3rd of eight challenges in monastery (spoiler)

Remove all ads!

Could someone please give me some advice as to how to pass the third challenge, in the monastery basement? I passed the first two (5 levels, shadow doors). The third is the one with the 'magic' circles on the floor. I get blasted by those two crystalline monks and have no clue as to what to do

Thanks,

Well ,you are supposed to kill them or step on one of the circles to make them stop working

 

I guess I wasn't clear... I CANT kill them, they beat me to it. And I am using my 170 hp barbarian for the challenges. Anyway, the circles supposedly do something, so that's what I am trying to figure out-any ideas?

Yes, leave and walk up to Aruma. Kill her. Procede to kill all the other monks. Kill Dolon too. The key to get into the next area is on one of their bodies. Then go back to the dwarves and kill all of them too.

Violence > Puzzles.

 

Step on the blue circles, they reduce the amount of electrical damage u get. Whack one monk first toso u won't have both of them drilling u with spells.GL

 

Each round a different circle sort of glows and looks a little sunken. If you stand on that one, you get 10pts of lightning resistance. Basically, this test is just to kill the two monks. They don't get replaced with each flash, which I thought at first.

Do you have a rogue with a decent attack bonus? Or a fighter character with good "Hide in Shadows" skill? The lightning attacks can be avoided with Evasion and they don't shoot them at all if you are in stealth mode when they appear.a

What I ended up doing is hiding each time they monks reappeared, then running up and whacking on them a bit, then hiding again. That avoided the lightning completely.

 

I dont remember having a problem here, just have to kill these two, did take me a bit to get the one with knocking both monks unconcious on the pads and pulling the levers. Went through this whole area with a level 12 dark elf paladin. Did not have any problems and never died.

 

I am now stuck at the spider level in which it seems the spiders always respawn ??!!
(but haven't been playing much of IWD2 lately-medieval total war has owned my gaming time for 3 weeks now...)

There are a lot of spiders, but not an infinite amount. This chamber should be titled "Revenge of the Magic User". What I did was use my sorceress. She stoneskinned herself, which made her essentially immune to the spiders. Then I tested out all my area of effect spells. Gedlee's Arc, Lance of Disruption, whatever else amused me. Spiders dead, damage taken: ZERO.
