| new planar structure in RtA
all the bonus rounds in RtA are not neccesary to the main quest.. i found it best to leave the side quests until just before the finale of RtA.. Smush and the other side quest bosses are much more beatable once you are up to level 27+.
the big side quest is collecting all 11 bloodstones (one from each side arena) and besting 5 bosses in a row at the end of nightmare passage... since you can't drop quest items from inventory and you are limited to 64 (different) items in each invetory panel, it is not a great idea to pick up the bloodstones until you are ready to go after nightmare passage.. if you best the 5 bosses you are "a true champion" and you are free to collect innoruk's sword (or fist) located near the start of the plane of valor.. a nice weapon for couagous and champion levels..
there is also a quest to get bloodvine for sylea again.. but you have to beat the bonus round soul break (plane of torment) to find sylea...the reward is she bites your ear so you can wear 2 earrings.. the bloodvine is in the castle so wait 'till you discover sylea before going back to the castle if you want to go for all the goodies...........good luck.....jcn  |
