Dragon Quest: Legacy of the Lost, Complete! Embark on a quest to restore the lands of lost! Options

[Fleta]

Lol, I had the same frustation, actually the key is not in the forest, if you go east on the split in the world map instead of west you'll come to a cave, you can find the key in there. That should get you back on the right path.

Sidenote: The more I play of this game the more I fall in love with it, keep up the good work!

I finally got that. When Gustav said he had lost it in the forest I thought that was where it was. Beat the bandit, got the key and now I'm trying (less than successfully) to get the shards in the shrine. Speaking of shards, when I brought back the ingredients and cured "mom", the doc said I could have his shard on the table, but it didn't allow me to pick it up. How do you get that?

I'm glad you all are enjoying it.

When you clear the Shrine (beat the boss at the end), you will be able to pick up the shard from Dr. Rothberg. I'm currently working on my last demo for Legacy of the Lost which will probably take most people around 20-25 hours to complete. When this next demo is released, the way to get through Erdrich Forest will be changed!

Definitely enjoying the game. Only couple questions left... Is there any way to get rid of a team member? I got the slime from mom's yard and allowed him to join my party thinking he would help with the monsters that I couldn't dispatch with a slash. He's worthless and he keeps on dying and costing me more money than he's worth. Also how do you get into the mountain cave? It's door is locked tight (although it looks like the key from the king should work there) and I can't begin to imagine how to get rid of the vine on the outside. Also is there any way to talk to the guy living in the NW corner of the southern side?

For your first question about removing party members, yes there is a way to remove them. Unfortunately, you cannot change your party setup until you complete the 2nd region, Cardial. A note about monsters though! While monsters do start of comparatively weak compared to human characters, they grow much faster and can very much meet or exceed the ability of a human character. While the slime is level 1, try having him just defend. He'll soak up damage relatively well and by about the time he's level 3, he really should be a decent addition to your team. In the 3rd region, you can start buying monster accessories to increase his stats. Also, if you really want, you can just leave him dead (although in the next demo, you may want him higher level to breed him ).

As for Rhemhage Caverns, you'll need to recruit the main in that cottage in the NW. To recruit him, try talking to all of the townspeople and getting a request from the mayor. Once you do that, you can recruit the man in the cottage. You'll need to get him to level 2 before he can burn down the vines.

Good luck!

EDIT (10:31 PM EST):
Progress on Legacy of the Lost has been going smoothly. I'm roughly a little halfway done with the game and think now would be the best time to release the final public demo. With this demo, breeding will be included so people get to try out this exciting new feature.

However, before I release the demo to the public, I would like to have a beta test. If you are interested in helping out, let me know on here or through PM! I am about 2-3 days away from finishing the demo, but I just wanted to get the word out that I am seeking testers. Keep in mind, this demo is expected to take a little over 20 hours to complete. I have posted this announcement on here, RMN and the RPGmaker VX Community and want no more than 5 beta testers. Below is a list of changes from the previous version to the new one:


Changes from previous version (1.5) to 2.0:
- Two new regions, Illae and Esrarch, has been added.
- Monster Breeding is now available.
- Tons of new sidequests were added.
- Based on the answers to the questions at the beginning of the game, Aldain now starts with a special skill.
- Drop rates on monster materials have increased.
- Heal is no longer "holy" based.
- The process for getting information to get through Erdrich Forest has changed.*
- Expansion of Arena.
- Arena no longer only revives Aldain upon defeat.
- Arena victory music is fixed.
- Changed Olian's sprite.
- Changed Aldain's sprite from the side.
- RobMagic now steals enemy's MP instead of just decreasing it.
- Sap and Slow now work with 100% accuracy.
- Removed the "!" warping you to Cardial.
- Exit Bells no longer stop working after the Cardial Region.

*Dr. Rothberg will now simply tell you the route through the forest without having to retrieve the Holy Water first. Now you can get both in any order.

I've tried and tried and can't get a request from the mayor. He only laments about not having Oruba. I thought that might have been enough and that it was Oruba up in the hut, but he only tells me to get lost! What am I doing wrong?

Head back to the Rhemhage Inn. The farmer type guy there will tell you a little more about Oruba and then head back to the mayor. As long as you've talked to the farmer guy and 11 other people in the village, the mayor will give you the request to recruit Oruba.

That worked. I got Oruba to join up and when I got to the first meeting of monsters, it crashed saying RGSS2 Player stopped working with a fault module name of ntdll.dll (don't know if this helps any). Any comments?

It doesn't happen every time combat comes up but it's happened on more than one occasion (particularly annoying since I had Oruba 2 experience points from getting to level 2 and of course it's lost because I was out in the field and couldn't save)

[Orias Obderhode]

Hm... I've never had that error come up. You say it resulted from simply doing any battle (on occasion) once you recruited Oruba?

[Fleta]

Yeah. It starts to disappear the screen and then returns me to my desktop and comes up with that error message from Windows. Maybe because Oruba is the third character in the party?

Actually after the fourth time happening (out of 8 or 9), it's seems to have stopped. I've made it to the castle without seeing it anymore. But there doesn't seem to be any other areas to go to and the psychic says I need to get something holy to save the castle. Am I missing an area or can I pick up some more holy water maybe?

[Orias Obderhode]

Wow, that really confuses me! I've done so many playthroughs, especially of the earlier areas (sometimes with just Aldain and Oruba, and sometimes with all 3) and never seen it. I'll see if I can figure out the cause.

And yep! You can go and get Holy Water again from Gustav.

I love that your game is getting so many questions! It sounds like you need a walkthrough, any plans to make one? I wouldn't mind writing out some tips and such I come across as I play through, if you would like me too. Though I am helping with a few other projects, including my own so it may not be coming too quick.

Oh that would be really cool! Tips from other players are always welcome, its always interesting to see if players use different strategies than my own.
I do plan on releasing a full walkthrough when the game is finished though. The game will be fairly lengthy with plenty of extras, so it'll help people get 100% should they wish to!

A walkthrough would definitely add to it. I like to try to get through stuff but often times get frustrated by not having a psychic link to the originator's mind.

Once more into the fray, I saved the king, got the second shard and went back to the room (got the speech from Oruba nice to have him stay since he's become quite the magician for me) and went to each of the other map pieces and (splat!) nothing happened. The water shard isn't going into any of the others. Is there a map piece somewhere else?

That water shard should fit on to one of the blue pedestals. Are you sure you tried all of them?

To answer you, HOW THE *!@# DO YOU HURT THE DARK MAGE?!??!? I've faced him twice and haven't gotten a single point of damage. Magic has no effect, attacks have no effect.... SHEESH!

[Shaddow]

Kill his flunkies first, then you can tear him up, but not with magic, he is immune.

[Fleta]

Amazing work Orias. When can we expect the next part? I'm dying to get to the third area!

[Orias Obderhode]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! You can actually reach the third area with the current demo you're playing. With Cardial cleared, if you head back to Erdrich Castle, the king will give you some information that'll lead to the third region.

However, I'm in the process of putting the finishing touches on the last demo. I imagine the last demo for the game will be released sometime early next week.

[Shaddow]

That's so incredible! You put me to shame with how quickly you are getting this done! Can't wait to play it though!

Oops. In my excitement over getting the sea devil and recovering the world I completely forgot about the king (lol). I was wondering how you planned on getting the third shard into the game...

Any update on the time frame?

[Magical_RuNE_Kni...]
