[SPOILER] Chapter 8 Gameplay Help Thread...

[Raiff]

David A Turel

It's not the greenhouse where I'm trapped. I'm stuck in the area directly outside the mansion (you first arrive there and then return along the way to get the Heart Seeker spear). The window which I used to get into the area's now out of reach and the regular entrance requires I enter the spectral realm. A golden door (like the ones that materialized in the library) blocks my way on the inside of the mansion when I'm in spectral and there's no way to phase back.
I apologize for posting so much everyone. This is just very frustrating.

[David A Turel]

I see... dangthat IS a problem.... Hopefully this will work:

can't remember where the closest portal is... essentially if you're at the point I'm thinking you are, you need to be in the phisical real in order to tk (when looking at the front entrance of the mansion) a pillar in the right corner..... if you have done that already, there should be a climbable wall right there in that corner that will grant you access to the path above that has a portal near the end.

[Raiff]

I have no problem at all finding a portal in the area directly outside the mansion or a little outside the 2nd spear room. My problem lies within the fact that to gain access to the main mansion, you need to be in spectral to phase through the bars that line the broken window. In that area inside there's a golden door I don't remember being there before which blocks my spectral path and the only portals back to the material world are outside, past the barred window. Quite a pickle.

There is 2 portals. One at the bottom near the entrance between the first 2 pillars. One on the roof top to the right after you climb the scaleable wall you have to run back to where the pillars are and the 2nd portal is there. After that you should have no problem accessing the pillar that elevates you to the highest point.

[The Amazing Rando]

If you're in the room with the second piece, you have to turn the four pillars to make the lift in the middle operate. To save you some time from random "check every possibility" method, I'll give you a hint: The walls have eyes.

Hope that helps, took me a little bit to figure that part out at first as well. Just had to take a step back and think about what I was doing.

read my post to Turel..

Yes, I am already aware of this. However, getting on that pillar or to the otherside of the elevated walkway, doesn't get me access to the rest of the mansion, only to a part of it that doesn't lead anywhere except to the Heart Seeker room, and I already seem to have done everything I can there. My question is how do I get back into the main section of the mansion, where I can access the fountain?

[Raiff]

Alright... something strange just happened that I'm fairly sure was a bug. I was jumping around barred window entrance (in the material realm) when I found myself inside the mansion. The only problem is that the golden door is still there and even in the material realm I can't get by it. It seems I may be painted into a bug corner. I think I might have to start the game from the beginning and try not to let this happen the next time I get to Vorador's mansion. What an enormous pain.

[Chris Mishima]

Thank you. You just saved me about 2 more hours of running around in circles.

I'd been in that room several times and felt certain that I had to grab that orb. And it seems all I have to do is move the big unmovable looking pillars! How stupid of me!

I just played to where you were stuck in the first place.. I just went through the bars at the main enterance that were used when you first entered vorador's mansion. I went through spectral and walked right up to the same place where you go when you first enter the mansion to get back to the physical realm. I think you were trying to go through the bars on the right side where you came through. Which was not the right way. If you ran into a door it must have been a bug because it just worked for me.

nah dude..

when you enter this room in the spectral.. there is a port that's hidden behind one of the barrels at the base of the stairs. It took me a while to find it too.. but this is where clicking the right toggle switch helps. It gives you a much clearer view on everything in the room.

[Apocrypha Roxy]

In Vorador's mansion, as Raziel, I'm looking for the room with the third spear, and the Water Forge... I presume the room with the statues/spears is the water forge?

Where's the third spear?

EEDit: I read up a bit, and I realize where the third spear is, now. Where is the larger part of Vorador's crest? Quickly! I must destroy! Muahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! -koff-

-taps foot patiently- Any day now, folks...

(lastrazielim, I suggest you put spoiler tags over that post, you're gonna spoil some stuff. Sorta did, for me. )

[Jason711]

im not really sure if anybody has asked this yet... there are so many posts.. here goes anyway..

i just got out of the mansion and it says to go to avernus... i have no idea how to get there... im at the pillars.. now what?

[Jason711]

thanks last...

[Reaver of Souls]

Stuck in, you guessed it, Voradors Mansion...

I am currently trying to turn the last dark orb (thru the fire door by the entrance to the water forge) into light (it is hiding inside a fireplace) and I cannot get thru the frie, or behind it, or turn it off, I don't know what to do, Help please...

There's a stone in the corner of the room.... strike it with the dark reaver enough to fully charge it, turn invisible and step into the fireplace (there's a crow head that lights up the flames as soon as you step near it if you're not invisible

vorador's mansion

i can't figure out for the life of me how to hit that last fricking orb that's in the chandelier. i smacked all my buttons and somehow made the vampire girl produce the spear and i put that in the first fountain, which unlocked the first vorador peice. i'm guessing that i STILL need to fricking get this last dark orb tho and i can't figure out how the heck to HIT that stupid swirling thing with telekenesis. i know it's above the chandelier but i ccan't figure out HOW TO MOVE THE CAMERA!! TO HIT IT. oh my god thsi is so frustrating to see it in first person, or to get at an angle to see, but i can't shoot the darn thing... ARGGGG. anyway i just want to know how to shoot this telekenesis thing for the chandelier. thanks

[Apocrypha Roxy]

I have 4 of 6 torches lit, and I don't know where the last 2 are. I search high and low. Where are they? I don't want to be stuck here no more!

-whines-

Pleeeeeeeeeeese somebody help me???

[Tesla]

ok, um,

i beat that last part, but it seemed like i must have had a bug or something to have her release the spear early. now i have no clue where i'm stuck i guess. i'm in vorador's mansion. i got the first spear from the ancient vampire. i've grabbed the first part of vorador's crest and placed it. i've gone into the sewer area and i think the next area might be here?? below where u grab the first peice in the water is what looks like a possibly crumbly wall and then there's also a gate to i don't know what. i'm not completely out of ideas where to go. helps! thanks

It's the black punching bag looking thing in the corner. Hit it until you're fully charged then press and hold the attack button, square or X depending on xbox or ps2, then you become invisible and you can get past the gargoyles

you know where i'm supposed to go next?

[Jedilvr]

Tesla if your at Voradors and you just got the first spear then I might be able to help. Here goes:
To get the first spear you went to the room with the fountain and then went through the door that is on the ledge to the left side when facing the statue of Vorador. You use the Air Reaver to create a gust of wind and float up to the ledge. To get the second spear go back to that fountain room but go throught the door on the right side, opens with the Fire Reaver. After that you'll end up at the greenhouse and take it form there.
Hope that helped.

Edit: Red letters and spoiler tags don't mix.

[Jedilvr]

Maybe you're jumping from too far back. Or maybe just a bad angle.

And while you're on the floor, go through the front door and TK the Vorador statue, you'll find something behind it.

[One_Winged_Angel]

I apoligize if this has already been asked, but I seem to have got myself a little lost, and slightly frustrated.

I have just finished the first cutscene with Vorador, when he gives Raziel the Library Seal. I can't find anywhere that I can use the bloody thing, I've already ran around hacking up Revenants like a mad man for hours but still haven't found the library.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

First time post, and I appear to be stuck at a place I have not seen covered in this thread, so here goes.

I'm at my second go of Vorador's mansion after I have the heart of darkness. I've made it to the courtyard and knocked over the pillar with the air reaver dealie underneath it. I take it to the balcony above (on the side I came from) but cannot seem to advance here... the pillar is out of my reach... although I seem to remember being on it and shifting into spectral to jump to the other pillars across. But I missed my jump, and had to shift back into material... have not been able to get on the pillar again. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

ok wait, how do i get there ? do i have to jump across these pillars to go from on side of the roof to the other? (outside the mansion where you had to shatter the window to get in cuz the door is stuck). do i do it in spectral? where do i go? ? i've only gotten 1 spear so far.

edit: i made it, i was just making poor jumps before :/

[dtepes]

Tesla, this is past the part your're at..

I've taken countless jumps at this pillar and I keep bouncing off the edge of it. It's as if after I did that first shift into spectral and failed my jump and came back, the pillar shifted again... if this is a bug, I'm gonna' scream. The fire forge bug in SR 2 hit me, and I had to replay all that again..
