Haunted Mine Update

[Psycho_Robot]

I recently tried to get a second Salve Amulet for bank organization purposes, and that that experience showed me how poorly the quest guide aided those who needed to re-obtain a salve amulet, so I propose a new section be added to the quest guide.

 

 

 

[hide=Getting another Salve Amulet]1. Pickpocket Zealot to get a Zealot's Key.

 

 

 

2. Head south and you should see a mining cart track heading into the mine. The track is blocked to the mine by a mining cart, climb over it and enter the mine.

 

 

 

3. Once inside, head west until you see a ladder close to another cart tunnel. Go down the ladder.

 

 

 

4. Go north-east and down the ladder there. Now go west, and down the ladder there, and you should see the mine cart from before.

 

 

 

5. Search it to find the fungus, and then go back up the ladder. Head east, and make your way to the ladder going down, watch out though, there's another cart moving around there!

 

 

 

6. Once you're down there, take the eastern road, and you should end up at a water valve. Make sure you have 80%+ energy left, and then use the Zealot's Key on the valve, after this, run into the lift and make it take you down. If you are not quick enough a ghost will turn the valve off again and you will have to head back and use the key on the valve again.

 

 

 

7. You should now be plunged in a chamber filled with water. Go east and down the stairs. In the middle of the room there's a crate with an "innocent looking key" on it. Take it. You will not be attacked again.

 

 

 

8. Go through the east door, up the stairs, west until you get to another set of stairs, go down these.

 

 

 

9. There's a large door on the south side, go in, and head south-east until you find some crystal outcrops. Cut some (using your chisel), and you've completed the quest. Note that if you drop shards as you cut them, you can get as many as you want, then pick them all up. If you want to enchant your Salve Amulet again, and you do not have Tarn's diary, you must navigate his lair again where it spawns in his study, or you can simply get it from your Player Own House's book case.[/hide]

 

 

 

Note that most of the things I said are directly taken from the main quest guide, but re-arranged.

Different update, same quest...

 

 

 

I WAS able to teleport out despite the bold note saying I would not be able to...

 

 

 

I hid behind a stack of crates immediately to the left of the area where the key is found in the boss room. I was hit once cancelling the tele, but the second time was the charm and I teleported out. I did not try a one click teleport, but perhaps magic is not effective, while items may be? I'll try taking an ectophial in next time in case I have to tele out.

 

 

 

It should be noted that I restocked and tried to go back, but I had to get another fungus and go through the whole process of getting back to the boss room again. You should also wait at least 30 minutes in order to make sure you have that home teleport option again...

 

 

 

I recommend using the salt pools for unlimited run before taking the fungus out of the cart and heading down to the room.

 

 

 

A tactics section or effective weapon suggestion would be nice...I haven't found anything in three tries that does well...he seems to teleport after one "contact" from your character regardless of whether it does damage or not. He's kicking my tail.

I cannot remember if you can get two salve amulets anymore or not. (Many people have them from the "old days".) If someone can test this that would be great.

Are you able to drop the salve crystal and mine another? that's how I obtained doubles last year but It might have been changed...

Yeah that is possible, did it a week ago.
