I am on the ocean floor of manaan and have to eitehr vent poison to kill the giant firaxa or overload the pressure in the pods. I would rather overload the pods maybe getting some lightside points? Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

SPOILER INEVITABLE
Okay, here's what you do. Anyone who's ever seen Die Hard with a Vengence will know this trick.
You have one pod that can hold 3 units and one that holds 5 units. I can't remember the names of the pods, so I'll just call them 3 and 5. You need to have exactly four units in one pod to overload the machine.
You fill the 5 then transfer from the 5 to the 3, leaving two units in the 5. You then empty the 3 and transfer the two units from the 5 to the 3, leaving the 5 empty. Now, fill up the 5 again and transfer from the 5 to the 3. Since there's already two units in the 3, there's only space for one unit, so when you transfer from the 5 to the 3, only one unit will transfer leaving exactly four units.
Breakdown.
Fill the 5, transfer to 3, empty 3, transfer to 3, fill 5, transfer to 3.
