Thanks. And thanks for your help in general.

Stone pillar circles (or whatever the appropriate name is) increase your knowledge of priest skills. They seem to increase in the following order: Curing, Smite, Unshackle Mind and...? what are the last two? Need the info for a guide.

Guide, complete with exact locations and screenshot illustrations:

Feel free to let me know if I've missed anything / editing suggestions.

Central Valorim (mainland)

NE by Orb - focusing crystal, battle crystal - is that the little pool next to the Anama facility, south of Dellston?

Central Valorim (north of Lorelei)

CW cache [6] - Steel Halberd - Can't find this  (Writing a guide, complete with screenshots and exact "location" coordinates, so I may a few similar questions down the line)

Central Valorim

SW body - blessed boots - could you give a slightly more precise description of where it is? can't seem to find it.

No mention of the "Generic Dungeon" in Rentar's keep?

11 here:

Ok, I've just spent several days waiting, and checking the Delan in every morning. Did he move from his location of "the inn in Delan or an abandoned shop in Krizsan"? What shop is he supposed to be in, specifically?

Can you actually find Carrie or her remains during the Tower of Magi disaster? Resolve Bernard's request in any way?

Also, where exactly is the mage with no name that's supposed to tell you how to enter the tower of Zakl?

A bit more specific, please?

Howl of Terror in the Rhakasha part of the Remote Cavern. Requires more than 22 - 28?

I'm about to reach the endgame, well before day 100. Can I keep playing afterwards to deal with the Tower of Magi disaster?

Any way to camp / fast forward the days, other than running back and forth across the worldmap?

Edit - Apparently, I don't have the option to ask Judith about Pit of the Wyrm? What's the per-requisite?

What does Demon Feast do?

Would I have been able to avoid the compulsion to travel to the Great Circle had I not worshiped at the various circles?

What's the fight under Keep Tinraya like if you didn't get the anti-Vahantai weapon? Do the crystal souls do anything interesting?

Haha, you can get it Gale without ever discovering the tunnel. Talk to one of the blackmailing citizens through the gate, deny them repeatedly, then run around the walls until you're captured as a spy. I guess that's a way to bypass whatever rep/plague check allows you to use the tunnel.

Is "one of your characters falls ill for some reason" the result of having carried around a Uranium bar, or something to do with Xian artifacts, or what? Also, how do I get rid of that problem?

That would spoil the surprise.

It's what one might refer to as "a joke". "Sentinel Golem" or whatever.

Ok. But you'd only find out about it after you've already decided to kill the drake, since naming them deep stalkers gives zero indication.

Why not just drop "immune to everything golems" in the same spot.

The deep stalker in the Drake Aerie are immune to literally everything until the drake dies. WTF.

That is amazingly dumb. I'm all for choices having consequences, but they should strive to be coherent and internally consistent consequences that make sense within the game world.

No one else being able to lift the curse is just arbitrary (particularly the Tower of Magi priestess that needs to save her powers for something more important than the biggest emergency Avernum is currently facing)

Also, freaking Judith decides to attack me because I robbed the Aname treasure, really?

Who (if anyone) can remove a dread curse after robbing the Anama temple?

A more peaceful resolution to the troglodyte quest is possible, but not if you killed their king.

Ok, could you be a bit more concrete? In case my post didn't make it clear, I managed to destroy the barrier between the Troglos and Giants (after killing the shaman on behalf of the king). Is there anything else I can do?

I just traveled to the monastery of madness. Ruined the altar there, got the shield, got ambushed by monks on the way out. No climactic duel, no dialog with anyone in the monastery, everyone in Gerbra are still brainwashed and I can't even provoke the greeter into a fight. Am I missing anything?

Also, is there a way to peacefully talk to the Troglos once the barrier is down? The message when you kill their king ("there will never be peace between Troglos and humans now") kinda implies there should be more.

You can't access Sulfras' treasure even after killing her?

Like I said - I stacked DT to 27, no difference that I could see.

...

Wait, do resistances only go up to 90%?

There is a move mountains level 1 on the wall in the outer corridor east of the quickghast. Then inside the next area is a hidden switch on the north wall. However the magical barrier requires dispel barrier level 3.

Does a piercing crystal cast dispell barrier at level 3? Seems more likely to be level 2.

Source - came there early enough to not have the spell myself (obv) and got the "need to cast this spell at a higher level" in different spots when using crystals.

I'm sorry, explain please. How exactly does an additional 1% multiplicative effect even works, particularly when you can legitimately stack it without abusing bugs?

Seems like a fairly obvious urban legend (or whatever the terms for these is when it concerns video games) explanation "oh hell, it probably adds 1% to a random effect. Oh, it clearly doesn't? Multiplies, then".

BTW, I notice that common wisdom claims that Dark Thoughts provide 1% to your mental resistance. That seems to be false - you can stack DT in the Vahkshos' tomb indefinitely (at least, your special items will reflect the increase), and it doesn't result in a huge boost.
