Star/Blood Stone Locations

[Tehrock]

I'm trying to figure out if I've missed any star or blood stones along the way. Using the list here: http://divinity.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_/_Star_Stone_Locations

I just used the extra blood stones I had after healing the guy's pack beast and the mage that was pushed off the cliff (according to searches those are the only two instances that require blood stones), and I just unlocked the armory.

I have 11 spent stones in my inventory, and I don't think I sold any of them, so is this the right number to unlock the armory?

Looking through the list I think that number lines up with which ones I've got. I'm not sure why they put the one in Boreas' treasure vault as number 12 since you get it way before you even get number 6 on the immaculate trial.

I read you have to get all of them to unlock everything at the homestead. Is that still the case in the Enhanced Edition? I hate to destroy the totem in the goblin village since I don't really have a reason to.

[Tehrock]

Well I guess the goblin totem is irrelevant. I tried to destroy it and got stunlocked and thoroughly rekt. I got off one move before everyone was dead. Yeah I think I'm gonna do without that one.

You can lay down oil from the totem to an unlit fire then light the fire and it will light the oil and destroy the totem without aggroing the goblins.

Star Stone Locations
This is a list of the various Blood / Star Stone and their respective locations throughout the game.

Stone 1 (Star or Blood)
A star stone is dropped by Evelyn in Theyron's Healing House when you make a choice to save either Boris or Steven. Alternatively, you can steal the blood stone directly from Evelyn by pickpocketing her.

Stone 2 (Star)
Found at the scene of Councilor Jake's murder at the King Crab Inn in Cyseal.

Stone 3 (Star)
Found by the Waypoint Portal near the bridge that links Cyseal and Luculla Forest.

Stone 4 (Blood)
Found in Pontius' Chest on his Ship

Stone 5 (Star)
Found in Braccus Rex's Personal Belongings Chest in the North East corner of the same room where you battle him. It cannot be opened without the correct key.

Stone 6 (Star)
Found during the Immaculate Trial in the last area of the dungeon after completing the final puzzle.

Stone 7 (Blood)
Found in the hidden room at the end of Maradino’s Lab.

Stone 8 (Star or Blood)
Found at the beginning of the quest involving Mangoth. The type of stone depends on your choices during dialogue with Mangoth.

Stone 9 (Blood)
Found when you destroy the totem in the Goblin Village.

Stone 10 & 11 (Blood)
Both are hidden in the cellar of the Immaculate church in Silverglen (accessible after meeting Loic at the end of the Immaculate trial).

Stone 12 (Star)
Found in Boreas' treasure vault.

Stone 13 (Blood)
Found when you destroy the talking Iron Maiden in the Hiberheim prison.

Stone 14 (Star)
Found when you open the sarcophagus in the Knight's Tomb.

Stone 15 (Star)
Buried in the Source Temple near the broken Teleport Mirror you encounter shortly after entering.

Stone 16 (Blood)
Found in the Temple of the Dead above Cassandra's true corpse in the eye of the stone titan head.

Stone 17 (Star)
The amulet that Zandalor wears around his neck contains a star stone. Once you get close enough to him in the Source Temple it will get activated.

The ninth star/blood stone unlocks the armoury. Did you enter the armoury, proceed far enough to get the cutscene conversation, then return to the main section of the homestead through the portal?

After the armoury is opened, the next is the trader's emporium (across the hallway) then the final elemental portal and lastly the chapel portal.
Check the map, or mini-map, for markers. If a portal is completely open, there should be a map marker for it; if there is one portal open with no marker, that is the one holding up the rest.

Look for Zixzax; he may be standing by the next portal, or the statue, waiting for your party to show up. If he is sitting by the weaver, it means you need to find/use another star/blood stone (not likely unless you miscounted the inert stones), or you need to end the attack on the homestead, if that is still going on.

Yeah, perhaps the Armory wasn't the last thing I unlocked, since I definitely used at least 11 stones. I think I've unlocked everything since I have the trader's emporium and the chapel. The only thing I haven't unlocked is that portal that says I'm not permitted to enter. I had read that you need all of the stones to unlock everything, but is that no longer the case?

[Tehrock]

I have 13 now, and I'm definitely only missing the last 4 on that list since I haven't been to those places yet. Could have sworn the armory unlocked at 11, but perhaps it was one of the elemental planes? I think there was a couple times where it unlocked both a portal and one of the elemental planes.

Anyways I figured out which ones I'm missing so I'll have them all eventually. What they unlock and when is moot now.

[Raze_Larian]

The chapel portal is the last one you need; you can not open the 'Forbidden Zone'.

Well that's disappointing. So getting all the star stones in the game doesn't unlock anything, except an achievement I'm guessing?

Having extra star/blood stones is insurance the some players may not find them all but will find at least the 12 needed to get to endgame. Also the unused blood stones come in handy during the endgame to heal and ressurect party members.

I am walking up and down looking for star stones and can find none. I have eleven. The game doesnt tell which ones are missing (ou name the ones you found) so I am really close to abadon the game without completing it. sad.

either use maps or try to find "hidden" dungeons.

[=HellFire=]

At the goblin camp - Douse the campfire. Just use midnight oil or smash anoil barrel and make sure there's a nice stream of oil from the campfire to the totem and ignite the campfire. Result is just a destroyed totem and a blood stone. Somehow the goblins don't mind this at all lol. Worst thing what can happen is that some of the goblins might get hit in the process when the barrel gets destroyed but you're at the end of the game and -20 attitude is nothing anyway.

I literally finished the game last night and because of that final blood stone hehe. At first I also tried to ignore the camp (the goblin fight seems tough) but I wanted to finish the game so I had to. This trick helped alot.

[Edu Furiano (bora coop games)]

I already had gotten that goblin stone, Hellfire. The point is: the game doesnt help finding the missing ones (despite the game having one fortune teller and one time vigilante NPCs). I believe I ran all the main story, entered the temple, defeated cassandra, visited the mage's house, etc. Probably with 1 more (12 stones) I am able to finish the game. Afraid I find none. :(

PS: ingame we also are not told which quests are main and which are not. Nor the stones have any indication of where they were found. Or which quests are related to blood/star stones. I wonder if the original sin II has this type of problem due to lack of ingame info.

[Edu Furiano (bora coop games)]

I found out a 12th stone. It was Pontius's that I had missed. Now I can try to complete the game. Finally.
PS: what? I must find all 17 ? is that really true? So sad with this game......

But what I said remain: some ingame info could help to track better the stones, since its essential to complete the game. That, there is not.

this's essentially puzzle game. there're purposefully very few superfluous hints. like most puzzles game's not designed such that everyone can finish it.

[Edu Furiano (bora coop games)]

So everything its fine then if Just a few luckly complete the game. Understood. ¬¬
