Look for something hidden in fake walls to reveal it.

Yes, I used the map to look around and spotted this just after I said I was stuck. I don't carry two flasks with me, so I'll have to go and buy one first.

Ok so I must be doing something wrong on the water elemental level. The final water mnnster takes hundreds of hit points without dying. Also, I've no clue what to put into the alcoves or how to open either door. The one scroll didn't seem to provide any clue how to proceed, so I need a hint for this...

One other point... small buttons show up with ros on the map tablet. Yes, I had noticed this, as do other things as well. I don't think I would have ever noticed the appearing and disappearing alcove. There really isn't a need to turn quickly to the right to get a chance to see it, but unless you d...

Guess I need to check my maps if there's no teleportation going on.

I have the coin from the northwest room. Yes I found and pressed the button in the southwest room earlier. It gave a big crashing sound, but I didn't see an alcove open and close. I'll have to go back and try it again.

Ok, so it looks like you get another coin key when you go up from the room where you get the first coin key. In this chamber there's a room with 4 pads and there are 2 barrels. I thought you needed to put the barrels on the correct pads to open the door and get the other coin key, but I tried all 6 ...

Yes, when it worked the 2nd time around, I found the shuriken just inside the door and the dagger on the pressure pad. Is there only 1 coin key for each area? I got one in this room, but not in first room, but the coin key works in both rooms. BTW it looks like you're teleporting the party to differ...

When you’ve made the path, the turn and throw after opening the door needs to be quick... and use something that will travel a good distance, like a dagger or shuriken. Yes, I figured out the hazes, pretty much immediately after I said I hadn't (had to look at the map to see what was going on) and ...

When you speak to Elija, he will explain what needs to be done. Yes, I've done this, but I don't recall him saying anything about those guards. He doesn't repeat that initial dialog, at this point all he will say is that he won't consider joining the party unless I've already recruited a 2nd party ...

After you get the

Ir rune, is there a way to turn off the fireballs?

Are the guards invincible? The 3 in the

sandstone castle seem fixed in place and un-killable and you can't open the doors they're guarding?

I usually just fire des ven over the pit until they’re cleared out. Is not something I usually use, but it eventually worked. I probably had to sleep 5 or 6 times until I had killed enough monsters to get a clear path for the dagger. If you update PII, you might consider reworking this part. Unless...

I've tried throwing both a dagger and a shuriken across the pit but nothing happens. There are quite a few monsters in that area, so I've tried throwing the items when it looks like none are in the way, but maybe they still are? I'm assuming the path has to be entirely clear. Maybe it just takes man...

So, I think you have to put 3 items on 3 pressure pads for this puzzle to drop the ladder. I did the one to the E that opens the door and the one to the N behind the opening/closing pits, but don't see how to get to the 3rd one. With the magic map, I can see a pad to the S in the room with the monst...

Yes, there is text hint saying you should hide, but since the guards didn't attack on their way to the mess hall it didn't seem critical, but it was. Saumun says they will attack you on the way to Mess Hall, but that didn't happen with me. It seems they're on a path of monster attactors and as long ...

Thanks Saumun

I wasn't doing the

Saumun,

I must be missing something in the

guard barracks. I got the steak, cooked it, rang the dinner bell and the 4 guards were attracted to the mess hall

, but then what? I looked around but didn't see a way to open the locked door to the up stairway?

Finished it. Very impressive on the new wall sets and monsters used. Some of the techniques used aren't my cup of tea (those were the parts I needed hints :D ), some of the monster fights became tedious (those with high HP that I used the two step fighting technique on) and I'm not a fan or randomly...

Must be doing something wrong. Got the old mans key, entered his house, resurrected his ghost but don't seem to be able to kill the ghost (so far 3000 hit points or so). I saw the scroll about strength so used some strength potions but that doesn't seem to help.

Got the PM. Really didn't remember that from CSB. It's been a long time.

Ok, got the solid key. For the 5 levers puzzle I had to teleport out of the fireball lever and the 3 ghosts lever. I guess I wasn't fast enough for the fireball lever. I could trip the lever and get out the other side but then couldn't get back. The ghosts were too strong all at once. Teleported out...

Yes, I have the scroll and knew I had seen something similar in some DM game, but couldn't remember which one.

The eyes are glowing I'll try what you suggest.

Stuck again :twisted: On the cauldron level I've put 4 ingredients into the cauldron, but nothing much happened. are there more ingredients needed? I've no clue how to open the Ra door, I didn't find any Ra keys. I guessing the key I need to advance further in the tower on the inverted level is behi...

Yes, that's the area. It does work by using the Zo spell without any issues. There must be a problem with the mechanics for this area. The first time I went through all 3 doors without casting a Zo spell, but I couldn't re-create the sequence. The dungeon isn't consistent with the use of Zo spells, ...

I managed to get through the first door maze puzzle (before the teleporter) and the second door maze puzzle (the 6 doors in a column) by luck but then died falling down the unexpected hole. I hadn't saved the game after getting through the maze, but before falling down the hole, and now I can't get ...

Hmmm, I'd swear I looked several times at those walls. Was this another change after an event puzzle? or did I just miss it?

Thanks Saumun.

Cleared the sewers but must have missed something, as I can't get the cursed rune?

Opened 3rd floor of the house, but haven't figured out that puzzle yet. party just teleports back and forth.

Saumun,

specifically at the cobwebs.

I checked them again, but still don't see it. Nothing seems to be clickable to pick anything up?

OK, went in the Bellande house got off the 1st floor with Saumun's help, finished (?) the 2nd floor, got access to the 3rd floor but can't open the door yet could be a problem here as well. I'm missing the Gor, Dain and Sar runes and the 2nd incantation needs Dain, don't have the 3rd yet to open the...

Saumun, OK I must have missed an important item. Completed the GT, KuRos, Caves can't enter the basement of the broken key house yet, don't have the key, can't open the double porticullis doors E of the flame pits (probably open from the other side) and can't go to the W underground cemetery (grappl...

Missed the Ros one. I hadn't gone back and looked. I'm not good at going back and looking for random walls opening up when a non-related event occurs, but I should have known that something was back there from my map. There was too much empty space.
