It’s so many years since I looked at this, and the txt file no longer exists (lost in a fried hard drive) so I can’t check. Is it one haze or a number of them? If it’s the latter, it’s like DM where you just have to work out the sequence to get to something (can’t remember exactly what, but probably...

Glad you enjoyed it.

I can’t remember for sure. I didn’t sell anything to get the onyx gems.
If you remove a gem and the lever still works then it’s fine.
Be sure to save the game before you go up.

The wraiths in that area... ... attack you with fireballs. One of them respawns. Get it to follow you to the magic doors. The symbols are related to... ... the items you find in a particular area. For instance, in the northwest you’ll find an axe, sword, mace, and war club. They are all fighter item...

The phrase rearranges to... ... zo, poison, fireball. I think the third magic door is fireball but can’t remember for sure. In each section there is an alcove next to... ... the ‘local item’ alcove. The local items are what the scroll at the start of the level refers to. As you’ve no doubt seen, apa...

Hmmm, strange.
There is definitely one...

... in the upstairs of a house, under a bed.
I’m not at my computer, but I thought it was the house south of Elija’s. I’d check the upstairs of each house and move the beds again.

There is a wall on the bottom level which requires two levers to be pulled. If you had not jumped down the hole in Irra’s cave, you would not be able to open it... but since you have, you can. If you tell me where you found the other clan keys, I can lead you to the last one (please spoiler tag the...

You just have to time it right and do two quick steps, and then repeat to get off. The wyverns that come from the portals look for the crosses and turn them back to grey, so it’s best to close them all. If you get all five and step on the floor plate near the first ladder, then you can make it throu...

If you mean the portals on the walls in the lower dungeons, then no. You don’t need Elija. They can be closed with a zo spell.
On the bottom level...

Spoiler

... there are doors that can only be opened with a certain staff, which only Elija can use.

The scroll is the spell. It can only be cast when you read it. You can carry on in the lower dungeons if you like, but you’ll eventually get stuck in the lowest level because you need something from Elija, but Elija won’t help unless you have rescued Meseu. Eventually you’ll need to complete the tow...

The secret spell is...

Spoiler

... very close to where you fight the Korax.

You need to...

... drop down the pit and beat the Korax.
It’s quick, but if you hit and move in a square you can kill it.

The oh rune is on the water level of the tower, through the winged key door... but you can only get it after stopping the water elementals from spawning (block the holes).

It has “One place. One function” because it opens a door in the tower that can not be opened any other way. If you have found the spell, then you must have inserted the ya, oh, ful, and zo keys. When you have used these keys, the floor plate in front of the grey door on the zo level, will now work (...

Fun and challenging. I'd definitely agree with that. I love RTC, but it can take a lot of hackery to get what you want. DSB is better, but unfortunately I have no coding skills (I have put out two DSB dungeons... but the first was completed almost entirely with ESB, and for the second I had to ask f...

Yes, the key is to... ... use the barrels to trap all of the guards. The ones in the centre of the prison only trigger the alarm when one steps outside the gate. As long as they’re blocked, the lock for the door to the stairs will remain in place. but... ... be sure to leave them blocked for now, be...

You can only get that staff later and by a different route. The Ettin guards in the prison (and elsewhere) cannot be killed (yet). It’s about stealth. You need to avoid them. If you get within two squares of a guard, they alert the rest of the guards, all doors close, and you are dead. You need to f...

At the moment you’d have to use the poison blob (des ven) until you get the oh and ir runes.

I see what you’re saying. I suppose you could create many shop stock objects of the dynamite with the same amount, but have them invisible. If your dynamite targets a specific counter in the ‘break’ tab or upon expiry, you could track how many have been used. Then with a trigger near the shop, you c...

Aah, I’ve misunderstood.
Set the number in the shop stock item to -1 and it will never run out.

Yes, there are 3 pressure plates. You must get an object on each to open the small room in the centre of the cave and lower the ladder to the next. One of them can’t be seen from where you are. There is a room full of cave dwellers and a pad at the far end which closes the pit in front of the room. ...

You are progressing well. To progress further, you need to access... ... the port tower (which is above the prison where you started part 2). A shadowy figure will sell you a key, but you can only get there by going back into the prison. But a little advice... go into the caves close to the prison e...

It was necessary not to have overpowered characters right at the start of part 2. Though the starting stats are different, I consider it due to being drained by the plague. You start with nothing because your possessions were taken when you get captured at the end of part 1. There is a spellbook ava...

You’re on the right track. You must... ... dig into the caves below, but keep track of the guard outside your cell. He patrols east and west, and always stops to look into your cell. If he sees the bed out of place, he will open the door and attack. Only dig when the guard is away from the door. If ...

I have known it to happen on occasion. Have you tried it again?
If the problem persists, let me know.

The double zo staff does open a door, but not that one. The anagram... “hex within a team” unscrambles to “hit me with an axe” Also, mixing certain chemicals can cause them to explode, and drinking them can kill you. From waking on the ship and finding that you have the mysterious plague, you must c...

“hex within a team” is an anagram concerning what to do...

... to the door where you found the message.
It involves a certain weapon.

Wow! How did you get this far without the vi rune? Guess you must have been buying health potions. Okay... The vi rune is in the grounds of another house. There is a clue about a giver of breath (think about what produces oxygen) being a giver of health (vi), and look for an object that there are ma...
