Hi.
I was soloing with a Mage/mage

.
And was on my way out of Irencius prison.
But I couldnt get by any traps with my mage..
SO i couldnt get any fancy stuff or the portal key of his Wifes bedroom (dont remember her name) How do i do this ?
I get killed because of my low hp...
I dont have any find traps/disarm traps spells, only knock to open locked chests.
Please help me

Summon some minions to trigger the traps so they don't hurt you,also Mirror Image,Stoneskin,and Spell Immunity can save you from some of the traps.

you cant use minions to trigger traps.
You can walk around the first 2 traps. (takes a few reloads, helps if you are true neutral, since you get a trap detecting familiar) Around the chest are 2 traps: set the first off, take the damage and heal. if you are fully healed, open the chest, take the key and pause. Drink an antidote (from killing the driads) and you should survive. On your way out of the room evade the other two traps again. It could take a few reloads, but with a mage there is no other way since youre very low on HP.

Spell immunity or stoneskin will get you past most traps (including those nasty maze traps--spell immunity conjuration). And really, there's not much in trapped chests you *have* to have--especially since you don't have a party to provide for--so just reload if it's not worth it.

One other thing: the boots of speed seem to allow you to run by traps, not always triggering them.

I think that if you shapechange into something, you can run through traps. Maybe through a cloak, or through casting the spell--too bad you're not an Avenger Spider....
