Glowstones in Collasium

[Dr.Pick]

I thought this problem had been addressed before, but I've been unable to find it here.

I only found one Glowstone in one of the five chests I've been able to get to so far, and Sarellia never gave me one, so I only have one glowstone which is insufficient to access the other areas outside the Spinning Room. I also tried to trade with Sarellia and the Mermaids to no avail.

What to do? What to do???

Dr. Pick,

You might try reloading from a save before entering Collasium (that has worked for me), or I can hack you a glowstone or two if you e-mail me your saved game.

Hi Dr. Pick!

You can also try talking to Sarellia again - she might give you one then.

P.S. Yay, Xignal!!!
Hacking at the speed of byte!

You can get the glowstone from Sarellia by talking or if you can't be bothered in talking, then you can pickpocket her (assuming you have a level 7 or higher).

The third glowstone is only available once you have gone past the mother of crabs, later in the game...

Good luck.

Ha, ha, ha! Call me a purist, or a fool if you will, but I only do one save game per group of characters. It's simpler, and I'm an advocate of "Let it be" philosophy (tip o' the hat to the Beatles).

Thanks folks. I knew I could count on you. They spoke ad nauseum to Sarellia, but they didn't try to pick it from her yet. This is my evil test group, so they'll try that next. If that doesn't work, they'll just have to whack her and her aquatic comrades in a second to last ditch effort. If that works NOT, then it looks like I'll be giving our buddy Zignal a ring! Thanks for the offer Zig, ol' buddy! You may be hearing from me soon (assuming I can manage to email my save game correctly).

I just checked my post for this same problem at the VN Boards, and my dear friend LB suggested using a chest to block the doorway of the 1st area of the Rotating Room so I can use the 1st Glowstone for access to the next area! Isn't that CLEVER? (Dr.Pick claps his hands gleefully)

Just so you know. They solved the Glowstone problem, but they couldn't do it LB's way, though they sure did try! The problem was the chest was too high with the legs an' all, and the one without legs wouldn't budge(grumble, growl). With the leggy one, it stretched across the doorway, and if you've ever moved a chest in the Gael Serran, you know that they maintain geosynchronous position and can't be turned! when they tried to go back through the doorway, they would push the chest out of the way and then be stuck in that part of the dungeon. Thank God for the Savegame Spell!

They ended up asking Mike, the Ratling, to pick Serellia's... er... umm...pockets (blush) with only level 4 pickpocket. He got it from her though, but because she was holding out on them (but they would anyway, 'cause they're evil) they whacked her AND her friends!

Thanks again to everyone for their help. Hope you enjoyed this little tail.

Heloo Again.

I encountered the same problem u did. And I solved it by usinfg chests!

The trick is to use 3 chests for gaining acces:

Example.

a) Get three chests in the rotating room.
b) Use The Glowstone to open the first door (I think it was West)
c) Use the first chest to Stop the room rotating when the passage to
the western area/lock is "100%" opened. (by placing it near the
wall (from inside)
d) block it (West-Door) by using the second chest. MOVE FORWARD!!!

----------------------------------------------------

SAVE!!! If U place the chest a bit to close to the rotating room it might stop and U are trapped.!!!!

pull the "stopper Chest" back to get the room rotating again.

Get the Glowstone from the eastern Lock.

----------------------------------------------------

e) You are still INSIDE the rotating room!

Stop the room as you did before by using your "stopperChest".
Grab the third Chest and MOVE BACKWARDS!!! , through the western
passage (pushing chest nr2 away and RELEASE whe 3rd chest blocks
the door.

NOW get the Tablet.

f) place the Glowstine in the western Lock to open the next passage.

REAPEAT what U did before:

g) Grab th chest that doesnt block the door.MOVE BACKWARDS!!!! pushing the chest that blocks the door inside the Rotating Room. Leaving the "equipped one" as soon as it blocks the door.

and so on.......

-----------------------
enter the last passage with one Glowstone in your pocket!!!!!!!
You will need it!

I Hope, this helps some of U [img]smile.gif[/img]
