Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Act 1--HELP ME

Am I stupid? I've downloaed all the patches, even reinstalled. Still, I can't solve Edmund...can't find the bone in the cell next door, killed the rATS, DIDN'T HELP!

i'VE READ THERE's a chest in the corridor between the cell and Fergus with a BF key...Can't find that either!

And finally, I've blocked the wheel with the iron rod, now can't get into the right cell...What's the point of blocking the wheel???

Please help this dum dum!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

The rats aren't next door. They're on the opposite side of the square that forms the prison, in a cell. Try hittin the ALT key if you have trouble locating what you need after killing them.

You're no dum dum. The quest just doesn't make any sence. Or maybe it makes perfect sence and I'm the dum dum...

Nah... The quest is weird and illogical. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just saw that map thingie and it seems that the battlefield key is in that first chest, is this correct?? and the key to that chest is in the left spider cell...??

I can't get in the left spider cel ?? is this normal or can I enter it later on in the game... otherwise I'm [nocando].

I blicked that cogwheel before the 2nd spider came out.

***MINOR ACT 1 QUEST SPOILERS***
Yes, yes that chest behind a pillar of steam has the first Battlefield Key. There is a copy of it later, but getting in there early is helpful (especially if you're playing above Action difficulty.)

The key is in left room in the Arena in a haystack. Just carry the chest with you until you get there, drop it, and open it. Viola, instant battlefields goodness. Also, if you want some cheap skills I would refrain from solving the Edmond quest until you return from the Battlefields. He'll teach you two basic Wizard skills for 50G a piece. VERY nice.

If you are in the cell Fable described => go into the middle of it. A sentence of the DK (hating rats) will trigger the sequence. And then he says afterwards something about the bone.

Blocking the cells with a cogwheel is logical - if you're weak and want to avoide the poison damage, these spiders cause.

I did it like this => moved towards the left cell, picked up sword, spider came, killed it. Then I took out the key for the BF chest IN the haystack and the book UNDER it (needs a patient mouse search). Then I blocked the right cell with the cog wheel - just for fun.

If you have blocked first => both cells are locked - but as you will get a quest later on to get this book, you will find a key in the quest giver's room (use ALT) to unlock the left cell.
