Can I clear Wintry and Entropic Halls? [Spoilers]

[contributor]

So I cleared out Wintry Halls and got the message that we should return to first pool for a little rendez-vous with Ellista. I realized though, that I can slip around that pool and get into Entropic Halls as well. I like to clear everything out and I'm afraid that after I talk with E again I'll be whisked away again and won't get to clear it all. On the other hand, I'm concerned that clearing Entropic Halls before talking to Ellsta will wreck something game-wise if I kill more of her circle off.

You can clear the entropic halls without consequence. I am not sure what happens if you talk to Ellista before you do, I can't remember if you are allowed to wander the zone after.

You have to talk to Ellista a total of three times before you're whisked away. It sounds like you've cleared one side. Go ahead and talk to her because it's a fake out and you'll be directed to the second side anyway. After clearing the second side and then talking to Ellista, you'll be dumped into a cut scene that will exit you. I'm not sure what would happen if you cleared the second half of the circle before talking to Ellista again.

This is the key line.

It looks like I'm going to find out. Having killed the first Lady (Is this an Iron Maiden reference?) in the second halls I get nothing when I approach the central pool now. It looks like I skipped the second dialogue with her there. I hope that doesn't break anything.

contributor - should be all set, but your decision to go kill another one of the Iron Circle is a clear indicator that you didn't want to negotiate. So, she took the offer off the table.

[contributor]

This group's one rule is "Kill everygody you can." So yeah, negotiate wouldn't really have been an option. I'm not sure how this all works out in the end, but when they said that she has to put her hand in the pool, my first thought was, "does it have to be alive?" Cuz we could have saved a lot of time if it doesn't need to be attached to a warm body.

Lol Huge +1 for that

Interesting. This seems to imply that you can negotiate with her and not battle the iron circle. Am I understanding that correctly? If so, maybe the dialogue can be tweaked to make it clear that is a story choice?

I played that content and battle seemed inevitable.

phaze - I was simply narrating to help contributor understand how the story event system reacts to his "avoid the pool" action.

Thanks for clarifying.

Just a quick question, as I work on an E4 map. From which maps can I access the Otherworldly Haven? I did it from walled Braeyshalum, but I'm pretty sure there are other places you can get there from. I'm not about to get 4 groups to E4 just to try different things though. Oh and make sure to tell me the map name, not just the character who gets you there. Thanks for any help with this.

- Sedollan Highlands
- Storm Bastion
OR
- Infested Darkmoss

Thanks fallen. Is it Sedollan Highlands, the level off of Storm Bastion in E3 or Sedollan Foothills, the level off of Gloomer's Path?

Whoops, my bad -- Sedollan Foothills, off the Gloomer's Path.
