The last of the Flail of Ages parts...

Remove all ads!

I'm in the De'Arnise hold, and I have obtained the flail part hidden in the "lost room" or what's it called at level 1, and the one in the golem room at level 2. I know that the third part is with some guard or someothing in the middle section of level two. So my question is, how do you get there? The door is broke! Am I supposed to fix it somehow, or have I missed a hidden door or stairwell somewhere? Help plz!

I'm playing as a good Kensai BTW, (yeah I know, but I have to try it some time, don't I?) and I want to have a good party. Any suggestions? Right now I have Minsc, Keldorn, Jaheira, Nalia and Aerie. I was thinking about taking Anomen with me but I think he sucks. Anyone that has a different opinion or an idea of someone for me to take with me? And someone to leave, of course.

And, lastly, excuse me for my English.

 

you missed a hidden door, when you walk up stairs from first floor (main entrance like), you should be situated somewhere to the east in the map. Then walk northwest and there's a secret door just at the beginning of the hallway

 

Activate detect traps on any of your thieves.
It will detect a few hidden passages on the walls.

 

The door is broke eh? Right next to that broken door is a bookshelf. On that bookshelf IIRC is a key. Take the key around that floor of the keep and open any locked doors. One should take you into a room with a fireplace, go to the south wall of the room, directly opposite the fireplace, and an illusional door will light up. Follow the passage to another room and watch out for traps, beyond the next door is the guy who you are looking for

 

About your party:
If you do not have a romence running with Jaheira, drop her, and give a try to Cernd. He will make a nice addition to your party, and if he manages to reach level 15.(at 3.000.000 exp)he will become twice as powerful with LOTS of spells. And his Greater Werewolf form is an immense fighter as well. Give him a few stuff like Ring of Protection+2, Ring of Earth control, Cloak of the sewers, and his AC will reach -15! Have fun

[Cernd cannot achieve level 15 in SoA and that happens to be the forum you are posting in - BTA]

OK, thank you all! I have another question BTW... ok, a pretty silly one, but anyway. Where do you get the boots of speed? I think you can find them someone in the beginning, but I haven't this time. I'm worried I have missed them, so could you plz just refresh my mind?

 

SPOILER


You can take the boots of speed of the rotting carcass of the munchkin in the first room of the planar prison quest (Haer Daelis quest -- access 5 flagons inn/Bridge district).

 

there are two pairs of boots of speed.

The other pair of boots is in spellhold dungeon, in the token machine. It requires 15 tokens to get them (and they're the best deal with that machine)

 

Ive had problems with that last piece of the flail too. For some reason, it won't let me in the first locked door even when I have the key.

Other timeses, it will.

I demand a full refund.

 

filip du e homo vet du de.

 

OK, thank you. I haven't visited the bridge district yet, that explains why I haven't found them yet.

And regarding Cernd, is he any good? I've never let him join my party, cause I use Jaheira instead. Can he cast that Insect Plague spell? Or insect swarm or whatever it's called, the fifth level anyway. Cause that's the main reason I don't kick Jaheira.

"Phaapylon", that was a different spelling than I'm used too. Don't you have an "English only"-rule at these boards? And, to answer your statement: Den som sa det han va det!

 

All characters are useful, if you find out what they're good at. Cernd, for instance, is in my opinion the best druid in the game. Well, there's not much competition, but still. He can cast Insect Plague, it is after all a druidic spell. He can also get level 7 spells, for example Creeping Doom, which is an improved version of the before mentioned.

 

I've been through the Spellhold dungeon twice and never came across a token machine (and I always wondered what the mithril tokens were for). Where is the machine?

 

well if you cared to explore the upper half of the dungeon you just walk into it, without really looking for it.

 

On the last level of Spellhold go north instead of south path which eventually leads to Bodhi. Go north into room with 4 monsters' faces painted on the wall, use the painting you got from the other south path to open up passages behind the painted figures on the wall. Go north, then through a narrow hallway go east and then there is a door on the south, go into that room, fight the golem, go south once more and that is the token machine room.

 

i thought the jester's armour was pretty neat from that thing, makes whoever you put it on cool colours, and the nice boots of the north are good too *** 50% cold resist must be usefull ***

 

I do remember the area well, I got killed by the mind flayer and just passed on the rest.

 

I HATE Mindflayers! Kills with one hit (well, sometimes) and got what? 50% magic resistance? Argh! How are you supposed to kill them?

 

Backstab? Traps? Brine potions + missile weapons? Potions of genius and/or mind focusing (each hit drains 5 intelligence)? A really low AC + good saving throws? Ambush one at a time?

There be many ways...
