Chittering Clawbug Hecate Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 ... I seem to be really bad at it. I'd like to get to the Click to reveal.. Kaz end of the Shadow Road, and the Nodye Pass tunnel without actually killing anyone. Any tips? There always seems to be a guard in the way each time I try. Is it possible?

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 More stealth equipment helps, but some areas that seem to indicate stealth just don't work for me either. On the other hand, sometimes random wandering patterns mean you can get lucky and get through with enough patience. —Alorael, who isn't sure about either of those. He's never made it without creating a savage bloodbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Kaz Click to reveal.. Go to the northwest corner and open the door and disarm the traps. Then in fight mode go from the bend in the passage around to the south. Do it slowly so if you see a servile you can retreat. Nodye Pass Click to reveal.. Go into fight mode and head south into the creation storage area. hug the east and then south walls. Watch for the patrol and retreat when they patrol south and go forward as they head back north. Both places give you a free warning to get out, so you do have time to reach your destination before they go hostile. Getting out of sight counts as leaving. Nodye Pass it's better to start over, because you want that free chance on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Ack! I confused Nodye Pass for somewhere else. That's definitely a place where a fixed wandering pattern with not quite fixed NPC placement means that you have to charge blindly and reload sometimes. I found it reasonable with one character, but trying to shepherd a pile of creations through the doorway without them wandering off or taking too long was a challenge. —Alorael, who felt a bit more sympathy for all those poor, abused Keepers. It was also the second hardest type of mass movement challenge after trying not to get your creations fried in hot floor panel mazes.

Unflappable Drayk Sleeping Dragon Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 If you don't mind cheating a bit (just pretend it's you listening to their footsteps) you can use the code 'showmeall.' It makes enemies show up on the map and it works great for evading hostile patrols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Sleeping Dragon Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 They actually have a long enough pattern that there is no rush. In fact, I often get annoyed at how long it takes them to move back and forth when they're in an area where they'll see me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Agent redemption Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Eh I have drunk mouse syndrome and a bunch of creations so I find it safer that way. I never was good at timing anyway. I assume a loner wouldn't have too much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Hecate Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Sleeping Dragon, I think that may well be my problem. I thought some of the guards were actually static. Thanks for the tip, I'll try the cheat next time. I gave up on these two when I posted the OP, and went off to met the Head Honcho Drakon. And it looks like there's another sneak problem there, too, so I may use this cheat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Hecate Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I went back in a spirit of cleaning up loose ends and reducing the size of my quest list. I killed all the beasties, and exited via the lever, but Learned Dominic doesn't seem to think it was done. I'm not getting the conversation option to say "I cleared it", I'm just getting given the task over again. I can betray the tunnel, but not report it completed. What? Do I have to let the guards see me and go hostile? I am puzzled.

Unflappable Drayk Sleeping Dragon Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Ah, did you only do the lower part of the secret tunnel? Once you pull the lever, another tunnel opens up directly North of the new exit. There you will find a drayk that is the true disrupter of the tunnel.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Uberdhizon Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If you have enough leadership you can bribe it with 400 gold, before that 600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL yeah, I often just excuse my hacking (firebolt 1223 damage) as my pervious shaper trainingn and healmenow as "resting" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Blurb Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 You don't have to bribe the drayk at all. You can convince him, with high leadership, to leave. Maybe somebody else here knows how much leadership that takes. Just lie and tell him it doesn't matter, you're just looking for stuff left behind, and the Shapers will be there soon. As to fight mode, I don't use it. It's so cumbersome. All you really have to do is go fast and don't stop. To cross the road to the other side of the tunnel Dominic is interested in, wait until the soldiers have passed from the east to the west. They are farther away and don't see you. I leave the creations behind, although that is not necessary. There is plenty of time for the whole party to get to the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
