Exit Routes

The Dark Forest is lying besides the Fertile Plains, but can only be accessed through the Wizard Tower. The Dark Forest features many unique items, schematics and weaponry not found anywhere else in the game. Due to its difficulty, it is not advised for lower leveled heroes.

Explorable Locations

Treldan Wood

Treldan Wood contains two important locations: Lichfield Hollow and Darkmoor Swamp, both found by exploring the area. Darkmoor Swamp can only be found by heroes of level 10 or higher and contains powerful creatures. The woods, themselves, however, are a natural place for bow-armed heroes to explore. The map for Treldan Wood is 800 gold and can be found at the Valmorgen Rangers Guild.

Lichfield Hollow

  • Lichfield Hollow contains three notable locations. The socket carver sockets low-level armor and weapons necessary for heroes to use basic schematics. The alchemist offers to create special items once provided with gold and necessary ingredients. The fur trader accepts Alpha Lion and Bloodbear skins for gold.

Explorable Locations

  • Darkmoor Swamp: The Swamp contains unique items and a host of powerful monsters, notably the Bog Golem. Most heroes must explore to find an exit from the swamp or an entry into the sunken city. Rangers may leave the swamp at will.
  • Sunken City: The ruins of the sunken city is one of the most dangerous places to venture in Ardania. Heroes venturing here will encounter Flesh Hunters.

Hellfire Mountains

The Hellfire Mountains contains alot of mid-level items and monsters, and is the location where most ingredients for the Valmorgen schematics can be found. Heroes traveling to the Hellfire Mountains should expect difficulty in traveling through the area. At the center of the mountains is Traveller's Dell, an important trade village containing valuable items, including maps to the four regions of the mountains. Maps are required for heroes to (directly travel) to those regions. Four passes extend out of Traveler's Dell. Maps necessary to travel these passes are available at Lormidia's Farseer.

Mountain Passes out of Traveler's Dell

  • Western Pass to the Valley of Gur-Mechina: The Valley of Gur-Mechina contains only undead enemies. Traveler's are advised to be aware of the Vampire Queen, the most dangerous inhabitant of this area.
  • Northern Pass to Grov-Urtat: Can be traveled but the destination has not been completed.
  • Eastern Pass to the Desolate Wastelands: The Desolate Wastelands lead to the game's most difficult location so far and should not be entered unless you are very well prepared!

Explorable Regions

Desolate Wastelands Region

The Desolate Wastelands is reached by traveling the Eastern Pass. The desolate wastelands contains numerous unique items and features prominently in a few quests.

  • Imp Workshop: located on the Wastelands, the Workshop offers services in upgrading equipment.

From the wastelands, heroes can also travel to:

  • Ruins of Thallis: A large city ruins with the largest collection of class-unique items found in the game. Lots of adventure, excitement, and opponents are found here.
  • Ruins of Gar Uta: Heroes venturing here will find likely find quests to undertake.

Krolm's Anvil

Krolm's Anvil: Reached from Gar Uta, this region of the map contains some of the most fearsome adversaries in all of Ardania. Heroes venturing here should be prepared.

  • Nomad's Outpost: Once found, heroes might be able to use the outpost to keep themselves supplied in much needed items.

Leprechaun valley

The Leprechaun Valley can be reached by opening a treasure chest found either in the Buried Cathedral or the Time Keeper's Basement. Heroes entering the valley this way will receive an amount of gold given by their level multiplied by 1000. Another method of entering is by opening a chest in the Ascend the Wizard's Tower quest (which will not give any gold). Heroes may only leave the valley by finding an exit stone which teleports them to a random location in Ardania. The exit stone will appear after a Leprechaun battle (it will not spontaneously appear like many other areas).

Elven Valley

The Elven Valley is hidden within the Hellfire Mountains. Heroes find this location only by completing an Elven escort mission found at random in any of the four regions of the Hellfire Mountains. The Elven Valley contains a blacksmith with powerful armors and weapons for certain classes.
