    Has anyone else tried to invade Tulla and go for Spell College mastery while evil? I've walked to the location on the map, found the city, killed the gatekeeper (it was the only way to get the gate to work), and now everyone attacks me on sight. Which is fine, except that when confronting the Spell College Masters, I can only recover the amulets of spell colleges for which I haven't learned any spells. For the colleges I do know, the Masters don't seem to be wearing the amulets. Additionally, I have no way to get into the final room -- not for Pelojian's Amulet quite so much, but to use the teleport gates (to find Quintarra, etc).

    Does anyone have suggestions to get the amulet I want, get into the final room, or a way into the city without killing the gatekeeper?

    I guess the only way to do it, is to say the CPs needed for the colleges you want, and then to go in, get the amulets, and then master the colleges.

    Or you could use an editor of some sort to give you the amulets, although I don't know where you'd get one.

    Actually, it's when you *have*any or all of the spells in a certain college that the Master doesn't have the amulet on his person. So Character Points aren't going to do anything that I can tell.

    Or is it a question then of not being of high enough a level to be let into Tulla? I thought you have to talk to Nasrudin first. Charm and Dominate Will don't work, the gate doesn't let you enter until you've been approved by the gatekeeper or you've killed him, and there are no other conversation options.

    I've attained Mastery in other run-throughs, but this one (playing evil) really frosts mycookies. :(

    Thanks for trying.

    TUlla doesn't open their door to "anyone". It seems to be part of the "main" plot line, so you have to wait to be "sent" there.

    After you talk to Nasdurin and Tulla becomes a Quest (not a rumor) then you can enter peacefully.

    I went in as good and aftter I entered the city I decided that I wanted all the magical items for myself, so I rampaged the whole city and looted all.
    I said this because I found out that not all Masters have Medallions.

    Some masters do not have Medallions on them. I am no magic user, I used to be a thief, in fact. So maybe there is no medallion for the school of magic that you are looking for ...

    Or maybe that is the quest that you need to fulfill to become a master: retrieve the lost and forgotten medallion from the claws of an evil creature!

    The teleportation portals, on the other hand, only worked AFTER you retrieve the object that Nasdurin requests you to obtain. If you have not encountered Nasdurin and you do not know what object I am talking about, then I can only say I hope you haven't killed him.

    You need to complete this quest to be able to enter Tulla peacefully and for the portals to work after you complete the other quest.


    Hope this helps.

    Someone did it with invisibility. The point of the mastery quests is that you get the amulet which takes you through the portal.

    Well, you can't really go anywhere if you killed Nasrudin.

    You don't walk through the gate in the center of Tulla - you go to the swirly purple circle inside the temple (by the Mural). I was confused about this too, since the gate in the courtyard is used for the Faal K'in quest.

    I can spell pruple.

    On a serios note, you can only be a master if you have 5 points on the particular sphere (I.E. force)
