Hey all,

How do you get rid of the undead plague around Mertis?

Thanks,

Ike

Perhaps I recall this incorrectly, but I don't think you can.

(looks at sig)

Whoah... that's a bit disturbing. Are you okay?

It's quoted from elsewhere, although the only elsewheres that I can find for it don't exactly make it less disturbing.

You can't exactly stop the undead in A1, but you can kill the spirit in the center of the crypt and get a reward for doing something to help. In A2 you can really break the curse with the Ritual of Sanctification.

Gorvifal's crypt was more roundish, wasn't it? I know it's not exactly a crypt, but the somewhat more spirally Pit of the Wyrm is a truly challenging and freaky level which is my favorite dungeon in A3. It psyched me out like no other dungeon. The reward is certainly tremendous, and it is bitterly bought.

Er, probably not, considering there aren't any elves in the Avernum world.

Gukhbar's Pit has a Dryad in it, though. You rescue her.

You have to use Ritual Sanctification in the center of the spiral pit.
