Question about Superior Temple of Baa.
04/01/2018, 00:38:47

    Ramillies writes:

    When exploring the said temple (in Kriegspire), I found a room with four rhino-like heads on the wall, described as "Baa Head 1" through "Baa Head 4". When clicked, each had something to say, along the lines of "Baa One here!" or "Baa Two ready to go!"

    Are these good for anything? I clicked them in various manners with various characters, but nothing seemed to ever happen. Did something happen and have I just missed it? Or are they just useless? (Also one of the heads, when I clicked it first, zapped me and said "Baa Baa Baa!", but I wasn't able to reproduce that, so I don't know what was the cause...)

    Please enlighten me about what these do/don't do .

Two things to know here

    Firstly, clicking on the Baa heads in order is an Easter Egg (appropriate for this time!), because the dialogue is from Star Wars before the assault on the Death Star ("Red One here!" "Red Two ready" etc).

    Secondly, clicking the heads in order "activates" the main Baa head in the large room with all the clerics - when clicked (after clicking head #1-4 in order), it will give you experience. It will also decrease your reputation, so manage this with your Light promotion in mind.

    Note that some other guides seem to say that the main Baa head is activated instead by travelling the long winding circular corridor with all the Sparks traps. I've never found this (although I do seem to remember that traversing that corridor does do *SOMETHING*, which for the life of me I can't remember now)

In one of the early rooms in the Superior Temple of Baa, you will find . . .

    . . . a piece of parchment which reads

    "Expert Perception is the key, and the doors of Baa will let you be,
    The Spiral then each head, talk to Baa or you'll be dead"

    In other words, you need to traverse the long winding corridor to activate the four small Baa heads which, when touched in the right order, then in turn activate the big Baa head on the wall of the huge priest-filled room in the east of the Temple.

Thank you both. I must be blind because I didn't manage to find that parchment.

    Though I think I've gone through all the rooms and I've even known that there is such a parchment (because I remember that the only thing that tells you that you need Expert Perception to open the doors is BEHIND the doors ).

    I must have gone the right way even if I didn't know it because I used the big Baa head to get some experience and lower my reputation to get closer to Notorious. So I didn't miss anything after all.

    Also thank you Ossie for explaining the Star Wars pun. Sadly I have seen only this one Star Wars movie, years ago, and in Czech localization, so I didn't recognize it (Also I'm not really a Star Wars fan.)

I can't remember exactly which room the parchment's in, but . . .

    . . . it's on one of the lectern-like reading desks that you see in various places in the game

Aand I found it as soon as I stepped into the Temple now

    I guess that I just thought "Oh, it's another of those tables with papers on them. These can't be activated anyway, so why bother with this."

    The spiral first, then the heads in order. I knew that. It's been soooooooooo long since I played this.

    Although finding that parchment would have triggered that memory pretty quickly......

Oops, sorry, please delete the post immediately above!

    I intended to say that it's probably been equally long since I completed an MM6 game! I tended to reach the middle of a game and then get overtaken by events and lose track of my overall plan for the rest of the game.

    I'd virtually completed a World of Xeen game when I abruptly ran out of money – I'm going to have to go and mine some gems and get some expensive armour made to build up my exchequer again – and at present I'm about half way through MM3 again.

    Also, my vintage desktop expired about a year ago, so I'll have to get out my old laptop before I can play MM6 again. I'm a bit short of disk space on this one.

I can't do that....

    Well, I can, but then your message wouldn't make sense and it would appear to point to Ossie's message. The evidence if an inadvertent keystroke will have to remain. :-)
