Might & Magic VIII

Here you will find answers to the most commonly encountered problems in the game. Spoiler warning!

 

 

What is the best starting character?

At the Guild of Dark, we recommend all adventurers to start with a necromancer, due to their powerful magical capabilities. A necromancer will master all the elemental spells and the powerful dark magic spells. A dark elf might be another option, if you want to sacrifice some of your spell casting abilities to get a better fighter.

 

Where is the Idol of the Snake?

Remember, it's the sixth plate, not the fourteenth! In the Abandoned Temple there is a room with lots of rectangular plates on the floor, highlighted in red. Step on #2 in the middle from the N wall, and the secret is revealed.

 

Where is Cauri?

You can find Cauri Blackthorne in Murmurwoods, NNW of the Druid Circle, the coordinates are x = 15555, y = 15222.

 

How do I unstone Cauri?

You need to have a Stone to Flesh scroll in your inventory. Simply click on the statues to unstone them. You can get scrolls from Dantillion in the town or in magic shops.

 

How do I destroy the Skeleton Transformer?

If you're even just thinking of destroying it, this is not a place for you! True followers of darkness will never ally with the Temple of Light!

 

What to do in the Temple of Light?

Kill everything! Let no lightwalker live! You have to bring Dyson Leland and make him find a hidden switch on one of the walls upstairs. A hidden passage below the altar will open and you can fry even more clerics!

 

How do I get the obelisk treasure?

First you need to find all the obelisks. There is one on every overland map. Then you will have to kill the unicorn king! He appears in Murmurwoods on midsummer's day, June 24 about 9:30 am NW of the poisoned well. Feel free to kill all other unicorns as well! It's fun!

 

Where are Korbu's remains?

His coffin is in his tomb N in Ravage Roaming, his remains are in Cyclops Larder in the Ironsand Desert.

 

How do I get to Regna?

First you need to complete the alliance quests. Then you need to go to Dagger Wounds Islands, to the pirates outpost on an island just SE of the main island. Fight your way through and you're there!

 

How can I sink the Regnan fleet?

There is a cannon to the North, just besides the pirate keep. However to get the cannonball, you will have to enter the stronghold on the central island, make your way down to lower level and enter the tunnels before you fight your way through to the chest with the cannonball inside.

 

Where is the lost book of Khel?

It's in the Uplifted Library SE of Dagger Wound Islands.

 

What are the answers to Escaton's riddles?

The answers can be found in the library in the basement of the Merchants Guild in Ravenshore. The answers are prison, inside, egg.

 

Where is the Heart of Fire?

The heart of fire can be found in the Castle of Fire. You have to jump onto the pillar, then return to the entrance, where the elevator now has been lowered.
