Seasoned Roamer Nefarian Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Not sure if it's already been posted...but was it feasible for someone to get through this way into the southern region early? I mean heck, even on my super beefed up Guardian who could sorta manage the first part of Disposal Vault (and interestingly enough succeed on the part immediately after that) on Hard difficulty...this area was a huge pain in my ass. You first meet all the annoying worms who make sure you're constantly covered by acid and then you meet that PoS gazer who has 10 million turrets. I can't burst him down fast enough before the submissions come in and stunlock me to death. And to make things worse, the gazer was smart enough not to be lured! When I sent in someone to suicide he would just remain put and stay in the corner. (interestingly enough, the only way i beat this encounter was by creating a couple of diversion cryoas to act as fodder and buy my Guardian time to kill the actual gazer) And this was on an end-game toon too!! How is a character halfway through the game supposed to win at this? Or is it the standard "charm makes you win here"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You aren't supposed to be able to take on the gazer when you first get to the area. He's something you come back for near the end of the game. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Nefarian Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 But how else are you supposed to get past it? The lock to the lever to open the gate comes from the key he's holding. Or do I have that and something else confused? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Ceiling Durkheim Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The Kratoa-Kel quest gets you to the Storm Plains just as well as going through Lerman's Pass does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned once he came through this zone first to reach the Storm Plains instead of the Kratoa-Kel Fortress. Edit - It was Lerman's Pass that DV swept through like death incarnate.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 To clarify: you only need the gazer's key in order to leave via the south exit. If you manage to get yourself trapped in that zone, you can leave the same way you came in by killing the mind-controlled dude in the room to the south of where the gazer is.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Tracer Bullet Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 You can? I got SO stuck there. Couldn't kill the Gazer, couldn't get out the south, couldn't get out the north, erg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoned Roamer Nefarian Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 So you're never supposed to get to the southern portion by this? Basically you're forced to go through stoneworks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yes, you will have to go through Stoneworks to get to the second map. You can eventually kill the gazer and unlock the southern gate, but it won't be until you're much further along in the game. Dikiyoba.

Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I did it using the servile, with a min-maxxed blend of melee and spells, favouring melee. I also had a bunch of goodies from killing the unbound, though. Can't remember if I was on normal or hard. I went back and did the stoneworks right afterwards, because I didn't feel like taking on podlings with a solo character on whom I had just expended the VAST majority of my resources (Pods, wands, etc...) Also, it felt somehow wrong to skip the stoneworks action to get to the storm plains. Disclaimer: I am also an inhuman robot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Halt Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 The Lerman's Pass is an easy place to get past. 1. Make sure you have at least 400-500hp 2. Have at least 250 essence 3. Make creations to take turrets out while you kill the gazer 4. Kill the mind-controlled dude first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Mod. Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Originally Posted By: Warlord Aidan The Lerman's Pass is an easy place to get past. The pass isn't hard, the gazer with his turrets is much more so if you choose to fight him. I've never done it, but i recall that after hitting the gazer, he will follow you, and you can lead him out of the room with the turrets. Take him down and the turrets will be much easier.

Unflappable Drayk Zummi Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I did it once on Torment with a Shock Trooper using a bunch of Corrupted Thahds. They're the rothghroth equivalent at that part of the game (and they have unnaturally high energy resistance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
