Impossible Golems(assylum spoiler)

Place:golem room with gesen bow string, tokens, and star saphire is Assylum Dungeon, Level 2.

O.K., I'm wondering what I did wrong. The first time, my fighter got traped in the room by himself and got wasted. Nest time, I took the tokens and string, not the saphire, and ran. The golems turned hostile, the room didn't lock, and I was fighting them in the hall. The problem I had was that I wailed away and did a lot of damage, but they would never die. And, no, usually I can kill them without problem. I managed to separate my party from my Kensai Mage, who led them off and traped them in the small pool and statue room. Can these guys be killed, or is this just another odd bug.

 

Sounds like another bug, because I fought them without a problem, but I took them on in the room.

 

I'm sure this isn't an issue for you but I'll mention it anyway...

They are clay golems, so make sure you're attacking them with blunt weapons.

 

Yeah. It must be this.

They are quite hard but with blunt weapons, yoou wil be able to kick their ass. Try using some spells too.

 

No. Not that. I was whacking away at them with three melee characters, two with maces and one with a quarter staff. They were all good enough to hit as I was doing a lot of damage, they just weren't dying.

 

What a stupid place to get a bug too. Being that you are so far in the game

 

Crawl why don't you equip your mage with staff of magi and boots of speed.You can open the chest and while the invisibility is wearing off(usually takes 3-4 seconds) you can get out of the room even you can pass by the closing door.Or you can always cast invisibility(not the 2nd lvl mage spell- it dispels immediately).I got out of the room unscatched with Aerie

 

shadow door... i have found you can do things while this spell in effect.. you can open chests... spells.. with out turing uninvisible... (least i think chests) havnt tried in a while

 

I'm really hoping I don't experience this the next time through. But for now all the golems are locked safely away. I'd like to try the shadow door and invisibility tricks, though. Thanks for the help.

 

Hey, someon along time ago also mentioned the santuary priest spell (1st level) for a different part of the game. Works wonders and you do not get attacked unless you attack something else.

 

Yes, I tried to find the name...I meant sanctuary in my post.It is lvl1 and I always have my clerics memorize one or two... Ironeagle does Shadow Door lets you to attack without being seen?I recall a spell that allowed this,,, or am I wrong?

 

Sanctuary makes a great spell for Ariee to use in her contingency. It's low level, but it makes har invisible and still able to cast healing/defensive spells on herself/others without being seen.
