Re: The fake pit between Ku and Ros - bug or intentional?

Beginning CSB was extremely difficult to me. Working with paper pencil and eraser scissors and scotch tape, I had many map parts I was not able to assemble. I was completely lost because of the silent trigger pads at the four way junction. It took me ages to figure out how to paste together my small...

Re: The fake pit between Ku and Ros - bug or intentional?

I am pretty sure I did. That was very long ago, but I do remember a bunch of dragons and the powertowers. May be I got stuck on the way down, then entered Ku later the right way from a saved game. I spent more than two months in this dungeon completing the game whitout any hint or clue, but the hint...

Re: The fake pit between Ku and Ros - bug or intentional?

I doubt we will ever know. I think it is intentional. To give more ways to complete the game. It did happen to me. I was enable to enter Ku because I managed to kill the four knights fighing toe to toe, not moving backward which is the normal way to enter Ku. So, I visited Ku, thanks to the fake pit...

With the spell to see through walls one can detect hidden areas.

Re: [RTC] Dungeons Matter released

Have arrived at the Chaos level and the difficulty bar has just been raised. Am hating rust monsters, so keeping well away and taking them out with fireballs. Right, watch for rusters and don't let them come close. Once rusted there is no way to unrust. I made the mistake to save, not aware I had b...

Re: Back at it again

I wonder wether the trick of throwing the equipped firestaff over the door still is intentional or a bug.
Looks more like a bug to me. There is no rational way to figure that out ! How was that found ?

May be there is a prerequisite: Passing a door with a pit blocking the entrance. One must find the trick to close that pit.

Dungeon Matters. Not sure, where you are with darn pits. The canion ? The spiral path ? There is a si...

At the time we had CSB, the most gifted of us, had internet over ( RTC ) the switched telephone network at 33kb/s. ( May be less 14.4 kb/s ).
Sure you memorized the music it made while dialing then connecting, with the feel wether it was going to hook up or fail repeating attempts.

With that said, I did persevere and I finished the game, albeit with lots of help from ...
