Go look around the council building if you want your teleporters.

There is a staff that is sometimes very easy to miss. And one time I even found it but it was "stuck" in a wall. If you can't find it, it may have fallen somewhere outside the room, as it did for me that one time. If that is the case, you may have to redo the battle. If you don't relish the thought of that, get some scorpions, go down the ladder, drop 2 or 3 of them and go back up the ladder. Then go back down and most of the enemies should be dead. You can also throw a couple of scorpions at Herself.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Got my pyramids back and I'm now doing the Council of Seven Quest - sorta. I decided while I was up top, to go back to the graveyard and see about that salesman you all were talking about - thanks guys - you don't even want to know how long it took me to figure out how to take down the 'ole shrimp man. First of all it took me a while to figure out how to get him to appear I am back in Iona's dungeon and found another level I missed before. I also have two out of three of the Holy Weapons. Any ideas where the third one is and for that matter - what it is? I have the dagger and the amulet. I also have all four pieces of the treasure map. Just not sure what to do with it. Haven't tried to combine them - guess I should at least give it a shot. I also have three pieces of dragon armour. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with it - but guess I'll keep it just in case it's important later on. Geeez I just re-read what I wrote and it sure is a mish-mash of stuff done, doing and un-done

whoa, impressed here!! I think I only 2 of the treasure map-maybe 3 2 of the dragon armor and only 2 of the holy grail quest-could have had 3, but that's the little part that when I patched got wiped out-the dagger was inside, it said I had already opened the door-the door was locked, sigh Oh well, the fun of RPG is you get to do it again and can fix what you coulnd't first time through.

Try a healer for the lizard scroll. The sword is in Iona's dungeon. The imp scroll is in the imp castle's dungeon on a rotten food pile.

You didn't think SHrimpo was funny, Syd? I about fell off my chair when he appeared. By now you've probably put the treasure map together - and you need to look somewhere in the Dark Forest for it. If you need more hints,yell. It sounds like you are in the right place to get the other holy item - And by the way, you must go to the ceremonial place where you need to combine them before you go through the divine ceremony.Once you go through the divine ceremony (which you start by ringing that big gong)with the council of seven you can't go back to do quests or get stuff or anything! And YAY to Row for defeating the evil Josephina - at least this time, hee hee. And great, Zanthia linked you to the map, so hope you can get your scroll!

Shrimpo was funny looking but with those claws he took my head off faster than you can say "steamed" I just spent the last four hours going through Iona's dungeon - holy mackrel (in memory of Shrimpo) is that sucker huge and nasties coming out of the woodwork. It took me 45 minutes to kill that pink scorpion looking thing in the bottom. I still haven't found the other holy weapon so I guess I'll start from the top and work my way down again. I also missed the three chained barrels that would lead me to the nuthouse (and after spending four hours killing baddies - I'm ready for the nuthouse). Haven't done a thing with the map yet but thanks for the tip on where to look once I have it together. So you're saying to leave the ringing of the gong until last if I want to finish up my unfinished quests? Anyway I'm going to take my tired mouse hand to bed - see you guys in the morning

Row and Syd Seems like you just started; declaring how whimpy you were and now-oboy- I can assure you all of one thing, it will all be worth it in the end-especially knowing there will be brand new adventures based on these folks and storyline. Ah, the gong of the bell, once you ring that sucker, say so long to your left behinds, it really was fun though and a little more to come, but later on that Ingie __________________________________________________ Playing Morrowind-tribunial and BloodMoon loaded Divine Divinity finished-zanzarah finished Ghost Master-patch to be ready, soon Riftrunner and DD2-yahoo Summoner awaits me

Syd, that dungeon could keep you looking for some time. Pay special attention to areas where you see dead skeletons (ummm) and candles in proximity.

Zanthia, thank you so much for that screen shot. I finally got that imp scroll. I saw a cut scene of Goemoe leaving that inn. I couldn't ask him for the lizard scroll. <img border="0" alt=" " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> Does that mean I will never get it? There's no failure note beside that quest yet. I did ring the bell when I was first in the council rooms, mainly because it was there to ring! I do want to finish up so many of my other unsolved quests before finding everyone. Here are some quests that I have missed. If anyone can help, please do. How do you -solve George's murder? -restore Maria's reputation? -solve the plague problem? Can't find the doctor or get into his house. -is the bar fight winable? -can't find the feign death potion (I thought I had it, but it wasn't the right potion) -save the girl from the zombie? -can't find dracula any more These are just a thimbleful of unsolved quests. I had such a bad day today (see Mixed Bag) that I want a picnic in Divine Divinity today. I did finish the Iona dungeons and killed that ugly thing. Syd, I thought you had killed him for me.

Wow, I hope I can answer some of those. In the poor graveyard where you saw the cutscene of Jake and the girl, I believe you click on a grave to get to Jake's lair. Be sure and save before you do that, as I don't know if the patch cured the previous glitch that wouldn't let you save once in the cave. Once down there, you have to kill Jake and his minions, and that will rescue the girl. On George's murder, you have to learn who the police (?) suspect in the murders of the girls. You confront the guy (and I can't remember who it is, maybe the wine merchant), and he swears he is innocent, so you look around his house, going into the basement. You should run into George's killer there. Once you kill him (and he will have admitted his guilt) you can return and tell Mordaneus, which solves the quest. If you've already started the council seven quests, I don't know that you can have this dialog with Mordaneus. Before the patch, you also couldn't solve the quest if you stole the plant in the very beginning of the game. Restoring Maria's reputation, you have to check out the logbooks in the merchant's house, which show that she was telling the truth.You confront Malcolm I think, and then you tell Maria about it. To get into the doctor's house - there is a key to the house in the bushes on the south side of the house, I think. Or did you mean once you're in there, what do you do to get to the lab? You don't need to see the doctor to do the quest. You get the feigned death potion from the priest at the cursed abbey. Which bar fight do you mean? The one where a guy is friendly and challenging everyone, or the one where you have a quest that a guy in the bar sends you on, and you decide whether to side with him or the other guy? Who do you mean, when you say Dracula? Did you see the cutscene of Goemoe leaving the inn after you rang the gong? You have to have all the council members there for the ringing of the gong to take you out of that world, but possibly it made the cutscene happen, I don't know. Sorry you had a bad day!

I can remember some of these and back up Nickie on: Yes, the wine merchant-go there The Vampire in the cave-that the boy was at, is that the one you mean? You can do that quest now, and kill him if that's the one you mean. Maria-that's what I remember about her, get the letter-I thought I had to take it to the head honcho in town, then back to Maria and he sends for her Use the alt key pressed while walking around the Dr's house the key will be high lighted for you. Isn't that the house, Nickie that once you're inside you have to go to the basement? Was there a puzzle area to it?

Updates: Saved the girl from Jake. That was such an old quest I had forgotten which cemetery to look in. There are so many of them in DD. Mordaneus is locked in his house, and I can't find the way back in through the well. How do I get to speak to him now? At the beginning of the game when he was mad, I had gone down the well and through his basement, but now I can't find the ladder up to his hatch. Orcs had invaded Aleroth and had to kill them off. I still haven't restored Maria's reputation. I can't get into the book room of the Merchant Guild. It is locked. What's the secret for getting in? Locked doors seem to be my biggest obstacle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> I can't get into some of the rooms in the doctor's house. Another locked door is in the cave with the vampire bat. I released the boy, but the vampire locked himself up and I can't get in to kill him. I lifted the curse from the abbey, but can't find the priest to get that feign death potion from him. I have a "purple potion" and a "super potion" in my inventory but don't know what they are for. Gareth wasn't interested in them. I meant the friendly bar fight for money. Maybe it's just a trick to get my money. Syd, have you got most of your quests done? I'm trying to clean up some of the older quests now because I can't remember all the circumstances when they were given to me. It is so easy to get side-tracked in subquests before you can do the main ones. Have you met Josephina yet?

row, great that you go the imp scroll the friendly bar fight in the bar can be done--i did it. don't recall the details except you need a lot of strength. the Mordaneus quest is one of the most broken quests in the game. i don't know if the most recent patch fixes it. in the cave with the boy, you need to either use lockpick level 3 to open the door, or get telekinises level 2 to pull the lever. the doctors house you mentioned is tht the one with the plague cure. if so opening the doors is a big puzzle by clicking on the lights in the proper order

row,
here's an update on winning the bar fight
drink lots of strength potions just before the fight so it is over 200 as you have to drop all your stuff.
if you can still can't win there is also a way to win that is an exploit but i won't say what it is unless you want to know.

Yeah Zanthia! I wasn't sure I was thinking of the right house. I think also the room where the papers are kept might have been a puzzle also-something about the doors being opened in sequence, maybe? I may be thinking of another house. Lockpick was one skill I maintianed and kept my all my keys I found-but I was a thief I was thinking Mordenus'key; wasn't it on the grounds somewhere? Maybe I locked picked it also, not sure now-drat.

Hi Row - I looked at my list and have 11 quests not finished. -The Council of Seven (working on these now) -Finding the treasure with the treasure map - Solve the problems between the elves and dwarves -Bar fight -Wishing Well -Bottle of wine -Trapped friend -Finding the location of a black market -Finding out about Tingal -Fight mountain trolls -Potion for Cedric I've actually done the majority of these, but I must have not done it in the order I was supposed to because even though they are showing not finished, I got the experience points. Like the bottle of wine - I know I did that because I got the dagger, same with finding the bandits and Tingal. I fought the mountain trolls but maybe I need to wipe them all out. And I found three people with the plague and could only cure two so I show one of those as incomplete. The one about the friend is the little girl's cat Cosmos - I released him but maybe there's something more I need to do. I know she mentioned something about a chicken coop - maybe I have to visit them all and see if I can find anything. I just got the holy weapons blessed and have the one I chose. Now I'm off to try my hand at treasure hunting No sign of Josephina yet and after reading what you guys have said about her - I'm not too anxious to find her either I don't think you can get into the book room in the merchant's guild until you restore Maria's reputation. Did you get the book from Malcom's house? You need to show the guild master the book and he then gives you free range of the guild plus that restores her reputation.

Row, the key to Mordaneus' house is in Lanilor's house, in the back on top of a piece of furniture. On Maria's quest, the records are in Malcolm's house in the back room, also on top of a piece of furniture.I told you the guild before, and that isn't correct. Have you done the ceremony with the three holy items - you need to do that before you become the divine one, because you can't go back and do it.
