Tenebrium

[Under Your Bed]

Where do I get the Tenebrium ore from for Brandon?

I bought 3 T-Weapons & shield. Checked my inv & they all disappeared. I guess I need the skill just to carry them.

I searched a mine with invulnerable knights, tried sneaking & using invisibility, but eventually got caught. Am I even in the right location? Do I have to stealth the whole mine in & back out again?

Or if this doesn't eventually give me the ability to learn the skill 'Tenebrium' from Brandon to use the weapons, then what does?

Thanks.

There are 2 locations in Luculla where you can mine the ore: either do as Brandon suggests and sneak past the trolls in Troll King's cave (but it's very dangerous, as the trolls are level 15) or mine them in the mines where the Death Knights dwell. It's much easier to mine it there and then come back to Brandon (and yes, it's very important to do this before progressing further into the mines - you'll thank me later). One of the veins can be found just north and to right of the waypoint, iirc.

Here's what you need to do: look for ore veins that have stripes of purple - that's the ore you want. Make sure you're mining with the character who holds the bag Brandon gave you in their inventory or else you'd catch Rot. Then simply come back to Brandon and give him the ore. This will give all your characters tenebrium +1 and will make you immune to Rot. This is the fastest & easiest way to get the skill, as the other way to get it lies further ahead (you'd have to find and defeat a certain someone who knows their way around Tenebrium).

Weapons disappearing from your inventory sounds like a bug though.

I found the troll king cave, but it has a solid statue blocking the path. The gold coins are also what looks like stone. So there is no way atm for me to explore there right now.

The mine with the Death Knights is where I am atm. I have the bag & a pick axe, I'll double check to make sure the right char is carrying both. Seems I'm in the right place then. Not looking forward to stealthing.

I wondered if the T-Weapons might have been teleproted to the end of time in one of the stashes/chests? Other wise yeah maybe it's a bug.


Thanks for the help & info!

You don't have to stealth if you're just after Tenebrium. Get to the spot I've mentioned and the quest is as good as done. You will need to sneak past the Death Knights for the main story, though...

That aside, there is a way into the Troll's Cave, but you'd have to find some way to get inside. No spoilers. It very much depends on what you've explored so far and by extension what level you are, but as I said before, it's much easier to get Tenebrium in the mines.

Have fun.

Oh I see. maybe I've explored a bit too far into the mine. I found one mining spot, but only got iron ore? Thought I had to go further into the mine.

I'll look out for the purple veins like you said, thanks.

[CrackeR]

Tenebrium does you absolutely no good untill you do the quest for brandon in silverglen...which involves getting into the Troll King Cave and mining it.

I just found a T-Spear. Picked it up & checked my inv & it's not there. It seems I cannot even carry T-Weapons with out first learning the ability to use them.

The mine I'm at right now (West on the map) doesn't have any purple veins. Just large purple crystals up high. Can't get to them anyway. I must be in the wrong mine, but there are death knights patrolling.

The troll king cave is East. I'll head that way, but I'll also need to find a way to access it. I'll look it up later to find the answer.

You have to go north from the waypoint in the mines & break the rocks that are blocking the path. There you'll find iron ore veins and iirc Tenebrium is further down that path, perhaps right after that or just behind another pile of rocks. It's near that one group of immaculates gathered around a bone totem. You don't actually need to sneak past any Death Knights to get to that ore vein.

Oh well, if you'e not going to look for a way inside the Troll Cave and would rather spoil it, might as well spoil it for you:

Hint: They say the famous wizard Maradino had a hideout somewhere in Luculla forest, perhaps he was privy to the secret of the Troll Cave...only way to find out!

Hint 2: There is someone who could tell you where to find Maradino's cave...However to reach said person you'd first have to get past the sandstorm to the north of Luculla.

Spoiler, don't look if you want to find it on your own: the actual location can be found near the goblin village in Luculla. Exit the village through the south entrance and head west until you see where the forest area blends with the sandstorm (should be pretty close). Under the cliff you'll find a wounded Immaculate, speak to him to get a quest & get on top of the hill. Run around until you find a hatch (not sure if you need a lot of perception for this or not). In the dungeon itself, proceed to the garden area to find the key to the locked room (possibly need to find a hidden mound to dig upthe key, can't recall if that's the case). Open the locked room, interact with a book on one of the shelves, pick up Maradino's Secret Documents and learn how to get to the trolls by reading it.

Look in the chest you picked up. the tenebrium chest. all T-based items will automatically be put in that one.

-its just a theory though. let me know if I'm right :)

Ah thanks for the spoiler, but I meant I would look it up later as in check my log, speak to people again in the village & look through my bag to see if I collected a certain item that would help me.

I appreciate the hints & spolier though. I recently killed a person with a similar (possibly the same name) in hint 1. I have done hint 2, maybe not met the right person yet.

I have met that immaculate you mention in your spoiler. I didn't notice the next part. I'll go back & check again. If the name is the same as the person I killed, then I need to check my inv for the item as I must have found an alternate route? I found a secret room beneath the floor, searched many book shelves. I must have it.

Ha! Will do thanks.

Great so I should still have them. I'm still learning so much in this game. I made 8 PT's until I felt happy with my 2 chars, but even now I'm thinking about starting again to try something else.


Anyway I'll go check the T-Chest & my inv for the other things.

Thanks for the help!

Ah, but that would not be possible, unless you've killed his ghost. If you did, then you should have the documents I've mentioned before, and so you can get access to the Troll Cave. Just read them and you'll know what to do. And then you'll learn of Maradino's fate.

By the sound of it you do have it.

Have fun.

Steal it from the Sacred Stone town smithy.

Yes you are right. I have pink legendary 'Queen Bee' T-Crossbow, Purple Epic T-Axe, 1 common T-Bow & Shield. (the T-Spear is gone because I went back to a previous save).

I will have a look at that now as I just returned back there to speak to Brandon. Not sure if I have the gear from earlier with +sneak & +pickpocket though, might have sold it.

I hope so. I did look in 1 of my bags just before checking the mine again for Tenebrium ore. Well, I found it. The reason why I didn't see it before was because of the way I had rotated the camera. I stopped in the area it was at, spun the camera round to look at something & out the corner of my eye I saw the purple veins on a large piece of rock.

Just need to go through my other bags & see if the documents are there somewhere. I had a look around for the secret entrance to the room, but didnt' find it.

Thanks

There's an important caveat to the mining/handling: Bairdotr has one rank of the Tenebrium skill by default, so she can mine it (and use it) without Rot being an issue. Just make sure you put it in the container before handing it to anyone else.

This can potentially apply to a second character if you manage to visit Sacred Stone beforehand.

I noticed she had that 1 point before. This time I chose to do 'Lone Wolf' & I had low sneak ability at the time so couldn't release her with out getting caught. So she's still locked up. Thanks for the heads up.
