Lilarcor - SPOILER

I`m stuck on this quest. I have the four items and lined them up correctly, but nothing seems to happen.
Can someone please tell me the method is to get the sword?
Thank you.

You must pick up the riddle ingredients and use them in the proper order, or you'll receive a lightining bolt. Its very easier, they're related to some masterpiece poetry puzzle on the pipes. Just click the pipes (near the old guy, to the north) and click on the pipes on the correct order.

Unfortunately that`s the problem. I have the items lined up in front of the pipes and nothing happens. No bolts of lightening - just the riddle coming up on screen.
How do I let the thing know that the items are on the ground?

Keep them items in your inventory, click the pipes, lilly on your pocket

(You know, my last owner always said I was sharp and edgy. He was such and... owner

)

You don't need to place the items on the floor at all, just keep them in your inventory, Doubleclick on the pipes in the right order.

And save before you do, as indicated above, so your party doesn't get a massive electric shock. It can be quite annoyiing in all that water.

Experience, its a +3 weapon, easy to reach, it talks, it protects you from a few mind spells.

Does 1D10 +3 damage, gives a +3 bonus to THAC0. Not bad for a two-hander in SoA.

It also has banter (read: it will talk randomly), which just spices up the fact that it is a stronger weapon than just about anything else that early in the game.

Funny banter, too. Lilacor reacts to killing much like a drug addict reacts to a fix. There's that same wide-eyed insanity, along with withdrawal symptoms if no killing is quickly provided.

There's a mod out there that makes Lilacor an uber-weapon, if you're interested in that. Frankly, I'm not, given the sheer number of excellent items you can find or upgrade throughout the game. But just FYI.

Re: Funny banter

Fable's 110% correct. Liarcor is great- it's one of those things that makes BG2 so much better than most other RPGs. The sword acts like another character, albeit a character of limited scope.

If you've never used Liarcor, you are missing out on one of those little things that makes BG2 great.

I like when it tries to goad you into killing people standing nearby.
