I posted this cry for help in another part of the forum--sorry to repeat myself.

I'm in the tavern area of the first mine and no way out. Did I miss something? (obviously)

Is there a walkthrough for this?

Thanks and Happy New Year.

Hi, as far as I can remember search for a passage NOT inside the tavern, but outside. Hope this helps you (taken from Wiki)
'You pass through an area with an abandoned inn and some more Trolls. Go down a hole by a corpse this takes you to an area which contains a burning man (and the first of 100 Magic Symbols), then an area with some young Trolls which leads to a bridge. '

Happy new year and good luck!

I replied in the other thread as well, but incase you don't read it, walkthrough is here - http://perfectworlds.wordpress.com/2010 ... h-version/ just click yourself further to the pdf.

Happy new year!

Daniel: I tried the link but could download only the first four preliminary pages. Too many pdf pictures, overloaded my machine?

Kassandra: I remember the corpse and hole--I'll try that.

Thank you people!

Weird, mine hung up as well, tried three times, that's weird. Try right click the link to the pdf, pick the option "save as" and just name it Nehrim walkthrough or something and you'll have the file, without having to open it in firefox - making it not hang up.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the help--I got through and out going down the hole by the corpse--there was no icon indication to go there.
And I got the walkthrough--not very detailed--took 1 1/2 hours to download.

But now I'm stuck trying to close up the rats--I can't see where the holes are or
what shape they are, and pushing blocks makes them go at random. Very hard.
And this quest can't be avoided or cheated?

[arvisrend]

You should use the "grab" key for the stones, not push them around with your feet. That shouldn't be too random.
The holes have some hay in them and they are usually the places where the rats come out.

It's the best walkthrough I managed to find so far on the interwebs, it helped me a little, but yeah. I had no idea it would take 1½h to dl, mine took some minutes tops I hope you managed that rat mission now atleast, it's easy when you do like arvisrend said. Think about the shapes of the holes and stones btw, all stones don't fit in all holes.

[Prone14]

I would much appreciate a mini-map showing where the holes are and what shape.
How many are there? I have found only two blocks so far--would be good if I could pick them up and place them as needed. And I get killed by the rats before I can explore very far.
Is there a god mode on the oblivion cheats?

[arvisrend]

Use the "grab" key. Note also that you have a healing spell, and you can also retreat if things are dire.

[kassandra]

Sorry don't have the map as I don' have any save in that part of the game.
But I do remember that all the stones are in the VERY SAME room with the holes. And all the holes are only in this one room infested with rats (may sound obvious, but when I first did this quest I tried to find more holes in other parts of the mine;p ) And the stones were placed close to the holes.
Just try throwing the blocks into the holes. When it fits, you won't be able to move the stone.
There should be 3-4 stones in total, as far as I can recall.
Good luck !

i recall 3 stones myself. as for the stones only fitting where they're suppose to go, i heard that the smaller stones can fit into the bigger hole, leaving you stuck if that happened. didn't happen to me so i can't confirm it.

[arvisrend]

This can't happen, logically, except the engine bugs. (We have some reports of the engine bugging, however.)

OK I bricked up the rats--by sheer accident. I had to use the tgm/god cheat to stay alive. The bricks go in the top and bottom niches of that final room, plus one at the N W corrner. The z key was hard to use because I kept hitting the ceiling, and the rats pushed the bricks out of my way--I think they pushed the bricks in by accident.

Now, after getting the soap for the guy, I go to the guard for "tasks" but he is angry and only shoos me away. So I can't proceed. What went wrong?

[arvisrend]

Did you talk to everybody in the mine before talking to the angry guard?

Also, what do you mean by "hitting the ceiling"? Custom race?

[kassandra]

After receiving the reward from Karrick (the one with the helmet problem) you should speak to Merre in the mine. He will state that he has no more quests, you should ask Mortem (the guard) now and he should mention a problem with the gate.

[Prone14]

I spoke to Porim, then I had the quest from the guard to the other mine section.
There was another magic symbol in there.

Now at the abbey, quest to the Clatter cave: I can't see the goblin I'm supposed to target, and I can't seem to hit the door lock. So I might go to the boar quest instead.

The game seem to swing from King's Quest simplicity to impossible. Does the difficulty slider have much effect? In the rat cave the rats were under my feet, preventing movement. I would try to jump over them but seemed to hit the ceiling?

[himmelslicht]

The difficulty slider has at most 100% effect, i dunno how much exactly. Its been weakened a lot.
You can only change to the boar quest, if you got a savegame before accepting the goblin quest.
About the door: you need to hit exactly the lock, not just the door, so you need to take a little aim.

[arvisrend]

@Rats: I'll see whether I can fix this. Thanks for explaining the bug.

@Game difficulty: There is a nice training ground for levels 4-5. It's somewhat hidden though.

Go from the Abbey to the Faldrin fortress, and turn left just before the fortress.
