Trouble in HoTU (Makers Island: Spoiler)

[Greywolfe]

I am currently on the Makers Island and have dealt with the first and second floors but on the second floor I made like an idiot. On the central door in the first chamber (the one with the rat beside it) I found that niether of my henchmen could deal with the trap or lock on the door so I decided to eat some damage and tried bashing it. Painful mistake. However now the rat is dead and I have no way of getting the password to get past the mithral golems on the next floor. I tried to fight them and they kicked my...well you get the idea. I am playing a paladin so beyond a few clerical spells and My sword my resources are limited. ANY help would be appreciated.

I'd suggest reloading to an earlier safe point prior to when you killed the rat. The Mithral golems are tough and fast and I died about five times before I managed to beat them ( being a Wiz/PaleMaster/Ranger able to cast one single epic spell, 'Hellball'... which still didn't do much damage. ). Maybe by buffing up on portions, using stoneskin, barkskin, endurance and bull's strength, you can last longer. Or, if it works, try to run back into a room where the Golems can't follow you, rest, and then go back into their room and continue to beat them.

You can't bash the door down I belive, and you need to have (very) high skill to be able to pick the lock and disarm the trap.

If you are a spellcaster - try the pixie familiar, I used that once to disarm it.
The rat only have a usage if you have animal empathy (Ranger/Druid), then you can talk to it.

Otherwise you need to go bash down the golems.



Oh - and by the way - I've added a spoiler tag to your thread title
