...go north one more time.

You go north again. A dark orange carving of a flame in a circle hovers strangely above the path ahead. You are unable to move it, and as you try to walk past it a strange force holds you, or more so something you are carrying, back.

Invintory:
-Wings
-Thirdeighteennoteevenbetterflyingfullyclotheductsc raptlegalfourseatsestrudelire
-Chaos Grapes (in throat)
-Noberries (6)
-Dollar
-Pandora's Car Keys (2)
-Crystal
-Chaos Oil
-Chaos Cord
-Fawfaw's Special Recipe Nocake (Item Lock)
-Wafflepieces
-Pandora's Shoe
-Xion
-Lacrosse Stick of Doom
-Skateboard
-Druid Robe

Pageclaim.

Try removing one thing after another from Inventory until you find what object is not being let through, then reclaim everything other than that, and continue walking. Unless it's the Chaos Grape.
(Try the Druid Robe first)

You spend nearly an hour removing every item (escept for the Chaos Grape, of course), but are still unable to pass.

Heroes4 fans will have this in an instant, good thing nobody here plays that game.

Go around.

I think I got it. Remove all wood based items from our body.

You can't go around, I'll think of a reason later. And you have no wooden items.

...the arm leg and ear? Oh well.

Can Foo walk past it?
Is there any obvious reason the carving is floating?

Foo is unable to walk past it either. It's likely magic is making the carving float.

What happens if you touch/push the carving?

It has a texture like salad dressing. But it stays still.

Drape Druid's Robe over Carving.

(have any rabid objects been seen lately?)

Where do you get rabies underwater (aka no)? You drape the robe over the carving. It slides off the other side and you are unable to retrieve it.

Put drop of Chaos Oil onto carving.

For those who didn't see before Rad deleted it; the carving.

Glitch it.

Look at via orbs.

The drop of Chaos Oil slowly moves away from the carving as it sinks to the ground.

Orbs? What orbs?

Known facts:

The carving blocks something of yours from passing, even when you have removed everything other than the Chaos Grape.
Foo can not pass either.
Foo also has a Chaos Grape.
Chaos Oil can not touch the carving.
The term "Chaos Ward" directly relates to the carving.


Question:

If the carving is indeed a Chaos Ward, why does the prefix not cause it do the the opposite of warding?

How would Rad expect us to know if it was Chaos if he took down the image?

Maybe you're just looking at the name wrong.

Time to do some background research on this ward.

Chaos Ward : +50% Resistence to Chaos Magic.

You can't forget the +50% defense against chaos alligned opponents! Actually, a dictionary might help more here. All I took from Heroes4 was the name.

Chaos
A state of extreme confusion and disorder.

Ward
To fend off; to repel; to turn aside, as anything mischievous that approaches; -- usually followed by off.

Opposite
Altogether different, as in nature, quality, or significance.

Radium
A rare, brilliant white, luminescent, highly radioactive metallic element found in very small amounts in uranium ores, having 13 isotopes with mass numbers between 213 and 230, of which radium 226 with a half-life of 1,622 years is the most common. It is used in cancer radiotherapy, as a neutron source for some research purposes, and as a constituent of luminescent paints. Atomic number 88; melting point 700°C; boiling point 1,737°C; valence 2


(Just the name? What about the picture?)

Well, I based it's description off the battle graphic.

Walk backwards past the Chaos Ward.

You are unable to.

South.
East.
Halfway North.
NorthWest.
Halfway North.

I don't feel like figuring that out, where are you going?

If it is possible to leave the path, that should take you around the Chaos Ward.
(if not allowed, go investigate the Trafton Cave)

Yea. You return to the Trafton Cave. Roars are coming from inside. You pass the savepoint on the way there. Game saved. I wonder if there was a reason...

Toss Noberry into cave.

You throw a noberry into the cave. About five seconds later, it gets flung back out at your head. You wake up three hours later.

Have your telepathic abilities been in any way altered by the Noberry impact?
Where were you when you descended into Lower Placespot?

No, all the noberry did was knock you out. When you first reached L.Placespot you were by the bookmark, south, east, then north of Trafton's cave.

What was your above-water location when you began descending to Lower Placespot?

I don't remember, but I recall it was under Upper Placespot.

Here's all I can find:

You try not to choke on the Chaos Grape and choke on it (can't forget this step). Descending down the Chaos Cord, you reach the underwater city of Lower Placespot.

Before that, everyone (except Foo) was at the trading post. It really could be anywhere. So where was it?

Under Upper Placespot )<

.

Return to surface using Chaos Cord.
Go to Trading Post.
Exchange Pandora's Shoe for Snufuss Cloak.
Return to Trafton Cave.
Wear Snufuss Cloak.
Enter slowly.
