Redguard: Quick Quest Tips
09 February 2011
I thought it would be useful to create a quick tips, or semi-walkthrough, page for all the quests. This page gives only
general hints and tips, but not complete spoilers, for those who just want a push in the right direction, and not the entire solution.
Links to the complete solution for each part are supplied for when you give up...;) For more quest tips and spoilers, see
the Redguard Walkthrough.
Hunding's Talisman
For some reason, the large statue of Hunding in the harbour has intrigued you. If only there was some way up to it... Perhaps
the route up to it lies in a nearby building somewhere on the docks. All you need are a few carefully timed jumps and a little
balancing act to get you where you need to be. Once there, you are certainly rewarded for its efforts, but what purpose does
it serve? For a more detailed walkthrough, including complete spoilers, see the Hunding's Talisman quest page.
The Goblin Caves
This is one quest you can do at any time since it doesn't require any preparation (other than perhaps a few health potions).
The entrance near the caves can be found underneath the waterfall just West of town. Immediately inside the caves your
path seems to be blocked. Perhaps those signs point the way...although they seem to point to some large, purple mushrooms.
A little furthur on your path seems to lead to a tunnel, but across some inpassable slime. Fortunately, a large ledge lets
you crawl your way to it. Perhaps now is a good time to take note of the wildlife inhabiting this cave and the dangers they
pose. Just inside this entrance you find a body along with some interesting notes. After a good deal of more exploring you
encounter a ship of sort, carrying some explosive cargo. Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you accidently dropped your torch
on one of those barrels? You path now having been made clear, you continue to encounter a large wheel of some sort. Your best
efforts to move the wheel fail...you need something which has more weight. Many people can't see the spoke sticking out the right
(to you) side (I couldn't), so try jumping to the right of the wheel, even if they can't see anything there. Once you've done hanging
around there your path again
is clear, but you seem to be stuck in this section of the caves, unable to return to where you entered. Perhaps that strange, gray
device you encountered sometime back would help you. Having finally teleported to safety, you find a strange crack in the wall.
If only Hunding were here, I'm sure he'd know what this was and for what purpose. Continuing on through the now open set of large
doors, you quickly encounter a ferocius green beast (a troll). After a vicious, and painful, battle you kill the thing and claim your victory.
After a short rest nearby, however, your blood is chilled when you see the monster's corpse stand up and approach. Surely there
must be some manner of killing the beast for good. Continuing on you discover yet another arrow pointing to a purple mushroom.
The jump is difficult, but not impossible. After a ways you come to a river of slime with a wheel nearby. Perhaps that does
something... Afterwards you discover that your path most likely continues on the other side of the river, if only there was
a way across. Once that problem is solved you discover a strange device resembling a skull. The jaw seems to be in the shape
of a platform for some reason. At the bottom, after dispatching two goblins, you notice a giant snail roaming up an down
an expanse of slime. I'm sure it wouldn't mind that much if you jumped on for a ride. At the end, and across a narrow
bridge of sorts, you encounter a very beast resembling a goblin, most likely the goblin king you've heard vaguely about.
You seem to be no match for its strength, but fortunately you are much quicker that it. If only there was a way to use
its own strength against him. You also notice a decorated corspe in an alcove. The markings on the body indicate that,
indeed, this was the archmage Voa. Perhaps he's carrying something you can use. After a short ride through a nearby
teleporter you exit the caves, exhausted, but a little richer.
For a more detailed walkthrough, including complete spoilers, see the Goblin Caves quest page.
Dwarven Mines
During your adventuring around the island, you encounter a dwarven artifact site at the top of a mountain with two
large doors. One set of doors has several dwarven runes inscribed upon it but, unable to read Dwarven, they are
nothing more than gribberish to you. Perhaps someone around could help you read them or has something that would
help you read them. A dwarven-redguard dictionary would be most useful right now. Once this dilemna has been
solved you boldly enter the abandoned mines. After a bunch of climbing, jumping, and other ariel manuvers, you
come to a large room with several exits. Two exits are guarded by a large, golden figure holding a sword.
Their position looks suspicious to you so you close for a better look, making sure you stay clear of those deadly
looking swords. After a long travel filled with death defying leaps, you come to a magnificent looks machine
very much resembling a beetle. After a closer inspection you discover the contraption has something to do with
opening a nearby door. If you could manipulate the thing somehow such that it would fasten to the center chain,
you'd be set. After hours of trial and error, you finally transform the beetle into a strange robot looking thing
allowing you to continue (you exit outside to the Dwarven Steam Pipes).
After turning on the power at the Dwarven steam plant you return to the mines area. In a large construction room
of some sort you notice that turning the power on has caused several platforms to open. Just the ticket to bypassing
that broken bridge, if you don't miss those jumps that is. Continuing on, and opening a barred door in the process,
you encounter a large tunnel leading to a huge, open area. As you approach you notice a very large statue standing
in it. To your horror, as you approach, the statue begins to whir...and move! Those ingenius dwarves managed to make
some of a giant robot. Since the path behind you has been barred, it appears as though you must face the machine, or
be trapped for a long time. After careful consideration, you realize that a bold frontal assualt would useless and
most likely lead to you quick death. The robot is simply too large and powerful for such a strategy. Surely it must
have some weakness, an achilles heel so to speak. Perhaps you should take a closer look for any weaknesses, being
careful of that crushing arm. Fortunately, you are slightly faster than the robot and, with a good deal of
difficulty, manage to take it down, yielding a valuable dwarven gear in the wreckage and opening a door to the outside
in the process. For a more detailed walkthrough, including complete spoilers, see the
Dwarven Mines quest page.
Dwarven Steam Pipes
You arrive in this area from the Dwarven Mines, although you aren't completely sure what you must do. After you cross
the bridge you notice two pipe sections in the ceiling that aren't connected. You also notice a large collection
of pipes and machinery. Since you know that the dwarves used steam as a source of power you assume that this area
produced the steam power for the mines. Assumably, those two pipes would have to be connected if you wanted things
to work correctly. There doesn't seem to be anything around, though, to fix this problem. Perhaps something on the
second level, if only there were a way up. You'd think with all these pipes running everywhere that you could find
a way to climb up there. After some careful acrobatics you reach the top and discover two wheels which close the
pipe sections. Now, how to turn this thing on? On a careful observation of the main machine, you notice a turn wheel,
perhaps this does something useful. If you are wondering about the other turn wheels scattered about, they are needed
if you solve this puzzle the way Bethesda intended you. There are at least three ways to solve the problem of reaching
the second level...can you find them all? Once your done, you can return to the Dwarven Mines. For a more detailed
walkthrough, including complete spoilers, see the Dwarven Steam Pipes quest page.
N'Gasta's Amulet
You get this quest from Kotaro down by the docks. All you have to do is pick up an amulet from the necromancer on the Ilse of
N'Gasta and deliver it to Lord Richton in the palace. The island is reached via the set of old and ill repaired docks in
the North-West of the mainland. Once there, you'll be confronted with an iron gate that doesn't want to open. Fortunately,
you find a crow bar in a room nearby opened via a lever. Once inside the area your route to N'Gasta's tower is blocked by
a stone statue and an open chasm! Perhaps there is something nearby that will help you. For a more detailed walkthrough,
including complete spoilers, see the N'Gasta's Amulet quest page.
Escaping the Catacombs
Well, you delivered the amulet to Lord Richton and had a few words with the man, landing you in palace catacombs. Perhaps that prisoner
in the cell with you has some inspiring words? Of course, that still leaves you in the cell, if only there were a way to
reach that rope in the ceiling. Once you get out your first priority should be to find your equipment to take care of
all those guards. Continuing, you come to a large room with three doors in the West. Perhaps those four triangular buttons
there might do something useful. For a more detailed walkthrough, including complete spoilers, see the
Escaping the Catacombs quest page.
The Restless League
Most of the people you talk to seem to have something to say about the Restless league and the Smugglers Den. They certainly
seem to have something to do with your sister's disappearance. From talking to Lakene and Krisandra, you learn that a member
of the Smuggler's Den, Rollo, has 'stolen' a silver locket of his...perhaps just the ticket to getting in there. Unfortunately,
to your best efforts, Rollo is nowhere to be found. You do learn, though, that Rollo is a dock worker who comes out only when a
ship arrives and needs to be unloaded. There has to be some signal used to indicate a ship has arrived...perhaps that odd pair
Favish and Prnell could be of assistance here. Once you lure Rollo outside you use your considerable shadowing skills to find
his house, and hopefully, Lakene's missing locket. Returning to Lakene, he gives you the password to enter the Smuggler's Den
under the map maker's shop. Through a little persuasion, Urik gives you a Restless League Insignia which will hopefully help
you with contacting the league...somehow. From the prisoner in the palace catacombs, you have learned exactly where the league
can be contacted, but not how.
For a more detailed walkthrough, including complete spoilers, see the Restless League quest page.
