Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage/Walkthrough

As soon as you finish naming your character you view a scene the king assigns a cook to look for you. After the scene you start the game with your hero looking for the lost farmer Kendall. After this scene you start playing, before doing anything open the chest that is left of you. After opening the chest move down the hill you will then talk to some Mirari.

Oisin forest
Knowing that there are no random enemy encounters and enemies don't respawn, you should first of all try to get as much experience as possible. There are four enemies in this early part of the game: two Giant Rats and two (groups of ) Giant Bats. After speaking with the Mirari travellers, take the path on the right, fight the Giant Bat(s) and further on get Kendall's hat. At the fork, turn right for the items in two chests and a bag. Note that items and chests only become visible when you're very near to them. Drop down the cliff, and you're at the start again. Now take the central path, face the Giant Rat, and at the fork turn left to fight the second Giant Rat, find two chest in opposite, and the last Giant Bat(s).

Oriana's hut
After the long cutscene, buy Healing and the two spells.

From Oisin forest to Gwernia
Follow the light trail out of the forest past the Mirari women.

The next area is the outskirts of Yorwood. If you leave the path you can fight a Giant Bat and a Giant Rat, and also find some items in the river valley. If you get to the ruined village, you'll meet a powerful Goblin, but then be free to collect several herbs and spices to heal yourself.

At the end of the light path you are in the countryside of Gwernia. You can meet four Giant Rats and find several chests. Instead, if you up the hills on your right you'll meet powerful monsters, so watch out!

In the village of Gwernia there are several shops and items to find.

Gwernia Castle
Now you have to form your first party. Brenna joins anyway, therefore you should choose two out of three characters.
 * Brenna the thief: she is proficient in the skills of Thief (Lv.3) and Stealth (Lv.3).
 * 1) Abrecan the warrior: a strong fighter, proficient in the skills of Warrior (Lv.4) and Sword (Lv.4).
 * 2) Rheda the wizard: a Naming Wizard (Lv.4), also proficient with Swords (Lv.3) and Poles (Lv.3), plus some Merchant (Lv.1).
 * 3) Godric the wizard: a Elemental Wizard (Lv.2) skilled in Alchemy (Lv.3) and Mechanics (Lv.2) that can be useful to make potions and armors.

Choosing Abrecan and Godric makes the game somehow easier, because Godric can make several types of healing potions as a support to the Healing taught by Oriana in Oisin forest.

If the player would like to use more different effects, Abrecan and Rheda can be chosen. Indeed, Brenna will be able to learn Elemental spells like Godric and has a low level of Mechanic skills, too; moreover, Rheda is the only character with some Merchant skill.

If you're looking for a challenge, choose Rheda and Godric and face the perils of Aidyn without the strong sword and arm of Abrecan.
