PlayStation.com - PlayStation®2 - Drakan: The Ancients' Gates™

Q: Can I revisit areas from earlier in the game?
A: Sometimes. Some areas can only be visited once, such as Shadowmire, the Andrellian Islands, Kragmor and most places that are reached by using magical teleporters. However, Rynn can use the Gateways in Surdana to connect to any of the other active Gateways. There are four crystals in front of the Gateway in Surdana. Each crystal corresponds to a different Gateway in another part of the world. Rynn can select the destination of the Gateway by standing in front of the correct crystal and pressing .

Q: Why is aerial combat so difficult?
A: Have you tried locking-on to enemy dragons by pressing ? That makes hitting enemies much easier since Arokh's movement will center around the enemy he's targetting. Click here for more tips on dragon flight and aerial combat.

Q: How do I get from Ravenshold to the Northern Tundra without being stomped by Blackwings?
A: Rynn must bring Arokh into the Northern Tundra. This can be done by landing him at the cave entrance in Ravenshold, and then walking him through the tunnel that leads to Northern Tundra. The Blackwings won't seem so tough when Rynn has a Dragon of the Order on her side!

Q: What's the most important skill to raise?
A: There's no right answer to this question. Melee, Archery and Magic all have their advantages and it's up to you which skills you want Rynn to excel at. No skill can advance past level 8. Rynn herself cannot advance past the 12th level of experience. This means she'll earn a maximum of 11 skill points over the course of the game, so there aren't enough to master all the skills. At best she can bring one skill to level 8, and spread the remaining points among the other skills. Decide for yourself whether you want to play primarily as a fighter, archer or mage.
