Help with Arcanum (PC)

I am stuck in the city of Tulla, in the Vendigroth wastes, and cannot do the main quest there about the ghost in the fountain. It is probably pretty easy to do the whole step on the right magic college symbol thing, but I cannot get it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

You are right about the whole magic symbol thing. You have to step on the symbols in the right order, and one of the doors will open. To get the order, you need to look at the mural inside the main building. For example, to open the door with the + inside a circle: On the mural that symbol will appear surrounded by four different symbols at the four compass points. If you start at the north and work clockwise, note all the symbols in that order. Go to the courtyard and then step on the same symbols littered about in the same order. When the last one is done: the door will open.
This will work for all four doors.
It's a bit confusing, so if you need clarification, I will do my best.

 

You can also pick the locks on the doors. I think there was one time where I went through and did that whole symbol stepping thing, but it wasn't the first time or the last time. Lockpicking is the way to go on that puzzle.

 

The problem is that if you aren't taking skills as a lockpick, then that's not really an option. There are just so many ways to play arcanum, and so many different skills to choose from. Every time you play will be different.
