Rotghroth Rhapsody Walter Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Just wondering how many of you ever safely stole Motrax's hoard in Avernum 2 without cheating or the character editor. I did it in my game, but found for my nephilim with nimble fingers and wearing nimble gloves or rogues leather (those 2 items don't stack, no benefit to wearing both), I needed 23 tool use, as its a 30 difficulty trap on the alarm. I was kind of surprised that you can actually take his hoard without being caught, however dificult it was. Same for stealing the castles treasury (though you only get 3k gold and a blessed plate mail). You can also take Almaria's treasury without angering the town but you lose reputation, which is kind of odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Can't one just kill Mortrax then theif hiz stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Walter Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Yes, but then you lose reputation and the mages there are hostile to you, and I think they are of some importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Then kill the Mages too. If they want some they can come and get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Walter Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 Well if you want to do things that way why not go slaughter everyone to loot things in places like formello, silvar, and fort draco for instance? I try to avoid slaughtering towns in this game as a general rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I am re-running E3 with 2 parties. The normal, societal norm, obey laws party. The other way. There can be only 1. *this message is funded in part with my loot from the Anama* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I have tried several times to get to his treasure. Only in Avernum 1 and 2 it worked. In Exile 1 it worked, but in 2 there was this irritating statue. i didn't get to steal the treasure. Everytime the alarm went of and I was cooked by motrax (I did safely steal the treasure of (was it Sulfras?) in exile 1. He did notice it, but I managed to kil him.

Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I believe you should be able to zip through in Exile with the combat-end trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Thralni Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I didn't know there even was such a trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 If you go into combat mode and end combat several times, the party will be in different places, and sometimes the party is able to skip over things like traps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
