Hi, I just made it to the City Heights, but I have many uncompleted things back in the dungeons that I could not figure out because of: magically sealed doors, not knowing the words to open glyphs, etc. I went up and down those dungeon floors and decided I couldn't do anything else except go to the City Heights. I now am in an unexplored area, but I should I be here? Will I discover the words to open glyphs and clean out the dungeon here in the City Heights, or is this a new area that has no relation to the dungeon? I love exploring this new area but I can't stand that there are so many unsolved sections of the dungeon. thanks
In a word, yes. You'll set up the chance to learn the Splashing Word as part of the same quest you need to complete to get the dwarf ghost to speak with you. (Hint: [spoiler]look for a fountain, either outdoors or back in the dungeon[/spoiler].) And you'll learn the Singing Word as you work your way back to the surface following a fall through an unstable patch of ground; along the way you'll also uncover a useful artifact, and a sorcerer's armor that totally rocks. (Hint: [spoiler]look, or rather walk, on the pathway to the right of the outdoor fountain[/spoiler].) Plus, you'll learn the Dragon Word (which opens the cruel glyph) from some orogs, [spoiler]if you either re-enter the House of Gems tower or head back near the glyph itself[/spoiler]; they want your help to defeat the sorcerer-heavy party on the other side of those doors.
damn...they really make it difficult don't they. I'm not going to look at the spoilers (I'll try to do it myself but I appreciate that). There is one place however that I found in the city heights that led down to an area in in the halls of light, so I guess at least part had to be solved with me going up to the City Heights. I've got some Words in the past (somehow) and have opened some doors. I don't remember if I talked to a dwarf ghost or not...So no words will be found in the City Heights eh? I spent around 3 weeks (in our world) searching those dungeons now I have to go back...and I was so enjoying the City heights! thanks for the advice!
Ah, those City Heights. Some fresh air does a body good, yes? FTR, you'll eventually need to find and help the dwarf ghost as part of the main quest anyway; the fact that it opens up a side quest is just a bonus. And if you explore all the ins and outs of the building the dwarf is in, you'll probably run across the orogs anyway; like I mentioned above, they're desperate for your help.
hmmmm....I'd hate to go back into that dungeon but my neurosis keeps me from enjoying the fresh air. I've gotta go back and complete all of those quests! wish me luck.
