Legends Of Illarion: Nostalgic Remaster Edition is now available for download. More details about the changes can be found in the download page.



Legends Of Illarion is an RM2K3 game based on stories from Illarion, an old online fantasy roleplaying game.

It features approximately 25+ hours of gameplay time, an epic scale story, a touch encounter system, tons of puzzles/skip puzzle functions, and a simple crafting system that allows you to create weapons/armour/items based on resources obtained after battle. It's an old school type of game, and I think you'll enjoy this game if you want to play a relatively competent and balanced full game with some fun adventure and creative ideas.




This is the prequel to Legends Of Illarion. You can play either game first, but I actually suggest maybe playing the prequel first, if you want experience the whole story in chronological order.

Thanks for 10,000 downloads!

Wow! 10,000 downloads! Is this game really that old now? Where has all the time gone..... Also, the last time I checked, this game is now the 75th most downloaded complete game on RMN, which is pretty amazing all things considered! Anyways a big thank you to everyone who downloaded this game during all these years, and thank you to everyone whose support made it possible for me to make this game and the prequel as well!

Sometimes people ask me if I will ever make a sequel to this game, but honestly I never had much ideas for how that would go. It's more likely that I might make some short stories about certain characters that take place in the past, just like the prequel.

Speaking of which, here is a short game I made for Seasons of RMN event! It's called Frozen Slumber, which takes place after LOI2 but before LOI1, so it's kind of a... mid-quel? It's not much, but it'll have to do for now! Enjoy!

And once again, thank you everyone!!!

You're welcome !
A few typos :
  • Speaking with queen ZF, Aragon says "Therfore, we need..."
  • ZF says "only those who(...) is allowed" => are
  • after the race, ZF says "we will fight togther"

Starting Xaveria's scenario. She's really weak compared to Badmosche : even if she's only 2 lvl behind him, she has only 2 techs (he has about 9 or 10). I know she gets better later on with Prayer spells and all, but right now she's such a drag !

Nope, Oil Lamp does nothing... just another throwback to the old MMO.

Things like the anaconda one really baffles me sometimes, since I'm sure I've fought all monsters in that area tons of times. @@"

I like the idea of the extra level ups for winning the race!

Wow, good eye on all the tree tops! Thanks!
Ha ha ! I'm sure you do !

Ok ! I'm in chapter 3, I think, where the party splits. I first chose the magi on their way to Tanora's temple.

  • I really like the new design of the temple ! But I'm not sure the two free healing sources are necessary : you get fishes after almost every second fight in the temple (I've maxed out fishing in the temple btw) and many monsters drop berries too. The monsters here are very easy to defeat (local thunder does wonders). I think one healing stream at mid-course would be far enough.

  • There's a monster stuck in a wall in map0035 (temple3) at 028_022.


  • In Aragon scenario, speaking with Minsc, Dyluck says "Let do this => Let's"

  • After the fight, you get the message "Recieved $Amazon Neckalce."

(By the way, is the Oil Lamp of any use ?)

  • I think the sound effect loop in the jungle is too short : there are too many roars...

  • One anaconda event (ID0030) is triggered with Enter, not "contact with event"

  • This scenario is really short (even if the trial is really challenging !!!) and these characters are left behind experience-wise. In my game, Cosma and company were lvl 21, 20, 20, whereas Aragon ends at lvl 15, and Dyluck & Sabrina at lvl 17. Maybe you could add some forest maps (Oh joy! more forest mapping !!!), or a sidequest in which the team would have to fight some monsters to prove their worth (or rapture some males, or whatever)... I for one added a lvl up benefit when Sabrina wins the race (+1 for party / +2 for her : she deserves it !)

  • There are several mapping issues in the jungle, in 006_038, 013_007, 030_067, 055_037, 045_013, 059_022 and 064_050


  • One part of the stump is blocked (in 013_027 for instance). I don't think it should...

I swear, I know how to spell sacrifice. I have no idea how that kept happening lol.
Haha ok ! It's another word for emerald.
But I hadn't seen the misspelling before yesterday ! I guess you can leave it that way !

Typos :
  • Drakhen, after the battle, says "All serve Moshran (...) and obeys"
then "Sacrafices must be made"
  • Drakhen, after the battle against red skeletons, says " only those who sacrafice"
  • Shi Long : "into a river and got seperated"

In general, it is intended that you bring some of your own bread and fish to survive.

For some reason, I believe that's how smaragd was spelled in the original Illarion MMO long ago, that this game was based on. By the time I found out the correct spelling, I decided to just leave it as a homage, and also because I didn't think people had heard of this word before haha.
Oh no ! Not the birds !!!

Well, I got through after a few tries... Getting better at it !
After a few level ups, the mountains are easier, but I needed about 15 fishes to finish the area.

Typos
  • Tea time : Jhereg says "to replentish"
  • before KOTR, when you speak with Echnaton,in his 3rd message box, he's named "Echanton"
  • Drawing contest : "omenous clouds"
    in the results, they say "the winner of the conest"
  • Investigation : after checking the smokestack, Sabrina says "somehwere else"
  • Greyrose keep : Badmosche says "we recieved"
  • Wizard armlet crafting : the recipe says "smargad"
edit : actually, the item is spelled smargad everywhere

Greatly improved the secret passage under Mortai's house !

OK, I'll probably add some more MP item chests around, and make the monsters drop some MP items for their normal battle drops.
The MP deplets quickly and the monsters are too tough to be defeated without magic.
They don't give grain nor fish, so you can't rely on fights to get recovery items.

Haha. I'm very good at finding issues. ^^

edit : I have the same feeling in Lofty mountains : no monster here gives fish (though one group gives grain) whereas my team mainly relies on magic. I went back to town to be sure to have plenty of fishes.
In LoI 2, ennemies often drop berries or fishes, which come in handy when your skills are mana consuming.

For the ravine part, is it hard because the monsters do too much damage? Or you don't have enough MP?

I can't believe I never saw the antidote thing and the chest thing in all these years. Sometimes I wonder if there's some gremlins hiding in my computer and messing things up or something @@"

Btw, I know there will be many chests misspelled as "Recieved" later on =P
Just finished chapter 1...

I think the ravine part is far too difficult, even with 2 magic users.
The fire spirit is very hard too, and victory depends on luck... Damien, with the ice book doesn't seem to do much damage... I think he should, since he cannot hurt the spirit with his own spells.

Programming issue : The chest holding an antidote in the ravine (event0044) can be opened again and again. Its "open state" page isn't triggered with the good switch.
(I hope I'm being clear. As a French, I'm not used to explain this kind of things in English...)

Typos :
  • Echnaton, in the 1st cut scene with the fire spirit says "don't sacrafice yourself"
(IIRC, there are many more sacrafices, later, with the lich...)

  • Damien in the 2nd cut scene with the fire spirit says "I could use my magic to seperate them" / then "refused to be seperated" / then "when I tried to seperate"
  • Start of chapter 2, Damiens says "until a dire siuation"
  • Damien, when meeting Cosma and Jhereg, says "as a representitive"
  • In the data base, Antidote is misspelled "Andtidote"

I don't think I've changed the music in years, except for better quality versions of the Rhapsody songs (I considered replacing them completely, but meh, it felt nice for nostalgia). It could be the midis sound better on newer computers too.

nobody's ever mentioned all these mistakes

Well... I'd seen this a long time ago, but I hadn't bothered to mention it... Shame on me...
Well, I'm making amends !

In Elisa's shop, a dwarf lists all the tools you can get in town. He mentions a needle, whereas the woman in the shop gives us scissors.

Typos in TB :
  • Zeratul Aiur (to the right of the tavern) says "realtively"

  • Charminia (near Gods' statues) says "pretty good theives"


As pleasant as ever ! Aren't the musics improved ?

Wow I'm surprised that after all these years, nobody's ever mentioned all these mistakes near the beginning! Even I never noticed the kobold, and it's so obvious!
Hello ! Maximax's back for more testing !

The beggining of the game is indeed much easier : good point !

Typos :
  • in the credits (image) "everyone else who's assistance" >
    whose
  • intro, 2nd part "under Monshran's control"
  • In Mummy ruins (start), Erdrick says "to dungoen explorers"
  • When you gain xp in battle, the message says "acccumulated"

Graphics :
The "kobold" sprite hasn't been well cut, and 4 blue pixels shouldn't be there !

Do you want me to go Star Wars and rename this Legends of Illarion Episode 4? Then I can call the prequel Episode 1 =)

I'm still working on a minor update for this game by the way... coming soon in a few days...
Wait a sec, isn't Prequel what comes before? So why is number 2 the prequel? :D

You need MS Mincho Font. Windows XP and higher should contain this font already. Otherwise google and download this font. (Put it in the /Fonts/ subdirectory of your Windows dir) You may have to reboot afterwards.

Edit: Or trying getting it here:
https://rpgmaker.net/engines/rt2k3/utilities/1/
I look as this, it looks real good. I begin playing sounds real good. I begin to read... is there a font I need to download?

I cannot find anything in your downloads or in your game directory that fix the font. I can read like a couple words but not everything. A little help please.
