Palace of the dead guide questions.

[Missile]

So Im currently in Coda 2. I didnt complete the palace of the dead in chapter4. Im almost at the fork between rodtrick and nybeth.

I heard the palace of the dead guides only work after Nybeth is dead. If I were to just kill Nybeth would the game kick me out of the the dungeon and onto the world map? If so will i be able to use to palace of the dead guides right after? Or do i HAVE to do it chapter 4 in order for the guides to work?

My plan is to kill Nybeth and head back at the fork and head for Warren. Does that work?

I'm not entirely sure you can kill Nybeth in CODA 2. Or Roderick if you haven't killed Nybeth in Chapter 4. At least I don't think you could do either in the PSP version.

Maybe they changed things up though in this version. If you got the opening scenes for the search for Warren in CODA 2 to activate, presumably you've got all the prerequisites for doing it. Did you get that opening scene in Heim with the White Knights and Canopus talking about how they were going to go search for Warren?

To answer your question about Nybeth and getting kicked out, when I beat him in Chapter 4, the game asked me if I wanted to leave the dungeon. I chose No as I wanted to do the rest of the floors at that level. I imagine CODA would probably work the same way.

Somehow i got the cutscenes to activate! They spoke of how they believed Warren was alive. I reached floor 88 and the coda cutscene appeared there. Okay. Im glad the game gives you the option to stick around! Ill go for Nybeth first.

I stand corrected. Nybeth isnt here. Some random dude is here instead. Damn

Glad to hear CODA is working out and all that travel down wasn't for nought!

If that non-Nybeth fight happens to be Blackmoor, he and his liches have some decent drops. Not a total waste.

Ran into the same problem as you
- guides actually work in coda if you got them by rescuing warren even if nyneth isn’t dead in act4
- to fight blackmoor (and get the ogre set) nybeth has to be dead which now forces me to anchor back to act 4 and redo palace all over again x2 (not a fan of this and may just not do it)

Yeah its pretty messed up. Id say its pretty unacceptable that its designed this way. They really didnt do enough to to side quest and post game to streamline it. It still doesn't respect your time.
