The Sixth Tablet is a custom quest loosely based on the Enuma Elish and the Seven Tablets of Creation, a collection of Mesopotamian creation myths.
I have used Babylonian Tablets to provide the game clues. These tablets will provide text; point at the lower part of the tablet, and it can be read. The clues are cryptic.
There are a lot of custom items. These will need to remain exactly in the custom folders position for the game to work.
The game is designed for the creation of a new game character, and you'll need Titan Quest Immortal Throne to play it.
My new created monsters are the Huns and Temple Priestess, and quite a few of other new monsters. The Temple Priestess's have acid blood, so they become rigor mortis very quickly; this is normal. If you visit a convent, don’t go in wearing armour, be respectful and observe the rule of silence. You might also want to contribute by making a treasure offering to the sisters.
The Huns are becoming a nuisance in The Sixth Tablet, having taken over a lot of cities and castles, after leaving their homes in central Asia.
There is only one setting for the game as normal. I've aimed to get a good game-balance, by playing through the game myself, and I have tried to make it challenging, but not stupid-hard.
The game is a quest of searching and exploring. And I prefer to have some proper battles, ... you’ll have to take on entire forts and castles single handed.
Game design history...
The maps and theme have changed and evolved. Originally the game was set in the area of Iran/Mesopotamia, but gradually changed to just the area along the south shore of the Black Sea.
I got some maps out of the map-decompiler, and have included/modified a few in this custom map. They were useful in finding new grasses etc. and also some little towns were well done in the original game. When you start the titanquester map, it will look very similar to Immortal Throne spawn point, but there is a chicken sitting on a big rock. The game then goes off into new scenery, and takes the route away from Greece into Thrace and along the Black Sea.

Here’s the story...
THE SIXTH TABLET
King Assari, lord of light, and ruler of the land of Phrygia and the city of Gordium, was informed by his major Esannas, of a plot by the priest Apsuki, product of an asexual birthing by the water dragon queen Tiamat of the underworld kingdom Upshukki.
Apsuki was the high priest of the Temple of Mammu, and he planned to lead the warrior virgins of the Temple of Mammu in a rebellion, to overthrow the land of Phrygia, and set himself up as king.
On hearing of this nefarious plot, King Assari did battle with the priest Apsuki and the warrior virgins and defeated them. Apsuki was captured and was cast into the pit of the Kosmocrata Worm, to be devoured alive.
On hearing of this, Tiamat the dragon, became enraged and by the power of her evil incantation, summoned a monster brood, to assist her in the overthrow of the kingdom of Phryria and the city of Gordiun, to gain her revenge. Tiamat emerged from Upshukki and laid waist to the kingdoms of Gogana, Persis, Elam and Susiana, on her onward and undefeated march towards the land of Phrygia and the city of Gordium.
Nothing could stop the dragon, and her monster brood, as city after city fell, to be razed to the ground. A huge number of refugees began to head for safety in the lands of Syria and Cilicia.
Our hero Tashudasa, had heard a sermon by the priest Berossos that the god Marduk had created man, by having his attendant priests, sever his head, and from his blood, on falling on the red earth of Mosynoeci had been fertilised and up sprung a living race of giants. These were the Titans, the great heroes of legend.
Tashudasa was very fearful for his/her beloved city Heraclea and its people, after hearing of the terrible march of the dragon army.
He/she decided that if he/she could seek the blood of Marduk, in the far off land of Mosynoeci, he/she might once again summon up a great race of Titan warriors, and lead them to do battle with the dragon and her monster brood, before the race of man was to be extinguished.
The priest Berossos had spoken privately with Tashudasa, and advised him/her of the Six Tablets of Enuma Elish. The tablets contained the wisdom of the gods, and the account of the creation of the earth and mankind. The first tablet was said to be hidden in the tomb of Thapsacus in the land of Lycia.
“Find the first tablet young Tashudasa and you will surely find a true path to the blood of Marduk. But go swiftly, as mankind is in terrible peril”.
Who will go and slay the dragon… and deliver the land from…and become king over….
Go Tashudasa, slay the dragon, and deliver us.
“thou hast sent me. O lord, to the raging creatures of the Uxii”…
I have incorporated a few maps form the original game, using map decompiler..
The Huns..
The masacre at Hawkes Drift..
Corycean Labryinth..
