Fledgling Fyora jrrockefeller92 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi all, I'm playing Exile 3 on a Windows 10 PC using the OTVDM fix and so far the experience has been great until now. I'm under the Troglo castle about to confront Elhioc and I've successfully configured his "wall machine" to allow passage, but after doing so, I come to a regular basalt wall door that is "impossible" to open. I've bashed it a hundred times to no avail and piercing crystals state, "No barrier there.". After looking up walkthroughs, no one even mentions a difficult to open door on the other side of the moving wall machine, so I'm guessing this door was supposed to be unlocked or removed by a trigger that never fired. Any ideas on how to move forward or get the trigger to fire? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I don't remember if you have to do in Exile 3, but the Avernum 3 remake has Move Mountains to break a cracked wall to get inside. Good luck. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave any remaining sanity at the door. You won't need what little you have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Motardo Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I've always just opened that door with the Unlock 3rd level mage spell, and it always worked on the first try. I would think a piercing crystal does the same thing, but have you tried the Unlock spell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Piercing Crystals should work, and it doesn't look like anyone's ever had trouble with this door before. OP, can you confirm that you have already received the "offer" from Vothkaro to kill Elhioc? The one in scroll form. I'm wondering if this door is a plot-skipping protection, essentially.

I'm playing through as Anama; I do not have the Unlock spell. 1 hour ago, handle with air said: Piercing Crystals should work, and it doesn't look like anyone's ever had trouble with this door before.

Yes, I can confirm I have the letter in my inventory, and that I accepted the quest from Vothkaro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Weird! I dunno. It might be worth using the editor to cheat yourself Mage Spells again (or Lockpicks skill and a bunch of Magic Lockpicks), just to try magically unlocking the door. At least then you can rule out any weirdness with the piercing crystals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora jrrockefeller92 Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 I just got it opened; I had to bash about 200 times. I guess it was just horrible luck; my lead character has 18 strength. I appreciate the replies, sorry to make you all go on a wild goose chase.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 That's _insanely_ horrible luck. Wow. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
