I know there are a thousand and six posts about this, but hear me out. I'm on the broken teleporter quest, and I'm *this close* to being able to finish it. I know I'm that close because I did it once before, accidentally, and easily, and had the teleporter fixed with the red gem (yes, from friendly mister elemental) in place before I even knew that Serrick would want me to fix it (the Raanar asked nicely first).
However, that was three days ago, and after fixing the teleporter I somehow neglected to save my game, and went off and got killed by a pack of crystal gargoyles. So today I fired up the game again, thinking it would be easy, and I'd just do again what I already did once.
Only I can't. I can't get anywhere near the teleporter or the Elemental this time. I've tried coming at it from every single direction, and I cannot find a path that doesn't trigger the "random" teleportation. I even tried being all smart and throwing my teleporter stone into the shroud where I knew the Earth Elemental would be. I threw it directly into a teleportation trigger (D'OH), so now I have the stone but I can't get back to the teleporter or, for that matter, the elemental.
So my question is, does anyone know a path to avoid the triggers? Are they always the same or am I stuck with some horrible combination of random that's making my life hell? I know it should be posslble, having done it before, but after TWO HOURS tonight trying to walk to that spot and trigering teleporters, I've had to physically restrain myself from punching my new monitor, and I am so angry and frustrated with this game that the less restrained parts of my imagination are HAPPILY commiting homicide on the creators.
I think I'm going to make a nice hot cup of tea and get the hell away from this game while I see if any of you kind souls can help. Thanks.
