Overview
Note: When you first approach the Giantwoods, the guardians near the entrance will warn you about magical seals, which have the power to release a "terrible tempest" in the area if they're broken. There are three seals (at #11, #14, and #20) but as of version 1.1.01 nothing in the game will change if you break them or not.
Another Note: While in the Giantwoods, you can acquire three
Moonstones (at #1, #7, and #10). If you do so, then in Chapter 2 you'll be able to give them to Dr. Dampf in the
Secret Lair and receive
Koschei's Tear in return. Finding the three
Moonstones is also one of the secrets for the chapter.
1 - Corpse
When you click on the dead man here, his spirit will begin talking to you, and he'll ask you to take away his
Moonstone, which will free his soul. If you do as the spirit asks, then you'll get attacked by an Ice Fiend, but you'll get to keep the
Moonstone.
2 - Ghost Soldier
The Ghost Soldier will give you the quest
The Curse.
3 - Carcass Pit
The carcass pit here is involved in the quest
Free the Merchant. If you click on the pit (three times) before accepting the quest, then you'll have to fight a Dark Spirit and several of her minions. If you wait until after accepting the quest to click on the pit, then you'll notice that a
Runestone is missing, which will give you a chance to find it (at #6). The
Runestone is one of the secrets for the chapter.
4 - Traveling Merchant
The merchant will give you the quest
Free the Merchant.
5 - Spiritwalker Elder / Altar
At this spot you'll meet a Spiritwalker Elder. He's involved in the quest
Free the Merchant. Next to the elder is an altar with some skulls on top of it. If you click on the skulls, then you'll find a
Dungeonkeeper Amulet, which is one of the secrets for the chapter. The Spiritwalkers won't care if you take it.
6 - Camp
The merchant (#4) will move here once you've completed the quest
Free the Merchant.
7 - Corpses
On one of the five corpses here you'll find a
Moonstone, but when you pick it up you'll get attacked by Ice Daemons.
8 - Giant Camp
At this camp you'll get attacked by Mad Gorazd and several Giants and Giantesses.
9 - Human Bones
In the bone pile here you'll find the
Spiritwalker Idol (quest item), which you might need for the quest
The Curse. If you've already completed
The Curse, then you'll find the
Spiritwalker Idol (trophy) instead.
10 - Adept of Perun
The adept will give you the quest
Gate of Perun.
11 - Gate of Perun
The gate is involved in the quest
Gate of Perun. Next to the gate, you'll find a
Daedalus Manuscript in a crate. The manuscript will turn into a relic the next time you visit the
Secret Lair.
12 - Bridge
When you cross this bridge for the first time, you'll get attacked by a giant beast named Yugaroth. You'll find a treasure chest here as well.
13 - Stone Heads
After defeating the nearby Spiritwalker Elder Champion plus its entire retinue, when you approach the two stone heads here, they'll criticize your monster-hunting skills, but then they'll reward you with some
Masterfully Botched Armor. "That's what they call monster hunting these days?"
14 - Spiritwalker Totem / Drums
The Spiritwalker totem is involved in the quest
The Curse. Meanwhile, if you click on any five of the seven drums here, then you'll "prove the existence of the yeti," which is one of the secrets for the chapter.
15 - Christmas Tree
You'll find four treasure chests around the Christmas tree here, plus a gift-giving domovoy. "Let's pretend that we saw nothing. Right?"
16 - Black Knight
Meeting the Black Knight is one of the secrets for the chapter. You'll find a treasure chest next to the knight. "It's just a scratch!"
17 - Mr. Bellow Smash Jr.
Smash will sell you an odd collection of items, including some quest items from the first game. The items with non-obvious uses are listed below:
18 - Giant Idol
The Giant Idol will block you from climbing to the top of the mountain. To appease it, you'll need to visit the stone heads surrounding the mountain and answer their questions. The questions and answers are listed below:
- Which is the strongest? Stone.
- What has roots that you can't see? Mountain.
- What sort of stones do you find in a river? Wet stones. You'll have to fight at the end of this question no matter what you say.
- What is taller than trees? Mountain.
- What goes up and up but never grows? Mountain.
Regardless of how you did on the quiz, when you return to the Giant Idol, he'll allow you to continue up the mountain. But if you got all of the questions right, then he'll also give you a
Greater Petrified Essence.
19 - Adept of Perun
The adept will try to stop you from reaching Perun's prison, but you shouldn't have much trouble defeating him.
20 - Perun's Prison
You'll need to free Perun from his prison here or work with the Adepts of Perun instead. See the quest entry for
Power of Perun for more information.
