Fields of slaughter...

Post by Charlotte »

HI...

I've killed king Lothar and went to Archons boat to go to the fields of slaughter, but I don't get the option to go there. I've tried both from the embassy, amphitheather, the palace and the guardpost... What have i done wrong..... Anyone? A clue

:confused:

spoiler

Especially in the dragons eye, make a saved game (named save not quicksave) each time you go to a different map.

On the fourth level make a save each time you complete a day (spoiler below)
there is a time loop so you keep going back in time - like back to the future the movie.

This feature (blacked out above) makes the fourth level sort of confusing...
I don't like using a walkthrough but the whole dragon eye and especially the fourth level was such a pain in the buttox that I did. So my advice is to follow the walkthrough step by step like a cookbook.

With a walkthrough on board, named savegames each day, and quicksaves whenever you do something thats hard or takes time...you should be ok!

It was kind of cool to see what was going on between the various factions but my battle lust wasn't satisfied very well travelling around on a boat and listening to plots unfold.

walkthrough

Hi.

Thanks for helping. I have been using the walkthroug on this map (dragons eye lvl4) just to get it right. And in the walk through you are suppose to go to the fields of slaughter after you kill king Lothar, bu tI don't get that option from Archon.....That's the problem...... :confused:

have you got a save before that part of dragon's eye. i remember the first time i played i had so much trouble with bugs on the last level of dragon's eye it was ridiculous and made it impossible to continue. eventually it worked so it might work if you do that last level again.

maybe the walkthrough 'forgot' a step?

Try going to all the locations that Archon mentions (again). See if some other plot event can happen. Maybe that triggers the option to go to fields of slaughter? Chat with him all dialogue options and see what happens..

spoiler:
If he's charging too much gold I think you can trick him somehow with high bluff skill. {end of black text}

Did you kill him on the correct day? I suppose that if he was supposed to die on day x and you killed him on day y it could get things screwed up? but i don't remember even killing him...

hi....

I've tried all locations and cant bluff Archon anymore...
Maybe I didn't kill the king the right way. The walkthrough said to speak to him and he will attack, but I talked to him several times, but he didnt, so i charged him.....I think that's what i did wrong....

Sorry if you have to do dragon eye again!

I checked out the guide and jogged my memory. Anyhow the guide says that you first talk to Lothar in the embassy (he is unhappy). Later the guide says that you go to location 3 (gamebanshee walkthrough) and inspector venomin (or something) commits suicide. It says that nearby Lothar is lurking (so he's not at one of the islands but at the ring around the edge) part and he says something then attacks. Then you kill him.

It also says which day thats supposed to happen so make sure it is the right day too.
