1. Right I want to get into the Tomb of Souls cause I can't seem to be able to do anything else got 4 out 5 relics don't know what else to do so went to Vale Of Ruins to put the blood on the Arc of Whatever so that I may see the messenger who apparently gives me the password to get into Tomb Of Souls ..........................Problem I go to the arc and it won't let me do anything I got the blood but I hit shift and nothing???????????

Can anyone help??

2. Altenatively How do I get the last relic , I went to Vartuggs Fort in Skulldoon, spoke to the dude in the barred window but he just says nothing left to trade and nothing else.........This is apparently how you go to get the last relic but I can't get the quest so am I screwed? Is it the worst bug ever and I have wasted my time. Can Anyone help ? How do I find the last relic?


Thanks in Advance to anyone that can point me in the right direction. Prefferably I'd like to get the Tomb Of Souls done before anything as it seems like a good bit. Mick The Wizard Level 36

Vartugg should have sent you to the Naga Temple to get a vial of Valdane's blood. After that, you should have returned to Vartugg, who then should have sent you to the Vale of Ruin to meet with the messenger. Did both of those things happen?

And are you sure you're at the unholy arc and not at the altar of the fire-rune?

Level 35? What a waste of time ...
I hope, You have not done, what I have done with my character!
Last week I´ve canceled a save with an level 58(!) Paladin/Battlemage.

In order to activate all Moongates for shorter ways, I used the backflip-trick at the gate in Skulldoon BEFORE I have talked to Lord Graemare (the father of Valdane) and Mara!
So I was not able to talk to Vartugg because he is behind the door on the right of the Trader in Vartuggs Fortress. This door only opens if you have talked to Mara.
Once at Forbidden Lands I cleared the Naga Temple and other Relic Areas....
So I have rescued Valdane, too - what a fault!
Now I owned the blood without the quest from Vartugg and Lord Graemare was no longer to find at Bolen Fields

Let it say shorter:
Without Lord Graemare no talk to Vartugg, without Vartuggs quest no blood can be placed to the unholy arc.

Solution?
I´ve read a thread in this Forum, I mean about Lord Graemare ist NOT at Bolen Fields (Fireplace with 3 or 4 houses with banners and some fire-tons arround - walk NNW at the end of the road to Bolen Fields). The solution was to go there and rest a while...then he will arrive, but I have never tested it when the quest is already done without any order from Vartugg....

I think, I should try it with my old save,too :rolleyes:

O no O no O no

Yup I couldn't get out of Skulldoon and tried backfliping over the wall DOH! Thought I was really smart at the time but I guess I just screwed up the game.

I might try that Bolean Fields thing but if I've saved the son what chance is there of him appearing ..................... 4 letter words come to mind

Fiddlesticks and Donkey Poo I think I'm screwed

EDIT ********************
I tested that Boolean Field s thing Doesn't Work so I guess I've screwed myself been everywhere can't get another quest. Can't get the Password to the Stone Council Can't Go On :(

Once Valdane is saved, Lord Graemare will disappear.

The letter of Alliance Proposal is given by Mara. If you have talked to Mara, you should be able to talk to Vartugg.

If you saved Valdane before talking to Graemere (and so, missed the chance to talk to Mara, which is the key to meet Vartugg, who is the key to get pass the Stoneheads), yes, your game is screwed. thightly.
