Durlag's Tower: Fireball room

Post by Klorox »

I'm having a problem getting past that fireball room in Durlag's Tower. It isn't that I can't rush by it, but it does a whole lot of damage to my guys. Is there a "secret way" to avoid a lot of damage here? Can I shut the thing off?

no, you cant turn it off. Just position a party memeber on right outside the blast area, then have him/her run across right after. Do it 1 or 2 people at a time


boots of speed help, but arent nessicary

yes as he said it cant be turned of but if you are quick and go just after it blows then you can easily get to one of the passages at the side.

Haste spell would help.

If you time it, you can actually get your entire party from one side of the room to the other before getting fried by the fireball. Start running just as the fireball finishes going "Boom!" and you'll make it.

The important thing to note is that the doors out of the room are closed (and locked, if I remember correctly) and so you have to open the doors before entering the room!

There is also a scattering of (low level) treasure in this room.
