A let's play series of the 4th game in the Aveyond series by Amaranth Games! As an extra challenge, I'm playing in 'Super Villain Mode!' (aka Expert Mode). Right now Ingrid has 6 affection points on Boyle. Having done all these things 1) Gargoyle - Wyrmwood: Boyle only point 2) Advanced tournament victory badge - Tor 3) Love cookies - Halaina 4) Te'ijal love advice - Ravwyn 5) Love Stone - Ravwyn 6) Share Crab Meat - Crab Island it says I cannot get the love potions, as need to almost be in love. So what am I missing here?
SOME BASIC INSTRUCTIONS. I personally recommend playing the game first without the walkthrough and after having played it once, replay it using the walkthrough. That way you will not only enjoy the game and its story but also will get to find everything you missed the first time when you played it.While replaying you will know that what would happen if you talk to someone which can trigger some unexpected events, so you may like to finish the other quests before you proceed. This way you can explore all the probable possibilities in the game as rpg games offer a lot of diversions and endings. I will not mention places which are easy to locate (e.g the palace, any person in the village, etc.).If you are new to RPG-style games then you can always go to ‘options’ to know more about the game controls and moving your character. Select the ‘tutorial’ from the options menu and you will be directed to a folder containing instructions about the game play.Press the ‘escape’ (Esc) key to pull up the game menu.
Here you can use items, use or see character skills (e.g. Heal), change character equipments, check who is in your party, choose a party leader or see the character profiles to find out how much experience they need in fighting to achieve the next level. The journal is very helpful as it reminds you of what needs to be done next. Also make sure that you save your game often so that you don’t lose your progress due to a power cut or by accidental game shutdown.Enter every house as you may find chests and talk to every one in any village as they give you important items, side quests or hints; I will not mention it always and assume that you do so. Always open the chests if you find any, they will yield useful items.Sometimes I may refer some areas as ‘screens’. So when I say go back by two screens it means that starting from the current area (screen) you go back to the previous area and then to the previous of this area through the passages you have followed.The enemies re-spawn here except for the main enemies (to be referred as boss from now onwards), so you can fight them over and over again just by exiting and re-entering the screen and level up your characters. Leveling up would help you fight difficult bosses with ease.WALKTHROUGHSince the walkthrough is quite big, you can use the 'Find' command to instantly jump to any word or phrase in the guide.
Simply hold down the Ctrl and 'F' keys together, and enter the word or phrase you’re looking for into the text box.The maps are courtesy of the Aveyond community at and have been used with permission.THE BEGINNING.The game starts with a cutscene. You can choose to play or skip introduction.
After the cutscene you will find your main character Rhen standing beside a narrow stream. Cross the bridge and keep walking till you reach a ladder.
Climb it and you will find another set of stairs and a cave beside it. Ignore the cave for now and climb up the stairs.
You will be presented an in-game message. You are given some instructions and the location of Rhen’s dad’s house. Your father will give you some instructions. This is your first quest which you will find in your journal (quest no.2). Similarly all the other important or unimportant quests are listed in the journal.FINDING THE HERBALIST.Go all the way north from Rhen’s dad’s house and locate the herbalist in the last house of the topmost part of the village. Talk to her and she will join you as a guest (press escape key and you will see her under the friend’s section at the bottom of the menu). Go back to your Rhen’s house in dad’s room, talk to dad and watch the conversation.
Then talk to Rhen’s mom in the previous room. You get another quest (quest no.3).RING 5 MARION BELL.Go to the place where you first started the game and pick the pink colored flowers.
You can collect 4 flowers from there and the last one can be found here: walk up to the cave which you ignored before and enter it. Climb the ladder and keep following the path straight ahead till you are outside the cave. There you will find the last Marion bell flower. Go back to mom and give her the flowers.Make Rhen sleep on her small bed in dad’s room. Watch the cutscene.
After that, walk down onto the next room and talk to the priestess Talia. The chest in that room is locked and will available later in the game.After talking to Talia, get out of the house and talk to Rhen’s dad. Wander down the stairs and you will find a red haired guy standing in front of the cave. Talk to him and select ‘of course’ when you are given options. If you select ‘no way’ then you have to talk to him again and select ‘of course’. Enter the cave after him. Talk to the man and watch the event.
You will see the world map:.Rhen wakes up in a slave’s dress in a small room. Read the paper on the small table. You will get your quest list (side quest 4 and 5).
You will also find another quest in your list which had been triggered by the kidnapping event. Anyways walk down one screen and talk to the house mistress Rona. She demands that you do your chores.KILLING THE SPIDERS.Enter the door beside her and then again through the door that’s in front. Walk up to the spiders and press the action button or enter. This is your first fight. Kill the spiders and collect items/gold from the corpse.
You may heal Rhen by making her sleep on the small rug in her room. Talk to Rona again and she will ask you get Lars’ clothes done by the seamstress.GETTING LARS’ CLOTHES.Get out of the house, open the gate, get down the stairs and go down. The house immediately next to the grey haired guy Eddie (slave) is the house of the seamstress. Enter it and talk to her.
After the job is done return to Rona. Now she will ask you to find her son Lars.FINDING LARS.From the seamstress house keep walking down past the small pool to your right and enter the greenery enclosed area.
You will find three people standing at the extreme right corner. Talk to the green haired guy.
Return to Rona and report. After her expression of “kindness”, make Rhen sleep in her rug.Wake up and talk to Rona again. You need to fetch Lars again. Walk beside the seamstress’ house and you will find Lars bullying another slave. Talk to him and watch the events. You can talk to the red haired man Lorad. Now your next destination is Shadow Wood academy in Veldarah (side quest no.8).WAY TO SHADOW WOODS ACADEMY.The guard will allow you pass when you show the token given by Lorad.
Exit Ghalarah and take the dirt path. You will find a horse carriage parked there. It is a mule express and it can take you to places where you have visited at least once. For the time being, you’ve not visited Veldarah yet, so you have to make your way to Veldarah through the wilderness.
Since Rhen doesn’t have a high level that’s why it is recommended that you avoid the enemies in the wilderness (except for the solitary spiders may be which are easy to fight) or else you will get killed easily.Follow the dirt path till you reach a ladder; climb up and keep following the dirt path till you reach another ladder. Don’t go down, take the north-western path and keep moving till you reach a bridge. Cross it and head to the eastern direction, through the path between forested trees till you reach another ladder.
Go down and keep moving east till you see another mule express. Go pass the mule express and enter Veldarah.SHADOW WOODS ACADEMY.Starting at the gate, walk up north, Walk to your right near the inn, cross the fences and keep walking to your right till you reach a blue roofed house (old man’s house); go north from there and then to your left is the shadow wood academy. Enter it and talk to the man to your left. He is Harald, the principal.
Follow his instructions carefully as he would tell you everything you need to know.Make your way to the sword singer students dormitory inside (talk to one of the roaming students in the garden they will give you the direction). Enter your room (the second from the extreme right) and open the chest. You will get a student outfit. Go to your inventory (items) and select the student outfit to wear it. Sleep on the bed.
From now on you can heal Rhen and her party for free here till you graduate. Watch the cutscene.Rhen wakes up in her room. You will find Rhen’s level increased by 5 from her previous level. Walk outside the dormitory and you will find Lorad waiting to test her. I would recommend leveling her up because at this level it would be difficult to fight him.
For leveling up, I personally found the troop of four rats inside the cave in the wilderness providing the maximum amount of experience points in that area; so you can level up fast. Use the slide thrust spell to knock them off at once one at the time.
To confront Lorad, a level of at least 7-10 is required. The ice spell scrolls works wonders against him. My special level up tactic: I personally follow a special tactic.
After getting the cash cow (refer Goodies section) I buy lot of bread loaf and get the novice qualification by registering at shadow wood academy. Then instead of sleeping at the dormitory, I buy the weapons and armors to equip Rhen and explore the wilderness. At higher levels it requires more xp to level up Rhen.
So since 5 levels are added for free after the cutscene, what I do is level up Rhen to level 5 (since it is requires less xp and time to level up at lower levels) by fighting the rats and then go to the sleep in the shadow wood dormitory room. This way after the cutscene Rhen is already at level 10 and prepared to face Lorad. And it also saves your time and effort to level up at higher levels. (NOTE: if you level Rhen more than level 5, then also after the cutscene she will be upgraded to level 10 only. So the maximum level you can gain is level 10 by this tactic).Once Lorad is defeated go and talk to Harald. Go through the door to his north and then take the right passage.
You will find the hall for advanced sword singers. Here the teachers will teach you certain skill if you’ve reached a particular level.
It is recommended that you select the skills wisely as you can learn only five of them and level up so that you can learn the skills meant for higher levels. Choose a mix of single and multi damage spells.
