Introduction There's a serious lack of Entomorph content these days. Personally, I consider this game a classic, and it's a real shame it's been slept on for so long. There's no real comprehensive info on the items in this game, so I figured something like this was greatly overdue. III. Copyright Info This guide is copyright (c) 2005 for AUNAO. Just drop me a line beforehand if you want to use it. Entomorph: Plague of the Darkfall is copyright (c) Strategic Simulations, Inc. IV. Item Info Here you'll find a list of all items in the game, where to find them, and what their use is. The list is in alphabetical order. If you know what you are looking for, use the Ctrl-F search feature to find it. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Armor Charm Location: Abandoned Village, Eastern side of Phoros You'll find two ghosts in the area, one of a villager, and one of a recently blinded Noble who mistakes you for someone named Hiunan. He'll ask you to find a healer. Agree, and find the ghost of the villager. He'll talk about blinding the Noble, and you can tell him you are able to help if he'll follow you. Lead the villager's ghost the the Noble's ghost, and they'll both disappear, dropping the Armor Charm behind. Description: Well, it's another great Charm item. You can ALMOST see a difference when at the end of the game at the highest difficulty. Still fairly useless. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Bag of Ants Location: Eastern Phoros, by Sechdric's camp after finishing the T'Urthrax Mata's quest Description: Sechdric will explain the growing danger of the Theyld Queen, and give you this bag of ants. When you have this in your inventory, the Thelyd will not attack you as long as you don't stray from the main paths. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Ball of Poison Location: Mutrizzba Shrine, in a chest immediately after slaying the Queen Description: A venomous ball used to poison some sort of living pool in the Theyld stronghold. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Bee Egg Location: Panorpid Hive, Alpha Egg Chamber Description: Used to complete the Queen's task and gain access to her antechambers. Simply pick it up, and drop it where you unloaded the blood earlier on. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Bee Wax Location: Panorpid Hive, Wax Chamber Description: Used to complete the Queen's task and gain access to her antechambers. Simply pick it up, and drop it where you unloaded both the blood and the egg earlier on. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Bloody Sponge Location: Receive Automatically Description: Used to resurrect the Shaman to save Hammis Island. If you bring both this item and the Shaman's Amulet to his corpse, he will return to life for a short period. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Blueprints Location: Keechda Underground Temple, Tube Maze Description: One of three items needed for Oochdar to repair the final Machine Module used to reactivate the Great Keechda Machine. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Child's Toy Location: Maggot Cave Description: You can give the Child's Toy to the old woman Kolfinna in Saltmoon. When you do, she'll teach you the Phoros National Anthem. You can recite the Anthem to the Nobles in the Saltmoon town square to receive a Jar of Nectar. If you aren't interested in finding it out yourself, the Phoros National Anthem goes like this: Greeble heeble habalibbel Wongo jungo babalibbel Keeble jeeble pergomiddel Kirgo Wingo Scamzahizzel! So... yeah. =/ ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Crystals Location: Keechda Underground Temple, receive from Sabaruk after returning his father's severed head Description: One of three items needed for Oochdar to repair the final Machine Module used to reactivate the Great Keechda Machine. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Elaborate Scroll Location: Mutrizzba Shrine, before exiting Description: The scroll reads as following: Intone the Incantation by Shadowed Cross Part Water Raise Stone Passage Open Al Kom Halatha Baram Basically, use this item near the Black Cross sign on the eastern part of the island. A passage will open up, and you'll be able to get the Web Walk spell. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Gift Location: Receive from Clorin on Hammis Island Description: On your way to sail off of Hammis Island, Clorin will run into you. He'll express concern for his cousin Baytha, and ask if you'll take this Gift, aptly enough a bouquet of flowers, to her. You can turn him down, but it's somewhat worth your while to agree to help. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Golden Coin Location: Third Rebel Camp, hidden in the rug Description: Used to activate the Golden Table in the Ziggurat connecting to the Panorpid Hive. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Golden Scarab Location: King's Palace, Dungeon Description: The true source of the Darkfall plague. You'll receive the Scarab after slaying the Queen's mutated body. Your goal is to take the Scarab to the chest in the center of Phoros, at the hill's peak. Note that if you don't be quick about it, you will transform into a mutated creature similar to the Queen, and you'll get a game over. You have more than enough time to defeat the T'Urthrax Mata and get the Scarab back to the chest, though. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: History Book Location: Theyld Anthill Area, Abandoned House Description: A large blue book entitled 'The Dark Ages of Phoros'. There's a house with a man locked inside in the deserted village on the eastern part of the island. You can trade this book to him in exchange for information. You can talk to him at any time after giving him the book. Not a bad trade. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Jar of Honey Location: Saltmoon Village Description: You'll find this item in the weird house filled with bees. You'll likely be killed almost immediately if you enter early on, so wait until later. Once you're transformed into your second form, cast a fully energized Armor and a Haste spell, and run in and out to get it. You can use this item when you have to go to the Underground Keechda Temple. The young Keechda Mongrel guarding the door insists you give him nectar, otherwise he won't let you in. This item exists as a decoy to give him. Although, if you have the Nectar to spare, you need not bother with it. It's really your choice. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Jar of Nectar Location: Various. After entering the first Rebel Camp, your sister will ask you what she should do with her jar. You can choose to take it. You can also trade three orchids to Kolfinna for another jar. Successfully reciting the Phoros National Anthem to the two nobles in the Saltmoon town square will net you another jar. The rest are scattered in dungeons and temples in obvious areas. Description: Nectar is weird. Apparently it greatly boosts your strength, but I've personally never noticed much of a difference after using it. On the plus side, using a Jar of Nectar will fully restore your Health bar. Since you can have about eight to ten jars around the end of the game, they can be an effective way to restore your health if you choose to save each Jar. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Luck Charm Location: Second Rebel Camp, after visiting the Third Camp and hearing about the treasure Description: Another wonderful charm item. Almost certainly does nothing. Our pal Squire Warrick even comments on this, as you find this wonderfully Lucky trinket in a grave. On the plus side, you find a Mana Potion, too. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Machine Modules Location: Scattered throughout the Keechda Underground Temple, attached to various machines Description: Thin square modules of a bright blue color. You'll need to pry them off various machines. There are nine in total, and you'll need them all to reactivate the Great Keechda machine. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Mana Charm Location: Small island on the east of Phoros Description: You can get to this island via warp tube through the Keechda Underground Temple. You'll need a Mookaluke to activate it. Like the other charms, it isn't very helpful, but if you're a perfectionist, you'll go for it. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Mana Potion Location: Received from Damos Village Elder after successfully saving Hammis Island. Also found in several chests and ceramic pots throughout the game. Description: Fully restores your mana bar. This is one of the few ways to do so, and these potions are fairly rare. Save them for when it'll count. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Medallion Location: Theyld Stronghold, BF2 Description: Immediately after slaying the Theyld Queen, her hoard of jelly will appear. Opt to touch it, and you'll find this medallion inside. Allows you to gain access to the Distillery. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Mookaluke Location: Keechda Underground Temple, Great Machine Description: You need a Mooka Statue to insert into the machine. If you do so, a Mookaluke will pop out. It's a useful little trinket that can activate machines and several warp tubes throughout the game. You'll need at least one to complete the game. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Mooka Statue Location: Saltmoon Village, Seized House. Also found in areas Nobles are found. Description: Once you repair the Great Machine of the Keechda Underground Temple, you'll need Mooka Statues to create Mookalukes. See 'Mookalukes' for their uses. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Mushrooms Location: King's Palace, Kitchen Description: The head chef will ask you to dispose of these poisonous mushrooms. Naturally, you have a better idea. One of the Mutalids in the common room will show you how to mesmerize a Muncher, effectively leaving him open to suggestion. Using this trick, you can fool the poor little guy into using the Mushrooms to poison the Noble guarding the Northwest door, allowing you to proceed deeper into the Palace. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Mutrizzba's Egg Location: The Great Mutrizzba's Shrine Description: You'll receive this automatically, just before you engage the Mutrizzba Queen in battle. It will hatch near the end of the game, turning into the 'Sleeping Fly' item. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Noble's Body Location: Hills southwest from the Panorpid Hive Description: Used to complete the Queen's task and gain access to her antechambers. Pick it up near the hills, and bring it back into the hive. Speak to the Queen through the voice tube, and the body will drop to the ground, and the door to the Queen's antechambers will open. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Orchid Location: Scattered throughout the Phoros wildland Description: Red and violet emblazened flowers. Be warned that they will exhale a poison vapor when you approach, so back off, wait until it disappears, and strike it. You can then pick it up. Orchids only have two purposes. The first is to extract both information and ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Orb of Disclosure Location: Theyld Stronghold, 1st Floor Description: A shimmering blue orb with Sechdric's severed arm still grasping it. This item will allow you to see the pheremone trails in the Theyld Stronghold. However, the place is fairly easy to navigate, so it's more of a novelty than anything. It's a neat concept, though. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Parchment Location: King's Palace, Arena, Upper Right Cell Description: Reads as follows: Porothos Malis Mordosis. Use this Parchment in the Lower Left Cell of the Arena where the wall is slightly different. Once you do, you'll be able to pass through it and collect a Potion of Restoration. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Pendant of Communication Location: Damos Village, receive from the Storyteller after saving Hammis Island Description: Ugh. Quite an annoying item. This allows the Storyteller to follow your actions through the course of the game, and comment on them every now and then. His voice actor is terrible, and it's pretty pointless. A mandatory item, unfortunately. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Potion of Restoration Location: Maggot Cave, several chests. Description: A much more potent potion that restores both your Health and Mana bars. Much rarer than Mana potions, and definitely best saved for the more powerful bosses later on. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Room Key Location: King's Palace, Noble's Quarters Description: This allow you to leave the Noble's Quarters, as the only exit will lock automatically. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Sea Sponge Location: Hammis Island, Village of Addegun Description: You'll use this sponge to soak up some of the fallen Shaman's blood from the Mutrizzba mosquito that killed him. It'll automatically become the Bloody Sponge afterwards. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Severed Head Location: Keechda Underground Temple, Tube Maze Description: A Severed Keechda head, belonging to the father of Sabaruk. Return the head to him, and he'll give you some Crystals in gratitude. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Shaman's Amulet Location: Hammis Island, Village of Damos Description: Used to resurrect the Shaman to save Hammis Island. If you bring both this item and the Bloody Sponge to his corpse, he will return to life for a short period. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Sleeping Fly Location: Receive automaticall after your victory in the Arena Description: The egg the Mutrizzba Queen laid in your shoulder has finally hatched. Basically, it protects you from the T'Urthrax Mata's time space abilities in the last battle. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Strength Charm Location: Receive from Baytha in Saltmoon village after giving her Clorin's Gift Description: Strike up a conversation with Baytha, and you can mention her name sounding familiar. She'll mention Clorin, and in return, she'll give you the Strength Charm. Basically, it's supposed to increase your attack power by a small amount, but the bonus is either negligible or non-existent. Note that if you opt to flirt with Baytha or tell her Clorin said she would help you, she'll brush you off, permanently, leaving you with the Gift for the rest of the game. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Super Mana Charm Location: King's Palace, Royal Bedroom Description: A better version of the Mana Charm. You'll actually see a small difference in Mana consumption with this item. Pity you receive it so late in the game. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Talking Skull Location: T'Urthrax Ravine Description: It's a talking skull. You find it in the Ravine, and promise to take it to its lost body. The location of the body in question is just outside of the Ravine, in the abandoned village surrounded by webs. His body is at the bottom of the well you may have noticed earlier. Reuniting the two will net you the Lightning Bolt spell. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Tube Maze Key Location: Keecha Underground Temple, receive automatically from Oochdar Description: Allows you to enter the Tube Maze within the Keechda Underground Temple. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Urthrax Eyes Location: T'Urthrax Ravine Description: Before the T'Urthrax Mata will leave the ravine to destroy the Theyld, she needs proof that the Urthrax will not rebel. There are actually two different Urthrax Eyes items. You can either kill the Urthrax that helped you earlier, or spare him and he'll give you the eyes of a cocooned Urthrax. I'd recommend sparing him, as you'll get the Maelstrom spell if you do. ------------------------------------------------------- Item Name: Wires Location: Keechda Underground Temple, Tube Maze Description: One of three items needed for Oochdar to repair the final Machine Module used to reactivate the Great Keechda Machine. ------------------------------------------------------- V.
