This
place is a maze, so be prepared to spend some time figuring out how to
get around. I found Far Sight very helpful in here, as it allows
me to see the entire map. Normally all you can see are the
pathways, which is kind of difficult to make your way around sometimes.
Upon
first entering you'll see Esselarea standing near the entrance.
She wants you to rid her grove of an ogre that has taken it over.
Agree to help her, then head slightly northeast to the portal.
When
you first get through the portal the only pathway leads straight
north. In the first clearing you'll see a Gremlin standing
there. He'll offer to help you if you can answer his
riddle. The answer to his riddle is a rose. He'll then
direct you to a certain pathway.
This
is a good time to mention that if you wander around a bit you'll come
across a couple clearings containing some Spore Beasts, Worgs and
Serpents, and there's also a few Serpents slithering around on their
own.
Use
the map at the top of the page to make your way to the second
gremlin. This one is very difficult to talk to, as he only talks
in numbers. First say hi, and from then on you'll be given
numbers as your options for how to reply. The first answer is
1234.3456. The second answer is 4567., the third answer is 7890.,
the fourth answer is 5678. After this you can either say 2345 and
then click the done button, or just click the done button. Saying
anything else will just offend the gremlin.
Find
your way up the northwest corner of the grove now, and you'll find
yourself standing at the entrance to a clearing with some plain green
bushes, and some bushes with red on them. Don't step on any of
the bushes with red on them, as this will send you back to the entrance
of the clearing. Make your way to the southeast corner of the
clearing, and go down the pathway and talk to the third gremlin.
He'll direct you straight north to pick some of the pods off one of the
red bushes. I've never done this before fighting the ogre, so I'm
not sure what it does if you have them.
Once
you're ready, go down the other southern passage from the clearing to
fight the ogre. He'll drop a Shielding Charm when you kill him,
and next to him is the bottle of Xian Ale. Around the corner to
the southeast is a little stash of treasure that you can take,
including some Bolts of Life and a Heroic Brew.
Make
sure that you get everything you want from the Grove before going back
through the portal, because one you go through you won't be able to
enter the Grove again.
