Im having a little rookie problem over here and was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I asked this question earlier, but I think maybe I complicated it too much. I don't know how to use items that I have found. The four items for the four pipes, the hand, staff, ring and blood...what do I do with them...I mean do I left click on them, do put them on the ground in the right order...I have no clue...just like the power cell that you get for use in Irenicus's cell. Now I know that you can use it to power up some of the other cells that are lacking power, but I dont know how to use the item...do I click on it or have to put it somewhere? I was also wondering if you ever get back to that area later in the game...I left the dungeon and never finished the area as I am clueless and dont save too often...Any help would be very helpful...thanks

For the items concerned with the sewer pipes, you have to click the pipes in the right order. Simply having the items in your possession when doing so is enough, you don't have to do anything with the items themselves.

For the Power Cell, again you don't have to do anything with the thing itself. If you click on the "pods" with the Cell in your inventory, it is automatically used.

And no, if you exit Irenicus' Dungeon there is no way back. You can't access it later in the game.

The powercell part, you have no way of getting back to. Not deemed necessary to me.

For the sewer quest, what you need to do is have each member carry one part, then have each one stand in front of the pipes. Then here, you put your cursor on the pipes and it will turn into some circular arrows. Say you have minsc, Jah, Aerie and your player character each holding an object. Put minsc first in front of pipe one and others in place for pipe two and so on. Make sure minsc is highly to use him to turn --->"activate" the first pipe. Do this by double clickin on the pipe while minsc is highlighted. If you see a read explosion on the pipe then that part is correct. If he gets hit by a blue lightening bolt, it's wrong. Rearrange the order of your players until you get your reward. You get a really nice sword if a bit annoying heh.

FOr item usage, like spells and bottles, place the items you want to use in your inventory. We will continue on with Aerie. She can hold wands, spell scrolls, and potions. Once you have these things in her inventory slots right below her weapon area click out to get into the main part of the game. You now see the items in your bottom part of the screen in the inventory box. For the usage of the wand there, click it and select a target by bringing your cursor over whoever you want to use the wand on. Potions are "normally" self-consumed. Spell scrolls can be used by clicking it til it is highlighted in the red color and then using it by clicking on the target you want it used on.

There is also the bag that is a bit highlighted a pale white. If you have special rings with abilities, you access them thru here. Click this bag and check out what each member has to further offer.

Another thing, I suggest you use Q for quicksave often and more importantly than that, save progressive states under different save slots and name them accordingly. There will be MANY forks in the road and it seems like the route you are taking will cause you grief of not now then soon. SAVE OFTEN....and don't be shiesty =/ with using 20-30 different save slots for different areas and approaches.

I still have about 5-10 saved games where I can go back to one part to retry it for fun with a different method if I think there is something else I can acquire from it and if it's not too far back from where I am now. I know I missed out on killing the thief upstairs in the inn of the promenade. A heads-up and few different saves here wouldn't cause me to feel this way now.

G'luck, have fun, and hope this helps.

Actually I dont recall having to give each item to a different character, it doesnt matter who has them, all you have to do is go to the pipes with one character ( even if he is not the one holding the objects) and try to find the correct order.

I also have some questions about Irenicus' dungeon:

1.Which was the use of those 6 keys, I can't remember what they were called, but somethinng like "key to activate lightning wand", etc, there was lightning, fire, summoning(?), and others which Ive forgotten. I guessed that they were for disactivating a series of 6 simultaneous traps in a big hall near the exit, but I never figured out how.

2.About the pods that you activate with the power cell, was there any finality apart from talking to the creatures in the pods? one of them (the one in the far end of the room) says something about a statue, that you have to give it to him I think, and I know there was a statue, because I found it in one of the rooms in a cupboard, it was a gollem statue if Im not mistaken, but somehow it dissapeared and I never found out what it was for.

Thanks

In response to Elendil's question...

The pod people (hehe) are of really no concern, they dont do anything except add a little to the pot of hatred for Irenicus.

You are right, the keys are for the 6 traps at the end...to use the keys there should be a statue type thingie at the left part of the trap, there should be a little activate cursor when you put your cursor over it, then just L-click and its used, and you get the wand that associates with the trap [img]smile.gif[/img]

You dont have to give the items to different characters, but it makes it a bit easier to match them up in order.
The reward for this simple quest is great indeed.

There are two items you could be refering to.

the sewage golem (yuck) activation stone, which you give to the golem. but i think you refer to the Air Elemental Statue, which is used to open the foor to the Plane of Air, which leads to the flask-quest and a rather nice sword. if you have either of these items at the end of the dungeon, dump them. they cant be sold and have no other purpose.

You're right andrewas, I meant the air elemental statue, but forgot what it was called :D
So it was for doing the djinni quest then, the one who gives you sarevoks +2 sword? great, I wondered what the heck the statue was for, and didn't realise when I used it for that quest.
