Curious Artila aliennefatale Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hey all. My dad is having trouble in Swamp City and I can't remember exactly what to do. He is looking for the Onyx Key and the Slith Tome, which the walkthrough says are in the brownish rooms to the northeast. He says he's been through them all, using Magic Map, and still can't find what he's looking for. Can anyone remind me specifically where these two items are? Is there a bookshelf to search or something? My dad is really frustrated, and I am too because I can't figure out why things aren't where I remember them being. We had to use the editor to fix the spider problem. Please help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The Slith tome, if I remember it, is sitting in the western most of the northeast group of rooms. I can't remember if the key is in the southern treasury room of that group. There is a second key available in the Slith Temple so don't worry about it too much.

Curious Artila aliennefatale Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks. He couldn't find the key there either... it's frustrating, because I'm not there to see what he's doing. It could be something as simple as not realizing bookshelves are searchable (although he knows that now--I told him.) He's just retired and he's really liking the game, but he's getting terribly frustrated by Exile. And I'm getting frustrated because the walkthroughs are incomplete.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 The Avernum Annotated Maps are your friends. Yes, the map covers Avernum, not Exile, but the differences are small enough that you can probably get by with it. And so can you father! —Alorael, who thinks that's generally true of Exile. You're better off with the not quite identical but much more thorough Avernum walkthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 But don't use it for the golem factory in E3 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila aliennefatale Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 We'll worry about that when we get there. My dad reports that he successfully found the slith tome and the onyx key. Hooray! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan La paix Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 It seems like everyone has been talking about their fathers lately. I would be a miracle if I got my dad into any sort of computer game except arcadey ones. Edit: Ugh! I hate the A3 Golem Factory!!! Those lasers get on my nerves.

It's a good thing I don't have A3 yet then. The E3 Golem Factory is bad enough with its moving floors everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The worst part of the E3 Golem Factory is that they just keep coming. You can never clear them out and fighting on the moving belts can move you away from where you want to go. So you have to go around the long way and hope that there isn't another fight.

Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Actually the E3 Golem factory is easy. Alchemy is your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Sullust Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Just cast haste and run. It's easier just to avoid the mess. If you're getting killed by the breathing just drop a few antimagic fields down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Haste and Avatar. It worked in both E3 and A3 (though you use Arcane Shield in A3). If they can't hurt you, they're not a problem. - Archmagus Micael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I also find it hilarious that in A4, someone talks about how some people say that Adventures had to navigate on moving belts and that other people say that they fought their way through lazors. However, it is best to find them and see exactly what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
