Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Please Help! Is my game FUBAR?

Lo all.

I'm in the imp village in act 2. After having explored all the areas and still not getting any further in the story, I decided to check the walkthrough posted at the top of this forum (reluctantly). There it said that:

1: The alchemist could be found in a cave in the area east of the village. Just south-east of the beginning of this area there is an "entrance", which looks like som ruins. I think I found a key down there when i first went there, but there are no people there... Is that where the alchemist should be? I can't find him (nor have i found the wise sage, if he is to be found).

2: The walkthrough also said that when i procede further in to this area, I should get a cutscene asking me if i want to move a rock. I've never seen such a cutscene, nor have I moved any rock to uncover a dungeon (as the walkthrough said i should have done).

At the end of this area there are som teleporters. I got to the island with the key on it using the teleport pyramids. I've no idea what the key is for though...

Thanks for any help. I just want to know if I can finish the game now, or if something has gone wrong somewhere..

1.. The alchemist turns up after you got the quest "find the alchemist" from the chieftain's son. Do you have this quest? It's connected in a linear way to "cause of the plague"

2. Cut scene at the rock in the south part of the Fire Area comes after you have found the alchemist and got the quest "cure for the plague"

Here is a map link from Hellfighter => number 1 shows the alchemist cave in the Fire Area.

3. Key => it unlocks a chest in the spider area - SW bay. Nr 16 on the map Hellfighter made.

The alchemist is a part of the main plot line, and he will not appear in his cave until you've solved the previous parts of the main plot.
Same with the rock: the cut scene won't trigger until you've talked to the alchemist.

Thanks. That was good to know.

But how do i get the find the alchemist quest? I'm just wandering around wondering what to do...

Well, did you get the quest from the chieftain's son in the Imp Village? "Find the alchemist"?

Linearity goes like this:
You are on Citadel Prison, you free 2 imps and they show you the way over the lava.

After that you get a quest from the chieftain's son to find the "cause of the plague".
Speaking to imp Altoflix gives the solution - talk to the chieftain's son and report this. Then he will give you the new quest "find the alchemist".

Please, check your quest log.

Here, this is a picture of the Chieftain's son. He is SW of the Chieftain's house, the only imp with a hat. and 2 houses NW of the chieftain's house is the hut of imp Altoflix. The one giving the solution for the plague prob.

Seems like Altoflix must be the only imp I didn't talk to... uff. I remember looking for him after some other imp said he didn't get sick, but I didn't find him <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> silly me.

Thank you very much for your help. The alchemist is in his cave now...

Fearful question => have you been in the fire area and picked up a fruit and a root before getting the "find the alchemist" quest? Please... tell me you didn't? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
Kiya

If you did => drop fruit and root outside the alchemist cave before you speak to him. As I'm not sure if your boulder cut scene will come.

I had picked up the fruit, but the root was still out there. Everything worked out fine. Thanks for your concern though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm relieved <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> - have fun with the game Uther Pendragon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
