Yes. You need to get an object between the hazes. Anything will do.

Sure. You need to get something...

Spoiler

on the floor pad between the blue hazes. Think vertically. Is there something directly above?

The only xanathar I remember on the bottom level are... several of them in a locked room. I think I was somehow teleported in there, but I can’t remember from where (possibly somewhere in the area where you get the firestaff, but I could well be wrong). However, I think it was meant as a death trap....

*look at the board index to see which heading your post most relates to.

(managed to contradict myself in the space of one sentence there)

@valipierce Since your question was related to ToC, it’s right that you posted a reply in the ToC thread. If you want to post something unrelated to existing topics, look at the board index to see which topic your post relates to (eg. News & Chat, Dungeon Master, Chaos Strikes Back, Custom Dunge...

Hmmm, I don’t remember that part. I remember a passage that... shot spells (I thought they were fireballs but may have misremembered), but they were survivable if you stacked some fireshield spells and rested to max health on each square. That being said... I only had one gem, so maybe the part you’...

I didn’t even realise that was how it was supposed to be done. I just activated the haze, then... cast the ‘safe teleport’ spell that takes you outside the tower. Most of the route up the tower is fairly straightforward, and I got back to pit madness in a couple of minutes, then approached the haze ...

The teleport to Junius’ chamber is... not in the stair maze. It’s in pit madness. There is a green button that switches it on, but it deactivates when you approach it from the button side. Something you learned in a book will give you a way to approach it from the other side. You’re on the right tra...

@Antman In addition to what jahmiann said... regarding the treasure room in the sewer. I think whether the empty mirror is there, depends on whether the ladder nearby is raised or lowered. There is a lever next to it. I can’t remember the ladder number, but it’s on the eastern side of the sewer. As ...

I thought there were only two junius gems.
If there are more, I don’t know where they are.

I don’t think the treasure rooms are connected to junius.

Spoiler

It has been a while since I played, but I thought you entered junius’ chamber through a teleport in pit madness.

1) I don't think so. 2) I don't think so, but there may be alternative possibilities. From what i've read, am I right in thinking it's a shield spell that would drop any flying object in front of the party? I had a 'create wall' spell in The Trail, but it was cloned from a floor object and would not...

You don’t need... the firestaff to defeat chaos. You need lightning to break open the orb, but the lightning referred to are the lightning strikes on the roof of the tower. The fast shift thing is... in the sewer. You need to dress like a king when you use it. You should have got something after def...

Yes. I asked because I remember some differences in the boss fights between v3.3 and v4.0 (I think v4.0 had better boss fights, so you’re playing the best version IMO).

Out of interest, which version are you playing?

I think the heavy key... IS connected to the treasure room, but I can’t remember exactly how. Something to do with the shame pit? I can’t remember where the picture of the treasure chest is. I need to play through this again because my memory is becoming hazy. It’s not essential to open the treasure...

I’m struggling to remember which key is for which door on the gem level, but I’m sure you can get everything by using the gems. In reference to a couple of earlier questions... The loud lightning. Have you redirected it to the large crystal? I thought the lightning turned off after striking the crys...

It has been a while since I played and I’m not at my computer, but as far as I remember, there is another way in. I could be wrong here, but I think... it’s connected to the end of the level after you’ve gone through the last door, near the stairs up... but I can’t remember exactly what opens the wa...

When you’ve beaten the time demon... you’ll be able to do something to permanently stop the clock. However, be sure to stop the clock when the way to the treasure room is open, because I think it closes forever if you don’t. If I’m remembering this right, there is a time which leaves the shop and th...

Sure. I don’t know how much the others will appeal to you, as they’re not like The Trail at all. Everything before that was in the more traditional DM/CSB style (though not all straight up or down. In chronological order... For RTC: Dark Reign (straight down DM style - fuse chaos) Dark Reign 2 (carr...

No, it was created on v0.49 so is fine with that. Trying an earlier version might create more problems. I must confess I’ve no idea why the central doors have not opened after throwing the corbums. I only know that it has been played many times and has worked, so something must have bugged in this p...

I just went back to that area via an old save, so I did not do it in real time... but there are indeed four levers in the area. You’ve been through the fast-moving hazes and the room where the lever moves. There is another in a room full of wasps, and one more beyond the wasp room where you need a k...

Okay... though I don’t have the RTC txt file, I do have the dungeon.lua file from the DSB version. I have just taken a look. In the part with the six red buttons, the room you entered through the haze is the room you need to get the chest into (northwest in that area). The buttons teleport the chest...

I vaguely remember the six red buttons, but not what they’re for. Is there a chest? I seem to remember having to get a chest from behind a portcullis somewhere. I don’t think the buttons regress the order in any way. I think you can keep pressing all six to move the chest (if I’m thinking of the rig...

Sorry, I think it’s four levers. Not switches. If I get the time later, I’ll try to have a run through it myself because my memory is a bit hazy on this. The first level is rather more complex than the others, because I wasn’t sure at first exactly what I was going for. This isn’t really giving anyt...

In that room, all four plates are initially blocked by hazes.
It seems you’ve uncovered three. If I remember correctly, the hazes are all turned off by switches somewhere in the area.
The key is released when you’ve stepped on all four pressure plates.

Forget that bit about the later level. I’m getting it confused with something else. I think it may be the pad that stops the lever moving, but I think the pad is activated by a button somewhere in that area. Have a hunt around. The monster AI in DSB is indeed definitely more challenging than in RTC....

It’s been a long time for this one too.
I don’t finish work until this evening, so can’t check for sure... but off the top of my head, I think there is a switch or button somewhere that stops the lever from moving.

However, I thought that was on a later level.

Now that I think about it, I might still have the lua file from the DSB version. I’ll take a look if I get a chance later. Unfortunately, DR1 is somewhat reliant on finding switches. It was my first attempt, which started with me just messing around with the editor then just grew, and I didn’t reall...

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.
