Legend of the Runekeeper...v3.4
A downloadable game for Windows
Long ago, the elves of the world of Baphis ruled over all from their floating kingdom using a special power, the likes of which allowed them to create new life in the form of the beastkin, sentient beasts that could speak and work like the humans, for whom they bred into being. For centuries, the elves did as they pleased with both humans and beastkin alike, however, hubris saw their civilization come to an end, with the beastkin rising up against them, using the very power that allowed the elves to gain their prominence.
A millennium and a half have passed, and the beastkin and humans, despite their shared history, are now at war with one another, as the humans seek to try and claim what is seen as a birthright to them, in the form of now extinct elven technology. For one army medic, this puts him in the crosshairs of the ongoing conflict...

What do I do after the desert area? I've collected the plot item and reported to the area leader and for the romance do you have to run the game three whole times or before the final battle lock in a path?
Head back to the desert town, there should be a scene where it will be set on fire and you meet someone. After dealing with this event you can return to base.
Also, you can do a romance event after you collect one rune, so typically yes, you would need to run three games to see each one.
Thanks for answering, but I meant after the town fire,the temple and going back then meeting the sultan and F. I've gone back into town but no further fires. Going to base doesn't advance the story either.
SO SORRY ABOUT THIS!!!
I fixed the issue in the 3.4 version.
Head back to the desert and then board the ship again. You'll be automatically taken to the base for the event.
I messed up the trigger variable.
Please let me know if it works, and if anything else is broken.
Am i playing this wrong i cant any tent in my inv, do i have to talk to a npc or do some mission first?
You have to use it while on the world map.
i checked and didnt find any tents even on the world map
Go onto the world map, go into the menu, select the tent from your items. You'll be transported to your special tent area.
how can i get the sexy since for blackwater and zuberi
Each character you have to romance in the tent during the 'downtime' between missions.
So, after you first head to the first mission and then return for a report, use your tent (which should be in your inventory) on the open world, and speak with the two of them.
CAUTION: You can only get one ending with either character.
where can I sleep to go to the evening to the maquis of rosengrad.
You can sleep in your tent in the overworld.
Can you tell me where it is exactly because i can't find it .
There's an item you should have called Hanna's Tent in your inventory. Click on it while on the world map.
does the bio eater able to be killed in the banker.
Thank you very much for the help this far.
Yes, just use fire on it, but really come back later on, since it is an optional boss.
waht is the differences between the Files Aftermath Off and Aftermath On.
The Aftermath On gives you a bigger and more fancy battle result menu, but it may sometimes slow down the game. Depends on your PC.
The Off version doesn't, and so won't.
what can i do because when I'm in the church when you release all the evil spirits you see three floating balls on the map after you follow them a little near the starting area you see them disappeared and I can't move at all .
Wait until nightfall, and then head up to the left and you'll see a mansion.
Go into the mansion and find your way to the fireplace within.
loving the game so far but im having an issue with the church and dark spirits with BlackWater, every time i follow the spirits to the forest in the top left part of the map once they are interacted with 3 time my entire game freezes with the music playing, I have done all of it at night and am stuck at this part because I see no mansion. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Which version are you playing?
Also, you have to defeat the dogs and zombies within the graveyard area before the mansion will appear.
And it only appears at night.
im playing on 3.4 and i thought I cleansed them all but maybe I missed one tysm for responding and ill check it over some time today
Please let me know if it works.
Sorry I forgot to mention this before, but I have a problem with the equipment inventory (weapon, armor and accessory). I can understand basic gear being unsellable but multiple copies of the same things such as rings also equips that can be easily replaced is like dealing with dead weight. I can put up with the Exp level (50) and item limit (29) but having all that clutter is kinda stressful. At this point I don't care even if get 0-1 in cash but having the option to sell unwanted items would really be helpful please.
Hi, I'm looking for the unique gear for the companions and I'm missing the 'green' weapon and the 'red' set. I know one of the red/fire ones is in the hidden island where the dragon secrets are so I just need to face the last test but where are the rest of the gear if possible? I'm currently at the point where I need to go to the imperial island on the main questline.
Red Equipment -
Flame Talons - Inside the well in the home base. Speak to fairy and the touch the well.
Burning Choker - Dragon Song Island
Ruby Studded Defender - Desert Island
Green Equipment -
Earth Song (Weapon) Inside of Lighthouse you pass by on way to save your bull. (Is Missable)
Breeze Wrap - Dragon Song Island
Thank you for that; while we are on the subject is there any other things that may be missed? At the risk of sounding crazy I was trying to collect 100% for the recipes in the game. So far I'm only missing equipment but got all the items due to my grinding.
Not really.
Unless you count a few other pieces of 'elemental' equipment earlier on, but for the most part if you go through the game, and do the Rosengrad sidequests, you will get everything.
Speaking of the lighthouse what am I missing? I visited during day and night hours but other than a certain skeleton and weirdo outside I don't see the dragon tear and there's no hint on what to do.
My apologies. It was locked behind a certain event that no longer exists.
It has been fixed in 3.2 version.
I cleared the well at home base but after defeating the witch I didn't find a dragon tear or got the red weapon. Did I mess up somehow?
Please update to 3.3 version, as it was locked behind an old switch in-game.
It's unlocked now.
Thank you, I will gladly do so ASAP =3
Speaking of the desert I've done everything and looked all over the place but I can't find the dragon tear there. Help please?
After entering by way of the port, go straight down to the south through the little zigzag area, you'll be able to enter into an optional area.
And that is the reason I didn't find it before. My mistake aside thank you for the help. =)
where do i finde platinum ore?
You create it from silver and gold ore, but only after you find the recipe note in the main questline.
Thank you amazing game that you made i really liked kero is too funnny character
sorry to bother but in which questline and i which location because i already look but i cant see to find it
Oh! Ok!
My mistake.
Originally, it was a part of the main questline, but I change it.
Go to Rosengrad and speak to the vampire guy (at night) there after doing his first side quest. He will tell you about a problem in the local coliseum.
Head to the coliseum and fight your way down into its depths and you will fight an enemy called the 'Amalgamate'.
It will dropped the item 'Ruined Research'.
This is how you create platinum.
tthank you very much For the attention <3
Thank you for plaing my game!
<3
Fun... I just hard locked myself I'm at the point where the base gets attacked all my people are level 50 but I put all of the stat increase items into kero and the mc mc is out of the picture current and I have to fight the 5 sets of 5 that are hard to kill I'm out of mana restores by the 3rd fight running out of healing can't craft better healing all and all I'm stuck to the point I either need to use a save editor or restart. Considering I'm more than 8 hours in this is not pleasant
Hi, I'm having trouble continuing in the game, I already have all the characters at level 50. I'm in that location in the image, but I take a lot of damage, because I can't make better equipment. I don't know where to get the ores, when I try to mine, it says to rest, but when I return home, there's nowhere to rest, I don't know what else to do.
Hi.
You have to use your tent to rest.
Inside of sid tent you can speak to the black lizard and he will craft new ores for you.
I don t know what to do, I've been in the cathedral for a good 30+ minutes, to rescue Zeberi. but the one person that mentions anything relevant just says there's a place upstairs where they take beastman. But i cant go upstairs, Henry just states he doesn't want to be recognized. I've talked to everyone i think, did i miss something, because i cant leave because henry won't leave without the moo man.
Hi. Sorry about this.
Here are the steps you'll need to proceed.
1. In the library room, talk to a priest looking at a bookshelf. He'll tell you about an odd guard upstairs.
2. In the blacksmith room, talk to the purple haired boy in the lower right corner. He'll tell you about a hidden room.
3. Speak to the guard upstairs after that. Henry will take note of how odd he is.
4. Speak to the maid in the kitchen to get food for said guard.
5. Speak to the guard again, and he'll get lost.
6. Go into the room behind him to find a text book detailing what's going on in the church.
7. Go into the empty room with two statues and a flat podium in between it and a hatch will open revealing a pair of stairs.
If you need me to provide pictures to these specific characters do let me know and I'll ask you to hit me up and discord to show everything.
Wow, I can't believe I looked all over and it was that purple haired guy I missed. Thank you so much. I've been enjoying the story. I like the dynamic between Blackwater and Kero. Thanks so much for the quick reply!
Glad you're enjoying yourself! <3
Hi, I have an active membership and I don't know how I can play the game and I am looking for where I can use the password.
Did you go through my patreon?
Because there should be a link there to give you access to the game.
https://bluedragondreaming.itch.io/runekeepers-journey/patreon-access
Thank you, I did and din't show me this link.
I do apolize for that!
Is anyone else having issues with the crystals not spawning in? My computer crashed, corrupting my save files and even after uninstalling and reinstalling the game the crystals never show up in a new game
What crystal where?
So far the first green crystal and the second one in the cave near the sheep enemies
Are you using an old save?
Because said save might also be corrupted.
Nope, deleted the entire save folder and started new game
If you started the game from the very beginning, then you shouldn't have a problem, seeing as you need to see the green crystal in order to progress through the main game. How far are you able to get?
I use Blackwater to find Henry in night,I follow the pink ghost to the forest,I click the pink ghost,then game stuck.Just can not do anything.Cannot move or click or open menu anymore.
I had try many times.I click the ghost,it move to right.When the ghost move to the east side of forest,game will stuck after I click ghost once again from up,down or left.
Can you PrintScreen Cap where you are?
Oh! Ok!
You have to defeat the undead soldiers in their graveyard.
And then defeat the undead dogs in their graveyard.
Both are in the respective graves as you come south from the church area.
Thanks,I found there is still a undead soldier on the top of that graveyard.I did not find it before.
What should I do after finish mission of Scorpios and Rosengrad? I can not find anything new on map.I had meet the princess,talk with host twice.
I went into a house following the ghost and cleared all the enemies inside but still nothing was triggered. I'm stuck right here.
How can I chage betwen day and night on the city? I really want to go to the pub
Once you get your tent, go and sleep in it on the world map.
It'll give you the option to change between day and night.
I'm wondering if I missed something or if it's normal... Is there a way to deal some damage to the pink slimes? I'm still fairly early game (During Blackwater's escape). I tried dodging them believing that I would get an upgrade in the dungeon, but zombie doggo said no :(
I'm level 30 and using Shadow Tooth and St. Arthur Gauntlet. Am I underleveled?
No, you're at a good level. It's more so that they are a 'tough' enemy, until you get elemental based weapons and/or spells. You can avoid them if you change the time to day by sleeping in camp.
You need the Firefly Lance, which you get if you go to the volcano back behind the church, as the slimes are immune to dark/physical damge. And the shadow tooth is dark element adjacent.
So it is normal then, that at this point in the game, I'm unable to fight them since I did not come across any church. Thank you for your reply.
good story bad execution, the game takes way to long to get started, even after gathering all the party members, which takes like 5-6 hours you cant do anything with them for quite a while, every dungeon has basically just 1 enemy with the only variation being how many of it you fight meaning at best the fights get repetitive quickly and at worst (when you have only 1 party member) you can get gank squaded by 4 enemies that hit way harder than they should cause balancing is out the window. its a shame cause the writing is actually decent and engaging. if you strip back the xp scaling and cut back on the everyone has to die but there are like 20 fights before it ends segments there is alot going on here that could save it.
1. There's a day/night cycle, so you have an option of which enemy to fight. This was also made to make it easier to farm materials for crafting.
2. You can avoid battles that aren't bosses, seeing as enemies are visible.
I mean yeah but since you don't really know what is going to be around the next area it makes grinding feel really necessary especially early on with things like the spider enemies once you recruit blackwater for the first time before he actually becomes a party member hitting extremely hard throwing you off the rhythm of leveling, also I might have broken the game on accident somehow since sleeping in the tent seems to just keep it daytime no matter what for me. locking me out of the auction house and certain events. I do think my comments still hold true, and I look forward to any more work you do. oh also, having people repeat your mission in case the player misreads or accidentally skip dialogue would be helpful, took me a while to find out that I needed to speak to the queen again at night the first time you had a night event cause I fat fingered and skipped a piece of dialogue while I was reading it
