Hello,

I just started BD and I'm already stuck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I need to blow a torch in Citadel level 3. I don't know how to do that. I can't train my trap skill 'couse I don't have the skill yet. I have Trap Material. But how to use?

That's what it ment right?! 'Blow the torch' means blow it up??!
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks, Cyn.

An other question...

I'm out of Samuels prison, but now I'm in the Patrol Area.
I put on the disquise of that guy I killed and it doesn't work on the death knights my partner tolled me. But, I even can't hurt the Death Knights. They are level 10 and we are level 7. That shoud not be a problem, but I don't even hurt them a little bit.
Can anyone help me??!
Greets, Cyn.

As for the Deathknights, the disguise does not and should not work against them. There are two options I know of for dealing with them that do not involve cheating.

You can level up in the Battlegrounds, and gain gear there, to where you are powerful enough to slay them. Downside: Many people find leveling in the battlegrounds is boring and makes the game too easy for them.

You can sneak past them by being careful and learning their patrol routes. Downside: You don't get any XP/Loot from them if you just sneak past (unless you go back and kill them later), and you don't get the satisfaction of beating opponents your companion told you are far too tough to handle.

The DK patrols do take a little strategy to defeat, at least if you want to fight fair.

What type of weapons are you using, any what character types are your hero and DK?
For conventional attacks you will need to have a reasonably good Agility (accuracy and evasion), Survival (initiative and accuracy) and/or Speed (evasion, initiative and attack / recovery rate). For magical attacks, they are not particularly vulnerable to anything. Resistances to conventional attacks are all 10, bone and shadow resistances are 30, while everything else is between 50 and 60.

It was at this point in the game I switched my hero to a full time archer (set to aggressive, to automatically attack if not selected as the leader). Before that many of the opponents were better dealt with using crushing damage, and I was conserving arrows (not necessary with the patch installed or an already updated re-release game version). In this area I moved both characters separately, to make sure the archer was always following behind, so that only the warrior would attract a DK patrol.
BTW, playing again I would have the DK be an archer (bow). Since his armour goes up with his level he doesn't need as much strength for equipment requirements, and could concentrate a little more on agility.

When sneaking you should still be able to outrun the DK patrols, and get to a storage room, etc. Hit and run tactics work well (especially if you sneak in, use a ranged attack and withdraw before they can see you). You can have one character run around using hit and run tactics, or simply as a diversion, while the other does most or all of the damage from a distance (bow or magic, though with a bow they can be set to aggressive to attack continuously).

The act 1 summoning doll can equip a crossbow. It may not last very long if attacked, but if you keep it out of harm's way it can provide good support. Most of the time I didn't bother with it, but it came in handy for a few tough fights.


With the latest game version the BF merchants regenerate their inventories each time you enter, so you could try visiting a few times to get better equipment.
