Iffy Canned Member # 8014	written Sunday, February 4 2007 14:57 Profile #0 How do I get to the Abyss and other places in Avernum2? My brother said it was possible because he remembered being in that part. Does anyone know how? :confused: :confused: -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, February 4 2007 16:06 Profile Homepage #1 You reach most of A2 by walking. The Abyss is largely unreachable thanks to the Empire's invasion, but you can visit a few places. I can't remember any special trick to reaching them other than dodging road blocks. —Alorael, who vaguely recalls having to reach Harston, the only accessible town in the Abyss, by a circuitous route to avoid the Empire's instant death areas.

Iffy Canned Member # 8014	written Sunday, February 4 2007 16:13 Profile #2 I meant get to the OTHER part of the Abyss. And what I mean by other places is other places of the Empire region (and I have beaten that game) -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity.

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, February 4 2007 16:20 Profile Homepage #3 There's no special trick for getting into the Abyss. If you've completed all three major quests, you've probably seen all of the Abyss you can see. Everything else is blocked off by Empire soldiers. Dikiyoba doesn't remember having any problems visiting Harston, though. Dikiyoba remembers one guardpost (or maybe two) to hack through/fly over/present a pass at, but nothing more.

Iffy Canned Member # 8014	written Sunday, February 4 2007 16:31 Profile #4 But then why is all that automap of Abyss, from far sight, availible? That doesn't make any sense. And if someone could somehow cheat their way into the Abyss or other Empire place, tell me if it is a trick or place please. -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity.

That doesn't make any sense. Because the map was imported from Avernum 1. There's nothing in there. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Randomizer Law Bringer Member # 6785	written Sunday, February 4 2007 18:06 Profile #6 There is something there in the Abyss. Lots of death dealing Empire troops making sure that there isn't anything else. That's why except for select areas you get those automatic killed messages.

The Mystic Infiltrator Member # 7488	written Sunday, February 4 2007 18:45 Profile #7 You can reach various parts of the Abyss by boat. You can't reach Spire, though you can reach Pyrog's Lair, Harston, and the area around Baghra (though not the town itself; however, it's a good idea to have both blue and gray Empire passes). Erika's Tower is accessed only from the teleporter in the Tower of Magi. You can find an entrance to the Scree Pits by going north of Fort Emerald to where the Slith Fort was in A1, and heading west, and have your red Empire pass handy.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Sunday, February 4 2007 20:48 Profile Homepage #8 If you cheat your way into the Abyss, you find a lot of empty space and the occasional instant death script on the edges. Nothing exciting there. —Alorael, who isn't sure whether he felt let down by the absence of the Abyss or not. The setup makes sense, but missing out on part of Avernum is no fun. And then A4 really fails to explain the occupation? Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

My best guess is that the Empire was planning to use the Abyss as a staging area to prepare a massive invasion of Avernum. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.
