I have to ask for more tips but I am stumped, In the meditation spire how does one get up on the skyway area? I've got the round key and I can see where it goes but I can't figure out for the life of me how to reach it.


Also: What's the spell combo for dispell?

cool, thanks.


Also, neat magician trick that I just figured out If you make a box shape it makes a force cube around the tile in front of you, trapping enemies both on the tile and getting too the tile, if you do it against a wall you can surround yourself with the cube and heal up / cooldown, works great with poison mist attacks

I've found one skull so far, in a secret in the river area. Speaking of the river area, I'm slightly stuck. There's a sign that says "with a keen eye and sharp aim, they entered" but I guess I just don't have a keen eye because I don't see anything to hit :(

Search around, on the opposite side of the bridge to the sign is an exposed area with a pressure pad you can throw some poo poo onto

Ok well, while I'm being clueless How does one use the hub, I've been all around the hamlet yet the portal to there is not active, my hub only goes between shipwreck beach and itself, I have a 'hub key' but nowhere to use it from killing the mushroom boss in the bog but I'm stumped on that front

That one and the "4 fallen spirits of the bog"(I think they might refer to the four stumps scattered around the zone) are the oldest notes I have in my inventory at the moment.

If you wanna know It actually refers to four of those talking statues, only fallen. You'll find four of them in the area past the teleporter IIRC and the place where they intersect is where you dig up a mimic.

I restarted with a

Minotaur Barb: Heavy / Armor
Human Alchemist: Light / Armor / Alchemy
Ratling Rogue: Throwing / Accuracy / Light
Human Wizard: Fire / Air / Concentration.

Going much better with this group. Guns might come into their own later but ammo has been scarce enough I'd rather just stockpile it and I'll throw some levels into it then. Alchemist is doing fine on the front line.

Main difference from my first group was dropping the Battle Mage and putting the Alchemist on the front row. Battle Mage seemed alright but it was getting hectic interface wise with two casters in a group. The back row Alchemist was terrible throwing rocks with little skill and very occasionally getting to fire a gun.

That's odd, I'm running the party you didn't like and its working good, front line battle wiz standing besides facetank minotaur backline alchemy shootman with squishiest wizard.

although I did invest in accuracy so he can use daggers as well.

I have a terrible phobia of snakes. And underwater stuff. So I probably will never finish the game. I managed to power through Morrowind but this is a bit too high-def for me.

You shouldn't worry about the underwater enemies...


you can't fight back against them anyway~

Maybe I'm missing something blatantly obvious but are the sarcophagi interact-able at all? I don't recall any place at all to place the weapons in each of those 4 tombs that stands out and there's just the laying down part.

There's plenty of boring flat surfaces that do stuff when you put stuff on them. Maybe its one of them.

Hey so I'm having trouble with the puzzle to enter The Lexiconary

I'm up to the bit where you've got to put the 4 clay figurines into the 4 spaces, and I can't seem to get it right

Ogre is strongest, Skeleton can't fly, Snail is alive and the Crowern can walk? I think I've tried most conbinations too but it isn't working. What am I missing?


Edit: And of course the one thing I try after writing this I solve it. God drat it.

I can confirm that bags and boxes still count as inventory, give your minotaur a skull bag. Your alchemist a herb box. Good times all around.

Man, gently caress this room.



I'm on the third layer down of the crypts, there's a room that says 'the door won't open till all light in the room is void' so you gotta walk around on these magic bridges that vanish behind you and get everyone before you reach the end and I see the idea of the room but actually doing it is like god drat what the gently caress.


Also I dunno why you guys think your alchemist has to use guns. Mine uses dex weapons.

I've had a Gear Key for several hours now, but it doesn't open the portal with a gear lock on it in the castle? What gives?

Also, question for someone who's beaten the game and actually annotated their map: Can someone remind me where to find the part of the legend of Kilhagan that explains where to find the last shrine? I found it a long time ago but I don't remember the wording, and I didn't mark it on my map. I'm definitely going to figure this puzzle out on my own, but I really would prefer not to comb the entire island over again to find one sign.

Its closer than you'd think.

so far I have no loving clue. I got four elements and three gems and I'm feeling like the whole 'go get the elements' thing was some bullshit nonsense. There is no loving indicator as to how to get in at all.

Basically firearms are okay for a time but rapidly don't stack up with other weapon types since their damage can't be increased beyond basic, combined with then no retrievable ammo and the fact that even the top gun with the weird ammo type will only be putting out the same damage as your other weapons they rapidly fall to obsolescence.

Additionally: Heavy weapons can slap them for fairly high damage... to win that bossfight I used my wizmans forcefield ability to force them in front of my frontline minotaur and had him crush them with power attacks while my backline kept the forcefield alive and fed him potions.
