Big problem please help!!!

Post by Monstrum »

Hi all.I have a big problem.I'm now completing Arcanum for the 5th time and I have problems with Ancient Gods quest.Well I completed almost every quest in game and now it's time for offerings but I saved only 1 lava rock and I can't find another one anywhere, I tryed everywhere, BMC mines, Wheel clan mines, every sewer in Tarant and Caladon and nothing, please help, can I buy lava rock somewhere, does someone in the game have one in their possesion so I can pickpocket him.Oh my God what to do, what to do?

Yeah, those lava rocks ate my nerves like nothing else. That's why I always keep at least 2 of them in my inventory. :D
As you may have noticed, the locations with lava rocks are quite scarce. Have you tried looking in The Dredge? Also, make sure to check all the containers, lava rocks can sometimes be found there.
What do you want?
- A donut.

Yes I looked everywhere, BMC (Dredge, mines with spider, every character (pickpocket)), every dwarf clan, every container, trashbin, sewer, nothing.I spent 2 days, whole days, trying to find one lousy lava rock and nothing.I don't know maybe someone has it on him, some dwarf somewhere or I don't know I'm going pretty mad right now.

Doesn't a merchant at that dwarf clan stock them? Might I suggest making a storehouse in your future games where you store a about 3 or 4 of every gem? There are a few hidden encounters where one can find lava rocks if I'm not mistaken, unfortunately I'm don't remember specifics sorry :(

I encountered a similar problem except I had the almost game breaking problem of not having any kathorn crystals available to me anymore.

I have storehouse (Liam's workshop), I use bookshelf for books and notes, footlocker for various things (blue bunny :) , mythril, some guns etc.), safe for valuables (gems, rings, necklaces, offering items) but I stored only 1 lava rock, I usually store 2 of everything (like Noa :) ) I just don't know how did I miss that.And dwarf merchant doesn't have lava rocks, or my version of game is bugged I don't know.

Well....

...you could use a hex editor to modify your save game and add it to your inventory. The code for a lava rock is 15184.
