Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Minefield before the Immaculate Cathedral

So, before the cathedral you have to pass through a very hard minefield (for me at least, my mage had perception 10 and Light Stepper).

When you fight and kill the two orc slavers, their slaves run away, but they don't see the traps and die.

Is there a way to turn off all the traps? Or i just have to get resist fire and trigger all of them so the slaves can escape?

I think your mage should be able to see the mines, since he basically has 12 perception for locating traps.
If not, try to use fireball here and there in order to activate the traps or get an item that pushes your perception to 13.

You don't get any bonus for the slaves making it out alive though. As cruel as it may sound, they're just cannon fodder.

Fireball makes it marginally easier as well, especially if the traps (and they are in this case IIRC) are somewhat linked.
