Re: [RTC] Tower of Champions HINTS & HELP *SPOILERS*

Thanks for the hints! I was able to finish :) Took me a while to realize I had to make chaos angry, be on the roof and then get hit by him. I had done all combinations of two of those things. I noticed there are some other rooms on top of the tower according to the magic map, but they seem unreachab...

Re: [RTC] Tower of Champions HINTS & HELP *SPOILERS*

Ok I seem to be stuck again... I've found Chaos, I can beat him up a bit until he gets mad. I've a got the sun orb (also a couple of corbums) but not sure how to use it so I guess I need the firestaff first. I found where it is but need to finish the big circle riddles. I think I've got two to go. T...

Re: [RTC] Tower of Champions HINTS & HELP *SPOILERS*

It was actually the door where the switch was that was the problem, I didn't realize it could be bashed. I had tried a few times with different weapons and attacks which didn't work, then Zenith was able to open is with simple bash. After that it was easy, not sure if there was a timer involved or ...

Ah thank you, I'm unstuck :) I did not realize you could get behind the lightning bolts, I was avoiding that area as they were very loud and annoying. For heavy key, I see, I already have the sword.

Re: How Many Keys are Needed

I retract my previous statement, you do need 4 keys. The winged key can be skipped but you need the boots of speed, I thought the boots of speed could be retrieved via the teleporter at 07(14,33) to 02(14,20). But it turns out this never actually works as the teleporter is turned off too fast and th...

Re: CSB in 6 minutes and 40 seconds

Yes I tossed up between Ku and Ros. Ros you have to do quite a bit of effort to get passed the mummies and scorpions to get the green gem, and you have to kill a strong demon in 'zoom' area of the DDD. Although if you're luck enough to the lockpicks from a giggler at 06(19,04) you can escape the gre...

CSB in 6 minutes and 40 seconds

I made a recording of CSB in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Similar to rain''s 9 minute recording but instead of one save I used around ten. The saves are so I could get the right result with the gigglers for the boots of speed and take maximum risks so it's not a legitimate Race to the Ful Ya Pit entry....

Re: Favourite and least favourite level?

I think there was good rhythm you could get into to take them out without too much hassle. Four (or maybe three) punches then retreat one square as they advance, rinse and repeat. Seemed to be the quickest way to dispatch them.

Re: Where are the Gigglers?

Interesting, thanks for investigating! It seems quite unlikely at least.

If I play another "collect all items" game I might edit the dungeon to try and prevent that and make that teleporter go somewhere non inaccessible.

Chaos' teleporting seems to be limited to 1 or 2 squares too, and only in some directions, maybe only backwards. I've never seen h...

Those demons, the recording would have been 15 seconds faster if they hadn't blocked me and saved chaos at the last moment. Good bodyguards I guess :wink:.

Congrats!!

I had a play around my own local server and client and it worked well. I like how you handled the light between teams, and sleeping.

Now we just need to assemble a four person team to rush Chaos Strikes Back, one way each and meet at the pit!

Yes sorry I did mean 7(12,30) for the giggler pressure pad location. That's very odd, it really seems like a bug that an item gets teleported to 7(9,26).

Re: Where are the Gigglers?

I've got a question regarding the shooter at 07 (14, 34). Looking at CSBuild it looks like when a giggler steps on 07 (14, 30) it can shoot items through the teleporter at 07 (14, 30), but this just seems to go to 07 (09, 30) and then would keep flying north to 07 (09, 26), which is inaccessible.

Working Atari version

Hi Paul, IIRC CSBWin was based on a port from Atari. I was wondering if you played the Atari version under emulation? I tried a couple of versions of emulators and DM/CSB roms from online but didn't get anything working. Did you have a setup that worked?
