[Hunter's Edge] Grutilda's Secret Cellar // War of the Stones

[mid or double mid]

1. The cellar's location is marked on the map as if it's on the left from the fireplace, but I can't see anything there, just an empty stone wall. Am I missing something?

2. What's the 'armory' the Hunter's Edge invaders are talking about? There are a couple of rooms next to the tavern's main cellar space, but they seems inaccessible. I've found the key but can I get in the armory myself?

3. I can't seem to find a way to progress in the War of the Stones quest. There's a bloodied metal grate where I can't fit through, and a locked gate just nearby. What do I do next?

Thanks!

for the cellar's location: at the fireplace, push either the picture or the candles, dont remember exaclty which one it was^^

the 2nd i'm missing too^^

and for the third, i havent made much more progress myself, but for the locked gate: there are 3 levers right there. 1 on either side and 1 in the middle, next to the metal grate

For the third you can always destroy the gate, but to survive inside you should first progress with Wizard Prisoners story :P

ok for that you need to sumon a GEO ( any eather type summoning ) type pet and it will show you the tracks on the ground on where to go so you don't get hit by the lighting curse

The summon makes it a lot easier yes but you can also just take a single character and watch your status. Warm = right track, getting chilled = don't take another step in that direction.

with a high enough perception there will be footprints on the ground you can follow so you dont get shocked.

[General Malaise]

Yeah, you need perception of 12 to see the footprints. I only could get to 11, so had to go back to Cyceal to buy some perception potion.

The armoury key unlocks the magic lock down in the prison.

Grutilida's secret cellar in not accessed by that door. You have to go into the pub cellar, and ether teleport a character through a window, or just throw the teleport pyramid through a window. You can come back up through that hatch in the corner though.

1. The cellar hatch can be revealed by interating with the small burning torch on the fireplace.
An alternate way to get in is through the wine cellar. There is a small window that you can toss a pyramid across into Grutilda's

2. The armory is a locked room in the undeground prison. The hatch into the prison is in the humans building.

3. You can destroy the gate or Teleport/Featherfall/Phoenix Dive past it. Once you go inside, you unlock a teleporter. To get past the entrance hall without fighting the 4 elemental guardians, you need a book that allows you to understand their language. The book can be found in the Wizard's house.

In my game since the patch, Grutilda's cellar contains no loot. In my first playthrough before the companion patch it had tenebrium weapons.

Here, here. This is by far and away the best way of doing it. That way you avoid being frozen to death.
A perception level of 10 or higher is required.

Those guardians you mentioned are Titans. I took them on in my second game and although it was a long fight it was one of the most satisfying battles in the entire game. Well done to you for taking them on as well :)

But where did the lightning come from? I'd like to point out that the upper level of the same area is a cold to freezing zone. If you stray from the warm route you will freeze to death in a very rapid fashion. Watch the character trying to keep warm as they do in Hiberheim if he/she strays from the warm path.

Unless there has been a change since the download of the DLC and or some recent updates, you only need a perception level of 10 or higher to see what you need to see.

[DKgaren]

earth summoning is the best way by far :P you spot everything with that lol

I just used Burn My Eyes. I'm more interested in making it up the stairs on the right side without having an absurd TK level to throw my pyramid (since I can't level up anymore!).
