I founded Alghouls in the graveyard

[game widow]

the Graveyard, yes and also the swamp at night between the Mage's tower and wyvern island near the bodies of the hunter and the girl ... tons of necrophages (mostly, but not exlusively alghouls) hang out there. I believe there are also some in the crypt in the sewers and those respawn endlessly

[SRID]

I only founded ghouls and graveirs in the crypt.

alghouls respawn each night in the swamps. there is one certain place north of ruined tower, where only necrophagae respawn. also the crypt, cemetary and the crypt in the sewers, but there respawning is more randomn

I can not not start echinops and aghoul side quest.

I have bought and the read the books containing description of these monster, but some how in the quest information, it is still written that i have to read books about these monster to finish the quest, does anybody knows what is wrong?

I do not have these quest problem in prologue and act.1, is this a bug?

please advise

The side quest requires you to gather their parts. You need to have read the books to be able to gather them. So right now you should go kill those monsters and bring their parts to the quest giver.

I have gone to the garden where it is marked on my map, but there is nothing there, why?

[ST_Ghost]

Echinops are in the swamps.

The marks on the map are where you must bring the items that you harvest from the monsters. They do not indicate where the monsters are at all.  :)

both  the echinops and aghouls are in the swamp they come out at night if I'm not mistaken

Also make sure you have them in your Beastiary  to make sure you have the skills

Thanks for all the hints, guys.

I have just applied patch 1.2 to my 1.0 version successfully,
but now these quests status is not active,  I can not track both quests,
I had the books and have read them, there are entries about them in the bestiary.
I have talked to the garderner and kalkstein, but I can not make the quest active,
does anyone know why?

[ST_Ghost]

I don't think those quests were meant to be tracked unless you already have the ingredients.

So as everyone said, just go to the swamp, collect them, then go back.
