Question

how do i get angelo in my party?i can't figure out how to get him in my party.

Answer 1

Happens at the end of the Maella Abbey section

The morning after, Angelo informs you that the captain of the guards wishes to

speak with you.  Leave the room and speak to the two guards out front of

Marcello's room to be let inside.  Marcello knows that Dhoulmagus must be

hunted down but he is far too busy as the new abbot to accompany them.  

Instead he assigns Angelo to join you on your journey to defeat Dhoulmagus.  

Marcello then gives you a very important item, the WORLD MAP which will be

indispensable on your quest.  Exit this room and then leave the abbey

entirely.  This will certainly be a good time to save your game.  When you're

ready then head off to the south.  Follow the path southeast of Simpleton for

a

ways until you eventually reach the Kingdom of Ascantha.
