You won't be able to solve this puzzle until you've found the second outside entrance to the rotating room.Ĭheck the entrance carefully from top to bottom. You've probably guessed by now that you can rotate the room to line up the doors with various hidden corridors. This puzzle will need to be solved later in the game. What is the strange device near the cage?.This quest (after bringing them to Lumen) is difficult. His name is Lahdanar and you will receive 7 Bross for taking him and his company back to Lumen where he will go 50/50 with you on some treasure if you find a way to protect them in the crystal forest…which you can now do. You will get a fierce looking mercenary captain looking for transportation to the West. The Heat Shielding Crystal will allow you to enter the crystal forests and is required in the objective chain of “Dread Reavers.” To initiate that line of quests, go to Tor’zag’s shelter with some renown (1 or 2 I believe) and click the Civic District – Dragon Nest Inn – Ask around for well off passengers. Put this in either the Arms or Miscellaneous slot in the Cargo tab. You can get one from the market tab – equipment tab in Lumen. Now you can equip the Heat Shielding Crystal in the Sorcery Slot in the Cargo tab.Īlthough not required to equip it, you will need to buy a pair of Calerus Protection Gear (6.5 Bross) in order to enter the crystal forests.
When you unequip it, you will immediately get those movement points back
Have two move points as the crystal will reduce your movement by 2 after equipping it.Level a mage companion (Finndurath who is obtained just south of Deven on the main road) in order to get both Spellweaver (under Deputy) and Channeling (under Combat Skills & Traits – the traits part which is under the skills.) You will also need to put that companion in the Deputy slot when at a town or camp.In order to use the heat shielding crystal, you will need the following: In return, she will give you the heat shielding crystal. Return to Shebenni in Lumen and hand over the pure white crystal. Obtaining & Equipping the Heat Shielding Crystal After doing so, it will “be time to seize the crystal.” You will receive +1 pure white crystal, -2 movement and +3 insight. This time you will need to kill 3 of them. Nothing special here for either of these fights.Īfter defeating that group, you will have to attack the next. You can steal past the first group and press further into the hive, unless you want the extra Chitin. If you only have two, I recommend putting both in the bottom 2 slots, mage behind the tank, so only a maximum of 2 Yrgs can attack you each round. I was able to barely get through with 2 (Orc companion at level 4 or 5 and Finndurarth at level 2 or 3,) but I recommend bringing 3 as even 3 at level 1 or 2 can get through it. Upon arriving, you will select “Search for Hive” – “Follow Tracks” – “Decend into Hive.”Ī maximum of 6 companions can be used and a minimum of 1. See image for exact location of Yrg Hive. You will find it roughly Northwest of Lumen.
Proceed to the southern side of Loom which is now marked on your map. I do not know what you get if you use the dampsmoke, I cannot help with that as I did not need it, I recommend not using it as defeating the Yrgs will give you Chitin which you can sell in town. Note that in your journal under the qualities tab is an entry entitled “White Crystal in Loom.” This will give you a little more information and mentions using dampsmoke to help you get through the Yrg-Hive.
The quest is initially obtained by receiving the rumor “Master Crystal Mage.” I am unsure of which city you get this in (or if it is random.) Most likely from the cities between Tor’zag’s Shelter and Deven.Īfter receiving the rumor, go to Lumen and you will have the option to visit “The Crystalmancer’s Vault” and speak to Shebenni who will ask you to get a white crystal in Loom.
