Hi everyone:

I guess I'll start the second thread. Mods, if you see this can you put a link or something to it from the old thread? I'm not quite sure how to do it.

Anyway, I'm in Act III in the Underground Library trying to get the Book of Twilight for Cytha. The head librarian says I can't take it out. What should I do? I don't want to attack them or all the Ranaar with hate me from now on. Any suggestions?

Jean

I didn't do the quest because of the very same reason, but from what I've read, if you kill those particular Ranaar, it isn't a problem with the others.

Jean, I dispatched them all in reverse to the way Nickie did it. When I took the book the two in the room attacked - so worked my way back through the rooms taking care of everyone but later met a dreaded blood knight behind the temple and downed him in seconds

That's the way it goes.

Onward and upward, Jean. Good must overcome evil.

See you later.

Alice.

Hi again.

At the moment I am searching around for food - non in the inventory so can't sleep

Also being shunted from one place to another in a certain forest! At times am not given the opportunity to pick up the loot Ahhhhhh! Did anyone ever find the teleporter in this area?

Also carrying around the Staff of Power but have no idea who needs it. Thought it would be the same people who gave me the Seeing Stone quest but nobody mentions it.

whatever - talking of food has made me hungry so think I'll take a break and make a sandwich.

Be looking in later - I hope.

Alice

Has everyone gone home?

Spent the last three hours doing the teleport tango. Got to area 7 and dispatched the two baddies - BUT didn't find what I expected. Can get back with my stone so am now inspecting, when the tango allows me to stay in one place long enough, to clear the other small black patches.

Now I'm off to bed to mull over what I'm expected to do next. Met the lonely elemental and received a pressie from him, and also the trapped Raanaars. This is a real brain teaser. Despite this I did level up again. Wonders of wonders. Although there is still no food in the pantry

Night, night, another day tomorrow.

luv

Alice

Hi Jean and Alice,
Sorry Alice, gone all day.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />
That merry go round place, just clear as much of the areas as you can before getting zapped.
This is the quest you received from the guy in the house Northeast section outside the city gate.
To fix the area's teleporter.
The staff of power is in a cave that you find in the back of the city walls. You have to visit the prisoner first to get the combination to get in (told in secret) just remember - don't take the staff to the temple until you're ready to depart from this area-no going back at all.
Hoped that help a bit.

Jean,
I'm like Nickie, I just didn't do the quest-didn't want to kill them over a book that didn't belong to that nasty witch.

Ingie

Thanks nickie, Alice and Ingie. I have to think on what I want to do here. I kind of like the Ranaar's. )

Alice, I'm not where you are right now so I can't help. Good luck, and I'll be watching to see what I should do.

Jean

Exactly how I felt Jean, I just couldn't..I liked them.

Ingie

I stood right next to the book, picked it up and used my teleporter stone which took me back to the city where I'd left the other one. I wasn't sure you should kill those Raanar.

Now, that was good thinking and judgement Debra.
Never even thought of trying that.
I didn't want to kill or make them angry..I liked them. :kiss:
So, I didn't even think of another way it could be handled

Ingie

Debra, what a great idea! I'll give it a try tonight. I hate leaving quests unsolved.

I'm at rank 2, and Kiya just challanged me to a dual for the DK. She said I should meet her in her crypt. Is that one of the ones not to do until I'm finished with all the quests?

Jean

Hi Jean - you have just asked a question I was about to post!

Can someone loan me a crystal ball please? I certainly need one.



Sooooo - am in a dilemma - do I go ahead, miss out the temple, the last two BF's and the quests I can finish only by entering the temple, or what?

Decisions, decisions.

Syd has given the Shaman a rest for a bit. Her son has one terrific mother (he is so lucky to have me) and let him borrow her computer so he could run two accounts on Dark Ages of Camelot. In the meantime she is using her old P700 to play games on and is currently roaming around Talanzaar in Outcast and having a blast - literaly - blast a soldier here, blast a crab/spiider thingy there

I will eventually get back to said Shaman sometime, probably, maybe

Hi Jean and Alice and Syd,
You have to beat Kiya to be able to get rank #1.
After that you are allowed in the temple, just go to the rank keeper and you'll be told. You can then proceed whenever you are ready.
You go in and talk to the Black Bishop to get the quest to help him kill the goddess and be allowed in the prison to talk to the prisoner about the Staff of Power, he's the only one that can allow you to open the cave-secret mummers and all.
The staff has to be picked up and placed in inventory, it is a stick with a circular end to it.
Alice,
How were you able to get into the cave without talking to the prisoner?

Go ahead and meet Kiya at the O.K. corral..er, cyrpt I mean, and fight for your DK..it's a little on the funny side.
The only thing to be concerned with is this:
Once you open the stairwell in the temple and descend down the stairs, you cannot go back up.
So finish everything else you want to finish first. This means all the areas above ground, check your maps.
Yes, the wastelands is where you shall be sent.

You can go to the BF's anytime-that is not the story line, so when you pick up BF key #6 (inside the temple, down the stairwell), go on to BF's and finish them up.
I don't know if there is a key for BF 5, I suppose there is, I just never tried to find it I guess.
Those teleporter quests: you bounce around and cover a little more ground each time, finally the whole area is covered and the quest solved for that one. Then you have to replace the stone in the teleporter-I think an imp or something gives you the stone or gem.

Ingie

Well, I went back and stole the book from the Library. I've kind of been jumping back and forth from the crystal forest to the ash forest, and am really going to have to check my maps to make sure I haven't missed anything. I haven't started on the seeing eye quests yet.

Ingie, I also have the staff of power without talking to the prisoner first. I got to the cave a while back. I haven't yet gotten in to see him.

I guess that's it for the night! So many characters to interact with makes me tired.

Jean

Oldman, John, if you look in can you tell me where you met Kiya for the second time, please? From a much earlier thread I understand you declined to fight at the first meeting then put her down on the second meeting.

At present I am feeling ready for her - need to get into the temple. If your second meeting was in the crypts how did you access the temple? Understood that once in the crypts it is impossible to go back.

Has anyone else met Kiya in the crypts who will help me - would appreciate it.

Have recently installed the last patch which appeared to create a bug. Everything moving on screen shook - even searching through the inventory when trading. Solved this by config and using the next resolution down. Mention this as it may help someone in the future.

Now back to the fray - Can I suggest you invest in the shaman hammer?

Ingie - was looking for the book for Barnabus when the entrance to the Staff of Power cave highlighted and I read the rune! Wonders never cease

Back to the fray - Alice

Hi Threads,
I'm about the same place as you in the game. You will go into the crypt on the west side (outside) of the temple to fight Kiya. You can get back out of this crypt. You will then be sent to get the crystal. You can come back out in the crypt on the right side of the temple. A messenger was waiting for me told me the bishop wanted to talk to me.
I then went into the temple and talk to the bishop who told me to go see the prisoner.
I didn't take the staff of power with me, I left it in the house I bought.
I met Kiya in front of the building where you read the billboard. Since you have already met her, she may be in the crypt. If you check it and it doesn't say locked, then she is down there. I'm getting ready to go back to the temple and use the staff of power soon as I do a few things first. Good Luck!
Kay

Jean and Alice, you two are good!

Ingie

Hi Kay - the first time we have met. Nice to say hello.

I took the plunge and went to meet Kiya in the crypt. Obtained a crystal fragment and landed up elsewhere working for the necromancer. He kindly set me back outside the other entrance to the crypt

Tomorrow is another day - will clear out BF6 after lunch

Bless you for coming in to help. So pleased to meet another gamer.

Ingie, I've aleady forgotten what you said - this memory thing is catching.

Goodnight all - happy gaming.

Alice

Ingie - just read your post again. Even though we had the Staff of Power I guess we did need to meet the prisoner - isn't that correct Kay?

Hi Alice,
Thanks for the greeting!
I wasn't sure if you needed to see the prisoner or not. Didn't want to take a chance and mess up anything, so went to see him anyway. I found the staff of power earlier also, so I just put it away until I needed it.
I have been reading the threads from everyone, but have been behind. Just caught up with you and Jean. I still have to do battlefields 5 and 6. I think I'm on level 4 in the crypt, but I'm going to go do the battlefields before I go any farther down.
Kay

Hi again Kay.

Word of advice. Finish exploring the crypt before taking the crystal fragment.

Have you tried passing the amulet for the ghost's sister into DK's inventory for safe keeping. It's hilarious but be warned - SAVE YOUR GAME FIRST.

Happy hunting - I'm off to clear BF6.

Will be back - Alice

Hi Kay and Alice:

I'm around where the two of you are. I killed Kiya, got the crystal fragment and solved tht one, and am now back in either the Ash or Burnt forest solving the teleporter puzzle. It's a weird place because I keep getting teleported here and there to fight elementals. They're in groups and pretty strong. Did you see them?

Anyway, I'm going to try to finish the forests before going down the stairs in the temple. I think I remember you saying the key to BF6 is there. I sure hope so, because I'm close to leveling up to 28. I bought acid rain, which is kind of fun, but it needs to be leveled up for more power.

Have fun! I'll check back in later to see where everyone is.

Jean

Jean,
The bouncy place is actually a quest to solve.
Each time you're bounced, try covering just a little more terriotory until you bounce again, keep an eye on your map as you unfog some of each area.
The teleporter is out of whack you could say

Ingie

Hi Ingie:

How in tHE #)$*()#*@ do I get to the out of whack teleporter? Through being bounced all over the place I more or less know where it is, but can't get to it. I even trying using my pyramids to hop over the lava crevice, but it bounces me back over again. HHEEEELLLLPPP!!!! I've been at this for hours.

How did you do it? Or did you just keep getting closer in until you were there. I am really stuck!

Jean
