5. The Walk-Through
Introduction
Ecstatica is an extremely large game. This
walk-through is very cut and dry. If you follow it to
the letter you will miss out on a lot of the game. We
suggest using it only if you get stuck. so we wrote this
walk-through after finishing the game and while we
think we remember everything we might have made a
few mistakes. you should however get the general
idea of what to do. We also do not give exact
directions, use the map that came with the game
because we often refer to the names written on it.
Ecstatica II is a great game and trust us we know the
feeling of wanting to finish a game and how frustrating
it can get! But you will kick yourself afterwards if you
follow this walk-through completely.. anyway we
hope this helps..

FAQ
Q. Why can't I open the blue or red doors?
A. Because you haven't got far enough in the game.
Certain doors are unopenable until you collect certain
items or kill certain creatures.
Q. I have done all you told me to do. so why is my
explored % so low?
A. Well, most of this game is strictly un-necessary to
completing it. it is however a lot of fun.you will miss
out on a lot if you just follow this walk through.
Q. Whats the best way to kill the main monsters?
A. Usually when the main monsters appear there is a
couple of seconds break before they actually begin
to attack you. Use this time to get close to them and
hack them with your weapon. If they manage to
knock you back or you can't get close enough to hit
them with your weapon, magic does an equally
impressive job.
Q. I found a book. what do i do with it?
A. On the ground floor of the main hall, look for a
red locked door that is not easily visible. Go though it
when you are allowed to and go to the glowing place
on the shelf. Part of the bookcase will open up and
youwill be able to get to the lower levels. There is
however a locked blue door in the way. When you
can open it, explore!
The Complete Walk Through
You start off at the stocks, go to the Craftsmans
Guild bottom floor (go downwards from the stocks)
Get the sword that is leaning against some of the
blacksmiths tools. Goto the Guards Tower (refer to
the map), go straight to the top (there are some
interesting things along the way most of which you
can't get at YET!), watch for the trap near the top of
the tower to get past it stand next to the head which
the key is leaning on and hit it, get the key, open the
door, you will see two sets of stairs (use the stairs
that lead to the next tower), you will see an inactive
teleportation plate, go down the stairs which leads to
the bottom of the prison tower (the tallest tower), go
past the tower until you reach a closed portcullis and
get the armor which is floating there. Go back to the
prison tower and make your way up the stairs. Skip
the first locked door and make your way to the
second door, break it down and get the key from the
chest. Go back down to the locked door and set the
priestess free (she will assist you throughout the
game, often making annoying and obscure comments
:) go back up to the very top of the tower and pick
up the staff which is lying there (you don't have to use
it but you need to pick it up at least for some strange
reason).. go back down the tower.. hit the two
gargoyles heads and make your way to the
previously closed portcullis (which should now
open).. you might want to (not completely necessary)
walk down the stairs opposite the closed portcullis
and hit the gargoyles head there).. now you make
your way to the area known as the "attic".. (there is a
door which is hard to see on the top left corner of the
screen to the left of the closed portcullis. Walk in find
and hit the blue switch, then hit the blue lever
elsewhere.. this will open a portcullis in the attic
somewhere where you will find a blue key (which
opens the blue door).. hit one of the gargoyles heads
in the room past the blue door then hit the green lever
(next to the blue lever).. this opens up another
portcullis where you will find the purple key (which
opens the purple door).. hit the gargoyles head in the
purple room.. then go back and hit the red lever.. go
back to the blue door room and hit the second
gargoyles head.. which opens up two portcullises
also in that room. Find the silver sword behind one of
these opened portcullises. Leave the attic and go
down to the main courtyard (next to the well) hit the
big door behind the well (this leads into the main
hall).. if you search around the bottom floor of the
main hall you will find a three diamond weapon.. next
head upstairs part of the way up the stairs a shadow
warrior will appear kill him go back downstairs and
head up the other staircase and kill the second
shadow warrior who will drop the first fragment of
the eldersign (only 10 more to go!).. go up the right
staircase.. at the top of the stairs walk straight
ahead.. go through the left doorway and then walk
into the next room.. where you will find the warlock..
kill him and beware of the human enemies who flock
into the room.. go back the way you came and use
the crystal ball.. leave the main hall..
Head towards the right handside of the courtyard..
you will see a building there (near the bottom of the
guard tower) it is the stables.. find the horse and then
you will see a doorway in the upper left area of the
room.. go through this doorway.. and head down the
ladder..hit the gargoyles head go through the
portcullis and turn right downwards.. walk through
the tunnels (beware of the big vicious well guys) until
you find the drunk well guy.. pick up the pink bottle..
and go back to the well (in the courtyard).. walk
towards the guy on the well from the bottom of the
screen.. until he grabs the bottle out of your hand..
wait for a second or two.. and the guy will vanish..
head down the well.. find the three switchs .. hit
them.. and go through the big door.. where you will
find some treasure and magic weapons etc.. get out
of the well (the way you came for now..) .. walk
downwards from the well and go through the door
left of the horse.. head up the stairs and into the 2nd
level of the craftsmens guild.. find the ladder leading
upwards and climb it.. find a 2nd ladder and climb it
(this leads to the roof) go up the stairs to the top of
the chimney.. fall into the chimney and you will get
teleported.. find the catacombs.. find two flashing
skulls (you can only take one at a time).. when you
find one go out of the catacombs and up the stairs
until you find a big locked door with skulls on
pedestals.. walk up to one of the empty pedestals
and the prince will place the skull on it.. go back for
the 2nd one.. then go back down.. and go through
the left entrance to the catacombs.. and continue to
go leftwards whenever possible.. until you find stairs
going downwards.. these lead you into another room
with a large pondin the middle.. walk to the edge of
the pond until you find the flashing dots.. they form
stepping stones as you walk across them (go slowly
because its easy to fall in!).. when you get to the
other side there is a magic sword to the right and a
doorway underneath a skull.. go through the door..
and get the third and final flashing skull.. go back to
the room with the pedestals and place the skull on
the final one.. the door will open.. go through and get
the ring from the skeleton sitting on the throne and
get the small cross.. and get the 2nd piece of the
eldersign.. You can now open the doors with the red
dots on them..
Head back to the room you first teleported to.. use
the crystal ball.. and then open the red dot door.. this
will lead you back to the well.. climb out of the well..
either get some boots (try above the stables) or just
try and jump over the yellow glowing stuff which is
blocking an entrance downwards from the well.. hit
the gargoyles head in that room.. and then return to
the courtyard.. head up the stairs to the left of the
hospital tower and open the red door to get a 4
diamond axe.. then head towards the big portcullis
(which will now open) just to the right of the well..
this leads to the drawbridge of the castle.. hit the
lever in there.. which will open the drawbridge.. go
out of the castle.. go down once and go left through
some bushes.. then go straight.. and find the
graveyard.. you will automatically open the gate using
the little cross.. go to the back of the graveyard and
find the entrance to an underground tomb.. here you
will find permanent armor.. next head to the church in
the graveyard.. and hit the candle at the left end.. go
down the stairs into an underground passage which
takes you into part of the garden.. you will see a
piece of the eldersign at the beginning of the garden
which you can't reach YET.. explore the garden until
you find the clearing with the amazon people (DO
NOT go the the village yet unless you have a
deathwish).. kill the amazon people and head to the
top left.. this will bring you into a cave.. head to the
top exit.. and kill the Sorceress.. get the ring then go
back out into the clearing and collect the nearby
eldersign piece (top right of the screen).. go back
into the cave and teleport back out.. you can now
open the blue doors.
Now you can go and get the best weapon in the
game! (well the best that we found anyway).. it is
located on the 2nd to top level.. break down the blue
door and hey presto a 5 diamond golden sword.. Go
to screen on the right of the well screen and climb the
steps on the side of the guard tower.. Go past the
swinging axe and into the room and out onto the
ledge.. Go to the door to the max left and into the
room with the bombs. Go through it and up the steps
on the side of the tower. Watch out for the bombs!
Go through the blue door and pass through the
passage right next to the blue door.. Climb the steps
until you reach the top of the tower. You will see an
item protected by spinning globes.. you need to kill
the wizard before you can get to it.. go through the
door in the upper left and you will reach the top of
the tower.. walk around the top until the wizard
appears and kill him.. go back and get the item.. go
out the door on this level (to the top right of the
screen) and find the 2nd set of armor.. go down one
flight of stairs and find the exit to the side of the
tower. it is on the right of the screen. go through the
blue door and get the next piece of the eldersign.. go
down to the second last level of the tower and walk
outside through the doorway with the skull.. find the
crystal ball and use it.. take the teleport and go to the
village (turn right and take the high road).. find the
well and locate the house with the open ledge facing
it. Go up and take a running jump into the well. Go
through the door and find an important item. now that
the people have been restored go to the church and
use the crystal ball. follow the directions the people
of the town give you to reach the hunter's lodge. Find
the room with the stuffed bear. Hit it and go the other
room. Go to the fire place and get the lantern. go
back to the plant you could not kill before and get
the piece of the eldersign go back to the village and
find the pond. Go past it and into the forest. find the
old ruin and go through the teleport. Jump up to the
doorway visible in the top left. go through to the
teleport. You are now in the necromancer's domain.
go up and up again past the inactive crystal ball.
follow the path to the necromancer's room. kill him
and get the sixth piece (it is up and to the left). you
now have all the items you need to go the final part of
the game, the dark tower. find the teleport that has a
checkered feel to it. save it here. go through the
teleport. You are now in the dark tower and need to
move it because the clock is ticking! Can't help you
any more. however, you don't need to open every
chest to make it to the next level. play it once,
exploring and reload and do it again effectively. the
final piece and the code scroll are in the first normal
level you come across. find them fast before you
move on. the next level has the Archmage. kill him
and you are done!
