(Spoilers) Eternal Torch and shards

[YM2612]

Ferryman told me about body part - it was before I met Yngwar.

Can you ask him about this again?

Maybe you need to do something specific before you can even ask about it.
Or maybe it's one time dialogue line and I either didn't pay enough attention or forgot what he said.

[fire_lizard]

Just checked it - no such dialogue option.

Hey,

He gets more and more talkative as you progress  thorough the primary expedition storyline. When i needed to go to L2 he was a friendly old guy. Just chit chat with him till he tells you about the shard.

I got a statusupdate : I got the shard (It was in the throat.) and a spike from the statue at the entrance of the black sea. I think i need the spike. Correct me if i'm wrong. So now where do i have to take these 2 items?  To Azif? Anyway, does anyone know where i could find the psibeetlebrain in a jar? I need it for my collection of unique items.

Habe a nice day! <3

You do not need Broken-Off spike to get ethereal torch which is very useful against some otherwise invulnerable creatures.
I still wondering what Broken-Off spike for.
And about black shard, you need to go to Azif and he will produce torch from black shard for you.

I still wondering what Broken-Off spike for.

Hey, so I took the Broken-Off Spike to Quinton at SGS and he had some new dialogue regarding the spike, talking about how it was basically a carbonized fragment of the idiot that tried to hit the Monolith with a mining pickaxe. So, I think the spike is just for flavor text. I haven't finished the Expedition yet, so I don't know if perhaps there is more you can do with it, but for now it seems like just an easter egg or silly addition into the game. There's no dialogue with Azif about it, and since I've already finished the base game I can't ask Six about it, so IDK if there's more to it than that. I think it's just supposed to make you laugh.

[fire_lizard]

Maybe, but it's description says it's a key. So (I still hope) it opens somehing.

[fane]

I am trying to find the use of the spike to.
Two things lead to the spike beside what is under that rock compulsive curiosity.
Svana SGS ferry captain with the story about the man from the north who was messing with the statue.(possibly the former owner of the Core City manor )
Yngvar and his dead brother story and subsequent shedding of his skin.
Found only two people to comment about it and that is carbon not much else.
Had no luck further then that in a Aegis play.
Anyone knows where Yngvar goes after he sheds his serpent scales ?

How does this bone crank look like? Where can it be found?


Upd: Found it  finally)

Where did you found it? do you have to check inside the graves or something?

[CaptainMajor]

It just standed near the wall

I'm stuck on this quest. I got the rune sketch but didn't note the body part when I spoke to Yngwar. Ferryman isn't giving me any options, if he gave it in the previous dialogs I missed it.

I reloaded an old save and got "nose" from Yngwar. When I reloaded my current save, "nose" = nothing unusual. I then proceed to brute force every option and every option results in "nothing unusual"... Any other options?

[zenor]

I've found rune that matched the one on hammer, also acquired crank and talked with Ferryman. He said "left shoulder", and I've checked both left and right just in case and found nothing. Also examined back of the left shoulder of each corpse in the graveyard with no result. Guess I need Yngwar's sketch after all, but he never gave it to me and left the cave after our conversation. Oh well, it looks like another decent run goes straight into a bin.

Possibly this is just exaggerated disappointment, but in case you're actually confused: the shard is just a fun little extra. It's not necessary or even important. It's kinda cool, but you can forget about it, go on with your run, and pick it up some other game.

[zenor]

pick it up some other game

I've imported this character in a new game, obtained the sketch and found shard relatively quickly. It seems brute-force just wouldn't work, at least in 1.1.0.12, cause I'm pretty sure I checked everything before.

[Albino]

Just wanna add something here, I've found the bone crank in two different locations:

1. up against a wall
2. already attatched to one of the mechanisms that pull up corpses

so your best bet is to just check all of the cranes (i forgot what they're called), right click them and select detatch bone crank, or just look around the walls to see if it spawned there instead.

Someone mentioned that it can be found in pots as well, though i seriously doubt that because it just wouldn't make sense for it to be stored there in the first place. Also, opening the pots is gonna spawn angry ghost nords.
