Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
How do I find the location of Vendigroth?
1 of 13: To start, go upstairs in the main keep and talk to Jorian.
2 of 13: He'll tell you to go look at the tapestry of enlightenment downstairs, so go do that, and come back.
3 of 13: Once you talk to Jorian again, you'll be allowed in to see Simeon Tor.
4 of 13: Talk to Tor about Vendigroth, and he'll tell you that Pelojian, a dead mage who's spirit appears by the well outside, is the only person who would know.
5 of 13: He'll also give you some information about Pelojian to help your search for a way to talk to him.
6 of 13: Doing so can be tedious, or very simple, depending on if you know how to do it or not.
7 of 13: If you want to do it the long way, which you're "supposed to," look at the tapestry of enlightenment again, and sketch all of the symbols.
8 of 13: Then go outside and step on the various symbols corresponding to the symbols outside of the locked doors in order from the top and going clockwise as they appear on the tapestry. (The last for each sequence is in front of the door it opens). Read the books you find inside the buildings to learn the order in which to step on the circles by the fountain, and get the amulet in the building with the "plus sign" on the outside.
9 of 13: If you don't feel like doing all that, just pick the lock on the door with the "plus sign" outside, and take the amulet on the ground.
10 of 13: Then just wear the amulet, and go step on the circles in the correct order, which follows:
11 of 13: Starburst, Spiral, Stick Figure, Plus Sign, Symbol.
12 of 13: Once you do that, Pelojian will appear, and you can talk to him.
13 of 13: Ask him about Vendigroth, and he'll mark its location on your map.
