It's one stupid item." Where I come from, we spend all day trying to find every single secret in a game. Doesn't matter how retarded it may be, if it can be done, it should be done. Just to spite the programmer who didn't think any one would take the time to care. This FAQ is also here for the few people who would refuse to maphack or use codes to reveal all the places on the map. I'm also using this as a little excersize to make a FAQ with pictures because I'm really interested in making PDF based strategy guides so kids don't have to shell out 15$ for some printed piece of crap that never updates. ================= PRETEXT ================= The optional quest to find the fragments of the shadow orb is in the Night Elf campaign, the mission titled "The Tomb of Sargeras" Once you complete the quest, you'll have the Shadow Orb +10 which increases the wearer's attack damage by 10, armor by 3, and grants enhanced hit point regeneration. The warden will have this for as long as you have her, then it will eventually be passed on as the story progresses. It is still unclear wether or not the orb can be passed to Illidan. ================= FRAGMENT 1 ================= There's a statue of a huntress that you'll come across. Past that, there will be two staircases you can walk up. (1)From the top of the lower stair case you'll be able to see a ledge with a rune. (2)Just Blink over to that ledge. Keep going down that path until it comes to an end. (3)From the end of that path you'll see another ledge straight across that you can Blink to. (4)At the far end of that ledge you'll find a piece of the orb.

(1)Directly to the left and right there are rocks inbetween the temple walls and the surronding caves. Blink across the left set of rocks. Keep exploring down that path as far as it goes. (2)It curves around and you'll find another piece of the orb.

Step on that piece of floor with the Warden. It will open a door. The door is located to the south of the top of the first staircase. (2)In that room Blink to the platform in the middle, then Blink to the ledge on the left. (3)There will be a piece of the orb.

(1)You will be able to see a rune on your left as you pass. Blink to the rune and then follow that path to the left. (2)There will be a little area south of the main room. The orb fragmment is there. Screen shots: (1)Bridge: http://www.nozedive13.com/txt/pics/wc3_so_4_1.jpg (2)Hidden Room: http://www.nozedive13.com/txt/pics/wc3_so_4_2.jpg ================= FRAGMENT 5 ================= You'll be going through the caves for a little while. Eventually in the north west most part of the map you'll be able to go up a hill and fight a giant turtle. (1)If you bring the Warden to the south west most part of that ledge you should be able to see a rune. Blink to that area and there will be a number of barrels and crates. The piece of the orb will be there. Screen shots: (1)Ledge: http://www.nozedive13.com/txt/pics/wc3_so_5_1.jpg ================= FRAGMENT 6 ================= Just south of the hill where you fought the giant turtle I just spoke of in the previous entry, (1)you'll find a tree. Use a huntress owl sentinel on that tree. It will reveal a ledge to the south east that you can Blink up to. (2)There will be a piece of the orb.

Use another huntress owl sentinel on that tree. (1)It will reveal an area behind the wall that you can Blink to. Kill the turle in that area to recieve another piece of the orb. Screen shots: (1)Hidden Area: http://www.nozedive13.com/txt/pics/wc3_so_7_1.jpg ================= FRAGMENT 8 ================= After you get back into the temple, there will be an area to the north that you will enter and find a (1)ledge overlooking a flooded floor. Blink down to the floor and head north. (2)There will be a ramp to the right that leads to an area. When you walk up there, it will reveal an area to the left with a rune. (3)Go back to the flooded floor and Blink up there and there will be another piece of the orb.

But I find it pretty hard to believe there will be any questions seeing as how I'm not only describing where this stuff is, but giving you pictures as well. If you have any questions, please make sure you've read this guide very closely before asking me. ================= CONTACT ME! ================= Email - nozedive@jahn.com AOL Instant Messanger - nozedive13 BNet / Warcraft 3 : Reign of Chaos / Azeroth - nozedive13 / Elfdive I don't have a version of frozen throne that I can play with online...*cough*thanks edonkey2000*cough*.
