I am a level 10 assassin/level 7 rogue. I am playing the single player and have gotten all the way to the inner sanctum. I spoke to Morag and then fought the enemies shes summons. So now all I have to fight is her which I can't because I have to kill some of the guys behind the spike trap. I know I have to destroy the statue to disable the trap. The problem is that the game doesn't let me destroy the statue. I have tried sword, mace, axe , short sword, rapier and all say weapon ineffective cannot harm object. My henchman unfortunately is Linu and I can't get her to bash the statue. I have gotten her to fire arrows at the enemies behind the spike trap but that doesn't work. Is there anything I can do that will allow me to continue this game or have I missed something in the past that doesn't allow me to complete the game? This is very frustrating since I am right at the end.

Additionally I have had problems with this game. It crashes after startup and I have to load it up 3-5 times until it goes all the way through. Any help I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to beat the game and go on to the expansion packs.

I answered in your other thread, but...

does the statue have damage reduction? Check the battle logs to see. If so, you may have to look at stepping up your character's damage output. As well, what enchantment level (+1, +2, +3, etc.) is the weapon you're using? Maybe you need something beefier.

You're more or less always better off asking game-specific questions in their respective forums.

Whenever I had "weapon ineffective" issues, it was always because I had switched to a weapon with less bonus damage enchantments. Use a weapon with the highest + bonus damage you have in your inventory. If you don't have one, well... uhm... get one? I hope you don't only play from one save and that's gotten you trapped in a level you can't get out of.

Doesn't Linu have any spells you can get her to cast on you to improve your damage output? I'm not sure, because I only used her for a little while before changing to ... uh, geez it's been a while. I was a half Orc, so bashing my way through was no problem.

Yeah it does have damage reduction. I have tried all of the weapons that i currently have in my inventory with the use of bull's strength and I still can't break it. I have short sword +3, mace +3, club of smitting, and an enchanter rapier i had made in chapter 3. usually when I had this problem I would start to bash it and have my henchmen attack the nearest but Linu wont't do that. I usually use the monk and I got stuck with Linu after I used her at the end of Chapter 3. Unfortunately all of my saves are inside the inner sanctum and I cannot use the stone of recall. So I think that I am stuck in this level and won't be able to complete the game.


How do I get Linu to cast a spell on me or how do I tell her to attack the statue because usually she can break it with no problem. Thanks for the help.

Try a weapon that has an enchantment, it might be immune to normal weapons so use something with fire, electricity, acid, or ice. Daggers and short swords usually have bad base damage so its not the best thing for bashing as they probably can't beat the base damage reduction. Or if you have a few wands you could use those on it, hopefully you invested some points into Use Magic Device. There is a possibility that it's bugged, in which case you should reload a previous save game, hopefully you have an autosave and quicksave file as it would be good to try both.
As for the crashing make sure you are playing it in compatibility mode and as an administrator. Simply right-click on the icon, properties, compatibility tab, check Run in Compatibility Mode, and select Windows XP. Make sure Run as Administrator is checked.

I finally beat Morag. I was just going over my inventory and I found 6 potions of lore which I thought that I did not have. One of my ideas was to identify the two short swords that I go from killing Morag's minions in the inner sanctum. I think I got the short swords from Morag's hand or I could have got them earlier in the level from the warriors or the cleric. I am not sure. Anyway one of them was a short sword with electrical damage and the other one had sonic damage. I equipped both of them because I have two weapon fitting and weapon finesse. I then started to destroy the statue. Obviously Morag attacked me and I used an attack of opportunity and all of a sudden I saw barely injured. Then I started to attack Morag and she went down easily. I couldn't do physical damage or electrical damage. The sonic damage of about 6 every strike is what took her down. Man I was so lucky that I found 2 potions of lore in my bag. I wanted to test these weapons before but I guess I didn't see that I had the potions of lore. Thanks for all of the help and responses.

I'm not sure what else you can do other than using the in-game developer console to give yourself a better weapon (i.e. 'cheat' in a weapon). I'd give that a try to see if that's the issue. If it's not, then I'd say your game is bugged. You definitely should be able to destroy that statue through some means at your disposal.

I assume you don't have the Power Attack feat, as your character build is usually DEX-based. If you do happen to have that feat, try activating Power Attack as well when attacking it.
