It is one letter only. When you find out which it is, than read note above the reseting platform and connect the dots - it took me quite a while and Bongobeat had to advice me in the end. It has nothing to do with darkness spell/nor with lights on the lower floor:).

Can you please post this letter? Looks so obvious as if i am missing something. Variants: T, L (and lowe chance of V, M, G). Tried both uppercase and lowecase like "t" and "l". But they cant work because light crystal in the center, you cant pass it to make initial in 5x5.

was not able to open that grate too...
...but found a red wheel earlier in the game and that fitted, not 100% sure where but might have been in mount khand
question : how can I open the primordial essence room ? got the sword in that level but that does not help
and I am still looking for the pirate fortress, found a structure that looks like a petrified button near the seashore outside of mount khandf but no idea how to unpetrify it...
and I am not sure about the - fallen guard the way - riddle in the jungle, found two on all tombstones and probably they unseal the door .....

Yeah, well, you need to have red wheel to get to the pirate stronghold, and I have used mine there - I suppose that you have found the right spot.

thx very much, you probably are right
we have the same problem now, how to open that grate

edit : solved
you have to use a had it in my inv but no idea where from, good luck
in the area behind the sewers it might be helpful to have that relic from the Tannhäuser crypt in your inventory, from the description the elf gave it could be very useful, I did not have it and the boss was really hard

It was in the sewers, I have found mine now - thanks for hint. Im sick as a dog for a week and not able to think clearly - Im sure that i have found it before but than died and have not found it in second run. Also got confused with automaton toolbox, which does not work and is given as reward for a sewers quest.
You need to enter pirate stronghold, in order to get into Tannhauser crypt...

and I cannot find that pirate stronghold, found the shop in rocky coast and got a key but that s it there ...

About the redwheel: one is given in a dialogue from the seller in rocky coast west (This can be missed and the wheel is totally lost then), another one is given in the MT sewers (In fact, they are 2 given, if I'm not mistaken, but all are needed for the sewers). It does not matter which wheel you use first, but you have to get all to finish the sewer area or to get in pirate bastion.

And for tannhauser crypt, someone posted the position of the three keys.
one is found in the tannhauser fortress, in the upper area which leads to a tower in the underground
the second is given as reward from the elf of malan tael (feanor)
the last isgiven when you fulfill a quest from a npc in pirate bastion: bringing him 15-20 epic items, most of them are from the first part of the mod.

Not sure about what relic you're talking. But if that's tannhauser's gear, it is not particularly useful for that fight, but its surely give some stats to be more resistant, depending of what you have already.
Tannhauser's gear is particularly useful for any undeads or demon that gives the curse condition, as you get immunity with the amulet, and you do extra damage with the weapon.
Also the full set, cuirass+shield+amulet+sword gives you some immunity

Spell of "Freeze" has no requirements to cast on scroll.
Also, Garsson knight chest key is missing in mod, cant find this chest key anywhere, checked for 5-6 hours every possible location.

No, that's normal, its to be used like that. That spell is ffrom minmay's dm pack, he figured it this way, and I didn't change it.

Or is it some other golem?

You can drop a fireflower from that kind of golem, if you're lucky, right now it is not particulary useful, but keep it for later.

That stone is from a golem in xarasa grotto, a moving golem, which you can kill after the spear door puzzles.
Also do not forget that this stone gives you acces

How to get to den of thieves?

If you've done the quest chain of the intendant/owner of unicorn tavern/archery range, until you get in a small area of the sewers (from the black pearl tavern) and defeated the mini boss, you'll get a pass for a npc in the skyreach. There it will leads you near the entrance, in the rocky canyon.
But you will also need to solve the "riddle" of the portrait in the tavern's underground, It is a little harder to find now, as in the screen, there is some kind of "orange/sunup/sundown" environment. But that environment is not like that anymore (the time was frozen in that level, to get always that ambient color, but now the time is unfreezed.)

This ghost can be found in:

If you have a boarding pass, you can be thrown there by an NPC!

Hmm, I have two boarding passes but I got the one for skycity first and used it. I have not managed to use the one way boarding pass from the

black pearl.

Do you have the skycity boarding pass as well and do both passes work for you? Do both passes work from the captain's quarter of the airship or are there different locations to use the passes?

I just tested and dropped my skycity boarding pass and only kept the oneway one. But the captain still wants to transport me to skycity. Hmmm.

The captain of the airship is a different thing, it leads only to skycity. At this point it is the faster thing to finish the quest of the negation orb. For the underground quest chain, you need to get to another npc, the house in the east. It is accessible (the dialogue) once you got the black pearl's pass.

There is no different effects if you choose one answer or another. It all gives the same key.

I suppose that's the small black stone, you'll get it when you finished the rituals. You have to get back near the entrance of the tomb of thousand faces.
It is also a quest item, given to a dwarf in mount khand. If you have already finished that quest, then there is not possible to open the secret anymore, with that stone.

If that quest is completed, the only thing to do is to spawn that rock in the console, if you don't have any save before.

killed the 2 tricksters and there is a receptor with a teleporter in front, how do I turn it off as I think it needs something put in it to deactivate a forcefield door to get across the other side.

There is some kind of "weak" platform, try to stay there.
The teleporter will be desactived once you reach the "bottom" of the rift, and solve a few riddles.

Whisper wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 2:52 am Anyone found Garsson chest key? To open his chest in underground.
I think you need dig for it in area with stone golem fight. But so far, couldnt not dig it. Maybe just hidden elsewhere?

That key is in the higher grounds of the rocky canyon, in the south west.
