Gem mine: books

[CheeseshireCat]

After completing the gem mine, the librarian spirit gave me three books on Illefarn history. That's fine, but all three have an activated ability on them. Or, even, a custom, targeted, Bard-only activated ability. I tried using them on everything I could think of, but got absolutely no noticeable result.

Anyone has an idea, what to do with them?

[Nenya]

I don't travel with my bard, so I just sold the books. LOL

[Bardess]

Also sold them. For good money, heh.
Aww, bards can use them? Heck, I wasn't playing a bard :(

[Liso]

I set them in the last page of my pack and never even looked at them. How sad is that? I did not even know they had any special abilities :o

:)

I've picked things up, knowing that they must be of some use to one of the characters. But I end up selling half of it, because I don't want to take the time trying to figure out who uses it, and what it's used for. Add that to the fact that there is no one place you can store things throughout the whole game. I lost a ton of stuff at the Sunken Flagon, not realizing it was going to disappear off the world map. After that, I just sold everything I couldn't use right away.

Actually, these books' description (R-click, examine) says that they are usable and by bard only, but any character with decent UMD skill (like my wizard -- has UMD of 12) could use them. Still, I can't understand what are they for. I finished Gem Mine 3rd, and thought they are needed to activate the Song Portal. Spent about 40 minutes trying to use them there (different order, whatever)...

Haha, that happened to me too, I stored a load of my good items in the box there (after the trial by fighting) and suddenly... it disapears off the map, with no way to go back :p oh well. I'll know for next time I go through the campaign.

so why can't i open it... iv done 3 rituals...

Hmmm bug?

and i really don't understand how to use the debugmode 1 cheat.

?

acan you help me with this?

[btcentral]

If you've activated all the other statues, and it still won't open then yes, it's a bug.

In this case try re-installing the game and updating to the latest patch.
If that doesn't work, then you will have to post on the official forums and hope a game dev will be able to help you.

Hmmm i tried to reinstall the game... did't work... but maybe i missed the first statue? the one you see before the orc camp.... but it says can't get activated while in combat mode?

Huhhh`?

[btcentral]

Now that is a bug.

You have to load a previous save and start that bit from the beginning i'm afraid... making sure to activate that statue first.

Taken from the game - TIP: Save often, using different slots.
You should do what the game tells you to :p
