man traps

I need to get to the castle but I can't as two of those dang things sneak up on my while I am fighting other things. I can not get to the castle till i get rid of them. How do I do that? I try to keep looking around at the point the sneak up but by the time they show, it is to late. grrrr

KattB: run to the moat and get into it ASAP. They can't follow you in the water (usually). When you're far enough away from them to where you can see them but they can't target you, start using firepower (Sun spells) against them.

BTW, there's four of them, not two. Sorry to tell you!

Hi Kathy:

Yes, you need to avoid those damn things...

I'm about the same area as you, and what I did was to keep over to the left as far as possible as you go through the woods and then run toward the castle and hit the moat moving swiftly to the left into the small clearings there. I was able to avoid them completely. From there, you can gain entrance to the castle.

Sazerac:

Please, PLEASE tell me that once you kill those 4, there are NO MORE of them - ever! Or are they the sort of monster that respawns? God, I hope not...

Hawkwind: They do respawn, but very rarely. Some people never see the Mantraps again.

HOWEVER: be ye aware of their larger cousins, the Jungle Lilies, which are more plentiful (and like to hang out around large dumb creatures (hint hint) )

I just go past the dang burned out house and there are two of them, poof. I tried looking for them and saw them first but..they still got me. maybe I need to be higher level? everything is level 9 (2 warrores, 1 wiz,1 priest becoming a monk, 1 rouge, and a level 8 worlock/priest).
I tell you, these are things that make me want to ditch the dang game! I have no patients and if I have to run, forget it, I can never mange that fast enough. if they don't kill right off, I guess I give up. i want to kill the two that sneak up on me right away, not wait around. as for getting past them into the castle, I don't want to do that..I have seen post that they will keep coming afater you and you don't know when..I just want them..DEAD. lol

LOL Katt! Run past them to the castle area and turn left...there is a clearing there where you can sneak out and throw Flamestrike spells and the like at them while you heal yourself and rest up to replenish your mana...they die eventually and once they are gone, you will feel alot better!

Good Luck!

Love That PSP!

I need now to get my pet awareness page linked back to my homepage so that I can keep harassing the local media with it!
