Ghost Hand Help (spoilers)

[Agesilaus]

So, I finally managed to get three power tubes and travel to the pass, where I immediately purchased the hand.

Now what? I can't find any way of putting the power tubes into the device. I looked at the hand in Thassalos' home, so I have a vague idea of what it does, but I want to turn the thing on and play with it. How do I do that?

Also, is it a bug that only IG characters can buy the hand? When I travel there for the Aurelians, the entire sequence is handled in a dialogue, so I can't walk around to buy the hand. Even when I stay the night I cannot walk around.

It works the same way the respirator does. You need to reach a place where you can use it and then you'll have an option to charge it, if you have enough tubes, etc. Same goes for the nullifier, if someone managed to find it.

We'll fix it.

The nullifier wouldn't happen to be the triangular gizmo with the null sign on it, would it? If so, I've found it but couldn't find its use.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Yes.

Ok, what's the point of the Ghost Hand, can you use it somewhere else apart from the arch? 3 Power Tubes + Mechanic Eye seems like a very big investmen for what you can get from the arch.

Also, the Power Armor is really cool with the Stargate effect. But is it possible to remove the "shield" so we can go 2handed?

And what can you do with the Flying Fortress, only some Bro Points with Meru?
(One of my characters crashed it in middle of nowhere, and some poor peasant saw me in the Ra armor coming out of a flying chariot IWANTTOBELIEVE)

You acquire a different perspective and learn more. You can have two conversations there. Once you acquire the suit, you can step through the portal yourself.

For now one-handed only.

You can break the siege and intimidate the Aurelian Legatus.

With or without the suit

I just die. Is there something missing?

 

[Vault Dweller]

You have to be a servant of Balzaar (i.e. performed the ritual).

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Ok, the only ritual I do is

Spoiler

the one with the surgical kit. I take that the wards keep the alien entity for taking over and you turn into a Godlike being (keeping you own ego)?
What are the checks to pass the ritual? I pass with an Int/Con 8/8

Then, unless you go by Balzaar's route the Ghost Hand and the Eye aren't really worth it unless you want some extra text at a big cost (3 tubes that you could use for the P.A.) an a punny reward (6xp?).

 

[Vault Dweller]

I'm talking about you performing the ritual on Meru and bringing Balzaar into the world.

pls don't ever make it available for two handers
the armour is already OP as fuck and unless you want it to be the end all be all for literally every possible build keep the hand console there
