I am currently enjoying my first run through SoZ. I'm nearing the end of Act 2, with just a bit of clean-up to do before I track Sa' Sani back to Samarach. As such, I've been trying to finish clearing the map of the Sword Coast, finishing the quests involved (Volo, Akali). One area I discovered- the Ruined Keep, north of Conyberry- has me a bit stumped.
My understanding is that there is supposed to be a chest hidden behind the bookcase in the second room of the Keep. I was able to find the chest easily enough, and my skill with Open Locks is high enough to unlock it without issue. However, I have not been able to either detect the trap on the chest or disable it.
While my character is not a natural at either Search or Disable Device (he's actually a warlock), his skill levels for both register in the upper teens; I would think that would be high enough to deal with the trap in this case. In any event, I tried adding higher skill bonuses for both skills to two of my warlock's items, to test whether the higher bonus made a difference. It didn't; even on search mode, I was never able to detect the trap- and when I tried using Disable Device on the chest (I recall seeing this advice in the old forums), I get the message "success will never be possible".
At this point, I'm not sure what more I can try. I attempted to use the Toolset to see how the chest is set up there- only to discover that I'm not very good at using the NWN2 toolset.
Despite my best attempts, I never could figure out how to gain access to the chest there.As this isn't a game-breaker by any means, I'll probably just move on to the next location. However, the entire matter nevertheless struck me as a bit odd; as such, any insights that anyone out there can provide on this would be greatly appreciated.
