How to Play
Notes:
- The game should have an English version; the developers even made an English-language website and promotional materials. But it seems that none of the Western publishers showed interest in the game, and the publisher of the Russian version, ND Games, did not want to independently handle the Western release, so the English version was cancelled. The developer closed shortly after the release of the Russian version, releasing only two patches for the game, and the official Russian-language website was closed within a year
- Luckily, user Litmanen made an unofficial English translation, you can download it here or on our website
- Be careful, the game was using infamous StarForce DRM that can break your system! Make sure to use NoDVD before the first launch, or you will launch the automatical installation of StarForce DRM drivers
- There was two NoDVDs for the game: first one is simple "hacked" version of executable file to remove DRM check, that NoDVD is used in repack version of the game, it had some issues, check this thread for more details about the repack. The second one is based on patch 1.02 and was made by KRBDZSKL, he tried to remove most of StarForce DRM files and adapt game files for better performance, we recommend to use that NoDVD, read this thread for more details

Hey Dan53, you have the very old version of the game with Starforce protection, That's why you cannot see those folder I mention. You need to install the "NoDVD+Patch 1.2+Settings". You can find it on Rutracker (I don't think I can give you the link here) and need to download the entire file (game +patch) because there is no direct download for the patch only.
Since we are touching "sensible" subjects and I don't know if we can talk about that here, I suggest you contact me on RPGCodex (same username) or, if you find one of the two thread on rutracker, in one of the two the last message it's me (with a different username). It's very easy.
I think I have to add those files directly to the translation.
Ooops, no luck.
Your mega file, talks about the scripts and resource folders.
But the game version I got here, doesn't have such folders, but instead, .db files with that names.
So, no way to install your translation.
Thanks anyway !
Hey Dan53, hope you'll enjoy it. Let me know if you find any issue. Here (slower reaction time) or in the Codex thread, if you will.
Litmanen, bless you man !
Dropping what I was I playing to reinstall Beltion and continue from the save I zipped, now with your translation.
Thanks a million !
Hello Admin, here you can find the last update to the translation. People played it and didn't find any big issue.

Yeah, I have seen it. Strategy First is publishing again some old games of theirs. Beltion hasn't been the only one.
@Litmanen Thank you, we added your translation to our website. Unfortunately, Strategy First found out about this game somehow, and started selling it on Steam a week ago, so it is not abandonware anymore :-(
If you're interested, I've translated the game into English. You can find the translation here:
https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/beltion-beyond-ritual-old-russian-rpg-based-on-fantasy-novels.153886/page-2#post-9515414
The file includes a README with installation instructions.
Note for non-Russian speakers
This game doesn't have very much dialogue, so I recommend using a translator on your phone and taking a picture of the dialogue and having it translated in real time. Most translators have a "text from image" utility so you don't have to type any Russian phrase out without having a Russian keyboard.
I just take pictures with my iphone and a button comes up to translate the text to english
Seems like it's the same model as ascension to the throne for the main guy
Don't speak russian so had fun till I didn't know how to go on.
Hope someone finds a written walkthrough, then one can translate it to english with google docs.
