grumblycakes Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 in the northeastern corner of the Dark River where all the volcanos, fire lizards and fiery demons are, there are two barriers... one I can dispel as usual and one I just can't, even with Dispel Barrier at level 5. Is it possible to dispel it or is there another way to get behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby-Linn Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I haven't done that part yet, so I don't know how much help I'll be.... But I did land on the shore of that island and I saw a secret passage. Have you looked for more secret passages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumblycakes Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 yep I pretty much went through the whole area pressing U frantically... no new buttons besides the ones I already knew about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomizer Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I remember being able to dispel both barriers during beta testing. It might be that your combination of magery and spellcraft wasn't as high as mine since that adds on to spell level to take down some barriers. Synergy had some barrier strengths marked on his list because he couldn't get through them when I could. Jeff's minions hadn't stocked that area so I don't know what was hidden there.

Student of Trinity Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 As I recall there was one tough barrier that only defended a small cave full of lava bats, and some minor loot. Nothing to mourn too much if you miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumblycakes Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 That worked! I equipped my mage with the equipment that gives the best magery and spellcraft bonuses and was able to dispel the barrier. There were some elixirs behind it... Thanks for the help!

grumblycakes Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 and another thing- I was able to dispel it with dispel barrier level 3 and small boost to magery. It makes me think some barriers require a minimum level of magery on top of the required spell 'power'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micawber Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Apart from the initial required level to cast a given spell, there is no difference between spellcraft, magery, spell ability and mage spells skill. They are all added together to determine the spell strength. Thus, all else being equal, dispel barrier level 3 is exactly the same as dispel barrier level 1 + 2 levels of magery. Edit: poor arithmetic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumblycakes Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 heh if I knew that sooner I wouldn't have spent all that money on spells.... not that there's anything else to spend money on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadfan17 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Actually, you can eventually buy certain skill ranks exactly like you buy spell levels. This includes skill ranks in Spellcraft and Magery. But don't worry, if you pick up and sell EVERYTHING, you can buy almost everything you could want in terms of skill ranks by the end of the game.
