Interesting new discovery

Has anybody noticed that in the Shade Lord place whatever in the temple ruins that the statue you talk to to get those tokens has something? If you press tab there on it's eye a blue thing shows up like where you can grab something. But I can't figure out how to get it. When you move your cursor over the statue the talk icon comes up. I tried to change the feeback levels but either that doesn't work I didn't do it right. I also tried to kill it, but it doesn't die, not even ctrl+y. If anybody can figure out how to get this, or knows what item is there, please respond.

No offense, but it's an old, old discussion, that occurs here periodically when someone finds it for the first time.

There's nothing to take.

I think what you are referring to is the "creature" that allows you to talk to the statue. It is just a shortcut that the programmer used to produce the effect of a talking statue.

The reason it shows up as a "container" when you hit tab is that it has to have an inventory to store the fragment of Amaunator's holy symbol. No you can't pick its pocket. Sorry.

There is a similar "creature" in the statue in Spellhold dungeon (the gate between level 1 & 2).

Oh well, I just thought maybe it would have been something cool.

fable forgot...

what you need to do is to have thief detect traps, then when trap is detected move whole party so statue is covered by fog of war, then move in thief to disarm, move thief out of fog and take...as long as statue is out of sight radius of the party, you can take its item a single diamond...

hard to describe, but try it,
