Destard

-Silver Seed (Submitted by Whitedog)
While i was in Destard, in the Cult's library room, i looked into the glass case with the maps, and a grey shape inside. I couldnt find out what the grey thing was until i used the flying cheat to go between the glass. When i did, the grey shape highlighted 'Silver Seed'. Also if you stand and look directly down at it, it is shaped just like a fat sunflower seed.

-How do I find Destard?
There is an ICE covered hole in the snowy mountains East of the village and Southeast of the Glyph Tower. You will have to do a little climbing. 4 fireball spells or one "Bolt of Flame" will melt the ice. Jump in!

-Abyss Bug Warning

"The Deamon Pentagram in Destard, if used will also transport you into the Abyss from there you continue as normal ... until you exit at which time you don't have a ride waiting. Bit of a pain, so unless you want to use the fly big to escape (and if you are going to use it why not just fly into the Isle of the Avatar in the first place) there isn't a way off the island. I didn't know that there was a "Shamino" bug, as such I just assumed that all of the components existed somewhere (whcih they do) and I remembered the deamon's Pentagram in Destard.... The first thing I knew that something was wrong was when LB teleported me away onto the isle.... stranding me there with no transportation.

-The word of Power?
The word of power in Destard is "Inopia" It's in a book near a corpse in one of the rooms.

-Where can I find the severed Dragon's Head?
After you place all 5 egg shells, you will meet up with a dragon...

-Locations of egg shells.

Red: To the North past the dragon egg nursery cavern.
Green: In a Wyrmguard room, click the painting on the left, with the swords. (it's slightly crooked on the wall)
Yellow: In the Lich chamber.
Blue: In the spider cavern west of the large fountain cavern.
White: Given to you by Adreanna the ghost when you give her Darim's journal.

--== Mostly Linear Walkthrough ==--

-Spanky's Notes
Destard is where you get the head of a Red Dragon for the Knights in Valoria. To get to her (the dragon is a she), you have to collect 5 egg fragments and place them on the pedestals around the forcefield.

Entering

After falling in from the ice hole, you appear in a large cavern wth dragon head statues. The only way out is North.

The next cavern holds a fragmented Dragon egg in the center surrounded by a red forcefield. In order to remove the field, you have to collect 5 egg fragments and place them on the pedestals around it. On the Northwest corner there is a chest with an orange potion and another skull. To the North there is a tunnel blocked off by a forcefield. Head to the cavern on the West with the Hell Hounds.

On the West wall there is a chest with a charm scroll. Next to it is a switch plate on the floor. Place something on the switchplate. It will reveal a passageway to the North. Go North!

Dragon Egg Nursery

To kill the guardian protecting the eggs, use your special attacks with Iolo's Bow. On a red pedestal to the North past the eggroom, is the Red Egg Fragment. Grab it! Leave and head back South. To the center chamber near the entrance. (I fell into an abyss here so save and reload before hand)

Place the Red Egg Fragment on it's pedestal. To tell which one, stand next to a pedestal, You will glow the color Red. Thats the one! When you're done, head to the East cavern.

East Cavern

The South part of the East cavern is blocked off by a forcefield. This is the Red Dragon's treasure room. You will have access to this place after you kill her. On the North end, with all the rats, go there!

There is a man being trapped by rats here. Kill the rats and talk to him. He tells you about a key. You will find the "Destard Key" near a body on a stalagmite... not far from him actually. Click on the man and release him.

Further North you meet a Adreanna. She's looking for her husband Darim. Offer to help her. There is a teleported near her... ignore it for now.

Glyph Chamber

From Adreanna the ghost, Head East and hop across th lava and meet with the Wyrmguard. The glyph is here. Grab it!. Hop back West towards the ghost lady and jump in the teleporter to the North.

Wyrmguard Hideout (Xarnthal's Hideout)

As you enter the hideout, you meet Dartane of the Wyrmguard. Kill him after you talk to him, and kill his buddy. Head North past the flaming dragon statue.

In the first cell to your right, there's a Red Skull and a gold key on the floor. Grab them! There is a switch plate on the floor that will let you out. Place something on it and leave.

Head throught the door at the end of the hallway and kill the 3 Wyrmguards. The Painting on the left, with the swords, is slightly crooked on the wall. Touch it! Kill the Wyrmguard inside and take the Green Egg Fragment. There is a secret door here too. Inside are a pair of Wyrmguard leggings. Go back out into the main room with the archery target.

There is a door on the East and South walls. Head South and grab that oil flask if you havn't allready got one. Go to the door on the East.

There is a Wyrmguard Chest here if you don't have anything better. Head out and go down the West hallway.

There is a fountain here with healing properties. In the next room, grab the key in the center and continue North.

When you come to a T, take a right into the cavern. There is a dead body on the ground with a book. Read the book, 'inopia', head back to the T and continue ahead.

4 Dragon Heads and 2 Pentagrams

This room is a bit dark. You might want to produce a light source while your here.

Step on the two switch plates on the floor. The 1st one raises a pedestal in the center with a button on top, and the other spawns 3 zombies. A button appears on a pentagram on the wall. Hit the button on the wall and the button on the pedestal. If you killed a Zombie ontop of the button on the pedestal. Wait till the blood spot disappears revealing the button. Continue North.

Darim's Journal

When you come to another T with a painting of a pentagram on the wall, head right (South). As you walk...to the left there is a small red pentagram on the wall, directly across it is a secret door. Inside, grab the gold key on the spider's web. You can get back out by climbing up the barrel. Leave and head back to the T with the painting of the Pentagram and continue ahead.

On the left there is a small room with a skull in the North wall. Look on the floor for a book. It's Darim's Journal. Grab it! Touch the skull on the wall and a path is revealed. Go there!

You wll run into a demon, kill it (or run past it) and continue East. When you get to the T, go right (South)!

The next room, you have to push the stone switch plate on the North wall. When you do, a door to the East opens up. Go There!

Head down, The black hallway with the skulls.

Lich Chamber

This chamber is dark so grab a lantern or something. (Watch out for the red bats! When they get close, wack em.)

A Lich will appear when you get close to the center of the room. There is a gold key under the stairs to the East. Grab the Bone Helm on the Northeast corner. There are Bone Boots on the Northwest corner. When your finished, head to the door on the North wall.

Another Lich is here... really easy to kill too! When he's done, the Yellow Egg Fragment will appear. Grab it! When your done, head back to where you killed that last demon in that tiny room and take the North passage.

Large Fountain Chamber

As you enter the fountain chamber (the fountain restores health when you drink from it), there are passages going West, North and East. Head West and wack the Wyrmguard. In the chest uphead, you will find the Red Candle to go along with the Red Skull you found earlier. The key for the chest is in one of the crates there.

In the next cavern you will meet 2 miners and a Wyrmguard. If you have room in your backpack, there are lots of gems to be had. Head back to the Fountain cavern and take the East passage.

"There is a lever on the south wall behind some rocks. It moves the rocks out of the way and leads down to a water filled cavern. You can kill the fish with an arrow or rock. Then swim to and climb onto the dead body to open the chest. The chest contains 2 mana potions, a diamond, an emerald, and a war axe."

-Bob Poage

The Blue Egg Fragment is here. Grab it! Leave this place and head back to the foutain Cavern. Take the North passage.

(I crashed here once with a direct draw error. Save beforehand!) You will meet a large statue face. It will ask you for the Word of Power. " inopia" It opens the outer passage to Destard at the Village. This will be your exit later on.

Head back towards the Fountain Cavern, back down the Southern passage and go past where you killed that last demon.

When you get to the T, take a left. You willl enter a room with pillars and candles. Theres is a room blocked by a forcefield.

Inside Xarenthals Hideout

"To disable the forcefield... hit the green buttons on the two pillars on the left and right of it. Next: Go into each room that is on the left and right and press the green buttons that are above the door. Enter the room. Don't talk to any of the monks here, they don't talk back.

There is a book on the altar in front of the 2 dragon statues... take it... it tells you how to summon a demon.

The door between the statues is locked... to unlock...

Walk out of the "temple" and head back to the passage way, pass the two small room and at the T junction. The dark room with the pentagram should be right infront of you with the "temple" to your back. Now take the left passage (or south) and follow the path , turn at the bend and you should see a small pentagram at the right wall. Well the hidden door is at the opposite side. Open the door and you should find the key hanging in spider-web. Grab and go back to the "temple". The door between the two statues should be unlocked!

-Anthony Ho

After you get the key, return to the door, open, and enter. There will be a red pentagram and a statue... touch the statue and it will move. Inside is the Demon Skull that's needed to summon a demon... you should already have the Red Skull and Red Candle.

Exit this room back to the main hall with the monks and go left through the door, you will run in an alchemist. (She's useless so don't pay any attention to her.) To her immediate right, left of the crystal on the table is the Flask of Blood. It's kind of in the back behind the still, 1 item left to summon.

Go up the stairs and enter the door on the other side where you will interact with a monk, tell her what she wants to hear then enter the door to the left of her. (Not the one down a small hall, its locked and even though I had 5 keys it wouldn't unlock for me.)

There will be some chests and a display case... one chest has the Red Orb. We have all five items! Exit, and go to the room with the 4 pillars and red pentagram across from where the forcefield used to be.

Place the Red Skull, Red Candle, Flask of Blood, and the Red Orb on the pillars then place the Demon's Head on the pentagram, the demon will come with some hellhounds, kill him and you get the Scroll of Demon Summonning."

-John Zapf

Leave and head back to the egg cavern near the entrance at the beginning and give the journal to the Adreanna the Ghost on your right as you go through the teleporter. She gives you the White Egg Fragment.

Place your egg fragments on the pedestals. When you're done, head North to the Talornia's chamber.

When you talk to the dragon, be aggressive and kill her. Iolo's bow will do the trick. Grab her head and head out. The forcefield in the East cavern is removed allowing you access to the dragon's treasure lair. You will find the Chests of the Troll, some money, leather gauntlets, and some bracelets.

From the treasure lair, head North to the Adreanna the ghost near the teleporter. After you speak to her, jump on the teleporter and make your way to the exit where you spoke the Word of Power.

When your out of Destard Meet up with Raven in Britain at the docks and set sail back to Valoria.
