I'm trying to find my way into Rhento's keep (sorry about the spelling) and all I find are plyons upon pylons. Do they every stop? How the hell can I deal with them effectively? It's gotton so bad that I've had to keep a couple of times and I don't really want to do that throughout the game. Any suggesstions? -------------------- My head is longer my own - I am furious.

1. Your range is slightly longer than the pylons' range. You can use this to kill pylons if you have patience, luck, and a lot of energy to burn. 2. You don't have to fight a single pylon or let them fight you. There is always a path that lets you avoid pylons entirely, although it's not always obvious. Try sticking close to walls and back up if you end up in combat mode. —Alorael, who could give more specific path advice if he knew exactly how far you've gotten into the keep.

I eventually got through by just running through as fast as I could (group haste is good), and resurrecting any dead members (luckily my priest didn't die). It isn't really a problem on the way out... Posts: 17 | Registered: Monday, March 6 2006 08:00 |

quote:Quite true. Funny story: On my first time through, I didn't realize that defeating Rentar deactivated the pylons. So I took the time to haste and sneak back out, slightly uneasy about the fact that nothing was attacking me. As another consequence, I never got the spellbooks in the remote tunnels... -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

You don't have to beat Rentar to deactivate the pylons; there's a machine in the upper level of the fort that you can turn off. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Thanks for the advice, it's really come in handy. I've just managed to defeat Rhenta (sp?) and am on the way back to the castle. -------------------- My head is longer my own - I am furious.
