Shivering Isles: Vitharn - Where's the Mausoleum Key?

[Frodo-Baginses]

I have been messing around with the Ghosts of Vitharn quest. A bit disjointed but I've managed to complete it. I couldn't really understand what was going on but I seem to have got there.

What I can't fathom is the key for the Mausoleum - does anyone have a clue as to its whereabouts?

I have I missed it somewhere?

I managed to get the Armoury Key but I can't see where I pick this one up.

here undet Notes section you can read that the mausoleum will be sealed after completing the quest. I'm not sure if you could force it open with the "unlock" command, or if it would mess up anything...

I have since realised that the locks go on when you complete the quest so I have back tracked and started from a an earlier save.

You really have to research this quest, more so than most, due to it not being as "linear" in its approach. I didn't even get the quest prompt from the rumour mill in Crucible or Bliss!

It seems that it is best approached by obtaining the special items associated with the 3 ghosts one at time and dealing with them as such.

I also didn't even realise that the mausoleum was there until after I had completed the first playthrough.

When this last freedom task is done I only have a short while longer and the Shivering Isles is complete. I completed the rest of the game apart from some tidying up here and there and then I can put it to bed at last.

It's been a long haul. I spent over a year on two platforms with this game, but it's been so difficult to put down.
