[YES!]

Okay, I think I missed the

Spoiler

Samhain Mausoleum. On what map do I find access to it?

Viata, do you remember where it was?

The mausoleum is off the side alley in the room with the acme machine and the one light bulb thing, near the Samhain entrance with the four light bulbs and tablet thing.

 

[YES!]

I'm pretty much done with the "first act", but I am missing a few things. 100% on nearly all maps, but...

Spoiler

Great Hall of Samhain, when you sleep on the demonic summoning circle, you get a message but nothing else happens, is this relevant?

Also in the Great Hall of Samhain, the rune slab and the lightning orbs, how do they work?

And how do I decode the runes to unlock the Phoenix Gate in Samhain?

When you decode the runes in the sw of Samhain underworld it gives this message (I was guessing it may be ancient customs or whatever that skill is maybe, or assay, my metal smith does both for my team and he deciphered it after like 20 tries).

I'd like to know the answers to the other two questions too.

Anyone know the answers to the other two questions?

 

[Viata]

I'm assuming those Rune Slab is some kind of teleporter, I don't know. But I keep seeing them more and more, whenever I move to some new location.

 

[Baff]

And this time I missed the memo about the sequence of actions at the altar of Hobknob. In old versions I think the Tome contained instructions what to do, but this time it only contains some poetic text instead, so I had to go by memory. How did you guys figured it out without my background?

Every codexer already knows the answer.

You probably cast a spell on it and it will teleport you to a plane of something. I'm assuming it's something similar to legacy: realm of terror with the runestones.

In the Grimoire Clas Discussion/Begiinner's Tips thread I posted a link to a spreadsheet I made with all of the stats for every race/class combination assuming a perfect roll of 32.

How do you manually delete one of the postage stamp saves? My slot #1 still appears to be a save from the 1.07 version, and even when I try to over write it with my current version save, that doesn't seem to work.

 

[climber513]

Anyone find a way to effectively deal with Lizardmen? The instakill on any hit when you have to fight 24 is ..... a bit much.

 

[rickralsten]

OK, here's what my problem appears to be. I can save a game in a NEW slot, but when I try to over write a slot, the save doesn't "take." It just happened to me in game and I lost an hour of progress. How can I fix this problem?

Yeah, I'm avoiding them for now. That spear is too much for me.

 

[Sherry]

I got maybe six scroll parchments with spells on them and have them all identified but I am not sure how to learn those spells to have them added to a spellbook.

Scrolls are for one-time casting of the spell only. Spellbooks are for learning spells.

Hi!

tu friend for that information it is good to know and tu for not spoiling me on my other questions as I took some time away with a few drinks and am now over my head with Hobknob combat and have hit a wall right now I hope another bottle will get me through this annoyance or I find something in my inventory to destory this eight-legged little (#$*!

What did you do?

Thanks,
Sherry

 

[Invictus]

Good going so far with version .1 but but now I am kind of stuck, I found the book of spiders but I will hold on to that until do the ceremony but now I am kind of lost where to go in the Black Lich lair... I remembered I could go down the well but clicking on it does nothing and I dont recall where to get the name of the lich to open his trap
About what nixeb said yeah I picked the wilderness start and now I cannot access the secret area in the raptor shrine so I dont have the faintest idea how to do riddle of the machine in the museum

Has anyone found the pirate eyepatch?

Spoiler

I have the other 2 pieces, and feel like I have run out of places to look in the immediate vicinity of Waterport. I even killed Black Pierre thinking that was a sure bet for one, but nope.

Hints appreciated.

Spoiler

I found eyepatch on waterport. One of the first houses, secret wall if I'm not mistaken.

Also:

Spoiler

Were you able to break the glass with Little Rosy's sister inside? If so, how?

Download and re-install the latest version .12 - that should fix this issue in version .9

What did you do?

Play the Slumber Lyre with a Bard. It may be a bit like cheating for now, but I think it's okay if nothing else helps. Or if you do not have a Bard, play the Slumber Lyre by having one of the characters use it directly from the inventory.

You need the name of the monk who became the Black Lich. Gorlo can tell you if you ask him about the scandal. Or if you're lazy it's

Those two are not related. For the machine in the museum you need to find the 'poem' in the catacombs and see which words come up in which order both in the poem and in the machine. Also, the machine is for a later puzzle.

Use the tuning fork - I think I got it on the same ship she is captive in.

I killed the mummy in Aquavia and got the seal of Loogmar. I asked Smithers about his father and got the quest to find the marques/found out about Samhain. I picked the lock to the Catacombs, explored it, killed the ungrateful dead, found the tomb of Mistral. I can't figure out what to do next/where to go. I assume I'm supposed to place Mistrals remains in his tomb but I can't get into the Cenotaph, where Mistral disappeared. I've been to the Tomb of Saint George and found the inscription telling me that a secret entrance to Samhain is in the NW of the Garden, but it is seemingly describing the entrance to the Cenotaph, which I can't get into. Do I have everything I need at this point to get to where I need to go?

You missed something in the Catacombs.

Spoiler

Recall that the Bishop was involved in sealing the Cenotaph.

 

[Jaesun]

I can't seem you use my Bard's Lyre. He however has not identified it yet. Also I have it equipped. Do I need to move it to the inventory?

When I click use, then click on the Lyre in his hand, it does nothing.

You need to 'fight' to use the Lyre when it's equipped.
