I just completed this quest tonight. Here are some notes that might help:
- the links on Allakhazam to the angelfire sites have excellent descriptions of the quest. and are accurate.
1) talk to Moldren the Wise (minotaur) to get the first quest "The Talking Plant" .. do turn ins to Moldren
2) go over to Wilpred (treant) and talk to him by saying "Moldren" to him and follow the text .. he gave "The Library" quest .. turn both books back to Wilpred (the treant)
- This was a very frustrating portion of the quest, because when I went into the rooms for the books, in Valdeholm, my graphics got screwy, and I could not move from first person view. I could not back up, move forward, sideways, etc, and the walls looked blank gray
- so, I had to switch to third person view, and I had to rotate my view (my keys are F12 x4 then rotate using Alt+left arrow key or right arrow key)
- I had to rotate my view so that I was looking at myself from the previous room with the table .. while stepping forward / sliding sideways a little, as needed to get to the bookcase on the far wall
- when the view would go screwy again .. I rotated again until my viewpoint was from the table area again .. only 1 or 2 steps would move my point of view to third person still, but I would be from inside the room and the graphics were screwy, so I would have to rotate again, and move a little
... I repeated this over and over until I was near the bookcase and use normal clicks around the bookcase to loot the book
- then I moved to the other room .. had same problem .. so I did same thing again until I got the second book
- the mobs conned KOS to me in those rooms, so I did fresh invis outside before going into the door each time, because each room took me about 10 mins to get each book, due to the rotates, and not having a lot of space where I can view myself third person from the table, etc
3) I got third quest automatically from Wilpred, "The Destroyed Portal", at that point and after collecting the parts, I did turns to Moldren (the minotaur) per the quest. The Portal Guardian was not hard at all. He didn't summon, but I got a couple adds when I pulled him to the east, he kept breaking root, so I slowed him and killed the adds, then killed him.
