Hello I have been playing for a while and I have basically been stuck for ages. I keep quitting the game out of frustration and come back to it in a few days/weeks or whatever, time and time and time again I am stuck on one stupid thing that i have spend many many many many many weeks if not accumulated months desperately trying to find out where the f**ing hell FORT IKON and INQUISITER CREED is… I basically cannot progress anymore I have trapced all over the stupid maps 20 to 30 times covering every stupid conceivable nook and cranny.
Can someone please explain in f**ing plain english where I find the stupid place i have to go to find the INQUISTER CREED at FORT IKON … .its been on my stupid missions list for months.
Can someone please help me… any images or help i ever find online I can never seem to match the maps or what people are saying with what I am saying… can someone please from the main big world map show my which rift gate to go to first… then once in that area EXACTLY where to go please please please before I totally uninstall this game forever.
Its such a dam shame a great game turns into an utter dire mess, I mean what the hell are the developers thinking creating such a big area game with little to no proper waypoints or even hints as to where this or that is.
sorry for my anger but this waypoint system or sever lack of is gone beyond a joke now… its game breaking… no two ways of saying… utterly game breaking.:furious:
Calm down mate. Honestly, I think the one to blame is you, hope you don’t get offended but google is free.
You can find a walkthrough here, or simply just google “Inquisitor Creed at Fort Ikon”.
calm down you say? well if your answer is to “go read the manual” attitude what is the point in this forum. Why not just have a parking page on the index page with big bold text “oh just go read the manual, we couldn’t be arsed helping in any constructive way”
anyway thanks for your wonderful advice, clearly didnt read my post properly (or just not bothered)… where I clearly state I have spent many weeks googling… dont you f**ink think i have come across the link you so lazily pasted 100 times over the past few weeks and many many many more pages besides it.
Before you post advice such as “OH go read the manual” perhaps read the post properly… or even better if you have nothing to say, at least of help dont say anything at all… I am perfectly prepared to wait for someone who is willing to “actually” help in any way they can to get me unstuck from this situation.
perhaps I might get a better constructive and meaningful response if I try contact the devs themselves… sheeesh forums these days… wow
no wonder i left it right to the last min to even sign up on a forum.
typical attitude from experienced people looking down on others and turning their noses up at them or fobbing them off simply because their level of understanding may be not as advanced as you.
your precious in club… never willing to help outsiders of your little precious club
You killed that Kharozz-dude (the last big Boss you fought) but missed to notice the way behind him opened after his death. So go there again, kill him again and follow the way to the next waypoint. You cannot really miss anything from there on.
Closest waypoint: Darkvale-Gate
On my very first playthrough I had the same problem with continuing after Cronley. Unlike with the wardens cellar, you dont warp home and continue the journey at another place, but follow the dungeon after you killed the Boss.
This game is lineair as hell. Just keep progressing forward and eventually you’ll get there. It has nothing to do with lack of direction/quest markers, or “in crowd”, but ineptitude of following a simple lineair forward road. How did you get to Homestead…by moving forward. Maps are not blocked off so you will eventually move forward into a new area. After clearing side areas the only road left is the one forward.
Homestead
Leave Homestead through the east gate towards Sorrow Bastion where you’ll meet the Kymon/Death’s Vigil guys and their little hide out
Keep progressing into Bloodgrove and kill cultists.
Keep progressing through the farm’s and outlying city into the Darkvale Gate
At Darkvale gate kill Karroz
Turn in quest at Homestead so the captain tells you to talk with Creed. He’ll then give you the quest to meet him at fort Ikon
Resume from where you killed Karroz into the Asterkan area which consists of 3 rift gates.
Keep progressing past the Asterkan snowy areas until you’re past all the Yeti’s.
Eventually you’ll enter through some fortress gates where you either fight Kymon or Death’s Vigil dudes. To the left you’ll go the side dungeon of Barthollem’s grave thingy
keep following the road and you’ll enter fort Ikon
hey, I will admit I dont have such a keen memory for memorizing names… so finding places I have already been again in this game is often a long struggle of going through areas again and again. This fort ikon one has me stumped tho… as far as I can remember I was in some or other fort or something that had a gate that was locked, in this area where npc’s and i got a mission off one of them (i assume creed) … i left this place went off completed the mission did a few other missions/side missions before thinking of coming back to creed… but I was never able to find creed or that place I remember being in. Its no joke when I say I have gone through every area (i think) about 20 to 30 times over and I cant seem to find this elusive place where I was before with the locked gate.
Its difficult for me to say which rift I was at last since I have basically played so much of the game since that opening mission that I just cant find my way back there… any research I do online with images I try to match the maps but often people post maps where the compass is not displayed and the maps “seem” off rotation as in north may not be up in the screen shots…
I have watched videos so long ,but cant seem to find a video where it shows a player walking from the world map to creed / fort ikon.
as you can see I am terribly confused as to where this place that I was in already is… I just cant help but think putting in simple waypoints or better descriptions on maps for key locations would have made this game so so so much better… as it is now I am literately at the point of uninstalling the game
Would it help if i somehow make screenshots of ever area and try to stitch them together in a graphics app then if i show you the whole world like that do you think one of you could draw a spot or arrow where I have to go?
It might take some time to prepare such a thing tho but anything to recover my seemingly long lost enjoyment of this game would be a great help.
also sorry for my last replay to the first poster… i have just reached the end of my teather with this game and sorry to have taken it out on you
PS just saw your replay Gibly … let me digest your info and see what I can do… ill get back to you guys
ok… I am perhaps even more confused now. I just went into the game the check the various place names Gibly mentioned.
Ok so I remember going through the whole of Darkvale Gate a few times… and killed some strong boss at the end I assume was 'Karroz … however after killing him I noted there was a doorway arch then steps to the right up into an exit area… but there seemed to be an invisible force field not letting be walk through the archway/doorway… I had assumed this was because something else / mission in the game needed to be completed… perhaps now I am thinking its a bug?
I have not gone through this Darkvale area in a while so let me now just go through it again and see if the end exit area is now accessible.
There is an occasional bug, where doorways are blocked by invisible walls. You can simply create a riftgate then, teleport to somewhere else, go back to your riftgate asap and the invisible wall is gone. To make it short, the area with the invisible wall has to be reloaded.
Now you should, as mentioned, head back and fight through Darkvale Gate, kill the boss again and go through the doorway placed at the north end of the room where you’ve fought Karroz. A new area should be loaded. It’s very linear form there on.
ok Gibly and everyone… I have not reached creed yet however I am now finally unstuck and am able to get out through Darkvale and out onto Asterkarn Road.
This time there was no force field.
I think where I was going wrong was the place I was describing (with the locked iron gate and npcs) I was trying to find (which I still have not found) was totally the wrong place to go to progress in the game. The invisible force field at the end of Darkvale made the situation worse since I thought I had to complete the mission I was talking about before I could pass through there.
Its funny though I have been through Darkvale about dozen times and killed the boss at the end the same number of times, for some reason this time the forcefield was not there but I suspect it was because a bug, or the fact I had still some other mission to complete first (asides the mission I was talking about the place with the locked iron gate.
I am over the moon I can finally start making actual progress again in the game and I thank all of you for the time/patiants and help… I think out of all of you it was Gibly that took me off the wrong track (looking for the iron gate place) and onto the correct track … even tho I had been on the correct track before… but at least I knew from his info that all the other places I was looking and looking and looking for where the wrong areas.
Ok there seemed to be a bug at play here too but still thanks for the info.
I might still recommend better way point or map description/place label system would make things a lot easier in terms of finding places that you need to go back to at some point.
anyway kudos to all of you and sorry for my opening attitude again… perhaps I should have not left it so long to seek specific help with it. noted for future.
Or next time if you want to ask about progress, you can show your screenshots so we can see where you are and what quest you’re having.
Sorry if my post offended you. Next time if you ask nicely we’re all willing to help.
I have a friend …the same as you, wants to be guided step by step + he dont speak or understands english at all, he quit the game. I for myself dont understand everything but hey its an hack and slay game that is all there is to understand. just explore every corner, kill everything and quests you’ve got are done. even if you cant understand that the quest says reach fort blablabla trough plain strife and meet me again…just kill and explore everything…really i cant understand how to do something wrong in a game like this…kill explore, done, or like my friend did…just quit playing you have already paid, there is nothing more to do.
This sort of thing happens in many video games. The lesson is when you kill a boss DONT LEAVE. Explore his room and see if there’s a new door. Also unfortunately in Grim Dawn the devs have tons of purely cosmetic doors in dungeons that do not open. The invisible wall bug would have stumped me too I have never encountered an invisible wall there in almost 2000 hours of play between 2 accounts.
The easiest way to fix the blocked door bug is to just move away untill the door is no longer visable, the go back and you can go through. Rifting away and back works too but in some areas like steps of torment that is not possible.
