Still looking for the
ring of the Wood nymph as well.
For the
fire-ring : go to your
start point in this mission and investigate in the
locked area.
To open the gate : check
Dr. Floyds room for a tiny switch near the windowsI'm also desperately hunting those rings, apparently moving elsewhere since the previous version - would anyone make a list?
I found the knife, but in spite of the proper "objective completed" message the item still remains unchecked in the final objective list. Has anybody else experienced this?

Hmmm... that's odd. For me the 'Knife' objective checked of ok.
I completely omitted the previous version of the mission, so I do not know when the quests for the rings were added.
I found 3/4 Rings. I might be mixing up the names, though. If so, then I am sorry.
1. Air-Ring :
- Wood-nymph areaSpoiler :
where the tree-beasts are patroulling2. Water-Ring :
- Fire-templeSpoiler :
once you get past the exit-gate of the temple and past the haunt at the bottom, check the sarcophagy3. Fire-Ring :
- Start point, past locked gateSpoiler :
check at Dr.Floyd's place for a switch that opens the gate4. Wood-Ring : location is still UNKNOWN

Thanks a bunch, gnartsch!
The rings appeared in version 2 (variably labelled 2.01, 2.1, etc) and there I found
the Wood ring next to the Wood nymph garden - before teleporting to her realm - behind the rubbles left to the small guard tower.Edit: found #1 and #3, but
nothing in the entire hall with the openable sarcophagi past the Fire Temple exit route. I've searched every square inch (or square centimeter!), inside and around. Could you be more specific?Florian on 24/11/2012 at 19:00

The only ring which I have found that didn´t count as objective was in Havocks House - hope this was not the actual wood-Ring ;)

behind the first sarcophagy, right after the haunt ??

I don't think so. That is the only ring that did exist in the very first version of the mission already. I found it in my old notes.

It's quite certainly not there.
Perhaps it was a bad idea to kill that haunt - could its dead body pull it down under while it sank into the floor?BTW, can you open the chest in the King's bedroom (in his Last House)? I can't:eek:; each time I finish the lockpicking the floor disappears and I free-fall to the frozen lake, to my inevitable death... :confused:

Yeah, since the very first version already there are a couple of areas in the entire map where things & bodies can simply disappear into the ground. :cheeky:
So... it would be possible that the haunt took it down as he was falling throught the ground, I guess.
I am damn sure the ring was
in or behind the first sarcophagus right after the haunt guarding the locked gate.
As for the chest in the Kings room : yes, once you start picking the lock you get suck into the floor a bit - and you will fall through the bottom of the map once you are done lockpicking.
I got the loot anyway :
when the lockpicking is done, jump forward immediately and you are safe.

I seem to be stuck early in the mission.
The last switch I used (that "advanced" me in the mission) was to the rich part of the city, where archers are on high platforms.
Where is the key or switch to Havock's last house?
Other places I currently can't access:
* The doors to a circular room north of Havock's last house, south of the interior area with the sleeping man and a woman by a fireplace.
* Havock's final resting place.
* Wood nymph's fountain
* Fire goddess' fountain
Hints welcome! (I'm playing v3.03 of the mission.)

If my notes are correct, then you should find a key near the gate that leads to the Kings last house.
Not sure if you have played this mission before, so here a general hint:
switches, keys and the places related to them are randomly distributed over the entire map
and finding one thing gives you access to another unaccessible area. :cheeky:

The key opened the circular room which led to more keys and switches which led to Havock's tower.Now, I'm in the Wood-Nymph realm, in the
cloister of Auximes.
How do I get out of here?
I see the Keeper symbol high in the middle area locked by gates. I found the book saying there's a portal guarded by a switch near the Monastery, near one of the columns. It either refers to a switch I earlier needed to open to get to the Cloister area (via another switch) or - if it's referring to a column in the cloister, there's a LOT of columns. I do hear a "portal" noise in the northeast corner of the cloister, but I still haven't found a switch. Help!
