Character Type:

Type: Fighting Class (Fighter / Paladin / Barbarian / Fighter Combo Etc…)

* Weapon progression and armor are designed to progress around the fighter class or fighter / combo.

Game Appeal:

This is a game designed around storyline, exploration, questing, puzzle solving and progression in order to reach the end goal. It is also designed to challenge your creative thinking when dealing with the multitude of puzzles and or fights, which you will need to solve in order to reach the end game. For those that take realism too seriously, where it bothers you to find hidden gold or a potion behind an old house, this game is not for you. This game will reward those who search and check every nook and cranny. And the more you find, the easier the game gets because the extra resources buys better items or much needed potions.

This is not pure hack-n-slash either because the art of pulling single mobs or beating boss mobs through a variety of different methods or weapons comes heavily into play. Consider this a Zelda style game on steroids!

Most of the game is designed around custom characters, mobs, items and the world itself. There was a lot of creativity that went into that part of the game for the enjoyment of the gamer.

Lastly, this game will challenge even good gamers. But if you are the chosen one to save your world, shouldn’t it be challenging? Don’t give up if you are having a tough situation. Keep pushing forward and save often.

Game Setting:

You are the direct bloodline and sibling of the Hero that discovered "The Kingdom of Crystals". At a young age, you had an interest in archaeology and have mastered the ability of discovery. Your work over the years has adorned the HeavensGateMuseum with many valuable and rare artifacts. Prince Valian, Ruler of present day HeavensGate, considers you a very close friend and trusted companion.

Your Fathers' disappearance three months ago still haunts you to this day. Recently you have been asking Prince Valian to help you set up a meeting with Lord Arameth, Ruler of the distant island city called St. Lorion, in hopes of tracing the path your Father took and rediscovering the truths behind why he went missing. The last letter you received from your Father was stamped at St Lorion. You can not help but to wonder if Lord Arameth or some of the citizens there might know some details about your Father's disappearance.

Last night, Prince Valian received an urgent message from Lord Arameth via the Magician's transcribe orbs, that there has been some sort of an invasion on St. Lorion Island. He mentioned something about undead soldiers and spirits coming by the hundreds and a massive abnormality as their leader. They swarmed the city and invaded the Temple of Holy Sanctity. Many people died trying to defend the invasion.

It seems that a series of old magic scrolls known as the "Secta Phantom Scrolls" were stolen and taken away. It was said that as soon as the scrolls were taken, the Undead Army turned and marched away, vanishing into the mist. What remained of them were just piles of spirit dust and bone from the ones that were slain during the invasion. The grounds of St. Lorion were also stained red from the fallen citizens trying to defend the life they once knew as safe.

There must be a terrible reason why those scrolls were taken. Legend has it that the scrolls can not be destroyed because of their binding magic, but that is the only positive light you can shed on the situation. These recent events urge you to find out the facts behind why this Undead Army invaded St. Lorion.

At this point, it seems unclear what has caused this uprising of evil. From your brief schooling of ancient wizardry, you figure it must be connected with lich magic or powerful necromancy in order to bring the dead bones or spirits back to life.

You need to make your way to the Royal Chambers and talk with Prince Valian and learn of any recent news of St Lorion.

HeavensGate 2: Walk-Through:

* SPOILER ALERT *

The information beyond this point will solve the game for you. Only use this information if you absolutely get stuck and can not figure something out. Trying to outsmart the game should be part of the fun.

Master Bedroom

*It is recommended that you play this game at level three the first time you experience it. Start a new character from scratch, and as you spawn into the game for the first time (Master Bedroom), turn around and walk toward the mirror on the floor. It will gain you 6500 experience and get you to level three.

First thing is to open the desk and loot all the items. The book tells the story of the current events and explains who you are and what is going on recently. The token map shows you which areas contain the secret tokens. (See bottom of the walk-through, under “Secret Tokens”) The token bag is to store your tokens in while you quest so you can keep track of which ones you have, and needed for the final turn-in. You also have a summons from Prince Valian to go see him in the Royal Chambers, which is the first simple quest in the game to complete.

Merrit the Game Guide

Merrit is there to help get the player started who might not have read this information first. He is there to answer some initial questions about getting started with game settings, game play and how to turn in the secret tokens.

HeavensGate First Time

It is a good idea before you go see the Prince, to loot all that you can around HeavensGate. Start in a circle and then do the center so you do not miss anything. Items, crates and barrels are all around for the taking. It is important to build up resources and improve weapons or armor when gold permits. When gold permits, go see the Traveling Merchant and buy a rope, shovel and pry bar. Dirt piles (shovel needed) store extra items as well as things to pry over (pry bar) throughout the game. The rope will gain you access to cliffs or deep holes to climb down. All of these can offer extra rewards in the game and can really pay-off. You will also need these items to advance further into the game later on.

Secret Token HeavensGate: Go to the western wall and look for some stairs leading up to a platform. Up on top you will see a bunch of crates. Hidden behind the crates is a small transition area that leads down into a room. You will need a rope (purchased off the Traveling Merchant) in order to climb down and get the token.

Once you are done exploring the city, go see Prince Valian in the Southwest region in HeavensGate inside the Royal Chamber.

Royal Chambers

Talk to Prince Valian and get the sewers quest. Head to the sewers and start your first major quest. But first, did you find the hidden gem somewhere in the Royal Chambers? Don’t forget to search all possible areas for hidden stuff. Over the length of the entire game, it really adds up to a profitable amount.

City Sewers

When coming out of the Royal Chambers, the City Sewer map note will show up on the map. Go up to the entrance and use the key that the Prince gave you. You can now get inside the sewers. Inside, you will notice a door straight ahead. This door is locked and can only be opened by a floor lever found elsewhere. Head right, down the hall and around the corner, until you see a crate. When you get to the crate, look right, you should see a small crawl-hole that is somewhat hidden. Go into the crawl hole and loot the secret token for the City Sewers. Continue east to the far hallway and flip the floor lever once. Head back to the door by the entrance, which is now unlocked, and head into the pump room. In the pump room, clear the rats on the platform until you kill one named a “Stuffed Rat”. Loot the mysterious note on him and read the riddle, ”Where blood spills, the key reveals”. Next head to the southeast corner until you see a red arrow on the ground. Step past the red arrow and discover the hidden room. Step into the pool of blood to compress a trigger which will spawn a secret crate on the platform in the pump room. Take the portal back out and loot the key found within the secret crate. This key will get you into the last room where the boss is found. Make you way down the top hallway and open the boss’s door. Kill Rabies, the King of the Rats. Loot the chest to find the Prince’s Sealed Note. Return to the Prince to complete your quest and gain experience.

WindCrestIsland

After seeing Karl at his magic shop, he asks for you to do him a favor and head to WindCrestIsland to search for a rare plant called a “Shimmer Fern”. You will need to dig up its root, which is what Karl needs to complete one of his rare potions. Go talk to Captain Stoley on the docks and he will take you to WindCrestIsland.

Once on WindCrestIsland, head east and clear the mobs all the way around the coastline. Make sure to loot all of the rare seashells by the water all the way around the island. These will sell for extra gold.

Once you are due east, look for a large set of boulders on the inner island. Around the corner from these boulders you should see a small crawl hole on the ground. Head inside to the secret cave. Once in the secret cave, pick through the fungus patches until you find the chest key. Use the key to open the chest and loot your secret token for WindCrestIsland.

Make your way north until you see the water well and head inside. Once inside, kill the Water Oozes until you see a rope coil. Loot the rope. If you already have purchased the rope from the vendor you can sell one back. You will need this rope to climb the cliffs for the next part.

From the well, head southwest until you see a tall palm tree by the cliffs. Step into the inlet of the cliff and you will lasso the large cactus on top of the cliff, pulling you upward. Once there, make your way around that tier until you see another cactus on top of the cliff near the west side. Step close to the cliff again to lasso yourself upward to the top of the island. Here you must confront Tank, King of the Island. Kill and loot his corpse. On the other side of the rocks you will find your rare quest plant, the Shimmer Fern. Loot it and get the Shimmer Root for Karl.

Head back down the cliffs the same way you got up there. Then make your way around to the western edge of the island, looting and killing all that you can. Once you reach the ship, head back to Karl and complete the quest.

Warehouse / Shipping Docks

Karl sends you on the second quest to the Shipping Docks area of the city. Head to the Shipping Docks. Along the way you will pass a door to a storage unit. If you have done an armor upgrade, attempt to clear this room now. It will net you some experience and decent gold. Be ready to face four rats inside. If it is too tough at this point, you can do this part after clearing the Flooded Caverns. Head inside the warehouse, and talk to Ringo. Get the quest to enter the Flooded Caverns. Before you enter the Flooded Caverns, it is best to do the following:

In the warehouse, head to the door that leads to the Shipping Docks. When you see the desk with papers on it, get behind the crates and find the secret crawl hole. Enter it to find the secret room and the secret token for the Shipping Docks.

Next, head outside to the Shipping Docks. Come straight out from the door and head to the docks. A rogue will sneak up from behind and start harassing you. He will then take 40 gold pieces from your pocket. You will have an option to either let him go or kill him on the spot. If you kill him, you not only gain experience, you get to loot 100+gold from him, profiting from the kill. Loot everything you can around the Shipping Docks, then head back inside and enter the Flooded Caverns.

Flooded Caverns

* Before entering the Flooded Caverns, you should have enough gold to buy a weapon or armor upgrade. It is not a bad idea to do one or both if you can afford it.

Once inside the Flooded Caverns, clear and kill the mobs the best you can. When you come across the two Goblins together on the bridge, try and use your skills to pull them one at a time. Together they are tough but it IS possible to pull them single. One of the mobs stands slightly further out than the other one. As a note, if the Rock Goblin stuns you just walk back in a safe direction until it comes off. You can still walk, you just can not fight. Continue on past the bridge, and you will encounter two tough casting mobs together, a Water Demon and an Unstable Oxygen. Wipe them out, use potions if you have to, and then move on until you come to the next set of bridges. Stay north until you see the giant Dragon Guardian Statue. Head over to the East and into the room. Save your game before you enter this room. Ignore the gold beam of light for now.

Once inside the room, the door will shut and lock behind you. You have now entered the domain of the Construct of Elements and he is not happy. The trick to this fight is to avoid his floating eye, which will be wandering toward you constantly during the whole fight. The eye is slower, so you CAN avoid it but it is tricky. Sometime during the fight quickly loot the Dead Adventurer on the ground and gain an extra critical potion, it will come in handy. Basically run around the room in a big circle, gauging the distance that his Eye is from you at all times. Don’t get greedy, take one or two swings on the Construct, then move on again, distancing yourself from the Eye. Eventually you will kill the Construct and that will also kill his Eye. If you are blind during the fight, hang in there and keep a slow, wide circle going around the edge until light comes back on. Loot the Dragon Crown off of the Construct and head back out to the golden light beam.

Now if you messed with the Dragon Guardian Statue before this, you probably noticed you can not do anything to it. Matter of fact, if you try to bash it, you will take some serious electrical damage. The trick here is to put on the Dragon Crown, then walk into the solid beam of golden light in the center of the brick circle. When you hear the energy come to life around you, take notice all of the new gold beams of light now visible because of the Crown’s magic. Now that you can see the light beams, step into each one until the lightning gets discharged from the Dragon Guardian Statue. When you discharge enough electricity, the Dragon Statue will explode and disintegrate. Step beyond and into the little cove. Loot the secret token of the Flooded Caverns.

Now head back out and make your way west over the bridges. Clear all the mobs until you come to a part where you see some bones and a Slain Errand Boy on the ground. Be ready for a surprise attack from three mobs of any unknown combination. Slay them all and then proceed through the giant gate. You can also choose to ignore the trap by hugging the wall all the way around to the door, but will not get experience.

Find the water pump and click on it to add the fuel. Next, pull on the lever to start the water pump. This completes the quest. Make your way back around toward the gate and a courtesy return portal will spawn, allowing you to port back to the entrance. But before you take the port, did you loot the topaz gem on the back side of the water pump area? Remember to look everywhere…
