A murder, a ghost, weapons, numbers... - by Chaos lord

I have here these thingies that can't ponder out... not even a clue! First (and more important): about the quest with the ghost of the queen (WARNING: Spoilers following!)
[spoiler]Well, obviously Lunshire's daughter IS alive after all, (rebels' leader), but how to finish the find-the-queen's-killer quest? (I'm not mistaken that the ghost in the crypt IS the queen's, right?). I went to the Tavern at the level with the destroyed Travel Portal and spoke to the one-eyed Enoil, but he told me to piss off and since then repeats that i have no idea what am I talking about. Even when I had meet Lunshire's daughter, this dude refuses to give any more info. Any help, please?
And second: In the throne room of that funny Goblin king there's a digital locking mechanism (wow...! I mean, a lock with numerical cipher) on the wall, but can't find any clue to the code. Ideas?
Ah, and this one has just occured to me. My current quest regarding the main story line is to forge weapon powerful enough to kill Iserbius. But the only two moulds I've found in the Dwarven mines are for Sabre and for a Two-handed sword, but since my Strenght is no more, no less than 6, (i'm a Thief fan!) i can't use the Saber, and definetly not the Two-handed (besides it lowers Stealth... :eww:) Does this mean that I can't finish the game? Or what if I encahnt the Ultimate weapon with Garlic according to the Theory of the Ultimate Weapon? It says that garlic makes a weapon easier to use or something like that, but I'm not sure if this mean that a saber, that requires Strenght 8, would be useful for someone with strenght 6. [/spoiler]
Thank you for any help provided!

The Bar:
[SPOILER]Give the bar dude a beer. He'll loosen up, and drop something for you.[/SPOILER]
The code:
[SPOILER]The code can be found under the blanket in the goblin king's bedroom. It's 5599.[/SPOILER]
The sword:
[SPOILER]Using the smelter(the thing you put chunks of metal into to make a bar), put in 2 mithril chunks and the koltk powder. This will forge a special bar, which when used to make a sword, will enable anyone of any strength to use it. You will also need to enchant the sword with a dragon egg and an enchantment spell to make the proper meteor sword to defeat Akbaa. Any other enchantment will ruin it, I believe.[/SPOILER]
That answer it all?

You better build up some strength for the sabre. I don't know anyway around it. Probably my biggest complaint with Arx is the unbalanced gameplay of thieves and warriors. It's relatively easy to beat the game as a warrior (with a few spells of course) and difficult to beat it as a thief. I guess I never thought about the thief never being able to carry the Ultimate Weapon as I quickly switched to a mage at the beginning of the game.

[spoiler]Ah, beer for the one-eyed? OK, I thought about this option since he started vociferating that :Beer! I need some more beer! Tizzy!: etc. etc., but when I tried to buy some for him, Tizzy says harshly, "I can't serve you right now!" [/spoiler] Why? A bug? :grr: How to bypass it if so? I think it was mentioned something about "Fixed bug with Tizzy and the beer" in the readme about the Patch1.15 when I installed this patch, but...
And I'll consider about the goblin :)
B745: Well, but I'm Level 8 now and there is loooot of XPs needed, so I could bust up me strenght... Besides I *love* being a Thief :) Can't be anything else! :angel: We'll see.
Thank you.:
