Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Escaping Samuels Lair: I have NO COAL BARREL!

Hi all... I am at the end of Act 1, and I have NO COAL BARREL, so I cannot blow up Samuels Lair (in the Forge room) to proceed to Act II. Ive read the forum threads that it says the coal barrel is in Fargus' room, but it would take me all night to walk all the way to his place. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I hear that there is a second way to exit the Lair? The red room where I ran into Samuel (and killed his four 'friends') seems to have a door in the center rear, but I cannot seem to get to that door! It seems to be on a balcony/spot of its own...

Please help! I am compulsively refreshing the boards in the hopes of some assistance.

Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Samuel's lair had a sapphire key, too, right?

this one opens the room to number 13 on Hellfighter's map => exit. You don't get XP for this way, though.

Doesn't actually take that long to go back there -- you'll have to walk across the training area, yes, but the stairs from the barracks will take you right to that level.

Yeah, it's a short hike. And you don't have to do it at all, if you don't mind missing out on 20k xp -- just take the key that dropped in Samuel's lair, go north from the gong entrance, use the key, and off to act 2 for you.

It's worth getting the coal for another reason: Taking off the stupid Citadel armor and murdering everybody for the xp and loot. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
