Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks *spoiler* Iona Dungeon, can't get out :(

I went to the Castle and there I got kicked out by Janus. A while after I was wandering around the castle how to get into the cellars to rescue Z the mage, I encountered Lady Eola/Iona, she took me to Iona's Dungeons. I'm only a lvl 10 warrior and didn't have a hard time to kill most of the creatures there only the big skeletons with there great swords or those archars are giving me a lot of trouble. They kill me with 1 hit.

I found some levers but that only opens a gate with one of those foul creatures. A few steps further I found 3 transportation pyramids, I tried to open them all 3 (then some potions are revealed but some nasty beasts too), but didn't succeed after 10 times or something, I lost count <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

I tried to sneak there but as I don't have the sneaking skill it's kinda hard ^^ I tried to eliminate every normal creature one by one and to evade the big skeletons by letting them follow me and go around the block, but when I open a pyramid more beasts come and this guy is dead.

Is there any chance I could get out of there or any other way?

PS: Do I have to do anything else but get out of there like the white cat said?

The lower levels are optional. There are a couple points of interest in the first level, but you can come back for them later. The 3 pyramids activate a teleporter pad that takes you to the exit, but you you can skip them.

The exit is west. A shadow potion (you should have at least 1 if you washed the dishes for the cook in the castle) or a statuette would help running for the exit.

Iona's dungeon level 1 map (spoilers)

Your best option is probably changing into any creature, if you have a statuette for transformation. Shadow potions (do you have alchemy skill 1, in which case you could mix yourself some) will work also.

It's worth coming back later at higher level (20+) for the lower dungeons (much exp and treasures), and for the sword required for the holy item quest.

Damn, I knew I had to buy such a statue. I have shadow potions but they don't seem to do anything.

Allright, I tried it with the shadow potions, they work, but I only have 2 of them and I get caught very fast, but I'll may be able to manage it.

I tried loading a previous game too, but the only one I have was when I was just kicked out of the castle, problem is, wherever I go that bitch Iona takes me with her...

I'll be stuck there for some time I fear...

There is an easy way to duplicate stackable items (the 2 shadow potions);
Drag a stack out of (or into) your inventory (or container) and hold down the control key before dropping. This will bring up the split stack pane; type in a negative number and hit enter (the checkmark will be greyed out). This can also be done in the trade window.

I have to say going into that dungeon at level 10 requires some courage,personally i would wait until i was 25+ level.

I suppose you dont have the fade from sight skill? Or any scorpions plus a spare skill point in deadly gift?

I'm out!!!! wiha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just applied the hit and run technique to open the first 2 portals then 1 shadow potion for the third one and the second shadow potion to go trough the portal unseen ^^

And yes, I'm very coragious <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> If I had known what I know now, the foul bitch wouldn't trapped me and I would of killed Janus in the first place (would that be a valid option? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

Anyway, I think I'm going to kill some bees now before doing anything else to gain some levels <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Is there anything you can do at lvl 10? Cause orcs are a bit hard too when they come in packs of more than 2.

I have the quest of zandalor, the death of the duke (where i have to go to the doctor) en some other minor quests (feign death potion etc.) and also the plague in revellon, but didn't get further on that one.

Are any of these doable for a lvl 10 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Cause now I'm getting a bit scared and I'm afraid I'm to low lvl and allready to far in the game. Allthough I just did what they asked me when I received the quests.

But as an example, I did the orc quest where I had to blow up their supply train and poison their waterpit. I didn't kill any of them I just hit and run ^^ That was at lvl 7 or something <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm just a scared warrior I guess <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

You could do the north half of the farmland map (except the cursed abbey) + some Verdistis, and only then the south half - that should easily bring you close to level 20 (good enough for the cursed abbey anyway). Thus you also can find some nice weapons before entering the castle.

You know you answering your question about killing elona and Janus...you cant despite any level you happen to be.(At least not just yet)

I would think that you should try orcs which are level 8-9 though unlss you were talking of orcs which are of a different level?

An easy way of gaining exp is by doing quests,you may want to try and do loads of minor quests to gain a few levels.

You should be able to pick out a few thugs here and there.
