That key is for the final door in the tomb.

anyone knows where or how to use the stepping stones ?
i tried using them on the bridge but no luck...

I think I'm missing something in Cenotaph vault. I got the goblet, the tome of the spider and the ankh. But none of the itemsdo anything at the altar of hobknob and the door opposing the stone head is still closed. What am I missing?

Also, is it safe to give the tome to Gorlo or can I do something else with it?

Spoiler

you missed a vase/urn with a dead rat ( use the rat and the ankh on the altar ).

i found no reason to keep the book and gave it to gorlo.

 

[Haba]

You need an "offering" for the altar. You can find it in another dungeon.

For all of those, who like me failed to find the missing Vanguard expedition, they are indeed in

Spoiler

Hobknob's lar, one of the skeleton piles. Teaches ya to always keep detect secret on...

Apparently, attacks from stealth deal triple damage (only with daggers?). And attacking doesn't seem to break hiding! Who would've thought, my thief is going places.

Thanks, I placed the "offering".

Spoiler

the dead rat, I assume

But nothing happened. The altar just says it's on there and that's it. The mouse laso truns into a hand near the bottom of the game window, but nothing happens when i click there either.

nevermind figured it out. Though mostly trial and error, no clue, where the logic is using that particular item there.

mondblut What is the key I got from Mistral's body used for? It doesn't open the St. George's tomb's gate and I can't go down on Black licht dungeons thanks to darkness.

Uh uh? It does work. That key (from the ghost?) gets you to 'ol George's bones.

Wich key from the ghost ? I've finished spirit caves at 100% and i have no special key in my inventory....Cannot open st george gate either.

Defeat the Lich. There is a skeleton there, it's mistral's. Bring it back to catacombs, place him in the secret room, his soul gives you the key.

 

[Vagiel]

There are just two chests and a ?TOXIC? fountain behind the ?GHOST? and ?APPARITION? encounters.

There is also an ivory schachel on a pile of bones and you can actually store scrols inside and it might be a quest item.

By the way what is the slot next to the inventory for? You can put items there and sometimes they dissappear.

Oh, yeah, the scroll case. Pretty useful to store non-combat/extra scrolls there (you can't access it in-battle, I think).

The slot is 'floor'. You can drop items by dragging them there.

 

[Invictus]

For beginner tips yeah some other users have mentioned Bards as must haves and yeah they are pretty useful early on, making a Fairie Bard makes them virtually unhittable
I would recommend a Vampyr Necromancer too; you get them on a 24 roll and their poison spells is by far one of the vital spells for the start of the game plus getting them early allows you to develop them properly and dont worry much about the sunlight penalty since most of the dungeons take place in crypts and caves
Berserkers are pretty good too since you start with almost no armor and they get some good boosts to health and defense
For starter races the dragons and eyeball guys are awesome too for their breath and gaze abilities plus the lizardmen also have good natural armor

The key is for a grate within the tomb. The entrance to the tomb, I always picked the lock.

What darkness? Once you enter the cenotaph, the rest is pretty straightforward (in a way).

Gorlo has it.

As far as I've tested, items left on a square remain there forever so you can go back and get them at any time. Useful for making caches etc.

How do you get it ? typing key does not provide it, nor typing catacombs, and theres nothing in his trade inventory. Thanks

 

[mondblut]

I've picked locks by mere trial and error, but is there a logic behind the lockpicking minigame?

Yes - Doors - you've probably figured out they are riddles, each column contains one letter from the answer, and your green stars at the bottom give you the number of incorrect guesses you have until something bad happens.

Another useful tip - correct letters are never next to each other. If you got a letter right and it is, say, in center row, next and previous letters are either in top or bottom rows, never in center.

Gorlo has the key. Best way to get it from him is by charm and then ask for the key. You can kill him or rob him too.

Way deep into the dungeon. Past the Ukrul part, you see some eyes all over the screen during that part. And yeah, picked the lock too.

Gorlo asks you to bring back the tome of the spider in return for the key (if I remember it right), you have to agree on this condition by typing 'yes'.

 

[mondblut]

Is there some way to combine stacks of potions and such?

Combine them in the item workshop.

I've tried that, but the merge items is always greyed out. Is there some skill required for this?

Potions don't merge, they are one item with multiple uses. Same with wands etc.

Ammo and throwing items can be merged by simply clicking with one pile upon another. Same with vending tokens, probably some other small items.

Ok thanks that was not clear at all, could have looked for ages. I frown upon killing quest npcs, you never know if it wont break something later in the story.

Deep sink project? You'll have to endure darkness, it's important place.

Ah if i ask him about job he speak about the tome of the spider in black lich cenotaph, however to enter that i need a hand, most likely hand remain found in catacombs.. So to fullfill his quest i need its reward first ? Neanderthalian quest design is beyond me.
