Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Where can I learn more about Nasrudin?
1 of 16: Do what Raven told you to, and go to the First Panarii temple. It's the really big building.
2 of 16: Inside, you'll find Alexander, the high acolyte, who will tell you that you should talk to Gunther Wilhem the historian, and Hadrian the archeologist.
3 of 16: Talk to Gunther first, and tell him your story when the option comes up.
4 of 16: He'll give you some information, and he'll tell you to talk to Hadrian, but to be careful.
5 of 16: So go talk to Hadrian, avoid mentioning your story, but tell him that you're here to see the remains of Nasrudin.
6 of 16: He'll tell you where they are and will tell you about a secret entrance through the sewers. And if you have very good Persuasion, you can convince him that you're an archeologist, so that he'll give you a password to get through a door.
7 of 16: Either way, go out of the temple and down the sewer grate right outside.
8 of 16: From where you go down, just enter the crack directly to your north.
9 of 16: You'll come out in a labyrinth filled with level-15 Bone Butchers.
10 of 16: You don't actually have to fight them -- just go straight down the passage to the door.
11 of 16: If you didn't get the password, just bash it down, and fight what appears.
12 of 16: Either way, go through the passage past the door to find the crypt.
13 of 16: Then, just open the nearby crypt, and take the skull from inside. Also, be sure to look at the top of the sarcophagus.
14 of 16: Now, just leave through the exit to the south, and come up to the temple.
15 of 16: Bring the skull back to Hadrian, and he'll ask you to solve the mystery if possible, but you'll get to that later.
