    The first time I played through, I managed to talk to him before his golem servants got me so they never attacked at all. A coincidence, I suppose, because now the moment I get in the estate they attack. Is there anyway get through and talk to Thalantyr while they are hostile? Or should I just come back at a higher level and kill them? Thanks!

    Have you tried just sending in one NPC and have them run past the golems so you can talk to him? Other than that just make sure you use magic weapons on them.

    I have tried. One word for you :Bloodbath :D
    My poor fighter got wacked in seconds. Of course, it's probably because I'm too early into the game. I'll try again, thanx!

    The golems at Thalantyr will always attack you as soon as you come in. But if you're quick and talk to the mage, you can tell him to call them off.
    They're good XP, so I wouldn't.

    Another option is to drink a potion of Absorbtion. IF you have one of course. It will give you an extra +10 vs crushing attacks.

    I'm usually at a very low level when I do this quest (talking chicken) but that potion helps alot. As Taluntain mentioned, the 2000xp is not something you may want to pass up in this game. Enjoy :)

    [​IMG] I dunno why, but I think if you kill Thalantyr before the golems, it'll be easier, because I think they either wont attack or will attack one by one. I dunno if it's really true or just a glitch, but it worked for me, I whacked both golems with only a Qstaff+1 and Hammer+2(+1electricity)

    [​IMG] Whoa, buddy, you don't want to kill Thalantyr! If you do, you can't get any of the nifty items he sells, no spells, no nothing. Killing him is the dumbest idea ever. He's worth much more alive.

    [​IMG] Tell me about it, I didn't have money when I killed him, so towards the end, when I had a WHOOOOOOOLE shitload of it, I couldn't get any of the archmage robes. :( Made the game more challenging I suppose :D
