I'm not all the way through it yet but so far it's been...interesting [img]smile.gif[/img] .

That fire column trap on the 1st level? Couldn't detect it at all with Imoen at 65% Detect Traps. But all you have to do is avoid it.

That trap on level 2 that casts hold/silence? I could detect it but not disarm it. I just rested on the spot if one of my characters got held and the effect went away.

I had to look in a guide to figure out where the heck that scimitar+2 was on the balcony! Found out it was a fireball trap that I once again could NOT disarm so I just took my meaty Ranger guy and equipped him with the 40% Fire Resistance "secret" ring I found (one of those items in the middle of nowhere...one of those secret items like the Ring of Wizardry you find on the ground next to the Friendly Arm Inn). Anyway, 40% fire resistance AND I used my priest and cast the Resist Fire/Cold spell. Before both of these effects my Ranger took like 25 and 40 damage, but after it was reduced to 6 and 6! Heh, heh, heh, who needs to disarm traps anyway?

The latest trap I survived was that Dire Charm trap when you try to take the tome on level 3. My Ranger saved vs the spell!

Anyway, anyone had any "luck" suriviving some of these traps? One that I could NOT survive was on level 2. That double damage bouncy lightning thingy hit me too many times before my ranger could get out of the way of it in time :*(
