(spoiler?)

























chapter 5, dragon's eye lv 2. you need to get the hemp rope from a locked chest near the dead guy's body. (boulder chamber) The problem is, none of my guys have a high enough lock pick skill (highest is 9) and i tried to get my barb to force lock, but that failed. so................ i am hereby STUCK..... ANY help would be appreciated... thanks!

I believe a strenth of 26 or 28 should be enough because I couldn't open it either by lockpicking. I was forced to buff my strongest character with the best strength increasing spell I had. Otherwise I believe there are a few Potions of Master Thievery around Dragons Eye that you could try.

Actually using all those strength buffing spells was unnecessary. Only the highest strength bonus is calculated, in your case, all you probably needed was Blood Rage or Champion's Strength, but glad my advice helped nonetheless.

oops i mean barbarian rage :P blood rage makes u loose control of ur char...... though i think u *could* charm your character back and control him again (in theory) never tested... so it was the champion str.
