Unlock runes at the rune table?

[Shockwave]

Missing 4 runes and we feel like we are near the end game. don't have the sunstone one, the troll one the dragon one or the swiftness rune.

Is there a list on how to unlock those runes?

I think you get all of those when you kill the final boss.

What a dumb mechanic... why get all the runes after you finish the game? That makes no sense.

I was surprised at how much unlocked at the end.

Yea, especially the building stuff and new armor recipes.

Ok we killed the final boss and they are not unlocked, Still have two slots empty and we finished the game.

Patience; finish the story and the runes will unlock.

I have no idea what you are talking about.. care to be actually helpful? Didn't think so.....

How can you be more patient than finishing the game.... finishing the game means I don't know... finishing the game. opened the door, let in the dwarves, got the ending cinematic, etc etc.

IF anyone knows how these last two runes are unlocked please let us know on the off chance we ever play again.

Confucious say one could surmise that there will be DLC/Expansions coming that one will need the endgame mechanics for... hmmmmmm........

Then why not release the runes with the DLC? That's just supposition on your part and not everyone would buy the DLC. But that doesn't answer how to unlock them which people say they can be unlocked now.

The specific runes listed in OP can be unlocked. There are still a few ruins that remain locked at the end of the game, presumably for future expansion.

Impossible. I listed the 4 runes we didn't have (according to the wiki) unlocked in the table before beating the dragon. After finishing the game completely we unlocked 2 of those 4 (the dragon and one other) while leaving 2 slots still not unlocked.

If we could unlock all 4 of those runes listed in the OP, there would be no more slots that remained unlocked.

I think there is a bit of a missunderstanding going on

you unlock runes mostly by finding the runes in the overworld and 2 for endgame I think

the rune table will not be fully filled out there are empty spots

I do not know what troll and swiftness rune you are referring to those do not exist in the game, maybe those are unused runes? There are only 8 runes accessible in the game.

there are entries around the net showing outdated or simply wrong runes
fact is - there are more slots on the rune table then runes available.
currently 8 runes are avaiable


flame rune
ice rune
thunder rune
extra damage against animals

extra damage against dragons
extra damage against shadow creatures
chance to get extra ironwood from wooden objects
