The Drunken Lizard Pub

I've been playing this great game since Friday, and I've got a fair distance but I've got some questions.

1.

[+] SPOILER

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.

2.

[+] SPOILER

SE of the geomarker for Elderoak Forest there's a secret path that leads around the river to a small clearing with a lever. What's that lever for?

3.

[+] SPOILER

In Moonrise there's a graveyard with a gravestone that turns and opens something but I can't work out what.

4.

[+] SPOILER

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

1.

[+] SPOILER

The lever is supposed to open the center of the gate when the keg explodes. It's never failed me.

2.

[+] SPOILER

It opens a portcullis on the other side of the river.

3.

[+] SPOILER

It opens the route to the Baptism of Fire for those that can't find/use a Sigil of Fire and/or locate the Ranger's Grove.

[+] SPOILER

4.

[+] SPOILER

The Titanium Widget is aboard the Shipwreck.

The geo marker that you missed is either on the north side of the river in Elderoak Forest or by the Ruined Castle.

[+] SPOILER

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? :-/

2.

[+] SPOILER

Huh. I can't see how to get across the river in Elderoak Forest. Unless it's through the Witch's Lair, which, of course, I can't manage now.

3. Thank you. I thought it might have been something like that.

4.

[+] SPOILER

I didn't know that was boardable. Okay, great. Thank you!

1. and 2.

[+] SPOILER

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.

1/2.

[+] SPOILER

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

It is possible to unlearn spells now, If I'm not mistaken by selecting a spell and pressing Delete key.

Huh. Nifty. Thank you.

Still debating what to do about the other problem. I guess I'll just have to start over. Sigh. Which is not a prospect I relish, I have to admit.

You might get lucky and get the scroll with Old Moonrise and Moonrise being the places I usually see it. Sometimes Gilda, but not as often.

My question:

[+] SPOILER

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?

It's randomly generated in each game and

[+] SPOILER

you need a certain spell to see it.

Actually, I managed to pick the lock of that door! With my Pick Locks of 4 and Concentration of 27, on about the 8th or 9th try it popped open.

[+] SPOILER

This is what I originally thought, but it turns out, if it's day and not raining, you don't need the spell at all.

I must be missing something obvious.

[+] SPOILER

What spell? I tried Cats Eyes and Predator Sight. I don't see another spell that would affect the appearance of the environment...

[+] SPOILER

The spell with reveal in its name

Bad pun BW

Ahhh! Thanks!
