Talk:Challenge Pack: A Trial for Adventurers/@comment-5337347-20130207024447

If you're setting up your crystals for a speed run, keep in mind that you never *have* to return to Cassardis, or go to the Witchwood. You also will not need one at the Bluemoon Tower if you can kill the Griffin before it flies off, and you can have a copy of the Wyrmking's Ring in order to complete the Wyrmking Ring quest instantly.

Recommended locations are as follows for speed runs. (in random order)

1. Right near the Mountain Way castle. This area is required for the quest where you drive off the Cockatrice.

2. The Shadow Fort OR Man-Swallowing Falls. (I recommend the Shadow Fort, because the Fortress Besieged quest can arguably be completed faster than the Aid a Research Team one)

Ignore the catacombs, that quest takes too long.

3. Hillfigure Knoll, for The Cypher.

4. The Stone of the North for Pride Before a Fall

5. The Greatwall, for obvious reasons.

I think that should be it... Keep one at the Bluemoon Tower just in case. Keep your wakestones, ferry stones, etc with you or your pawn. Configure skills BEFOREHAND. Cockatrice is weak to lightning, Griffin is weak to fire, and Grigori is weak to darkness. (you can also use a Maker's Finger on Grigori, but I've managed to get him down to one bar of health before the fight even begins.)
