CoP 2.3 odd question

[Zoltar]

I've gone through CoP 2.3 up to the point where you kill the minotaur, navigate through hell to find a ??? and complete the mission, BUT....I fell through the trap door. Yea, it sucks. I've actually done this twice and it sucks. I want to know if since I killed the minotaur already, can I just pick the lock @ the Iron Door and join a group that has just beat him? Will I get credit for the mission still? I don't want to fight it again and it's hard getting ppl for this mission. I'm hoping someone will tell me I can camp out at the Iron Door and join a group post-minotaur fight.

Will this work? Ideas?

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

No, you do not have to kill the minotaur again. Just go and finish the rest of the mission.

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

oh wow, ok that sounds great. according to wiki, I can come as thf and flee past the Taurus', die by torches, RR and finish it. Sound like a good plan? I'm basically gonna pick the lock @ Iron Door, flee to ??? at F-7 and get to torch room before dying, then RR and finish.

sound ok?

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

Sounds risky. You should be able to wait for the Taurus' to turn and safely make it through without dying. The RR method seems to be placing too much hope that you'll die in the right place and if you don't you're kinda screwed.

It's been a while since I've done this, but a little patience should get you through safely.

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

From my past experiences doing this, the Taurus' are big and in narrow hallways, odds of sneaking past them are very very slim and there's a few doors to open too along the way. If I can get past the taurus', I should be ok since I have very very little fomor hate. The fomor room won't aggro so I only have to get there and die, not so much the ???/Hidden room. At least that's how I'm thinking it through...like you said, it's risky but if I can flee past them w/ no dmg I should be golden

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

I seem to remember most of the taurus spawning in open platform areas. I don't really know though, sneaking past was taking too long and we just said screw it and fought our way through.

PLD died a few times but damnit, thats what they're there for.

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

Dont forget if you raise near any of the formor you'll get aggro due to crit hp, Am i right in saying that these formors still will attack no matter what your formor hate levels to blood aggro, its been a while since this mission so not sure if there are any in the room in question, just watch where you die

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

before the formor room where the hidden room is. there is and L shaped corridoor with 2 taurus in the same section that will be hard to avoid.

Re: CoP 2.3 odd question

just and update, I breezed by with this last week, thanks all for your help! The two taurus' at the end hall are IMPOSSIBLE to get by, so I FLEE'd, opened the door, had the time to click the ??? and even get in the room w/ NO problem whatsoever. The taurus' found their way in the room however lol (I guess they know where the ??? is too lol) I had RR on so after they depopped I got up, but there was a problem, the two torches have to be targeted simotaneously. {Hmmm.} I found that the only day remotely possible to do this was Iceday, b/c Ice and (Wind?) were both targetable from a single spot. It took me almost half of the day, but I was able to very very quickly get them pushed in and complete the CS. This is very hard to do, and if you do this, please bring a friend, it will save you a headache at the end Now I'm on diabolos fight, can't wait^^
