Hi all,

Currently playing 'Lands Of Lore 2: Guardians of Destiny' and really enjoying the uniqueness of it. Two questions which I'm unable to find answers for online.

1. In certain areas the UI border flashes blue and a sound plays (metal chimes?). I have no idea what this means, It will trigger everytime I walk over the same spot.

2. I've been lost for a while so decided to cheat with a walkthrough guide, apparently there is supposed to be a character named "dawn" in the monastary library but the room is empty. I have spoken to the general in the garden twice who has since vanished and am unable to access the door where "Julian" is supposed to be. Is this a bug? I already helped the lady in the lava caves, her daughter was killed before i arrived. It seems "Dawn" decided to stay in bed today.

Cheers all.

1. These happen when you walk into an area where the game forces you into or out of a beast shape. Usually you're forced out of it, becoming Luther, like when nearing towns. No idea why the devs chose to show that effect if you're already in the right form.

2. Dawn is in the Monastery after a certain event happens. If you didn't visit the town after you found the girl and her mother, be sure to do so.
I've played through the game countless of times and am positive this is not a bug. You've forgotten to do something first.
Talk with Baccata in the town's inn. (Save before entering the inn area, in case you run into a memory crash.) I vaguely recall him sending you to the monastery.

Thankyou, I had missed the inn and the game did crash just after entering. Really appreciate your help.

I can't get passed the memory crash, tried the -LOWMEM parameter in config file. Unfortunately the game is broken and Lore 3 just feels unfinished, man I was thoroughly enjoying it too.

Do you know of any similar games by chance?

I think you can easily pass the crash by going to Video Controls in the menu, then setting the Game Resolution to Low.
(Game might ask for a restart.)
After you've been to the cantina you can turn it back to high. Thankfully it's the only place in the game where this crash happens.

There's also a fix floating around on the forums somewhere, where you edit the exe file with a hex editor and manually fix it forever.

Edit: Here: https://www.gog.com/forum/lands_of_lore_series/fix_for_lands_of_lore_2_baccata_tavern_dialogue_crash

If you trust me enough, I can also send my fixed exe file, although you should probably be very wary of people sending exe files. x)

As for similar games: Not that I know of. To me LoL2 is rather unique in its own way and I keep returning to play it once every couple of years.
