I am running v1.02 of PoG .. but i seem to be stuck in a loop.

I've eliminated the 10 Cyclops, seen the Mayor, talked with the garrison commander again.

And again, and again...

But .. after the 1st response of thanks from the commander, the 2nd (former response before killing the 10 Cyclops comes up .. weird.

So .. what happens is .. i am unable to complete my Knight quest/task to Septemeris' satisfaction; he keeps telling me to go back and take care of the barricades/notify Berglum and Dernath garrisons. I have also previously notified Berglum's garrison using Decimus' name.

So .. what gives? Am i missing something here? I've even consulted the famous and wonderfully comprehensive walkthrough provided by "stark" .. and .. unless my clutch is slipping .. cannot find what has gone wrong.

Needless to say .. help .. please..?

I seems that the one step that you are missing is talking with Gen. Decimus. If you have rescued him from the swamp, he has set up camp just south of Fantrima. Go talk to him and then return to the garrison comanders in Berglum and Dernath. Why should they believe a young upstart (You) unless you can bring them word that their General is alive and needs their help. When you have enlisted their help, you'll need to see the Gen. once more.

Good luck with your game. ~RD

Did you speak with the mayor after killing the cyclops? I can't tell if you did afterwards in addition to before...

Basically the things you have to do to complete this mission:

1. Kill all 10 cyclops (you will get the iron key when you kill the last one which opens the chests on the same screen)
2. Speak to the mayor of Dernath who will reward you for killing them all
3. Rescue Decimus
4. Speak with Decimus and have him send you to Dernath/Berglum and speak in his name
5. Speak with the garisson commander in Dernath using Decimus's name

Usually it is #2 that sticks people up. They talk with him to get the mission but then go right to the garisson commander after killing the cyclops.

Thankyou both for your rapid response.

Well .. per your info .. i can see nothing that i've left out. In fact, i rescued Decimus before i went on the Cyclops toasting spree. After i rescued him, i returned to his encampment near Fantrima and spoke with him. Then i went to Berglum and notified the garrison commander using his name. Then i went on the Cyclops quest, seeing the Mayor of Denarth 1st, then going up and over to the garrison, spoke to the garrison commander, killed the 10 Cyclops, came back out the gate, let the garrison commander know what i had done, went back to the village, spoke with the Mayor, he acknowledged my accomplishment, and then, just to be sure, before leaving Denarth, went up to the garrison commander one more time and notified him. But .. after his congratulatory message, the game puts up the older dialog that is back at the pretext to killing the Cyclops again.

I still don't get it. I'll go back into the game and try making the rounds to Berglum and Dernarth again.

Ok, I just noticed something..

When you say "Garrison commander" are you talking about the guy in the village who lives on the western side of Dernath in the house with the red pendants? Or are you talking about the guy who is guarding the blockade and standing next to the fire up near where the cyclops live?

Make sure you talk to the guy out by the fire/blockade after killing the cyclops. He will thank you and tell you he is going to go to dernath and tell of your deed.

Then talk to the mayor, then go talk to the garrison commander.

Okay .. a big D'OH!!! here on my part ..

I failed to visit the west side of the town of Darnath .. lo and behold .. there was the red-flagged Captain's quarters that i've been missing.

Due to my mental glitch .. i had been taking the commander at the blockade up by the Cyclops to be the garrison Captain .. D'OH!

Okey dokey .. thanks again for your help .. now .. back to Septemeris to get my Knighthood...

Well, I'm glad you got that part solved. I'm going to try to break this next part to you gently. Your Knighthood is still several quests out of reach right now. Take them one step at a time and you will be there soon enough. You have much ground still to cover, enjoy the journey. And I think we missed out on saying earlier, Welcome to the PoG forum. ~RD
