Stone Spiral mystery

[nottrusted]

Hi there,

after spawning and killing the "Thing" I felt a bit underwhelmed.

Aside from some xp, no further clues or conclusions what actually happened.

So maybe I missed something. Anyone got a different ending ?

p.s. Steam seems to have some issues atm to show screenshots correctly...

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but could you please tell me how to get this quest? I havn't played it and if I do I might be able to help you out!

Well, it's not actually a quest, it's more a secret easteregg.
There is a book called "Unaussprechlichen Kulten" (won't spoil too much here), just read the book closely and you will get enough info to be able to start the event.
It takes place in Otradnoye outskirts....
Unfortunately I can't remember where I found the book -.- , probably in a random encounter...

[Paulo Brificado]

Great! I'll keep an eye out for the book and warn you in case I find anything. Thanks!

When you kill the book haters for the bookseller, there is an option to get An interesting book instead of usual payment if I remember right thats how I got the book

I would say: make it a trophy! We basically killed a Shoggoth. Let's call it something like "Disciple of Nodens" - possibly give us tiny bonus for it as it happened with Shield quest ^_^

PS: really fun miniquest :D !

I like the idea,
doesn't have to be neccesarily a bonus to the character imo, but a trophy (like a tentacle^^) to decorate our personal bunker would be a nice addition. Just something beyond the xp to remember.

Actual eldritch tentacle trophy?! I'm bought! (make followers comment on it 1st tim they see it. wacky immersion will increase XD)

that's was one fun and weird easter egg, still unsure how i did it but the mushroom eating and the talks with the other npc's were fun https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1459735333

I'd say give the "trophy" an ability to cause "you hear voices" and "panic attacks" at random very rare intervals, even in combat.

"you hear voices" would cause you to pause for ten seconds and have a conversation with yourself. in combat this would take a full turn, out of combat you just mutter odd phrases and people look at you strangely.

"panic attacks" would cause you to run in a random direction for a turn in combat. same thing out of combat, for 5 seconds of real world time.

again, very rare effects; might happen once per 24hrs on average.

...and you can't get rid of it. if you try to sell it, drop it, trade it... the voices won't let you.

on the plus side, the trophy would add say, 5hp, and you would be "fearless" against any normal thing that might cause fear (what's scarier than lovecraftian horrors?). you don't wear it; all the effects happen simply by having it in your inventory. you would get the "Servant of Azathoth" appearing as a distinction on your character sheet.

there should be a warning before removing it from the inventory of the shog:

"You see endless visions of otherworldy horrors when you touch the shog, but surely a trophy from something like this would bring a great price?"

How do you trigger that? cheers

First you need accept the KRZ book shop merchant quest. Then kill the gang burning books, and for the reward refuse the money and ask for a book. Then you'll get the book.

What to do is more or less explained in the book. I you gave up solve it:
You need got at stone spiral, myself I request companions wait out of the spiral, I have the feeling they can block the spawning. I also wait midnight even if it's probably not required. Then I eat 3 toadstool (2 is perhaps enough). Open the book and browse the pages, then close it and close inventory, then the monster spawns.

I never succeed at first attempt, either there's a detail I don't get and apply randomly, either the spawning is quite sensible. At least you can try as many time you want until the spawns happens.

Cheers! I havent read your spoilers yet :-) Just the part about the quest, I will start there, but I know that if I cant figure things out, the help will be here. Thx buddy.

It's solvable, but a bit boring to read when not in native language, read carefully all. And there's one trickier detail.
