    like the title says, I`m here, where do I go? I tried going north, south and west. haven`t tried east yet cuz I`m sick of running around pointlessly.

    Also I heard Azram`s star is useless for tech characters, is that true?

    If I remember correctly, you have to blow out the candles in one of the rooms for the entrance/chest/whatever to appear (that could be the master bow quest though).

    Azrams star is a magickal weapon and thus not that great if you're a tech character since you won't benefit from the magick boni. My suggestion is that you look up the Old Blind Master, just be prepared for a tough fight.

    Thats the thing, I don`t see any rooms or anything, just trees. I walked all around in and out of rthose little groves and found nothing.

    hah my bad, the entrance was to my right or the east, the only way I didn`t go before. I finally found it.

    I went in and like I read in other posts you have to put out the torches in some stupid order I think. I tried what I thought might have been almost all combinations and just gave up. My character`s tech anyway so apparently Azram`s Star is useless for me. I was going to get it and kill Clarissa Shalmo with it, ha ha. I`ll show that stuck up bitch who the throwing master is.

    There is a passage off in the trees just to the right of where you start off, and this leads into the area.

    I have a problem with this quest, myself. I'm using a chakram, and get to the canal with the plaguish beastie and the first three lights. For some reason, I cannot target any of the flames with my weapon, although I can kill the beastie easily. I am an expert in throwing with five skill points, and I do have the quest in my book. But I cannot attack any of the flames. Very frustrating. I am running the final patch, so I don't know what the bug is.

    You can hit the torches with any kind of thrown explosives.

    Wouldn't you know it, my char has zero levels in explosives tech. I can't recall anywhere to buy grenades, either.

    Have you tried pressing alt while you attack?

    You can throw any item. Get a bunch of bread or something small, then throw it from your inventory at the torches.

    I was starting to get annoyed... I dragged my sorry ass all the way back to Tarant and made up a bunch of molotovs, schlepped back to the quest site, and put out the light with the cocktail... but didn't get teleported anywhere. However, the solution of pressing "alt" while attacking did the job... I could even put the light out with my chakram! Live and learn.

    Thanks for the help.

    I need help with this.

    I have hit the center torch - gone to its complex, run through it, put out the left torch which returns you to the main area, then hit the right torch which teleports me to 3 locked doors which I bashed down and then there is a place of pitch blackness and 3 more torches surrounded by darkness - which I can't reach ..... no entrance, no way to get in or hit them.

    What do you do at this point????

    Run like hell and hope no one is following you?

    Nah, seriously: this whole Azram Star maze thing is a big puzzle. Just hit the stuff that can be hit in different orders and sooner or later you'll get the right combination.

    It's a classic example of a BAD puzzle, IMO, since there are no clues you can find or logical means of determining the order in which the torches have to be snuffed. It can only be solved by trial and error, which is tedious.

    It is for things like this that walkthroughs were made, IMO.
