Stuck in the Akadai Underground

I went back to the Akadai Underground to see if there was anything I missed and now I don't seem to be able to get out... the funny tentacle plant doesn't offer the option to leave the area. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I've just checked the script in the editor and it looks like you need a "Fetid Grubb Tumor" in your possession to trigger the exit, so if you have given all of those away and there no grubs left down there for you to kill then yes you are stuck unfortunately.
You would need to use the editor to either remove the condition from the exit plant or give yourself a tumour or drop in another grub for you to kill.

You need to have gotten the next item, but on my first visit, i hadn't received all the items i needed to enter the area. Thankfully i had saved it earlier and i knew what i needed so i went to tavern to buy the items. But when i went again, i recieved all the items anyway. Dont know if it was the same for you?

Oh no... how do I use the editor. I'm running on a Mac.

I'm still having a heck of a time making a native app build for Mac, so you'll have to do it the hard way. Get the source from
https://github.com/apocalyptech/eschalon_utils (use the Download ZIP button), and read the "INSTALLATION, OS X" section.

==========
EDITED:: Used Editor to add item and it worked. I got out. Thank god for the editor! Thank you whoever made this editor.
==========
I find this thread disturbing...
I am in Akadia underworld. I have been trying to figure out a way out of there but failed miserably. I had to look up the forum to find an answer so I can move on. I find this.
Editor is a solution? I assume Basilisk Wrangler wouldn't intend that to happen.. I am sure there is alternate way out? unless this is a truly bug or overlooked by BW, oopsy?
I am anxious to move on!

It's not a bug, exactly. The first time through, you just need to make sure
- [+] SPOILER
- you kill the grubs and have a tumor in inventory
. If you sell them and come back, you can get stuck, but I don't think that's a bug.

Not a bug, but a simple solution would have been to always have at one grub respawn.

Respawning monsters isn't a feature of the game engine, unfortunately. Maybe you could make the grubs be the camping encounter enemy for the map, though.

Or, as in Book I, have a statue, or some item you can interact with that spawns a monster.

Another would be to change the exit condition to needing to have the crux that you collect down there instead of the grub, I'd actually assumed this was the case until this thread was posted and I checked the script, although I know realise it does tell you that it's the grub when you use the exit.
That would mean you still need to have completed the area and solved the chest puzzle before you can get out but because you can't give away or put down the crux there would be no chance of becoming stuck on a return visit.
Only downside to that is slightly less realism as currently the plan takes liking to the grub (see's it as food I guess?) would that make quite as much since with the crux?

I am also stuck there. Do I need to pass through the gate with the 3 clams ? I found a red gem and a green gem, but there doesn't seem to be a white gem anywhere to make the 3rd clam close. Help !

- There's an Akadai archer in the western area of the underground who carries a white gem.

I had the same problems. I found the red and the green gem, but no white gem. All Akadais were killed. So I had to use an older savegame. Fortunately one Arkadai now dropped the white gem, so I could solve the riddle. Maybe this Area is a little bit buggy. It's good to have an old savegame here.
