I have a party member with 17 Pre and I got the secret door open and I find no button just the dead guy abd the fire cones. There akso seems to be a force field of some type that prevents me from using firearms to knock out the oeange cones.
It doesn't make much difference because I can't figure out how to get the item from the alter surounded by fire and I have no clue about the 4 chains.

In the secret room with the corpse they pylons are immune to slash/pierce so guns wouldn't work without elemental dmg. Use an AoE spell like fireball, since it isn't combat the caster can use it over and over.

the 4 chains are easy, you just have to pull them at the same time. Pause is your friend.

entered the secret rom, destroyed the fire cones, looted the corps and found no button. I pulled the chains, got the skull, hammer, and the skull. Extracted the stone and the skull dissapeared. Very lottle loot and a lot of trouble for the effort in clearing this dungeon.

Well, you between this and your other thread, you had the forums hold your hand all the way through, so it couldn't have been that much trouble. ;)

Last Word is a great weapon though. It was worth doing for me. And I like puzzles so getting through was fun.

Its a good weapon.. Hardly takes any effort to do.. And you need 20 perception to spot the button to disable all the traps. Nodes can be taken out with grenades, aoe spells and any shooting weapon that deals elemental damage and not just slash/pierce. Use the tools at your disposal and it all aint so hard.

Yes you are right about the help received and I do thank you for it. My mind is not as sharp as it once was due to age and some medical issues but games offer a way to keep using it.

The stone was a Sigil of Death Wardstone FFS. Look at it!
