The Ice Chute Ledge in the Ogre Cave

[InsaneCommander]

How can I get to the ledge in the ice chute inside the Flames-That-Whispers cave? The Wiki says the character must have Dexterity 16, but I have 18 (with bonuses from equipment, food, resting and salt mast) and no matter what I do I the group always fall.

 

Edit: You need to send somebody with Dexterity 16 to secure the hook, not necessarily the main character. There must be a random chance of success, because I tried at least two times with my main character, once with dex 16 and once with 18, and I couldn't do it. Or I don't remmeber very well, I was playing at 3 in the morning yesterday...

 

I gained the Golden Gaze rod.

I believe the size of your character also has an impact. Sending a dwarf or an Orlan to secure the hook might be necessary too.

That was what I thought when I first played it. I assumed the dexterity requirement was for reaching the ledge. Anyway, it worked with Hiravias.

Yeah I don't think the check is just for dexterity. At least it didn't work for my main who had 19 dex. I think it has something to do with survival and character size as well.

For sure there is a dex chech, but also size matrers: With amanua you fall every time ( or at least that was for me) . And was writed... like "you fall [amanua]"
