was there a solution for the Strength path - I have 2 doors (one wooden and one Iron) that i can't get through. I have a strong charactor - only one... and used the strength potion to get 100 strength but still couldn't break down. I have also done the Arena in this area - not sure if there is anything out of that other than pride as it took me back to the hive in the end.

Don't want to start again - but can't use the ruby key past those doors!

GAH! :( I really have no clue what RTC is doing with this strength issue! You are not the first one to comment on problems about bashing doors... I'm not sure how Adamski and the master solved the problem. You could try putting the character in the rear row (it sounds silly, but something like this seems to have worked for Adamski). The exit of the Arena is indeed the wooden doors that are supposed to be bashed. I'm terribly sorry I can't give you any other advice, it seems RTC is f'ed up when it comes to strength measurement (all doors have the same strength...). :(

I haven't. I went back and tried another path first, so I still have this problem of bashing this door to come.

I think I'm gonna need a little help here, as I appear to be seriously stuck; complete with that nagging feeling that I'm just overlooking something stupid. Anyways, I'm past the

Edit: Man, how typical is that? Soon as I post I figure out what to do. If only I could have flashes of genius like that before I post...

Thank you Hiroyuki, I'm glad you enjoyed the dungeon. :)
Out of curiosity, how long did you play? How many secrets have you found? Which ending did you see (there are several ones)?

Re: Doom Blade - Hint Book

Ok, so im having an even worse problem with the 'looping music' bug. I didnt die, and yet it doesnt matter where I go after I beat the temple of Gatkin it still plays the 'temple music' everywhere. Its really weird cuz I cant mute it. If I try and mute it it mutes the sound track that is supposed to be playing for an area but not the temple music. Even if I quit RTC and restart, it plays. This sucks because I really enjoy the soundtrack, but the discordancy of two tracks playing at once is driving me to distraction, and im getting annoyed at the temple music over and over again if i mute the other track. Is there any triggers I can step on in the area to 'stop all music' to make it hopefully stop both music tracks and then hopefully restart only the one that is supposed to be playing?

Chekc the config file, there might be a global music setting that might override other things.

Can't exactly remember, will check when I get home!

Re: Doom Blade - Hint Book

Thanks beo, that helped. Now I can at least play for a little bit, however the bugged music will sometimes play *loudly* regardless of what the volume is set to in the config file. It appears to be playing at least volume level 5(default). Before this happens, both musics can be muted/turned up normally in sync with each other by using both the config file and the volume control in game.

Upon further experimentation the cause of the loud music playing appears to be going into the savegame menu. When returing to the game after a save, both tracks start, only the "temple music" is playing much louder than the original music and cannot be turned down except by master comp volume. Also, the bugged music does not always start immediatly on playing. I believe (further experimentation is needed) that it sometimes starts after the normal track has played once and loops.

RTC has bugs with music triggers and multiple music items playing at the same time. You can't do anything about it except turn off music by setting it to 0 volume.

Re: Doom Blade - Hint Book

I have a little bit of time today and returned to Doom Blade (I didn't get very far before things got busy for me!)
I'm stuck in the Dragon Cave by the torso plate puzzle. I followed the directions in the hints about the 2 levers, but I simply can't get this to work, I don't think I'm fast enough. I can't get the teleporter on for more than a split second (and when I do, the item I threw over isn't transported anyway). Help.

EDIT: Does the item have to be airborne to be transported? If so, I'm screwed: I definitely am not fast enough to throw something then trigger both levers. I get in a pickle with my mouse/keyboard presses -- I don't have the reactions I had 20 years ago!

EDIT: More haste, less speed! I finally did it. Trant, you're a bit mean with timed puzzle tolerances, aren't you? ;)

New question: How do I get into the skull door in the Dragon Cave with the Blackflames behind it? I'm guessing the IR key that I need in the other door around the corner is behind this door...?

You will actually enter there from another side. The IR key is here indeed.
Hell, I don't remember how to enter this place at all.

Probably from above.

Sorry for the delay Gambit. Ok, I just checked. The good news: It's not a dead-end. I seemed to actually have put SOME thought in that thing.
Joramun is right with his hint. Keep exploring the first room where you found a dragon. You will find a corridor with a hole in the ceiling. Explore that corridor.

Oh! I thought that corridor was just a trap. Didn't bother going back there after I was toasted the first time.
