1. Portcullis Killing: It is better to kill salamanders with this trap, as when you kill thm you only get 8 exp, but with the trap 25 exp, with the bloodsippers it is either way, cause killing them you also get 25 exp.

2. Killing Lilith: Yes you can laugh a lot.... but later on the game the guy finds you... (He found me near Aridell) and you get to fight him and 3 other Mercenaries (a pretty good fight I must say) and get a lot of exp. regretably being a thief you would expect a great drop.

3. About the levers, there is another post around that has the exact combination.

4. Gems in the Cave: lots of them, suggestion get a Hawkeye ring (spot hidden+3) if you have enough money get two SH+6 and you will probably find all of them, I personally found 4 Big Gems (2 red ones 2 green ones) lots of the small ones, not sure if there is afixed number, or if it is randomly set.

5. 6 coffinsoutside the ossuary: no intention at all, just fun descriptions (some ones are pretty sad as well)

6. Some general gameplay suggestions on my behalf:

- Don't pay to get things identified, identification costs almost half the price of the object, and then you can sell it (if you have some skill in mercantile) for half the price +10 or 20% the most, so you don't earn almost anything, it is better to find or buy a Lore master ring and the identify evertytihng for free, and then sell every thing.
- Keep unidentified objects in safe places: such as the drawer in the room you sleep at Aridell, both drawers in Blackwater, cause if you carry everything with you... won't get very far...
- Some skills that are not very useful IMHO:
- Lore (you can get 2 Loremasters rings (lore+12 nothing can stand that)
- Mercantile (not preceptible diference in prices unless you get a very high skill, there is an amulet that gives you +3)
- Spot hidden, at the begginning helps you find important stuff that you can sell and get money, but besides that, and detecting traps (which you can do if you have 1 skill and move around a lot) it has no other use... (two rings +6)
- Dodge IMHO (I got this skill and put a lot into cause was playing an alchemist/fighter and sounded cool got an amulet +6, but in the end did not feel much difference as when I was not wearing the amulet)....
- Cartography, can be learned, there are sandals +3 an amulet + 2 but if you change them, then you forget what you had before on your map, a bit dull this is. and there are many levels 17 to max out, and as another post mentioned, differences are not very perceptible.
These are all IMHO

I can't think of any more suggestions right now.... but if I get anymore ideas I'll get back to this post.

I was wondering around a bit to the north, and all over sudden the guy appeared with his lackeys.... and it was a pretty god fight, cause he is not an ordinary thug.

I read Kreador foun him on his way to Vela, so maybe it is not predetermined

Unfortunately, you are confused.

That guy who appears north of Aridell (I think he is called "Vidar the Knife") isn't the one that gave you the quest to kill Lilith. That "Vidar the Knife" thug is another one, who doesn't appear anywhere else in the game.
If you want to find the shady character and his thugs, exit Blackwater and go north. Follow the mountains to the east until you get to an opening there. If you try to cross, you'll be ambushed. The opening is near the north-east corner of the map (Blackwater Region).

Easter Eggs: There are 3 easter eggs. Upon retrieving all 3, placing them in the candelabra thing in Shadowmirk will level you. For the record, sadly, I had to look up the "apple" part of that quest. I thought it was looking for the acorn, but I turned that in for the quest and I thought I may be out of luck.
