Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Need to know if I am doing this the right way.

Hi all

I hope I dont reveal a spoiler for newer players....

This is my first post, have been playing DD SOLID for about two weeks now, er I'm hooked.

I am a methodical player and have done all of the first map, (before going to forest and Verdistis) (still havent gone for an audience with Janus - leaving that for a while, and havent got into the graveyard yet)and have just got to the sewer pipe to go to Verdistis sewers when I thought of something. Hmm.

I have solved most of the poisoning quest and went and picked the lock and sneaked into Dr Elraths house and got down into his cellar.

Now...

Can I teleport out of there or do I have to go up and talk to him? Either way, Commander Ralph is locked in his office and I can't get to report him, and I can ask the guards if I can report a felony but can't do anything about it, if I lockpick door I get arrested, now am I doing this the right way or am I missing something?

I still have the other maps to do, deliberately havent gone on to them yet, but do I need to do stuff from there before I can go any further, also I don't want to miss out anything?

Hope you can help as I have three different saves on hold right this very minute taking me one way or the other.

Thanks

taking it zone by zone is how I did it and a less confusing one. Dont remember on Elrath to be honest but you can download the walkthrough by locusinn.
(locusinn.com) It will tell you what, where and when if you get stuck. Refer to it only when you need to. Most quest info requiring you to go to other places will generally be told to you. (some exceptions, like the poisoning quest. You dont know where to go but eventually you come across it.) Good luck and welcome to the forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You have to go out of the dungeon (house of elrath) and talk to him (he'll appear at the door, dont forget the letter!!). You wil have to report it to Cmd Ralph.

There is a fix when you pist him off.

check this thread for the fix.

Oooh ta Reptile for the quick reply, good to know I am not the only one who takes it section by section in case I miss anything. I have little blue flags all over map reminding me which bits I need to go back to or what I havent managed to find out yet. (sigh... sad I know). Have also found out to my favour that even if you think you have talked to people as much as you can, there is still stuff to find out if you go pay em another visit.

I will only download the walkthrough if I absolutely need it, I hate to find out stuff before I need to, which is why I tried not to go thru all the stuff on forum in case I found out stuff I didnt want to.

Meanwhile I will go by the save where I confront him and he says I will regret it, and I say see you in prison.. I then get set upon next time I teleport anywhere. I will still keep save where I have teleported out and he doesnt know I have been in cellar, so I can keep my options open. It will prob soon be clear anyway.

I will keep coming back every 10 mins or so to see if anyone else can help me with options.

Thanks again.

Hi JolieKiller

Yes I have the letter, and I confronted Dr Elrath (in one of my saves - I have it either them either way just in case) and then I went to Commander Ralph via the teleporter, (got set upon by thieves which is obviously triggered by my meeting with Dr Elrath). But, Commander Ralph was behind the locked door and when I spoke to people they just talked to me normally, even though they told me who to report a felony too - these were the guards guarding the door to Commander Ralph. I have mucked up the quest somehow or am I not supposed to be able to report him yet?

Cheers

Normaly you should be able to telll him that anytime. But if he is locked in his office try the link i posted to fix it.

Yeah I just read the fix

I'll try picking the lock and leaving door open, see if that works, if not I'll try the teleporter trick

I've only forgotten to pick up my pyramid twice (boy was it like searching for a needle in a haystack) now.. its the first thing I check, even to the detriment of getting myself ambushed occasionally.

Thanks for the help guys... I'm back to saving the world....
