The Vanish spell - new observations

[Radek]

1. The Boogre Prison entered through the backdoor. Your spells aren't reenabled by hearing S'Keser'Da. They are reenabled by activating "guarding... doh, guarding cage". See your map: the way from the cage begins with a "T" in the form ---| . Guarding... doh, guarding cage is the Boogre Grunt on the north branch of the ---| a few steps from the junction.
The only way of activating this Boogre Grunt available to you is killing it. Therefore:
a) Enter the Boogre Prison through the backdoor.
b) Continue to Guarding ... doh, guarding cage. Avoid S'Keser'Da. Kill the Boogre Grunt. Your spells start to work.
c) Do the rest.
Note: you must kill Guarding ... doh, guarding cage exactly. Killing another Boogre Grunt does not work.

2. The Tome of Winds. The shortest way to the tome:
a) Enter the Boogre Prison through the backdoor.
b) Kill Priskiella. This opens the way to S'Keser'Da, too.
c) Kill S'Keser'Da. Catch the tome and leave the Boogre Prison through the backdoor.
This can be helpful when the only thing you want in the prison is the tome. For example, when you collect tomes for your future Zenmaster.

3. Xydusa can be Vanished. The problem is, that she can vanish somewhere where you cannot find it [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] . I was forced to restart because I wanted the XPs and I was unable to find her after Vanishing her [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] .

4. Erathsmedor. You cannot reach Erathsmedor by Vanishing through the pass and entering Dragon Spire dungeon from behind. There are locked doors both on your way to the sword and to you way to Erathsmedor.

5. The Valeia Crypt. You can Vanish to the tomb area but do not do that. When you Vanish through the grate then:
a) The crystal disappears! Well, this can be solved by taking the crystal first and Vanishing then.
b) The Gold Key is missing! Without the key, you cannot enter the tombs. Thus, Vanishing to the tomb area is useless. Most probably, the Gold Key appears after triggering something on your way from the urns to the tomb area. There are many triggers on your way: the urns themselves, the narrator (several times), the lever at Scabban ... I don't know.

Yepp put this in the best tip thread Radek. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Too bad vanishing past the spire didn´t work. Would have saved some time.

Where do you find the back door to the Boogre prison?
Is it a vanish trick?

[Packrat]
