Title: Ilwrath difficulties
Post by: yip yip yip on April 21, 2006, 04:45:43 pm
Wow, let me say that it is a pleasure to play this game again after almost 15 years.  I am struggling right now trying to use the caster to "convince" the Ilwrath to stop warring on the Pkunk, but I have reached an impass.

Your help would be most appreciated.

Thank you

D

Broadcasting from their seat of power may tip the tide in your favour.

Helpful hints

1. This "Seat of Power" is not in their Sphere of Influence

2. It would be best to broadcast from a distance, rather then talking to them directly.

3. Their "Seat of Power" is often referred to as the "Green Eye of Kazon"

For flat out spoilers, select the following text.

Their home star system is Delta Tauri. Go there and broadcast. Do not visit their homeworld. Do not make contact with any vessels there. You can safely say anything you like to them you ARE their gods after all, are you not?

I have a Buvix Caster, will that do? When I try to use it where you said it just makes the sound that I can't use it...

Either caster should work just fine. The best way to do it is just to enter the system, use the caster immediately, speak your mind, and then turn around and leave. Speaking directly with the Ilwarth is, as always, just going to result in them wanting to use you as a sacrifice, which isn't really the most conducive thing towards saving the galaxy.

As for the caster not working, I've never had a problem. Have you actually heard anyone tell you about how the Ilwarth were manipulated in the past? If not, you may want to try that; sometimes just knowing, as they say, is half the battle.

I'm going to assume you get the information from the Melnorme? The Umgah want to kill me because I know too much...
Also, I am stuck on getting the Spathi to join me because all the choices when they ask me for the secret cypher are wrong... I'll try to ask the melnorme about them too...

You can meet a very helpful Spathi right in the Sol system...
Do you talk (and listen! ) to the starbase-commander after each of your trips ?
