Fledgling Fyora uzl674 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Killed everything in Tower of Barriers. Talked to Helen and Ellen about drinking from the fountain 3 times. Followed suggestions posted at http://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/19188-getting-into-tower-of-barriers-fountain-on-way-to-hawthorne/ and http://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/16916-khoths-little-secrets/ . How do I get to the fountain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 There is a hidden switch in the northeast hidden behind a statue. Use the "u" command to see it highlighted with or as some one said shake hands with the statue since the switch is next to the hand. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. You will lose it otherwise once you realize that Jeff is really that nasty about hiding things behind objects so they can be barely seen.

Fledgling Fyora uzl674 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 As I said, I followed the suggestions posted at the links previously given. Does anyone have any additional information which might actually lead to getting to the fountain? Repeating what's on the links is unhelpful.

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Is the problem that you found the switch and can't use it, or that you can't find the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora uzl674 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 The problem is that the suggestions are useless and unhelpful. I've followed those instructions and no switch is revealed. Let's try this another way. Does anyone have a screenshot of the switch, or detailed instructions as to how to get to the fountain?

Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The problem is that the suggestions are useless and unhelpful. Others have apparently found them useful. Venting frustration is fine, but you want to be careful where you aim it. I'd like to post a screenshot for you, but I'm having some technical difficulties of my own. Perhaps someone else can step in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'd post a screenshot of the switch (I just went and took one), but I can't figure out how to upload images here ... If someone could let me know, I'd be happy to post my shot. In the meantime, the tricky thing about the switch is that it is completely hidden by one of the statues. It only shows up if you hover your mouse right over its location. Trying moving the pointer around the statue until it shows up. Also, the switch requires a high tool use to open, so even once you find it, you may not be able to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone could let me know, I'd be happy to post my shot. Use an image hosting service like http://www.imgur.com and enclose the URL of the uploaded image in tags.

Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Look where my mouse arrow is pointing. As I mentioned in my previous post, the switch only shows up if you hover your mouse at the right spot, since it is completely concealed by one of the statues. Also, you need a high tool use skill to use the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora uzl674 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'm an idiot. I've been thoroughly scouring the northwest section of the inner and outer walls for the past few days, cursing all the way. Thanks for the screenshot. Much chagrined...

Rotghroth Rhapsody The Reverend Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Heh, that sounds like something I would do. I've never actually had high enough tool use to use that switch, though - what does the fountain do for you if you use it three times?

It does help if you actually read and follow the suggestions before dismissing them as useless, doesn't it? Glad you've got it sorted out, anyway.
