View Full Version : Stucked, please help
Finally, completely stucked !!! Please help me, not that I want to finish the game:p
So, Ammon Jerro told me that he will help me to find Nolaloth, but he will not come with me... The shard sword is not forged yet... My fort is doing very good with almost everything ( except strength unit, I still don't know why ), I've got a new sergeant in my team, a woman... I've met the first Shadow Reaver, but I could not get anything important from it... I still don't know how to find or make a Faint Power Essence... Red Giants and Red Dragon are history...
So, what am I doing wrong, and where should I search more? Any idea is welcome !!!
I think he will never go with you anyway. Has he marked a location to find Nolaloth in the north west of your map.
The clues on what to do maybe recorded in your journal.
He CANT go with you,
The game will not let you go there with him in your party..
Nolaloth does not like him ;)
essences are usually dropped by shadow priests
Nothing in NW of the map. And, something curious, when my team is seeing in the keep basement the warlock Ammon Jarro, ( when he is not in the team, of course ) they start to beat him. And if I want to talk with him... the sign with the sword appear, and I start also to beat him. Maybe this is the reason I can't find the location of that site at NW on my map??
And except the Red Dragon, I still had no chance meeting others. I should have?
wow, kicking ammon jerro around in your basement, vlad... such a twisted friendship there... :p bug purhaps? he say something to you in a conversation to piss off your party? lol
As for the map location, it's not really in the North West of the map.. it's North West from the Illfarin ruins you just came from... should be tagged as an "X" with some graphics, it's at the very top center of the map, in the mountainous region...
power essences, we are looking into this.. I have yet to see one in game so far, but looking...
Ive also got a similar problem and its driving me mad!!! im pretty much the same but my crew isnt beating up Ammon.
The only place i have on my wold map are; Port Llast, Merchant Quarter, Crossroad Keep, Highcliff, Ironfist Stronghold, Mount Galardrym, Circle of the Mere, Strange Clearing and Ember.
So i cant travel to see Nolaloth's place or the Illfarin ruins (where the song portal is). I am also no long able to tell Nevelle that I'm ready to defend the keep.
My active quests are; Reform Sword (weird thing is, i did nothing to active this quest, just went to the keep and it appears. no cut-scene with Ammon or anything), Stop Shadow Reavers (killed one), Alliances (got dwarves and lizards), An Overly Cleaver Arachnid (broken, i killed the spider), Reach the Vale of Merdelain, Fortify Keep (done but no one acknowldges it), Reactivate Construct, Neeshka and Leldon (bugged, killed him too), Adventurous Children and A Soldier's Story.
In short lots of problems that im sick of.
PS sorry for the big post, i figured the more information the better :)

You wont be able to tell him that you are ready to defend the keep until you have reforged the sword, and once you do this, it's head long into the end of the game sequences and fights.

ok, i'm going to go down the list of these quests, maybe something I'll say hints at something you haven't done to complete them completely.
Reform Sword: There will be an icon on the mini map appear in the same spot as the Illfarin ruins, where you did the rites of purifications, but listed under a different name. Talk to the gith, aldanon, and ammon and see if there are any new dialoges pertaining to the sword.
Stop Shadow Reavers: Yeah, if you've killed one already by using the true-names scroll that ammon and zhej have.. this is about the only one you'll kill until later sequences of the game.
Alliances: dwarves and lizards are the only ones that i managed to get also. Did you travel to the Circle of the Mere with Elanee yet? If you go here, you will come upon the druids of the circle who are corrupted. Get Elanee to side with you and kill the druids. also this quest wont show complete until you can tell Sir Nevalle that the keep is ready to defend.
An Overly Cleaver Arachnid: simply a side quest, nothing major out of completing this quest except a giant spider living in the keep basement, that will knit you a magical cloak..lol
Reach the Vale of Merdelain: There should have been a book dropped off the shadow reaver that you killed earlier, that had a tome on him. this is the one needed by Aldanon to create the portal so you can go kill the King of Shadows, this quest wont finish until after you've defended the keep.
Fortify Keep: wont finish until you've told sir nevalle that the keep is ready to defend.
Reactivate Construct: personally never could find the "glowing liquid"... but the construct was there with the gnome during most of the cinematics..*shrug*
Neeshka and Leldon: side quest, doesn't need to be done to progress end-game story line
Adventurous Children and A Soldier's Story: You are really WAY too far into the story already to complete these.. Adventurous children is one you complete before you leave Highcliff to sail to neverwinter. and A Soldier's Story, is simply heading back to West Harbor before everyone was killed and talk to the Starling mother.**also this quest is bugged if you are running v1.00 it's repeatable indef for 500xp a pop...
Other than all that, only thing i can say is to start talking to your companions and NPCs: Ammon Jerro, Zhej, Aldanon, Elanee, etc... those are the only ones that will matter at this point... Talking to khelgar, neeshka, the bard, bishop, etc wont do anything or have any updated dialoge
If nothing comes up new, try back tracking your steps to the surrounding areas that you have on your map for anything you might have over-looked. If still nothing... then your game is bugged.. GG obsidian
It's done. All you have to do is to try over and over until the Shadow is giving you the proper shard. Was happening twice to me to get from him another one... and the third time, after you kill him, you get the right shard. I think that this should be also written in the walkthrough, because it seems I was not the only one with this problem. So, advice: save before you go to the fight with the Shadow Reaver.
Thank for the advice. I talked to everyone and went everywhere i could get to but to no avail. I have loaded an old save, just before the first shadow reaver, hopefully it will work this time. Otherwise its back to Battlefield 2142 :)
PS to finish the "Reactivate Construct" Quest, take the bard with you to the cavern under ember (where u find the spider) and go into the room where you take the glowstone from, and he should automatically take a sample of the water in the room. if you cant get it to work just walk round in that room, near the pools, till it happens. Once you have the water and the rune sample you can go back to the keep, fix the construct and you can now add him to your party. If you have the skill you can also improve his weapons, armor and strength. just talk to him and examine repairs.
Hope ive returned the favor!!
@ stot41 : Hope it worked my solution, and thx for the tip.
What kind of spell or something is needed to pass through the black cloud in that basement with a lot of skeletons? 'Cause I don't see other way to advance... and yes, I am stucked again.
Thanks
if you are talking about the strange black fog in the final area, there's no spell needed to pass through them. the fog actually teleports you to a different location within the dungeon.. you have to go through a series of these in order to reach the final room where you battle Garius one last time and the King of Shadows. :)
I don't think it's the last fog... it's, I think, the first one:rolleyes: ... after I beat the firsts skeletons and other things... but I can't enter to it, in it.
So, it's a bug, I should reload?
hmm... you should just be able to walk into it, or click somewhere past it to make your character walk through it.. if not, i'd say try reloading to a save just before you go there and try again... other than that, your guess is as good as mine. we all seem to be uncovering new bugs everyday
Yep, I just solve it.... just reloaded !!! But, I think is better that the players know about being carefully for keeping some saves, in some major points of the story. Just in case, right?:cool:
yeah, it's rightly true. even obsidian states in their tips when loading areas every once in a while... to keep saves and frequently... what i did personally while going through the game was create a new save everytime i started on a different quest or waiting to do something important, whether it be side quest or main.. you never know, and it's always good to have a backup to go and try something new from a specific point of the game just to see how it'd turn out...

Just a quick question. Where exactly do you find the Rune Sample for the construct? I've found the water, but i still have yet to find the sample.
Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
