Hi, Sorry to bother you lot again, but I've got a few problems, and I'm pretty sure you can all help. A1: * I've killed Grah-Hoth (ouch!) and are now "Knights of Avernum". I've been told to randomly go around and do good deeds. I assume that includes assasinating the Emperor and stuff, and finding the way to the surface, so I'm fine there. * I've talked to Khoth and stuff, given him his scroll, and have been taught the ritual to enter that Empire Tower place - but WHERE is it? At first I thought he was talking about that tower just to the southeast along the river, the one with all of the Black Shades in it, with the Gate Wheel which zaps you with lightning, but since it didn't help me there, I don't know which tower he was talking about... and could use some guidance there. * Oh, and when I entered Bahshikava (wahtever it's spelled like), I thought that I was back playing BoA. And Legare wasn't quite so elusive here! A2: Well, I've started this Avernum 2 game with my friend, as I still haven't gotten round to playing it on my own, and we're ALREADY stuck! * In the quest that tells us to go and stop those Undead controlled by rogue nephils being made (the captain in formello gives you this one), we can't destroy the Altar. We have this random Ankh, and assume we need a ritual of Scantification. We managed to find someone called Alice in Formello who tells us about this, but we can't find it in any other library in the city. We did however find a tome which none of us could read, and were wondering if that might have been it, but we're playing a 3-player party (one of Matt's chars died cause was so bad, so we deleted him), with Arcane Lores of 4, 17 & 19, so I don't think we need more of that... HOW DO YOU FINISH THIS QUEST? Thanks you all of your patience! I'll get there eventually. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

I can only really help with av 2. you learn the ritual of sanctification in a hidden library. To get there, leave on the west side of city (Don't get to the outdoors!) and walk along the wet side of the moat, on the outside of the city (So you're between the city wall and the moat). now walk all the way to the nort, untill you can't go any farther, because you bumped into a mountain of some sort. Anyway, you can't go any farther. Now search the city wall. Somewhere there you'lle find a secret door. Enter and search the book shelfs. There it is! As Drakefyre already said: Its not a spell, but an ability. So once you got it, look at the ability's , and it should be there (its that picture of a sort of altar). That tome you tried to read: leave it. You can't, doesn't matter how much arcane lore you have. You need Vahantai lore. Something you'lle only get once getting in the Vahnatai lands. EDIT: Stupid me! I looked at Drakey's post and thought he only said something about av 1 (I didn't read the post as yet). Well, now you have two detailed descriptions...

quote:^ I figured that one out by myself. ^ (though with the ammount of seemingly stupid questions I've put up here, I can understand why you think I'm a complete dumbo!) Thanks for the Avernum 2 help guys! (and I already knew that it wasn't a spell - I'm not THAT thick :P ) A1: * Talking to Khoth, he said that he made some magical defences for an Empire Tower to the southeast of him. I can't find that one... * To the Southeast of Khoth there is this tower called the Black Spire or something like that. HOW do I manage to get through that one? THat's the one that the gate controls zap you with lightning. * In the remote Islands, there is this tower protected on one side by a rune which kills you instantly (you stay trapped there forever, hypnotized by the field, your bodies wasting away until you die - that sort of thing), and a rock stopping you from entering by Boat. I assume that that's where that guy that Erika talked about (the traitor) lives, but I have NO way of getting there, and not many people seem inclined to help me. * AND FINALLY, OF A LESS IMPORTANT NOTE: In Sulfras' Tower, the demon says that as one of Erika's servants, I should know what to do with the statue. I went back and talked to Erika again, but I still don't know what to do with the statue. Perhaps I missed it? If so, what do I do?

* if its the one i mean, its hidden. walk into all the cave walls in a cavern in that direction. * you have to know that password. to know it, join the scimitar. * its the one that makes you enlightened. * if that is about what i think it is, then you need a password to be able to talk to the statues erika has dispatched in the larger towns of avernum. to get it, join the scimitar. (or was this a1? or a different statue?) -------------------- OH MY GOD IT'S THE FUNKY ****!!! Posts: 425 | Registered: Wednesday, January 28 2004 08:00 |

quote:The password to talk to the statues is "Divulge", they won't tell you anything unless you say that. Thanks for all of your help! Once I'd gotten in and talked to Aydin, the rest all fell into place. And after I killed Hawthorne, I got these nice fancy 3 screens going over the three major quests I completed. So I've won Avernum! Now onto Avernum 2 for myself! One thing that really annoys me is that I can't tell Micah about: 1) The exit to the surface 2) I assasinated Hawthorne Go my party!

Hey, Micael, how'd you finish the exit to the surface quest? I can't get past that point. Posts: 4 | Registered: Friday, July 8 2005 07:00 |

There's not really all that much. There are two interesting things: one, a couple of buildings that seem to be built in a weird architectural style, and two, the door to the slith homeland (which is unopenable). Of course, the BoA scenario plays this up quite a bit more. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
