Bronze sphere problem! *spoilers*

    I've finished PS:T and I visited a walkthrough site to see if I've missed anything in the game and then I read that I should have used the bronze sphere to find out my name, get a lot of experience points and get the symbol of Torment. I forgot to do that so I decided to do it since I really want to find out TNO's name (that and the memories were the entire point of PS:T anyway, right?) but I have three saves- Auto-Save (in the Maze of Reflections, and I've merged with the Good and the Paranoid Incarnations already), another save with the same situation and a Quick-Save (where I'm at the beginning of the Fortress Roof). I've tried using the Bronze Sphere, but nothing happened. Apparently, I was supposed to have a certain dialogue with the Good Incarnation in order to be able to use the Bronze Sphere but it's too late for that since I've already merged with the Good Incarnation. And now I'm stuck. S:
    I guess I could Google the name, but I really want to find it out on my very own. Can I find a save game of the Maze of Reflections somewhere? Is there an online-guide to editing my save game somehow so that I can restart at that area? Or is there anything else that could help me? I really wanna find it out D:

    [​IMG] You're not actually told what the name is, you just get a bucketload of experience and a general feeling of awesomeness.

    You have to have relatively high wis/int to unlock the conversational branch with the incarnation to talk about the bronze sphere as well, you should have it in your inventory at least.

    [​IMG] My Wisdom and Intelligence are maxed out, and I remember seeing it as a dialogue option.
    So I don't get the name? That sucks :shame: I got my hopes up. I found this in a walkthrough, that's why I thought I find out the name by using the bronze sphere:
    "Using the bronze sphere will reveal your true name and you'll receive a whopping 2,000,000 experience points, as well as the Rune of Torment."

    TNO learns his name, but you - the player - don't. ;)

    To use the sphere, you have to learn from the Practical Incarnation that the Bronze Sphere is a dead sensory stone, and from the Good Incarnation that *HE* was the first incarnation.

    Yeah, I didn't learn that the Good Incarnation was the first.
    I know that he gets the name but I was hoping I'd get it too. I really wanted to know.
    Well, thanks for the help, both of you :D

    I think knowing his name would take something away from the game, to me, he would no longer be the nameless one in any further playthroughs

    [​IMG] Good point, Shoshino. I hadn't thought it through that far. I haven't finished the game, either, but I can guess that replaying as The Nameless One(AKA Marty "Let's party!" Moonbeam) wouldn't give me the same "wtf is going on, here?"-flavor to the game. :)
