1. Where I get Giscard's quest? Nothing at jobboards on Formello or Draco.

2. Where is Hamer's Graymold? I searched whole house and nearby area w/o luck.

3. Where's stunning blade in Motrax's cave? I have searched whole area and no luck.

There is a body in the Eastern Gallery southeast of Fort Dranlon that gives a letter of introduction to Giscard.

There should be some in a cabinet inside the house. I don't remember if you need some tool use to open it.

Don't remember.

1. Giscard is in his home southwest of Formello. To get in and get any useful conversation from him you need to find a corpse in the western part of the Eastern Gallery, near Fort Draco, that prompts you to go chat with Giscard about his problems.

2. I can't remember getting any graymold from Hamer.

3. I don't think it's in Motrax's old lair. I recall it being somewhere else under the northern tunnels. Try looking a little bit to the west for chests, bodies, and stairs down into another level that might hold more chests and bodies.

—Alorael, who hopes someone else can help more with 2. And maybe 3, if you need a specific location.

bah, i thought giscard can be "dealed" before leaving to seek new adventures.

to r&d: correct except with stealing its possible to get says walkthrough.

still no idea where he keeps graymold unless its behind secret wall.

i have a hunch where that blade is but due natural lore being low can't see what loot near motrax cave has.

I believe that the Stunning Blade was not found in the Motrax Caves, but it was around the general area. I think that you go to the caves, then go back around west. I'm sorry if that doesn't make any sense. but perhaps it will inspire an idea.

No secret walls in A4, and the loot near Motrac's cave is a fiery wand.

No. There is only the one quest in Fort Dranlon.

Logical yes except I've completed 1st trial near Monastery and 2nd near Draco. I'll go search if I forgot pickup something.

edit: so test near Draco wasn't trial like near Formello and near Matrox's Cave was, so did MC's test.

7. How I can get rest of doors open in X's upper room? I have 2 keys for Tower but neither of those works (and Magic Unlock is too weak for those). W/o getting those doors open I can't get 4th Research Book.

You can get the research books without getting the other doors in X's upstairs level open (the rooms are empty). The one behind the gate isn't meant to be gotten. There is one in the Castle emissary's room near the entrance to the Tower Colony, and the others are all in the west part of the upper level lying on the floor and the main level in a closed off lab. Just look around.

Upper level in the southeast corner. You need to take one of the stairs up in the northeast area and go along the corridor from the barracks/storeroom area.

Note that one of those difficulty 90 locked rooms is for his rewards and the other is empty and just there because Jeff wanted to fill in the map.

There is a panel in the southwest corner that needs TU 14 (I think, but it might be lower) to turn it off. It's mentioned in a topic last year.

The gazer is in the northeast prison that is opened by another panel (I think it's the northwest room).

yeah but I don't have TU there yet so I loaded myself with potions and fought against that demon and golem.

no wonder there ain't character editor in A4 since many would use it to get TU high enough stop golems in both places those are.

11. Where is Aktitos hiding? Aktitos ain't in Gnass.

12. How do I complete Bandir Lair quest? Did I something wrong cause that surface pathway to Bandit Lair is blocked with rocks now?

I don't think any of these questions are dumb. I remember asking myself a couple of these. But here's another not so dumb question:

Have you ever considered browsing a walkthrough?

Not that I mind your questions - far from it. I always try and think if I can remember the answer. Most of the time someone else is quicker to reply.

But if you don't want to wait for replys, you should check out a walkthrough, dude. Or even Jeff's homegrown Book of Answers. Or keep posting. Whichever.

locmaar: I play Avernum-games by walkthrough but all solutions aren't there (not that all are needed and for that move mirrors-thing on earlier Avernum I needed pics to get those mirrors in right places) that's why I'm asking of these questions to get help.

Aktitos I found after all (thought that he is somesorta leader so didn't talk to all Sliths).

Bandit Lair-quest is still unsolved (wt only mentions it doesn't tell how to solve but I have a guess how it should been solved but realised it way too late)) and that msg to Spire Fortress same but maybe that Guervais is still somewhere hiding.

EDIT: BL-quest solved (wonders why I didn't see hole in wall on 1st visit) and found Guervais.

13. Is there lever to open that portcullis in Dorika's hideout in Erika's ruins? If so where it is, I searched whole cave but no lever.

*On the way to Castle and then kill Annatolia (why Spire's leader must always be killed?) and then hunt Rentar*
