| I feel I'm at a stalemate in my game. Please help me. |
|
Hello,
I'm at a point where I have the Zohark ring, I've explored levels 1-8 ad nauseam with no progress, and I don't know where else to go or what to do. I'm still trying reach the other side of the castle (to bypass the caved-in passage). I've noted some venues that have potential but I can't figure out: I've noticed several unstable walls with potential, but no luck passing them; a passage blocked by a magic field; a stone wall with and odd-shaped keyhole; I dislodged the stalagtite in the "ice cave," but can't reach the other side.
I think maybe if I had one more levitate scroll, or better lockpicking skills to open a few chests still locked, or another rune to unlock a dispel field spell, or give the troll the correct birthday present, I might be able to make some progression. I'm stuck.
Also, i've been reading some threads and discovered I've done some things differently and/or I was not aware of, such as: I could've talked to the queen snake lady (they attack me), I can pickpocket people (is there an icon for that?), ummm I forgot the other ones.
Oh yeah, those weird structures that seem to be on every level, they look like they could be teleport stations? Is that true? If so, how do I use them? Or is that for later in the game?
I appreciate your help. Thanks!

Read the thread named "Arx for Dummies. I can't really figure out where you are in the game to help, but the PDF will give you a walkthrough and maps of all the levels to use. I think you need to go to level four and go behind the troll mine area and go down the stairs, then right, and find stairs going up again. This will take you through the crystal caves and open a new path for you and get you to city. This game is hard, and you do need the maps at least.
The Snake ladies should not attack you unless you stole from them or trespassed before they wanted to let you in. You need them and need to talk to them well into the game to be able to finish. There are Runes all over, but you have to know where to look. Again, the maps and or walkthrough will help. You have to get to city to go any farther in the game. Pickpocketing is hard and you do get a picture of a bag letting you know you are in sneak mode and could do it, but no guarentee you won't be caught. Need high stealth level for it. The teleports are just what you thought. Once you get to city and do a few things, the snake lady in the castle will teach you how to activate them.
I have one other suggestion, if you haven't done so, be sure to download the patch and install. Click on the hosted site Arx then support files and go to more help I think. You should be able to find it, if not, just post and I or someone here will be glad to help. Hope this gets you going again. This is a great game, and the best part is that you can do a lot of things differently and still win. Welcome to the World of Arx.

Thanks! You know, last night before reading your response I finally got to the castle and talked to the king and knew I was screwed when he asked me to deliver a message to Pog. I had already killed Pog, because had I slipped past the troll blocking the entrance and all the trolls attacked me. So, I decided to start a new quest. The moral of the story is, don't kill anyone unless first provoked.
Thanks again for your support. From what I've seen, the forum community seems very supportive and not at all pretentious. I respect and appreciate your ongoing contribution. |

You were right about Pog. Though if that were your only mistake you could have found the troll that was locked up and freed him and solved the quest, but you would have messed up a few other side quests that would get you Exp. Points that are needed to get to at least level 9 by end of game. That PDF is best bet with this game. Don't forget the patch if you haven't done it yet. Glad to help. Ask anything you need. And again, welcome to the RPGdot. We are the best IMHO.

HI! I'm onlevel 8 at the Dwarven mine. I'm being chased by that ugly bleck thing. I've managed to escape, but I can't jump to the exit at the lava lake. Are there any tricks, or the only solution is to keep trying? |

Were you just exploring or did you make the stuff ect. you were suppose to? To get to the teleporter look to the right and see there is a shute of some sorts sticking out of wall. Has a few items in it you can take. Jump up on it and them use levitate and float home. Welcome to RPGdot by the way.
