Oh yeah, I'm still in Kriegspire castle. Boy it sure is tough. How right you are. Those minotaurs take a lot of pounding before they go down. It looks like I'll be hanging around here for a while.

Hi Skippy and Syd,

Well, I still can't get the Warlords cleared out..those dang robot type things..I've tried blades, fire, freeze and static charge..nada..and our whapping at them isn't going good at all...nasty beasties..

Ingie

Is that where those cuisinart guys are? Those are as tough as minotaurs. I found "implosion" sometimes took a bite out of them. There is some nice treasure to be found there. Good luck in there Ingie.

I"m drawing a blank here - where are the Warlords at Ingie? Not sure if I've done them or not or if it was so bad I blocked them out of my memory banks

It's NW of Silver Cove..you have all those druids and gargolys to get through..and then there is the building..
I'm tying fire circle on them now..and I take out a few, then have to run and heal up and try again..geez..this is a tough one..

Syd, you can't forget them they look like Robots..
I can't think of any other word for them..and hard to do anything with..

Y'all will know..I'll post a big banner if I ever get done..

Ingie

I'm lost in Castle Kriegspire. I've done the circular chambers with the ramps on the sides and have pushed the yellow button to open the door with the bars. I know the memory crystal is behind that door, but first I want to find the jewelled egg. I can see where it is on the map in my prima guide, but can't open that door just west of it. I've cleaned out the large area with the bridge and ravine and have come up through the ramp that exits the ravine. I'm now in the hallway that leads to the egg, and yet the door won't open. There are grates near the floor beside the door where minotaurs are slashing at me while I'm trying to get past. When I click on the wooden panel(door)it says there is nothing here. I've tried ramming it but all that we got were some injured shoulders.

Any suggestions anyone?

Skippy this place was a nightmare for me - give me a bit and I'll go back to Kreigspire and retrace how to get to the egg. I can't remember how I finally got there but I do know I decided after it was all over that it wasn't worth it

Ingie I had obviously blocked it out because I've been there, done that

It's a bug, my game has the same problem. A patch was never made, and not everyone experiences it. Some people have no problem getting the egg, probably due to different versions of the game released over the years.

The one quest I could never complete

You know now that you mention it I remember back in October there was some discussion about this. I've got the Millenium Edition. Well ok. Now that I know, I'll tell my guys they don't need to wreck their poor shoulders trying to break through the door. It's only a minor quest, so I'll carry on and just get the crystal. Thanks Syd & Schwab.

The original Lands of Lore had a similar bug.

Susan

Ah I'm playing a different version so they must have fixed it. Truth be told it wasn't worth the paltry 5000 gold I got And guess what had respawned while I was away from Kreigspire? Yup all those nasty Minatours I got rid of the first time - I got back into the castle but my Paladin bit the dust so my group was lugging around a dead body

Back to Alamos I go.

Well I finally captured the Prince of Thieves..had no idea he was in the sewers, thought he was elsewhere.
I had to leave the robots for a bit..they're just too powerful for us..we'll get there..so now;
I am trying very hard to find a stonecutter and someone else to rebuild the temple in freehaven, so I can be Master Spirit and from something on my priestly higher rank..
I finally snagged a Lloyd's beacon spell, now if I can just get it to work for me
wonder if I'll be able to get the egg..I shall find out..
Ingie ..off to who knows where...

Way to go on snagging that prince - Schwab had to tell me the fool was cowering under the bed

Lord Beacon's is a wonderful spell - just remember you have to first Set a location then when you want to go back look up to the top right hand and click on the arrow point up - that's the recall. Took me forever to figure that part out. Just make sure you don't set when you want to recall

I am currently so lost at Castle Alamos it's pretty pathetic. The people who designed these places are not very nice

Thanks for the instructions...I'll have to copy them out..I'm so lost most of the time..

There was this other place near the Lord Stone place..I could not for the life of me figure out what to do..couldn't get any walls or doors to open..can't remember the name of it either..may have been the Shadow headquarters..oh well another later..
got to go find my stonecutter and other person..to build this temple.
And How Many people here are for getting rid of the Harpies..egads, I detest those things
Ingie

Ingie, you need a stonecutter and carpenter, they can be found in houses, not wandering outside. Knock on all the doors south of the temple and you'll find them. Pick them up as you would any NPC helper.

Well I had both, but they wouldn't stay put..Do they have to be together? I mean I had my town portal gal..and the carpenter..took her to the free haven temple that's all a mess..then found the stonecutter, rather handy I would say..and same thing
So, I let town portal go..I went and mastered in water so I could do my own town portal now have the stonecutter and we're looking for the carpenter..reminds me of that song..if I had a hammer,..

Ingie

That's how I did it Ingie - one repair guy at a time. I never did get a town portal gal - was too cheap to pay her the % of gold she wanted Just mastered in Water and zip about myself.

I found the third crystal for the oracle quest - one more to go. Can't remember which one I'm missing but I'm sure the area I have to go in will be vile.

I was right - I have to go to the supreme Temple of Baa - arrggghhhhh

I always thought the 2 repair guys had to be together with you to fix the temple.

found my stonecutter, but dang that carpenter..give up for the night..I think I am hitting the same houses, over and over.

Ingie

Done with that one, geez..

Now, I'm practicing my flying abilities..which isn't too bad, rough on landing though.
I'm doing it in New Soap...and found a place I didn't know was there, amazing..

Ingie

Is it necessary to hold onto any of the letters you find? I've been storing them in the chest in Blackshire, but I need the space they're taking up for other stuff I want to hold on to.

I hope you get an answer to that and about the flute..I tried to give it to a musican, but couldn't think I'll stick it by her door and it can be a secret admirer thing..

Ingie

Well if you do Skippy I'm in trouble because I've been getting rid of them after the quest they pertain to is over.

I also discovered the hard way that the priests at the Temple Baa in New Haven where I go to get healed are thieves! I left a couple of very nice pieces of plate armor on their doorstep for safe keeping while I slayed more dragons and when I got back - the armor was gone - I was ticked off to say the least. No wonder they can heal so cheaply - they steal

The flute is a red herring, I think the designers were going to do something with it but it got left out. Dump it.

As far as I know the only time you lose stuff you dropped somewhere is when that zone re-spawns, then everything is reset and your stuff vaporizes.

Yep, dumped the flute a while back. I've got all of my letters lined up in the Blackshire chest though, and they do take up a lot of space. I think I'll take a chance and dump them. They've served their purpose for the quests.

The nerve of those clerics at the temple in Free Haven. Stealing from the people who helped them. Tsk..tsk....


What's this world coming to?

Stealing is naughty if they do it, and okay-dokay if we do it. I'm sure that's in the rule's book!
Thanks Schwab, I'm tired of lugging it around.
Same here with the letters, I mean some quests wanted proof-took them their letter and I get to keep it for what??

Nice thing in this game though if after a year they repawn, then you also get to find goodies again, especially horseshoes, goodies in trucks, baddies you can now wipe the floor with; gotta love it
