Kyshakk Koan Carranzero Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 i'm at the final gauntlet, and it ask me for the 4 passwords, ok, but then it ask for the ritual of safety... i'm wondering it doesn't exists (would be too easy) but can someone confirm it? thanks in adVanCe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It exists. —Alorael, who recommends having it. It makes everything better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I hereby confirm no such ritual exists. Correction. It exists, but neither you nor (probably) anybody else in Avernum knows it or will ever learn it. The Gauntlet was built by the Empire, to secure their only way back into Avernum (save teleportation), as they had sealed off all other tunnels. I've always wondered why they would keep that particular tunnel open, though. The Empire has a few outposts running in A1, and they're all situated very, very far away from the Drake Tunnels. It's actually no good for supplementing or, if needed, extracting their agents in Avernum. But then, it may have been the entry for the Empire's invading forces in the SW, which had no connection to the main army. No wait. I think it's stated somewhere in the series that the Gauntlet was sealed off... but maybe that was after A2. Edit: @Alorael: Really? Geez. I was so sure it didn't. I think I even read a walkthrough somewhere that said it didn't exist... And by the way Carranzero, it's really better to put your questions into one single topic if you have a few of them. Even if they don't come up simultaneously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Internet research proves that my mind is playing tricks on me. There's no ritual. —Alorael, who owes this fact to "Carney2K" c/o AverMan c/o GameFAQs. And Google is half the battle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I've nearly driven myself sane looking for in A1/E1, with no success. After looking through every nook & cranny I could find about ten times over in the course of a month, I finally gave up.

I think it's stated somewhere in the series that the Gauntlet was sealed off... but maybe that was after A2. With the number and severity of the traps in place, I guess the Empire thought that last exit didn't need to be sealed. Or maybe they wanted to be "merciful" and allow in some fresh air. In any case, in A2/E2, you find the exit completely sealed off. I wouldn't be surprised if the Empire sent a lot of those troops through there (after performing the Ritual of Safety, of course) before sealing the exit.

Doubt there came much of fresh air to Avernum-cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Probably not. Then again, there's probably so much air in the cave system anyway that asphyxiation would be highly unlikely. Plus, the plants would help provide oxygen to the underground population.
