I am now finally convinced to start a new game on "hard difficulty" and not "heroic". Because on "hard" you can respawn even in Boss areas, thats not possible on "heroic"!
Thats of course a HUGE advantage.
I think my "heroic" Van Helsing is now finally stuck at the Drill worm. Even one of the guys commenting this video on youtube says its impossible to survive this. Too bad... two days gameplay lost

na! I just killed Drill Worm..Took 3 tries.
Spoiler:
Turn on all 4 machines, then activate last stand, mystic shield skill. Now press center machine and drill worm goes down. Quickly use sphere of timelessness near worm + 150% melee strike. with 6-10 seconds freeze, you can finish it by doing 3 times.
Spiders: just ignore and keep running around.

OT: What should I do with "mysterious gemstones"?
(under quest item tab)
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
How far am I if I just finished the electrycal generator quest?
That's the first upgrade is it not? You are getting closer to the end but there are a few areas (Two of which are fairly large.) and new sidequests open up as you progress.
(The game has three chapters, each one has it's own separate overview map.)
YEAH! Got it! That tip with the time-sphere was gold worth. thanks for that. so you can prevent being killed when switching the main machine to weaken the worm and have a few shots to fire before the spiders attack again.
Well, now the game says you cant return to this area when going through the next door.
Question: what quests do I have to finish before leaving?
I got the following quest items in my inventory which use is unknown to me:
- mysterious key (from the statue in the village)
- weapon oil
- two rusty bombs (out of five)
- four bone relics
Are they all belonging to enhanced quests continuing after leaving this area or where do I have to use them before leaving??
0. Nobody knows what is this bloody key for.
1. Weapon Oil is used in the forest to get Excalibur from Stone
2. Rusty Bombs is for merchant in 1st town, he is supposed to give you that quest, how did you mis it.
3.Bone relics is either for professor Toad for money or for Glutton God who grants you 1000Xp and +2 ability points for each
Youi have to finish them before leaving.
IamAWESOME
After.
Also, key is not used for these chests so I dunno. Apparently you have to use it before?
No idea.
If I understood the forums correctly the chests are meant to be locked thus you should use the key on one of them, it's apparently a oversight by the developers and it's being looked into.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, I got this bomb collection quest already, what I wanted to know was if there are more bomb parts in chapter 2/3 or if all the bomb parts are hidden in chapter 1. my mistake.
yes, I found the frog mouth and forgot about the sword in the stone.
I am not in the mood to search for hours for the other missing bombs so I will continue. Happy gaming and thanks again

I still have a savegame file where chest aren't open, I will try to drop rusty key and open them later.
I don't think it will make a difference, they are just normal loot chests currently instead of being locked, unless there was some door that lead to the area and the key was for that.
(I can't check, I looked on the forums for the locations of the three gems to the second statue and it turns out that I had accessed all three locations, one of them simply didn't give the gem correctly, instead I got the unique .303 Eastwood rifle.)
I entered the Ink portal at the 2nd statue, by the gargoyles, which took me to the glade with the protected statue and chests. Running around, killing enemies there, I found THREE extra stones and TWO extra statues with three slots each. I put a stone in one of the statues, got another stone, tried to put it in and it removed one stone and only inserted one -- I then found another stone, put it in the other statue, now nothing... no enemies, no stones, can't get near the chests because of the protection and I can't do anything with the other two statues.
I assume you didn't get the Stone in Town as first as you arrive there. Two of the other locations always gibe you it because even dialogue says so.
Nothing of value is lost,though, I re-opened chests for 5 times, there was nothing that really worth all the deal, nothing unique or set items.
There's a achievement for acquiring Borislav's scepter, I thought that was in one of those chests, interesting.
(There's a achievement for killing 500.000 enemies too, then again there's upwards of like 10.000 or so enemies all in all so it might be doable legitimately in a few playthroughs or multiplayer.)

It's not bugged.
Spoiler:
In the Ink there are 2 statues and 6 stones. After you place them all the ward disappears and you can get to chests. Apparently you should be able to use Mysterious Key on that final statue, but right now it's not possible and that is a bug.
It might look like it vanished, because it's much darker that the stones you put in the 1st statue (in that village at the beginning), but it's probably there.

This is where my pc RPG experience comes in handy :3
Spoiler:
There are 6 gems in there, at first I collected them all and then, when map was cleared, I inserted them. Voila.

Well, when you remove the barrier
Spoiler:
there is a mini-boss battle so may be he can drop it, but I'm not interested to fight with him over and over again

However, the ward did vanish and the cutscene at the statue happened, so it's all good in the end
