Smash and Burn

[JangoEX]

Hey guys, any chance you could do the Sealed in Amber treatment to Smash and Burn?

Like, make killing the forgewraiths the mandatory objective and destroying all special cargo optionals? Smash and Burn is the annoying one that everyone grunts to do and everyone would benefit of a quest not being annoying, even more considering that everything else in Cogs is so straightforward!

It's a five minute quest. The annoying part is not having open lock.
Just go to the middle of that room, up top, and you can see all spawn locations (except the one you run into as you climb the ladder to get on top)

Lilo can open the doors

For me, the annoying part is the hoard of halfling archers/ranged characters spread out that slowly trickle into combat... just when you think you've killed them all *thunk* another arrow in the rear.

Is there a Walkthrough for this quest? I am hoping to find a picture with arrows pointing where to go and what to do. It makes no sense to me.

Enter, go straight, find key from the corridor before the first locked door. Jump over the first door. Open the door behind door you jumped over with key. Enter or lure and kill midboss and destroy quest container from the unlocked area. Come out, open door with flames (to your right). Kill forgewraiths from flame door area. Destroy three more containers from flame door area. The End. Optional: activate three wall buttons from flame door area for end chest.

5 mins? It can take me 20mins to do the first jump onto the large cogs. It has taken me 30-40 mins to complete all of the jumps in the final room.

Buy potions of jump from marketplace vendor.

The issue isn't the jumping skill (I usually have the spell), the issue is manual dexterity and my hand tremors.

Thanks. I did not realize the quest is vertical. After reading the comment about jumping on the gears, I looked for a way up.

In order to unlock Inquisitive on all my characters, and gain access to another Saga, I am learning my way around The Cogs.

And that small fact that the game always lags when you try to make a jump in that last room.

PS. I can spend and hour+ running back and forth searching for that one last box I missed to completion.

I kinda like the quest but it heavily favors ranged characters. Turning up Gamma helps a lot.

Playing melee, the second ambush room is a bit too much.

The final room with all the forge machinery is fun but definitely challenging with lag. Cormyr is way better than Khyber in the lag department.

That sucks, sorry. For me the lag and latency being in Australia means often bouncing around and missing the landing spot which looked easy seconds before.

Any quest which has jumping can be a nightmare if the lag monster is watching.
