hello there.
somehow i managed to jump over the mountains past the stone guardians blocking the way to the maze in the forbidden lands... and that quite to early in the game i learned now!
the 2nd relict i gathered was the ring of protection!
I shot the witch in the sanctum with an stupid bow from an window above - took me half an hour! She didn`t teleported and healed that way though.
i was teleported by Emmindor to battle the weird king and his army. done.
after that the moonbridges wouldn`t teleport me to another place then Talendor anymore!
So i cant get into the vale of ruin at all!
Stuck. But i wan`t play that whole stuff again. Until now i got all relicts but the one from the vale of ruin. All done by foot!
If i go to Galdryn`s hideout i get beamed to the demon world nevertheless.
And that without all relicts been found?! As soon as the ring is placed on the pedestal the bad guy appears and i`m moved to the demonland.

SO, does somebody know the in the Walktrough mentioned Jumpingpassage into the vale of ruin?

see no other clue to play the whole game.

thanks for any hints.

don't really need all the relics

because if you get the ring early in the game you will eventually get teleported to the demon realm and when you get to the end of the demon realm all the relics will be dropped and you can pick them all up when you fight the last guy. on a side note i found from mountain hoping you can walk to the demon realm so technically if you have enough health potions you can probably defeat the game at lvl 1. so in order to fix your problem you will either have to start over or restart from a save point before you got the ring. if you have a save point before the ring but you are still in the maze you can mountain walk out. it took me awhile but i found a spot to get out. from the exit of the maze go sw in the little "cuddlesack" you will find a campfire, and from there do to the south mountain and try getting up there i was able to get up in that general area im not sure of the exact spot but i got out there.

All is not lost! You can get into the vale of ruin! There is a campfire south of the treehouse area in the elven lands(just south of Lake Lohr). Head west from that campfire. There is a way to get up from there. Lol. I've done the same thing(on purpose). I like to make my characters possess all classes and have maxed stats(from ring)before doing trial of elders. If you head due east in the very beginning of the game there is a mountain pass area to skip sewers.
There is also a mountain pass south of devils marsh. Look for the point on the mountain terrain that has a slight "bump" in its shape. Its around there. Doing the game this way can be fun...with a lot more walking involved. If you "install" any of the relics in the chamber of secrets make sure you do the ring last! Otherwise, it shoots you to the end part early. Unless you want to skip all that and go for glory!!! Haha.

Thanks for the hints!!
Unfortunatly i have no savegame before i collect the ring, plus i have walked very far since then... so starting the whole thing over won`t do.
But that "up the mountain jumping" gameplay is really fun you are right there!!
I will look for the described spot!
I allready tried out the whole westridge of the forbidden lands and the Sagathian Moors - but no way up.
Someplaces almost, but everytime on jumping step short of the top. Also allways monster spawning if you think you will do it! One hit and you down in the valley again! LOL!
I wonder if there is an way out of the vale of ruin too, otherwise i`ll be stuck in there again...
I try to find that spot you mentioned to get in. But wich direction do i have to go once i`m up on the westridge under Lake Lohr? The Ridge isn`t connected to the ridge surrounding the vale of ruin on the worldmap?!
If i don`t find it, i will post again here.

Many thanks for the hints again!

Do you have the dungeon lords map? If you do not not look in the dungeon lords folder titled maps under world map. Either way, look at the vale of ruin, see the alcove north of the vale in the elven lands? There should be a campfire with a chest there. Head west from the campfire. Its very easy, I go up that way all the time.

Thanks Wraithawk!
Found the spot right away after your post!
Works great there, really! Lots of big monters spawning up on the ridge (Firedragons !!??) - brought me up 2levels very fast in that area!
But how do you get out of the vale?
I thought of using the moonbridge to Talendor (last possible destination that works but haven`t tried it yet), but is there an mountainpass to the outside too ? And if yes, where?

big big THX for the hint again!

There is one I believe in the northeast alcove. I've always used the moonbridge. Happy trails.

i`ve used the moonbridge too.
a little info where all the spots to get up the ridges i know so far on the map.

I got an other question concerning the advance optoins of the classes, perhaps somebody knows:
When starting the game i choosed elf and adept. I completed the Paladain quest but don`t can proceed to the crusader quest (no Infos at temple ?) or neither the Warlord quest in follow of my completed Lord quest.
I`m confused there a bit. Is there a limit of quests or advances you can make in the game? Perhaps someone knows?

so long - bee
