Andvari's ring and other questions

[GandGolf]

How do you get rid of Andvari's ring after you pick it up? Nobody in Munarvagir will speak to me with it.

Give it to Heime. Fremont the troll will take the ring as well, but it's easier to give it ti Heime.

you can give it to heime the curse will not effect him or the troll who guards the bridge to mannavagir

It was quite surprising when I reloaded the game only to find I still had the ring, especially when I loaded a save from before I even entered Svartalfheim. If you loaded a game from chapter 1 would you still have the ring? This could potentially cause a bug.

EDIT: new question, after Andvari turns into a fish how long do you have to wait at the lake for him to pop up again? When I first arrive at the lake a fish jumps out of the water and I'm assuming it's him but when I use the net on the lake it says it's not a good place for fishing.

Not sure about doing a reload from chapter 1, could be risky. As for Andvari, you need to go to the mushroom grotto and place your net in the stream by the rock bridge. Exit the screen, then return, Andvari should be caught in the net.

It's not a bug. You know how in fairy tales, there is this cursed object where you try everything to get rid of it, and then it always comes back? You throw it in the water, and the next day you eat a fish and you find the ring in its stomach? This is one of those.

Who all will still talk to you when you have the ring? It would be kind of cool if you could chuck the ring in the lava at either the Svartalfheim gate or Andvari's workshop, kind of like at the end of "Lord of the Rings, Return of the King".

Only humans (are they considered humans?) won't talk to you, and Heime and the Yarl are the exception to that. Also if you go back to chapter one, you can still meet the Yarl and accept the main quest and the magic map, but the soldier is a little rude to you about it lol. I am completely unsure if Hervor will talk to you. Regin will talk to you.

Of course, Hervor and Regin aren't human :)
