Z'hinda Citadel

Post by Malakian »

In the forge room there's a large locked chest, I don't have a theif in my party and hitting it with weapons doesn't seem to open it. How can I get it open and is it worth it or should I just leave the citadel?

It isn't worth it

There's a +1 or MW greataxe/halberd in there

You'll get better loot in the next area/chapter (but still not great, IMO)

Lightning Generators

According to the walkthrough my thief should be able to disarm the lightning generators in the Z'Hinda Citadel. My thief is level 13 with a Thieving skill of 12. When he tries to disarm a lightning generator the system says he can't pickpocket a hostile. I don't know how else to disarm a device other than through Thieving.

Is his Thieving skill too low? What does he need?

I only did this last week, so I should remember - have you tried using the search skill and if/when it brings something up, disarming it? You should be fine level wise, but ifs probably your disarm trap skill that is the issue if it is that.

Z'Hindel Citadel

I tried your suggestion and got the same result. I used Search and the system shows a treasure bag where the lightning generator is. I think it should show a trap but it doesn't.

Any other ideas?
