That was a fun kinda puzzle fight.Īnd plus, I did a few of the more minor quests. I found Thompson, and that one about made me quit the game, until I realized that it was just a fight. You have to step on some runes to open a gate, but absolutely no matter how you step on 'em it doesn't work. Finally I realized that the runes were changing to colored squares. Once you got all four stepped on, you were surrounded by spore beasts. However, I did notice that the gate opened! So, it wasn't a puzzle per se, just a fight. Beat the spore beasts and you're in.Īlso, I'm tracking down the spy in Blosk. I know who it is, but I'll have to find some way to read a burned paper before I can prove it. I went to the Scree Pits and the half-finished fort and nabbed the blue pass. Used that to get to Kothar, where the Orb of Thralni is stored.Īnd this turns out to be the toughest fight of the game so far. I'm stronger than overcooked lizard meat. I've beaten everybody in that fort, including a lich and all the Empire wizards, who are fond of charming my stupider meat shield characters.īut I have found the chamber that holds the Orb. As far as I can tell, there is no way to get to it without triggering a fight so massive that it really seems impossible to beat. I found clues in books, things like "press the right eye of the gargoyle," and so far I haven't found any gargoyles. Next time I will continue to search the fort, observe the map, and try to find the secret. One good thing: I have gathered up some fabulous loot in this place! And of course, you need the Orb, which lets your party fly for short distances, to get to otherwise inaccessible places. Yep! There's still a lotta game left to play! WooHoo! Then I need to rescue one more Crystal Soul and I'll get Demonslayer. OK, there is no other way in, but when I was trying to exit, I finally triggered that gargoyle eye. All that did was keep me from falling into a pit-something I'd avoided earlier by using Move Mountains. I thought that would turn off the defenses in the Orb chamber, but no. The trick is to not try to defeat the defenses, just run in, grab the orb and run out while your meat shields keep the golems and eyebeasts away from the door. I gave Mycroft an invulnerability elixir and hasted him and went into combat mode before I entered the chamber. (Well, Max got killed, but I used Return Life so that was no problem.) And I've already used the Orb, and it works! Aldous kicked off the defenses, but I was able to run in and grab the orb, and got outta there before I got killed.
