Curious Artila krock Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I can't figure out how to navigate the room with the pillars. Brown tiles, light and dark grey tiles, pentagrams oh my. Switches outside, secret corridors, rocks removed with move mountains. I just keep getting sent back to the entrance, or worse- to the east room with nasties spawned in the main room. Thanks, Krock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd vixenk99 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm having a hard time there as well, hopefully someone can help us out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Bonam Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 You need to step on the two pentagrams. The SE one can be easily reached from the secret passage. The W one can be reached from the front door. Use one character in combat mode and avoid stepping on the tiles that teleport you. Moving around with a mage with blink also makes things easier.

Articulate Vlish Unawares Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The sign in the SW corner gives a useful hint too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora t42 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 great, I tried to do everything that is mentioned but I always get either teleported to the beginning or somehow step on one of the trigger-traps and have to fight. SO what am I doing wrong or is there another way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Watch the tile colors since only a few trigger traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Here is a very easy, three-step process for getting through the third guardpost puzzle. It's completely solved for anyone who is completely stuck, but might be too spoilery for anyone who just needs a hint, so proceed at your own risk. One gate should be fairly easy to open. There's one secret button and one cracked wall that needs move mountains. Then step on the magic circle to open the gate. You can backtrack or step on any brown tile to be teleported out. The next gate is a bit trickier. The orange circles show the secret buttons. The red circles are the tiles you need to step on. The dark tile will teleport you to the red X, allowing you to step on the half-obscured magic circle. The only way out is to step on any brown tile to be teleported out. Probably the hardest part is actually getting to the open gates. There are two types of platforms: one with lots of little stones and the other with larger, browner stones. The large-stoned platform will teleport you to the pentagram and spawn a bunch of monsters. You don't want to step on those, ever. The small-stoned platform is safe to step on. The pillars make seeing the route through the room difficult, but it's there. In the image below, some of the large-stoned platforms are marked by red NOs while the small-stoned platforms are marked by green check marks. The route through is marked in black.

Rotghroth Rhapsody txmimi Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I really needed this, too! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I've added a link to Dikiyoba's maps to Strategy Central - this clearly comes up often enough that it should be more prominently placed. Cerberusss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious Artila Eduardo Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 You need to use the spell blink? Man, honetly, that's some bad game desing. The game never hinted that you could use this spell to reach places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Chopkinsca Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 No, it is completely doable without blink. It's just that you can skip a bit with blink. It is so weird. I just did this place again yesterday. I looked up this thread today and it just happened to have someone do a 6 year bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
