D.  RIDDLE ANSWERS:
Maze of Thorns: 0.
Vale of the Sould: Shield, helmet, gloves.
Annwn: Smile (Celts).  Bones (Romans)
Hollow Hills: Exile.
Spire: Raven, Velanna.

E.  Either Or Quests:
Deliver the Amber to either the GIFTSs or the Spider queen.
Reward: GIFTSs: Sylak's enlightening amber.  Spider queen: Seven league boots.
My advice: Seven league boots are best.

Deliver the Rosy stones to the Rose lady or to Samael.
Reward: Rose lady: +1 to strength, dexterity and intelligence.  Samael:
Raise Dead, Hero of Old, and Beast Call.
My advice: Skill points are nice, but this is the only place to get
Hero of Old.  Go for Samael.

F.  Sylak Items
Skull- Hill with Fomorians, tells you location of spells and will help you in Hagfen.
Scalpel- Aerie, helps first aid skill.
Cloth- A cave near Aerie, Generates random clothing items
Pants- one of the crone's murder quests for the Romans, good defense.
Also found in Castle Aethdoc.
Candle- Celtic shrine, for the romans. Generates light occasionally.
Horn- Vanarium, summons warrior when blown.
Mortar and pestle- Hagfen, generates random herbs.
Dice- Lake near hollowed hills, useful only at the gambling goblins near Nethergate.
Trash- pit near Vale of the sould, no use.
Pen- Goblins near Castle Aethdoc, Generates random magic scrolls if you have paper.

Hasting Draught - 2nd level of Roman goblin mine - box in NE
- 2nd level of Celt goblin pit - book in NE
Power Elixir - Kaja -western edge of map - Pretty Average
Restoring Elixir - Vanarium - Titus - Somewhat Pricey - under Celt Temple - book in 2nd library room
Strength Draught - under Ruined Hall - hidden bookcase in NW
- Vanarium - Titus - Somewhat Pricey
Woad - Vanarium - Titus - Somewhat Pricey
Healing and Curing- Shadowvale fort, to the SW, in the hospital.  Look at the box.

G.  BUGS:
Freedom ring bug: Not too problematic, but the freedom ring is very small in the inventory, but when dropped on the ground, is pretty big.
Mildly humorous.

Bad colors for PC: For the PC version of Nethergate, the letters for an item description (not in-depth) are obscured by the dark colored background.

Fight-End bug: A significant problem in a few places, most notably the
Shadowvale Fort.  When you press fight, and then end, your characters move in one direction or another.  This presents problems in the Fort, especially after killing a bunch of Romans.  Once ended, your party may move beyond the "instant death" barrier, and can't get out.  This is also mentioned in "Cheating."

Resurrection bug: Resurrection doesn't seem to work.  Just reload instead.

CHEATING:
The Fight-End Trick:
When you end combat, your party moves a little. If all your characters are in a line, the line will always move ahead. This movement bypasses all special encounters and traps. You can use this trick to explore areas that are normally closed to your side (for example, explore
Nethergate village as Romans).
Blessing Pool Abuse:
If you put a stack of items into the blessing pool, you will get an equally large stack of converted items. So if you buy hundreds of cheapest potions, you can get huge quantities of Knowledge Brew, that you can use to get tons of skill points or resell for lots of money.
