[Custom dungeon] The Chaos Mirror [RTC] [Saumun]

Post by Saumun »

Version: Final for RTC V0.49
Platform: RTC
Author: Saumun
Date published: 2014, May 25
Date last updated: 2014, May 25

Story:
A dungeon with some great puzzles and traps.

Notes:
I have uploaded a new dungeon called 'The Chaos Mirror'.
This was knocked together in a couple of weeks after finishing the bulk of Dark Reign 2 (which will be uploaded soon), so it is not as big or tough as DR2 but i'd like to think worth a look.

Hi

Your dungeon is interesting.

I am stuck. I am in the level after the water haze.

After reach the next level you need to activate a tiny switch to active some water haze on the previous level.
After kill all he monster you have a new upper stairs where you get the inquisitor and a ruby key to open the door.
After open the door with this ruby key, you reach another room where you kill some wizard.

Once the wizard kill there is another ruby key door, but i don"t find any other ruby key.
Try:
- Find fake wall
- Return to previous level
- Find switch

What is wrong ?

Nice going.
Sorry, I do not want to spoil good games.
All I can say, is:
There is nothing unfair in this game. You are not stuck because of some dirty trick or some non sense. I am confident, you will find. 8)

You have to search around. A lot of places look the same and you might think you have been every where. I usually drop an article so I can see where I have been then pick them up on the way back. I am quite deeply into the game and haven't found, as Terkio says, any dirty tricks.

Just got to the room by the Ha Ha Ha haze where there is a set of stairs. The thing is you cant climb the stairs as its like walking into a brick wall. Don't know if this is deliberate or accidental.

Have found the place down a set of stairs. 3 alcoves with a haze in each one. Nothing happens when you enter any of the hazes so a bit stuck on what to do here,

i return backward to the "ahahaha" room take the water haze but i was teleport on the same level. In the room near there is a fake stairs.

Are you talking to that stairs ?

Maybe it's better to restart the game from the beginning to find the missed key ?

I think that each way, depending on the colour is a different dungeon. Whether you meet up in the end I dont know. I have now tried the red and yellow routes and they are completely different. The yellow route is massive.

The yellow way is a case of

find a lever to remove a haze which then produces some nasties. I assume that the main purpose is to get rid of all the hazes until you reach the one with the key behind it. There are a lot of hazes and a big area in which to find the levers

There is

a room with a red ornate keyhole and a champion frame in one of the rooms so I presume you have to use the key behind the haze to free this champion
. Beyond that is anyones guess.

We have no news from Chaos Mirror by Saumun for a long time.

No news from Saumun. No news from Dark Reign 2, not released yet.

I fully tested Chaos Miror and Dark Reign 2. Very good games with lots of puzzles.

Is there any news from Saumun ?
I do not have any since I tested two games from him. That was quite a long time ago.

"Dark Reign 2" and "Chaos Mirror" are fully tested, they are definetly worth sharing with the DM community.

Do you think it is right, I publish games from Saumun ?

I quite agree that you should release them into the community. Not a lot of new dungeons are appearing and it would be a pity if the site went down due to lack of interest or not enough dungeons.

Hi all,

I just started playing Chaos mirror a few days ago and finished the "green" way.

Then I started the "black" way and have troubles: I went downstairs the start level and found a corridor in which there is a wall with "Cross me and you will be sorry" message, then I faced a monster (not too hard to kill). After that, I arrived at a 3x3 room with 9 pads (one pad on each piece of the 3x3 room) and a closed door (it seems that there is a shield behind the door, lying on the ground). I tried to walk on every pad in various order but nothing happen. I walked backward in the corridor and... I'm now facing a teleport (which was not present before) => I'm stuck! There should be an easy solution because I'm stuck in a quite small area but I can't see what to do. Nothing obvious, no switch... only those pads, that teleport and that closed door...

Any clue to get me out of that?

Can't remember this. Try putting an object on some of the pads see if they make a sound. Try maybe a cross with the objects.

Hi Shawax...

Been a while since the last time i even looked at this dungeon.
What you need to do is:-
Spoiler
Walk on the pads in a cross (+) shape. Stepping on the corner pads resets them all and you have to start again (obviously you can't avoid the first one, but make the + shape after you step off the first pad).

Thank you for the quick answers! I'll try this soon.

Another question: in the same level, I found a big area (where I faced a dragon). In that area, there are 4 teleports which alternatively switch off/on (one at a time). You can enter these teleports but nothing seem to happen. You can also put objects on the ground with the teleports: same result... What has to be done with these teleports ? Is this essential for the quest or not?

Spoiler
Have a closer look at the blue hazes. You should see a key inside. Killing the dragon opens the first door, and the key opens the one beyond it.
In the top level of this part, there is a room next to the mirror room that is ten squares deep and the blood key you need is buried at the southern end.
Every time you press a black switch, a section of the wall in this room is removed. The two switches on the top level (where you came in) are inaccessible at first. You can get to one of them after you've hit all the switches on the next level down, and the second after you've hot all the switches on the bottom level.
In each part of the bottom two levels, you need to find an onyx key to get at the switches.

Thanks for the explanations. Yas, I had approximately understood the whole idea of the way but... I find it hard to going through it :)
Actually, it seems that I had already done what had to be done in the "dragon area" as I did not find anything when I return to that area. So now, my problem is that I miss a key and don't know where to find it... I roamed a lot in the level, looking on the ground, on the walls... but did not find it until now :/
