Ask the Author

If you have questions about a puzzle that aren't answered anywhere in these hints, you may contact the author.

Can I ever open the locked door that's down a side path near the ruins?
  • 1 of 5: Yes, but you'll have to get the key.
  • 2 of 5: Before you can find the key, you'll need to get Forad Darre into your party. To find out how, see the first few Main Line Quests.
  • 3 of 5: When you talk to Forad after he joins you, he'll suggest you ask Yrsa about the locked door.
  • 4 of 5: Do so, and she'll give you the Turret Key.
  • 5 of 5: Go try the door now to open it.
