I think that may be the one behind the bone golum. He is kind of tough but if you line up all your archers and shoot him down while crossing the floor covered in letters he should be fairly easy.

Hope thats what you needed.

behind the golem is a statue- that the caption says "is waiting for something"- do you know what to put in the statue's arms?

It is for a later Quest.

I was pretty surprised by this level ... well, the difference between my first time through, and my second time through.

In my first time, I was having low-level character, and in the room above the lava room, I just encountered a few Skeleton Warriors there ... when I got there on my second run, my main was a lvl 6/23 Fighter/Thief, and in that case, the room contained a LICH!

Moreover, I encountered a randomly generated group of four Skeleton Warriors, and another Lich. Since they appeared in a hall (the one leading to the tiled room) I had only seen last two seconds before (I'm not joking here), they quite surprised me.

Not to mention that secondary bonegolem that always seems to decide to walk into the "lavafloor" room just when your party is halfway over. I HATE golems! Especially the adamantine one that stepped on Imoen AND my rabbit familiar.

Weren't the Adamantine Golems those golems that always get stuck very conveniently in narrow passages? How can they "step" on your characters?

Maurice · Post by **Maurice** » Wed Dec 13, 2000 7:26 am

Well, they can pound them to bloody pavement pizza's very fast ... comes near enough, I'd say.

Yes, they have OVERDONE Golems in this game, especially when you get to the end ... Suldanesselar seems to be crowded with them. I really hope that in an expansion, or Baldur's Gate III, they'll use Golems only SPARINGLY.

I was speaking figuratively, Omar. I meant that Imoen and my bunny was hit so hard that they got the "salsa death" and could not be resurected. Thus forcing overconfident me to reload the entire Firkraag dungeon.

I always wondered how they manage to fit those huge golems into those tiny passages anyways. Perhaps they construct them on the spot? Or maybe built the dungeon around them?

Maurice · Post by **Maurice** » Wed Dec 13, 2000 7:45 am

I figure the final option: they built the dungeon around them. I mean, it's much easier ... they first had a huge contruction site, where they built the Golems. When they were finished, they collapsed a large part of the area, and modified the rest to form the dungeon as you see it. A lot easier than building them in parts elsewhere, and assembling them on the spot.

By the way, since they go hostile on whatever approaches them ... WHO created them in the first place??

Omar · Post by **Omar** » Wed Dec 13, 2000 7:58 am

No...I think they were summoned into the dungeon from the eternal Golem Construction Plane, by some very high level wizard.

Ah, yes, and before the final materialisation, the mage takes a hike, before he is smashed like a potato.
