how do you complete this exactly? every time it says "Breathe the waters of his mercy and the way is made clear". ive used water breathing in puzzle canal, brought the longsword, and the blue barriar is still there blocking me. its annoying. how do i fix it?

...This is a hard one actually.

Breathe the waters of his mercy and the way is made clear means go drown yourself in Vivec's mercy. His mercy being the water.

I remember when i did this one. I got told this by Malchik (i think) and i thought he was having a joke at my expense. Anyway, how did you know that a longsword was needed? (BTW, the sword the guy ahead needs is in a box near him, so you don't have to buy it)

Simply drown yourself on the pool to solve it.

wont you die?????????????????

i know a longsword (silver) is needed by the book you are given. now then, thread lockable, question being answered. thanks, guys!
