Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Do I have to kill the Lieutenant?

Do I have to kill the Lieutenant, guards and the deatknights in order to get out of the freekin citadel level 9? As soon as the Lieutenant spots you, he charges with 5 or 6 of his guys. No way I can kill that many. Not to mention the bloody deathknights. Any way to sneak around this? I tried but it seems I am forced into a confrontation with the Lieutenant and his boys. Any advice?

Kill the death knight first before going into the room. It can be done if you have a mage and healing/mana potions. Then try to tackle the other guys.

Yes, you have to kill him., I did this:
Went in single mode into the room. Ran out and lead them through the nifty traps in the corridor - my DK finished off the rest in the drill grounds.

DK => sneak mode, and then arrows. Keeping in sneak mode, so the guards didn't spot me.

here is the screenie to show how to run past the traps.

If that doesn't help, you can enter the room and stick to the south west area to kill the DK patrol. Then, head north and the soldiers will run out of the central room as you get close to the north west corner. They will spread out a bit in the process, and you should be able to take one or two out before the remainder catch up.

With the alchemy skill you have more pots than you'll ever need. I didn't find them difficult, though I did have to chug a few. Playing with melee DK, archer ego BTW.

What I want to know about that area: how to open the second locked door to the stairs? I got the first lock with the lever... can't figure out the second.

This has to be really obvious, but I'm missing it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Edit: n/m -- got it! Never fails -- the moment I post a query, I figure it out!

Did you pull the lever in the guard room? Should have opened a gap in the east, leading to 5 levers. Pull 1-4 twice (down and up each) - should open the west door.
