It was yet another day of screwing around in Two Worlds. I first finished off the duplicate mage quest, though the solution didn’t really please either of them. I popped up to the Karga camp and easily got the relic frame for the main quest since they’re now pleased with me after wiping out their enemies. I also stopped by the nearby Karga cave and found “The Cure” there. No, not the band, but a barrel-like container. Unless they’re inside it… In any case, I don’t even know what it’s for yet.

I went to the city of Qudinar for the first time to turn in a couple quests that needed me to go there, explored the city a bit, and picked up more side quests. I then spent some time running back and forth and around in Cathalon to complete some of the side quests there, too. None of which were really all that remarkable, and most just required finding and talking to the right people.

I then wandered around the map, exploring more roads and smaller areas that I’d skipped before. In one cave I discovered dead knights, an annoying new enemy that constantly kicks dirt in your face (this is not the beach!) which keeps you from attacking or defending yourself for a few seconds. I also revisited the old boar cave and the tower I had discovered early in the game, easily dispatching the monsters that I couldn’t scratch before. The cyclops at the tower had a couple of decent rings on him, at least.

Since I was wandering down that road anyway, I stopped at the second Thalmont Node and had another telepathic conversation with my sister, who went on and on about the relic and how it’s not just a myth and blah blah blah… Nothing all that important in the end, really. Just point at whoever needs their head lopped off.

I also found a cave on the western side of the map with even more new enemies, tuloks and demons, and they completely kicked my ass, usually killing me in one hit. Apparently I’ve still got some growing to do.

And I was finally let into the village of Gorelin, though there wasn’t really much there aside from a few shady merchants and one NPC for a quest I’d started at the excavation but have essentially abandoned anyway, since it was for the opposing faction. Oh well.

I’m level 47 now, so I should probably be focusing on wrapping up these side quests and getting back to the main quest again. There’s still a big chunk of the map to the south that hasn’t been explored yet, too.
