Articulate Vlish Aldin Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 So I set off the Rentar Ihrno trap and am rather annoyed. It's not that it isn't surviveable - it's just that it's SO much harder than almost anything else so far. I guess I kinda saw it coming, but still... ~Aldin, who already hated pylons _before_ the trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Trust me, those aren't nearly the hardest pylons in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Grain of Salt Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Kill the pylons on the way in. They don't anger the surrounding area. And copying Alorael's sig is likely to result in a painful death by snipage. Don't say I didn't warn ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Thanks, Wonko. Note that you don't have to spring Rentar's trap immediately. You can have a nice jaunt through the Great Cave before tackling pylon nightmares. —Alorael, who also recommends planning. Killing everything at random is difficult. Killing things in specific orders and in specific ways is much easier. In particular, your range is longer than pylons', and preventing fear makes everything much easier. Just make sure not to let those wyrms get out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Slow and Daze are two of your best bets for controlling the wyrms. Lightning spray is best for crowd control, particularly when followed by a good Daze. Don't forget to ration out the healing/energizing waters in the basins. They help a lot.

Rotghroth Rhapsody WiKiSpidweb Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I just hasted one of my characters and let him run back and let the others die. I had already killed the Vahnatai upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Acid spray the pylons a few times and retreat to deal with the monsters. Area effect spells like icy rain and lightning spray speed up the killing process with the monsters. It takes a few energy potions to finish the trap, but you can fight your way out without killing the vahnatai and pylons on the way in to the trap.

Articulate Vlish Aldin Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hmmm, I just might reload to kill the pylons on the way in, but probably won't - especially knowing that their range is less than mine, which is a nifty fact I wish I'd tumbled to much earlier. Thanks for the support and advice! ~Aldin, who noted in an earlier thread that he has been doing the Alorael sig thing since previous incarnations on other boards and likes Alorael partly because he does it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
