Regions of Ruin: Runegate – Ealam Walkthrough
As you obtain the Runeaway Key, you will be able to travel to a different world, Ealam. Before heading to this new world, note that there are many side quests available in Otam. The worlds in this game are large, so you can take your time exploring them.
By doing this, you will be able to level up your character significantly and collect some rare loot as well. Once you have cleared Otam, you should then proceed to Ealam.
Speak With The Traveler
As you reach the new world, your first objective will be to speak with the traveler right in front of you. When you talk to him, a new location will be revealed. Also, note that if you select the second option and join him for tea, it will heal you.
Head To The Moonwell Oasis
When you arrive at the Moonwell Oasis, head right and talk to Zufar. This will start a side objective that is not necessary, but it is recommended that you complete it. Upon speaking to him, the Scarab Swarm quest will be triggered, and a new location will be revealed. Before talking to Masood, complete this quest first.
Scarab Swarm – Head To The Scarab Infested Grove
Once you reach the infested grove, head right, and some scarabs will attack you. You need to destroy their nests, or they will keep spawning. There are going to be five nests in total, and destroying them all will not take much time. While the scarabs do not deal much damage, they can damage your armor, so do not ignore them completely.
Head Back To Zufar
Now that you have cleared the area, head back to Zufar and inform him. After doing so, you will receive your reward, and it will be time to speak with Masood.
Talk To Masood
Simply head right from Zufar and enter the tent ahead to find Masood. Upon speaking with him, a new location will be revealed, and you will need to go there next.
Head To The Al’Rawi Camp
After talking to Masood, head to the new location marked on the map. Once you arrive, go right, enter the tent, and speak with Hakim. After speaking with him, a new quest called Search for Basir will be triggered.
Search For Basir
After receiving this quest, exit the tent and head left. You will find a person named Sayyad. Speak with him, and he will take you to a new location called the Hidden Encampment. Once you arrive, head right and be cautious, as there will be several enemies ahead.
Defeat The Enemies
As you fight the enemies, explosions will occur, so you will need to deal with those causing them first. One enemy will be on the right, so take care of him first. The other will be positioned at the top of a platform, throwing explosive projectiles.
Once you have defeated them, loot the area. You can climb upward using the holes in the walls. At the top, inside a small house, there will be three enemies. These are likely the final enemies in the area, so defeat them and collect the loot.
Continue Searching For Basir
From the top, head left, and you will find a bridge. Cross it, and the cage containing Basir will be there. Once you free Basir, return to the camp and speak with Sayyad, then Hakim. With that, the A New World quest will be completed along with Search For Basir.
Find Thrumgr’s Research
After you have completed two quests, a new one will start, but you will not get a lead. So, to get a lead, head to Masood. Head to Masood, and a cutscene will be triggered. This will start a new quest, The Qafari Governor. Talk to Masood again, and he will require your aid. The location of the Qafar Governor Estate will also be revealed.
The Qafari Governor
Head to the new location and then go right. As you do so, a cutscene will commence. As the cutscene ends, a battle against them will start, so get ready. After defeating the first ones, make sure to drink the jug of beer. Then go ahead, and there will be another enemy for you to take care of.
Once you have defeated him, head inside the house with the marker. The Qafari Governor will be inside, so as you enter, a cutscene will commence. He will then teleport you to his realm, Dvergr.
Defeat The Qafari Governor
As the cutscene ends, he will cast magic, and the projectile will travel toward you. This fight can be a little tricky, as he is casting magic. That said, you can avoid getting hit by the first attack by jumping and dashing, or you can simply dash through it if you have the ability unlocked that gives you i-frames while dashing.
Upon hitting him or dealing a big chunk of damage, he will vanish, and his soldier will appear. The soldier will keep blocking your attack, so deal with him using the backstab technique. Once the soldier is defeated, the governor will be back. After hitting the governor a few times, he will go down, and you will get back from his realm.
After defeating him, make sure to loot the chest in his house for some great leather armor.
Free Maleeka And Go Back To Moonwell Oasis
After you are done looting, head out of the house and free Maleeka. After that, head back to Moonwell Oasis and talk to Masood. Continue the conversation, and Find Thrumgr’s Research quest will update.
Head Back To The Base
Now you need to head back to your base, and Masood, Ya’qoob, and Hakim will follow. Then, head back to the new world, and a new location will be revealed.
Head To The Empty Campsite
As you go into this location, there are going to be some enemies you will have to defeat. After defeating them, you will need to wait for Ya’qoob. Stand right next to the fire and interact. Then click on the option to wait for Ya’qoob. Then he will arrive shortly after, so when he does, talk to him.
Select the first option, and he will take you to the Ancient City.
Explore The Ancient City
Once you reach the Ancient City, head right, and there will be a skeleton. As you approach the skeleton, a cutscene will commence.
Interact with the skeleton to get Thrumgr’s Note number 30. Once you have that, it is time to head back to the base and talk to Colastos. Tell him that you found the research notes, and then he will ask you to go to the old man in the library. Talk to the old man, and then a cutscene will commence.
Once the cutscene is over, talk to Colastos again, and the quest Find Thrumgr’s Research will be over. With that, a new quest, In Search of Glimmerstone, will commence.
Now, before doing this quest, let us explore some other areas and level up a bit.
Head To The Worm Infested Dunes
From the runegate, to the right it will be the first area. Head there, and then there are going to be some weird enemies. These are the worms that you will have to attack once they get out of the ground. It will not be tough to defeat them, but it can be a little annoying if you miss too much.
Upon defeating most of them, you will get a Gizzard Stone, which may be valuable for someone, so it is better to hold on to it for now. Make sure to loot the area as you are going ahead.
Head To The Crumbling Ruins
The Crumbling Ruins are going to be south of the Worm Infested Dunes, so head there. As you go ahead, a short cutscene will commence. Once the cutscene ends, loot the area, go ahead, and there will be some worms.
Defeat the worms, open the chest, and then head up the stairs. After that, talk to Oddor Tel an. This will start a quest tasking you with killing the worms, but as you have killed them all already, select the first option, and the quest will be completed.
After that, ask him to join your settlement, and you now have a new member. This is why exploring is very rewarding in this game.
Head To The Soft Sand Tunnel
This tunnel is going to be north of the Moonwell Oasis, so go there. Defeat the worms, loot the area, go ahead, and talk to Mashdi. This will start the quest Rescue Mashdi and Tawfeeq. You will encounter four worms on the way back, so defeat them all, and then when you reach near your cart, the quest will be completed.
Head To Halfway Haven
Halfway Haven will be north of the Qafar Governor Estate. Once you have reached there, head right and talk to Pont Bofnur. He will be on the far right side of the area. Select the first option and then continue talking to him. Then you will get a quest, Seeking Justice, and a new location will be revealed.
Seeking Justice
You now have to head to Delni’r Hideout, which can be found right next to the empty campsite. Go ahead, enter the building, head up, exit through the door at the top, and then talk to Delnir, who will be on the left side. Make sure to drink the jug of beer before going down to him.
Free The Bereketli Field Slaves
After you have talked to him, he will give you a quest to free some slaves. A new location will also be revealed, so head there. Head to the Slave Fields, and as they have enslaved your kin, feel free to attack them. There are going to be only two of them, so defeat them, and your kin will be free.
Head Back To Delnir’s Hideout
Now head back to Delnir’s Hideout and talk to him. After talking to him, Death to the Kidnappers, a new quest, will begin.
Head To The Slave Smuggling Hideout
Once you are in this location, head right and then enter the big building. As you do, an enemy will attack you. Defeat the enemy, head up, exit the building, and then defeat the enemy on the left side.
After defeating the enemy, head inside the building, defeat another enemy, head left, push the ladder down, and free the slaves. With that, four new workers will join your settlement. Now, as the area has been cleared, loot everything. Make sure to head to the right side, go down, enter the building, and loot everything there as well.
Head Back To Delnir
Once you have looted everything, head back to Delnir and update him on the situation. After that, he will assign you a different quest, The Missing Runaway.
Head To The Halfway Haven
You now need to ask around the people in this area about the dwarf. Pont Bofnur will know about him, so head to him. Then head to the Tendon River to search for Murg. The guards ahead will stop you and then charge 500 to pass by. Just ahead will be Murg, but he will run away, so instead of chasing him, head up the ladder and at the end of the place, interact and wait.
Then Murg will be back in his hiding spot. Talk to him, and then he will join your settlement. Then head back to Delnir, talk to him, continue the conversation, give him 500 food, and then five new workers will join your settlement.
Protect The Hideout
As Delnir has left, he will task you with protecting his hideout. So head down, and some enemies will attack the hideout. Defeat them, and then Delnir will return. With that, a new quest, A New Hideout, will trigger.
A New Hideout
Head to the Concealed Cave Mouth. It can be found on the northeast side of the map. Once you are there, head left, and you will find an Orc. It will continuously hit you, so be careful, as it can destroy your entire armor in just a couple of hits. Once you have defeated the Orc, head back to Delnir, talk to him, and then go back to the cave.
Then head left, talk to Delnir, and give him a hand. Then head right and talk to Mirran to invite him to your settlement. Then, to the right, there is going to be another workstation. Upgrade it and then talk to Murok. Then head back to Delnir, and he will assign you a different quest. However, let us return to the main quest.
In Search Of Glimmerstone
Now, as you have no idea where the Glimmerstone is, you need to ask Hakim about it. Head to the al’Rawi Camp and talk to Hakim. Talk to him and then talk to him again. This will update your quest twice, and you will then learn about what to do next.
Head to the empty campsite and talk to Ya’qoob. You will need to wait for him first. After talking to him, he will reveal the location of a new place, the Smuggling Depot.
Head To The Smuggling Depot
Once you are there, head right, enter the building, and attack the enemy ahead. Then go up the ladder, head out of the building, and then cross the bridge on the right. Then drop to the bridge, enter the room on the left, defeat the enemy, and then shoot the explosive barrel.
Then head right, defeat the enemy, enter another building, head down the ladder, defeat the enemies, and shoot the explosive barrel again. Then loot the area, head out of the building, go down, and defeat the enemies. After that, head left, enter the building, go up, and when you reach the top, instead of heading right, jump and dash to the left.
Then drop down to land on the platform and then enter the building. There is going to be an enemy inside. Defeat him, and then the quest will be updated.
Head To The Governor Estate
Ya’qoob is already in the Governor Estate, so head there and talk to him. After that, go ahead, and a short cutscene will commence. Then go ahead, and two royal guards will stop you. Defeat them and then enter the building to confront the governor.
Defeat The Governor
This governor will also take you to a different realm and will have the same attacks. Defeat him using the same tactics, and the fight will be over. Make sure to loot the chest inside the building before leaving. After that, head back to the empty campsite and wait for Ya’qoob. After the conversation, you will have to confront the governor of Bereketli.
Head To The Bereketli Governor’s Estate
Once you are there, head right and enter the second building. Inside will be Captain Arafaat. Talk to him, and it will result in a fight, so get ready.
Defeat Captain Arafaat
This fight is going to be very weird and perhaps the most difficult one yet. He will also take you to a different realm and attack you with a sword. However, as you attack him, you will take damage, and then approaching him will become dangerous.
That is because he turns into a monster and deals a lot of damage. Even using the backstab technique is risky here, as he is fast and turns sides way too quickly. With just two hits, he had taken almost two-thirds of my stamina bar. That said, he is pretty slow, so you can run and heal.
After defeating the monster, the captain will respawn, so attack him a few times, preferably with the backstab technique. Simply dash past him a few times, and the monster should appear again. This will not work unless you have unlocked this skill.
Defeat the monster, and the captain will appear again. This time, upon defeating him, the fight will be over.
Confront The Governor Of Bereketli
After defeating the captain, head right and enter the next building. Then talk to the governor, and he will tell you where the Glimmerstone is. After talking to the governor, head back to where the captain was and open the chest.
Head To The Flooded Ruins
Once you are there, head right, and when you see the runes at the top, there will be a symbol. Activate it to unlock the path at the bottom. Then go ahead and activate another symbol to lower the water level even more. Then go down, jump, and dash to the platform on the right, and then jump again to the right side.
A platform in the middle will appear for you to jump on. However, do note that these three platforms in the water will appear when the other one is about to descend into the water. So you will have to be careful with the timing. Then activate the symbol ahead, and the area will be cleared.
Head Back To The Base
Now head back to the base and talk to Colastos. After talking to him, a new quest, Thrumgr’s Legacy, will begin. So now, head inside the library and talk to the old man.
Head To The Moonwell Sanctuary
Now you have to go to the Moonwell Sanctuary, and Colastos will join you. However, before you go there, make sure you have 1000 stone, 100 quality metal, and 500 glimmerstone. You should already have stone and quality metal, so assign your workers to get the glimmerstone from the Flooded Ruins. Make sure to assign five of them so they can gather 500 of them quickly.
If you do not have quality metal, you can simply make it from the refinery. You will have to upgrade the refinery a couple of times more to unlock it if you have not already done that.
Once you have the materials, head to the Moonwell Sanctuary. When you reach there, go ahead and build. Once done, Thrumgr’s Legacy quest will be completed, and The Sultan’s Reign will start.
The Sultan’s Reign
After you are done building, head back to the base and talk to Colastos. Now you need to find a way to get inside the Sultan’s Palace. So, head to the Bereketli Governor Estate and talk to the governor. He will then write you an official letter that will help you get into the palace.
Travel To The South Gate
You now have to travel to the south gate to reach the Sultan’s Palace. I have attached the image above if you are having trouble locating it. As you go ahead, there will be a dwarf arguing with a guard. Pay 600 gold on his behalf to complete his quest.
Then go ahead, enter the building, and talk to the captain. Pay the entry fee, exit the building, head left, and enter the lower district. Head right, and there will be some dwarf slaves. Free them, and three more workers will join you. Then head left and enter the Grand Bazaar.
In the first house, you will find the Artisan. Feel free to help him, and then head right to enter the Ruby District. Then head right and talk to the one guarding the first house to update the Artisan’s quest. Then, enter the house and loot everything to continue this side quest.
Note: To complete the Artisan’s sidequest, make sure to head to the first area in the palace you went to. In order to complete the quest, you will need to talk to him as he is waiting in the outside area. Do note that you will need to be in the area outside of the lower district.
Enter The Palace
Now head right and talk to the palace guard. Show him the letter of introduction, and he will take you inside. Then the advisor will take you to the Sultan. He will then order the guards to attack you. Defeat them and approach the Sultan.
Defeat Sultan
The Sultan will now take you to his realm, so you have to defeat him. He will then summon some insects, so kill them all, and when the shield around the Sultan disappears, attack him. He will throw an orb toward you, so you will have to time your dash carefully.
This orb can cause a knockdown, so be careful. After you have dealt enough damage, he will continuously spam the orb attack, which is very deadly, but if you are at range, you can dodge them. However, if you are close to him, it can be very dangerous.
If he is spamming the attack and not letting you close the distance, you can simply use a projectile to damage him. That should work best in this situation. Then he will spawn some guards, so you have to defeat them.
He will then remove the shield, so make sure to deal some damage to him. As you deal damage, he will summon the red monster. After defeating it, head to the Sultan and deal a big chunk of damage to finish him off.
Talk To Sultan
Once you have defeated the Sultan, talk to him, and the quest The Sultan’s Reign will be over. Then head right, loot the area, and go back to the base. As you go back, a cutscene will commence. With that, the main story of Regions of Ruin: Runegate, along with the walkthrough of Ealam, comes to an end.
