    It can come out now that's I'm Arcanum newbie, since I'm still puzzled, for what a secret location there was done. To be more clear, I can say it's lower than a pass where Shaman is staying, but on the same "latitude" and it's divided from mountains. That's a small rocky area and it's seen on the map. Can you enlight me?

    Are you talking about that bit of mountain at the bottom-left of the picture?

    As far as I've been able to tell, it's just a piece of extra scenery.

    Yes, that's it. What's more, a music of Tzen-Ang can be heard there sometimes, and I was puzzled also with this. I think that supposed to Those-man-in-the-cave-dead's gold he was offering you, but Troika changed the plans and forgot to remove it.

    I just took a moment and fired up World Ed to check this out.
    It's nothing more than a mix of mountain facades arranged to form a sort of "funnel". Beyond that, it's still in the same sector as the south wall of the crash site, and thus it should have the same music and ambient sounds. Anything else would be a minor glitch.

    Dante: No such luck. You can't get there from here.

    Edit 1 minute later: I think I just figured this out! When I was trying my hand at adding a desert mountain, I would occasionally get a facade that wouldn't quite work where I wanted it to. I'd just pull it off to one side and try another - and another - and so on. Then I'd go back and paint over the facades. I'll bet that whoever built the crash site was doing the same and either forgot this scrapheap or just didn't bother to clean up the mess.

    It's sad to say so, but no... :cry: In past I thought there's some mystery around Charles Brego or how his name is, and now I must admit that he is a typical bastard too stupid to take all money before his comrade kills him.

    If you're thinking of Arbalah, he says he can't give you anything for reward if you accept his quest, yet you receive a blessing if you complete it.

    Yes, and that's exactly what I was saying. When you accept the quest he says he won't be able to reward you for your efforts.

    You'll get screwed, 'cause he's lying about that treasure. Pushes your alignment towards evil though, especially if you confess to liking murdering innocents.

    I do both sides of the quest for twice the experience.

    First agree to Arbalah's side then after you complete his quest and get the blessing, you can kill him and talk to Brego for double the expirience! (And kill Simon for fun, that way everyone suffers)
