[some spoilers inside] How to get the chest in library?

[Chimera]

There's a chest across the chasm in Tower of Magic's library. I tried to jump over (too far), cast "Misty step" as mage (also too far) and even Levitate("No path to destination" for some reason)!. It's clearly possible to get it (the platform it stands on even have one of those pillar thingie for others to walk over), but I exhausted every idea I had about how to get to other side (I spent at least 30 minutes on that lol).

So, the question is: is there some kind of, idk, secret entrance I missed or something? Did someone get this chest at all? After all that time I don't want to leave the library empty-handed)

As I've posted before, you can get there just with Misty Step, you don't need Spider Climb too. (Go back a page in the thread.) Though Featherfall is helpful.

Misty Step has not worked for me until I combined it with the Spider Walk Boots. I used an waypoint which makes the mage walk at the wall. Than I clicked on the chest platform. This gives the message "Could not reach" but also stops the mage on the wall, which is nessesary to cast "Misty Step". Last, I was able to use Misty Step from the position at the wall.
Misty Step was not usable from the "hole i the wall" or the ceiling, but it was usable as "spider" sticking on the wall.

Yea you can go back in there. I missed the 2nd clue and had to go back for it.

I went back a while ago in EA specifically to take pics showing how to get to the chest with Misty Step. You can also buy a potion of Fly at Caer Lem if you have the money.

After alot of tries I managed it thanks to the advices for using the option of toggling the horizontal plane by clicking the button with the several layers in the middle of the minimap. I had to use the spell "Jump" on my wizard to reach the top of the arch infront of the chasm, cause my wizard was not athletic enough to get there by herself. From there I aligned myself to the chest and toggled the horizontal option, aiming ABOVE the spot on the other side of the chasm with my "Misty Step" spell. Took a few trys until I had the right height and the right spot, but i finally got it and reached the chest after a little drop to the floor....

Want to know what was in it for me? Boots of Levitation...very funny game <_<

My first wizard needed Jump to get to the top of that wall too.

I tried this for like 30 minutes. Best I could get with Misty Step was to appear right near the top of the far column and drop down to the ground taking fall damage. This bugged my game though and I could not move. I fell through the world a bunch of other times and that kills you.

That shouldn't bug your game and is what I've done, however Featherfall can help avoid the fall damage. As long as you survive the fall damage and don't go unconscious, you should be able to open the chest and drop down the pillar.

Pretty sure I used a Dimension Door scroll to jump right over in EA. This time I didn't have one of those and seemed like I couldn't get Misty Step to target across the gap so I used the Spider Climb to move up on the wall first. Spider Climb is no fun, trying to target walls you click through walls instead of the surface of the wall and your guy runs all the way around and jumps down to wherever the phantom click was. Would have pissed me off if this wasn't an hour duration spell, That was my first time using it but I do NOT look forward to that mechanic in the future.

Ohhh horizontal plane adjustment on the minimap, wow.

I got the spider climb boots and I was able to loot the chest. Not at all worth it though. Boots cost me almost 800 gold.

Are they not cool for other stuff? I'm hoping to get them some day for my archer/marksman

I got a spider climb cloak for my wizard in my first party, it's just plain cool. :) It also helps him get around faster then everyone else, even though previously he was the worst at getting around and couldn't do jumps that everyone else could. (Which is why I got him the cloak.) If I was going to, and could, continue that game I might get a cloak for everyone. However that game suffers from a bug that other EA saves also suffer from. (Not sure about non-EA games, but I suspect they're alright.)

Thought I posted this a page back, but it wasn't the right post, so I'll do it here. Instructions on how to get the chest via Misty Step (and optionally Featherfall) are here:
