Gothic Peteredition ended in disaster. There were no traces of Jim and his men except for the man who gave the alarm, who was badly injured and rambled that the camp has been attacked by something terrible. Two nights later, after an intense dream, Peter manages to assemble the Orb. Peter visited Professor Jim's university in order to obtain more information of the Orb. The Orbs had been originally wielded by priests. While leaving, Peter heard that the geologist, Sir Bob, was found dead. As Peter becomes more and more relentless in g that he wanted to dispose of it, only to be told by DaFheg that if he did so, the unknown force would kill him anyway.

But the event that made him turn away from the rituals and DaFheg was when the baron and his men trapped and kidnapped a family that lived on a dairy farm.

I don't know if there will be anything left after I consume this drink. Don't be afraid Peter. I can't tell you why, but know this...I choose to forget. Try to find comfort and strength in that fact. There is a purpose, you are my final effort to put things right. God willing, the name DaFheg of Dinkleburg still invokes bitter anger in you. If not, this will sound horrible. Go to the Dungeon, find DaFheg and kill him. His body is old and weak, and yours, young and strong. He will be no match for you. One last thing. A Shadow is following you. It's a living nightmare, breaking down reality. I have tried everything, and there is no way to fight back. You need to escape it as long as you can. 'Redeem us both Peter.
