| Various Problems & Stuck in Level 3 |
|
Ran game without patch until met King Linshire and that cutscene crashed my computer. So, got the 1.15 patch installed(at least it said it installed correctly), and although it does not crash now, most cutscene voices are mute now. Also, the crunch sound when eating is gone with the patch. Any fix for this?
In level three, in the throne room where the combination is used and pull lever next to where the combination is entered, I find only the secret door to the right opens with a chest inside. Walkthru says the Fridd rune becomes available and another passageway at location 53 on map. I cannot find either; am I just not looking in right places? I see a barred area outside throne room if I turn right and walk to end of that hall. But can't raise the gate here.
So, decided to skip that and continue on, returning idol to troll king. Now stuck finding way back to King Linshire. If I remember correctly, somewhere down in the cave/mine where troll king is, I ran into a blocked wall that should now be clear, having returned idol to him. Is this correct? I tried going back the way I came and the goblin lord to whom you give the authorization note and gem dealer license won't let you pass back into previous area.
Finally, I had problems trading items in Arx. I can buy things, but when I try to sell items by double clicking item in my inventory and dragging onto the shop keeper OR into a chest, most of time it doesn't work. I know some shops won't buy certain things, but for example, the armourer will not buy any of my extra weapons, armour. What gives?
Is it best to restart the game after patching, or can you continue to play?

Wow, that's many questions.. I'll try to answer per question/alinea of your post:
Have no idea.. sounds like a bug. I suffered from disappeared sound in cutscenes but it was before I applied patch 1.15. Reinstalling might help (but backup your saves).
Behind the chest in the secret room there is another lever. Pull it and a new door will open it is outside the throne room in the right corridor (leading to the barred area outside) - look at the left wall and enter a new passway leading to the treasure room. On your way you will see the Fridd rune, which you can get with help of magic.
The blocked pass is not in the Troll kingdom! One end of it is at the human outpost, the other is at Arx city. To return to Arx, you can:
a) walk to the Goblin Dungeons (most probably a Goblin Lord will stay in your way, to make him move just double click on him) , then to the human outpost, then via the opened now passway to Arx city.
b) Altenatively, you can enter the Crystal caves, and then Arx City.
If you cannot orient yourself, check your maps for indications. You can also find complete maps of all levels in the Arx Fatalis site hosted here, at RPGDot.
Double-clicking on an object starts "apply" relationship with this object and any other object you will single-click upon next. In different contexts this relationship would mean "combine", "give", etc.. To trade, just DRAG an object between your bag and that of the merchant.
IMO, there is no need to restart game.
Finally, it would be wise to read the manual shipped with the game, as ingame object interaction and user interface is quite complex in Arx Fatalis.

Thanks for reply; I know my post was long.
I have come to the conclusion that when/if you get stuck-including reading manual, looking at other posts, walkthrough, maps, etc. - just post a thread to instantly clear things up. As soon as I posted this thread, I went back to the game and figured everything out!  The next cutscene even worked! Go figure.
So for me, it is key to embarass myself in order to proceed with the game.
