I've not seen the post where the tool is mentioned, but you've been had. No Xian tool exists in Geneforge 2. It's a reference to the Xian skull topic.

That said, as soon as you start playing a character, you will need to make a fyora by the second map, and keep it alive till you reach Inner Gazak-Uss. Inside, you'll find a friendly Drakon who will trade you a piece of metal for the fyora. The piece of metal is a fan blade, which when you attach it to the lab equipment in Gramplin's lab, will blow away his rug revealing the tool.

Get rid of all of the slime pools- you probably missed one (maybe the one with the statues). Once they are all destroyed, you should be able to get past the runes.

Gah. Morgan, for shame. I think.

1. I'm pretty sure no, though I can't say I ever went back after searching the area thoroughly.

2. I've never not rescued the shade, but I can't imagine any significant change.

3. The bonus is minimal compared to the boots. Definitely stick with the boots.

4. Sadly no. I've always gone for the spell, since it is quite impressive and powerful.

5. For a druid, I noticed the druid bracelet was superior (one additional icelance over an intelligence bracelet).

6. I noticed the carytids as well, but nothing else. Strange, but you're probably right about the crones and Jeff forgetting.

The beautiful shard is used by Sharon to make you a ring. You can't complete it in the demo. You can't make it through the crystal cave without the constant damage, although if you enter combat mode it becomes much easier.

Highlight the .exe program. Rightclick on it, then click on the tab compatibility. CHeck the box, Run this box in compatibility mode for... then select win95 or win98. If that doesn't work, then try playing with the display settings (same tab).

Angierach, Pyrog's cave, the Ziggurat. For more information, check "Schrodinger's Avernum 2 FAQ."

Did you get the quest to find them? If so, did you talk with the vahnatai who told you where to find them and what to look for? Both of those must be done before you can acquire the toadstools.

Dang it people! Don't you know back in the 800s Vakhohs was the most common name vampire mothers named their newborn sons? It's like John or Tom or James! Sheesh.

Are you asking about the sdf editor in the character editor? If so, then no. It'd be too much trial and error for it's worth, unless you want to go ahead and make a list yourself...

Please refrain from posts not related to Avernum.

I am fairly sure that it's dependent on scenario- rubies from VoDT do not appear to stack easily with A Small Rebellion.

As far as I know, not even Jeff knows what purpose it serves any more. It's been lost to the ages...

Try reinstalling in a different location and transferring your .dat folder over to the new location. That may work. If not, email Martyrfox for a more exact description of what he did, since your problems sound similar.

You'll probably need to recopy VoDT to your scenarios folder. A reinstall of Blades of Avernum could do the trick, or you could reinstall to a different location and copy the folder to the scenarios folder. Up to you. If you haven't got the key yet, the former is probably the easiest option.

I think they're both near Galag-Trav, if that helps any.

No in both cases. There's another skill that focuses mainly on archery skill bonuses (sharpshooter).

There's a hidden room on the east of the map with several pots that catch fire when you step on the pots. It's a puzzle, and I think the way I described it is the easiest way to light them all up (or turn them off, as the case may be).

This is in the basement of Hagfen, which you should be able to reach.

I'll leave this topic open since it could potentially be useful for anyone else experiencing similar problems.

You\'re not alone.

Basically, copy the editor .exe to the data directory.

#234. You can find all other items listed in the editor.

Contact spiderweb software. They'll at least be able to hook you up with the key that you need to play, or will tell you what you need to do to continue the game.

I can't really give you any assistance other than to check the FAQ at the top of this page. It's been three years since I played the game and I'd probably misdirect you.

Very odd- well, the best advice I can give is to make sure you've got your resolution and colors set correctly (try reinstalling). If that doesn't work, you may have a corrupted download and redownloading may help. Good luck, anyways!

Avernum 1? Mac or PC? What OS?
