some rehydration solution (water) if you bring him some grue goo from near the dark one's cave and if you have the manual. You can use this solution to rehydrate a dried up creature in the monastery.

Answer: Punny Bones

Punny Bones is a gnome jester. Because of his curse, his jokes are mixed up. He's in Mordavia to try to remove the curse, but he can't find who he's looking for. If you can find the one who cursed him and make a deal with that one, Punny Bones will repay the favor by telling you the Ultimate Joke, which you will need to beat the game. He'll also do a second comedy act, which gets a much better response from the audience and the narrator, who promptly repeats Ali Chica's "Get down from a duck" joke from "Quest For Glory 2". Personally, I don't think he's funny even after you help him.

The game never explains how he came to Mordavia or how he left. No one can get in or out of Mordavia except by magic. He does say that he will go to Silmaria once he leaves Mordavia, but when you go there in "Quest For Glory 5," Punny Bones isn't there. You have to offer the ring to Gnome Ann to learn why.

Answer: Werewolf

On day 5, Igor goes missing. The townspeople search all over town to find him. They can't find him in town, so they leave town. There they find a gypsy. The townspeople believe gypsies are werewolves, so they conclude the gypsy ate Igor. They arrest him and throw him in jail.

In reality, Igor was carving a tombstone. The tombstone fell on a grave, trapping Igor inside. It is up to the hero to save the gypsy and Igor or else.

Answer: Yes

Believe it or not, it is possible to win the game without rescuing Igor. The trick is to avoid the screen in front of the Burgomeister's house during the day. If you wait until day 7, Igor will be dead. You will be able to take the crypt key from his body.

However, he will be magically alive at the end of the game if you make it there, which suggests the Coles did not intend it to be possible to beat this game without saving Igor. The Coles forgot that the Burgomeister needs to sleep.

Answer: No

Whether you do it by going straight to the cemetery and rescuing Igor, or whether you do it by waiting until nightfall, then breaking into the Burgomeister's home and setting Davy free, you have to rescue him. You have to talk to the gypsies in order to beat this game, and they won't talk to you until you rescue Davy.

At a minimum, the game won't let you get Erana's staff until you talk to the gypsies about it and you can't make it to the endgame without Erana's staff.

Answer: Magda

All four of these characters have two voices in the series. Three of them have their "Quest For Glory 4" voice and their "Quest For Glory 5" voice. One of them has two voices within "Quest For Glory 4." That one is Magda.

Magda is the leader of the gypsy camp. Most of her lines are voiced by a professional voice actress named Joan Gerber. However, some of her lines are voiced by the lead designer of the series, Lori Ann Cole. At the time of this writing I do not know why Magda has two different voices.

Answer: Getting some corn

There is plenty of corn just outside of town. The townspeople do not claim to own the corn. Davy went just outside of town to get some corn. He figured he'd be perfectly safe since most people never leave town, and the people that do leave town are usually not a threat to the gypsies. He had no idea Igor was missing or that the townspeople feared the gypsies so much.

Answer: Quest For Glory 3

The main villain in "Quest For Glory 3" is the demon wizard and he does not appear in "Quest For Glory 4." This is because he is either killed or pushed back into his own world. It's also because "Shadows of Darkness" was originally going to be "Quest For Glory 3"."Wages of War" was not part of the "Quest For Glory" story when then story was first written. "Wages of War" was written some time after "Trial By Fire" was finished. Hence, none of the characters from "Quest For Glory 3" appear in "Quest For Glory 4".

Ad Avis, the main villain of "Quest For Glory 2", is also the main villain of "Quest For Glory 4". "Quest For Glory" followed in the footsteps of "Space Quest" by bringing back the villain who you thought you killed in the second game. Actually, you did kill him, but now he's a vampire.

Baba Yaga, the main villain of "Quest For Glory 1", is not really a villain in "Quest For Glory 4". As a matter of fact she isn't exactly evil after all. How she acts towards you depends on how you act towards her. If you help her, she will help you. If you leave her alone, she will leave you alone. Only when people act against her does she ever do anything bad. Hence, the one who was truly responsible for all the problems in Spielburg was the baron. If he'd just left Baba Yaga alone, everything would've been fine. Of course then "Quest For Glory" would obviously have been very different if the hero didn't need to go to Spielburg. Mordavia may have plenty of problems, but Baba Yaga is not one of them. Baba Yaga will actually help the hero if he brings her some food, and the hero needs to help to win the game. However, Baba Yaga can still kill the hero.

Answer: Katrina

Occasionally, you can meet Katrina at night just outside of town or just outside the castle. You can talk with her a little bit, and then she'll walk off. You can't gain any important information from these meetings with her. But you can get a healing potion from her if you are injured when you meet her. You can also get a spell from her if you have any magical ability.

The reason the Katrina music is the same as the Erana music is that these are both potential love interests for the hero. You can decide who you love in "Quest For Glory 5".

Answer: Dr. Cranium

If you ask Dr. Cranium about Nikolai, he will say that Nikolai is not as old as he looks. He aged badly because he lost his wife. Dr. Cranium believes that the reason Nikolai is upset about his wife is because she never brought Dr. Cranium the berries he needed for an experiment (this comment from Dr. Cranium always makes me laugh!). Anna had to leave town to get the berries, and she died on the way to the bush. Neither Nikolai nor Dr. Cranium ever knew that.

It is up to the hero to reunite Nikolai with his wife, even if that means getting Nikolai killed.

Answer: Toby

Bella got overly protective of Tanya once the rains swamped the area. Mordavia became quite a dangerous place and Bella didn't want her 8-year-old daughter in danger. So she would never let her go outside or make friends. This turned out to come back to bite them (literally in Tanya's case, figuratively in Bella's case).

There happened to be a vampire in the castle who always wanted a daughter. That was Katrina. Katrina sent Toby to Tanya for a friend. Toby brought Tanya a doll. Tanya loved both the doll and Toby.

Her parents never saw Toby but they did see the doll. They got quite scared. They never bought Tanya a doll, so they had no idea where it came from. Bella confiscated the doll. This made Tanya very sad. Toby took Tanya to the castle, where Katrina bit her and turned her into a vampire to make her forever young. Tanya never realized what happened to her, and she actually really liked Katrina. Katrina taught Tanya to read and write (which her parents never did) and she allowed her to have toys and to have Toby. Katrina made it possible for Tanya to fly in the air and dance which she really liked. Tanya does miss her parents though.

It is up to the hero to get Tanya home with a little help from the gypsies.

Answer: Goons

On the east side of the castle are two big goon guards guarding a dungeon. Their only purpose in the game is to give hints about the castle. The hero cannot fight them, as they are apparently tougher than demons. The hero isn't strong enough to fight goons until "Quest For Glory 5".

Answer: Ad Avis and Katrina

If you sleep at the inn on night 3 or night 4, you will hear the familiar female voice of Katrina, and an unfamiliar male voice. Well, the male voice will be unfamiliar to you because there probably will never be a version of "Quest For Glory 2" that has voice acting. The hero knows that male voice though, and you will find out soon enough.

You can hear Erasmus and Fenrus some nights at the inn too, but you aren't supposed to. They are trying to summon you into Silmaria for the next game, so if you hear them before the end of the game, that means you are taking too long to finish the game. However, fi you like those two characters, it may be worth taking the extra time.

You can also sometimes hear Yuri and Bella on later nights, but you won't hear them if you rescue Tanya as soon as possible in the game.

The Blue Domovoi will sometimes interrupt your sleep if you haven't done everything you need to do. The brown Domovoi will never interrupt your sleep. You'll only hear him speak after you help him, and then you'll never hear or see him again. The blue Domovoi says his friend now lives with the burgomeister.

Answer: Ad Avis

After you've helped Tanya and Punny Bones, you will find a note that says "Meet me at the castle gates tonight. We have so much we need to talk about." And it's signed "Katrina." You'll need to go to the castle gates that night, only to find out it was Ad Avis who wrote the letter and signed a fake name. You can talk with Ad Avis a little.

In the end you'll have to let yourself be caught by his necrotaurs.

Answer: False

The dark master is Katrina. Despite the ominous title and the fact that she's a vampire, she isn't evil. She doesn't intentionally harm people. She just thinks for herself and does what's best for her, regardless of the consequences to other people. Not only are you NOT supposed to kill her, if you do so, Ad Avis will kill you. The only thing stopping Ad Avis from killing you is Katrina. He can't harm the hero until Katrina either dies or tells him it's okay to kill the hero. Hence, killing Katrina will only turn Ad Avis loose.

The one you have to defeat is the dark ONE, not the dark master.
