Articulate Vlish Skladzien Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hi. I have problems with recovering orb of thralni. in the caves there is a lot of basilisks and they stone whole my party before i am able to kill them (they are stacked up for 2-3 in each place). I've red somewhere that crystal charm prevent from being stoned (and crysal shield but i use 2-handed weapons on 3/4 of my chars - the last one uses bow). Can someone give me locations where Crystal charms may be obtained (i think i had one but i probably sold it)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Avoid the center island and I think you can recover the Orb without fighting the basilisks. Skladzien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Skladzien Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Oh thanx I thought Thralni is guarded by those two basilisks but couldn't check if it lies in any of their nests because get stoned P.S> I thought Thralni s special item (like Branches or Athame - not a common one).

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 That orb is 1 of kind not common item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 That orb is 1 of kind not common item. Right, but unlike the brooches or the blessed athame, it is an actual item in your regular inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Right, but unlike the brooches or the blessed athame, it is an actual item in your regular inventory. yea but it can't be dropped (at least in AEFTP) like any other item.

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There may be a Crystal Shield for sale at the outdoor mine/foundry north of Dharmon. Generally, Haste your party, Slow the monsters and hit them with your most damaging spells. If only one person has a Crystal Charm or Shield, send them ahead of everyone else. Bind Foe may be useful, ditto summoning a lot of monsters to act as cannon fodder. You don't need the Orb of Thralni in the early part of the game, you can leave it until you have some levels under your belt.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 yea but it can't be dropped (at least in AEFTP) like any other item. Sure. This is the First Trilogy forum though, and it IS possible to drop it (even outdoors, I think?), and lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Add the Orb to your party, via the Character Editor if necessary, go outdoors and see if it can be dropped. Edit: A quick test shows that you can drop it outdoors and it is gone forever! Either reload the current game or use the Character Editor. In the Editor click on Add Artifact.

Articulate Vlish Skladzien Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I do not want to use editor (used it once to reset boats because had lost track of one of them and cannot get to hidden tower). Ishad thanx for hint about crystsl shield - it helps a lot, it saved my ass in few other locations. Anyways Randomizer was right and getting orb did not require killing basilisk. I was gettin orb when my party was early 30's so it wasn't really early game :-) now when i finished almost whole game (at least all of main quests - because i am sure there is still a lot of side ones to do) i start to play my favourite part of saga which is A2. First time i played it it was a demo, now thanx to GOG i have full version, and at last i understand the prologue about striking hawthorne :-) Still don't understand why it does not say anything about me slaying adze or grah or why i can't find demonslayer in Fort Draco where i finished first avernum :-) Cheers to everyone and Thank You Spiderweb for giving us this great saga (my favourite right after planescape and baldur's gate).

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Demonslayer is reforged in Fort Draco from 3 separate parts (special items) that you find scattered through out Avernum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish Skladzien Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Yup i know. I had it on my Main charcater in A1 reassembled ofc (it would be hard to kill Grah-Hoth without it), but i finished first avernum standing with my party in middle of fort Draco, and despite that it (demonslayer) is not in fort Draco in Avernum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Demonslayer is hidden elsewhere in Avernnum 2 for safe keeping like the Orb of Thralni. (We all know how well that worked out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (We all know how well that worked out) As well as keeping Grah prisoned or out of Avernum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
