Actually, I'm talking about the infamous "Ring of the Ghost," "Ring of the Fae," "Amulet of the Clanker," and "Mirror of the Medusa"...
What do they do? How do they work?
Someone told me that the Ring of the Ghost increases the skill in clerical magic, and the Ring of the Fae in elemental magic... But this isn't written anywhere. Or maybe it means that you can learn, for example, grandmaster spells at the master level?

Does anyone know?

And also, at the same time: "Heart of the Forest," which was stolen by "people from the super-tree on the island in the Tularesh Forest" - how do I complete this quest? I found the Heart in the Mercenary Guild, and I talked to the tree -

The Mirror of Medusa grants immunity to petrification; the quest is given by a druid who lives in the Rampart.

Many unique items don't give bonuses, for example, the Mantle of the Light/Dark Priest, and the Amulet of the Clanker gives a bonus to Alchemy.

The Mirror of Medusa grants immunity to petrification; the quest involves a druid who lives in the Barricade.

So, does the Mirror need to be given to someone else? I remember when I played the game about 5 years ago, I put on the Mirror, and my character was almost constantly petrified – I was happy that there was another twist in the game. :smile28: I didn't really trust this amulet from the start. The inscription on it, "Too bad we didn't have it earlier," looks very suspicious. Regarding the Ring of Ghosts, I've noticed that if you wear it, all the monsters in the next location you visit, like ghosts and ghouls, respawn, and the ore reappears... But this might not be true. :rolleyes: And there's some kind of mystery with the Ring of Fae. In the "Bukovskaya" version of the game, I put it on, and mercury and blue mushrooms started to "grow" in all the locations I visited... Maybe it's not related to the ring, maybe it's a bug... but it would be better if it were a feature of the game. ;) (although, I also haven't hit any of the evil trees in Tularene yet – but I have the feeling that it's the resources from the Tularene location that are being copied to all the others)... Have you encountered anything similar?

If you play the English version of the game, these "mysterious" artifacts have clearly defined bonuses (for example, the Ghost Ring increases Spirit magic, and you can see this if you right-click on your Spirit magic skill in the "Skills" menu). However, the localizations seem to have issues with these items – and if the bonus on an artifact is not specified in its properties, the artifact usually simply doesn't work; you can just throw it away and give it to your grandmother. :smile35:

The Mirror doesn't need to be carried anywhere; that was said about the Heart of the Forest. And where did you find the Ring of the Spirit and the Mirror of Medusa?
Also, the Clanker Amulet should be in the laboratory, but I was playing as the light faction and found it in the guild of mages, in the Bracada

Personally, no matter how many times I've played, I always found the Ring of the Ghost (or Spirit, depending on the translation) in the Hunter's Lodge in the Barrows location, and the Mirror of Medusa, as far as I remember, was in the dwarf mines in Bracada. It should be noted that amulets that grant immunity to petrification are also easy to find in shops, so this Mirror isn't that impressive.
Also, both of these artifacts "dropped" from monsters, rather than being found in chests.

Uh..

Yes, and also both of these little artifacts "dropped" from monsters, rather than being in chests.As far as I remember - the Ghost Ring is always in the same chest in the Haunted Mansion (it's not a "hunting lodge" - but a "haunted house"), and the Medusa Mirror drops from the Medusa Queen on the lower level of the Red Dwarf Spears - but these are all minor details )))

Anyway.
Ghost Ring - gives a +50% bonus to Spirit Magic skill
Fairy Ring - +50% bonus to Air Magic
Clanker Amulet - a big bonus to Alchemy...
(as they say) Generally, all these abilities can be found on ordinary magical gear as well...
Forest Heart - needed for the third prof of the Light Ranger.

And the glitches I encountered with resources and ore spontaneously appearing where they shouldn't - are supposedly not related to these artifacts... But one always wants to think that such strange things depend on these artifacts, so I'll keep thinking that)))

As far as I remember, the Ring of the Ghost always lies in the same chest in the Haunted Mansion (it's not a "hunting lodge" - it's a "haunted mansion"), and the Mirror of the Medusas drops from the Queen of Medusas on the lower level of the Red Gnomes' Stronghold - but these are all minor details.

...and the Ring of the Fae, as far as I remember, still drops from one particularly large dragonfly, which, for some reason, they call fairies...
I know, I know, that "haunted" doesn't mean "hunting," and "mansion" isn't a "small house," but that's how it was called in my localization, so I'm used to it...:smile43:
And I was right about the Mirror. These copies are found in Bracada, if you remember.

InSighter;89896

In short.
Ring of the Ghost - gives a +50% bonus to the Spirit Magic skill.
Ring of the Fae - a +50% bonus to the Air Magic skill.
Amulet of the Clanker - a +large bonus to Alchemy...
(as they say)

But this is not entirely correct. It's not a 50% bonus, but a bonus of +some number of skill points. That is, for example, if you have Spirit Magic - 7 points, then with the ring, when calculating the effectiveness of spells, it will act as 10 points (approximately - I don't remember exactly, plus how many points).

InSighter;89896

In general, all these abilities can also be found on ordinary magical items...

That's true. The artifacts are not unique.:(

Put these rings on a hero who has the corresponding skills and click on the skill. There, along with the description, +1 or +2 will appear. This is the bonus.

As for the respawn of monsters, in some locations, it happens much more often than in others. These include the Barrows and the Evermoore islands (I don't know how they were named in the Russian version).

Yeah, in the English version, that's how it is. But (in my personal) localization, there's no +1 or +2 for these artifacts!:smile51: And as I see, I'm not the only one with this problem.

the artifact isn't four, but (!) five. The fifth one is located at the bottom of the sea (the last quest) under the sunken ship. (there's a chest hidden right below the waterline). It's called "Temple in a Bottle" and it teleports you to a secret location, a kind of joke from the developers. In this temple, there's an exit to Harmonade, and all the NPCs are people (non-interactive clones), as well as chests with infinite jewelry, and two "supermen" – Robert the Wise and that dark one. There's also a trick with infinite gold (two bots facing each other, one sells crates, the other buys them). And there's a room with NPC parodies of all the heroes from movies and commercials of that era. In short, you can have a lot of fun there, it's a pity that this gag is at the end of the game and not at the beginning, like in the sixth part.
