I have finished Bahssikava and started Exodus. I am liking it a lot, but I have a few frustrations: 1. After leaving Vasskolis, I went down the western waterfalls and was never able to get to Neoss to get the quest or rewards there (Filth 1/2, Inferno 1/2). From the walkthru, it seems that I should have taken the eastern waterfalls. 2. After dealing with the frost lizards, Nakhtha and the Black Land, I approached Thassaka. I saw the bandit island to the east and went in and killed the archmage (and got Sleep and Somnekh's bracelet). Then I entered Thassaka and got the bandit Island quest from Khalthanas (and reported back to Pithoss, etal) - but Khalthanas will not recognize that I already killed the archmage (no reward and the quest still appears active). 3. I cleared out the bandit lair with help from Khalthanas' guys. The walkthru says the reward is Major Healing 1/2. I have seen no sign of it. I am ready to head to the Lava Ocean, but I would welcome any comments on how I might improve any of the above. Thanks. Posts: 8 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

1. Nothing you can do about this. You've already passed it. 2. (EDIT: Ah, I see the problem. I'll upload a fix, but what you have to do is manually set the SDF. Using the character editor, set the flag (13,2) to the value 2. That is, with the advanced features, enter 13 2 2 when you change an SDF. Be sure to back up your file when you do this.) 3. I have to check this, but if I remember correctly, you don't get the reward if every one of your allies dies in the battle.

Thanks for the very quick and complete response. 2. I tried your suggestion but it did not work. In the character editor I loaded a saved game and clicked on "advanced features". Then I clicked on "Set Stuff Done Flag" and in the window I entered: 13 2 2 I had to enter it three times before the window went away. then I saved the changes and tried the new file. There was no difference - Khalthanas still did not recognize that I had done anything. Did I do this properly? 3. I had just one ally left - he just gave me some gold Thanks again for your help Posts: 8 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Then, when the window pops up for the third time, enter 2 and hit Enter. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

I was toying with the idea of creating a new topic for this for a while, but decided that I might as well post this in a thread already about my subject. Because I love all your scenarios Kel, I just had to give Exodus another go. As it happens, when leaving Nakhtha to the north, my boat gets automatically placed on a rock. From this rock there is but one place to go, right back into Nakhtha, this time walking on water, and from there, the only place to go is back to my boat, still on the rock. It's not as if it impacts the scenario anyway. Once you get to Nakhtha the only place to really go is west or south. But for the sake of aesthetics, it would be nice if this were fixed. It's none too hard to fix this with the editor, just removing the rock is pretty easy. If you find the time to, Kel, I'd appreciate it greatly if you could fix this officially.
