I'm a Templar in good standing.
Al-Sedexus is still alive.
I am carrying all three artifacts.
Umpani & T'rang quests are completed up to, but not including the final quests.
The Away Camp is still the Wilderness Clearing.
I've tried it after killing Al-Sedexus with or without the Templars spawning, still the Wilderness Clearing.
Am I missing something?
Thankyou.

hi jarak - i'm not sure i understand your question. are you saying that you enter the area and nothing is there? or that when you go to enter the name says "wilderness clearing" regardless of the point in the plot you've reached?

as i recall, the wilderness clearing is called that regardless of the point in the game. the away camp only becomes apparent after you enter.

if the away camp is not there (and i've never run across this), the only thing i can think of is that i recall ferro saying something like "the king wants to see you..." - does that need to happen before the away camp appears?

yes, you must talk to Ferro and make him mention about the king. Then the away rapax camp will appear.

Talking to Ferro can't be the problem. I sometimes did the Away Camp before the Rapax areas.

Doh!!

Thankyou.

How is this possible then??? I go there and its the Wilderness clearing that you can explore before the camp arrives.

Also, the Saddok T'rang mentions that he saw a large group of rapax ammassing an army.

I've just done it for the first time yesterday. To my understanding you must only have 2 of the 3 final items when you go in there. I didn't ask anybody about anything, so that's not a factor.

I don't know what you mean by this?

I grabbed Drazic and Rodan, set a teleporter and teleportrd out. I spoke to both leaders, blew up the savants' ship then teleporter back to kill the king. I think I was supposed to kill the prince too but he just fades away so I'm not worried about it. Now I'm going to the Don for item number 3.

I don't even think your Templar status matters. It just means a lot of fighting when you get in there if you're not.

For me, it always was Rarax Away Camp when i carried 2 of the artifacts with me.

Last time, i went to the clearing, set a portal, went back to Arnika to get the orbs out of the chest, and teleported back - right into the middle of the Rapax.
Speeds up the fight when you use spells that affect all enemies in sight.
