Philana

[txmimi]

I'm having trouble finding a way to look under Councillor Philana's house for the noise she says she hears. I assume this is related to getting the tools for Laira, too. I have read posts about tools for Callan, but I haven't gotten that quest from her. Maybe I've mixed them up so they can't be done? The Commander just keeps saying the tools aren't Laira's, and she can't have them. Tips?

There is a hidden switch for Philana's Hunt in the area below.

 

It's suppose to be Laira's Tools not Callan. If you want the tools then you will have to get them yourself from below.

OK. . . in the area below what? And how do I get to it?

To solve Philana's quest, take the stairs down in the quarters for Hands of Avadon, and look for a hidden switch on the wall in the underground area.

 

To get the tools, take the other set of stairs down in the trainer's building, and look for a set of cabinets in that part of the underground area.

I have walked through these areas countless times already without finding any hint of hidden switches. Sigh. . . very frustrating.

Okay. Take the stairs down in the Hands' quarters, and follow the south wall to the west. See how it turns to green stone for a while, and then back to wood? Right after it turns back to wood, look at the bit of wall that's jutting out.

Found it at last! But not much to see or do. . . is there a way to get through the barred gate near there?

[Lilith]

You just have to get close enough to the window behind the secret passage that you get a message about what you see inside the room. Once you've done that, you can report back to Philana.

 

You'll eventually get behind the barred gate as part of the main plot, later in the game. Much, much later.

Oh! I did that, so I guess that finished it for now. Thanks all for the help!
