Unsolved Mysteries in U7:BG

Post by Annorax »

Hello, everyone. Here are some things I have never been able to solve. Has anyone solved any of these things below?

-There is a little island above Skara Brae with some pillars. By walking into the centre of it, you get struck by lightning. Does anyone know what this does?

-Is there any way to open to door on the west side of the jeweler’s shop in Britain?

-What does the red/blue key in Gregor’s house in Minoc do?

Using Exult I can reach thru the jeweler's bars like Inspector Gadget or Plastic Man. Never opened any of the doors. I could do the same in the bank, and pick locks.

I tried teleporting there... it's basically a small building with no roof, and pillars all around. Strangely enough, when going in its middle, under the roofless part, you don't just get struck by lightning, but it even starts raining while outside it it's good weather... really wierd. I've no explanation for it.

I thought that the pillars on that island didn't do anything. But does anyone know of a way to get into the vault in the jewellers shop or what the red/blue key in Gregor's house in Minoc does??

Noone can tell you where that key goes, you have to see it for yourself.

Here's a though: You can use ExultStudio to find all the doors and chests in the game, so you can try the key on all of them.

Or add some code to the exult loading functions to tell you where doors/chests are located with the same quality as the key. (I've actually done that once already ;-) )

There are no keys on the main map (or in containers) which open that door. (That doesn't say anything about usecode-created items or usecode-triggered events)

I can't see any doors or chests which that key opens.

No, but there is a way to unlock the door on the East Side...


'course, that would involve going through the Serpent Pillars, but it is technically possible.
