in the quest a necromancer's novice, where you try out being a necromancer for a second proffesion, you're supposed ot summon the bone warrior guys to set off the fire traps; however, i cannot get the guys i summon, despite seemingly crossing over the trap, to set off that trap.

sooooo

any help with that?

thank you.

OH, also, for the elementalist skill; Aura of restoration, is that your Energy or you Health that's being replentished?

again thank you.

You could just walk through the traps, get resurrected and do it again until you get to the boss (though there are corpses on the other side of each trap, and if I remember correctly, you just stand by the trap and summon the bone minion).

And AoR replenishes health.

I havent done the Necromancer quests in a while so I dont know whats wrong with it.. the minion just tried to follow me and tripped the trap. But I know that the Ele spell Aura of Restoration gives back Health, very useful too .

well for that quest, what you have to do is resurrect the minion from dead bodies of enemies in front of the traps and you yourself. After you raised the minions, it will come to you, hitting the traps along the way.

Hope this helps

OK, well im on the last trap before the boss; the others i skirted around the corners safely.

mabey i can walk into it wiht the bone warrior following me...but i doubt that'd work.

well, right now when i press "5" to summon hte bone undead guy minion, if im targeting myself OR the boss nearby, it says "invalid target"...hm.

The scorpion thingy is supposed to be sitting just past the trap. When you summon your bone minion he is supposed to come to you, therefore tripping the trap. If you are making bone minions before you hit the trap, they will not run to the trap to trip it. You have to raise the ones just past the traps.

yes i did that, and they ran through the trap, but didnt set it off.

fortunatly i finished the quest and slipped past the edges of all three traps successfully and am now a proud E/N!

They ran THROUGH the trap and DID NOT set it off!? You can slipped pass the edges of the traps?!? For some reason, I find these totally mind-boggling. A bug perhaps?

But anyways, /congrats

Before the last trap shoot the boss with a longbow and he will set off the trap...saves time.

just on a side note, you don't have to select anything for the summoning to work. if there's a fresh corpse (meaning it wasnt been used and is not a corpse of an undead) nearby, the spell will summon a minion from the closest corpse.

congrats for being an E/N (i also have one)!

I had that happen once where the summoned minion didn't set off the trap. I figured it didn't run across the right area to set off the trap.

That's possible.

i figuered that too, and tried some more times....is there a limit of bone summons you can get from one corpse?
