Durlag's Tower... spoiler

Halbarad1891 · 08-29-2002, 03:09 PM

On the third floor, I took the helmet in the throne room, hence spawning the dopplegangers and closing the outside door. BUT I had boots of speed on and didn't think the outside door would close, so I ran back into that round room. Now I can't reopen the door to the throne room. Do I have to reload, or is there another way to get in?

Thanks.

You won't have to reload. It'a weird combination of events - one door opening another and so forth. I can't remember at the moment. I'll see if anybody else has answered after I get back in.

Sorry about that. See you later - I'm off out.

Yeah I know.
I figured it out. Thanks.

The first room on the left side of the throne room... man, so many traps!

Halbarad1891 · 08-29-2002, 04:25 PM

How do you take negitive damage? Is it like healing? There are a few traps in the south of floor -3 that gave me -3 damage. I didn't think that was possible from traps.

Ok, this is weird! It's a fireball trap... it heals my main guy (my tank fighter), but it damages anyone else (just killed Imoen)... weird

The specifics of it I'm afraid I've never bothered to explore. I know its one of those strange ones (SixofSpades might know - put out a request on the BG2 forum). As for traps, well anything's possible. It might depend on armour class, actual class, statistics, current hit points, alignment - you name it. Durlag's is difficult, but well worth the effort. Trust me.

BTW glad you figured it out. I've just come back from the old nuclear sub, so I don't know how much good I'd be to you ;D

Ah, so that's why you were away for so long, Lord Brass. I think you were actually ahead of me in posts at 1 point.

No need to post on the BG2 forum, I scout this section regularly (semi-daily) as well....although I only tend to post on interesting topics. (Not stuff like "What class should I be?" and "What is this THAC0 thing?")

The most obvious answer to your negative damage from a Fireball, Halbarad, is your character's Fire Resistance. If you crank it over 100%, fire will indeed heal you. Offhand, it sounds like you had the Helm of Defense, the Ring of Fire Resistance, and a Potion or Scroll of Fire Resistance, while Imoen had....nothing.

I've been up to some new stuff since we last spoke, Lord Brass.....check the link in my sig. [img]smile.gif[/img]
