I am very confused. I can't seem to locate the old mine, even with the map. I have found a place that looks like it could be the mine, with a cage like door and ore that can be picked at with the ax. There is also a winch here, that I am assuming opens up this mine. Nothing happens when I turn it.

Can someone please tell me if this is the old mine and if it's not, where exactly is it? Thank you.

To reach the old mine, go out of the Old Camp front gate and go across the bridge.
Then turn left (west) and follow the path to the mine.

When I turn the winch, it is not opening the gate. I have even used the cheat code in marvin mode - ztrigger oldminegate

I am getting desperate. Will someone please help me get in the old mine? Yes, I have talked to Diego and already have the quest. It is the only thing I need to do to join the old camp.

The gate is not opening with the winch, even though it does turn.

When you first come to the old mine the gate should be open. You can always cheat to get past the gate. But use it only ass a lest solution

The console command works for everybody else, so I suspect you made a mistake.

The k cheat in marvin mode should also do the trick.

OK, here is what is happening.

I am definitely in marvin mode as I get the console when I press F2. I type in:
ztrigger oldminegate

The console says: ok, but nothing happens. The gate does not open. I then try putting in: k

The console says unknown command. I even use quotes in front of and behind on both of these and also without quotes. I get the same results.

The only thing I could possibly think of is that I came here at the beginning of the game and used the winch and possibly closed the gate. I don't think I did this though.

The marvin mode is working as I can walk over to the npc templars and put in kill and one of the npcs falls over.

Someone, please help. This is extremely frustrating. I just want to be able to get in the mine. What am I doing wrong? Please don't tell me I am going to have to start all over again.

Thank you.

What's wrong? For one thing, you shouldn't use the "marvin" code to get into the mine. If you even half-way follow the story line, then the mine is open to you.
What chapter are you in? What level are you? Did you ever get the "test of faith" quest? If you have already delivered the list, then the mine might be closed, (then there is no reason to go back in there). Are you even sure that you're at the Old Mine?

I am still in Chapter 1, level 9. Yes, I have the test of faith in my journal and no, I haven't been in there yet to get the list from Ian. As for being in the right place, I believe I am. There are two templars outside, a winch and some kind of weird machine for getting the secretion of the mine crawlers. There is a metal cage gate with piles of ore outside the gate that you can pickaxe. And yes, I have followed the story, just hadn't been able to get in there before.

Strange. Maybe the gate or the winch has to be in focus.

Donīt you have the FAQ?
K is no console command! Walk to the gate and press k. And if you sink in the ground press F8.

The winch is in focus. As for the teleport command, I tried typing in k and K and still no go, and I am standing by the gate.

Is it possible to send someone here a copy of my saved game and you could have a look at it and see what is the problem?

Thank you.

The file I sent put you inside the cave. If any problems, let me know.
