Aard sign?

[hardcore]

I just started the game today and have gotten to the Reverend's quest but I just realized I don't have the Aard sign that you got from the first part of the game. Does that mean I have to start over to get it, or are there other places along the way I can pick it up? Thanks for any help.

Hello and welcome to the forums, hardcore.

As for the Aard sign, there should be another one in the Outskirts, though I can't quite recall where it is. Could be near a certain cave. But my best bet is to start over and get it in the laboratories of Kaer Mohen, just to be safe.

i find that hard to belive since the game forces you to get it in order to continue... i'd check again if i were you.

How did you get out of the laboratory than?

POSSIBLE SPOILER:
You know, that's a good question. I played the prologue, and then didn't start playing again for over a week, and I just don't remember clicking on the rock to get the sign, or using it. I may have, but now I 've forgotten how to activate it. I got out of the lab by killing the Frighterer and curing Triss. I just can't seem to figure out the user interface of this game, even with the manual. It's so different from Bioware, Obsidian games, which I almost exclusively played until now.

if you are not in hostile zone (indicated by 3 claw marks on daytime/nightime display), than there is no way you can activate signs or even draw weapons. could be it. and sometimes after changing zones from hostile to safe the signs automatically disable, so you need to activate them again (when in hostile zone)by pressing hot key or by clicking the icon
