Rotating bridge baskets treasure how to get?

[worlok777]

So I am in Caer Lem escape the caves I come to the rotating bridge and there are 2 basket treasures off to the right hand side of the bridge, there appears to be no path to reach these baskets, has anyone found out how to reach them? thanks for any info

[DiceWrangler]

I was able to get them by just climbing and jumping -- no magic involved (even Guidance) -- with a STR 18 character.

Thanks for the reply, Heh my highest char st is only 17 oh well!

Use a potion of giant strength.

I used the jump spell.

My Paladin did it with 16 strength but she has 5 athletics as well. After getting across just go along the edge and push the rock to get the last one. Oath opens up for it.

A loading screen tip says Proficiency in athletics helps too. The jumps spell works too. I doubt you'll have reputation for slippers of spider climbing then, but you may have a reason to come back later.

If you mean the ones right by the bridge, for one there is a block to shove to help get to the container. For the other I forget, but it wasn't too hard. Alt is your friend. :)

If you mean the ones later on with the pillars, I wasn't able to get one of those in my first game until I came back much later. (And I had to use Dimension Door to get to the bridge, which was rotated the wrong way.) In my second party and I think my current party I was able to loot them the first time around thanks to using the jump spell on my strongest character, I think. (Not the char with the highest dex, which is probably what I tried the first time.)

With athletics and STR you can jump a little farther (3 cells instead of 2, I don't think you get to 4...maybe with double spec?)

I found out at the tower with the major gate, where the undead hide in the ruins around. One of the ruins can be entered only by jumping and the cleric and fighter could cross the 3 cells, but the rogue and wizard (both high DEX) could not.

For the basket closest to the rotating bridge I used a rouge to climb the wall. My Paladin couldn't get up there. The basket further on (which you get to first) I got to with my Paladin jumping.
