Banner Over the Citadel > Take the Citadel ------ HELP!

[Cicero]

I have retrieved the Sword of Valor and completed the quest steps "Find the Sword of Valor", "Hang the Sword of Valor", "Battle Through to the Citadel", "Make it to Drezen".

What triggers the completion of the quest step "Take the Citadel"????

I CAN'T WAIT to get out of Drezen, I hate this place. I have spent hours running around lost, trying to figure out what to do next, where to go next. It is not intuitive at all...it's insanely frustrating. I want to leave this place and never come back.

I will be so grateful if someone can tell me what I need to do to finish and get the heck out of here...

You have to go back out onto the ramparts, and find the entrance to the citadel command centre. There you need to defeat Minagho and Staunton Vane.

[Cicero]

Can anyone give me a hint where that is? I am so tired of running around lost. This is not fun.

After you hang the banner it's still entirely linear, you follow basically a single corridor to the boss room. Go along the wall into the citadel upper level, there's a small dead end side route up a tower, another small dead end to kill a bunch of demons in what looks like a small chapel, then go up the stairs to citadel command or whatever it's called, kill the demons, open the double doors, kill the boss, done. I can't conceive how you could possibly get lost there.

[Cicero]

Where is the entrance to the citadel command center!!?? Can somebody PLEASE tell me what it is near at least?

[Cicero]

Thank you DarkFenix. I will go all the way back to a save before I pick up the sword of valor and try again. It certainly didn't seem linear to me...

From memory, after you hang the banner, you go along that wall into the citadel. You're in a room with stairs and a door, Stairs go up the dead end tower with some demons and loot, door goes out to a corridor. It leads east, there's a fork, north goes up a wide staircase to an area transition to the citadel command level, continuing east goes to the demon and trap filled chapel.

Up on the command level there's one corridor, double doors on one side go into the command room itself where the boss is, going straight on leads to the master bedroom which contains a few low level demons and nothing else.

One thing that does spring into memory, when I loaded up an old save (ie. many months and patches old) in the citadel (specifically I was on top of the tower I mentioned) the area transition had disappeared, leaving me stuck up there. I loaded a slightly older autosave in a different room and it was fine.

This time I found the door called Citadels Command. I didn't see it last time. There are three different doors in the same area with absolutely no indication of where you are supposed to go. Last time I went back to Drezen. Thank you for the help. For anyone else who is stuck here, after you defeat the Omox's in the Church area, you need to go up the stairs to the door called Citadels Command.
