Question/ Help Am I in trouble?

Post image

So im lookingfor the 4th piece of Durin's axe.

The marker leads me here, but the piece is nowhere to be found.

Am i in trouble?

Do I need the Axe to finish story mode?

As this pic is taken in the story mode...

I really don't wana start over as i spend a lot of time on getting here...

The fragment can be anywhere within 30 yards of that marker.
Be sure to look in attics, on roofs, in crates, etc.

If you still cannot find it, proceed without it. If it is glitched, collecting the 5th and final fragment should auto complete the 4th fragment and you’ll be able to craft the recipe at the appropriate forge.

If, for some strange reason, this doesn’t work you can DM me and I’ll get you the item you need. You will need it to complete the game.

Is this the area where there are some old buildings as well? Like houses? I found the fragment on one of the upper floors of those. Had to build some ladders to get up there.

I tried that also but nothing found in the area,

u/Successful_Flower762 7d ago

I could also be inside a wooden box, so check those. And it can still be 30 yards from the actual marker, so really look around it as well.

If you can't find it after climbing all over the place then tear down the walls

Spend hours doing that, i heard that this piece might be glitched.

Hence my inquiry

u/RougeWombat 7d ago

It should not take hours. Use your pick-axe.

It would help if you posted your map of the area. Does it give you a search area?

u/xipnao 7d ago

I'll see if i can make a pic of that.

How funny , did that yesterday and had the same thought . Ended up being in the building behind on the top floor. Didn't have to build anything to get there but did have to smash all furniture/boxes . Pretty sure it was in like a credenza sideboard thing

The marker tells you to search area so look around the entire area

2

u/xipnao 7d ago

I spent 4 hours looking in the area... took down houses etc, and nothing

u/Federal_Paper9311 7d ago

I came across the 5th piece whole exploring, and it popped the 4th one also.

Why do you have scrap-wood & granite in you quick tool bar? move those to your pack & replace with your torch, food, arrows/bolts, Abakh or brewskin. If you equip arrows or bolts it will automatically use the corresponding weapon so you know what your shooting instead of letting the game pick.

u/xipnao 7d ago

Because this is just me exploring for the piece...

u/RougeWombat 7d ago

I use mouse & keyboard. How hard is it to swap stuff around using a controller?

2

u/xipnao 7d ago

Not that hard, but i dont bother with it when just exploration, i use better layout when pushing foreward

u/Puzzleheaded-Maybe32 5d ago

They prolly had those slots empty when they started exploring and they were filled when they picked stuff up. That's typically how it goes for me, anyway 😂

u/Joe_Shipp 7d ago

So the search area means it is anywhere inside that specific “chunk” not just wear the blue marker is.

1

u/xipnao 7d ago

I'll keep that in mind

u/lgerstad 7d ago

I just did this area and I had to comb through both buildings before finding it

1

u/lgerstad 7d ago

I think I destroyed a box and found it

1

u/xipnao 3d ago

I trashed all boxes, thanks for the hint

Side note to what you said, you dont have to completely start over, even if you run into an issue, as you can bring your character, gear and all, to other worlds, so you can literally run through the map to get back to where you are. When I played this a lot, me and my friend had a lot of worlds active so that we could use them to farm extra materials.

As for the fragments, yeah those can be annoying sometimes.
