Shaegarne bridge- spoiler...

Howdi, just a quick question

How quickly do you have the kill the ogres before they bring the bridge down, do you have time to clean out the other pesky critters first or is it a mad dash for the ogres?

[andrewas]

Reports vary. First time I did it, they got the bridge. Every other time, I got them. it may be triggered by the conversation with Xuki, she says something about stalling you so the ogres can finish destroying the bridge.

Anyway, if you stomp hard on the bad guys to start with, then pull out your missile weapons and head straight to the bridge, take out the malarite and Xuki with missile weapons (one salvo apiece should do it) and scatter summons to occupy orcs, should leave you with tons of time for the ogres. Best part is, they never hit back while the bridge still stands.

I always rush to them without killing anything, and then when the female mage start the conversation, I cut it short. (You get xp for ignoring her, too).

Killing the ogre is not hard, and I have a great melee battle.

I always send 1 or 2 invisible up to smash Xuki and the ogres while the rest hang back and waste the bozos that you first meet. Works everytime. Only takes about 30 seconds max to race over and rape the ogres, I mean, kill them.

Tried this several times just out of curiosity.
In my experience it seems the dialog with Xuki is the critical point. It doesn´t matter how fast you are - if she says something about stalling you the bridge is destroyed. If you *shortcut* this dialog or kill her before she can start it it´s not difficult to save the bridge.

At least this is what I experienced.

for me, I just charge everybody to the bridge, let someone with high wisdom to lead the charge, so he'll have the dialog " high wisdom dictates that the offer is ... " thus you'll have more experience point.

Even if u kill the ogres befor they destory the bridge it still colapses because if it doesnt then there is no point in goin to the western pass. Because all those NW soldiers cant get thruogh to targos becuase the bridge is down so u have to go to the wester pass. Because once i killed the ogres and the bridge still colapsed.

i thought the reason they couldn't get through to targos was because they were
stopped by the (spoiler)! "frozen water cleric hall".
Since you meet them after you finished the "frozen water cleric hall" [img]redface.gif[/img]

Must have done something like killed the ogres just as they finish off the bridge or something. Cos I killed em and the bridge still stands.
