When does the top and bottom parts of the map that came with the game open up? I have fourty hours now and still cant go north about Visand..

I cant find the Unicorn again. The prompt said the Unicorn ran off to get the map but then I was back on the road. I tried traveling back and forth for a couple of weeks but nothing.

Can I transfet my characters without beating Blades of Destiny? I am bored with looking for these map fragments, I made the mistake of trying to find them without a walkthrough and now realize that half the people I talked to lied about having a fragment.

1. No need to go there. If you can't travel there by land you can travel by ship.

2. Don't bother searching for it. It should find you. You only need 7 of the 9 map parts to find the sword.

3.Yes you can. You miss a few quest XP but leveling up is more rewarding in RoA2 anyway (+1 extra HP).

Thanks for the help!
I think I am even more disappointed now. I had about 40 hours into star trail and I like it so much I decided to start Blade of Destiny so I would have a high level party for the second game. I slogged through this far on Destiny to port over my party, and I just tried it and got the baby face bug. I now have 80 hours into both games combined, niether of them finished and I really dont care to finish either at this point.

1) Download the following Hex Editor you can find it at this website http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/tiny-hexer-Download-35737.html
2) Install the editor and open your save game which you imported into ROA2. BEFORE YOU CHANGE ANYTHING MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR SAVEGAME.
3) You can either find it manually or by pressing Ctrl+F and look for the word "CHAR". It is usually located right before your characters name. Click the letter C of CHAR and make sure it is highlighted in the Hex editor as well.
4) Here comes the most important thing. Press Ctrl +G in the field type in +0xB7 this will take you about 5 lines further down from the word CHAR and you should see right where it lands or right next to it the number "10"
5) Replace the number 10 with 00 and save.
6) Repeat the previous steps for all your characters.

This should take care of the issue. BTW with this editor you can also change other values of your characters. All what you need for that is the windows calculator and know your character values.
