General Tips

Where do I exchange my money from Shapeir?

• Once you exit from Kreesha's house, walk down the stairs to the lower plateau off to the west.
• This takes you to the Middle Bazaar. Exit northwest from this area and you will enter the North end of the Bazaar.
• Here you can find the Money Changer of Tarna.

How do I earn a living?

• You'll have some money from Shapeir. Exchange these at the Money Changer's in the north end of the Bazaar. This will help you get started.
• You are Rakeesh and Kreesha's guest while in Tarna; so room and meals at the Welcome Inn are free. A guest hut will be provided at the Simbani village as well.
• To buy things from the merchants in the bazaar, or pills from the Apothecary, you will need money though.
• Bargaining with the merchants will enable you to buy at lower prices and make your dough last longer.
• Sometimes if you give people something they need, they may be willing to give you their wares for free, in return.
• A few monsters around Tarna carry some cash with them. These include Crocs, Leopardmen, and Apemen. This is your main source for replenishing your funds.
• If you're near the city of Tarna, the Crocs hang around the river.
• Leopardmen and Apemen carry more cash, but they are found only in the jungle and are much harder to defeat.
• A thief has other options, but mostly these are too dangerous or not worth it. He can try to sneak some coins from the drummer's bowl in the bazaar, but he won't get a lot that way. While burgling the Laibon's hut and the Leopardmen Leader's hut though, he can find some treasure.

Where can I sleep at night?

• In Tarna, sleep in your room at the Welcome Inn.
• In the Simbani Village, there's a guest hut that you can use.
• Besides that, in the savanna or the jungle, you can sleep just about anywhere.
• However, it's a good idea to set up camp and light a fire; otherwise you will at the mercy of the night creatures. To do this, click on the REST icon from the special icons bar while the overhead map is up. When prompted, answer yes to making a fire. Then use your tinderbox.
• The Pool of Peace, south of the Simbani Village, and the Heart of the World in the Giant Tree are two excellent places for undisturbed and refreshing slumber. At the latter of these two, you can replenish your health, stamina and mana, even with an hour's rest.

How do I talk to people?

• Click the TALK icon on your character and others. This will bring up a list of things to talk about.
• Select what you want and hold the conversation of your choice.

• By talking with many people in Tarna, you will learn that a peace mission was ambushed and destroyed. Rakeesh's daughter is now missing. The Simbani villagers want to declare war upon the Leopardmen. The Leopardmen are attacking everyone who enters the jungle.
• A Demon Wizard is behind the scenes, manipulating everyone in order to start a huge war and avenge himself upon Rakeesh. Once the war is started, the death energy released will allow the armies of Demons to cross into this world, and destroy all living creatures.
• Your mission is to bring peace to this land and force the Demon Wizard back to his own world.

City of Tarna

How do I find my way around Tarna?

• Tarna is divided into two sections. The eastern section, inhabited by Liontaurs, does not permit entry of humans; so you will not be able to enter there. The western section is where the game action takes place.
