Is there 9 skulls in the game? I've only managed to collect 7! I'm backtracking now but have had no luck. Bones count? Is there bones around?

No there are 8 skulls if I remember. But you can feed the demons head with bones also. One is close behind the secret wall one is in the kennel it the first forest. The rest may be in prison cells if I recall.

Is there any purpose to the garbage pit/well near the Toad Queen's altar in the sewers? It looks like there is a passage connected to it, but I cannot reach it as it is higher than the bottom of the watery pit.

No this was made just for the logic that Green Queen had some way to reach the sewers by the aqua passage you saw and not just lived there between empty walls. She could swim outside to some lake (not in the mod) from which the water is coming to the sewers. But you can't reach the passage from you side of the water pit.

I used some charges on the wand against those Fire Elementals. Was there a more strategic approach to killing them? I'm sure the pit with the spikes played into it somehow, but I kept falling in and they kept healing themselves above.

Any freezing spell or freeze bomb will kill them relatively easy. The pit is there to protect the tomb of the mage and also for the player so you can heal yourself in this encounter without too much stress from fire elementals.

I would love to see a fully annotated map after, just to see how much I missed. This mod is chock full of secrets it seems.

I have already been at the cemetery, put the potions on the tables and found out the button on the wall. But the demon head "fires" me. What am I missing ? And where is the table to put the ogre and skeleton figurines ?
I have a lot of amulets and don't know if got that one lost by the thief in the sewers. What is the amulet's name (the one which makes the Butcher visible - let me guess: the Bone Amulet) ? And now, the main issue: what about the forest, the stone guardians and the venon cave ? After which event shall I have access to them, how and where ? I really wish to proceed. Many thanks.

matuto wrote:Thanks a lot. I figured out the problem with the tables at the cemetery. What has confused me was the fact that the table near the demon head glows in blue and the other, near the funeral entrance, shines red. I've put both small red and blue potions on the first one and voilà ! The red table receives the figures (skeleton and pffffff ice_guardian, impossible to wonder). Voilà again. Man, just trial and error. Please give best hints and clues. But that's ok. Now I will search the key and head to the prison. Thank you so much.

Aaah I see... one table glows blue that's right but the other one glows purple on my monitor not red Not pickable Skeleton and Ice Guardian figurines are right under the very same table as a hint what figures must be put on this table. You are welcome and thank you too, now it's time to kill the Butcher!

matuto wrote:Hi Zdenek, a very interesting issue - I managed to recover the staff at the earth temple, first it worked when I tested it but did not work during the battle with the earth elements. The mouse attack button pressed did not bring its special desintegrate attack. I use an old windows xp sp3 machine to play all LG1 and 2 mods, everything runs well with low settings. This time all sets low with music and sounds off. I even removed the torches thinking about the frames. No way. So I spawned some ancient claymores and bingo. They worked to bash the earth elements. Any technical explanation would be appreciated. By the way, can't figure out how to put the near chest down. Maybe it is just scenary ... I will go back to the cave with the earth essence but don't know what to do next.
