need a tiny bit of help (small spoiler)

[Aubreii]

I am in western pass and I have collected all the necessary items that are required to fix the ship except one.

I need a smidgeon of iron ore and the book says that a normal weapon will do.

I do not have a normal weapon and none of the creatures I have killed here have dropped a normal weapon. There is that dead guy but all his stuff is broken and it appears that it will not work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

never mind

the broken weapon did work

Have you fully finished the second chapter?

There should be atleast one other guy who sells stuff in the second map near the Master-Of-Locks chamber. Little old gnome with a spider. He might sell a regular weapon.

If you have repaired the ship and cleared the icepalace, just before you leave the chapter make sure to go back to where oswalds ship was, he left you one of the best Items in the game
