Help with vents

[TremorMonkey]

I'm in the dank crypt and game said about placing something heavy on the vents to stop them spewing crap, but i cannot figure out how to place anything on them, i've tried with boxes and vases, throwing them just breaks them, and if i pick them up and drop it just drops it in a random spot. how do i do this?

You click and hold on a vase, and then moving the cursor should show you an outline of where the vase will go when you release it. Drag and drop the vases and/or crates onto the vents.

Even if you don't see the vents by failing a perception check, you should still be able to place things on top if you guessed the vent position correctly.

Thankyou so much, i've been trying for about 15 minutes, even looking on google turned up nothing

you don't have to stop the vents, there is a button on a pillar near the center of the room. Only send on character in, trip the trap and then jump to the button and press it. As long as nobody is hit by a fireball it'll all be fine.

Just disarm them. It's easy (7 DC without having Sleight of Hand). Right click the vents: disarm.

Requires disarming tool consumable though, alternatively looking for the button works.

I just ran someone in timed mode from the inside direction, run up, look coffin, run out. Leave the other 3 toons in the other room. Made it back every time with only a few falls. Its nice having multiple ways to solve the same problem.

No I don't think it does. There are, idk, 9 disarm things in that room. 3 of my party members did it, I'm not even sure I had even 1 disarm kit. Definitely not 3 on 3 different chars.

Can confirm two years later, this requires disarming tools

That's odd, because I just did it today and didn't use up a single disarming tool. Wonder if it's a bug or something else we're missing. Course I did it with Shadowheart who has proficiency.

I didn't see this tip mentioned yet, when you drag to move items, you can use your mouse scrollwheel to rotate the item.

Whenever you find loot, look for items like heavy stone, plate, tin plate, pot lid, etc. Keep a few in your inventory at all times. Throw any one of these on a vent, and it will seal it. For fun, I tried to seal a vent with a rotten fish. It didn't work.
