I am doing the task now where Mantid wants you to mine color.

I watched the video a few times and noticed that color deposits glow slightly but in the actual game they don't glow that much and are hard to see.

The way I found the first two deposits is because if you walk to the left side of the walkway at the center pillar the deposits clip through the pillar and are visible.

The nameless sister said there is another deposit after I exposed the first two but I tried using the center pillar trick but no deposits showed up. The deposit on the right (right of the level entrance) side is barely visible as a dark spot, and the one on the left is not visible at all because of the blue torches.

So what I finally did was fill all my hearts with as much violet as possible to reduce casting cost and took all the color I had and fired at every possible place in the mine even the center pillar but nothing showed up.

Does anyone know if there is a third deposit, if it is a bug, or do I have to complete another quest, or another part of the game. I tried different colors with the torch glyph and walked up to all the walls to see if color contrast would make a difference but nothing showed up. Then I changed the gamma settings and the shadow settings but that did not help either.

If its bugged or something else has to happen will please someone post I don't want to spend as much time as I did walking around the mine blasting the walls the whole game.

If something else has to happen please post but don't give it away, if there are more deposits then I will try a few more times before doing something else.
Thanks.

Yes, there should be a third deposit. Also violet only reduces the amount of color required to revive trees.

Are you sure, when I cast expose without violet the casting cost was 12, when I was full of violet it was only 8. I tried not to hold down the mouse and just draw the sign but maybe it was the size of the gylph I was drawing that made it seem like violet made a difference.


Thanks

Edit:

Found Answer in FAQ...

Q. A tutorial video tells me to look for pulsating veins of Color in mines, but I can't see any in the game.
A. This is a known issue with ATI cards. If you disable antialiasing, the colored areas will show up.
NOTE: This has NOT been fixed for the English release.
