Hearthstone Tavern

An actually good text guide.
Great power:
  • 1st engine: Hearthstone Tavern (starting room)
  • 2nd engine: Soldiers quarters (the room to the right of the main fireplace in the starting room)
  • 3rd engine: Sleeping quarters (left of the main fireplace and down the hallway, first doorway on the left leading upstairs)
  • 4th engine: Go back down the stairs and turn left.

Under Pressure:
  • Find 5 valves, one will be dropped by a zombie.
  • Known locations for the other 4:
Hearthstone Tavern (starting room)
  • Just to the right of Deadshot Daiquiri on the bar
  • On the stage podium (opposite side of the room from the bar)
Soldier’s Quarters:
  • None so far
Gamble Room
  • None so far
Hallway
  • Bookshelf between the Mage’s Quarters and the stairway
Mage’s Quarters:
  • Directly left of Jugger-nog
  • Between the door and Jugger-nog on the bookshelves
Sleeping Quarters:
  • Check all the bunk beds
King’s Quarters:
  • Just left of the Double Tap machine
  • On the low table between the doorway and the box spawn

A way back:
  • Shoot the hearthstone above the fireplace in the starting room, then pick it up.

Gnomish engineering:
  • Use the teleporter in the Gamble Room (first doorway to the left of the main fireplace where the hearthstone is located)
  • Using the teleporter costs 1,000 points and will send you to a mostly empty room with the PAP machine (no zombies)

Hearthstone Travelling:
  • Use the glowing rock behind the PAP machine to return.

Vaulty Doors:
  • Vault is located in the King’s Quarters; once in there turn right, walk up the small stairway and it’s the safe just to the left of the table.

Sacrificial Practices:
  • Go to the Mage’s Quarters and activate the cauldron on the opposite side of the room from the doorway the order is random but will be all of the following below:

Blood Sacrifice:
  • Kill zombies and they will randomly drop blood, pick these up until the zombies stop dropping them (it seems to be about 1 in 5 zombies drop one); actually I think it’s 10 drops.
  • Once you have enough blood go back to the cauldron in the Mage’s Quarters.

Gold Sacrifice:
  • After picking up the Gold Ingot run upstairs to the sleeping quarters; once in the room turn left and place the ingot into the hearth.
  • You must then kill zombies near it to collect souls.
  • You’ll know if it is done when the ingot turns into a Gold Ring; take the ring back to the cauldron.

Fire Sacrifice:
  • Once you obtain the Fired Crystal you must place it in all four fireplaces around the map.
  • The order is random but they are located in the Starting room, Soldiers Quarters (right of the starting room), Gamble Room(left of the starting room) and King’s Quarters (at the end of the hallway); look for some blueish glowing smoke inside the fireplace in order to know which one you need to do next.
  • Once you have found the correct fireplace insert the crystal and wait about 1 minute (didn’t actually bother timing it). It’ll look pink from a distance when it is done.
  • Pick the crystal back up and look for the next correct fireplace; repeat this process for all other fireplaces.

Vault Expedition
  • Take the key back to the vault in the King’s Quarters; once used pick up the “Book of Souls”.

Book of Souls:
  • Now you must fill the Book of Souls with zombie souls in every room on the map (except the hallway). Do this in any order you wish; you’ll know you are done in a room when the book stops collecting zombie souls. Pick up the book and move on to the next.
  • Once you have completed all the books the annoying NPC’s will start talking again.
  • Pick up the book again.

Altar-cations:
  • Once you have completed all the soul collecting go to the PAP room and place the book on the stone altar opposite from the Hearthstone. After placing the book you will have to listen to some dialogue and then after a few minutes you can activate the book again to start the final boss fight.

The Lich King
  • Before the fight even starts you have to listen to a bunch of NPC rambling for a long time; the fight itself is underwhelming.
  • This boss is stupid unbelievably tanky and honestly not very fun to fight; you do get all the perks after the fight ends but honestly at this point you should have all of them already anyway.
  • Once his health reaches 0 the NPC’s will ramble on for another few minutes and then you will automatically be teleported back to the starting room in the tavern.

Houdini
  • After defeating the boss you can now go to the front door to end the game.





Other stuff
Plushie things:
  • Hearthstone tavern ceiling, left of fireplace
  • Soldiers quarters: above the table in the center of the room
  • Mage quarters: enter the room and turn right, first window frame.
  • Sleeping quarters: enter the room, look up and slightly right (opposite side of the room)
  • Kings quarters: While standing in doorway look up and slightly right (in the rafters)
