Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints

There are some interesting statues out near the Druid Circle. Whose are they?

  • 1 of 11: You mean, "Who are they?"
  • 2 of 11: They're people who were turned to stone by all the Basilisks running around loose.
  • 3 of 11: If you've found the statues, you've found the Basilisks. I hope you have a Body Magic master who knows Protection from Magic, or at least someone who can fly you up above the Basilisks' reach.
  • 4 of 11: You can help the statue people if you don't get stoned yourself.
  • 5 of 11: Talk to Dantillion in the village first.
  • 6 of 11: He'll say that some pilgrims disappeared up near the Druid Circle, and Cauri Blackthorne agreed to go see what happened to them.
  • 7 of 11: What do you want to bet the same thing happened to Cauri?
  • 8 of 11: Sure enough, if you go click on all the statues after getting the Stone to Flesh scrolls from Dantillion, one of them is Cauri and the others are the missing pilgrims.
  • 9 of 11: If you're having a hard time finding Cauri, start out by heading just a tiny bit west of the Druid Circle, then go a ways north. Her statue is hard to see next to a big green tree.
  • 10 of 11: When you destone her, be absolutely sure to talk to her about Dark Elf promotions, even if you don't have any Dark Elves yet. If you press ESC to let her go without doing that, you'll never get credit for finding her.
  • 11 of 11: After you're through with her and she leaves, she'll be in the Adventurer's Inn (Dagger Wound and Ravenshore) waiting to be picked up.
