How long were you tricked for?

Post » Wed May 30, 2012 2:29 pm

The really annoying thing is that the first thing I did when I got there was shoot the guy on the other side... the guy in the middle.

When that did nothing I saw that shooting the atronarch did, and spent a good 5 or 10 minutes shooting at that instead.

Then I got angry and tried shooting the people at the other end again, and apparently the guy on the side worked.

A good 10 minutes at least. He got me good, I was thinking that maybe I wasn't switching mine fast enough or something. Around 5 minutes of messing with the atronachs and I reloaded in case it was bugged and so I could hear what he tells you at the beginning again.

Pretty clever puzzle, but I got it eventually.

Same here. I was thinking I was using the wrong Antronachs to counter the other. I will admit after 10 minutes, I had to cheat and look on the wiki :P
Very cleaver puzzle indeed.

First area I did was that one, and I saw them healing every time I shot. So I just let them fight. I got bored about 25 minutes in (was playing a few other pc games at the same time to kill time) and went off to do the other two areas. Came back, and a stray shot from the wabbajack ended it all for me. xD So I didn't figure it out, I got lucky.

About 5 minutes of changing the atronach and about 30 seconds trying to hit Pelegius himself before hitting his bodyguards.

that part didn't get me at all, had it done in a minute or so. the part with the miniature being beat up by the other two took me a good 5-10 minutes though...

yeah it definitely took me a few minutes. i tried changing the atronach to all different forms and realized the pokemon battle was not going to change. then out of boredom and confusion i wabbajacked the npcs across from me.

At least 20 minutes, not counting the hours when I put the game away and went into town (IRL).

About two minutes or so, wondering the entire time what the hell any of this had to do with paranoia. Then I wised up.

Based on how things were going I shot a guy across the arena first.

Honestly the worse Deadric quest I have ever done. Course I've only done one other in Skyrim so who's to say?

Took me a good amount of time. Reminds me of the dreaded spinning barrel in Sonic 3. Makes it look like you're doing the right thing, just not well enough.

Shot one of the guys on accident while dikeing around with my mouse. I guess I shot the atronachs a couple times before that.

After 5 years of faithful service, my poor mouse is on it's way out. First my keyboard, now my mouse.

I need a hug.

I was actually shooting at the guy for a minute or so before realizing I should shoot the other two sitting in the chairs beside his.

Never took one shot at the Antronachs, though.

As this was the first time I met Sheogorath, I didn't expect him to be more than a filler so I just tried to whack the atronarchs like I whacked the Anger and Confidence. I don't know how long but I'd say 20-30 times. Shot the armored dudes out of frustration.

I didn't even bother, I just went straight for the other guys.

5 or so minutes.. I felt so stupid, knowing Shero's behaviour...
I thought it was like a rock/paper/scissor thing and simply wondered if I was to slow... out of frustration I started to shoot randomly and figured it out..

I've shoot them a bit to see all the combinations and then watched the fight when it was mine Frost Atronarch vs opponent's Flame Atronarch.
I've let them fight a bit, but when I saw them healing, I thought that it was really irritating and wanted to shoot those guys just because of boredom... and I was right to do so.
Anyway, there was no brains involved from me in that quest, just dumb luck. ^_^

Haha, yeah I think dumb luck is how most of us got through that part...Well, those of us who will admit it anyway... <_<

lol

I wonder if Beth knew people would endup figuring it out solely because we would get PISSED off and just endup Jacking everything up?

Pretty clever if so...lol

Went straight to the guy in armor. At that point, it just made sense to me that you should do exactly what seemed wrong. I don't think that doing otherwise makes you stupid, though.

5 to 10 minutes. Then I remembered that Sheogorath was a right crafty bastard and decided to hit the spectators, and it worked like a charm.
