Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints
How can I get to the treasure chest in here without getting totally fried?
1 of 7: First of all, lure all the monsters out of the room to kill them, or shoot them while they're inside it.
2 of 7: In case you can't see it, the entire donut-shaped floor of the room is rigged to trigger a major Fireball attack if you step on it.
3 of 7: Then there's the little lava moat around the chest itself.
4 of 7: The ideal solution here is to cast Telekinesis (an Earth Magic master spell in this game) on it from a safe distance.
5 of 7: The next best way is to have a master Vampire cast Levitate so you can just float safely over the trap floor and lava (you still have to deal with the level 28 trap on the chest, which requires a Disarm Trap grandmaster to open safely).
6 of 7: As a last resort, you could try making a running jump out to the chest using the X key. If you land on the chest, you won't take any damage, though you'll probably have to drop down onto the lava in order to be able to click on the chest. If you survive that, jump back to safety and heal up.
7 of 7: And yes, this chest is worth all that because it has one or two randomly-generated artifact items in it.
