What does Grendel want?

He wants you to pay at least a bit of attention to the game.

Spoiler

And your soul.

 

[Lord Marcus]

I said that and nothing.

 

[Morblot]

I said that and nothing.

Jesus Christ, man.

Explore the same floor the riddle is presented. Read the writings on the walls. Compose a sentence. Say that sentence to the stone head.

 

[Nixheb]

Well, I found in Gideon Reservoir the

mirror of reflekshun

but I already

Spoiler

killed the bad guy in his tower of observation

Is it usefull for something else ? My inventory is vomiting critical items...

 

[Viata]

Never used that.

 

[Fowyr]

What does Grendel want?

A sammich, of course
Though skulls before his room want bones.

 

[mondblut]

...a bookcase?

it should take in scrolls and parchments at least. who carries around 16 spellbooks? OTOH, a single scrollcase is direly insufficient.

 

[Viata]

That bookcase shows up too late, imo. By that point your spell casters can read them easily.

It's

POSSESSIONS

. I probably wrote it wrong before.

 

[ukdouble1]

Many thanks. I check it now. It needs to write only

Spoiler

"POSSESSIONS", "COLLECT POSSESSIONS" causes a negative effect.

And so it turns 600 hours.

Idiot me had the words in the wrong order, self administered uppercut

Does it cast a useful spell?

 

[Filthy Sauce]

huh. Forgive me if this has been mentioned before. Just started a new party at the default briarpatch woods location. While resting, I got some sort of special encounter/text about a bad sleep because someone was laying on a pointy stick and then it was added to my inventory.

It has 32 charges, goes in the main weapon slot and causes blindness (very clever, Cleve)

That bookcase shows up too late, imo. By that point your spell casters can read them easily.

On the other hand, it would have made sense for a bookcase to be the culmination of the party's escalating tendency to grab items for the purpose of using them to contain other items, even though it wouldn't be useful by that point.

Speaking of which, do we have a full list of all containers in Grimoire? In my game, I found:

Spoiler

Magic Sack - Wizard's Sky Barge
Wizard Bag - Samhain Underworld
Quest Locker - Kublai Axis
Potion Rack - Kublai Axis
Huntsman's Quarrel - Gaol Sewers
Canvas Sack - City of Waterport
Pantry - H.M.S. Intrepid
All Purpose Barrel - Lower Berth of the Snark
Quest Pouch - Sargasso of the Kraken
Bookcase - Imperial Palace
Barding Kit - Ruins of Gideon
Jewelry Box - Chasm of the Oracle
Snakeskin Pouch - 3rd Coil

I know I missed a scrollcase somewhere.

On the other hand, it would have made sense for a bookcase to be the final culmination of the party's escalating tendency to grab items for the purpose of using them to contain other items, even though it wouldn't be useful by that point.

The Scroll case is the first one you find way before any of these

Found it,
The scroll case is in the spirt caves , north most tile on the map , on a skeleton

A few small questions accumulated.
Perk keys are used only in the Samhain Mausoleum, if I opened all the chests there, they are no longer needed?
My thief has one-handed sword or dagger in one hand, and a buckler in the other. If she receives an additional attack, this attack is not used, although, if instead of buckler in the left hand give her darts, she will throw them in case of an additional attack. But the berserker (both in the berserker mode and in the usual mode) with a one-handed ax and shield, receiving additional attacks, does not lose them. What's the catch?
After some events about Harradan Groves, I noticed that my characters forever decreased his primary stats by 1-3 points. Is this the result of someone's special attack?

 

[Fowyr]

There is the hidden chest with a Cosmic Gate book in Zephyr Isles.

Spoiler

It's on that strange rocky patch of ground, SW island.
Heal Nick and ask him about pirates again.

How do you know his extra attacks are not used? He should simply use the primary weapon with them.

Sounds more like a bug if it's true or some druids there have attribute draining abilities.

There is a ring pouch somewhere.

Where is potion rack specifically?

 

[ukdouble1]

Thx.

How do you know his extra attacks are not used? He should simply use the primary weapon with them.

I read the battle log. In the case of a thief, after reporting an additional attack, there is always a message about the actions of the next character. In the case of a berserker, after reporting an additional attack, a report of its results is given.

What attributes were decreased permanently in Harradan Groves and by how much? Was it only the front line people or others as well?

My mag (standing in the third row) lost 1 strength, my ranger lost 3 speeds (stands in the second row). Probably, I have not noticed any losses. I noticed this not immediately, and I have no more old save files to compare.

 

[zeitgeist]

Where exactly is

Spoiler

the Key Of The Domain (that opens Grendel's gate)

located? I already found it once (I distinctly remember seeing its name in-game) but I either dropped it while reshuffling the inventory or I loaded a save where I didn't have it or something, and now that I'm at the actual gate it's nowhere to be found.

I tried Locate Items on all floors with no results so I think it might have despawned at some point (I'm not sure if it would show it even if it's still in the original chest? IIRC it was in some chest, wasn't it?).
