Arx Fatalis Hints

Where is the trolls' idol?

  • 1 of 7: The idol was stolen by a goblin. Try looking for it inside the goblin city.
  • 2 of 7: The goblin foreman inside the troll camp will allow you to enter the city after you've told him why the trolls are on strike.
  • 3 of 7: Speak with the goblins inside the city, keeping alert for any suspicious behavior.
  • 4 of 7: You'll notice that Atok the Quartermaster seems to bear a grudge against King Alotar. He believes that Alotar cheated in the election, robbing Atok of the throne.
  • 5 of 7: If you try to enter the locked room marked "Reserve", a guard will tell you that Atok has forbidden anyone from entering it. You'll have to request permission from the king to investigate this room.
  • 6 of 7: Speak with the king in his bedroom and he will order the reserve unlocked. Inside the reserve, you'll find a locked chest.
  • 7 of 7: After you take the idol from the chest, Atok will enter the room and lock the door behind him. After you've dispatched him, you can search his body for the key to unlock the door again. Now that you've got the idol, return it to King Pog.
