'''NeoQuest II''' is a [[wikipedia:PHP|PHP]]-based [[wikipedia:role-playing game|role-playing]] [[game]] within [[Neopets]]. It was created by [[Mr. Insane]] and released as sequel to [[NeoQuest]] on January 29, 2004. Combining elements of fantasy and science fiction, the protagonist, [[Rohane]], is a spaceship captain who leads his crew through a series of virtual reality simulations. Unlike its predecessor, NeoQuest II features a four-member party of characters and rest points where the player can respawn upon death. Only a single game per account can be running at a time.
 
There are three difficulty modes: Normal, Evil, and InSaNe! Beating the game on each of these modes yields a different-coloured [[trophy]] and a [[Battledome]] weapon. A second trophy is awarded to the top ten fastest wins.


'''NeoQuest II''' is a role playing game within [[Neopets]] created by [[Mr. Insane]], sequel to [[NeoQuest I]]. In this version, a new battle system was implemented, along with the use of more party members (a total of 4).
NeoQuest II characters are featured in numerous [[Item|items]], particularly [[Plushie|plushies]] and [[Stamp_Album/NeoQuest_II|stamps]]. There is a [[Neoboard]] devoted to chatting about both NeoQuest games.


==Plot summary==
==Plot summary==
Following the same medieval and "in the past" feel, users control the role of [[Rohane]] who is presented as the son of a knight in [[Trestin]] of [[Meridell]], but in actuallity is a captain of a spaceship, and stuck in a hologram simulation. While playing, Rohane travels through 4 other lands ([[Terror Mountain]], The [[Lost Desert]], The [[Haunted Woods]], and [[Faerieland]]) meeting his other crew members ([[Mipsy]], [[Talinia]], and [[Velm]]) along the way, who are locked within simulation booths as well. Together, they try to regain control of the hijacked space ship.
The story begins in [[Meridell]]. [[Rohane]] the [[White]] [[Blumaroo]], the son of a knight of [[Trestin]], is leaving home for the first time. However, it is revealed that Rohane is actually trapped in a simulation booth, and the spaceship he commands is set to fly into the nearest star. Deciding that the simulation program holds the key to their survival, they descend into four other lands: [[Terror Mountain]], the [[Lost Desert]], the [[Haunted Woods]], and [[Faerieland]]. Along the way, Rohane finds and teams up with his other crew members, [[Mipsy]], [[Talinia]], and [[Velm]], who are locked inside their own simulation booths. With the defeat of [[King Terask]] in Act 5, they successfully regain control of their ship.
 
===Act 1: Meridell===
In [[Meridell]], Rohane is leaving the village of [[Trestin]] with only the sword his father left him. The surrounding area has recently become infested by hostile creatures. He makes his way to [[White River City]], where a wizard named Zombom has displaced the bridge, preventing anyone from crossing to the other side. Rohane defeats him and learns that he is working for [[King Skarl]]'s advisor, [[Ramtor]]. On the other side of the river, Rohane meets [[Mipsy]], a greenhorn [[Acara]] wizard who joins him on his adventures.
 
In the town of [[Lakeside]], whose citizens are increasingly concerned about the danger around them, there are rumors of a lost city inhabited by the undead. Only [[Potraddo]], an old hermit who lives in the nearby woods, seems to know anything for sure. He explains that Ramtor has very likely usurped the throne, and the only way to reach the castle is to navigate the mysterious desert city of [[Phorofor]]. Rohane and Mipsy use the magical orb within the lost city to teleport to Southeast Meridell. There, the pirate citizens of [[Seaside]] confirm that King Skarl has been locked in a dungeon, and Ramtor is responsible for the curse on the land. Rohane and Mipsy corner him at his [[Ramtor's Tower|tower]] and defeat him for good. They are hailed as heroes of Meridell until they abruptly wake up in a spaceship.
 
It is revealed that Rohane and Mipsy were actually in a simulation. With no way of leaving their rooms, they decide to enter the next simulation in search of answers.
 
===Act 2: Terror Mountain===
Rohane and Mipsy arrive in [[Terror Mountain]], where the paths across the mountain become clogged with snow, making it difficult to traverse, and monsters are swarming all the passes. After defeating [[Leximp]] and helping a city of [[Chia]]s, they learn that the [[Snowager]], who had long served as the protector of Terror Mountain, has been missing for weeks. In a [[Mountainside Inn]], they run into Commander [[Talinia]], who joins them.
 
Heading up the mountain and through a winding cave, dispatching [[Kolvars]] along the way, they eventually come to the Snowager. He was trapped by an avalanche which, by some magic, he is unable to move. In hopes of freeing him, the party proceeds to the very top, where they meet and defeat [[Scuzzy]]. Once released, the Snowager is revealed to be the overseer program and the snow the clogged data routes of the spaceship's computer. He breaks character and explains to them the situation.
 
{{Quote|Thank you for freeing me. Now I will be able to restore order to this mountain. ...But there is much yet to be done. Let us forgo this unnecessary pretence. I am a sentinel program, part of the ship's computer. My task is the keep the data lines clear and prevent rogue programs from taking control. A virus was inserted by an unknown enemy and managed to defeat me, locking me into a data trap. He breaks character and explains their situation.
Thankfully you have freed me. The ship's computer, however, is now under the control of the virus. I cannot defeat it; you must do so, by entering the other simulations, which I will try to unlock. The Lost Desert is your next goal. A program, who I know, is linked there, but I have not had contact with her for some time. Search the desert. Find her. Find the librarian.
 
===Act 3: Lost Desert===
A sandstorm rages in the [[Lost Desert]], impeding trade and travelers, while monsters and bandits roam freely. Rohane and his companions find themselves in [[Sakhmet (NeoQuest II)|Sakhmet]]. [[Princess Vyssa]] seeks a relic, the Medallion of the Wind, designed to control the weather. In order to locate the Medallion, she asks the adventurers to retrieve the Celestial Talisman from the [[Temple of the Sky]], which swarms with fierce creatures. The group defeats [[Siliclast]], the guardian of the Talisman. It directs them to a Ruined Temple, where the reanimated corpse of Pharaoh [[Gebarn II]] stands watch. Unfortunately, they soon discover the Medallion has broken in three, and they have only a single piece. But the death of the pharaoh triggered the mountains to move aside, allowing access to the northern desert.
 
In [[Waset Village]], the party encounters a [[Techo]] cleric named [[Velm]] with memory problems. He joins them, completing their four-person crew. Meanwhile, the other villagers are worried about a missing librarian named [[Lifra]], who was kidnapped a few nights ago and taken to the [[Palace of Ancient Kings]]. Rohane and the others go rescue her, defeating the [[Revenant]]. Lifra is actually another computer program whose proper name is Library Fast Retrieval Archive (LFRA). She explains that the Revenant was one of the many virus programs that had overtaken the computer and the Medallion a tool to clear the data lines. She gives them a password and sends them off to find [[Bukaru]], an old hermit who will disclose the location of the next piece.
 
After finding the second piece in the sand, they defeat [[King Coltzan|King Coltzan's Ghost]] in [[Akhten-Ka]], who recovers control of himself and directs them to a gemstone, the true power source of the Medallion. With it complete, they head to [[Zakharukh's Pyramid]] in order to restore the weather. As it turns out, the sandstorm was random data, and by removing it the ship's computers are now accessible. The heroes discover that the ship is heading toward a star, and they must enter the other simulations quickly before the ship's hull melts and they are burned alive.
 
===Act 4: Haunted Woods===
In the [[Haunted Woods]], an unknown malefactor has cast a spell to keep the sun permanently in the sky, trapping ghosts in homes and keeping other such creatures in seclusion. Residents of [[Shadow Gulch]] are convinced the perpetrator is [[Count Von Roo]]. Upon tracking him down, however, they discover he had been trying to cast a counterspell, but was being kept prisoner by [[Meuka]]. He claims to have seen [[Balthazar]], [[Hubrid Nox]], and the [[Spider Grundo]] working in collaboration to cast the real spell. Once Rohane and the others defeat the [[Spider Grundo]] in his cave, they realize that someone else was controlling him.
 
The group find a suspiciously cheery Balthazar, clearly under the influence of a spell, outside the [[Happy Fun Non-Haunted House]]. After defeating the [[The Four Faeries|quartet of faeries]] responsible, Balthazar directs them to Hubrid Nox. There, they learn that the true mastermind, [[Edna]] the Witch, had used the trio as an energy source to cast her spell. Before they can reach her tower, Rohane is attacked by the [[Esophagor]], who blocks the path.  


===Chapter 1===
When the group confronts Edna about her curse, she explains she had intended to keep the sun down, but had made a mistake. She reveals herself to be one of the AI on the ship's computer. The spell was meant to slow down the virus, but having got it backwards, the virus became more powerful than ever.  
[[Ramtor]], [[King Skarl]]'s advisor, takes the throne of [[Meridell]] from him and puts him in his tower's dungeon, and slowly begins to take over the land. In [[Trestin]], Rohane notices this change in the land and decides to head out on an adventure with his Father's sword. Along the way he encounters his shipmate Mipsy and adds her to his party.


===Chapter 2===
Mipsy figures out how to access the ship's computer from within the simulation and discovers that time is running out. With the sun fast approaching, the path to the final simulation opens up.  
Rohane arrives in [[Terror Mountain]], where the paths across the mountain become clogged with snow, making it difficult to traverse, and monsters are swarming all the passes. After defeating [[Leximp]] and helping a city of [[Chia]]s, he runs into [[Talinia]], who joins him. After defeating [[Kolvars]] they eventually come to the [[Snowager]], who was trapped by [[Scuzzy]]. After defeating Scuzzy the [[Snowager]] is released, and he's revealed to be the overseer program and, and the snow the clogged data routes of the space ships computer.


===Chapter 3===
===Act 5: Faerieland===
A sandstorm rages in the [[Lost Desert]], and [[Princess Vyssa]] seeks a relic, the Medallion of the Wind, designed to control the weather. After locating the pieces of the device, it must be taken to Zakharukh's Pyramid, for the weather to be restored.
[[File:nqii-terask.png|right|200px]] Rohane and company enter [[Faerieland]] in the midst of a [[Dark Faerie]] rebellion, with mercenaries and monsters running rampant. Communications with other regions have been disturbed, so a Guard Captain enlists their help. Unfortunately, many of the cloud paths were destroyed, including ''The Bridge of Mist'', so the group is forced to go through [[The Underclouds]]. On their way to [[Faerie City]], they pass the lost city of [[Cumulonimbus]] and defeat the [[Devilpuss]].  


===Chapter 4===
They find Faerie City has been taken over by villains commanded by [[The Faerie Thief]]. With demonstrable effort, they defeat her and retrieve the key to the [[Faerie Palace]]. Once inside, they learn that the Palace too was overrun by the forces of a dragon calling himself [[King Terask]], while Fyora was upstairs, locked in a sort of stasis. In order to reach him, they must first defeat two giant [[Pant Devil]]s.
Rohane appears in the [[Haunted Woods]], where a spell has been cast on the sun, keeping it stuck in the sky all day long, making it difficult for the residents as ghosts began to live in their houses, and keeing other such creatures in seclusion. Residents of [[Shadow Gulch]] say it was [[Count Von Roo]] who cast the spell on the sun, but it turns out he was trying to cast a counter-spell, and was being held hostage by [[Meuka]]. After they defeated him, the Count explained [[Balthazar]], [[Hubrid Nox]], and the [[Spider Grundo]] worked in collaboration to cast the real spell. After defeating each of them, it was found they were all held under control by a spell from [[Edna]].


After defeating the [[Esophagor]] which blocked the path to Edna, Rohane confronted her about the curse, and she said she was trying to keep the sun down, but messed up, possibly from too much ''[[Kadoatie]] Fur''. When asked if she could reverse the spell, she said no and dropped her ruse, revealing herself to one one of the AI in the ship's computer. The spell was meant to slow down the virus, but having got it backwards, the virus was more powerful than ever.
Once through, they apparently kill King Terask, who falls through the clouds. However, their faerie allies note that nothing appears to have changed. The group heads up to the West Tower to free Fyora, but are suddenly attacked by a much larger, stronger version of King Terask. After this second victory, they awaken to the real world, their simulation booths unlocked, and hurry to steer the ship away from the sun seconds before a collision.  


Mipsy then figured out how to access the ships computer through the simulator, and discovered they were not far from the sun, and a new simulation of [[Faerieland]] opened up, which could be seen through the clouds. Taliania noticed there was something wrong with it, and Edna wished them luck, and told them to hurry as there wasn't much time left.
==Gameplay==
[[File:nqii-chiascuro.png|right|frame|A screenshot of a town showing various gameplay features. ]] Players control a [[wikipedia:sprite|sprite]] of Rohane around the [[wikipedia:overworld|overworld]] via a navigational compass. Although there are a few optional quests and boss battles, NeoQuest II gameplay is very linear, with plot progression a matter of going to the right locations and defeating bosses. The world is inhabited by [[wikipedia:non-player character|non-player characters]] in towns and dungeons, most of whom the player can talk to. Gold, which is dropped from enemies, can be used to purchase a variety of potions and equipment from merchants.  


===Chapter 5===
Up to four monsters at a time will attack Rohane's party when moving around. On ''Hunting'' mode, the frequency of battles increases to every 2-4 steps. Experience points are gained by defeating enemies. With enough points, the characters will level up, grow stronger, and gain skill points, which can be spent on their unique skill sets. The maximum character level is 60.  
Coming into [[Faerieland]], Rohane and company discovered it was overrun by mercenaries and monsters after The Dark Faeries rebelled. Many of the cloud paths were destroyed, including ''The Bridge of Mists'' by a giant [[Devilpuss]]. Traveling through what remained of the clouds, Rohane defeated the [[Fallen Angel]] and giant Devilpuss on the way to the Faerie City. Once inside, they defeated [[The Faerie Thief]] who was coordinating monster attacks, and learned the Faerie Palace was overrun by the forces of a dragon calling himself [[King Terask]], who had taken the throne from [[Fyora]], the path to which was locked by two [[Pant Devil]]s.


==Difficulty==
On a combat screen, the player selects an enemy and can choose to either attack with the equipped weapon, use a skill, or use an item. Turns are determined by the character with the shortest waiting period. For example, if Rohane's next turn is in 2.1 seconds, and Mipsy's is in 1.9 seconds, Mipsy will move first. This makes slowing and hasting vital to battle strategy. Certain skills, such as Mesmerize or Celestial Hammer, can change turn order. Characters can ''Do Nothing'' for 1, 3, or 5 seconds, or ''Flee'' with a chance of failure.
'''Normal'''


Basic gameplay, where the boss's hitpoints and difficulty are lowest.
Healing is also possible through healing potions and skills (Velm's specialty). Resurrection potions cannot be used during battle. Should the entire party die, they return to the last resting spot and lose half their gold. On InSaNe! mode, the player must start all over.


'''Evil'''
At the end of each act, there is a short cutscene revealing more of the story.


Monster hit points are raised 50% and Boss's 25% of those in ''Normal'', and their strength and defences against certain skills is also increased, requiring the user to be a level or 2 higher to defeat monsters than they did in ''Normal''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*As of August 2006, there are a total of 61 NeoQuest II related [[item]]s, 25 of which are [[Stamps]] specifically for the ''NeoQuest II'' section of the [[Stamp Album]].
*The slogan of the game is "Live in your world. Get devoured by a Vampire Bearog in mine." This is a spin on PlayStation 2's slogan: "Live in your world, play in ours." Also, there isn't a vampire bearog in the NeoQuest series.
*Prior to finishing the first chapter of the game, the user is led to believe defeating Ramtor is the game's only task, and is given no clue (except for the circuit board tiles that are seen throughout the Act 1 world) the world is a simulation within a spaceship. The revelation surprised many users, as many were expecting a simple story set in a medieval land.
*The lost city of Phorofor is phonetically 404 (which is the HTTP error code for "not found").
*The phrase for Phorofor "ad ro un ta en" is made up of syllables from "En taro adun", which happens to be from the game [[wikipedia:Starcraft|Starcraft]].
*Mipsy says "I wish I didn't have these stupid shoes" throughout the game, but doesn't have shoes until near the end.
*There are circuit tiles showing up occasionally and randomly in the Act 1 map, giving hints that this is a simulation within a spaceship rather than the actual Neopian world.
*Prior to finishing the first chapter of the game, the user is led to believe defeating Ramtor is the game's only task, and is given no clue (except for the circuit board tiles) the world is a simulation within a spaceship. The revelation surprised many users, as many were expecting a simple story set in a medieval land.
*Chiaoscuro is spelled like chiarocuro, a technique of using light and dark in a work of art. It can also be translated from Italian as Dark Chia.
*Before getting the Wordstone, the Chias in Chia Oscuro don't "talk". Their language is a [[wikipedia:cryptogram|cryptogram]], and the Wordstone is a cipher that replaces each word with the right letters.
*The hermit's password, Alpha-three-seven-tango-echo-nine, translates to A37TE9 (phonetic alphabet).
*Anubits serves both as a reference to Anubis, the Egyptian god, and the bit, a eighth of a byte (a single 0-or-1 switch).
*[[Nox's Fortress]]: Various tiles (pillars / walls / boxes) on the 9 maps of Nox's Tower spell HUBRID NOX (one letter per level, without the space).
*Faerie Palace, Level 1 has a very high number of staircases leading up, but there's only one downward staircase on level two.
*Mr. Insane looks remarkably like The Architect (Matrix).
*According to Mr. Insane, Rohane was named after a character on the [[wikipedia:EverQuest|EverQuest]] Test Server, while Mipsy, Talinia and Velm were named after members of his guild.
*In NeoQuest II, all the married pets that have children are different species. For example, an [[acara]] and a [[wocky]] can have a child that is a [[cybunny]]. However, Rohane's "mother" is, like him, a white [[blumaroo]].
*Mipsy's red robe appears in the Terror Mountain, Lost Desert (background) and Haunted Woods cut scenes. In the game, however, she has no such robe (dressing up for the occasion, huh?).
*Velm, like Mipsy, has a fancy outfit in the third cut scene we don't see in the game itself.
*Rohane says "We emerge victorious!" regardless of whether there's really a "we" or not.
