Car Arcanum - Locations

Is there a list of new locations for Car Arcanum? I've found a few of the easier locations such as the Half Orc village, the old prison, the haunted village and the location of the Red Bangdellion scourge, but I read of other locations such as the Assasin's village and something to do with Robin Hood????

 

There is and there's two ways to get the list.

1) When you first meet a wandering merchant, notice a line of dialog that says "Is wilderness trading easy?"; that will lead to you learning of the Assassins' Village. At around level 30 you can teleport (NO overland access!) into the village, clean it out and then the next merchant you meet, tell him the good news. He will mark your map with places of interest.

2) At level 35, return to the crash site, go to the shack and read the book on the stone pedestal. That will mark them all on your map.

Keep in mind - Chris added other places that are not on the list, like sewers in Derholm and Black Root, so keep your eyes open, and expect the worst.....

 

Thank you. It sounds so easy now. Absolutely loving the patch. Bit short on decent weapons.

 

At the Assassin's Village is a modified hushed pistol called a Divine Fire Pistol. Heavy damage + a small explosion! I'm in love with that thing!

 

Have found the Hushed revolver and I too have fallen in love with it. Unaffected by Magic or tech level as well. Fantastic.
One other thing ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED?

 

Yep! In the cargo hold of the ship. Look carefully, it is a bit dark, hiding in a shadow, and therefore easily overlooked.

 

I've tried the other dialogs with good success. You have to be persistant to get the car to not join you.

Hey Tony.... Read http://terra-arcanum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=12654 if you do want the car and wish to keep playing after the battle with Kergan. It'll save you a whole lot of grief.

 

Appearances can be deceiving.

 

uch: In the ship cargo hold. No wonder I couldn't find it. I've been into the cargo hold once, but tend to use half Ogre's to store equipment so never felt the need for the cargo hold. Don't actually want the car, but I just didn't know where it was. Thank you Rroyo.

 

You are welcome, Tony.

But on the plus side: Beau - coup carrying capacity as the car, and a nicely powerful mage when you get to the Void. Add to that, you can sleep inside the car while you are in dungeons.

 

Hmmmm. Even after all the times I played Car-Arcanum, I never knew you could sleep in the dungeons. Call it carry-over thinking from the original game.

 

Wouldn't be be a hoot if that was the game's big glitch?

The permanency trick for Arcanum. Dungeon resting for Car-Arcanum.

 

Okay so I went to 1000 X 1000 and after a bit of searching found some very strange shit:

- A bunch of Earth Elementals who showed up as Insects on the HUD when you clicked on them (pathetically easy kills).

- An elf woman with no clothes carrying a Helaing Salve that looked like a Large Apple.

- A lot of explosives and bombs liying around.

- A strange purple-blue blob on the floor that you can't pick up.

- A Grenade launcher

- Some other biyts and pieces.


Is that what you were talking about rroyo?

By the way...where the entrances to the Dernholm and Blackroot Sewers?

 

OK - you found what I was talking about. That strange purple blob was a test for the CAR.

As for the sewers: In Dernholm, right as you get to town, look to the left. There is a manhole cover. There's your entrance. You can exit at a couple of others, but that first one is the easiest to find.

Blackroot: There is three entrances and two exits. One is right in front of the mayor's place. Look for a man-hole on the left side by a tree. The second is at the train depot slightly behind the ticket counter, and the third is between the tavern/inn and the magic shop.
The last two are possible death-traps for beginners, so the safest one would be at the mayor's place. It has no exit but is reasonably safe for a bit.

Beware of Pikeys.......

As promised in another thread, here's a couple goodies I have discovered on Chris' map.

1) Shrouded Hills. From Althea's place follow the river south until you come to a dingy. Use the dingy to get to an island in the middle of the river.

Sorry I couldn't post a picture, but there are several barrels and a naked woman there - among other things.

You won't believe what all is in the barrels.

Also - there are tons of things scattered around Shrouded Hills but they have been turned off with no script attached.

2) Tarant. South of the Boil is the two stone houses just before the bridge. The one on your left has a usable bed. The one on the right has three safes and a non-usable bed. You probably know about the safes but never tried the other bed.

And that seems to be the extent of it.
