Bloodmoon Isle help, anyone?

[Justin_760]

Has anyone gotten past this quest? I cant find anything via google, only a single thread with no answers. Possible spoilers below.

So using the power to see spirits, ive taken a jaunt across the isle and spoken to everyone, found three silver bars and forged them to levers, and explored the vault with the spectral blade thing and the archivist. The other thread I found mentioned something about the blazing statues or there being four levers, I dont know.

Any help would be appreciated. The first Divinity game was ridiculously vague and confusing with its quests, impossible for me to progress through it without numerous guides/wikis. Its a shame to see that the sequel hasnt improved much in the way of making objectives clearly known and understood. I am totally confused, have twenty different quests cluttering my journal and its difficult taking in all the information the game dolls out at once, but I think also something about a hymn a demon used is also important to this quest?

Edit: Got the demons name, for future reference:

Use spirit vision to talk to all spirits on the island, they are scattered about and youll need to do some laps around it. Look for silver bars (dont think its even necessary for the quest but thought Id mention regardless) by the forge and another by shore, near a statue and some dead black ring folk. Combine silver in the ancient forge to create three levers. With wits, find the vault which is in the north east corner, dig mound and inside use spirit vision to talk to archivist, scour the bookshelves for notes that will update a variety of quests. Thanks to SL, theres a book in vault that gives trees name. Theres a wierd talking sword in the back, no clue what it does, and a chest that can be picked for teleporter pyramid. Then talk to the tree, call her by her name that you discover from book in vault. There is also a book in the vault of a hymn, reading it says it cant be comprehended, but having Fane read it lead to quest update and it being understood, I think someone with the scholar tag is whats needed. After that you can sing hymn to statues. Im not sure if thats even everything but hopefully itll help anyone that finds this thread.

Our party is having issues with this quest as well. We have gone into the archives and found nothing to forward the quests on the Isle. We killed The Advocate which allows you to speak to the tree. Nothing comes of that either. It's quite frustrating that quests stay in your log even if you have completed them to the fullest. One of the ghosts on the island mentions singing to the statues an ancient hymn to make them move. However we have not found the document with the hymns on it either.

Ugh, well thanks for chiming in. Yeah took care of advocate and blackring people near tree, found another thread with totally unhelpful answers. Someone said "cast blood rain" but didnt feel the need to mention where on the isle to cast it, considering Ive already made a dozen laps around it, I shudder at the thought of how much time itll take to cast that spell over every inch of it. Not to mention the cooldown time after each cast.

Someone also mentioned needing high enough wits to spot a dig spot, my wits is at 30, so honestly I doubt it would need more than that to be noticed. Already found archive mound but apparantly there is another vault dig spot east to it, and Im not entirely sure thats even true. No clear answers anywhere, makes me wonder if ANYONE has finished this quest or if its bugged.

Edit: Finally stumbled on a hidden dig spot, my heart jumped and I was overjoyed with happiness. Until a USELESS package popped out, weighing 151 units and tagged with text "worthless" yet for some reason my character said "good find" and its highlighted yellow as it its a unique item. I know im really reaching and desperate here, but Im hoping this has something, anything to do with the quest. Anyone know?

Did you get the tree's name from the archivist ? I finished this quest just 10 mins ago and found no other vault, there's 3 vaults under the statues ( sing the hymn to gain access) and there's one abandoned vault.

Where do you get the hymn? And THANK YOU. I talked to the tree and got the demons name. The only thing is how I got to that point I have no idea, as I talked to the tree dozens of times and couldnt get any dialogue that wasnt elven gibberish. Somewhere during my hours of aimless wandering something triggered or changed, hell if I know what, but something must have caused the tree to stop speaking in gibberish.

Shame because I was hoping to have a clear answer left in this thread for others who might get stuck and search the forums.

There is a book in the Archivist that gives you the tree's name.

Where did you find the key to open the pyramid chest in the archive?

I'm stuck, searching for hymn book.... in the archive... but nothing!

So is there a NPC that is a scholar beside Fane , cuz Fane died after we've had our first encounter with Dallis.

You need a scholar to be able to read it. Fane could do it for me.

Ryker also has a hymnal book in his relic collection downstairs

I know that there is also at least one other one, because I had it before I went to blood moon or ryker's place

[Comrade Reaper]

Fane red prince and lohsa can read the book
