What were some memorable moments when reading the book that you just went, "Errrr, what the freak?"
Mine was when I first encountered Zakhan Kimah while using that accursed Sommerswerd which I should have left at home in the Sommlending Museum of Useless Antiquities. 44 CS? WTF?!!

For me, it has to be the enigma of Shamath in book 16 where come up with the answer X=X. The first time I read it, I thought that it was a mistake in the translation, and it made me say the WTF words.

In book 12, Lone Wolf is at the pinnacle of his power. He alone has defeated Haakon with bare blade (because the Sommerswerd doesn't shoot beams without sunlight). He has defeated Kraagenskul and Taktaal. Now he faces Gnaag in the center of the Darklands. He unsheathes the Sommerswerd...
...and a blast of sun-energy vaporizes Gnaag? I've waited for years and fought through book after book, recovering Lorestones for this one purpose.
And I kick his butt Zagarna-style. Great. Just great. Couldn't use the blasted blade till I got to Gnaag, then I can't even use it to fight Gnaag.
Definite WTF material in my opinion.

While I never said "WTF", ironically I have said to myself "Gee, I wish I didn't have the Sommerswerd" at both the Zakhan Kimah and Gnaag battles.  |

First time I entered castle death, and was expecting this long scary dungeon crawl, and then fell through a trap door straight to the ending.
I was, like, WTF

The tunnel in book 2...why does EVERY possible path have to lead to that blasted Section 134?

KL, (who backtracked and turned to section 88, then kicked his butt Kai-style) This is EXACTLY the scene that I picked out when I read the first post of this thread. I was thoroughly pissed off when I got to that section. I come on, you pit us against all the impossible odds of the Darklands and Helgedad. And then we get to destroy the Archlord with one blast from the Sommerswerd?! I do not think so! |

Taktaal and Kraagenskul - They just 'get in the way' in your quest to destroy the Transfuser. The are Darklords sure, but come on. The big catch is Gnaag.

Zakhan Kimah is one of the most frustrating experience!
It makes you think: "I've read all the books before and collected all the powerful items... and that's my fault!".
And that's not the only time when you wish you hadn't that fXXXing sword!!!

And that's not the only time when you wish you hadn't that fXXXing sword!!! But think that the people who didn't play any books before this one have less experience than you, so it is also very hard for them. They don't have as many disciplines than you or extra CS points granted by Lorecircles. |

I had a real WTF?! moment, quite some time ago. I don't remember exactly which Lone Wolf book it was (perhaps someone here will?). I was definitely playing on this site though.
Anyway, it went something like this- I got pickpocketed by someone who is clearly the best thief in Magnamund.
He got my padded leather waistcoat. Which I was wearing. Under a chainmail one!
Just imagining the scene still makes me laugh!
If anyone is wondering it was one of those situations where you lose a numbered item from your inventory, in this case special items rather than the usual backpack items (or maybe I had no backpack items and lost a special item instead) and it just happened to be the waistcoat.
