Exile I, Orb of Thralni problem

Author	Topic: Exile I, Orb of Thralni problem
Syff Apprentice Member # 7601	written Monday, October 23 2006 19:50 Profile #0 While this isn't as technical as the other problems here, this is an in-game problem that seems not to have an in-game solution, including any uses of the Exile Editor I can see. My party used the Orb of Thralni to fly over a river to a small ledge, just east of the Crypt of Drath. However, there's a group of monsters in the narrow tunnel back to "land," and you can't fly over monsters. There are two other ledges I can get to, one north and one south, however neither allows me any option of flying elsewhere. Screenshot available upon request. Is there any known solution?

Most monsters like this, I suspect, were randomly generated. Also, this belongs in Exile Trilogy... -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Syff Apprentice Member # 7601	written Monday, October 23 2006 20:45 Profile #2 That's the problem - There's no "other stuff" to do. I'm stuck in a dead-end, with the only way out blocked. My only options are pretty much either to rest until I starve, use the orb to dunk myself and die, or stop playing. A game-ending situation without an in-game solution sounds like a technical issue to me.

When you start moving, monsters move too. -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00

Moving to one of those other ledges should certainly get him to move. Maybe it's impossible, but I bet if you fool with it you can manage to escape. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

Even if not, those gazers should walk around a little if you walk around long enough, I think. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Tuesday, October 24 2006 08:32 Profile Homepage #8 I don't think the E1 character editor has that option - there's only leave town, which is not much use in this particular case. Unfortunately there's no Word of Recall spell in E1, either. However, having looked at that screenshot I see a not unfamiliar situation, which I've encountered myself and out of which I managed to get. I'm confident the eyebeast will move around if you wait. Try resting; you have plenty of food. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

The Mystic Infiltrator Member # 7488	written Monday, October 30 2006 09:45 Profile #9 I've been in similar situations many times before. Either sit there and wait, or move back and forth. The monster should move; when it does, spring into action and fly out of there. The only drawback is you'll probably have to fight the eyebeast to continue on. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts. And I know I'm not crazy because the little man who lives on my shoulder told me so. If people don't think there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with you.
