looking for help - castle of knives

[Yucku-Ninja]

still need some advice so im re posting.

I cant find the portal with the horned one to advance the story. checking guides it isnt in the spot im being told its supposed to be... ive cleared the whole knives area and completed assembling the crown quest. in searching for what might be bugged i did find one reference about a green dragon in that area and that if you kill it before talking to the horned one you screw the quest... but i did not fight a green dragon, so yea. Am i just supposed to wait for a bit and move kingdom time forward? help its pretty frustrating!

Green dragon is presumably the large Crag Linnorm which you must have encountered if you have finished the crown quest since it holds one of the pieces of said crown. Exit portal "should" be to the east of where you fought it.

I did this section last night and definitely killed it before meeting the horned one. After killing the two jabberwock thingies he summoned the portal should be there.

Have you been told by Linzi to go to Thousand Voices in a kingdom event yet? If not I don't think the portal will be there. You'll know if you're at the right point in the kingdom timeline if you're getting spammed by "First World" event cards from a certain someone. If that's not happening I reckon you're too early.

ok that makes sense as linzi hasnt offered up that quest. thanks so much for the heads up!

How do you kill the Linnorm? With me it falls unconscious but still lives no matter how much damage we deal it. It regenerates 10 hp per round but we're dealing more. Acid and fire don't kill it as with trolls. Is this a bug?

[Terra_Ex]

Cold Iron weapon should kill it

[Maestro Gradius]

Was there some kind of hint in the game on how to kill it that I missed? I went through all my books and the ones sold at the barony. I talked to everyone. Read the beastiary etc

Sometime in your loading scree they say the monstrous Craig Linnorm could be killed by a could iron wapon, it removes the regeneration.

[TaKo]

wouldnt a confirmed crit kill a beast with regeneration too? even without using the element/material required?

[JODEGAFUN]

You can also use an attribute drain wapon, it got killed if one reach 0.

As Jodegafun pointed out, stat drain is your friend. I ALWAYS have a Rogue with Crippling Strike in the party. As far as I know, it will eventually kill absolutely anything in the game with Regeneration.

But I do think that they should add something where if a creature gets to -500, it just dies. I mean at that point your party knows that it regenerates, and has cropped it into a paste that can be put into bags and buried miles apart.
