Torchlight 2 Walkthrough Part 17: The Alchemist's Rage
After that last intense mission, you are probably ready for a nice, slow break. Luckily, The Alchemist's Rage turns out to be another simple "walk over here and talk to this guy mission." Good thing too, because after all of that walking and talking to guys in the last mission we'd imagine you're just about tired out.
Sarcasm aside, The Alchemist's Rage is a highly significant quest in that it marks the beginning of Torchlight 2's third and final Act. You are now officially approaching the end of the game, and the challenge will only go up from here on out.
When you arrive in the Imperial Camp area, leave the railway and approach the guy to the right with the "!" over his head. Speak with him and say hello. He will in turn bestow upon you your first real quest of Act 3, called Some Assembly Required. This will be your next challenge, and it will be a far more substantial one at that. Now that you have your quest, prepare to head out into the wilds of the Imperial Camp.
In order to prepare yourself for the intense combat ahead, you will want to scope out the lay of the land in this new area. Find the shopkeepers, Enchanters and other such workers and familiarize yourself with the layout of the area. Buy any new items that looks good, since you should have more than enough gold at this point to buy whatever you want and not feel like you've wasted your money when you inevitably stumble upon something better in the wilds later. You will want to be well-prepared here.
When you are ready, head out and on to the next guide to complete the Some Assembly Required mission.
