Where is the Key to Metal Works - G3

Author	Topic: Where is the Key to Metal Works - G3
Snowwhite Apprentice Member # 8427	written Monday, April 2 2007 23:28 Profile #0 HI There is Phasia's metal works on overgrown road. It requires 16 living tools and i long since gave up carrying that many cause they are too heavy when they add up. Is there a key someplace I missed? The FAQ doesn't mention any problem with getting into the place. Thanks in advance Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, April 2 2007 07:00

He gives you a key and a quest here. As for the alarming and dangerous weight of Living Tools&, I always drop them on the ground when entering an unexplored zone. Ditto anything else that might cause an encumbrance penalty. You can always go back to the zone entry and get the Tools when you are sure that you will need them. Anything that requires 6+ Tools to open may have some easier means of opening anyway, a lever nearby or a reward for completing a quest.

Since you have Phasia's quest you should be able to enter the metalworks without any difficulties. As for encumberance, I tend to select a place on a map that has a lot of loot and drop off loads while I explore the area. Then I pick it all up and head to town to sort and sell. If there's too much for me to carry including all my potions, charms and spores I drop said charms and potions to make room since I'll be back on that map on my return trip regardless. I highly recommend the "exitzone" cheatcode (without quotes) to make the game faster. Posts: 85 | Registered: Sunday, March 18 2007 07:00

You'll be sent back to the start, at the school, which can be quite a pain if you were on a later island. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

Eugi Warrior Member # 8338	written Wednesday, April 4 2007 12:28 Profile #5 Ah, true that. Although I did find that usefull if I needed to go back to restock via the item editor. (I changed it so it would give me the things I actually want like Libing Tools and Reaper Thorns). Posts: 85 | Registered: Sunday, March 18 2007 07:00

I thought that finding the daughter was a quest, but it turned out I had missed a whole set of dialogue options by accident and when I went back i found them and got the key. snow Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, April 2 2007 07:00
