Valut of lightning.

I just come down to a spiral vault. It had some kind of lightning shooting mist and orbs of lightning. I died trying to get middle of it. I'm just wondering what's in the middle?

Re: Valut of lightning.

I remember the vault because I was really disappointed with loot. It was a useless dagger or something like that.

Re: Valut of lightning.

There has been at least one vault with a vapour. I'm not sure if it's the one you are talking about. I think I was killed by one in a vault with three altars surrounded by a glass wall. Open the door and get zapped by something you didn't see!

Re: Valut of lightning.

Also you can look into your morgue file to find out how the vault is called and then analyze corresponding des file.

Re: Valut of lightning.

I've run into that one as well. I remember it well because I had a character killed from full health by a single double-zap from a vapor he couldn't see. It felt a little unfair, as I recall.
