Ahonar doesn't destroy my fake rings. Is there a way to brute-force them out of my special items or am I going to have to fire up a hex editor?

Here's a genuinely helpful answer.

 

 

Apparently there's a hard limit to how much gold you can have. I'm at about 14k and my junk bag is full. After selling everything in the bag I'm left with zero gold.

I'm having trouble with this quest too.

 

 

 

The Grah-Hoth fight in itself is probably harder than any single part of the Hawthorne assassination quest. The Hawthorne assassination is a lot longer, though, and there are fewer tricks to make it easier: it's a big gauntlet of respawning enemies with no place to rest and heal, with a fairly difficult boss fight at the end.

Grah-Hoth isn't that bad. When he loses a certain amount of HP he spawns adds. Kill them, attack Grah-Hoth, kill adds, etc. Once he spawns the quickghasts hit him with everything you have until he says he's going to stop summoning help. Boom, easy.

 

With Hawthorne you had to motor every step of the way because of the endlessly respawning Royal Guards, Mages, etc. And the respawning wasn't even a matter of "you killed mob A, so A will respawn in x turns." It was "here's mob A, mob B's coming in x turns whether you like it or not, and so is mob C, and D, etc." And then you had to attack golems which blasted the entire room with those novas. If slow doesn't work, it gets nasty.

I always assumed Grah-Hoth would be the hardest, given that he's some super-powerful demon king and Hawthorne is just a nutcase who just sits there while you beat on his minions. I survived the encounter, but it felt like skipping the slimes and going straight to the golem factory (A3).

Just don't do what I did and Assassinate Hawthorne first. It was way tougher than taking out Grah-Hoth and finding the surface exit. Endless additional dudes really pile it on.

If you're looking to avoid some stress, just have your melee characters dual-wield if you don't feel like toning down the difficulty. It's more or less broken and there is very little that can survive your onslaught, especially if you take backstab perks.

I just stole the papers for the Wayfarer's quest and dropped them in the barrel.

 

Now what? How do I claim my reward? The game wasn't too specific about this part. It's driving me crazy.
