Dungeon Siege
         Unofficial FAQ/Walkthrough v.1.0 - Part 1
                       By Mr. Dubbers

+---------+
+FARMLANDS+
+---------+

The game begins with a cut scene depicting some back- story, and
then flows into a shot of your farm.  A friend of yours will crawl
up to you as you are working in the fields, informing you that the
Krug are attacking.  He will then ask you to meet his friend in
Stonebridge.  {QUEST:  SEEK NORICK"S FRIEND GYORN IN STONEBRIDGE}
You are then left to fend off the attackers, as your friend dies.
Pick up a weapon off the ground, or one of the basic spells you
will undoubtedly find, and start killing off those Krug.  You
should actually decide right at this point what class you want to
shape your main character into.  It's probably best to just start
developing a melee fighter, as it will make the early stages of
the game much easier, since you will be soloing for awhile.
Anyway, follow along the path until you reach the home of a man
named Edgaar.  He will ask you to clear his basement of monsters.
{QUEST: CLEAR EDGAAR'S BASEMENT} Walk outside of his house and you
will see the entrance to his basement.  Open the door and head on
down.  Inside, there will be enemies for you to fight (actually,
there will ALWAYS be enemies for you to fight, so from now on,
I'll only make note of particular enemies that might give you
trouble).  Clear out all of them and take all of the loot you can
find.  {QUEST COMPLETED: CLEAR EDGAAR'S BASEMENT} Continue along
the path until you come across a man standing near a broken
bridge.  He will inform you that since this bridge to the town of
Stonebridge is broken, you will have to head through the Crypts to
reach your destination.  Continue along the path until you reach
the entrance to the Crypts, which is a mausoleum-looking thing.
Head on in.

+-------------------------+
+CRYPT OF THE SACRED BLOOD+
+-------------------------+

You will find yourself inside of the game's first dungeon.  It's
not very long or complicated, so you shouldn't have much trouble.
Since you still only have one party member, be sure to only carry
the best of the loot.  Also, since you will be getting a new party
member very soon, try to decide what class you will want her to be
and gather the appropriate starting equipment for her.  For
example, I chose to create an archer out of her, so I brought
along the strongest bow I could find.  To proceed through this
dungeon, you will only have to kill the enemies and open doors.
The area, like almost all of the other areas in the game, is very
linear, so you should not get lost.  You will also be fighting
very weak enemies, so there really isn't anything to worry about.
Just make your way through, following the all-too-easy-to-see
"game path".  Eventually you will see a woman standing near a
door, which is the exit.  Talk to her and she will join your
party, if you wish (and you DO wish).  At this point, the game
will open up a bit and become a bit more strategic.  Equip her
with some items, and head on out of the dungeon back into the
forest.  Yet again, you will have a very obvious path to follow
through the woods.  Eventually, you will arrive in the town of
Stonebridge.

NOTE: Just thought I'd point out, that you failed to mention the
TON of secret passages players should look for in the Crypt of the
Sacred Blood.  They're a little hard to see, but as long as you
zoom in while going down hallways, and always look on the other
side of pillars, they're an easy source of more loot. - Perigon

NOTE: Nice Walkthrough.  I found a secret passage right before the
Blood of the Crypt.  The first statue that you come to has a
colored light and little uber guy.  If you click on it opens
stairs to a passage that has loot and guys. - Rebekah

+-----------+
+STONEBRIDGE+
+-----------+

Welcome to the game's first town.  Inside, the first thing you
should do is locate Norick's friend, Gyorn.  It shouldn't be too
hard, as you will practically run right into him as you make your
way through the town.  He is right on the main path.  (QUEST
COMPLETED: SEEK NORICK'S FRIEND GYORN IN STONEBRIDGE) He will
inform you that he must report to the Overseer in Glacern.
(QUEST: DELIVER GYORN'S REPORT) He will then join your party.  My
suggestion is to make him a mage; it doesn't matter which type.
After equipping Gyorn, make your way around the town, visit the
various shops, and buy plenty of potions.  You should sell
anything you aren't saving until you can use it.  I also suggest
buying a pack mule, as it will be invaluable to you for the entire
game.  Make sure to buy some spells for Gyorn, if you followed my
advice and made him a mage.  After you have sufficiently prepared
for the journey, head on out of the town towards Wesrin Cross.

NOTE: Just to let you know youve missed a quest in Stonebridge if
you talk to the guy next to the burnt down house he will ask you
to find his Axe in the Northern tower. Unfortunatley i havent
found it yet.. I just thought you might like to know. - Matt

NOTE: You probably know by now, but just in case you don't, the
axe you couldn't find in Dungeon Siege is in the first building
north that you arrive at after leaving Stonebridge. However, it is
not upstairs....it is down in the basement, after you go down the
elevator in the middle of the ground floor. You will find it on
one of the beds in the sideroom down there. - ZeD

NOTE: just wanted to add two things to your walkthrough in
stonebridge:  1)you can also get a quest from a woman upstairs in
the inn. its to find her sister in glacern.  2)ordus' axe is in a
tower's basement. the tower is outside of town. i couldnt say
exactly where. but, at some point, you go up a hill and to your
left, a little distance away, is the building. there is an
elevator on the ground floor, which takes you to an area
underground where there are a few krug, i think. you kill those,
and somewhere around there, i think on a bed, is the axe. - Parker

NOTE: There is another quest that u get in stonebridge.. if u go
up the stairs in the inn and talk to the girl in the lobby she
would ask u to deliver a message to her sister in glacern that she
is ok.. once u are in glacern.. simply walk straight through and
up to the house on the small hill and u will find her sister..
talk to her and the quest will be complete.  - Saad Khawaja

+WESRIN CROSS+
+------------+

Yet again you will be on a path through a forest.  Follow along,
slaying all who oppose you.  You will come across several wooden
signs pointing you in the direction of Wesrin Cross-Eastern Tower.
Follow them until you reach a man who you can talk to.  He is a
town guard, and he asks you to clear a path to Glitterdelve by
going around through Wesrin Cross.  (QUEST: CLEAR GLITTERDELVE
PASS) Follow along the path for a little bit longer and you will
encounter the ruins of a large stone tower.  A large and very
obvious sign in front of it proclaims it to be Wesrin Cross.
Enter the tower and go down the stairs to begin the game's second
dungeon.  It is considerably longer than the first; exploring the
entire thing could take around an hour and a half.  It also plays
quite differently than the Crypts, seeing as you now have a party
to deal with.  As with all of the dungeons in this game, it is
nearly impossible to get lost, because there is nowhere to explore
off of the beaten path.  Make your along, killing everything that
moves, until you come across a large circular platform hovering
over what seems to be a bottomless pit.  Move your entire party
onto the platform and pull the skull-shaped lever.  You will be
lowered to the dungeon's second level.  Fight off the enemies and
proceed along the path.  After a short while, you will enter an
incredibly large room.  It will take a long time to clear out, but
it is well worth the effort, as you will be able to gain more
treasure and increase your skills.  Take things slowly and clear
out each group of enemies you encounter before moving on to the
next.  If you have a pack mule, make sure it doesn't wander off
into the middle of a group of enemies.  Also, I advise setting
your party's AI so that they will not deviate too far from where
you tell them to go.  If you need health or mana, there is an
enclosed area in the center of the room that contains health and
mana fountains.  After clearing everything out, you will
eventually find the exit door, which is on the opposite wall from
where you entered.  Go through it and into the next room, where
you will see another circular cage platform.  Move your party
inside of it and flip the lever.  You will return to a new area of
the first level of the dungeon.  Proceed along and you will see a
small rectangular platform.  Move onto it and flip a switch.  You
will then rise back up to ground level.  Welcome to Glitterdelve.

+------------+
+GLITTERDELVE+
+------------+

Follow the path to the east and you will see a door with explosive
barrels in front of it.  Shoot them with a bow to blow the door
open.  Outside are some town guards.  Talk to them.  (QUEST
COMPLETED: CLEAR GLITTERDELVE PASS) Turn around and walk towards
the town.  You will get a cutscene of some monsters killing the
townspeople.  Then a dwarf will run out and lay a beat down on the
monsters.  Go up and talk to him when the cutscene is done.  His
name is Gloern and his brother Torg needs rescuing from the mines.
(QUEST: RESCUE TORG) Accept the quest and he will join your party.
I advise making him into a second fighter.  Since there is nothing
else to do in this town, enter the mineshaft.  This dungeon is a
bit less easy to find your way through, but it still isn't a big
deal.  Plus, the enemies here are very easy to kill.  Follow the
tracks and kill anything in your way.  If you happen to hit a dead
end, just turn around and there will usually be another path for
you to take almost immediately.  At the first fork, which is right
by the entrance, turn right.  Follow this to the next fork and
take the western path.  Follow this set of tracks until you see a
platform that you can stand on.  Do so, then flip the switch.  You
will be lowered into a cavernous area with some water nearby.
Trudge through said water until you can hop back on land again.
Go up the small set of stairs and follow along until you see a
moving platform.  When the platform docks on your side, quickly
get your party onto it.  It will take you across.  From here there
is another platform that moves down to ground level.  Hop on it.
Follow the tracks to the west as far as you can, then head north.
Go up the small ramp towards the machine, then continue north.
Turn west when you have to, then follow the tracks to the north.
Go east at the bend, then south.  You will see more tracks; follow
them to the east.  Head north at the bend and you will see more
tracks.  Follow them.  You will encounter a moving platform.  Get
on and ride across.  Head north a bit and ride another platform.
You will see an up and down moving platform; get on and ride down.
This large cavern has many paths.  The correct one lies to the
east.  Follow along and it will bend to the north.  You are now in
a long cavern with many elevators on either side.  All of them
lead to rooms of monsters and treasure, but the second one on the
right leads to Gloern's brother, Torg.  Talk to him and he will
give you an item for rescuing him.  (QUEST COMPLETED:  RESCUE
TORG) He will also ask you to report his findings to the Overseer.
(QUEST: REPORT TORG'S FINDINGS) Ride the nearby elevator up and
heads north until you reach a door.  Press the button to open it.
Go through and ride the elevator up.  Exit the building you're in
and you'll find yourself in the snow- covered forest just outside
of Glacern.

NOTE:  In the GLITTERDELVE part, there is a place where you can
stock up or sell some weapons and items, its located right before
you proceed to rescue TORG. Is on a small hill just right of the
main enterence of the cave. Just go down and follow right the part
until you see a small road goin up to a hill.. - Choong Kah Wai

+-------+
+GLACERN+
+-------+

Follow along the path through the snow until you reach Glacern.
You will get a cutscene when you open the town door.  Find the
Lucky Hurgiss Inn and enter.  Inside, you will find the Overseer.
Talk to him.  (QUEST COMPLETED: DELIVER GYORN'S REPORT) (QUEST
COMPLETED: REPORT TORG'S FINDINGS) He will tell you to find the
Grand Mage, Merik.  (QUEST: QUEST FOR MERIK) You can pick up two
new party members if you wish.  One is a fighter, the other is a
mage, and they are both standing in the inn.  Exit the inn and do
your shopping.  If you got a new party member, get them some
decent equipment.  When you're ready to leave, head out through
the large doors.

NOTE: Nice work on the walkthrough. I was looking throught it when
i noticed that there is a couple of quests missing from the
Glacern part of the walkthrough.  The first you can get in the
magic shop. As you walk in, talk to the gut on the right side of
the building. He borrowed 3 books and needs them back before the
chop owner finds out. The guy gives you volume 3 so u know what
the books look like. One of the books is located with the guy in
the watch tower you pass as you first entered Glacern. Go up to
him after you have recieved the quest and he should give you one
of the books. I cant quite remember where the other book is. I
think it might be with a guy upstaires in the blacksmiths place,
if not i guess it would be just a case of talking to everyone
after you have recieved the quest.

The second quest is recieved when you talk to the blacksmiths
apprentice. He gives you a sob story of how his place is full of
monsters, and he had no money so the blacksmith gave him a job so
he can tool up and defeat the monsters. His home is located after
you leave Glacern, but not too far away. I think its located off
the main path of the road, but its easy to find. - Monkey Boy

NOTE: There is a small quest in glacern.. if u go to the shop with
potions (located just in front-right when u enter glacern) and
talk to the girl to the right.. she asks you to find volumes of
the book that she lent to 2 people in glacern.. you can find one
book with the guard on the guard tower to the left when u enter
glacern and the other book is on the house that is to the right of
the shop with a guy standing in.. return the books to the girl and
u will get 200 gold coins (or maybe 2000 i dont remember
correctly). Quest Completed - Saad Khawaja

To be concluded in Issue 90
