Have just reached chapter 2 of this truly superb game and have cleared out the first area with all the Werewolfs, Rangers, Yeti´s and obtained all (?) the items requiered to repair Oswalds airship and he still wont do it !!!

The items i have found are:
3 Piles of wood
3 Fresh Spider Silk
1 Belladonna Paste
1 Thrym Extract
2 Diamonds

For iron ore i tried a couple of weapons (dagger +1 was the "oldest" i had)

I apparently have all the items, so what could be wrong ? Should i place Oswalds book on the table too ? Or give it to him ?

Any help would be great !!!

First, you should see if you sold anything like a normal weapon to Oswald earlier, and if so, buy it. Second, look around near the Temple for stuff like that, I think that theres some inside. Third, um... I dunno, your on your own!

You have to go to the ice temple, free Nathaniel and return his stuff to him.

Later i discovered that magical weapons DON´T work and that there weren´nt any regular non-magical weapons in that area, and the broken sword that the wounded captain had were already gone (i waited and rested, didnt bother to pick them up the first time) so i had to use the cheat console to spawn an ordinary greatsword.

I think you can also use the broken weapons off that guy in the snow.

yes, the broken stuff from the guy in the snow is ideal for this purpose (not the armor, cuz Oswald will buy that!).

Once you put all the ingredients down, you get a message to the effect that the spell is working, but the spell doesn't finish until you finish the rest of the ice temple quests.

Once you complete the ice temple use the talking picture to take you back to Andora and go back to where Oswalds airship was. Oswald and Nathanial have left, but Oswald leaves you a potion that gives you 1 point of slashing and piercing resistance….

Also, there are three different ways you can fix the ship. If you get all the ingredients, you can have Oswald fix it. If you convince the Druids to allow you safe passage to the ice temple then you will have to either get belladonna from Zack or get Nathanial to fix the ship. The third way, I think but am not sure, is to get Nickodemus to fix the ship.

Anyone know if there is any purpose or any useful use for the leftover componets of Oswalds ship that are scattered all over the ice temple. For example you need a pile of wood for the mending spell, but I found like 4 or 5 piles of the stuff. Never could find a use for it after the spell was cast.
