her flames didn't burn me that bad. It takes a LONG time to wear her down but she'll fall eventually. If you got burned, backup slightly, heal, and repeat.
The stuff are in those chests, magically sealed. You can only open them after you've taken out the dragon queen. Grab the goodies and the townstone.
Continue and fight your way into next town, Hiroth.
11.7 TOWN OF HIROTH
Hiroth is a big town around this big lake. Again, the priestess can be found in the magick shoppe. The Hiroth townstone is already on the HUB-like devices north of town.
You can leave it there, and/or drop your other stones on the respective places. However, you're missing one... Townstone of Grescal.
Talk to the priestess, and she may ask you to return to
Elddim (for what reason, I have no idea, as I already have the townstone). Go, talk, return.
Talk to priestess in Hiroth again, and she'll tell you about
Grescal, out beyond the endless dunes.
The way to Grescal is through Castle Hiroth, infested by undead and other nasties. THEN you have to trek through the desert...
Once you're fought your way through the castle and located the exit, head STRAIGHT from that last sign that says
"Grescal 12", for MANY screens with nothing, and you'll finally see the town of Grescal.
11.8 TOWN OF GRESCAL
Once you're in town, look for the two large tents. One's the smithy, the other is the magick and potion shop.
Talk the to priestess in the magick and potion shoppe, and she'll explain Grescal townstone is lost in the temple ruins just northeast of the town.
Head northeast and head down into the ruins. Fight your way through. When you come into this huge room, clear it out, and look for a "brick" on the wall you can push. Push it, clear out the final enemies, and you'll locate the Grescal townstone, along with a couple chests of gold and rare items (pretty good ones too!).
Return to the priestess, who'll tell you to head back to
Hiroth. Use the HUB.
11.9 HIROTH AGAIN
You're back in town, so go see the Priestess, who'll tell you to try the townstones on that device. She seems to think it's a way to allow anyone to travel through the hub, not just Legionnaires and warriors.
Go and place all the stones (if you haven't done so) and you'll activate the elevator in the middle of the device.
Lightning start to flash and thunder rolled across the landscape... Not good, not good!
Go back to the priestess and talk to her. She'll explain that somehow you've opened a gateway and released a bunch of evil creatures. She has this "Tenstone" left from the days of the Tenth Legion. You must travel down into the catacombs, place this stone in their center of power, so the creatures will be stopped forever.
Click on the middle button of the center platform to go down. Clear the room, and you'll find this book called
"Trial of Gallus".
Again, fight your way through the catacombs, to the place where you can place the stone (it's surrounded by 4 sacrophagi). If you see "inner sanctum", you're there.
Drop the Tenstone on the platform. There's a door behind it that's locked, but it'll open once you place the Tenstone.
Inside are some pretty good items.
Once you've return to the priestess, she'll give you an
Utrean Helm for your troubles.
That's it for the multiplayer campaign! You can try to locate the Trial of Gallus (decipher the riddle in the book), or try to locate the lost pyramids that the Grescal townspeople have talked about...
12 Interesting Things
12.1 FURY'S EYE
Lots of people asked where is the thing. The answer is simple: it's in the Ice Caves, near the exit. Look for a set of stairs going down. There's a bunch of Trog warriors guarding the place, and some trick to open up the next level.
Basically, flip the switch (if there is one) near the door.
Then clean out the guards. Then drop an item on each of the "step plates", which should reveal a hidden door or the staircase. If there's a hidden door that opens, there's
ANOTHER step plate inside. Again, flip all switches you see, and leave something on the step plate to hold it down.
You have to go down like 3 or 4 levels. When you clear out the end, you see Fury's Eye over to the left of the room, and several chests.
You can pick up all the stuff when you come back up.
It's not particularly valuable, just a very rare item.
However, the armor and such you get from the chests can be pretty valuable.
(Oh, and it can be used as a key for the Chicken Level. See below)
12.2 DEEP BELOW CASTLE EHB...
In the cells around King Konreid, there's a room with a pushable brick. Push it, and the bottom grill drops down into the caves below... Ever wonder where that leads?
12.3 WHAT ABOUT THOSE PIXIES?
If you look around, you often see pixies flying around. They cannot be targeted, but they CAN be destroyed if bombs go off near them. Don't attack them though... They often guide you to interesting areas.
The purple pixie gives you mana. If you run into one, it'll say "the pixie gave you mana!" I'm not sure about the white ones. I can't see to make them do anything.
12.4 MORE PLAYING AFTER SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN
Even if you're finished the single-player campaign, it's not the end. Take your character to multiplayer by going to multiplayer, import your character, then start a game (all by yourself). You can play in that place all alone.
The Utrean map gives you teleporters so you can jump from one town to another or to specific spots on the map. You'll still have to run through the dungeon yourself a bit, but it saves a bit of running back and forth, esp. if you need to get from one town to another.
12.5 CHICKEN LEVEL
Diablo has a "cow level" (technically that was just an urban legend, but Diablo 2 made it real), so Dungeon Siege has a "chicken level". It's NOT in the SP campaign. It's actually on the MP Utrean map.
Instead of repeating all that, I'll just refer you to the existing Chicken Level FAQ on Gamefaqs.com.
12.6 THE LOST PYRAMIDS NEAR GRESCAL
Yes, the pyramids are REALLY there. Finding them, however, is a different problem.
13 Miscellaneous
13.1 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MP AND SP
In MP mode, you control a single character, not a whole party. You also can't buy any packmules, or hire any one.
Other than that, the game is the same.
The party dynamics are quite different, as different people do different things. Instead of ordering YOUR mage to do healing, you have to rely on someone else do healing on you, or you do healing on others.
If you are playing solo, things can get interesting, as being mobbed can be a serious problem.
The enemies are "scaled" to the size of your party though, so if you're playing solo, the enemies are significantly weaker than if you're playing with a full party of 8.
Everything is balanced... mostly.
13.2 COMMAND-LINE PARAMETERS
There are three command-line parameters for Dungeon Siege that makes the game behave differently.
To add a command-line parameter, create a shortcut to the main EXE file. (or make a copy of the existing shortcut).
Then right-click the shortcut, and edit the "Target" box.
The target box will probably say something like:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Dungeon
Siege\DungeonSiege.exe"
Yes, it has quotes around it. Add the command-line parameter
AFTER the quotes, with a space in between.
For example, say you want to try the hi-res 1600 x 1200 mode. The parameters are: width=1600 height=1200
So your target box should say:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Dungeon
Siege\DungeonSiege.exe" width=1600 height=1200
Then you run the game from the new shortcut
13.2.1 High Resolution Mode
To force Dungeon Siege to run in undocumented video modes (to show off, mainly), use the following parameters width=X height=Y where X and Y are valid resolutions for your video card and monitor. Usually, people try 1600 and 1200, respectively.
BEWARE! Using the wrong resolution can severely damage your monitor!
13.2.2 Windows Mode
If you want to run Dungeon Siege in a window (sharing the
