Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks west door to freedom

from the spider pit, i have climbed to the stairs and using the sneak skill have crept to where soldiers are drilling for practice. the west door is locked but has 2 wires runing to the south and 2 wires running to the north. i have crept to the north store romm and flipped a lever and the south store room and flipped the lever...but the west door is still locked ? any help ? thanks. rev.

When you first entered the citadel and killed the guard, he dropped some citadel guard armour, which the DK suggested you wear as a disguise. Put the armour on and most people will assume you are a new recruit. You can always remove it at the end of the citadel, and go back and kill everyone after completing their quests and learning any skills they can teach that you want to learn.

If you are sneaking to avoid the DK patrols, they are only in the corridors the DK warns you about. Also, they were weakened quite a bit from what was originally planned, so you shouldn't have too much trouble killing them.

There are 4 corner rooms in the drill grounds, 2 north and 2 south (ring any bells?), each with a lever. When pulled, each lever 'says' a word, which form a sentence in the proper order. <span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>Pull the levers NW, SW, NE then SE.</span> (highlight the text to read)

At each corner of the huge room there are 4 small rooms with 4 levers.
You have to pull these levers in the right order.
Each lever say a word and the 4 words make a sentence.

<span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>There are four rooms in the training area, the two that you mentioned and two on the right corners of the training area. Each room has a lever. You have to flip them so that the sentence Beware Of The Traps is said. Room Order: NW, SW,(you did these) NE (right of the Parcours), SE (Straight south of the NE one).</span> Hope this helps.

I had a heck of a time with this "puzzle", but it's because I was trying too hard. First of all, I mixed up the warning about the "far right lever" thinking it meant in this case instead of later. So, I was spending a ton of time running around trying all the various combinations I could, not realizing the "obvious" solution. Doh! I actually hit it by accident and *still* didn't know how I had done it until later when I reloaded to figure it out and it finally dawned on me. Double Doh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I definitely worked way too hard on that one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

As for the death knights, I was wondering why they seemed so "easy" to beat, at least in terms of the warning given. I never even thought to activate the "sneak" skill because I didn't realize my characters had it automatically. So, I would literally try to stay out of sight, but that doesn't work too well when they just appear in front of you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I had a ton of potions accumulated from the battlefields (and regular areas as well ... in fact I'm starting to run into carrying weight issues due to all the "basics" I'm carrying around) and just kept sucking those down until I outlasted the deathknight. Seems kind of unfair that I can use all those potions and they don't get any. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Still don't understand how a bunch of things work, but I'm having fun with it.

you'd be better off not sneaking if you can, guzzle potions and get the exp from the fights is much better, oh unless you wanna use the sneak and shoot with your bow tactic, time consuming but quite good
