Amaunator Trap

Remove all ads!

In the ruins the Amaunator statue that quizzes you on chatechism (religious rites and obligations) has a trap.

I can find the trap. But I can't get the icon for disarming the trap to appear.

I decided to just take the damage to see what the goodies are. I can't do that either.

I can only get the icon for pickpocketing the statue to come up. So what the hey, I says to myself, I'll just pickpocket the statue and take the damage.

Well in her unsuccessful attempt to pickpocket the statue, my female thief behaved in what I can only call a very unladylike manner...she moved against the statue in an inappropriate way for the better part of an hour. Apparently this excited Anomen, who took this particular time to decide to praise her many virtues.

I have to admit to a giggle. But... still no treasure.

Any suggestions?

 

The riddle statue in the far NW corner of the ShadeLord Dungeon?

I was never able to get in it.

If you look careful you can see a small object (person?) in there you are talking to.
It looks sort of like the small guys in the tanks in the first dungeon in the game.

You can attack it but it must have infinite HP...
You can't get close enough to pickpocket...

Just take the prize it gives you.

 

It doesn't have unlimited HP. But it has about 4000, so it may take some hits to take it down

 

Do I understand correctly? You need to attack and kill the statue (with 4000 hp) before you can disarm the trap?

Does it fight back? Do you get lots of xp for doing this? It could take awhile.

Thanx, Tayja

 

My thought is that what you see (the item beholder and the talkable figure) are only means for the programmers to make a statue talk and offer items... The figure talks and the beholder holds the item you get when you answer the questions correctly. So my guess is that there are no goodies, just the piece of the (IIRC) sun mask...

 

You can pickpocket the statue without disarming the trap. What you have to do is get all of your characters out of the room so the statue starts fading from sight, then hit the tab key.

An eyesocket will light up, and you can get your normal pick-up icon and click on the eye.

You then walk back to the statue and remove the diamond (as i recall it) from the eye.

 

Ah there you go, please then ignore my poorly initiated message

 

Too much work for a stupid diamond!

4000 HP!? Holy...

 

So does that mean you can get stuck in the quest by killing the statue BEFORE passing the quiz?

 

Yochi, Thanks that did the trick. I left the room and then the "disarm trap" icon came up over the eye.

I had to leave the room again to get the treasure icon to come up. Then presto! Diamond.

I tried to see if I could kill the statue. At this point I can neither confirm nor deny if its killable.

I left my characters beating up on it for about two hours of real time while I went and watched Enterprise. When I came back they were still whacking away at the cheerfully still animate statue statue. I estimate that they were around 10,000 hp. (roughly 80 hp damage per minute x 120 minutes). Besides, I couldn't think of a role-playing justification for my party to beat up the statue for 17 hours (their time).

 

Whaaaatttttt...kill a statue with 4000 HP to receive a simple diamond??? Gee, just use CLUAConsole and creates it... !
