Nasty Trap

Remove all ads!

Hey all I am a new member of the boards, old player to BG, but new to the boards. I have a issue I was hoping somone could help me with. I have played with the exspantion quite a few times and never had this problem. In in Durlags Castle second lower level south of the big room behind the 4 statues there is a set of really nasty traps that seem to reset themselves. The first trap is a fire ball lighting trap and little Imoen cant disarm it with a 70% and I cant get around it.....any ideas?

I am sorry for posting a second one, but I forgot to mention...no matter how many times I load the game there is a trap taht goes off that cant be detected ...a fire ball trap...same location right as Imoen enters to disarm the first one ....please help

 

The bad news: these traps can't be disabled
The good news: you don't have to. Just avoid that area and use the hallways in the NW and SE of the big central room, they will give you access to all the other rooms of that level.
Btw. Imoen's 70% in Find/Disable Traps is a bit low for Durlag's, better keep a few potions of Master Thievery ready- and watch out for those dead bodies on the floor, they do have a meaning

 

Try casting some protection from X spells on your characters. Protection from Fire coupled with a fire resist ring lets anyone avoid those nasty fireballs.

There's a lot of areas in Durlag's Keep where you need only one or two characters to proceed, so you don't always have to get everyone past the traps.

Oh, good luck with the endfight!

 

thanks....new prob though

Thank you I got around it..............I am now running into a second problem though.....I didnt have any problems last time I played this game.....3rd level with the little circular thingie with doors....south eastern door where you find the ward stones.......I got the first door open and got all three ward stones and the secret door that is on the other side of the wall ( not the one that tales you to the carpet room with the switches) but the door that takes you through the rest of that level will -not- open for me....I hope I am not being a pain with all these questions. I tried differnt walk throughs to see if it told me somthing and for the life of me I cant recall how I got through last time! And yes I did wack the dummie too!

I feel like a dork. I figured out what I was doing wrong, my appologies for all this .....thank you for all the help

 

It's a super trap that forces you to take another route.
The animation seems to suggest the floor gives way and you fall to your death.
No way to disarm that...
