I can't work out how to get past the gates in the Lair of the Witch in Elderoak Forest. I've been down there several times. I saw a lever beyond some gates that I could shoot through, and a barrel of explosive next to the lever: I shot the barrel, it blew up, but nothing happened.
I've found 3 widgets, but not the titanium one mentioned on the paper in the Seawardens' haven. I've combed the world thoroughly (and even now I'm missing a quicktravel entry between Mirkland and Macross Point) but I can't find any other dungeons I've missed.
I really don't like asking for help: I love trying to work out these things in games as for me it's part of the fun! But I'm getting a bit frustrated and so I thought I'd ask. There's a lot more things I could ask about but that might spoil things too much
Well, I'm stuck, because the keg's gone and I can't get through. Short of killing this character, starting again and doing a lot of replaying, I don't know what to do. I think the problem may have been a skeleton between the keg and the lever: I remember there being one there, but I can't remember where it was standing. But still: how do I proceed through there now, without wasting 20 hours of playing time? :-/
The alternative is to fight the long hard way up the eastern coast from Deadman's Strand which you did and head inland from Macross Point with more fighting. However you will need to find a way through a highly locked door with a high combined dexterity and pick locks or lockmelt spell since you won't have the key.
I'm my way through Valley of the Wanderer right now. I wonder if the problem with the keg in the Witch's Lair is something other people have had? Maybe it might be worth coding in a backup/failsafe just in case the same happens again?... As for locks with much Dex and Pick Lock, I haven't seen a scroll of lock melt and the game just told me I can't learn any new spells, and I'm 15K XP away from another level... o_O
Has anyone figured out the four digit combination to open the gate to "Wizardtorium and Magic Crafter's Hostel" and would be willing to share the info?
