Dark Earth Hints

I'm desperate! Tell me what to drink!

  • 1 of 4: CAUTION:  Be aware that this will reveal some secrets about the game you may not be ready to learn!  Read the following at your own risk!
  • 2 of 4: Find Leona in the Darklands.
  • 3 of 4: Drink the "water of purification" she tells you about below her hut.  Arkhan will only be able drink this twice without harm.
  • 4 of 4: When you search Thanandar's body, you will find a potion.  Drinking this potion will reduce the poison level.  My advice is to wait until the end of the game to drink this potion.  You will need it then!
