manticore is received from nikola after you give him the gold golem he asks for if you make it to anti-hero and talk to him in halamar.  the second picture, if you mean what looks like poseidon's trident, you have to be a werewolf to get it.  you need the shell from fearichen and ask crossbones about it, which requires being a werewolf because he'll kill you if you try talking to him without being a werewolf; the trident of course is only if that didn't change with the new character creation selection of being a devotee of poseidon.  the terracotta army requires izinagi's eye which you get after completely the meteroite quest in the museum. 

the problem wasn't that the mask wasn't in the loot after killing the offending party.  the problem was that the scripted death for taking off the mask always took effect as soon as i attempted to move towards the party once free of them.  that's what i meant by giving us a chance to win it back.

i'd like to humbly make some suggestions for your consideration:

1.  give demon possessed characters a second choice.  rather than just allowing them to get an exorcism how about letting them do a quest of some sort for the demon which rewards them with an upgraded terror mask?  such an option opens up another interesting rp choice for those of us that do that sort of thing:  a character that willing chooses to remain bound to the demon.
a.  another thing with the terror mask, make it so when you're captured it can't be stolen from you.  while trying to become a ghost i found that enemy parties steal that mask 90% of the time.  if not that, at least give us a chance to win it back from the party that stole it.  it's not like you voluntarily took it off, so croaking when you attempt to win it back is not nice, lol.

2.  make manitcore's head either thinner or smaller all around.  it's a little difficult as a lancer to hit anything when the tip of your lance is in his head making it impossible to see it.

3.  now that there are level requirements for necromancy ranks, remove that necessity to make each of those recipies to make the next rank like it used to be.  honestly, i like the idea of needing a certain level to get the next rank much better than having to make each of those recipies in the necronomicon.  i mean, the ai necro parties are specialists, why can't we choose to rp a speciliast necro as well?

4.  consider using one of the chests in the nightmare realm to bring forth a nightmare themed mount, armor/weapon set, or unit/hero.  have the required item be x number of the nightmare cube itself.  i understand why you made the nightmare cube self spawning like that, but one would think that whatever entity created the cube wouldn't have made it do so without more of a reason than just annoying who ever owned it... well, unless of course Loki created it; that one's sense of humor might very well have thought it a grand joke.

5.  to expand the after level 30 game play you could give anti-heroes more choices.  such as when zeus congratulates the player upon reaching anti-hero status, have him send the player to either of his older brothers.  as more of a good aligned anti-hero, the character could go to poseidon and become his champion like the character creation choice.  as a more traditional anti-hero, using the darkness to combat the darkness, the character could go to hades and become his dark champion.  some of the rewards a character serving hades could get are the items they would get otherwise by serving the blood fountain and fighting him, becoming a lich or adding in a choice to become a death knight.  have always been partial to death knights as far as undead went, and i've been waiting for that option to appear in game since we got the option to become a lich.
a.  another reward for this choice could be whichever god the character chooses to serve teaching them how to upgrade hired blades/merc cavalry into an appropriate elite unit:  templar/crusader type units for poseidon, dark knight/champion for hades.

so, are these going to be used in a later update in a manner similar to the cocoon in chelez?  even with the nightmare cube, it seems rather a troublesome way to store junk for later use, secure as they may be with your character being the only one with access to the nightmare realm.

not exactly sure if this is truly a discovery at this point as i haven't figured out what to do with it yet, but i haven't seen anything about it in this thread.  while running around in the nightmare realm exploring i came across a chest.  it looks exactly like the cocoon in chelez.  i've tossed most everything in it without result.  my character isn't a necro, so i don't know if that's why i can't do anything with it at this point or not.  anyone else come across it and figured out what to do with it?

found a rather minor bug that really doesn't have much impact on the game.  while on the "follow the marshal" quest as well as the quest from the peasant in the tavern to go aid their village against bandits the quest journal reads the phase of the moon rather than the quest info that's supposed to be there.

edit:  not sure if this is a random bug or maybe just a glitch for the particular character, but i finished putting the black baron on the throne of evil, and it came up "no string" instead of his dialogue and won't finish the quest.  i say glitch for the particular character because i loaded a backup save of a different character, cheated him up to 30, and did the black baron claimant quest to test it out and finished it just fine, though i didn't get the ghost machine which i read the baron was supposed to give me during the claimant quest --probably just missed something on that one seeing as i was just trying to make sure i could finish the quest with the character.  anyway, i don't know what glitched out the first character.  the non-glitched character was just an anti hero and nothing else; neither were necromancer characters in service to the bloudfountain; the glitched one was fairy kin, a ghost, demon possessed with the terror mask, an anti-hero, and death itself, having wasted enough time grave robbing to get death as well as medusa's shield --which took longer than getting death, freaking bad luck of the possession i guess.  by the time i finished getting the baron on the throne it was over 200 days, so i don't know if that contributed either.

yes, you must be a vampire as well as giving her the flesh now.  that was implemented a few versions ago.  no more getting both lamia and crossbones.  it's now one or the other because you must be one of their progeny to recruit them.
