FAQ / Tancred & Ikaemos Swamp

Can anyone help?

I have talked to Galienne and received orders to talk w/ Tancred in the old city for a map to Ikaemos swamp. I CANNOT find his house in the old city. Where is it located? Probably something stupid that I'm doing or not doing........

Speaking of which, after finding out that Tancred's been poisoned, where are you supposed to find that chick in the white robe responsible for the whole fiasco? Isn't it kind of pointless to try and find her then anyway, since Tancred's kicked the bucket? I suppose for revenge's sake, it's a good idea though.

I have tried to find Mahri to get the map and queen Gallienne and Tancred. I have not been able to find any of them. I am up to that point in the game and I am unable to do anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated

First you must go to the Palace and talk to the queen. Then Go to Tancred's Haven(in the Old City) and talk to Mahri. She will tell you how to get the map.
By the way, I had a hard time finding Tancreds Haven. It's towards the back and in a little alcove. There's a guy standing out in front of it with a patch on one eye.
I hope this helps! Good luck!

Once you have the map in your posession, Ikaemos Swamp will be located in the southeastern section of Medeva (the continent you're on).

Hey Iven,

Playing through the game again until I get back my loaned Arcanum (for the PC) game from a friend...

I've just done the Swamp again for the XP (goofing off until I think I'm ready to head East again) and I had Flece pick the lock on a door I believe one of the keys is for...

I explored the heck out of the place and never seemed to need the (unused) key...that must be the door the key is for.

I don't think you missed anything

Unfortunately, there's nothing in the room with the 5-6 locked doors. I got really frustrated with that room as well because it actually serves no useful purpose.

And once again, I'm moving some more messages to this FAQ:

From Lenele head southwest. Its next to a fork in the river. Happy hunting.

Yeah, and the other bitch of a thing is you have to get the Fire Ring AND have fought the Horseman before the swamp will appear on your map. There's no way to really cheat and enter certain areas ahead of the game plan time.

Really? I got to Ikaemos before I went to Khosani... Well... I guess I'm lucky. But I still finished the Khosani Part first before I went to the Ikaemos Swamp. It will be easier if you went to the Khosani first anyway.



SerialZero

Yeah, you can still go see the Khosani before you enter the swamp. That's not a problem. But unfortunately, you HAVE to get the Ring before you can even enter the swamp. I remember before I acquired the Ring, I searched all over the damned map for the Ikaemos Swamp, and couldn't find it anywhere. Then I got the Ring and BOOM! Suddenly, there it is. I noticed that happens with a lot of other missions too. If you don't finish a particular leg of the adventure, you can't enter certain areas yet. Bummer.

This is weird....as soon as I left lenele just after getting the map I went south west to the swamp and entered it straight away I went even tried looking for the fire ring. I'm in the palace and looking for the last dagger now. Couldn't any of you reach this before getting the fire ring?

If you want to do all of the side quests it's better to get the ring of stone (Ikeamos) first before the ring of fire (Khosani)

Huh. I didn't know you could enter areas like Ikaemos Swamp ahead of schedule. I tried going there before I got any of my rings, but the swamp wasn't on the map yet. Maybe it's different for the PC version?

Ah, you're looking for the Cupric dagger. I believe it may be in one of the alternate floor offshoots. On the north and south end of the map there should be stairs leading into other areas. One end hides a dagger you're looking for. The other end holds absolutely nothing of interest.

There aren`t anyone at Tancreds`haven? I`ve searched whole old city dozen times and only one woman (without !!)is talking that Tancred might be ill... I have 3 rings allready and nowhere else to go...

Finally, it took just 4 days, I`ve searching wrong house...

"It's not just you. I couldn't find it for like 10 min. You know the upper walkway??? Find that and follow it till you see a man standing in front of a door (thief-looking) but he is on ground level. To get to him memorize the location on the map and get to the ground level. While on ground level just go back to the place where you saw the thief. You can you this strategy to find lots of locations. Hope this could help you!!!"

So, behind that guy is a door that can be opened...
