FAQ/Walkthrough \ 6l. Jarl and Jotun Side Quests
PQUCHJAR \_______________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: The Invitations
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Location: Tusk
Requirements: Have completed the Story Quest Horns of Sartek
Info: You must deliver an invitation to two Giants, Jarl and Jotun. They
have been invited to attend a tournament in Tusk.
Places Unlocked: Blackhoof, Giant's Walk, Jarl's Keep, Jotun's Keep
Completion:
You will have to send invitations personally to Jarl and Jotun. They both
preside over their own keeps, which you can take over and gain money from.
Jarl is a Frost Giant and Jotun is a Fire Giant, which means they are very
temperamental and hard to deal with. Furthermore, their keeps are defended
by another giant. Make your way over to Jotun's Keep first and defeat the
Fire Giant that is in front of it. Fire Giants can use the skill
Conflagration to increase the number of Red Gems on the board. Once that
happens, their weapon, the Flameblade, can deal more damage to you and their
spell, Rain of Fire, can deal more direct damage to you. Also, they have
the Stomp! skill, which can stun you for a couple of turns. Finally, they
have decent stats and a 30% Fire Resistance. When you defeated the Fire
Giant, deliver the invitation to Jotun. Now, make your way over to Jarl's
Keep next. Don't expect things to get any easier when dealing with the
Frost Giant. It's almost the same thing as the Fire Giant. Instead of the
spells Conflagration and Rain of Fire, it's the spells Freeze and Frostbite
and instead of the Flameblade, it's a Frostblade. Finally, they have 30%
Water Resistance instead of 30% Fire Resistance. Just do the same thing you
did with the Fire Giant with this Giant. If you are having problems
defeating either of the two Giants, you may want to hold off until later to
complete this quest, as the quests that will follow this one will involve
much of the same. When the Frost Giant is defeated, deliver the invitation
to Jarl and head back to Tusk. You will receive your reward.
Reward: +200 Gold, +200 Experience

------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jarl's Hammer
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Location: Jarl's Keep
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest The Invitations
Info: Jotun the Fire Giant has stolen Jarl's Hammer. You must take it back
and return it to its rightful owner.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Jarl is looking for his Hammer and he knows who took it. Apparently, Jotun
the Fire Giant, his rival, has stolen Jarl's Hammer and he wants it back.
He has recruited you to get it for him. This will begin the long process of
stealing and retrieving and fighting Giants. Make your way over to Jotun'
Keep and knock on Jotun's Door. Jotun won't just hand you the Hammer.
Instead, he will fight you to keep the Hammer and use the Hammer against
you. You should know what Fire Giants do by now. They have the
Conflagration spell, which turns gems of a selected type to Red Gems. This
will power up their Rain of Fire direct damage spell. However, because
Jotun is using Jarl's Hammer against you, he will not be wielding a
Flameblade. Jarl's Hammer deals damage to you whenever Jotun gets Blue
Mana, so he will be damaging you this way also. When the Fire Giant is
bested, you will have taken Jarl's Hammer. Return to Jarl's Keep and return
the hammer to its owner.
Reward: +200 Gold, +200 Experience
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jarl's Hammer Complete!
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jotun's Helm
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Location: Jotun's Keep
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Jarl's Hammer
Info: Jarl the Frost Giant has stolen Jotun's Helm. You must find and
return it.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
Apparently, Jotun took Jarl's Hammer because Jarl took Jotun's Helm. Well,
it's time to make a trip over to Jarl's Keep and to get back the helm. Jarl
is a Frost Giant, which means you will have to deal with the Freeze spell,
which turns Red Gems into Blue Gems. This goes well with their Frostbite
spell, which deals damage to you based on the Blue Gems on the board. He
also has the Stomp! skill, which will stun you for a turn. Finally, Jarl is
equipped with Jotun's Helm and Boots, along with his own Hammer. Other than
the equipment, Jarl is just a normal Frost Giant. When Jarl is defeated,
make your way back to Jotun's Keep and return the Helm.
Reward: +200 Gold, +200 Experience
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jotun's Helm Complete!
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jarl's Cloak
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Location: Jarl's Keep
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Jotun's Helm
Info: Jotun the Fire Giant has stolen Jarl's Cloak. You must take it back
and return it to its rightful owner.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
This cycle will never end. Jarl wants his Cloak back. Jotun has the Cloak,
so make your way over to Jotun's Keep and get back the Cloak. Jotun is the
same as before except that he has his Helm and Flameblade back. Defeat
Jotun...again...and then make your way back to Jarl's Keep and return the
Cloak.
Reward: +200 Gold, +200 Experience
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jarl's Cloak Complete!
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jotun's Boots
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Location: Jotun's Keep
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Jarl's Cloak
Info: Jarl the Frost Giant has stolen Jotun's Boots. You must find them
and return them.
Places Unlocked: None
Completion:
One more time, make your way over to Jarl's Keep and battle him for Jotun's
Boots. Jarl is the same as before except he has his Cloak back and doesn't
have Jotun's Helm. Defeat Jarl and return Jotun's Boots back to Jotun to
complete this quest. This has got to stop.
Reward: +200 Gold, +200 Experience
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Jotun's Boots Complete!
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Side Quest: Brotherly Love
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------
Location: Jarl's Keep
Requirements: Have completed the Side Quest Jotun's Boots
Info: You must try to put an end to Jarl and Jotun stealing each others'
things.
Places Unlocked: Weret
Completion:
This has got to stop. Otherwise, you'd never get on with the story. First,
talk to Jarl about getting the brothers to stop stealing things from each
other. Jarl will inform you that if Jotun signs an agreement on Griffonskin
parchment, Jarl will agree to stop the feud. He will tell you that you can
find some Griffonskin parchment from a merchant in Kor. Make your way over
to Jotun's Keep and talk to him now. Jotun says he will agree to a cease
fire if Jarl signs the agreement in Medusa's Blood. Apparently, you can
find a Medusa outside of the village of Weret. You tell both Jarl and Jotun
that the agreement point will be at the Giant's Walk. First, make your way
over to Weret and find the Medusa. Medusas can cast the Petrify spell,
which stuns you. Also, they can Poison you with their attacks and turn
Green Gems into Skulls with their Stone Gaze skill. When the Medusa is
defeated, you will find the blood from the Medusa. Now, it's time to get
the Griffonskin parchment. You can find the merchant in question in
Gruuldok. The path to Gruuldok is probably filled with lots of random
creatures, so it might take a while to get to Gruuldok. When you reach
Gruuldok, Neehi is the merchant in question. He will give you the parchment
for 100 Gold. When you have the Griffonskin, make your way back to the
Giant's Walk and have the two giants sign the agreement. When they have
signed the agreement, they will get into another argument. At the end of
the argument, you will end up getting all the equipment that you were
stealing and returning.
Reward: Jarl's Hammer and Cloak, Jotun's Helm and Boots

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 8. Companions
PQUCOMPA \_______________________________________________________
Throughout the game, you will come across various people with various
personalities. Helping these people will gain their respect and cause them
to want to join your party. At the start of a battle, if the right
conditions are met, your companions will increase your abilities or decrease
your opponent's abilities or Life Points, giving you the edge in the battle.
There are nine companions in all (ten if you count Sunspear's two modes), but
you can only have eight in your party, which means at the end, you will have
to make a choice of who you want in your party.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 9. Structures
PQUSTRUC \_______________________________________________________
Structures are buildings you can build inside of your citadel. Your citadel
is very important, as it allows you to gain skills, forge new items, and
improve your skills. You will want to focus on building all the structures
inside of your citadel as soon as possible, as you will notice the benefits
of having a completed citadel immediately.
Dungeon:
Cost: 250 Gold
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Dungeon allows you to capture enemies and ride captured mounts.
To capture an enemy, you must have defeated them in battle three times
beforehand. The fourth time you fight the enemy, along with fighting
the enemy and canceling the battle, you will be given the option to
capture the enemy. You will be given a puzzle that you will need to
solve. To solve the puzzle, you must clear the board of all gems.
Zaraf has created Monster Capture Solutions on GameFAQs, which can help
you capture the monsters.
Mage Tower:
Cost: 400
Prerequisites: Dungeon
Effect: A Mage Tower allows you to learn spells from captured enemies.
This will unlock the Research Spells option. More on this option can
be found in Chapter 10 of this guide.
Stable:
Cost: 500
Prerequisites: Dungeon
Effect: A Stable allows you to train mounts and increase their
effectiveness in combat. This will unlock the Train Mounts option.
More on this option can be found in Chapter 11 of this guide.
Forge:
Cost: 600
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Forge allows you to create new magic items. This will unlock
the Forge Items option. More on this option can be found in Chapter 12
of this guide.
Siege Workshop:
Cost: 800
Prerequisites: Forge
Effect: A Siege Workshop allows you to attack and capture other cities on
the map. A captured city allows you to access your citadel from that
city, along with gaining gold every month when you pass through the
city. More on this option can be found in Chapter 13 of this guide.
Temple:
Cost: 1000
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Temple allows you to improve your Hero's skills. This will
unlock the Improve Skills option. To do so, you must donate money to
the temple, which requires gold. The higher your skill is, the more
money it costs to raise it up one point.
Towers:
Cost: 1250
Prerequisites: None
Effect: Towers reduce the chance of rebellion in your captured cities by
50%. If a city rebels, you will be unable to do anything in that city
until you re-siege the city and capture it back. With a Tower, your
cities will hardly ever rebel.
Vault:
Cost: 1500
Prerequisites: None
Effect: A Vault increases Gold income from captured cities by 50%
Statues:
Cost: 2500
Prerequisites: None
Effect: Statues grant you a special award - King or Queen - which
improves your Morale by +5. This should be the last structure you
should focus on getting, since it costs the most and really doesn't
affect you that much.

Puzzle Quest \
FAQ/Walkthrough \ 10. Research Spells
PQURESEA \_______________________________________________________
When you have a Dungeon and a Mage Tower, you will gain the ability to
research spells learned from captured enemies. To capture an enemy, you must
have defeated them three times. On the fourth time, you will be given the
option to capture them. You must then solve a puzzle in which you need to
eliminate every gem on the board. If you do not, you will have to try again.
To solve these puzzles, you can use Zaraf's Monster Capture guides on
GameFAQs. I personally have tried every one of these and think that the
guides are really well done. When you have captured an enemy, you will be
able to use the Research Spell option inside of your citadel to gain the
spell and add it to your list of spells. When you are researching a spell,
you will go to your familiar battle grid. However, you will not be facing an
opponent. Instead, you will be simply trying to clear a certain amount of
Gems and Scrolls. There are special rules involving this game. They are
found on the top screen, but I have also listed them here.
4-of-a-kind: Gives double points and generates a scroll.
5-0f-a-kind: Gives triple points and generates two scrolls.
Heroic Effort: On a cascade of five or higher, the board is cleared of
Purple Stars, Gold Coins, and Skulls.
Special: If you complete a category, it clears the board of matching gems.
Defeat: You lose if there are no moves left.
The only way you lose is if there are no moves left. However, the longer you
take, the more inclined the game is to not help you. Also, scrolls will not
randomly appear. They only appear if you get a four or five of a kind.
Therefore, you want to focus on getting the scrolls first. Also, another
thing you want to focus on is getting the highest number of gems.
There are four levels of spells you can obtain. There is Easy, Moderate,
Hard, and Very Hard. Obviously, Very Hard spells can take a long time to get
and you will probably end up failing more times than not. Also, they have
the highest Gem and Scroll totals to get rid of.
I have separated the spells in this section by their difficulty. I have also
listed what monster you need to capture for that spell and the Gems and
Scrolls you need to clear in order to obtain the spell.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 11. Mounts
PQUMOUNT \_______________________________________________________
You can obtain mounts when you build both a Dungeon and a Stable, you will be
able to ride mounts, once you capture some. Capturing a mount is the same as
capturing an enemy. After you have fought an enemy three times, the fourth
time you encounter the enemy, you will have another option other than
fighting the enemy and canceling the battle. You will be given a chance to
capture the enemy. Just like with capturing other enemies, you must solve a
puzzle in order to capture a mount.
Also, you can train your mounts to increase their effects and give you a
better chance of avoiding random enemy encounters. When you click on the
Train Mount option, you will be given the list of your current mounts. When
you train a mount, you must battle a mount of a certain level. However, the
battle is not a normal battle. It is a timed battle, meaning that you have a
certain amount of time to make your move or you will take 5 points of damage
as if you have performed an illegal move. The time will slowly decrease
every time you train a mount until you reach three seconds per move, which
means you will not have very much time in order to make your move.
There are seven mounts you can capture. Each one has a different speed,
spell that they give you, and effect that you benefit from. Finally, you do
not need to Research Spells from the mounts. You simply get them when you
are riding the mount. It is the last spell on your list of spells when you
enter battle.

FAQ/Walkthrough \ 12. Forge Items
PQUFORGE \_______________________________________________________
When you build a Forge, you will have the ability to Forge Items. In order
to forge an item, you will need three runes. The first rune is the Base
Rune. These runes determine what item you will have. Also, these runes have
special skills that they provide to your item, normally involving your
statistical skills, damage, or Mana Reserves. Second, you need a Modifier
Rune. Modifier Runes increase the effectiveness of both the Base Rune and
the third type of rune, the Power Rune. Power Runes add special abilities to
your forged items, normally dealing with various other things such as your
starting Mana and your Spell Resistances.
Just like Researching Spells, you will be taken to a special Battle Grid
where it will be just you playing. However, the goal and the rules for
Forging Items is different. The goal is to match a certain amount of Hammers
& Anvils, which is indicated off to the left hand side of the bottom screen.
The rules for this game can be found on the top screen and also listed below.
4-of-a-kind: Destroys a row or column.
5-0f-a-kind: Destroys all gems of matching type and a row or column.
Heroic Effort: On a cascade of five or higher, creates a random Hammer &
Anvil on the board.
Special: After Hammers & Anvils are destroyed, the board resets.
Defeat: You lose if there are no moves left.
This seems easier than the Spell Research, and it normally is. The best way
to get rid of a Hammer & Anvil is to either use a +5 Skull to get rid of one
or to clear a row or a column that has one in it using a four or five of a
kind. Also, if you manage to match three Hammers & Anvils together, you will
get credit for all three of them. Just like the Spell Research, you lose the
game if there are no more moves left on the board. Typically speaking, the
longer you play, the more likely the game will no longer give you any moves
to make. Finally, when you match a Hammer & Anvil, the entire Battle Grid
clears and resets, which can sometimes randomly set up a four or five in a
row for you and randomly clear out a Hammer & Anvil without you even trying.
You start off with three Runes in your inventory. However, once you have
built a Forge, you can obtain more. Scattered across the map, normally at
points that are not cities or special dungeons, are Runekeepers. You will
know if a Runekeeper is at a place if you tap on the place and see the option
to Search for Runes in that area. In order to obtain the Rune from that
area, you must fight a Runekeeper. Runekeepers are special versions of
monsters you will fight throughout the game. These Runekeepers have two
items on them, called the Runekeepers Tome and the Runekeepers Key. These
two items combined will increase their Mana Reserves and in turn, increase
the damage they can deal to you. I have listed in this guide all of the
Runes, what they do, where to find them, and who you have to defeat in order
to obtain the Rune.
