Snowwhite

Thanks. I am 69 by the way! Neither of us is too old to enjoy the game (or complain)

I need more hints/help please. I cannot picture what this is supposed to look like at all, let alone accomplish it. Got it after reading the bit about using the middle mirrors.. It was also much easier after letting 3 of the 4 characters die so only one could push the mirrors.

Thanks will give it a bash. I can't remember what happened when I was here the first time and thought I had wrecked the quest for not moving skribane around. Didn't realize the stuff about the drinks.

Have done 2 plagues and he just said no. Is there another way to get to the thieves guild to get the rings?

Apologies if this has been done to death. I was unable to find a solution. Possible spoilers: 1) Where do I look to find out about the Dread Curse? Character has dark thoughts, is that the same as the dread curse? 2) I went to the Tower of Magi to get the curse/ thoughts fixed and the priest there won't fix the curse as it is too much work (or some such) She sent me to the head anema guy who said no. Presumably I could join the church and then get the curse cured but I don't want to do that. I like the mage spells. So I went to Lorelei to get the fake anema rings but can't get them as i didn't agree (ages ago) to deliver the package for Irvine and now i don't have the ability to find the thieves guild and therefore am unable to buy fake rings as I dont' get the offer from the person in Lorelei. Any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance. I have killed the source of the curse, by the way.

Thanks for this. So Obvious now. Don't know how I missed it.

Have gone down the ladder. There are 3 levers in one room and another lever down the hall. No matter what I do and or push I can't see any changes and don't know what to do next. Near the ladder there is a lever to turn off the power but it isn't working either. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Randomizer. I could swear he wasn't there the first few times I looked.

I reported back to Commander Ace that the Chitricks were defeated and she said she would fix the heat for the Sliths. But the quest still shows in my journal and I can't find the slith who told me about the heat (Aeosth sp?)

I finished the game. Certainly this is the longest Avernum game I can recall. Great value for sure. Still I have one issue: I play on normal. I don't even try a harder setting. But...I don't understand how I can play through an entire game on normal relatively easily and get so massacred in two battles at the end that I have to go to casual. The arena killed me as did Garzhad. Other than that I had a lot of fun. Would love to know what I have been doing wrong in this game. I used the 4 characters that were already built. Anyway, that you all who helped me when I was lost. See you at Avernum 3 redo. Snot

Brillliant Thank you for the help!

Thanks. Forgot I had it but I did. The watchtowers were fine. My mistake was retracing when the watchtowers attacked. In prior encounters there had been a message that said you can't win and I just assumed these were the same. Thank you all for the help. Made it in and out. Tried Angierach and died horribly and quickly and a lot. Am off to kill the villain and then will have to find out what I am doing wrong in the last big quest. My guys are level 30 + as I have done just about all of the quests except have been unable to find more than 1 of the giant statues.

Thank you. I really needed this too!

Thank you Lilith. It never occurred to me to clear out the watchtowers. Argh. Most appreciated. Have now made it to the 3rd watchtower and am being wiped out very quickly by the stalkers. Don't know if I have done all the several things you refer to. Up front though, I can't figure out how to pass through the 3rd watchtower. May have to turn the game to casual and don't want to do that. Found a posted solution. Most appreciated.

I know that I am supposed to start in the north and go west but there are rocks preventing the boat from going far enough west to get to the empire portal. Am missing at least one obvious thing. Help would be great.

Ah - so that is the problem. Much thanks for your answers. I hadn't spoken to Enla yet and I hadn't found the letter in Blosck. so that is why the key didn't work. I went back and replayed the dungeon re the phoenix egg and got it (again) Now, back to Blosck.

Update - have not used any backtostart thing. didn't know it existed actually. running Win 7 purchased from Spiderweb. Reloaded and went back to blasted ruins, got the key again, and now see that the game says it is an iron runed key and it shows in my inventory as a runed key. thought everything was good and went back to Fort Remote and it still doesn't work. i got a message about sun and bunnies when I click on the picture. Is there something else I should be doing, other than that which I am attempting to be doing?

Been back to the iron key location and it isn't there. sigh. Will try Rentar for the egg. Not enthusiastic about reloading, I must say. The egg especially is a fair way back. thanks for answering, by the way

Just got the iron key and went off to get to Thompson and I don't have it when I need it. Also, then read the pre reqs for Angierach and I don't have the phoenix egg either, though I received if from Rentro Irhno. I also was able to get the phoenix egg from Pyrogs cave but don't have it either? Any help would be great. Also, in the blasted ruins there is a door on the right hand side of the level that says it can't be picked and I don't have the key to open it. Any idea where I can find that key (though it doesn't look like i need it to finish the game, just curious) - didn't get the final move mountains spell until recently so there may be a few places I should have been able to get into but wasn't at the time.

Are the three mundane items available to be found in the hall of chaos. I have been carrying two of them around for a while but not the abacus. I have had a number of these over the game but have sold them all. Went back to the earlier cities and cannot find one! Just found a post elsewhere here that answered my question.

Thank you Without the link i would never have found it. Much thanks (again!)

Didn't realize that I needed to take care of the fellow in the barrier tower and he is now no more. Is there another place to get dispel barrier 3?

Much thanks (again) Finally found it. Don't know how I managed to miss it before.

I was looking in Blosck, where it definately isn't. Thanks again.

And I didn't go all the way in. Thank you Of course, now i can't find any statue in Blosk, let alone one that talks. ARGH.
