Quest Journal Every time Joseph is asked to complete a task, it is added into his Quest Journal. The journal is separated into a quest section and a description section. · Description--When you highlight a Quest, its description appears in the Description section. Each Quest's description reminds you of the tasks needed to accomplish it. Descriptions are updated when new information is gained. Note: There are two types of Quests: Required and MiniQuests. You can call up the Quest menu at any time by pressing q on the keyboard or clicking on the quest icon located on the hud. Map As Joseph and his party explore new areas, the areas become visible in the Map screen. You are standing at the point of the white cone, where the cone indicates the direction of the camera. · Explored areas can be seen as soon as you view the Map screen. 17 · Areas you still need to explore are blacked out and mysterious. If the current area has more than one level (layers), click on the arrows on the bar labeled layer to explore other layers. You cannot view a layer's map until you've actually explored that layer. Switching Characters As more people join your party, you can control them individually during the adventure or in combat. Press the s key or click on the Skills icon to view the list of available skills for each character. Along the top of the menu are six different categories of skills. Use the cursor to highlight and select a category or press the tab key to access other party members' Skills Menus. · Combat--These skills include the ability to Backstab, Dodge, or Parry when in battle. · Stealth--Some of the characters can choose to sneak or hide by using their Stealth skills. · Examination--Depending on the character, this skill enables you to assess a potential enemy's hp or to look at a door to see if you can pick the lock. · Weapons--The Weapons category shows the types of weapons each character can use in combat. · Spells--This displays the type of Spells a character can cast. Using an active skill costs Ability Points, represented by the blue bar next to a character's portrait. More skills become available to the party as they gain experience levels. Passive Skills Passive skills are automatically activated in the appropriate situation. You can see the status of passive skills in the Skills menu, but they are never selectable.
