OP qiote journeyman Joined: Mar 2003	Must this Cavern be done to complete the game. Is the annoying "floating platforms" the only way to complete this...Been trying to get to the top, on and off for several days...would like to skip it if I can. Don't care about the great item another post mentioned, if that's all that's up there. But I also see reference to another lever...making the damn platforms...necessary..unless the cavern isn't needed to complete the game....I hope Thanks..

From the walkthrough: Quote -Accessing Barnabus requires taking the teleporter on the northeast side of the bottom of the room. Inside, you must navigate a platform maze to disable a generator. See below for step-by-step directions. 1: leap across a series of falling platforms 2: climb the ladder 3: use the moving platform to access a lever that activates a teleporter 4: Drop down and take the teleporter 5: navigate several more moving platforms, then climb another ladder 6: time your next jump carefully - the next platform also sinks 7: jump from the sinking platform to another moving platform 8: jump up to another teleporter and step inside 9: hop down a series of platforms in the corners of the room 10: flip the lever 11: wait for a moving platform to emerge from by the door, then jump against the wall and fall onto it. Good kitty.

OP qiote journeyman Joined: Mar 2003	I'm at the top with the "glowing" teleporter, and the chest with the Dragon Claws.. Changed my "key" commands for the jumping, and it was a lot easier... Now, after I "play" with the chest for a bit.... I'm baaaack......Just killed Barnabus...his name?? Pet, summoned creature and me, killed him with three blows...great loot...saved just before the final blow..can't help but reload a time or two and see what the "unfixed" items will be... Then, I'll go shopping in Aleroth for a bit...and once again, thank you.. Last edited by qiote; 05/04/10 05:18 AM.

OP qiote journeyman Joined: Mar 2003	I move via the "arrow" keys.. I made the " / " key for jumping.....I use my left hand middle 3 fingers to move via the arrows and the little finger reaches the " / " easily.. The mouse does the rest..I've set my "hot" keys to the number pad...so everything can be done, quite easily with the left hand, all in one general area.. I left the Journal, Map and so forth, set the way they were..

The key on a ledge between some bars in the lowest level cave (with the platforms) opens the chest in the mid level cave (near a generator surrounded by lava).
