Use
the Nightstone while standing in front of the tomb while the sun is still
in the sky. The magical stone will turn day into night, open the
tomb doors and awaken a group of enemies feared by the entire town of Haldon
Head. Destroy them and earn the admiration of the residents.
After
the innkeeper offers a room for the night, advance the clock towards morning
(by using the clock in the Resting Screen"). The party will be awakened
by a scream and leave the inn to investigate. If the apparition standing
over the body is clicked on immediately, a tough battle will ensue.
Wait too long and it will run away.
Each
time a vampire is destroyed, collect the enchanted ashes left behind.
They can either be sold for a handsome price or used to concoct a potion
of protection against the Undead in future battles. (BTW, there is
a dangerous Undead figure in Chapter 9!)
Spells
which are based on sunlight are extremely dangerous to the Undead.
Not only will they blind them, but do a great deal of damage in the process.
When a mage combines a sun spell with a Ring of Flames, a vampire's greatest
fear is realized.
The
group of possessed townsfolk which attack the party at the pulpit are under
the direction of a necromancer posing as Father Roweland. Destroy
him and the townsfolk will return almost immediately to their benevolent
demeanor. Under no circumstances kill any of the unfortunates lest
you want to wear out your welcome in Haldon Head.
After
saving Merrick's daughter, carefully note his parting words. The
names of the next two contacts will be identified. Follow his clues
to find the final evidence of the evil which possesses the residents.
In
a futile attempt to prevent his confession, a necklace, under the direction
of evil forces, chokes Farmer Alton to death when he is confronted by the
evidence of rat poison in the cattle feed. Grab the tainted jewelry
and pay one final visit to a familiar figure.
The Whisperer's Locket can only be used in the presence of his former betrothed, an unlikely female personage of Haldon Head. You'll recognize the correct person if the Use button is no longer greyed-out when you attempt to use it from inventory... and it's only usable indoors!
