## What is The Quest Classic?

The Quest Classic - Hero of Lukomorye, Part V: Island of Buyan is an expansion to The Quest Classic, a beautifully hand-drawn, immersive and enchanting world full of exciting challenges. After enabling the expansion, you can continue to play The Quest Classic with your existing character(s) to explore new areas and quests. However, if you don't have The Quest Classic, you can also play the expansion as a standalone game.

Just when you thought you could enjoy your honeymoon on the beautiful Island of Buyan, you learn its Prince has been assassinated and the artifact providing the island's ancient defense of invisibility has been blown up. It looks like some powerful and evil force is attempting to control Buyan and enslave its people. Grab your weapons, Hero, it's time to fight for freedom again. Your prize could be the throne of Buyan.

To access the new areas (not applicable if you are playing the expansion standalone), go to Mithria harbor and talk to captain Hanty, then select "HOLV" as your travel destination. It is recommended to reach at least level 61 before trying to take on the challenges of this new expansion.

The game uses File Sharing in iTunes. You can save and restore your save game files (named "TheQuestSaveX.pdb", where X can be 0 to 20) using iTunes (go to the Apps/File Sharing section when your device is plugged in).

The Quest Classic - Hero of Lukomorye V has been developed by Zarista Games (www.catacomber.com) and was adapted to iPhone by Redshift.

I found this game to be equal as the other in being really entertaining until I had to practice  black magic using the heart of a bird for a ceremony and that is crossing the line of what I can call fun ... so no stars
