Finding the greaves (unsolve on other discussions)

[pollito]

I've open a new discussion since my problem was not solve in other ones, despite they treated the same subject.

In a recent discussion (called "finding the greaves") a user said that the key to the armory it's on the guard that guards the armory itself. This we were talking on the version 4.90, same as I use. But in my game, the key isn't there, and is not anywhere else. What's the problem? Is my game corrupted? Is the key somewhere else? I've been watching tutorials, forums and all kinds of things; also turn the world around for hours inside the game, but no solution and no key. Can anybody help me?

Hi.
If you can't find the armory key on the rat guard in the stairs beyond the far tower (forest), please send us ([e-mail]) your save file, we will check if an unknown glitch have occurred.

You're very kind. I didn't check on those guards -the one on the forest and the far tower-, since in every discussion I saw, the key was said to be on the guard that guarded the armory. (I checked on every one of the guards of the courtyard and jail, instead.) I'll let you know if I find it on the guard you're telling me.

Thank you for reading me; it's great to know the developers of the game are reading the forums and talking to the players. Great game, by the way. I'll let you know.

Found them! Sorry for seeing a problem where there was none, I guess... Thank you very much! You took a lot of stress out of my back.

Glad to hear that ^^.

I'm glad that you brought this up, because I stopped playing, unable to find the key. This is great news.

Edit: Now my save corrupted itself and my character walks around like a quadraplegic. lol

Wow, that's odd. You should post it on the Bugs and issues part of the forum. Anyway, glad this could help somebody else. Lot of people had trouble finding the key; I blame lack of imagination, it's not that hard to imagine the key it's holded by the guard. But somehow I (and many others like us) managed to fail for hours on finding it, haha! Good luck!

[Phaedrus (cosmogonies)]

Yes, it is not an isolated case, so we may change that location maybe.
About the corrupted save file, it could be useful to send us to [e-mail] thanks !

Please don't change the location of the armory key. It's a perfect riddle. I think it would be better if there was another quest (for example, given by the thief mice) to get another key (or item) from another guard, so that the solution to the armory key becomes more obvious.

[iamthemagicbonsaitree]

You have to get a key from the sleeping guard in the jail, plus the guard that you can push a barrel on, so keys on guards aren't new. Rather than change the key's location perhaps you could be able to pay Rolo for information about keys, not neccessarily mark them on maps, more just hints (like "It's on a guard!"). That way you can give players who are stuck a way to find them, without making the locations too easy.

I agree with Eulenhaft. I was not a problem with the location at the end; the issue was the fact that knocking down a guard to steel a key is something I (and obviously other people) didn't know it was possible. It was an action or event I didn't know could happen in the game. I think Eulenhaft solution is great.
