HotU - passing the bridge?

Archived from groups: alt.games.neverwinter-nights (More info?)

I'm in the 3rd level of the golem island. I just gave the power source
back to Jessun(?) the rebel golem, and went down the stairs.
I'm trying to get past the 'T' shaped bridge, the one that traps you
while the obelisk-shaped capacitors charge then zap you for about a
hundred points and teleports you back to the entrance.
I've tried fireballing the obelisks and the 'magic mirrors', I've tried
to run past while hasted, and I tried using the cracked mirror you get
from the castle but all I could find it could do was cast some spells. I
don't own anything else that I know of that will help.
How do you get past this?

Thanks!

Lance

You need to use a missile weapon--the sling and bullets on the corpse
there will do, if you don't have one--and hit all four of the mirrors
before you get teleported back. You only have to hit them once, but if
you get teleported, you have to start over and do all four.

You have a lot of time while they are charging up. Shoot them with
projectiles. The writters have placed a sling and some sling stones (IIRC
it's a sling) there, if you don't have any ranged weapons.

You'll find this answer if you searched with Google Groups.
