FINISTERRAE version 2.3

[Nathaniel]

can be recharged as usual by a wizard with the appropriate spell...

Really?! Such a spell in the game?.. I didn't know about it... I need to find a spell then?

I have a question... In the sanctuary of the Fir Bolg and Underwasto I met two wizards. In principle as long as none of them has not prevented me to fulfill my purpose and search the place of their presence. But in the first playing I remember that one of them eliminated. In the same way I wanted to eliminate the second in the sanctuary of the Fir Bolg. It will not lead to undesirable consequences in the game?

And another question... In personal correspondence I was a little rushed to conclusions... I have not figured out a multi-level drawbridge in Underwaste. Yes, I found a guide to action but I still managed to get only to the locked barred door behind which the forces of the power gem and the altar with the sign of the element of water on the floor. And I was able to climb the stairs to the double one more forcefield with the power gem inside. I can't figure out how to neutralize the forcefields blocking these power gems. Or am I still too early to get these power gems? I collected three essences and drag them along. Essence of air, earth and physically... I also have two power gems and I need two more...

Underwaste is one of the more complex dungeons because puzzles exists but they aren't visible as the multilevel bridge. The elements of this "puzzle" or enigma, if you want, needs to see all that is here before action (except killing monsters ). The goal is

SpoilerShow

to awake the drowning god, and he says he needs his "children" (power gems). To free the pw, you need something special interacting with the central altar, and this thing is elsewhere in the dungeon, but to pick it, you need to go to the Twisted Forest...

All this "clues" are in game and in this place, so if you collect them, you have all the answers you need. Eventually, you could awake the god using other "children" found elsewhere, it works too, but sooner or later you need some more pw, so...
In the same way, you can't use essence of air if you don't have already fire and water essence (remember the text "Power of the Runes" in Wreck Cape).
It's imo the principal difficulty in Finisterrae: you can't solve 100% of some levels without some progress in the others, because the goal is to restore the balance, as the texts says

My precedent post was incomplete: the Zhandul Orb is needed to accomplish some ritual (but it isn't necessary to success in the main story).

Good luck!

Good luck!

Well...

Something I'm quite confused again...
I can't go anywhere else! For example, in the mines of the Fir Bolg I have found a key under the table, opened the door, killed the Uggardian. I even wrote: "Guard destroyed!" or something like that. I took the power gem. But another door was left without a key! Where is the key? Merchant stones upstairs told me that need a place to pray. How to pray ?!

In the forest I get into different portals and find myself in some dungeon. Below is a lighthouse, but I can not understand the meaning of two puzzles.

SpoilerShow

Well... it's a whole library in my inventory! I have a whole bunch of folded notes in a trunk in my makeshift warehouse. There is simply no place to wear it all!!

There was a pile of cards. Terminated hunters and go digging in the woods all the bumps!

Addon "Finisterrae" rightfully now occupies the MOST HONORABLE first place in complexity!

How to pray ?!

I think you have to find a temple
Let me explain: you have a small village in FRQ, today full of ratlings, but it was in the past milesian village full of mine workers. I expect you have see a tower with a little dome on it and an altar under the dome, and perhaps the little temple under it like a church with its bell tower! Not so difficult to find I think...

You need only one thing: the riddle near each button panel and the scroll "The Power of Runes". This text tell you that runes go two by two separate by a mediator: "...it is necessary to use at first the mediating runes:
The Air (between Water and Fire)..." . Each riddle has to be associated with the spirit speaking, by example:

"Nothing between us
Is the end for me" sounds like fire versus water, so you push ...

Not so difficult imo, and with only one scroll to use.

You need only one thing...

Basically, I thought so... But I can't open spear doors. Yes, the two spear doors opened but then I can't yet understand. Well, I think later about it... But thank you for this advice.

One riddle, one buttons panel, three buttons sequence, one spear door open. Runes associated by pair with order so eight riddles to solve and you win when you reach the center of the tower. That's it. When you fail, back to the arena to kill or be killed by a bunch of wargs and perhaps a knight commander if you are not lucky...

Thank you!

I write to you in forum Nexusmods to inform something... I have not worked the whole day forum. So wrote the night there...
Therefore, I copy text here...

1. I was able to complete the tower of life! Essence of Life is already at the beacon at Mountain of Eight. However, I did initially put on the altar in the Twisted Forest. Beacon sounded and I thought that all is well and working as it should.

2. I beat a problematic situation with meat and a beacon for the essence of the earth. I put to the beacon essence of the earth. The beacon also sounded, there was an inscription: "Earth is awake!"

3. I solved the riddle of mines of Fir Bolg. That's just, I can not in any way take two of the four power gems. One cache pulled. The second took the upper left room with the fire elementals. The other two are not taken in hand, I can not of their "take". Please, help me!

SpoilerShow

Sending two saves in the archive... One problem with one savegame before the one power gem, the second before the second power gem. Please "take" these crystals and to do so to be able to pick up the essence of fire.

And another problem...
I took with me initially in the mine six meteorites hoping to get all the meteor armor set. But five parts received, gloves did not get. And a meteorite I stayed.

I will answer to your last pm but for the moment I can't, the sql qcript on the grimrock page don't work! So for now I give you answers here.
Life is already on the EIght Mountain's beacon: yes, it is, and when all the quests are accomplished, all but one of the beacons will be enlighted.
Bravo for the earth beacon: put a piece of meat on it was certainly a silly idea, but by the way, you have found a script issue nobody has found before!!! So thanks you! I was thinking that beacon in the initial game work only with essences, but I was wrong. Correct this bug take me ten minutes, it's a pity I have not see it before!

A good thing for you is that if you go to EM, you could check that the essence of earth is in place, so you can go on...

For the pw gem problem, I will check your save first, but if I remember, it's a problem linked to first and second hands (each champion has four hands )
Gloves are in the mine, but they are hidden in a secret place.

And?.. What do I do now? wait a little bit? Okay, I'll do that.

Gloves are in the mine, but they are hidden in a secret place...

In the same location? In mine? Well I'll look for them. Do not prompt then!

P. S. With lizard's meat I already understood...

As already mentioned I just downloaded the earlier savegame and went all over again. So it does not matter... That's really what the essence of earth remained up there on the altar in Rock Cove.
I was confused that in the Twisted Forest it was gone from the altar, but the glow and the sound remained. But it appeared on the top tier of the Mountain of Eight...

Well, thanks for the help! I'm waiting for further instructions!

Hi Nathaniel,
The power gem problem: you have got this message:
"...Then let me show
Two stay with our father
When they see me , they will join me..."
So, you have to put a power gem in hands of one champion (whatever he is) in a visible way. As each champion has two sets of hands, you have to put it in the front hands (visible on the character icone).
You see: don't keep your hand behind you
When this is done, go in front of the pw gem and "chazam!".
