jsidhu762: Hello everyone!
I'm trying to lure the manticore into the trap room. Trip told me how to do it but when I try to pull aggro on the manticore he just stays put - almost like he knows what's up.
1. In addition to shooting a crossbow, the DRUID can cast 'one with the land' before entering the manticore room
2. Have 2 poisons in each barrel. *It might not be necessary to have 2, it is just what I did for "good measure'.
Also, I believe the smashed containers left a poison so maybe you only need 1 in each barrel.
3. Use 'One With The Land' on your character.
4. Use Charm Animal on the Manticore at level 5. In fact I was 1 level drained when I did it.
5. Have the manticore follow as a hireling to the gas room and told it to 'stand your ground' and then
pull the lever near the exit. I received 500 xp.
