Is it me or does this area suck? Can't cast illuminate spells and can't see too well in some areas.Hard to get around to find the 3 tablets!!!Just about the time I start finding my way around I need to get to and (air) section.I guess the scuba gear leaks?Can't wait till I finish this area!!So far the game is pretty good hopping Wiz 8 gets here soon...John back to the water

Are your characters wearing underwater helms each, (remember turning in conch shells at the shipyard?)? If so, air should not be any problem. Otherwise, you will have to plan ahead and use the level 6 vine spell, breath of air which replenishes everyone's air but at the cost of 50% of the caster's hit points. So after casting that spell, have another party member cast restore health on the first caster.

ps: barbarians and bards can buy iron lung trait if they are guild level 5 or above

pps: if you don't have enough underwater helms, you can avoid fishing for crabs by dropping a shell at the shops, and now you can buy two shells so repeat as required

ppps: if you don't want to take advantage of the bug above, then take a smaller party down to Coliseum..

Well, I guess it's just a matter of taste - Collasium was actually one of my favorite areas of the game. I loved the swimming and being able to do things because we were in water that we couldn't do anywhere else in the game!

I haven't done this area yet but I wanted to clear something up. Everyone mentions the underwater helms but I thought you also need the "rebreather" shell making the scuba gear a two piece outfit.
