Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Another list of questions

A couple of questions and suggestion requests:

1. I'm 28 lvl warrior, have cleaned the entire Rivertown map and did all the quests in Rivertown, Ars sewers and the town of Verdistis that I was able to find apart from the duke's murder (saving that for later), going to Verdistis sewers and areas mentioned below, and entering Stormfist. Where would you suggest to go next a)Dark forest b)Verdistis sewers c)entering Stormfist d) area around Verdistis (it seems there is one outside the town)?
2. Is there a quest linked to the small house with the ghost next to the Dwarven bread inn?
3. Is there a quest linked to the cave south of Romeo and Juliet's house (not the assassin one)?
4. Do you get the quest for treasure maps from somebody, or when you find the first one (it appeared after I found the first one)?

I'm not really asking for spoilers, just suugestions, since I'm trying to do it the logical way, i.e. get the quests assigned before I complete them. Should I go to Dark forest while I still have the pyramids, or go somewhere else? I never got any quests about Verdistis sewers, I just know that there is a lizzard teleport there, so I don't know whether I should go now or there will be some quests later. Also, I don't want to get somewhere too late, at a point when I won't be getting any experience for the kills (it's a sad day when you stop getting exp. for the orcs... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> ).
Thanks for your help & cheers......

edit: Oh yes, and
5.) I didn't kill the mage in the disappearing gems quest, he disappeared while I dealt with the thugs. Was that a mistake?

1. I was at about this point when I entered Stormfist castle, and did not have any problems with that part of the game. There is no area around Verdistis, at least that you are suppose to be able to get to. There is a way you can get outside (tossing a teleporter stone to the other side of the wall around the city entrance) and see locations from quests taken out of the game.

2. No, there is no quest.

3. The cave with the sword of chaos? No quest, just the sword, and maybe a spell book, IIRC.

4. After you find the first piece you can ask a couple people about it; I don't think it is mentioned before that.

After entering the castle and making your way through the next area, you get a quest to save Zandalor. Do so to get your teleporter stones back. You can go to the Dark Forest first if you wish, but that will not greatly shorten the time you are without the teleporter stones. I don't think there are any quests associated with the Verdistis sewers, though there are a couple interesting things to find.

5. You will meet him again, in the Dark Forest; you don't get a chance to attack him in your first meeting.

1. I would do Dark Forest next. I generally do EVERYTHING that I can before entering Stormfist.
2. My memory's fuzzy--don't know where you mean
3. If that's the one with lotsa spiders, no
4. Gotta find one first. Also, you can't get a piece from Mpenzak until you find another piece.
5. If memory serves me right, his name was Boratus. Don't worry, you will meet him again and get to finish him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />

1. I also entered Stormfist castle at this point.
More quests in Dark forest will be avilable after going to castle.

2. No quest.

3. The cave with lich in it?
No quest, just a royal sword and polymorth spell book. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

4. You get the quest when you open any treasure map.
And you'll get the quest to find the treasure cave once you collected all maps.

You'll get pyramids soon enough after going to Stormfist castle.

There's no real quest in Verdistis sewers, maybe part of the quest can be completed there, but there's lot of exp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

5. In the gem quest you just have to watch the cut scene to finish the quest.
It's normal Boratus escape.
One quest in Dark forest will be connected to him again, then you'll have the chanse to kill him.

Thanks to everybody for the replies. I cleaned out the sewers first, then went to Stormfist. I have a few more questions, if you don't mind. I have a couple of items that I don't know whether they are quest items or not. Namely I have:
1) Plate armour of B(somebody) Stormwalker
2) Scimitar of C(somebody)
3) a hand

There is one room at the north end of the first level of Iona's dungeon that I wasn't able to get into. I know what's inside, and I assume that I'll be able to enter it later, am I correct? And another thing is that there is one room at the south side of Verdistis sewers that I wasn't able to get into either. Is there something special about that room (don't tell me what it is, please), or did I just miss something?

no quest items afaik

They aren't quest items.
But they're unique, you'll find them in every game (but still random stats).

To open north room in Iona's dungeon, click on the candle south from the room:





To enter the room in Verdistis sewers, throw tel pyramid throu the south door (looks like door but you can't open it) and teleport inside.

There is something special in that room (in sewers), but only if your spirit resistance is too low.
Save before going in the room, just in case. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
