I finished that playthrough and never got the chest open. I thought I had it when I realised about the skill and item, but there is no such item that ups the theivry stat, unless its in the chest and required to open it which would be ironic....and you cant get it over 100, by grinding, its pure skill yeah but a skill you cant get.
I put over 30 hours real time into solving that puzzle and failed after asking on forum for help multiple times. I understand, about not wanting to give things away, and solving it yourself. I am like that, but there is a limit.
I was all exicited about the rooms discovered it and spent more time on it than grinding stats to max and I could not complete it.
I am astonished that there is no info like that about this game online, I spent another 6 hours maticulusly serching the web for the awnser once I gave up and nothing.
There is such a thing as too much, I never spent that long on a single puzzle in any kings quest game when they were current.
Truth be told I'm a little sick about it.
I prob should not bother with the other classes rooms if its more of this shite once I get in.
Maybe I jus dont think in the way required which is damn odd as I finished the pearals of rosella in one week, without help when it first came out. Yet this puzzle made me look like a monkey.
The whole fan game was really fun, I do love it, but this puzzle took away from that.
Dont give me its not needed to finish the game stuff, of course its not but its something extra for the forth playthrough the room is in fact why I did it a forth time so soon. I wanted to see the new content. I beat the peg puzzle when I really tried without cheating.
I could have even done a music puzzle, or a math puzzle. Or beat the computer at a game of chess, but this is ridiculious.
It could have asked me random riddles, been a mini game basied on mental aginity, or whatever but not this.
I hate to say it but this makes me feel stupid and old. I got to tell you guys, I dont like feeling that way. I know its just a game but I take my hobby very seriously. Its a serious sort of hobby, gaming.
