Finished with only 3 widgets?

Post by Jaymann »

I was able to complete the game with:
[+] SPOILER
The gear, the spring, and the bolt.
Can anyone please tell me what the 4th one is and where I might find it?

I believe the fourth you are looking for is
[+] SPOILER
on a crashed boat south of the Seawarden's guild. The piece looks like a fence.
I could be wrong, I don't really remember.

He's not wrong.
[+] SPOILER
It's called the titanium bracket widget
And technically, you can get through the Omentor temple with only:
[+] SPOILER
The gear and the bolt(? It might be the gear and the spring). The point being you only need two, I just don't remember which two specifically.

Guess I was wrong - but (assuming those are the four right locations), it's all cleared up now, so it's not a big deal anymore.

Thanks all. That explains it because I can't find the Akadai Underworld.

I went through the illusionary wall behind the chest. At the two-way gates I dropped a keg by the switch. Went through the gate then turned around and blasted the keg.

bypassing two widget-gates:
[+] SPOILER
there is a place where you can use a keg to remotely control a lever. This will bypass two widgets. This place is near to the corpses grave yard. You need to first pass through a fake wall next to the box for the glass diamond.

I never used the powder keg to bypass the lever by distance, I used it to demolish the gates themselves =)

Portcullises, in each of the three games, game be demolished by placing a powder keg under it when open, and triggering the lever that closes it.
Unless we're talking about different gates though, yes - they can be destroyed.

I doubt it's right as in Book 1 you can't pick the powder kegs. :-) But ok put it under the gate opened and close the gate that is the trick, thanks for the explanation.

You're right - I realized that shortly after I posted it, but didn't bother going back to edit my post as with the upcoming remake of Book I on the Book III engine, you will, and therefore will be able to use the same strategy. I do wonder though, if that's going to ruin any puzzles or barriers that were supposed to be impassible in Book I.
