New BlackGate FAQ/Walkthrough

Post by asimpkins »

I figure a lot of people currently playing 'U7 - Part I' come through this message board. I recently played through Black Gate about a month ago. I spent some time on it and tried to be very thorough... and I took lots of notes as I went along. I ended up making a walkthrough for the game. While it's not realistic to claim I've discovered anything new since the game came out years ago, I wasn't able to find a FAQ that had all the side quests, easter eggs, caves, islands, and wilderness treasure locations in one place (or listed in a logical order). That's what I intend my walkthrough to be.... if you use it while playing through the game, in the end you will have missed nothing noteworthy.

So yeah, if you are playing the game right now, take a look... or even if you just know the game pretty well. I'd be interested in any comments or suggestions. I'd like to have every significant event, quest, treasure, and curiosity documented in it.

I've given it a quick glance over - and already I've found a few side quests that I missed out on! Heh... I thought I was pretty thorough when I played through U7 last time too... ;)

Looks like you've done a great job! I'll be referring back to it often I'm sure! ;)

This looks very good, and there are some sidequests described that I've missed too.

Pretty cool to see a brand-new walkthrough for such an old game.

About the nudists in the bee cave... you need to talk to Tseramed about them before you find out who they really are, and you may need to have him in the party to get them to admit anything.

I'm pretty sure you don't need him in the pary... because I didn't have him when I did that. But that part about talking to him first... I'll check that out. Thanks.

Yeah, any contributions are welcome... One thing I feel the FAQ is still weak on is what I labeled 'Side Amusements'. Things that aren't really quests, but are amusing/interesting enough to warrant a mention.

Yeah... you do need to talk to Tseramed first, but you don't need him in the party. I'm trying to add names into the credits, so if you want me to put anything more than SB-X, let me know...

Regarding side amusements, you might want to look here:

It would be good to have all these integrated into your faq (IMHO.)
