Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks act 1 pentagram room

i just found my first battlefield key and skills a level or two up.

now i have to defeat 6 bat's but when the sixth is released there comes a major monster out of the wall.

he hits my party about two times and it's game over.

somme info about the monster is welcome

and what level should i be to defeat him,i am level 9 now.



offtopic:what can i do with the pots and vases and bottles,seems like no use to me

That might be tough, either try to go to the battlefield to get some experience if there is anything left for you to kill there otherwise buy shitload of health potions and heal everytime you get hit. Do alot of pausing! And you dont have the level 2 key yet it is the level 1 key you found (there are 2 of them)

Did you read the manuscript just before the pentagram room (and do you have a save before pulling a lever)?

Water flows from high ground to low. The 6 levers are all at different heights....

<span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>Pull the levers from highest to lowest and no gargoyles or earth elemental will appear. You will get a little less experience, but much more loot as a secret cellar under the rock in the middle of the pentagram will be revealed.</span>

Some pots and bottles you can sell, otherwise they have no use.

i think it has something to do with the 6 bats what more can i do then defeat them.


only thing i didn't understand was when the master killed me the bat attacked him.

maybe the bats can do the work for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> or maybe not <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Yrrk I didnt know that well I guess we learn something new every day <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Good then I have something to look forward to when I play start over again

Highlight the text in the spoiler above (click above the word 'Spoiler', drag down then release the mouse button)

When the earth elemental moves from the stairway, you do not have to fight him, just run around and get to the stairs before he can kill you.

Nope:
"6 is thrown" are the 6 levers in the 6 rooms.
"One not shown" => is the 7th lever in the pit - and this opened the door.

Raze and what about if you have opened the levers and killed the stone monster + garg.? Can you close the levers and re-open them again (from the lowest to higher) in order to open the stone in the pentagram and get the staff from there?

Nope.

True. I just checked it out. Nothing happens... Pitty. I am greedy tonight... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

D'oh! And to think I actually killed all those gargoyls... and the earth elemental took ages to kill. Kept having to cast a spell on him, and run, cast a spell and run... It wasn't hard... Just tedious...

Careful with that screenshot. My levers were in a different order: 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 as marked on your map.

HEF, I played this game - I dunno how often - but the levers were always in the same position. Ask Raze, Myrthos, Barnie... was like that in English and in German version <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Please, HEF, look at the screenies, are the lever positions in your game differently set?

and the result => no enemy and the pit

I killed them all too. But for the last one I had to visit Battlefields first. Using the levers is more easy as I see now but you loose xp points. And the stone beast gave me a very nice armor. So I am starting to think that there might be two ways of doing things in the game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

In my game (patch 1.44), the Earth Elemental is hostile towards the garygoles. (Found out quite by accident). Hence, you can release one or two garygoles before releasing the Elemental, and let the two of them kill each other off, leaving one party servely weaken. In my case, one garygole managed to remove 75% of the Earth Elemental's heatlh! A quick whack and a health potion later and the elemental is dead.
