DR2 starts in the same room that DR1 ends, and runs parallel to DR1 going up.

Re: Dark Reign 1

As far as I remember… one of the hazes will lead to somewhere different. I think there is a something in the new area that opens up a new place in the north of the level. Can’t remember for sure. Will take a look later. I can’t be certain, but something in the back of my mind tells me the correct ha...

Not at all. You’re finding what you need, and many people miss the one on the table with the guards… but I’ll keep this as my last post in this thread regarding The Trail, since it’s for Dark Reign, but I’ll leave a couple of pointers… You do indeed need to enter the Guard Tower, and completing it w...

Re: Dark Reign 1

The Trail can be tough at first, when you’re weak and have no runes, but some of the more basic spells like ful and vi can help you.
They are much closer than you think.

Re: Dark Reign 1

Yes, there are a lot that don’t, though apart from Dark Reign 1 I think the rest of my stuff work from the links in the threads.
Dark Reign 2 starts in the same room that Dark Reign 1 ends. Look for a small switch near the black doors that opens a long passage to the rest of the dungeon.

Re: Which route do you start first ?

I usually do ku first for much the same reasons as Estoroth, but unlike Ian and Ameena, I do the whole of each path (including DDD) when I’m on them.
It has been a few years since I have done a run. Maybe I’ll do it differently next time.

Re: [RTC] New Dungeon: Underverse

Unfortunately, as I said, I have no access to an older version and it may be a bug in v1.6 that stops you getting back to the Greave of Eyes. In v1.8 the small switches destroy the wall, but it’s possible that this was not the case in earlier versions. Alas, the garden in The Hive is just the same a...

You cannot… reach the hidden pad yet. You must cross the pits first. This pad does not give you the helm, but opens another section that does. I don’t know how else to describe the pit section.

Which side of the pits are you on? Have you already crossed them? The first pit is deactivated by a tiny floor plate 6 paces north. The other pits deactivate when you step where the first pit is, but it is timed and you have to be quick. If you run south immediately after stepping on the tiny plate,...

Re: [RTC] New Dungeon: Underverse

The missing part in your map does indeed contain no rune tiles. That's why you're able to enter The Hive without completing it. However, it does contain an axe called 'Separator' which is the most powerful weapon in the dungeon, except for a special weapon in The Hive. Also in this area is the Helm ...

In large dungeons especially, something might turn up even years later as this is the only ...

For the sword… When you have opened the doors with the lever hidden in the fake walls, it’s a question of speed. The sword does not teleport instantly, so if you stand on a square before the tiny floor plate, then get your mouse pointer in the right place, you can dash forward twice with the arrow k...

From looking at the map, I assume you mean the room with 3 invisible pits, a lever on the west wall (blocked by a pit), and a fountain southeast (also blocked by a pit). Is this right? If so, there is a… 4x4 room southeast of this area, that has a floor plate. Solving the correct order of floor plat...

You didn’t miss anything. The dungeon keys are optional and are only used later. They can resolve something mentioned in the readme file, but are not needed to complete the dungeon.

That depends. Parts of the map can be different, along with objectives and items… but most of this is decided in the first (western) area, so if you start a new game then it’s almost certain to have differences. This was done to give some replayability, though it’s doubtful many people would play a ...

Re: [RTC] New Dungeon: Underverse

In that case, I have no idea what is wrong.
Can you tell me what is accessible? How many pits are closed? Did you step on the final floor plate in “wine cocktails”? It’s the plate that closes pits, not the lever at the centre.
Have you pressed the black button at the end of the fireball launcher area?

Are you sure they’re both completed?
I’ve looked at the map, and cannot see where it can possibly bug.

West corridor - Avoid moving haze and press small button.
Spoiler
East corridor - Walk into the haze facing north, and immediately backstep 3 squares into the haze that is created.
