    You can teleport past it by using the console game.fade_and_teleport(0,0,0,5080,475,475). That will put you up by big circular room, but wont initiate combat.

    It worked fine for me. I only have 1 PC, and he is only level 1, in Rouge. His Disable Device is 20 or so. Skill level is more important, then Rouge level. Raise your Dex, to raise your Disable Device Skill. (Maybe you need a Natural 10+ in Disable Device?)

    For about the 3rd time in 5.0.2 I don't get the dialogue for the trap. It responds like an empty chest. My Rogue is 10th lvl with disabledevice of 19. It should work, but it doesn't and that's why I use the teleport to bypass it. This encounter shouldn't be a big hassle, but it is ever since Livonya put it in. Fix it or get rid of it.

    I concur. I don't feel it really adds anything anyway, but my opinion isn't that important.

    Sounds like something I would do :p

    'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
    'To talk of many things:
    Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax -
    Of cabbages - and kings -
    And why the sea is boilding hot -
    And whether pigs have wings'

    the whole trap thing is fucked - it requires a PC rogue, altho it did get me using rogues which is now one of my favourite classes, it is restricting. Just cos Liv loved rogues doesn't mean everyone should have to use one. Also if the trap was gone, we would stoping getting treads like this.

    I also think it needs to be fixed (at least), we had a thread on that a while back.

    Is someone doing it? Or is everyone waiting for someone else to do it? (Not complaining, just trying to move this forward).

    I may have come across a little 'I hate the trap' there, anyway here's how I see it. Its less work to remove the trap than it is to fix it. If someone wants to put the fixed trap back in I have no problems with that but untill its fixed I don't think it should be in the game anymore.

    Does anyone have a savegame with the trap not working? I might look into it since it's kinda similar to my signpost thing.

    (always worked fine for me, for the record)

    I figured out a very simple way to bypass the trap. Bring a character near the energy field, but not into it. Hit 'C' to enter combat mode. This will make the energy field disappear. Run your character to the other side. Rinse and repeat for your entire party. This worked for me using ToEE FE 4.0.0.

    interesting. we all have too much free time to answer these questions. it's almost impossible to disarm the box with the dialogue action unless you have a high level rogue. Dimension door is good, but i hadn't thought of using the back door after getting the skull (throne door down, back to ladder, up to circular sacrifice room).

    The combat one is also interesting.
