I am now at the dungeon where upon entering, an Imp ask me to pick a door, and only the middle door is the right way. I am still searching for a way out though, and have some questions...

1. "Two burning lights but yet you can't see". What does those refer to? I dim one of the torches, something seems to happen, but I am not sure what.

2. On Kiya's website, a "Secret Way" is labelled. Hmm, I found a secret passageway leading to a graffiti which says something like "You will see when it is dark." Is this what the "Secret Way" is refered to?

3. At one dead-end there are two garygoles. Anyone has any luck in defeating them?

4. The big hall to the lower-right (with lots of elemental traps) have a graffiti which says, "You will never find the key". What key?


Thanks in advance!

The burning lights refer to the two torches in that passage; the wall between them is an illusion, leading to the secret passage. Close to the other end of the passage is another torch; like the graffiti says, make it dark...

I had my warrior approach the end of that passage with the gargoyles, with my archer to the south, ready to attack as soon as they showed up. You can come back when you are stronger, or even skip them, if you wish.

The key you will 'never find' is the one to get out of the maze, which you find later.

I have <blush> somewhat different interpretations than Raze - so I am probably wrong.

I am fairly sure that "you will never find the key" had nothing to do with leaving the dungeon - the message related to the room you were in. You never do find the key 'cause there IS no key - you need to find a lever to unlock the door.



Reality is for those who cannot cope with fantasy. Fortunately, I can cope quite well.

Seems to me the secret passage is just a way to bypass a couple of traps in the passage ahead of you.

That's right Grim, but the traps are pretty likely to kill you outright. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Could someone please post a screenshot of that secret passage? I have seen the whole map of that dungeon and I know that I have gone through all of it but still... perhaps there is something I have missed.

Well, lucretia, it's not so much a secret passage as it is a safer way to reach the other end of a tunnel. I think the basic idea was this:


<span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'>Entering in between torches 1 and 2, you are able to walk AROUND the trap, extinguish the torch along the way, thus opening up the trick wall at the end and continueing along the way to an illusionary door. Trying to open that door makes a skeleton mage and a treasure chest appear.</span>

Thank you for both <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just did it in the old fashioned way... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> walked on the traps! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> My char could do that without serious loss of health. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I drag various garbages to cover up the traps as to reduce the chance of accidentally treading on them.

There is a set of levers at 4 and another at the door to 5, which you can use to get into that room.

Also, just keep to the left in that corridoor.... You'll miss all the traps.

Its the trap room at the bottom that gets me. I think I have it figured out now though.
