The Lost Heir Trilogy

Got some questions for the Catalyst Prestige (is it?) class. What are the exact requirements for it. On one play through where my wife was Jess, I did her quest at the Academy of Wizards, got the book with my charm, told her to use the knowledge. Later when given the option I talked to her more about Soulburning, not sure if it is needed, but I took it whenever that option came up. And finally in LH 3 I chose to research further and found out about the catalyst, not sure what the requirements to find out about it are, but my character was able to, and i chose to perform it, It said the ritual was easy but I ended up failing it because my endurance was too low. I think it said it needed 50 endurance but I’m not positive, I was pissed since I was literally only like a few points away from 50.

So my questions are, what are the requirements to be able to learn about the Catalyst class and succeed in the ritual? Do we have the knowledge necessary if we do Jess’s quest at the academy and succeed in learning from the book and encourage her to use the knowledge, etc.? Or are there some skill checks that I never knew about since it never gave me any failings other then the endurance check? Thanks in advance, because I really want to get this Prestige class on another play through.

You need to get book for Jess in LH2, and in LH3 you need to have 55 Arcana, 55 History and 55 Endurance to succesfully finish researches and ritual.
Variable soulburner_knowledge, required for this class, set as long as she was able to read the book.

@Looking_For_Cult I can advice you to try to look on games script itself, if you not afraid of spoilers.

Just wanted to add my voice to those saying how good this story is. I finished my first full playthrough last night and, while it had a bit of a tragic ending, I learned a lot about how to build my skills etc. I realised that, by the last chapter, I was pretty stuck with my skills because I had been so rigid in my focus that I don’t actually think I could have had a happy outcome based on how I played the first two chapters. Frustrating but ultimately means I’ve learned a lot about where to go in further playthrough. :blush:

Is there any other special scene with the NPC on TLH2 when you go to demi-human continent part? So far I’ve only found:

Gnome:

-bring Jess, help their problem, listen to Jess at the construction building and she’ll use her magic to burn it(relationship+3).

Dwarf:

-bring Theo/Thea, help their problem, and spend time drinking with them(relationship+3)
-bring Peter/Petra, help their problem, and spend time studying their religion(relationship +(forget the number) and increased dwarf help).

Elf:

-bring Karl/Karla, and spend time with elven hunters(relationship +3).
-bring Bran/Brin , and spend time with elven warriors(relationship+3 and army morale+3).
-bring Jess, ask her to climb tree(IMHO this is the most memorable scene in this game, especially when I’m romancing her. relationship+15), and spend time with elven spellweavers (relationship+3).

*there’s no male soulburner in my book!!! :grin:

A tattered backpack containing:

  • a lockpick set
  • a rope
  • a cracked lantern
  • a waterskin
  • flint and steel
  • a hammer and a few iron spikes
  • a flask of holy water
  • torn sleeping roll
  • a thief harness for hands-free climbing
  • the Book of the Dead bound in human skin
  • a children’s book from Zusak’s quarters

You are wearing:

  • your badly torn and ragged magically enhanced clothes
  • dark black platemail armour
  • the Circlet of Daria rests upon your head
  • the Cape of Shadows over your back (+20 Bonus to Stealth)
  • the Gloves of Archery on your hands (+20 Bonus to Archery)
  • the bone Necklace of Nature around your neck (+20 Bonus to Nature)
  • the Gem of Seeing in your pocket (+20 Bonus to Perception)
  • the Magical Shield on your back
  • the Feather of Glibness in your hat (+20 Bonus to Charm)
  • the Cloak of Spiders over your shoulders and down your back
  • Thuja’s Belt of Speed around your waist
  • the Staff of the Archmagi in your hand (+20 Bonus to Magic)
  • the Boots of Travel on your feet

K’Girr opens the gate between its enormous hands once again. This time, the surge of demons flies directly at Zusak. The High Chancellor’s eyes go wide as he’s knocked over the edge screaming. The scream doesn’t last for very long, as he falls out of hearing to his death below.

You direct K’Girr to send its demons back under the fortress. The descent stops, and you soon have control over the flying fortress. Looking down, you see that all of the demons that had been attacking Brightwater are now looking up at you. Through K’Girr, you have control over all of them.

The tears in reality begin to grow even larger as more and more demons cross through the veil. You can feel the power from the Demon Realm altering your very soul. You realize that you can change yourself however you please, but unlike before, you have no limits. Your humanity might be lost, but using the power from this side of the veil means that you’re able to keep your mind.

You call out to your vampiric children. With both demonic and vampiric blood, you have become the greatest evil the land has ever known. Zusak had been a tyrant and a villain, but he was nothing compared to you.

You look down upon Brightwater. Your companions will make excellent henchmen. Selina turned Theo against you, making him the Red Warrior. Similarly, you can turn everyone into stronger versions of themselves so that they can serve you better. With Jess ruling at your side as your dark Queen, you will have many faithful associates. The continual power of the Demon Realm means that you’ll never age. You will have the choice as to whether you wish to let Avery rule alone or at your side. Perhaps a hero will someday rise and destroy you, but until that time comes, you will rule with near-divine might.

An evil smile slowly spreads across your face as you appreciate the full extent of your power. Daria will come to fear and cower before Avery, the Demon King of Daria.

The End…[/details]

I think you must have two levels in Dark Knight, then you will get the option to visit the Apsco nobles and get Souldrinker. A sacrifice will be needed of course, luckily you will have the good lady with you. Hehe. :smirk:

Oh ok a smidgen. It was blessed by lord Neo.

Beside this way there’ll be no hero to stand up to the demon lord anytime soon…

@Arkham Ahhh darn, I always forgone the second level so I could be a dragon knight, well looks like there is one more thing to ch- I mean pray to lord Neo for.

Why kill a noble who pay her taxes? Just kill the undead there.

Oh. My. God.
I can’t even…

A living being is much better.

What? Was the ending that amazing? We all know the villain ending is the best ending! Well maybe the monster comes close…


Demon vampire soulburner babies sound fun.

I like the Rune Warrior class. Mine is also a necromancer, so he controls both undead and demons.

After 3 failures and getting the Puppet ending. I finally got the Hero ending with my Queen Jess and my son Damien and here are my stats, note all the max stats were BEFORE my Demon Transformation. My only peeves though is that ALL of my original companions survived; including the Red Priestess:Petra but she was never mentioned in the epilogue. Neither were my squire Raquel, my Dragon or even my allied Giant.

My greatest accomplishment was winning the Grand Tournament Champion Trophy. With only TWO high weapon stats, blades and archery, Evil shined upon me, all hail Shadi. Though I’m probably gonna retry that run, since I flubbed up the Mermaid mission by trying to raise my 80 something archery on the 4 Crystal guards, thinking it would be high enough to get through it…NOPE. Seriously these stat checks are ridiculous lol. Just stick with your max stat attacks, even though the points gained don’t help you AT ALL. Not sure if helping the Mermaids makes a mention in the epilogue, hope it does since after you helped them, it mentioned maybe after Daria was safe we could work something out with them. If anyone got their help and got the Hero ending, does it mention them in the epilogue?

Edits: When I helped my allies during all of my summons and in the final group battle where it shows your Win Stats/Summary, it should be noted that Petra was not shown there either but everyone else was…

Quite high ability stats, but then again, to be expected with this classes. They giving nice bonuses.

It will be sad if Red really isn’t mention in epilogue, I yet to play character who lost battle for Tornassa to check.

Can someone tell me how to get the dark knight class? And tell me precisely how to do so? I usually play as a archer unarmed fighter type
