I was told the cave key is not available yet. You can bet there are probably spiders lurking down there too. On the Heroes quest, I lit some candles but nothing is showing as completed. I only found 4 I think. 2 at the cave area and one at the area past the blockade. And where is the last hive? I on...

Yeah, that one. I had to ask how to find that too.

He has the key.
To reach him, you need to get past the guard on the ramparts.

I can't believe the amount of detailed colors, lighting and animations in this game.
The sunsets and sunrises are spectacular.

The freeze/pause has happened in every game I have played. It does not matter if I reload. What I have noticed is the game pauses whenever Tilo finds something new.

I have found the 12 fate cards but the female mouse prisoner does not read my fortune.
Maybe I need to complete the other quest first.

The first guard, you can just sneak behind. On the second guard you can either follow behind him watching the threat meter Throw a stick to lure him then run past him. Knock him out with a bottle or the easiest is to wait for him to go around the corner, make your way to the first chest and hide. Wh...

More information on the maps would be helpful, and also maybe have a direction pointer - for at least the main quest.
So Tilo knows where to go.

The one thing I have noticed in this game is every time Tilo comes upon a new object, the game literally freezes for about 5 seconds, then the item is displayed and the game continues normally. Has anyone seen this happen. I know it is not my Xbox because I have never seen this happen with any other...
