    OK, I just spent 45 minutes searching this forum for the answer to this but came up with nothing more than other people asking the same question.

    So... WTF am I supposed to do with the control box on level 4 with Livonya's Mod? Talking to it does nothing, disarming it does nothing. What am I supposed to do?

    I should mention that I don't have a rogue in my party but I have a ranger with high enough disarming skills to get past every other trap. It seems a little screwy to make a mod that requires a particular party build.

    Anyone know what the hell I am to do?

    You should not forget that it's a BETA. balance problems should indeed be expected.

    People who say, 'cast ice storm' are exploiting a vulnerability. Ignore that.

    There is at least one high DC thing in one of the nodes, so knowing how to disarm/unlock/thieviate stuff above your abilities is handy. Try things that will increase your skill in that area. A 'Cats grace' spell or gloves of Dex (I assume it is a dex skill not an int skill) and a Bard singing to inspire you are 3 examples straight off the top of my head, there are probably others.

    Edit: omg my user title thingy just turned purple! I am king spammer! Take that Allyx! :grin:

    I disarmed the trap thruogh dialogue with my rogue (13 ranks, DEX 18).
    No Ispire Competence needed this time although that's always handy.

    Maybe you should try interrogating some monsters around... ;)

    Thanks for all the replies.

    ***possible spoiler alert***

    A couple things. I read the the spoiler topic and unfortunately, I think I may have, though I am not certain completely emptied the level before the control box so there is nothing to talk to.

    I'll try boosting abilities.

    My bad, it IS an Int thing (outsmarting a trap. Makes sense :)) O well, Fox's Cunning, Headband of Intellect, Ioun stones, Masterwork thieves tools...
