Blowing stuff up with powder kegs?

Post by Kennedy »

In SI the Silver Seed I remember to get the rope to climb the well the manual told me to use the powder keg to blow up the debris in one of the blocked passages, though I tried this and it didn't work. There is also a tunnle blocked by debris in the catacombs of Monitor. Were you supposed to be able to blow up debris in the original or was there supposed to be a usecode egg that was supposed to be placed but was missed (Kind of like when you use the powder keg to blast open the doors in the chaos city)?

Blowing up debris with powderkegs works properly for me. (I just played through this part of the SS last weekend.)

Maybe the powderkeg was placed too far from the debris? You could also try attacking the debris with a normal weapon to see if that works.

I had a -lot- of problems with this in the original game as well - powder kegs simply didn't work to blow up that debris, no matter where I placed them. Hacking at it with a twohanded sword did the trick, though.

The powderkeg code in Exult has been quite extensively tested(*), so I'm pretty sure they work :-)

No no no... I'm playing BG the correct way this time! Being the Avatar, I have to be virtuous *hides stolen goods* and responsible with explosives *slides powder keg behind Spark*.
