Wizardry 8 Hints
4. Discover the coordinates of the Dark Savant's ship.
1 of 13: Z'ant will inform you of a ship which has been shot down over Bayjin. He believes this ship may have a clue as to the location of the Dark Savant's own ship, the Daedalus. Your first order of business will be to find a route to Bayjin.
2 of 13: Once in Bayjin, you'll need to locate the ship. Try searching the island for any survivors.
3 of 13: The sole survivor of the crash has been imprisoned by the Rynjin Chief. Using the X-Ray spell, you can pinpoint her as a green dot on the beach.
4 of 13: On the beach you will encounter a group of Rynjin and the Rynjin Chief beside a campfire. After defeating them, unlock the door to the large hut. Inside you will find Jan-Ette, a Helazoid. It was her ship which was shot down. She can tell you more, before collapsing from her wounds.
In the cell next to Jan-Ette's is an imprisoned Umpani named Glumph. If your Umpani faction rating is hostile, he will attack your party when you open his cell. Unless you have been given a quest to find him, you might want to ignore him for now.
5 of 13: The downed ship can be found on the northern end of the island. Search in the wreckage for a Flight Recorder Black Box. The coordinates of the Savant's ship are locked inside the Black Box. You'll have to figure out how to extract that information from it.
6 of 13: There is a computer in the Arnika spaceport which can read the data in the Black Box. It can be found in the long, low building immediately to your left after entering the spaceport.
7 of 13: Use the Black Box on the computer to read its data. The results will be entered into your journal, and the machine will tell you to use the Orbital Tracking Computer to calculate the coordinates.
8 of 13: The Tracking Computer can be found in the tall building inside the spaceport, at the top of the elevator. It must be repaired before you can use it.
9 of 13: Inspecting the damaged computer will reveal a message: "Thanks for the trinket. Bobo will love it!" Obviously one of the computer's components was stolen. There is one race on Dominus which is notoriously thievish.
10 of 13: The component you need was stolen by the Trynnie. It can be found in Trynton Upper Branches, in the possession of Bobo the Hogar.
11 of 13: Retrieve the Shiny Metal Ball from Bobo's cage, then return to Arnika and use it on the Orbital Tracking Computer, then click on the computer's screen to activate it.
12 of 13: The computer will present you with three options. Choose "Calculate", then enter the last known coordinates of the ship you are seeking. Those coordinates should be recorded in your journal.
13 of 13: Enter "1X 1Y 2Z". The computer will complete its calculations and present you with the result: "10:24". Return to Z'ant and repeat these coordinates to him in order to complete the quest.
