How to Gain Access to the Lincoln – Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor
Your final mission involves a deep-sea dive to the Shoals to snag the Oscillation Overthruster from the Lincoln & bring it back to Resurectra in Castle Lambent. But before you can embark on this underwater odyssey you gotta take out Xenofex -> This cat’s holed up in the Hive out in the Land of the Giants & if you’ve already been around those parts you might have a shortcut through the teleporter from Harmondale.
If not you’re gonna have to hoof it through some tunnels starting at Barrow Downs all the way to Mount Nighon… Once he’s history you’re cleared for the big plunge…
Before you even think about hitting the Shoals you need to suit up: The four Wetsuits are stashed in chests right next to the throne room door in Castle Lambent. Strip down – and I mean everything rings amulets the whole nine yards – then slip into those Wetsuits. They won’t fend off hits but they’ll keep you from sleeping with the fishes…
Where to Find the Lincoln
Make your way over to Avlee and once there get those Wetsuits on & head to the western waters… Reach the map’s edge & the game will pop the question about heading to the Shoals… Say yes & off you go…
Underwater it’s a bit like flying minus the whole spell-casting biz… Keep your eyes peeled for sharks; these toothy jerks can scare your crew stiff?? Can’t fling a Remove Fear spell underwater but the good ol’ potion works – so stock up
Don’t miss the chest near the sunken ship – it’s got the Temple in a Bottle… This little treasure unlocks the secret NWC dungeon so be sure to grab it…
There are two hangars to enter the Lincoln & once inside be ready for a rough welcome – a bunch of Droids will come at you… If your party isn’t tough enough you may need to retreat – Find a safe spot gear up again & prepare for battle…
The ship will be out of power initially… Look for the door in the southeast corner of the hangar; that’s your entry point… Navigate east take the lift to the power room & bring the ship to life… Once the power is up you can get through doors & interact with control panels.
Your goal is the oscillation overthruster which is located on the bridge… Head south from the main hold to find the bridge doors… Open them up grab the overthruster & you’re set to go.
Hustle back to Resurectra or Kastore with the overthruster & if you’re with Resurectra she’ll use it to finish the Gate of the Ancients… With Kastore he’ll start cranking out blasters to arm his forces.
