Overview
Walkthrough, Attributes, Class Guide, Levelling Guide and Strategies for Blackguards 1. Uses Ranger-Hero Build to utilize all classes. Aurelia was saved in this walkthrough and recieved not the best ending, but a good one.
GAME REVIEW
……Blackguards is a Dungeons and Dragons Type Game with 5 Player Characters
and an entertaining storyline. Reviews from various sources discuss the fact
that this game is quite difficult, and this review remedies some of those
comments. The walkthrough is straightforward and thorough and following it
makes the game relatively simple.
……Blackguards does have some bugs and is fairly short, but as a Steam
game goes, it is one of the better RPGs on the market. The storyline in
particular is very entertaining, and the Arena Battles in Chapter 3 in
the Gladiator Movies’ style are very novel.
……Please send any comments to my email or by Steam Chat.

WALKTHROUGH OVERVIEW
……This walkthrough has a Ranger as the Main character, and while one
might usually choose a fighter as the main character, this build makes
the game faster and easier to play. The Ranger that joins your party,
Naim dies in Chapter 2, however you still receive bows and crossbows.
In order to increase damage output, having a Ranger in the party definitely
speeds up play and allows versatility for healing.
……There are three or four key points that speed up gameplay, and although
they are not all available in Chapter 1, they are a big help. Two key skills
that greatly increase damage dealt are Triple Shot (Hero) and using Standfast
catlike with Hammer Blow on the Warriors. These greatly increase damage dealt.
Thirdly, utilizing Aurelia with Witch’s Bile to cause Knockdown is a huge help.
The Build has other subtleties that are helpful that can be seen by following
it. Lastly, it is also very helpful to utilize weapon poisons throughout the
game as they are received. Further information is available in the item
management paragraph of the Gameplay section below.
……As will be stated again at the beginning of the walkthrough. It is
critical for a new player to follow the levelling guide Chapter-by-Chapter.
There is not enough experience points in the game to level everything and
this has been accounted for. Also at the beginning of each chapter are
Taskbars for each character and those should be set-up to speed up play.
……There are several appendices including item descriptions, spell costs
and effects and spell descriptions, as well as a description of the storyline.
Those are at the end of the guide. The storyline obviously contains spoilers,
so it is not required to read it and is placed last, with the Spoiler caption
on it.
……There are also several minor tips which are helpful but not required.
Firstly, having headphones helps to understand the story. Secondly, there
are books to be found and smashing a table or tipping a bookshelf that can
be seen by using the ‘v’ button to spot the tables yields its book at the
end of the fight. There are relatively few of these throughout the game.
Thirdly, Traps can be disarmed by using them if one has the traps skill at
an appropriate level. Fourthly, although it will be stated in the spells
section, spells at level 3 and 4 usually have special effects. Reading
the fine print will tell you what they are but you have to pay close
attention to the description. Lastly, activating the detailed battlelog
display is helpful because it shows not only hits and misses but also
roll modifiers during battle.
PLAYER CHARACTERS/PARTY
……The story will be covered in the appendix for those interested. Playing
the game will tell you the story with no loss of deatil. Your hero is a
convicted murderer, escaping from prison. The rest is told during gameplay.
……There are six characters in Blackguards. From the third to final chapter,
your party will have five characters in it. All of the characters may be levelled
as you wish, however you will find hints from the game designers to help you
choose. This walkthrough works well and has a balanced, high damage output
party makeup and skillset. You may change the party if you like, but sometimes
it can make the storyline and gameflow more complex.
……Your Hero in this build is a Ranger who uses a bow, deals ranged damage
and is a supporting caster. Your hero is imprisoned for murder, and escapes.
……Naurim, the Dwarf, is in jail for causing property damage. Naurim uses two-
handed axes, and exclusively deals melee damage and wears plate armor. Naurim
uses dual wielding for Smith’s Hammer in Chapter Five.
……Zurburan is imprisoned for practicing magic. Zurburan is a healer, and
places arcane walls positive buffs such as Standfast Catlike, detects traps and
when time allows lays traps, throws axes and casts minor damage spells.
……Naim has avoided the Prophets by feeding her dreamweed addiction. Naim
is a hunter, but is killed in Chapter 2, and so will take the role of a second
warrior in this build. Naim carries a Spear, and exclusively deals Melee
damage and wears Plate armor.
……Takate was enslaved then famed as an Arena Combatant and joins in Chapter
three. Takate uses two-handed swords, exclusively deals melee damage and wears
plate armor. Takate also initially and sporadically uses spears in Chapters
three, four and five.
……Aurelia was intrepid count Urias’ servant and council before she was sold
into slavery for practicing magic. Aurelia primarly knocks down enemies with
magic and deals magic damage but also throws axes, lays traps and performs
minor healing.

GRAPHICAL INTERFACE/GAMEPLAY
……The basics of gameplay are covered well from the in-game tutorial,
however it is strongly advised to use the taskbars provided at the beginning
of each chapter, as well as the levelling guide. There are many pitfalls to
not having the proper skills which can make the game more challenging than
it needs to be, and choosing a levelling path is for players that have
played before.
……During each battle, your weapons and spells will deal damage and
there are hit points, astral energy and attack and spell rolls. Astral
energy is regenerated at 1 per turn in addition to the weapon and special
skill modifiers which are expensive, and astral regeneration is zero
when wearing metal armor such as plate armor. There are two actions per
turn, which may be increased by Move as Lightning Level 3 to four actions
per turn. The initiative bar shows character portraits that cycle each turn.
Speed is an attribute that displays the character’s movement, while initiative
ranks the order of player moves each turn
for every point of attack that you have more than their defense with that
weapon. Thus it is critical to have the proper points with that weapon to
hit as melee damage does a good portion of the damage output. There is also
a slider from attack to defense that can change your attack and defense.
Warriors should often have mostly or all attack and casters often all
defense. In addition to hit and miss, there is also a dodge and parry.
While dodge can occur continually, parries can only occur once per turn.
Shields, armor and weapons modify parry, but dodge is much better. Both
dodge and parry are against their attack rating and high dodge in particular
is very effective and available for all characters. The levelling guide
includes this. Finally, the attributes listed on your character page
increase combat values such as Attack, Parry, Speed, Health with each
attribute increasing 3-6 Combat Values by filling the boxes on that
page. Which combat value each attribute increases is shown on their
description, and there are bonuses in fine print. For example, strength
increases damage dealt (only at 17 and 18). Each talent has three
Attributes that affect its skill roll. If you would like to increase
effectiveness of a skill, check the Attributes for the Attributes that
affect the Talents you use. To increase Combat Values (for example,
Attack uses Strength, Agility and Courage) increase typically 5 points
in the key attributes will increase the combat value by one point.
……Spells increase their chance to hit with increased skill in that
spell, and also with increased character statistics. The attributes that
increase the percent successful cast are listed for each spell. In general
it is expensive to increase chance to hit by increasing player stats.
Astral Regeneration is critical for regeneration by casters and is
completely negated by metal armor, can be compensated for by potions,
augmented by astral mastery, and greatly augmented by weapons that in-
crease astral regeneration. Also, the steady casting increases the
chance for successful spell cast, but is expensive and usually is
obtained later. There are two types of resistances to spells. First is
the Resistance to Magic modifier, which is incremented on the character
attributes page. Resistance to Magic is not effective against damage
spells such as Ignosphero Fireball and will cause that spell to fail
if cast on your players, as well as enemies the same. The second
type of resistance is from the effects that the spell causes. While
some spells have their effects negated by the Resistance to Magic
attribute, such as Karniflo Frenzy, other spells have their effects
such as the Knockdown from Wrath of the Elements resisted by other
attributes like Body Control. The spell failure is given by the
RM attribute, while its effects are changed by other skills and
special attributes.
……Weapons come in various types with damage varying only slightly.
Weapons also have a range which is either 1,2 hexes or 18 for bows, and
some but not many are enchanted beginning in Chapter 3. Damage does
increase over the game, particularly for the two-handed swords and
axes which do the most by the end. The distance attribute is very
useful for second row fighters and has a 2-hex range. What does vary
with weapons is the special moves that they allow. There are two trees
of melee attacks, the left being intended for two-handed weapons,
increases damage with strength and has hammer blow that does the
highest damage. The right tree of the melee attack skill tree is for
armor piercing attacks including the less resisted infantry damage,
and both ignores armor often and also deals wounds since it does less
damage. Wounds reduce chance to hit and dodge as well as hit points
until cured.
……Armor reduces damage based upon damage type, with magic, and
infantry damage being reduced least often and normal damage is without
a weapon. Since the reduction is from 100%, a difference from 60% to 80%
reduction will halve the damage recieved and thus, an 80% to 90% is a
big increase. Armor also comes in two types: metal and non-metal. Metal
armor, as stated above negates astral regeneration, whereas all non-metal
armor is the same except for damage reduction and armor rating and
encumberance. The damage reduction was covered above. Armor also has
an armor rating which is the damage reduced from that dealt. Usually this
is given by a set bonus, and may also be from spells cast such as Fastness
of Body. As with Armor Bonus and encumberance, the first number is the
contribution from that piece, and the number in parenthesis is the total
value that you currently have. Lastly, armor has an encumberance which
reduces dodge, parry and attack. An encumberance chart is listed in the
appendix and encumberance is reduced by one point for each rank of
armor use. Therefore if you have an encumberance of zero, you don’t need
the armor use skill. Also, you will notice that there is no difference
between all non-metallic armor, so you can give your casters leather if
you want, as it is better than cloth.
……Weapon Poisons are very useful in Blackguards, moderately expensive
and moderately available. Weapon poisons work on weapons and last for
the duration of the battle or until dispelled. Dropping the poison on the
weapon before the battle will cause it to be active for the next battle.
The duration and description is the time for which the poison lasts on
the enemy and what its effects are. Poisons can also be used on bows.
Arax, for example will cause the enemy to hit you less often, is not
expensive, and will be sold if you don’t use it by the end of chapter two.
GRAPHICAL INTERFACE/GAMEPLAY 2
……Astral Potions should be kept and used as needed as they are
moderately expensive but reasonably plentiful. Healing potions, however
are not needed very often. Gold is available and there is about 800 Ducats
in the game, with about 75-300 Ducats being required. As a result, you can
buy just about as many traps, potions and poisons as you need with the
exception of chapter one, where you need 75-150 Ducats of the 200 earned.
……Management of Item inventory is a problem because of the encumberance
and weight requirements. Each point in strength for a party member increases
total weight allowance by 2 pounds, but cannot be afforded until chapter 2
or chapter 3. In general for each caster, they will have 1 weapon to
increase astral regeneration and the secondary weapons including mengbillar
will not be used. In general for an archer, they will not use a regeneration
staff because of their high damage output. For each ranged or melee damage
dealer, they will have 3 sets of weapons, and all other weapons which are
not superior in those catergories should be sold. The three types of
weapons are: 1 for the special attack that does high damage, 1 for armor
piercing (infantry or uses marksman or death blow for example) and 1 for
magic or fire damage. This is important because the wood troll in chapter 1
for example is difficult without woodworms, but takes 20 damage for each
hit with a torch. The armored fighters in chapter 4 take 3 damage for each
melee hit, but death blow will deal 10-20 damage.
……It is a good idea to keep inventory weight down by selling items that
you don’t need and they should all be sold at one town per chapter, so that
you can find them later and not have to look around. I usually choose Neetha
in Chapter 1, and Winneb in Chapters 2-5 and sell all my items that I sell
at that town and no other. Also, don’t sell Madvar’s Bow, Zurburan’s Staff,
Light Plate Armor or the Horasian Cavalry Armor, as you should be using
those.
……The inventory management in Blackguards is poor in that items cannot
be moved or shifted. However, you can remove them from inventory and re-
deposit them if you have enough belt slots to hold the entire stack. Period-
ically it is a good idea to pull and stack back all the healing potions
together, followed by all the astral potions, then poisons, then traps, then
throwing weapons. That way you can find and actually use these items.
storyline, but can also be non-descript. You can simply follow the walk-
through and it will tell you what to do, or there is an appendix with
the storyline that describes a bit more in detail about how the story is
actually progressing. In other words, it is a bit confusing and you don’t
need to, but can pay close attention to it. There is also some non-
specificity in the storyline in that your party contains both lawful good
and chaotic evil in the same party. As a result, there are not really any
consequences for your actions, with the exception of Aurelia. For example you
can steal from Menchal in chapter 3, and nothing happens.. You may also
kill or set free the Torturer in Chapter 1 and again, nothing significant
happens.. Aurelia is, however, the exception to the rule. Your actions
regarding Aurelia affect whether or not Aurelia is turned to the nameless
whisper or not. Information is given in the Aurelia Appendix showing
what to say and do to have her remain with the party. If you follow the
guide, it will already be incorporated into there.
ATTACK SYSTEM
……The special moves will be described below, but some only work
with certain weapons. As said before, both the melee and ranged attack
trees have one talent or path that deals high damage, and one talent
or path that deals armor piercing damage. Two handed weapons also
increase damage with strength. Attack rating also increases with
statistics slowly, but universally to all weapons. Ranged weapons
hit far easier than melee, and don’t need to be levelled as high.
Also, reducing enemy dodge and parry is essential, and both warcraft
and animal lore reduce enemy dodge and parry by two at 8 points.
……Plate armor should be used. Even though it does give encumb-
erance, the extra damage reduction is very helpful at the end game
where enemies can do 30 damage per hit to cloth. There are only 2
pairs of cloth gloves in the game, keep all that you find. Also,
leather helmets are in short supply in the beginning and I use two
sets of leather armor for my casters, and one Gambeson set. The
gambeson leggings are in Chapter 3 in mengbilla and you should have
kept the rest of the set to have a full set by then.
……Knockdown is essential for dealing damage because an enemy
that is knocked down will be hit at 100% and often critically. There
are many different ways to knock an enemy down. Some are more effect-
ive than others. Liberating blow into a wall will knock down, but
positioning is difficult. Witch’s Bile often knocks down at 5 AP
cost. Wrath of the Elements works less often, but there are 4
levels and higher levels can be cast. The Attack, ‘Knock Down’
operates on a different resistance and may work under different
circumstances. Tripwire does knock down but is consumed after
use. Lina’s Curse is better, but takes 1-2 turns ahead of time
to stage and the 3-hexes must be empty. Lastly, throwing axes
also knockdown, and finally there are Weapon poisons which
trap enemies which are the most effective. Mandragora for
example, when used on your ranger will knock down almost
any enemy and can be used before the battle, and fired at
will. Most of the time, however, Witch’s Bile and Wrath
of Elements do the job.
SPECIAL MOVES/TALENTS
SPECIAL MOVES
Melee Tree Left: Two Handed Weapons
-Power Blow, Hammer Blow, Knockdown, Liberating Blow – Low Hit Chance, Highest Damage.
Melee Tree Right: Armor Piercing
-Death Blow, Feint, Targeted Stab, Bladestorm – Reduces Armor, Dodge and Causes Wounds.
……Useful when enemy is evasive or armored.
Defensive Stance
-Does Lower Damage, and I do not use it.
Dual Wielding
-Is Good for Fire or Magic Damage weapons which deal more when the enemy is armored,
……or evasive but has low resistance to magic. The offhand gets a 50% penalty or
……so, reduced by the ranks in Dual Wielding.
Ranged Attack Tree
-Triple Shot, Targeted Shot, Marksman-Triple Shot does high damage, Arrow Storm uses
……too many arrows, Targeted Shot is standard, and Marksman is for armored enemies.
Astral Regeneration Items
-Regenerations Staves like Zurburans Staff are not special moves, but they are so
……important that they warrant description here. There are about five regeneration
……items. There are four Astral Regeneration Staves at +1,+1,+2 and +2 by the name
……of Zurburan’s Staff, Mascaron Staff and 2 Mage’s Staves. There are two one-handed
……weapons at +3 and +2 Astral Regeneration by the name of the Obsidian Dagger and
……the Mage’s Rapier. There is no need to keep Mascaron, as your Hero will use bows
……every turn. The Dagger/Rapier can be dual wielded. This build has Aurelia with
……the dagger set and if you are having trouble, you can give them to Zurburan to
……help healing. A few points such as 6 in staves is cheap at all defense and does
……suffice through chapter 3.
Armor Use
-Armor Use 1,2,3 – Each point reduces encumberance by one point. This skill is not
……necessary is you have zero encumberance. Encumberance 1(0) means that piece
……gives 1 point, but your total value is zero.
-Defensive Stance – Increases attack with a shield, which I never use.
Attack of Opportunity/Evasion
-Attack of Opportunity – Cheap and Useful if you have a weapon with skill points
……in it. Typically casters do not have enough points with their weapon for it
……to be useful, but it is so inexpensive, I give it to anyone with melee attack
……over 10.
-Vigilance, Battle Intuition, Blade Dancer – Helps to avoid the enemies’ attacks
……of opportunity, which 30% of enemies have. This is a big help for damage
……reduction and at least Vigilance is preferred for all, with higher ranks helpful.
Dodge
-Dodge 1-3 – Dodge 3 is optional for fighters. Dodge has a dodge rating, and that
……is ranked against their attack value, and dodges can happen several times
……per round. Levelling agility, skills and buffs can increase dodge near to
……their attack so that dodges occur every attack, significantly reducing damage.
……Dodge 2 is excellent and should be learned by all characters.
Astral Regeneration
-Astral Regeneration 1,2, Regen Mastery – Restores 1,2,3 Astral Points per turn. This
……skill is necessary and extremely espensive due to the 18 Charisma require-
……ment for mastery. Usually Level 2 is necessary and Master is helpful for
……all casters not in plate.
Aura Shield, Astral Mastery
-Aura Shield – Reduces damage taken from damaging magical attacks such as burst of
……flame by your magic resistance, and augments the Magic Resistance Skill. It
……is very good, but requires high attributes in warrior attributes such as
……courage. It can be replaced by Gardanum Magic Shield, or simply by healing
……through it. It is only available to casters.
-Astral Mastery – Reduces Spell cost by 1AP and should preferably be learned by
……all casters. It is moderately expensive.
Steady Casting, Ranged Spell
-Steady Casting – Increases spell success by about 15%. Although it cannot be
……learned early due to attribute requirements, it is very good in Chapter 3.
-Ranged Spell – Increases Ranged Spell distance by 1-3 Hexes. This is useful on
……later maps, and is inexpensive, but can be invaluable for both healers and
……damage dealing casters.
TALENTS
-Perception – Allows detection of traps in a 10-15 Hex Radius. This is useful
……for characters that do not use all of their movement and is necessary
……for many battles to detect and avoid traps. There are rarely any Level
……Four Traps.
-Survival – Increases movement, and attributes in Wilderness Battles, and
……reduces the weight and cost of provisions. The weight reduction is
……useful, but I do not level this skill.
-Streetwise – Increases movement in Urban battles, and increases Gold Earned,
……and reduces Inn prices. Because Gold is not necessary, I do not level
……this skill
-Treat Wounds – Allows the use of bandages to cure wounds. Because the attributes
……required are Cleverness, Charisma and Dexterity, Treat wounds fails often
……and the only character that should and would use this is your hero. As
……a result, I do not level this skill with anyone, but instead learn Healing
……Balm 3 in the beginning of Chapter 2 and I sell all my bandages.
-Body Control – Body Control resists knockdown from enemies and is invaluable
……as knockdown takes your turn. It is useful for Warriors particularly, but
……also beyond Chapter 2 for all characters to avoid the loss of turns.
-Willpower – is very helpful for Warriors and Casters alike to reduce duration
……of enchantments, wounds and resist many magic spells. Although not critical
……it is required for Warriors, and helpful for all casters to learn this skill.
-Warcraft – Increases damage against humans, but most of all, decreases dodge and
……parry by 2 against humans at 8 points or level 2. This is useful for all
……fighters, rangers and anyone using throwing weapons.
-Animal Lore – Increases damage against beasts, but most of all, decreases dodge and
……parry by 2 against beasts at 8 points or level 2. This is useful for all
……fighters, rangers and anyone using throwing weapons.
-Traps – Allows the use of traps. This is useful for anyone who does not deal
……a lot of damage, or has extra turns to use, or who needs to knockdown the
……enemy but does not have a weapon or spells to do so. This skill is best
……for Healers. It is helpful to buy and use traps on harder fights early as
……they do damage. Thorn Mat and Omrais Mine are good for damage. The bear
……traps stun, which means the enemy will be hit at 100%, and later on the
……Liana’s Curse will knockdown, and Hyalian Fire trap does good damage.
SPELLS/CASTING
SPELLS – RESISTANCE/COST
-Regular Enemies or Humans are not resistant to anything. Skeletons are typicall
……immune to poison but not fire, and Zombies are not resistan to any magic.
……Bosses are usually immune to poison and resistant to fire, magic and cold.
-Spells may cost a larger value or a smaller value, about half, to level. Usually
……the expensive spells are better, but not always.
SPELLS – DAMAGE
-Cold Shock – Does Low Damage and is not resisted, reducing Agility (Dodge/5)
-Thunder Bolt – Is inexpensive, does low damage.
-Witch’s Bile – Is inexpensive, does low damage, knocks down Enemies.
-Burst of Flame – Does decent fire damage but costs more astral points.
-Fireball – A good choice because the area of effect at level 4 is quite large.
-Culminatio Ball of Lightning – Does good damage, but is expensive and can be
……dispelled. I prefer fireball.
-Wrath of the Elements – is an excellent choice, does physical damage and is
……rarely completely resisted and does knockdown a good percentage of the
……time and has a wide are of effect. Level 4 is resisted less often.
SPELLS – POSITIVE BUFF
-Standfast Catlike – Is my spell of choice that I use in every battle on both
……fighters at level 2 or level 4 and complements Hammer Blow. Standfast
……increases dodge by 5 and attack by 5, giving +25% to hit and dodge.
-Move as Lightning – At level 3 gives an extra turn on the initiative bar.
-Gardanum Magic Shield – Reduces 30 total magic damage in a sphere around
……the caster. It is a good skill but because it is book learned near the
……end of the game it is optional and you can simply heal instead after.
-Fastness of Body – A good buff, that is better at the beginning than standfast,
……providing armor resistance. Because it does not give + attack, I prefer
……standfast catlike.
-Duplicatus Double Vision – Reduces dodge for the caster, and is good, but often
……not worth the action. I prefer to use Arcanum Wall.
-Eclipactus Shadow Force – Is useful again to protect the caster. The shadow
……does not die often in the 3 turns and can soak hits. However, often it
……is easier to heal the damage taken and deal full damage instead.
-Fortifex Arcane wall – Is a prime spell that blocks enemies. The wall must be
……in a straight line at 2-4 hexes and I usually level this to level 3 and
……use it when my casters are crowded. It can be replaced by shadow force,
……but often you can block an enemy route with it.
-Hawkeye Marksmanship – Is not useful because Ranged Attack is much higher
……than ranged defense.
-Sensocatto Masterstroke – Is a critical spell if you are not using two-handed
……weapons. However, this walkthrough uses Catlike and two handed swords and
……axes. It is also helpful against bosses, however it is not in this build
……because it is expensive to learn and cast.
SPELLS – CURSE
-Corpofesso of Aching Limbs – Reduces enemies dodge and parry. However, due to
……circumstances I always need to cast this on enemy casters and I use Magica
……infracta which dispels it. I have not found it useful.
-Lightning Find You! – Reduces Parry but not dodge and is good but not great.
……Again, the problem is that usually the magica infracta level 4 dispel removes
……it from the enemies. I do learn this skill often, but Corpofesso is actually
……better.
-Paralyze – Is an excellent skill that is great for all damage dealing casters.
……At level 2, the enemy is paralyzed and invulnerable for 3 turns. This is
……invaluable for neutralizing high damage dealing non-boss casters. Level 3
……paralyzes a group, and Level 4 which I do not learn creates a warrior
……juggernaut for you.
-Karniflo Frenzy – Is quite handy and causes chaos, and increases damage by more
……than a simple damage spell. It should be learned by damage dealers but
……it is often resisted by bosses and casters. It works often on simple
……humanoid fighters.
SPELLS – HEALING/DISENCHANT
-Magica Infracta – Is a great skill which removes enchantments such as aching
……limbs and paralyze and is invaluable, but it also removes weapon poisons
……and culminatio ball of lightning. Until Chapter 5, it is only learnable
……from a book, and that book must be kept, and used and not sold as this
……skill is critical.
-Clarum Plenum – Is essential for healers and level 3 removes poisons of up to
……level 4, but Level 4 removes poisons from the entire party, heals each
……character 5HP and grants +60% poison damage reistance for 3 turns. This
……should be learned by supporting casters as needed to cure poison (frequent).
-Balm of Healing – This is the most important spell in the game, and is not
……expensive, and does the most HP/Astral Point healing. Level 3 heals wounds
……and Level 4 heals 45HP for 20AP, but can be dispelled. Level 2 does good
……healing for less AP.
-Witch’s Spit – Is intented to be a multipurpose healing spell, curing wounds,
……poison and HP at higher levels. However it is not as good as healing
……balm. Since Aurelia arrives with it, I usually use that and don’t level
……any healing with her at all, and just use Level 1 for no AP.
CHAPTER 1: WALKTHROUGH I
INTRODUCTION
……Blackguards is very fun and relatively short RPG. However, to make it
playable, the walkthrough and particularly the levelling schedule needs to
be followed closely, as there are no extra experience points. Try in Chapter
1 to move fairly quickly, and if you need tips on the story it is listed in
the appendix. After Chapter 1, you can mostly just play, but Chapter 1 is
more difficult. Chapter 2 and the Arena fights are one of the best RPG
battles I have seen, “Let the Games Begin!”. But Here is Chapter 1 first.
……Use the astral potions and weapons poisons that you get and keep some
fire arrows for the wood trolls, as well as the torches to make the chapter
faster.

……when you take him out, do it swiftly.
MENGBILLA ARENA

……another Arena in Mengbilla, for the battle of Nine Hordes.
-Readjust your inventory since you have your items back. The Weapons and armor are listed

……a good idea to pull and stack your potions. Purchase a set of Bosparan’s Armor, Traps
……and Poisons as needed/wanted. Train skills at Tulefa before beginning.
-Begin the battle of Nine Hordes by following the Quest Queue. There are 9 maps, which are
……extremely novel. Battle 8 is bugged, but will show you the fix. The arena is basically
……a rip off of the Gladiator movies where Proximo yells, ‘Gladiators!’ and claps twice.
……The sound is pretty good, and when you get a kill the crowd cheers. Get some snacks.
CHAPTER 2: WALKTHROUGH II
MENGBILLA ARENA DAY 1
-Battle 1 – Use detect traps with Zurburan and cure poison. Goblins are easy if you can reach.
-Battle 2 – The pillars ignite the lava rivers. If you charge fast, you can take out the enemies
……before they reach the pillars.
-Battle 3 – A party of 5, similar to yours. Use detect traps, strictly avoid the spike-traps,
……but poisons are curable at level 1-2. If you do those, it’s an easy battle.
-After Battle 3 of Day 1, you will be have access to trainers, merchants and healers again. All
……three maps are in sequence. Each day has three battles like this. At Mengbilla Arena
……Quarter, you should purchase items needed, spend experience (guide is above) and rest.
……Bring 2-3 Thorn Mats for Zurburan, and at Least a Kelmon Poison for your Hero for Day 2.
MENGBILLA ARENA DAY 2
-Battle 1 – The Tigers that emerge from the tents deal wounds which can be cured using Healing
……Balm 3.
-Battle 2 – The headhunters on Planks do high damage and cause wounds. Rush with your whole
……party in one direction to minimize damage taken and focus fire them down one a time.
……Crowding the Archers reduces the damage they deal.
-Battle 3 – Black Ogres which do high damage, but is an easy fight if you have two warriors.
-After Battle 3, you will be returned to the to the Arena Alcove again. Use the merchants and
……skill points again. After Day 3 (which is the most difficult), Naim will be killed, her
……items returned to you and Aurelia will join the party.
MENGBILLA ARENA DAY 3
-Battle 1 – The Wheels of Death rotate once activated, and flame tongues fire on the third
……turn that do 20 damage, 7 hexes long and 3 hexes wide except for the first hex. Naim
……takes dreamweed and will be out of sorts for all of day three. If Aurelia dies, you lose
……the battle.
-Send 1 Warrior Left and 1 Right to draw melee attacks. When the flames activate, move the
……left warrior in to flip the switch on the center wheel, and it will rotate oppositely,
……preventing damage to Aurelia. For your characters near a wheel, have them stand right
……next to the flame where it will appear on the third turn and enemies will attack you and
……take the 20 damage from the flame tongue. This will greatly speed up the battle.
-Do not get hit by the Flames at all as they do high damage.
-You must remove the poisons right away as they do high damage.
-If the battle glitches, an enemy will teleport into a wall.. You can use your Hero to kill them
……with ranged attacks by attacking their portrait and the battle will end. Spells work also.
-Also, try to end the battle with full astral points, as both battles after this are difficult.
……Use end turn several times at the end of it if you need to regenerate Astral points.
-Battle 2 – Crocodiles emerge from the river to ‘nibble’ on pieces of meat. Each piece of
……meat eaten deals 5 damage to Aurelia, which can be healed. Avoid the traps, and send
……1 healer and 1 fighter to each food receptacle, and block the outer two entrances. The
……crocodiles have dodge and damage dealt is low. Bring to the battle 2-3 Thorn Mats and 1-2
……Astral Potions for Zurburan, and a Kelmon Poison and/or Kukris and 0-1 Astral Potions for
……your Hero and use the Thorn Mats, and the Trapped poison to increase damage to the
……Crocodiles. They emerge, take one nibble and then dive again unless attacked. If Aurelia
……dies the battle must be repeated.
-Battle 3 – Crypt Louse is the Arena and Niam’s Last Battle (And Entertaining Cutscene!).
……Crypt Lice enter from the burrows, explode past the lava 1-2 turns later for 5-15
……area fire damage. Close the Lice Burrows Quickly, and heal Aurelia.
-Send Naurim south of the Crypt Louse Cave, Backup Zurburan half Turn behind Aurelia. Send
……takate Far Right to First Crypt Louse Hole, and Hero Far Left to Crypt Lice Hole.
-Close the 5 Crypt Lice Caves, taking care to avoid exploding lice, and do not let the
……Lice Burrow Runners die as they will be badly positioned to Revive. Your Hero has
……Healing Balm and you need to use it to Heal Takate Also.
-When the Burrows are closed, the battle becomes much easier. Converge on the Crypt Louse
……and then it will go down relatively quickly if you have enough Astral Points.
-Returning to the Mengbilla Arena, Aurelia will join the party once freed, and now Niam
……is deceased. Train the remaining skills and reorganize inventory and re-equip what
……is needed.
-Speak to Diego Monterey and kill him to earn Aurelia’s freedom and remove her mask. You
……will be transported to Mengbilla (outside) with Aurelia in tow. I believe the dialog
……is not important, because you kill Diego right there, but I defended Aurelia. Rew:
……Black Shard.

WALKTHROUGH: CHAPTER 4
NORTH TO NEETHA
-Arriving back in Mengbilla, you will rescue your companions from a mob in the Arena
……Quarter.
-During the cutscene, Aurelia reveals that the Moonstone present at Urias’ estate Is
……something you can retrieve. In order for her to join you at the end, you Must earn her
……trust. Do not insult her, and side with her as much as Possible. She will wear the mask,
……but defend her and tell the others you don’t want her to wear the mask.
-Although there are other quests near Mengbilla, level and head for Neetha Straight away in
……order to remove Aurelia’s mask as soon as possible.
-Level:
……Hero Intuition 15, Cleverness 15, Naurim 2H Swords 16, Takate Spears 18, 1H
……Swords 11, Aurelia Throwing Weapons 18, Zurburan Staves 11, Intuition 14,
……Ranged Spell 2
-Buy expendables for your casters (and useless Aurelia for a bit):
……Throwing Axes, Traps, Throwing Weapons that have weight Light Pomegranate, Black
……Lotos. Use the extras that you have First, but buy some decent ones to speed it up.
-Take the boat to Neetha, but arrive at Drol. Travel north to Neetha and You will be intercepted
……by Bailiff Lasca.
-Bailiff Lasca does high damage. Heal often, use traps with Aurelia, and Put 1 warrior on Lasca
……and 1 on his fighters. Buff with Standfast, But a Hammer Blow will not take them down.
……The archers do 10 Damage each. It’s a good idea to use weapon poisons such as
……Mandragora for this one.
……Aurelia’s mask off. Tell them that Aurelia is okay, and do not argue, but take off her
……mask, and you Will have a full party again. Once you enter the North, that part of the
……map will be open.
LIGHT PLATE
-When you travel south, avoid the north fork to Theniran for now, as there is a small crossroads
……With a battle that we will do later. Go all the way around to Winneb, Heroes and West.
-Level:
……Naurim Strength 18, Takate Strength 18
……Zurburan Agility 12, Dodge 2, Throwing Weapons 15
……Sonnen Steady Casting (Imaculo)
…… Aurelia Save to try out Level 4 Attacks (which you can choose)
-Travel to Winneb and speak with the woman near the merchant to learn of the rebellion in
……Morbal.
-Travel to Morbal and engage in the Morbal defense. Save the commander, and you will be
……rewarded with a set of light plate, as well as some basic potions. Light Plate is only
……slightly better than Bosparans, but the 80% to 90% reduction is significant and useful.
……However, the 3-4 Encumberance, even with the bonus will reduce attack, dodge and
……Parry by at least one. For that reason, the Light Plate set must be given to the warrior
……With the highest attack of the two. In my case, Naurim had 19 Attack, and he got plate.
PRISON OF NEETHA
-Travel to Neetha to find the Moonstone. Upon entrance you will be greeted by Niam’s
……Sister. You may choose to have Aurelia speak, and pledge to the nameless one, but
……I chose to pledge allegiance to no god, and kill the defenders to enter.
-All of the maps in the Prison of Neetha are straightforward. Armored humans can have
……Their armor bypassed with the ‘ignores armor’ attacks such as death blow, or
……Infantry damage works well. You will want to sell the provisions received or
……they will encumber you.
-The last battle is harder. It is important to buff with standfast, but the wolves can be
……affected by witch’s bile. They have high physical damage resistance, but will
……be critically hit if knocked down. Wrath of the Elements does not work well.
-Level:
Hero -Vigilance (Ozhara), Willpower 8, Body Control 8, Vitality 4, Astral Energy 4,

CHAPTER 4: WALKTHROUGH II
URIAS’ ESTATE, EAST OF NEETHA
-Travel to Urias Estate and complete the straightforward battles in the dungeon.
-The second map has a dog whistle, which affects when the spawn. It makes no
……difference either way if you do, but I did not use the dog whistle.
-There are many plate wearers in the dungeon.
-At the end of Urias’ Estate, you will encounter the old oath tree, and use the moonstone
……And Aurelia’s guidance to bring back your memory of the murder of Elanor.
……In the first cutscene, you will remember the evening before.
-When you reach the Moonstone, enter into the slumber, and continue the memory
……all the way to the end. While it may upset Aurelia, you need to find out the
……Truth to earn her respect. Ask but do not argue about the pendant. There is
……No need to ‘dig deeper’ into why Aurelia made her decisions, because if you
……Enter the tomb, you will see what happens. Try to be respectful. Do dig
……Deeper into the memory though.
-The dungeons for Urias’ effort to find the word of banishment have two parts, and
……The third is a cutscene. The first dungeon is fairly easy, but do use Move as
……Lightning level 3 to make the battle faster. The hatchet does more damage
……than the sword for your hero.
-The second battle is more difficult. You must smash the four crystals, releasing the
……Mummy, and then survive with both Urias’ and your hero, and kill the
……mummy. Utilize move as Lightning level 3 extensively on both your hero
……and Urias. Urias has heal potions but no astral potions. Move in with Urias
……to draw all four skeletons. Switch to your axe with your hero and slip past
…… (buffed with move as light) all the way to the crystals and smash all four.
……As usual, the flames do high damage so positioning is critical, don’t take
……Excessive damage with Urias, but do hold the skeletons’ attention. When
……The mummy is released, simply stay alive, and try to fight so the flames
……Take the enemies out, it’s faster. Give it a few tries and they will go down.
-After completing the second dungeon, Aurelia will urge you to wake up. Contine,
……And learn the full story. You will see what happened when you killed
……Elanor, and that Aurelia enchanted you.
-Afterwards, there will be another meeting at the Old Oath tree. You may dig
……Deeper if you like, but do not offend Aurelia. It is helpful to find out all
……The information in the story. Trust her, and if you tell her the word of
……Banishment, she should return to the party.
-The end of the game is nearing. Travel around the map to complete quests in
……Chapter 4.
-The Winched Crossbow was obtained sometime in Chapter 4. It is useful and
……Arguably better than the Flying kraken if you still have some fire arrows.
NEETHA QUESTING
-Travel to Neetha to complete the Frenkel Quest. In the tomb of the Honorhall (Frenkel)
……Just wait one turn for all the ghouls to charge you, and move one hero up and
……Grab the scepter. Heal through the damage and return and the battle will end.
……REW: Honorhall Scept, 5AP Drain, Fire Damage 5-10 Mace. On the way back to
……Town you will be ambushed by ghouls. Reward: Frenkel.
-Travel to Wobran and give alms to the beggar then ask about the empty streets. Gives
……Battlefield of Wobran Quest. Travel there to complete the dungeon.
-Travel to Drol and talk to the merchant to gain the quest for Fornofur, the Dragon Hunt.
-Enter the Dragon Hunt. In the first map there are scarabs and falling rocks again. The
……Swarm of bees is to be avoided above all, as the curse is not curable, lasts
……All battle and takes 15% from to the hit percentage. Remember to close
……The scarab caverns before killing any. Rest up before concluding, Fornofur is
……Next.
-Fornofur has high armor, fire resistance and 100HP. He has a swipe attack, calls down
……avalanches from the roof and a small area of effect fire spell. Use standfast for
……your warriors, and hammer blows and triple shots will do only 10 damage.
……Don’t stand right next to each other as his swipe hits multiple enemies.
……Move to the side when there is an earthquake or you will die instanctly.
……Infantry damage does do quite a bit more. Reward: Reward: Flying Kraken.
……You may let Aurelia keep the dragon eggs if you like, I did.
-Purchase 3 Sleep Venom Poisons from Drol, Strength Potions from Mengbilla and
……Level Aurelia Wrath of the Elements 18
-Travel to the crossroads near Theniran and defeat the worshippers of the nameless
……One, by using Wrath of the Elements.
-Travel to El Halem and Quell the Rebellion from Diamanto. Using Wrath of the Elements 4,
……they will go down very quickly. I tried to avoid using the inn at El Halem, because
…… it might be poisoned (suspect)

WALKTHROUGH: CHAPTER 5
-The Last Chapter, containing the Eternal Valley is shorter. Travel south to the trail to the
……Eternal Valley. There will be some ogres to fight on the way in, and Plate Armor
……on your warriors will be very helpful. Rew: 100AP.
-Travel to the Moja Village. You will encounter savages from the Wilderness, which is
……A difficult fight. The savages have high dodge, so your Hero will not be greatly effective.
……Warcraft 8 does helpf. Wrath of the Elements LV4 will knock them down. Using this is
……Critical, followed by two Hammer blos will take out two. That alone will be enough to
……win the fight. However, if you need Sleep Venom or Kelmon on your Hero, now would
……be a good time to use it.
-At this point, there are about twenty maps until the end, so you can use whatever poisons
……And potions you want. Do save at least 2 Wurara and several potions, e.g. Master Astral
……and Strength Poitions for the last two matches, however, as they are difficult.
-Entering the Moja village, you will have to rescue the shaman. He is in one hut, don’t let the
……Dragon block your exit. Move quickly.
-You will be ambushed by flying dragons on the way out. They have high HP, but don’t do much
……Damage.
-Travelling to the Moja Village, the Shaman will tell you to track down the Root to survive the
……Dark plague. Go to the wilderness and kill the Lily to obtain the Ancestor’s Root. REW:
……200AP, Ripper? (This is better than Palos Axe).
-Level: Hero – Healing Balm 13, Strength 13, Vitality 8, Naurim – Dual Wielding 2, Resistance
……to Magic 12 Zurburan – Warcraft 8, Balm of Healing 13,Vitality 4, Resist to Magic 4
……Takate – Warcraft 18, Agility 18, Aurelia – Paralyze 13, Vitality 8
-Travel to the Screams to rescue the Victim. The dragons will ascend when they are damaged
……however if you kill one in a single shot they may remain down for the match (60HP). Use
……detect traps and stay alive, they do high damage. Escort the Victim back to the entrance
……area.
-Travel to Takate’s Village and kill his attackers.
-Enter into the Eternal Valley. Give the Word of Banishment to Aurelia. The side maps are worth
……100AP each and nothing more. Each map is difficult and new.
-In the third map, don’t ask Aurelia about the prophets just move on. In that spider caveyou can
……burn the spider webs and the spiders will not be able to board the mainland.
-The Cave is quite a difficult map, so it is good to rest beforehand. Also keep in Mind that Aurelia
……will leave the game until the Last fight just before the end of this dungeon. If you need to
……swap weapons/items, do so now. It is critical to give the Mageblade and Obsidian Dagger
……to Zurburan.
-Level: Hero – Lightning Find You 8, Naurim – Vitality 12Zurburan – Move as the Lightning 13.
……Takate – Vitality 12, Aurelia – Lightning Bolt 13 (Book)
-Enter the Last Cave at the entrance to the Eternal Valley to Fight Fornofur, a Difficult fight. Buff
……your heroes with Standfast LV2, Infantry Damage works well. Use Balm of Heal LV4
……because you will run out of Mana.
-Entering the Room of the Final Test, you must show Faith. Ask about Aurelia and then the
……rest of the Questions are OK. The Lizardman is friendly and destroying the temple.
-The First Test has Crocodiles which are a pushover. In the second match there are armored
……knights. you must charge in to stop them from killing the Peasants, and use Deathblow
…… (Spears), Infantry Damage or Marksman Shot to deal full damage to plate. In the final
……match of the first test, The lizardmen spawn every turn. Equip Bows for Triple Shot,
……Andergaster and Ripper for Maximum Damage and buff Standfast LV2 from Zurburan.
-In the second test, you will be cursed, so there is no need to buff Standfast. The traps are interest-
……Ing but hard to use. Try to triple shot down the priests as fast as possible. In the Third
……match, go ahead and extinguish the fires, but get all of them. Black Ogres have Damage
……Reduction so Triple shot is ineffective. Buff/Heal with your Hero.
-Level: At this point you can level whatever you want. Hero – Ranged Spell 1&2, Crossbow 18,
……Bows 18, Strength 15, Willpower 13 (After), Naurim – Axes 18, Dodge 3, Intuition 15, Battle
……Intuition (After), Zurburan – Willpower 18, Takate – Willpower 18, Vitality 15 (After)
-In the third test you will visit several thieves which are easy. Then the second match is forgettable.
……In the final match, the temple can be destroyed or the enemies regenerate each round.
……DPS Them down to 10 HP each and then take out all 4 in one round and you will enter the
……temple without causing a disturbance.
-In the final test, the Black Ogre is easy. There are tigers in the second match. Resist pulling the
……chain as it would cause a disturbance. You will need to cure the Wounds. In the third match
……it is critical to cast dispel magic level 4 as it will remove the magic shields as well as the
……Ball of Lightning.
-This will give you access to Urias. Use whatever poisons you want. There will be no dispel magic.
……Rest up, equip up. Spend all your AP. Give Each Warrior a Strength Potion and Healing
……Potion
-The Next battle is for Aurelia. If you have followed this Guide, Aurelia will be tied to a post and
……rejoin you after. For her to join during, you are on your own. Although Wurara doesn’t
……work with triple shot, A few well timed triple shots with Feint from Takate will take down
……the shaman.
……After Aurelia will rejoin, rest up, and add Wurara Poison to your hero.
-Urias fight is difficult in three parts. Send Zurburan and Naurim outside the walls and buff
……Naurim with Move as Lightning Level 3. Hit Urias with Triple Shot. Clarum Plenum 4 with
……your Hero. Second round smash the crystals but most of all heal and top off mana and HP.
……Third Round, try to Triple Shot Urias and stay alive. Buff Standfast with warrior if need to
……take him down. The dialog is fun, but no matter what, Urias will not be persuaded and you
……will have to fight him. You can choose anyway. The ending does in fact suck a-noos. But
……this game is entertaining.

This means that You do not kill Aurelia and she rejoins the party, and you have 5 party members for the final fight. Although this does not give the ‘Friends for Eternity Achievement,’ it is not only good enough, it is also documented so we will use that.

APPENDIX 6: STORYLINE (SPOILER)
The storyline is very interesting but also can be confusing. Let’s discuss this now. Your hero is a
……convicted criminal for murdering a Princess. You did it, but it’s because you were bewitched.
……Urias is a high priest who is obsessed with power, and he destroys the land. Aurelia is a witch
……who was bored and joined the cult, who cast a spell on and she cast a spell on you and you
……killed the princess. It’s all very complicated. Naurim is a violent drunk with a temper.
……Zurburban has a penchant for women and it gets him in trouble. The ending is strongly affected
……by Aurelia. In the first chapter, you gain three companions, Naurim, Zurburan and Naim. Heading
……south, you are accused of the crime for which you are guilty, and the town of Morbal, assaulted
……asks for your defense. But the Bailiff after, finds you and throws you out of the Northern part
……of the continent. That begins Chapter 2.
You are deposited into a Slave-held South, wandering and you try to fight to freedom but are caught,
……and forced to fight in the Arena. When you defeat the best warriors, Takate offers his service
……as a warrior and you accept. Trying to earn your freedom again, you are made to defend Aurelia
……which is an accused (and actually is) a Witch. You defend her and free her and take her assistance.
……At the end of Chapter 2, celebrating your victory and the hard-fought won arena battles, Naim
……decides to party, and take some ‘Dreamweed’ which leaves her hallucinogenic for the last fight
……and she is killed permanently and removed from the game by the Crypt Louse. After that final
……victory, the actual Witch Aurelia joins your party. Out of necessity, you must accept and
……utilize her skills.
In the next chapter, you develop your party and roam across the Slave-South. It is critical in chapter
……3 to learn Hammer Blow, and Triple Shot, as well as Magica Infracta 3 and Healing Balm Level 3,
……Clarum Plenum Level 4. In Chapter 4, you take a ship back to the northern continent where there
……is a revolt. You defeat Bailiff Lasca, take his armor and enter into Urias’ Estate. There you
……will force him out of his dungeon and then Travel to the south to chapter 5, the Eternal Valley,
……which is the final map. In the Eternal Valley, Urias becomes a Demon/Demigod, and Aurelia is
……converted back to her cult. If you pay attention during the game to the story, you can get her
……to join back up to your side. You must be lawful throughout the game, keep her out of trouble,
……and give her the materials she needs in order to defeat her demons. There is a guide on how
……to do this in the appendix. If you don’t, you have to fight the last battle with 4 characters.
……If you save her, you have 5 for the last fight.
