Help on first quest.

kingfet · February 2009

So I tried the game before the new module and enjoyed it, but had group problems. With henchmens, so I am trying again, and got stuck on the first quest the grotto. After killing the queen, the rogue goes to the side room and senses something different and need to locate the source of fresh air. Now perhaps I am an idiot, but I tried for fifteen minutes yesterday, and couldnt figure out what I was supposed to do. I cannot post on the game forums because of the trial account and google failed me.

Can someone please lend a hand in what I am supposed to be doing?

I'm not ingame and your post is a little confusing.

Are you refering to the part after you've grouped with the other NPC's (3 or 4 total) and have defeated several waves of fish beast thingies - is this where Jeet's is standing near a door waiting for something to happen?

If so, read the NPC dialogue. I believe it's the Warforged who steps on a level that removes the steel grate covering the pit of water which you are suggested to investigte further.

Other then that, I don't recall there being a Queen in this quest. Could it be you're at the end and just need to click on the door to leave?

edit: After a google search "DDO The Grotto" I found a very clear reference to this:

"Jeets disarms the trap and we continue into the next area where we meet a sahuagin high priestess, our first red-named boss. A hint tells us red named bosses are much stronger than most enemies of their challenge rating would be. After defeating the high priestess the group enters her shrine where Cellimas casts some spells to cleanse it of its evil energies. Jeets runs up to a platform and calls our attention to our first chest, yet another DDO staple. After claiming our rewards from the chest we continue to the next area where Jeets feels there’s “something fishy in this room” and suggests we search. (Sahuagin? Something fishy? Ugh…) Here we get to use the Search skill, which all characters can use to various degrees. We discover a secret door, which when opened leads to a final chamber and the doorway into Korthos Village."

I hope that helps.

Open your character sheet and in the SKills section you'll want to move the Search function to a tool bar although it should be there by default.

Heheh . That's where DDO is the best of all MMO Games.

I think I can help you. You're still in tutorial, and you are next to the wall, where the rouge in your group noticed to movement of air. That probably means there is a hidden passage somewhere. You must Search for it . Just use the search skill from you shortcut bar, it's a magnifing glass, and when you hover your cursor over it, it will be named as Search skill.

If you don't have Search skill in your shorcut bar from some reason, you may always add it - like every other "active" (clickable) skill. Press "C" and you'll have your character chart. There, choose "Skills" Tab. Here you can find the listing of every skill in the game. "Passive" skills (those that are "always active", withour you action) have icons in hexagons. "Active" skills (which you must "click" from shortcut bar to activate) have icons in squares. It's explained on this page, just look at it. The same is about "Feats" tab, where you can find certain "feats" you character is able to perform. Experiment with it, it's great fun .

I hope this helps - just "Search" for hidden "something" and you should find it in that room.

PS: Are you new US player or EU one?

Yes as poster above me said. Im sure you're talking about the hidden passage. You have to use search skill in order to continue. If you accidently pull it off from your action bar, you can find it in your feats window. From there you can drag it into your bars.
