That is it. So everybody who did not spend a red gem to enter Ratlington will be out of luck to see the good ending. @Adrageron Or is there another way? The reward for the last figurine is a necklace that lets you survive petrify...

I certainly hope that's not the case, that would be incredibly stupid.

I didn't even have a red gem on me when reaching Ratlington. I'd found only one (at that in the martyr puzzle, which isn't exactly a given to solve in the first place), but used it to get my first crystal flower for the alchemist. Having such a seemingly trivial event lock you out of the good ending without any warning whatsoever until you get stuck 20h later (besides reading here it would be absolutely impossible to even find out that's what I'm missing).
Using the console to spawn some statues, I found that

there are 13 statue rewards, the last of which lead me to a secret with the wizard's virge. So it might be the case that you only need 12 to complete the game and we're missing one more. Although maybe the virge's the weapon that you're supposed to defeat the final boss with.
Well, imo Adrageron's mods outclass all other LoG2 mods even as is. People say 'this could be Grimrock 3' about damn near every single large scale mod, but lost city and this are the only two which reach and often surpass the base game in the quality of world, encounter and puzzle design.
HAHAAHAHAHAAHAAHAHA the citadel and the smoke monsters invulnerable to physical damage. Am I lucky I have 2 strength based frontrow barbs that still carry their firesword and lightning sword as a backup weapon in case of situations like these! So I could actually kill them without suffering too much!

It's already extremely well done and fairly bugfree.
