Yeah, right. In fact this playthrough was different and I forgot to do the Mica Tome related quest, so it came as a bit of a surprise when I realized I reached the end of the game... without proteins.

I completed the three main quests, before I reminded about the Mica Tome quest and Quickfire secret that was promised us in exchange.

So, how is that apparently the Phoenix egg is not essential for the game? There is a specific quest you have to do to obtain a useless item?

I exited Pyrog's cave from the front gate, leaving the boat on northern sea, but re-entering I don't have access to the tunnel that leads to the boat.

I know I can go back to other lands by jumping here and there with the Orb of Thralni.

But, I think of when I will have to reach the Big Portal... how could I have a new boat, then?

edit: I forgot I moored the second boat on a close harbour, it is all right now

A:CS.

Need to find it for a level 3 priest spell, thank you.

Yes I did, only I was trying to find someone in Dharam who knew where he was, according to quest giver's indications. Thanks for helping, I found him myself and managed to kill him :-)

In Dharam again after previous playthroughs, I forgot who to ask for Gryfin last location. I think to remember a new area has to appear on the map. Or not.

In some playthrough Sixus committed suicide, in different ones we had a dialogue and all ends for good. I couldn't guess what makes him behave so differently.

Tower of Elderan early in the game, totally underestimated his powers and resistance, thought he was just another silly mage, so I was not prepared for a long battle, and he killed me. Ooops!

Saying "Fish, fish, fish!" makes me uncontrollably amused.

Great. There's a closed passage upper left in the Miranda Cordelia esplanade, does it open and how?

When in Fiery Region you can reach a Lava Lake, where the Putrified Gauntlets are. It is technically possible to jump to two islands with the Orb, to jump again on the land on the other side, but, you die because you are told there's a lot of imps on the islands. Is it contemplated to go there, where I presume the Empire main Army is, or I better give up trying?

Thank you Randomizer, I forgot to click on it when I was there first time

Sorry, I think I have memory blackout about the location of Simulacrum level 3.

I know, it's in Pyrog Cave, but I just can't find it.

Well, it makes the game more interesting to me. I tried this method in both Avernum games. I had parties originally made of one character which became three through the game and finished it. Characters were of different experience levels, so I had to adapt strategy and tactic to circumstances. Surviving becomes a bit harder, as harder is to manage the party. It is fun.

Thank you, Triumph!

I got back to Eftp to play a different game in which I created a new character half way to end. Problem is, he is first in line of combat and he is apparently weaker than other charachters. I don't know how to put him in second or third place (there are three characters now). I only managed to make him enter in combat as second fighter, but this way my first fighter is a tile back and loose range. It is written that one can manage party order from the rooster, alas I did not find a way to do that.

You can reverse the process as well, i.e. you can add one to three characters along the way if you start playing as singleton.

Maybe the Cult of the Seven Untold Secrets priests know the meaning of some empty and useless places you only can reach with the Orb. By the way, you may find a place underground where you are told nobody reached before, you find nothing, but they say you are intelligent and that is always something. Near a shop tower upstairs you jump here and there and... well.

At last I managed to confront Pliftal, or whatever his name is, I am sorry I did not take note of it. However, he's hard to defeat because of the flames that come nearer after each round passing and could lead to some panic mistakes. The right strategy is to jump here and there with Blink, ensnarl the other foes and hit from a distance. Nice battle.

No.

It shows you something moving in the mist a hundred feet away from Solberg's tower, so the dialogue box says, but I couldn't find anybody inside or outside the tower. The message is displayed later in the game, it appears after you kill the demons outside and the hidden Empire soldiers.

There are several places like this one, but also Jeff wasn't completely honest. Look i.e. at the way to reach the obstructed barrier in Gremlin's women place. There is nothing that tells you what to do, no hints like ruined walls, nothing.

Thank you, Lilith. Is it however impossible to access the terrace (after the battle) and the gates downstairs or is there a way?

I read here in a post about a foe that can be found only after Garzhad was killed, he should be on the terrace from where you escaped first time carrying a Crystal Soul. I tried to find him going back after all of the quests were accompplished but I still can't find a way to access the terrace last floor, or the paths that are closed with gates at the entrance.

Assuming you have the necessary spell levels to enter Spiral Pit and defeat the foes inside there is not a separation between the two quests, in the same place. When I've played first time, I couldn't know where a quest finished and where the other one started, nothing was there to let me understand it. So at first I thought the Rampaging ghasts were those bands of spirits outside Spiral Pit. I don't criticize the choice but I wasted some time in a useless way, that is overall true about gaming, I admit
