Fledgling Fyora smodis Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Not sure if this has been mentioned, but when the ogres attack him, they start pushing back. As long as you selectively place your characters and kill ogres so he keeps getting pushed back across one of the bridges- You can steal all of his treasure.

Garrulous Glaahk Geneforgeisformeyukkyu Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 You sir, are a genius. If Zethyron wants your help, he had better pay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Slarty mentioned that it was possible to do it but didn't give the method. I was too efficient and killed them all before Zhethron moved far enough away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 When Slarty mentioned that he had found a way to steal them, I figured that he must have used the ogre attack. Thanks for the confirmation.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yup, that was the method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Superba Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 That's really good, what about its other treasure? Is there a way to reach the little islands in the lava lake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Kiexcolo Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Never really tried it myself but I was thinking would blink pants work for the little islands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I doubt it. Assuming they work like the transportation scarab, you have to have a clear path (i.e. be able to walk there) for the pants to take you somewhere.

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 And I've never seen them work at all, even in combat mode, in the absence of enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora smodis Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 I tried with the blinking pants they don't work for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Geneforgeisformeyukkyu Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Can you describe the method in more depth? I'm trying to steal his hoard, but he keeps killing all of the ogres before he moves away. Do you have to bump the difficulty down or something? I'm playing on torment.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 No, I only did this on Torment. The first time this happened, it was accidental: the ogres were slow in approaching, and Zhethron ran right across the closest bridge to get to them. In duplicating it more recently, I've never had that happen. What I've found to be most successful is to position two PCs "blocking" the nearby bridge so that Zhethron can't get past (he's too big) and the ogres have to stop before passing the PCs. Usually at that point Zhethron will breathe fire, but sometimes he will run to the west to go all the way around and reach the ogres -- you need that to happen. The two PCs on the bridge need to IMMEDIATELY scoot north a bit to keep the ogres from going any further south -- if they do, Zhethron might turn around. If all goes well, on his next turn he will go around the lava area, and the third PC who waited on top of the hoard can begin to pick it up.

Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 At the end of the game I had about 20k. You have plenty of money in this game to buy pretty much anything you want as soon as you see it. Only exception I can see is the 3k training for melee/range dmg. Then again, it is cool to steal from dragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
