what are the ingredients to the elixer

[Guest]

You seem very frustrated :Angry: Thankfully I am here to help. I normally wouldn't help, but since this game frustrated me I guess I can relate to how you feel. See if this will ease your pain. The ingredients are Dragon Tears, Liquid Light, Chimney Soot, and Black Ice. Let me know if this helps you at all.

[Guest]

yeah but he just tells me it would make a sludge or something almost like he wants more ingredients

[Guest]

can anyone help me ? i dont know what to do with those eye stones

[Guest]

You take the eyestones down into Dungeon Draxen. You shold find a giant head type thing. When you walk up to the counter just use the eyestones and you should get the Gem of Severance. Hope this helps

[Guest]

Maybe you should try entering the ingredients in the order they are in the almanac? The order in the almanac is dragon tears, chimney soot, black ice, liquid light. After you tell him liquid light he should tell you that you have to get it in a special glass jar. Has he told you this? Once he does you need to find Alexsis, who will make the jar for you. Then you need to find the liquid light, it is in the Forgotten Pits (I think)

you dont really need the Elixer, my character (scholar) was tough enough not to need it at the end...

I had the problem with the saturnium rock and the balloon too years ago (hence me only finishing the game recently

you do indeed need the key from one of the nobles to wind a clock in keep Ironthead (and make sure it's a regular clock not a magic one)


*spoilers*

Other tips: make sure you talk to everyone while you have the monster ear (you might have to go back or even start again to get it) and consider the clock...

can anyone help me i'm stuck in ironthread is there a trick to finding a way through the maze i've looked at that lapiths site but it doesnt take me all the way

[Skateypunk]

I dont know if any1 has posted this yet or not but anyway heres a good way to cheat. when ur in battle with a strong monster save (Alt+S) then restore your game (Alt+R) and when u restore u will get two moves instead of 1 so u hit the monster once and then save and restore hit the monster again then save and restore and keep repeating yeah it takes a while but good if ur low on health

[Guest]

What exactly is the deal with the balloon and the saturnium rock.... do I need to use anything else with them?

[Xit (cant register)]

the lapithes site guide should take you most of the way if not all of it, I didn't actually use it so I'm not sure but you can use trial and error from wherever it leaves you, shouldn't take too long

that is a good tip Skateypunk, a much quicker way than endlessly reloading and hoping the monster will miss you enough times for you to escape

and the balloon and saturnium rock - you can put the rock in the balloon when you have both things but you must hang onto it. If you use the Lapithes help site map http://www.geocities.com/lapithes/lysandiamap.html you can leave the balloon and rock near the point marked Sterling Summit (near the north west coast) and it'll become useful later.

One thing worth remembering is that excelsior will freely let you screw things up so you cant complete the game later, just fortunatelty there's not too many ways to screw it up
