Kingdoms Of Amalur Reckoning Walkthrough Part 1 – Out Of The Darkness

"I woke up in a pile of corpses, somewhere deep underground. I hgave no memory of who I am and no clue where I am. I need to find a way out of here".

Welcome back from the grave! After your character has climbed down from the pile of corpses, it is time to start figuring out what is going on. Head forward, up the stairs in front of you. Look on the table at the top of the stairs to find a disposal note. This explains some of what your body has gone through.

Continue to the left, hugging the wall to find a skeleton you can loot to get 8 gold. Now head back the other way, over to the incinerator. You can pull the lever, if you would like, and put the body in. Otherwise head over to the door to its left. Loot the skeleton there to get a Rusty Longsword. Head forward through the door then turn right down the corridor. Follow it along for a minute and you will encounter two giant rats. You will learn the basic melee command at this point.

Rescue the gnome
Continue along the corridor and you will find a Gnome under attack from two assalants. Kill them then you will start talking with the Gnome, Encel. He helps by explaining who the attackers were, who Hugues is and a few other questions, like Death and the Well Of Souls. Say Goodbye after that and it is time to start heading for Hugues.

Find a way out
Turn around and follow Encel. There is a chest on the left that has some Old Boots in it. Be sure to look the bodies of the Tautha to get the battered armor as well. Now head over to the door beyond the chest to move forward.

You will emerge into the Well Of Souls itself. Now head forward to the right. You will reach a closed door. Pull the lever to the left of it to open the door. Head on through and straight down. You will arrive in the storage room. Smash the crates to your right to find a chest with 2 lockpicks and some flimsy greaves. Head over to Encel and loot the weapon rack nearby to get a crude iron shield. Smash the nearby crates to get 38 gold and get at the chest behind them with Torn Gloves, 14 gold, 3 lockpicks and a minor healing potion.

Get a longbow
About now two more Tuatha soldiers break in. Get familiar with using your shield then start attacking them. Once you kill them, loot their bodies then go for the one just down the corridor that the soldiers emerged from. Loot the next body to get a birch longbow, which you will be prompted to equip to your secondary weapon slot.

Head forward down the corridor and you will encounter a pair of Tuatha archers. The game will explain how to shoot your bow and that your arrows will regenerate over time. Encel will open a nearby door for you once the archers are dead. Move through it.

Find a way out
Head into the next room. You will now learn how to use a strong ranged attack, simply by holding the secondary attack button. Use this to kill the pair of Tuatha archers above you. Head into the room and to the right. Destroy the boxes to get at the chest behind them which has tattered documents and 5 lockpicks. Now head up the slope and stop at the first archer you killed. At his feet is a treasure sack with some Rusty legplates and something else in there. Equip them and head on.

Encel will point out another corpse with a pair of Rusty Daggers on it. You will be prompted to equip them. Head over ot the left and destroy the crates there to get at a hidden chest behind them. It contains some Rusty Gauntlets. Equip them if you want more defense. Now head up the ramp. At the top Encel will encourage you to sneak up on the Tuatha ahead of you to get some quick and easy kills. Just move a steady but slow-ish pace and you will be fine. This Tuatha has a dent cuirass on him. You can repeat this on at least one of the Tuatha ahead. They will move one you kill one of them but it is possible to sneak attack both. After you kill them head to the next door and open it.

In the next room you will learn that you can also use arcane powers. Follow the prompts on screen to get familiar with the spell casting system inside the game. Now head forward, and a little to the right, to find a chest with Torn Robes, 13 gold, minor mana potion and minor serpent's venom potion. On the nearby table you will find another note from a scientist fascinated by the spider's venom.

Now continue to the south, out of the spider room. Turn right when you can and you will encounter a spider. Use two Storm Bolts to quickly kill it. Loot the spider to get your first staff, a birch one. Now approach the spider web in front of you and perform a melee attack with it to burn the webbing away. Head on through the now clear doorway. 3 more spiders are waiting on the other side of the webbing. Kill them using the staff, or your prefered melee weapon, then loot the spider sac across from the entrance. Inside it you will find old shoes, a minor mana potion, 2 bones and a skull. Now head south through this room, using the staff to once again burn through the webbing.

On the other side of the webbing you have 2 more spiders. Kill them then smash the crates in the room for 28 gold. Be sure to loot the chest as well for 2 more lockpicks and 2 minor healing potions.

Escape The Well Of Souls
Head south then east out of the last room into the hallway. You will encounter Claude Ganne. Be sure to talk with Encel after this and ask for additional help to get some extra goodies. In this armory you will find a chest with rusty legplates, a dented cuirass and 2 repair kits. The one to the right of that has crude iron daggers, worn leggings, battered armor and 6 lockpicks inside it. The next one has old shoes, torn robes and 3 minor mana potions.

Once you have collected all you can, head over to the door in the east. Open it and go on up the stairs. You are now at the top of the Well Of Souls. Go to the south from the top of the well to the next door. Go through it to enter the Labrotory.

Inside you will meet Hugues at last. Run through all the dialogue options to get up to date on things.

Escape Allestar Tower
After Hugues explains all he can, it is time to start running again. Follow the stair case upwards. Open the doors that block your way and use the run, as you do not get tired.

At the first landing there are 2 Tuatha in the area. One is patrolling while the other is investigating a corpse. Kill them then continue to the east through the door.

At the next landing there is gnome corpse you can loot for a minor healing potion. Beyond the door you will find a Rock Troll and 2 Tuatha soldiers. Kill the soldiers first, then focus on the Rock Troll.

Rock Troll
This thing is the hardest enemy to date. Watch as its swings its club into the ground and roll to avoid theice fragments it launches at you. Close in and swing when it pauses to attack you. The troll is slower than you are even just jogging so use this to your advantage to move around and get behind him or just use more hit and run tactics. When it gets to the end of the fight, mash the button prompted to get a massive experience bonus.

Once the troll is down, you can loot it for:
Squire's Ring, 36 gold, cloudy protection shard, minor venomguard and a minor healing potion.

Now head to the south, toward the double doors. This will get you out into Allestar Glade.
