Sacred 2: Collector's Edition + Bonus
content auto translated from {from}

The energy of movement, the energy of magic, the energy of thought... This unified force is the life-giving breath of the very world...

Just a couple of days ago, a review of this collector's edition finally appeared on the site (it's strange that it took so long), but it was of such low quality that it broke a collector's heart. I decided to take matters into my own hands and fix the situation, so you don't get the impression that this publication was released poorly.

So, the contents of the Russian collector's edition Sacred 2: Fallen Angel:

  • - Licensed copy of the game "Sacred 2: Fallen Angel" on 2 DVDs

  • - Special version of the game "Sacred 2: Fallen Angel" for Hi-End computers on a separate disk

  • - Sacred Gold game

  • - Audio disk with the soundtrack to the game by the legendary band Blind Guardian

  • - User manual

  • - Sacred 2 artifact on a leather cord

  • - Album with art materials

Let's go through everything in order and in detail.

Brochure

Included with the box, it lists the contents of the edition and describes the game.

Box

Beautifully designed, it looks like a thick tome of spells. Leather binding, gold embossing - a rare case where you want to put the box on the shelf just for beauty.

You can't just open the "book"; it’s tied with laces and sealed with wax.

I consider breaking the seal sheer sacrilege and a violation of the collector's value. Therefore, I personally carefully cut one of the laces at the base. It doesn't spoil the exterior appearance.

In fact, the "binding" is just a protective cover for a cardboard box (but we won't tell anyone about this).

The contents are neatly placed inside the "book."

On the left page, there are several potion recipes. Very useful potions for everyday life, by the way.

Potion of Visions.

Cannabis herba (Cannabeceae) + lactis

Not recommended for use to avoid problems with law enforcement.

Sacred 2 Artifact on Leather Cord

In fact, the cord is not leather at all. It’s some kind of plush material. Not only is its length insufficient to wrap around your head, but it also frays and tears easily. In the first photos, the cord was still intact; later, my wife generously lavished a silver chain on me, on which the amulet fit perfectly.

It comes with instructions for use.

By applying the amulet to different parts of the body, we gain various bonuses.

Actually, there are some other body parts to which you can apply it and receive additional power, but to avoid this being read by children under 18, we’ll keep quiet about that.

The heart needs to be broken in half. It's best to bite it with pliers for a cleaner cut. The metal is very soft, and there's a significant risk of breaking the wings.

These wings act as weights for the ends of the chain. The chain itself needs to be threaded through the slots of the amulet, according to the instructions. The result will look like this:

I’ve never seen a better amulet in collector's items. You wouldn’t be ashamed to wear it on the street.

Disks

The Sacred Gold Game.

I won’t go into detail about it. This is the first part of the game, along with all expansions.

Audio Disk with the Soundtrack to the Game by the Legendary Band Blind Guardian

What? You don't know the fathers of fantasy metal? My wife and I have all their albums on our shelf. If you haven’t heard this band yet, hurry and fix that unfortunate omission!

DVD Box Sacred 2

All three disks are stored in one box. It comes with a user manual. This is how the DVD box of the game is sold.

The disks are elegantly laid at an angle; it was even hard to take them out. As I found out later, putting them back in was even harder.

1 DVD disk is the HI END version, which contains: Elite Graphics + patch to v2.34.0. These textures are designed for a more detailed display of surfaces in the game; their use makes sense only if you own at least a 19-inch monitor with a resolution of at least 1280x1024 or a similar widescreen monitor. Otherwise, you won’t notice much difference in the picture. These textures are enabled in texture quality settings, under the "maximum" position.

The user manual is black and white but generously sprinkled with pictures.

Map of Ancaria

It's not announced, but it still exists. On the last page of the book, just behind the artbook.

Oh, if only it were a separate poster, bigger, bigger...

Artbook

It’s located on the last page of the "book." Small but very colorful. It presents all the game characters of Sacred 2, along with some curious art.

The book doesn’t fit in the scanner, so I completely photographed the artbook. Enjoy!

Conclusion

Here I am with the amulet (already modified) and the "book of mysteries" in my hands.

Pardon the shirt from Assassins's Creed. I had nothing else fitting for the atmosphere at hand.
