OK. I have killed most of the Mind Flayers in the Illithid City and have come to the last door (well I think it is the last door).

I have already used the bracelets to get a Mind Flayer to open the first door to release the Githyanki or something like that and I have battled through to this last door. (With enough money put in my personal swear box to buy me games for the next ten years!!!!!!)

Now on the last door the bracelet things do not work, I can overtake the Mind of the Flayer but he just won't open the door.

Now I am a goodie goodie and I don't really want to use my Slayer button unless it is absolutely necessary (my rep is 20 and I want to keep it that way if possible). Is there another way or shall I just persevere with trying to use the bracelets, reloading and trying to use the bracelets, reloading ..... you get the picture.

By the way, this is the only area so far that has made me want to smash up my Mac (and there's me saying I am a goodie goodie LOL).

Errrmmm....well I JUST finished the Flayer lair and I must confess that once I had the circlets and successively mind-controlled the flayers, I had no problems opening any doors (or killing anything either hehe)...so it must be a temporary bug, which has actually happened several times to me. Silly as it sounds try restarting your computer and reloading your game?

On a side note make sure you check all the tables in the Ithilid lair and kill all the monsters behind the gladiator pit, the ones kept in standing coffins...the insane dwarf in the middle one gives you a 50% fire resist ring when you wax him.

OOOOOHHHHHH yeah the guy above is right there are stronger flayer-kin down there, something called Ultrithilid or something like that. Try dire-charming one of those (I had one of them in my party) with the circlet and see what happens.

Cheers you lot

It must have been a bug, as I reloaded and controlled another mind flayer and the door opened sweet as a nut.

Cheers

I believe and correct me if im wrong, but it says of great mind & strength (or something like that) try using potions to raise your intelligence to 25 and see what happens, same could be done with strength I suppose. However losing 1 point of reputation should not be a problem, you can get it back in the underdark.

Gargoyle,
I tried that yesterday - I actually carried 5 potions of mind focusing with me for that very reason, raised my INT to 25 but it made NO difference at the door.
