e3: Where can I buy a boat

[Merrick]

Where can I buy a boat on the surface?

 

And in exile, is their any secret passages I can go through, on the boat I bought at New Corta?

[Alorael at Large]

You can't buy any boats on the surface. There may be a few boats locally available in this or that town, but you can never take to the rivers and oceans of Valorim.

 

—Alorael, who can't think of any secret passages straight off the river in Upper Exile. There may be some if you disembark first, but the boat is mainly useful for entering the side of Ghikra and for exploring some of the inaccessible shores of the river.

There's a secret passage through the rocks on the big lake that leads to a shop where you can buy various powerful potions and waste all your money.

[Alorael at Large]

So there is. I'd completely stopped thinking of Silverlocke as a secret!

 

—Alorael, who wonders if Silverlocke has ties to the Monastery of Madness. She had to learn how to make those Knowledge Brews somewhere...

I think that in Upper Exile, you can follow one of the eastern rivers for a magic buckler.

There are a number of minor hidden things that I can remember, and some not-so-minor ones in A3. Silverlocke is the only one I can think of that requires wall bashing in a boat.

 

—Alorael, who will consider locating scripted gaps in rocks the same as wall bashing even though you don't actually have to move onto the rocks to find the passage.

I found those two already but there has to be more..Cause there's all those waterfalls and rivers between in the cave walls.. The orb of Thalrni(sp?) is kinda useless down there too.

[Lazarus.]

No if you've got all the stuff mentioned here, your done with the boat. The waterfalls just serve to provide a border for the underworld (it would look kinda crappy if the river just ran right off the map).

The orb can't be used in the underworld in e3, or anywhere else Jeff doesn't want you flying (strangely it CAN be used in caves in earlier games.)

The caves of Upper Exile have a lower ceiling than those of regular Exile.

[ben4808]

Or more inportantly, the caves underground have a ceiling.

[Lilith]

Uh, ben? I was responding to his point that in Exile I and Exile II, you could fly in the caves.

I know you can buy one at New Crota because of that person at the bar, I think thats the only spot you can buy a boat in Exile III, but know that I still have yet to beat the game
