If you drop a dwarven powder keg and it explodes near enemies, all enemies are knocked down and immolate...

If you drop a vine seed near enemies, all enemies are tied to the ground by vines for like 5 or 10 seconds...

Does anyone know any other "hidden weapons" that exist in the game? I know there's a staff that slows enemies, but since we're told that when we pick it up it's not really hidden.

Maybe they added this in a recent patch? I tried the dwarven keg thing long back..(2 months) and enemies were unaffected when it exploded.

I didn't either. I always run away from the barrels....would they knock down allies too?

And my contribution: The Summit Beastriders do their "stomp" and EVERYONE, friend and foe, is knocked down. I just noticed that the other day.

***edited to get the right critter***

Thanks, Wrynn!

You mean summit beastmasters?

and of course there is the plant things on thirsty, but thats not really hidden either.

i cant even think of other pickups of that sort, lets see, apples, tome of the fallen, powder kegs, war machine plans, vine seed, scepter of orr, cripple/bleed plant thingy, slow totem, spectral essence.

The kegs thing is like your own weapons, doesn't affect allies

And perhaps you just didn't have a situation that lent itself well to kegs as weapons, I noticed it quite a while ago. The seeds thing I just noticed last night though

Ah i didn't know vine seeds do that!!!

The Landmines in the accension mission are also like kegs, but cause cripple and bleeding. Quite useful at times.

I don't remember the knockdown effect of the Eye. All I remember is that it was the single most annoying mission ever... I wanted to.. to... throw that eye off a cliff or something.

Edit: Yea I was talking about the bonus. Sorry bout the misprint

Divinity Coast (the mission with the eye) is probably the easiest mission in the game- the eye just makes it even easier by using AOE knockdowns on the enemy.

(The bonus mission is another story- it's very hard.)

Also, vine seeds do AOE knockdown. Can you say "vine seed drop + aftershock"?

In the Elona mission, you can grab a seedling from the trap plant things and drop them later to cause AoE bleeding.
