Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Help on several small quests

hi everyone, really appreciate the help i get here.

1. merchant in ars magicana w/ lost wagon. he gave me the wheel, then i brought it to the wagon, found the dead ppl, gave merchant the news. then he says he wants news on his wares?

2. cabin w/o a door, near the cave where the robbers were. how do i get in?

3. a guard told me about them wanting to catch the arms dealer? the one who sells the weapons in ars magicana.

4. how long do i have to wait for the animation in the cathedral. i see the lich hit the monk, but i think my game hangs after that scene... i can click and escape so that i can reload. i've tried 3 times, same result. it appears to have stopped, should i just wait it out?

that's it for now...i'll be off to solve the castle quests...then i'll be back to solve these samller ones.

Thanks for a wonderful forum! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Did you found the dead people or you found only the carrage broken? If not, you need to follow the blood trails. Once you arrive, you see a track of coins. Follow them but be advised: equipp yourself well or drop a teleporter stone in a safe place before venturing forth... If you are low level, of course.

East from that cabin there's a hollow treestump. Click on it.

It's related to the first question. Just follow the coins :0).

Hmm... Looks like a bug. Better wait for Raze :0).
Good luck!

i found the dead people, then killed of all the orcs. i'm kinda in the high 30's..i think i got 2 games running ( had to re-play one.. i got stuck in elrath's house in the other saved game)

Orc have nothing to do with it :0).
Just follow the coin trail and be prepared for gifts :0).

i think i already got the coins and all..what should i be looking out for?

A cave at the eastern part of the forest.

yeah..the one with thieves? i killed the 2 thieves already.

Take and read the note on the table.

and make sure you buy anything you need from Tingalf, u won't see him again, for a loooong time (a.k.a. never)

Unless of course you don't complete the quest the correct way and then he'll aleays be in town. I know b/c I screwed it up. But on the bright side, he always has lockpicks and my warrior/thief always needs lock picks.

I always pick pocket him! damn thats alot of stuff u get, and the rivertown armory guy? like 20k gold every time!

Well, in my game I slaughtered everyone in the marketplace except for Tingalf, Geoff and that guy in general store. TINGALF LIVES!

"i see the lich hit the monk, but i think my game hangs after that scene... i can click and escape so that i can reload. i've tried 3 times, same result. it appears to have stopped, should i just wait it out?"

I don't think the delay should be that long; the monk should run away, leaving you to clear the church. It sounds like a problem with the cut scene. Try running the configuration program and switching to software mode, and maybe lower the resolution, until you get past that point. If that doesn't help, you could try re-installing the game and patch.

Zip or otherwise backup your saved games folder to another location first, just in case. Then un-install, re-boot, shut down all non essential programs (especially anti-virus), re-install the game, perhaps start the game and quit, re-boot, shut down all non essential programs, install the patch, re-boot, shut down all non essential programs, start the game. This procedure is a bit over-cautious, but the best way to avoid install problems.

ew, I did that, cept I killed Geoff too, then relized I accidently killed him, I reverted to before my renagade troop killing of the town, whats fu, is murdering the whole dwarvin halls, ever done that? its tough, but fun!
