Time to spoil me

Post by Cymburghleigh »

I need direct answers to these questions, please.

1. Where is the Tanglewood ossuary? I have been all over the map trying to find it.
2. Where is the Underground Repository? I've been all over Blackwater and its surrounding area and I cannot figure out where it is.
3. How do you get into the gated area in the Goblin Stronghold?
4. When and how do you figure out to use the portal device north of Blackwater? I see a portal in the gated area in the Goblin Stronghold, but how does one connect it from the outside?
5. Where does one pick up the 'the Secret of Tranferrence Circuits"?

thanks for your assistance.

Found the Ossuary. How do I open the gate in the Northeast-most hallway( at 81, 68 ) ? I can see a spectre just beyond my field of vision in there.

Have you searched the rooms near the gate that you can't open? Have you talked to Lilith?

You have to come to the Blackwater side from below ground..search the Ossuary thoroughly. Also, did you read the letter you got from the very sick man to the south of Aridell before you gave it to the person in Darkwood? It gives you clues as to what ingredients to put in a certain persons alchemey workshop basement. That will get it activated. (the one in the desert by the Goblin Citadel)
5. Where does one pick up the 'the Secret of Tranferrence Circuits"?
You'll find it in the cemetary near, the one you get a key from a man after clearing out his basement. It's behind a secreal wall panel (walk thru it)

I've searched every room 10 times so far in the vicinity. Do you have coordinates?
I talked to Lilith way back when I did the quest for the Queen's stinger.

**********************************************************
I figured out the Goblin Stronghold--didn't see anything with 4 chests--I beat the Goblin boss and found the portal to the Spire.

Does anyone know where the Underground Repository is located in/or around Blackwater?

get into the house in blackwater with a dead body in it (near the gate that you can't open). take the note from the corpse, introduce yourself as 'fooozgumpgh' or something like that to the tavern owner in blackwater, go through the wall in the room you are taken to, and there you are!

No. I don't think that I am at that point just yet. At the coordinates I mentioned above ( 81, 68 )in the Goblin Fortress, there is a closed gate. What I want to know is where is the lever to open that gate.

I found the Underground Repository and got the Cruxt of Ages. Took it to Bastion Spire and deposited it in the device. Talked to the Chancellor. Read the full page description of what transpired and the game shuts down. Every time I restart and retry, it shuts downat that point. Is that the end of the game? Combien brusque!

I've been able to do all of the quests up to that point so far. I've got 2 of the 3 easter eggs (where is the 3rd?); I've got the Queen's stinger (had my conversation with Lilith and didn't kill her); I've done the pure water quest; I've got the acorn.

I dont remember there being a specter in the goblin fortress.I stopped playing,so maybe someone else will know the answer here.

Yes,thats the end.You can kill the chancellor and fight his guards for a much more dificult final battle though.

One egg is near the very begining of the game,on the second floor of one of the ruined buildings.The second oe is in the ossuary,behind the chest puzzle I mentioned earlier.The third one is outside the goblin fortress,in a hidden room in the forest.

Isn't it fairly obvious, or did you miss the credits and the "Thank you for playing Eschalon: Book I" message?
well, smarta$$, that message and the credits don't appear before it shut down, hence my asking the question.

Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it.
Someone has finally taken the time to write and post a walkthough, which I found at gamefaqs, so it answered a whole lot of questions I had about the game. I found it after I left this site.
