A2: Northen Islands - Unreachable Body?

[Simulated Knave]

Just above the river dividing Empire and Giant lands, there's a body. It's in a tunnel which goes off the river, above some rapids.

 

For the life of me, I cannot get to it. Is there some secret way I do not know of, or is it just unreachable?

[Dikiyoba]

Dikiyoba doesn't think Dikiyoba ever found a way to reach it.

[Feo Takahari]

As I recall, there's some way to reach every dead body in the entire game. And yes, I would notice--dead bodies are counted as containers, and I'm always mocked by unreachable loot. As for your specific question, wall-bump all over the place for secret passages, and if there's an "other side" to the mass of rock you see, try wall-bumping there as well. Those islands had a rather complicated geography.

[Randomizer]

I'm pretty sure that you have a secret door somewhere to the body.

[Ishad Nha]

In the original Exile 2 it was possible to fly to the location and retrieve the shield found near the body. In Avernum 2, you can't do that, this may represent a translation error on Jeff's part.

 

I don't think there is a secret door anywhere that leads to the body. I should know, I made the outdoor sections into a BoA scenario.

I cannot stand unreachable loot and unreachable areas. Back in Exile 3, I randomly found a debug while mashing at keys early in my playing that let me move freely through walls (I was about 10 at the time, leammealone), and when I saw the areas you couldn't get to (IE: Erika's tower, Sulfras' room, the 3rd empire army base), I bashed my keyboard with just about every appendage I possessed until I found the debug code again. I've never found any other treasures I couldn't reach, though, and I don't recall a body in A2 that I couldn't reach, either...
