Am I supposed to have received a diagram for the Kayran trap at some point? Because I have the Iron Frame from Loredo's residence and am at the point where I am ready to face the Kayran, but I receive no option to craft the item anywhere nor to purchase the diagram. Neither the Dwarven Smith nor the trapper in Lobinden have the diagram, and Cedric seems to have disappeared entirely.

Hi,

You have to buy it from Cedric. Quite expensive too.

Cedric moves around a bit. He has a house in Lobinden, sometimes he hangs out around Lobinden, sometimes he is at the tree platform, sometimes he is further along the path when you venture to the forest via Lobinden.

There should be a crafting icon on your map where he is though.

Not to mention, it's arguably useless (saves you from about 5 seconds worth of game time).

There are only two shop/craft items in Lobinden, one for Anezka and the other for the trapper with the troll head.

Then try moving towards the troll bridge, or veyopatis' shrine. I've seen him walk towards that area a few times.

If he's still not there, move back to town (i.e. go through the doors), rest till next day's noon, and try again.

How does it work anyway?

For me it just shoots blue bolts of energy. Unlimited ammunition, too. O_o

You place it like you would an Yrden trap, and dodge when the tentacle comes at you.

The trap simply does the extra tentacle cutting that you would normally do with a sword.

Yea but you get the Steam achievment......hooray!! I never found the frame?? Cedric is probably in his house or down by the water or ploughing the Herbalist!! If he was a Druid look around the stew pot ...they eat children!! :p

You find the iron frame when you sneak into Loredo's residence. There is a storage space that you have to climb some rocks to get to (the door is locked). If you have not killed the Kayran prior to talking to Loredo (for Indecent Proposal) some guy will come tell you about the iron frame.

I don't get it...I have it in my quick-slots...I choose it during the fight...I press the "use item" button...and all it does is shooting the blue energy bolt. It is not placed...

You don't have to put it in the quick slot etc. When you fight the kayran, there will be a spot with yellow highlight, you then need to LMB to set the trap. That being said, my trap missed and it disappeared. Wth.

Damn...I know the place you're talking about. When I fought the Keyran I thought "is that another Yrden marker there, it's so little? Naah, it's just bloom / sunlight..." XD

TY I will try it on my 2nd playthru cause I killed the Kayran, once you know how, its rather easy till then I spoke many Languages!!

I'm about to take that languge course myself. I have been down there twice, but not on a serious mision to take it out. I lasted less than a minute. : )

It didn't disappear, most likely. I found that, when deployed, it stops glowing and is rather hard to see. Your next thought my be to wonder why it didn't grab the tentacle, then. When I used it, I still had to stand next to it and roll away.

I could be totally mistaken. That is just how it seemed to play out to me.
