Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Geez.. help with locked dressers in stormfist cast

I can't believe after searching the forums so much I have't found anyone with the same question.

Ok, I'm at stormfist castle, I'm almost level 31 (goofed off a lot before takign the quest, needing to redo)

HOW do I open all the locked cabinets? And how do I get into that treasure room behind Janus' room?

The problem is, even though I have level 5 lockpicking, the castle WONT LET ME USE ANY SKILLS!
Is this supposed to be?

I did figure out how to open any chest I want, I dragged it into my inventory and took it to the wine cellar, my skills work down there, but I can't do that with ALL those fricking cabinets with no key, as well as the doors.

*********
ONE MORE QUESTION:

I REALLY don't feel like taking all this stuff to the dungeon afterwards, do you think it would be possible to put everything into a chest, and throw it over the wall, then I could retrieve it later after I'm back outside? Or will it just dissappear or something?

AND

Does stan's bow serve any purpose?

Thanks for everyones help!

There should be a key for most of the locked doors and cabinets. The key for the armoury is in the room just north of there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> I don't recall being unable to open anything.

There is no way to get into the treasure room, except by cheating (Teleporting Anywhere, via hex editor).

I put all my loot into one chest, and tossed it out the front gate, to be picked up later. It will not disappear.

There is no quest relating to Stan's Bow. I believe one of the existential skeletons in the catacombs was named Stan....

Yes, this is my second time in stormfist, and I also don't remember being unable to lockpick last time. I wonder what happened, since this is on the same patch.

The only way to lockpick is to drag chests into the cellar with wine. There are about 1 or two cupboards that are locked, that I can't open because I can't lockpick them, or find the key.

I also can't use any spells or other skills either.

Thanks a bunch for the help, hopefully whatever is in those cupboards isn't too big of a loss.

I bet there's nothing in them, they're just locked with nothing in there, or else really really nice mithril, just throw them out the gate locked. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

There is no magic allowed in the castle, so you do need to bring chests to the cellar to Lockpick. Some people left them on the castle wall (to be grabbed later with telekinesis), or tossed them out the front gate.
Now that I think about it, I may also have run into a locked cabinet. It was in one of the rooms on the western side of the castle, IIRC; I kept exploring thinking I would eventually find the key, but I don't think I ever did.
