DIstracting the umberhulks?

lee1001 · 09-13-2002, 04:00 AM

Where do you put the stew to distract the Umberhulks in Nalia's keep?
Don't they just attack when you fight the troll king? So what is the point in distracting them other than the experience you get? In fact isn't it better to take them on before that one at a time rather than have 6 umberhilks and the troll king all at the same time?

Thanks.

To distract the Umber hulks .. you'll have to run an invisible party-member through the chamber they're in. Immediatly after you exit that room, you enter a square-shaped room with 4 exits. The one you just came out of, one to the middle north of the room ( troll-king), and two south-positioned exits, each near a corner of the southern wall.
Go through the first south-exit you encounter, leaving the Umberhulk room, proceed downwards untill the hall turns right, to your left there should be a door/gate,..behind that just drop the umnberhulk-food in the hole in the ground ( dont just drop it, place it in the hole ).

Umberhulks are going to be advancing on you now .. so dont go back the way you came, but go to the right instead, exiting though that second southern-wall exit there was in the square-shaped room.

I hope it makes sense .. it's incredible obvious once you see it, but using words to describe it seems to be a bit more tricky

You can also kill the umberhulks after you distract them, for the total XP of distract + kill; just launch a Death Spell or Cloudkill into the room once they get there [img]smile.gif[/img]

Can you close the doors once you have left there so the umberhulks don't come after you later?

Yes, but I prefer to kill them all for more Exp, after placing the stew.

If you kill them first then place the stew you still get the exp. Nice little bug.

LOL! You're right! I dropped the stew after I killed them the second time around because I figured I had no use for it so minus will leave it with the dog bones.
