Vaults are awful
« on: July 03, 2015, 02:59:29 pm »

I don't know if it's just me, but Vaults are terrible. I've been into four of them, and have yet to find a slab at the end. I check legends to make sure there was no theft, and there wasn't. They just don't show up. And now I'm stuck in this Vault because I rested inside the vault and all the levers reset, so I'm stuck behind the slade bars, and I'm too much of noob to get any of the teleport scripts for dfhack working. All I wanted was to go to hell.

Stay out of Vaults

Sometimes the stairs are on the same block as the lever, it was probably on a different level. The rewards from vaults are excellent, especially if you lug it to a fortress and unretire. Plus, one on one against the Archangel is the biggest challenge am adventurer can get, so thats a huge bragging right on it's own.

Yeah, I put the Archangel down in one hit, lol. And I meant that I rested in the vault, and then when I tried to go back the way I came, it was blocked by the slade bars I had taken down with levers. Levers that were now on the other side of those slade bars.

Maybe it's been a while, but couldn't you just jump through the bars?

Few of the vaults I've explored actually have a slab. Even when using DFhack to reveal the local area, I still couldn't find it.
As far as I can tell, some vaults have slabs and others don't (even though they're supposed to). Either it's not there or it's extremely well hidden.

Every vault I've attacked has had a slab, for a grand total of two. I'm really bad at finding them.
