Trial of Gallus is a side quest in Act X of Dungeon Siege.

Trial of Gallus is part parody, partialy list of those who worked on the Dungeon Siege game and partialy parody of the secret cow level in Diablo II. It is not a task that would show you in the journal. You can do this quest when you found book Trial of Gallus at the end of the main quest.

Gathering the key items[]

Trial of Gallus Book[]

Template code: book_glb_lore_riddle This lorebook is lying on the ground in the Utraean sanctuary at the very end of the Peninsula's main Utraean Circle quest, so obtaining it requires gathering all the Townstones first.

"Climb to the sky on the sunbaked mesa
Give to the moon with the treble stones
Place down the eye of the crystal temple
Gift of the steel from a virgin hand
The final piece within your grasp
A leap of faith convenes his trial."
―Trial of Gallus Book

Fury's Eye[]

Template code: fury_eye This is a generic collectible object hidden in the single player campaign, Ehb. The location can be approached in single player or multiplayer mode.

  1. In multiplayer, start at Jeriah's Trading Post in the Kingdom Of Ehb. The "Crystal Temple" holding the Eye is a mini-dungeon in the middle of Ehb's Subterranean River / Crystal Caverns region, go to the point where is the underground temple. In the last room (there are several chests) is the active center of the room floor - after the opening secret chamber, you will there find Fury's eye.
  2. There are several landmarks at the cul-de-sac where the temple is situated: a ruined arch, a unique square monolith with a face on it, and in multiplayer, a Res Shrine.

Knife[]

Template code: dg_g_d_1h_fun Merchants never stock copies of the newbie knife, and nor can any monsters in the campaign settings drop one, to obtain the knives you need two computers.

Some methods of getting one:

  • Colleague will set up a game, you join-in and create a new character. Throw down your knife as soon after launch. Log out and log in again with your character and pick up a knife.
  • For the advanced users: in dungeonsiege.ini add the line: multi = true it allows you to run multiple copies of the DS on one account.
  • Start a multiplayer game with two game clients. Create a brand new character and transfer his knife over to your main character.
  • Run Dungeon Siege using the Siege Editor's dev executables, DSMOD or DSLOAMOD. These have the developers' console (~) which allows you to spawn the knife on the ground or drop it from a new character and load your main or party.
  • Modify the character's save file with tankviewer and tankcreator, or create a small mod/siegelet that generates the knife in some context.

Forgotten Mesa[]

Once you have all three items so you can travel from Crystwind to Quillrabe (or vice versa), from Quillrabe, follow the canyon floor and river back in the direction of Crystwind (blue arrows, pictured). Do what the legionnaire guard says not to do and climb, via the elevators, "to the sky on the sunbaked mesa."

Or from the H.U.B, leave along the path as if to Hiroth, but hang north across the first rock bridge (red arrows, pictured).

The concealed entrance to the Forgotten Mesa (purple arrow) is guarded by a Green Drake. It is supposed to open only for someone carrying the Trial of Gallus lorebook, although there are reports of it opening for anyone passing by, periodically.

Here are some elevators to get to the place where lies on the ground three plates. The direction in which you came place gradually: Fury's eye, knife and a book. If you do this correctly, objects disappear and elevator come which take you to entrance to the hens.

Trivia[]

  • When these items are donated to the pressure plates in the forgotten mesa, they vanish. It is nevertheless possible to recover one— or with a party of three people, all— of the items in the split second after the magic lift is summoned and before the items poof.
  • The items symbolize one's journeys in the Peninsula (the book), Ehb (the eye), and multiplayer (the knife).
