[Adamski]

Antraxus, I also sent you a pm with the fixed savegame and details

i hate you for the snail-den

[Adamski]

Is it too hard?

[antraxus]

Hi

I have played this dungeon a while now and I am enjoying it really much, esspesially the puzzles. Thank you Adamski for this amazing dungeon! I am playing version 1.0 (didn't want to restart). Now I am in the

Spoiler

trolamport

or what the heck it was called and now I am stuck.

Spoiler

I cant get the key from the dead tree.

I think I need some kind of item for that but I have no clue where should I search for it.

Also, I think I should have four characters by now, according to

Spoiler

cutscene near the dream palace. I have found Goro and Fahn, where is the mage?

I think I found an error in this game. In the

Spoiler

dream palace where you first meet the scribes there is a teleporter near the windoww preventing the scribe from leaving. but after he disappears, the teleporter stays there and if you walk in the corner where he was, you'll get stuck and you have to kill yourself.

Also, It might be intentional, but

Spoiler

meditation circles make level-upping your characters wizard and priest levels ridiculously fast.

And again, thank you for this amazing game.

waiting for answers

It's not a walk in the park Adamski, it's a forest

The lineage is really good and that forest wallset which I happen to love trees, it's fantastic. You spent the time on this one and I couldn't be more giddy as a school girl/boy, those added sounds to everything give it feel, like when first playing dungeon master on a surround stereo system on the Amiga way back in the 80's

How long did this one take? I know you have a bunch, but this one seems special.

[Adamski]

Hi Tulimmainen,

to answer your first question I need some information:

Spoiler

did you meet Gillian?
did you visit the library?

About the mage,

Spoiler

Zuus sleeps in the old tree roots. Explore the area using 'reveal symbol'

The scribes: thank you for for pointing out the problem. There is a holder I forgot to remove. Another fix for UD 1.2

And finally, I don't understand the problem with the meditation circle. Do you gain experience when you use it?

Thank you for playing and congratulations: you are the fastest player

[Adamski]

Thank you for your words, Chaos
I started making this dungeon about 5 years ago, but I worked inconstantly (I don't know if this term is correct). I starded testing UD last May

[Tulimmainen]

Yes, I did both.

Spoiler

I read two books to gillian, knightmare and royal court. I have a flute and I suppose I need it in hall of music, but I need key to get there. I found a note that tells that the key is in trolamport. There is a tree trunk, but it says that I can't reach the key.

In meditation circle, you can just spam meditate button with Elektra and, say, EE fireball with other character, so it takes like 10 minutes to get your characters lo mastery in wizard level. Its not really a big problem, you can grind levels also normally by sleeping and restoring mana that way, but it takes a lot more time and food that way. I just think that you could remove the ability to restore mana by meditating on circles because it is kind of unnecessary, it doesn't really help you unless you want to gain levels fast. Just my opinion, thou

Sure is a lot of fun.

I am still stuck on floor 7, there is a pit and door with button on the lower level, the zoom puzzle. Where is that pit located?

[Adamski]

Chaos, you can't close that pit by building a wall below. The reason is there are some spikes that destroy the amber wall. You have only a way:

Spoiler

the pad. The zoom trap moves the party to the teleport. Try to block the party in the right position. Most of amber tower puzzles can be solved with the same spell.

[Chaos-Shaman]

Yes, the pit with the spikes won't allow amber wall. I'll try again a bit tonight, maybe I'll get lucky.

[Adamski]

Tulimmainen, it's strange but only now I see your post

Hints:

Spoiler

You'll be able to get that key later. When you read king's court, you found a flute and another thing.

Concerning the meditation circles, I have 3 solutions:

• restore less mana

• totally remove restore mana

• allow each meditation circle only once

I have to think about...

[jahmiann]

Hi adamski

Yes, i passed the rotate alcove i finished the room with sleep bolt (by the way i get the same issue than antraxus, the game slow down and crash). I will try your preconized settings in the config.txt.

But the real problem is i have only one lantern i didn't found other lantern, to forwarding ...

[jahmiann]

ppff i am think i am in a death end .

FYI: after set all to NO nothing change the room with sleepy bolt crash after 10 minutes. I think the crash comes when you summon amber wall directly in front of shooters. But it's not the big problem ...

The big problem is in the spoiler below. I am unable to pass the door ...

Please read the spoiler admaski and tell me if there is a solution.
I am afraid to restart whole dungeon from the beginning after a fix on the freeze coming from sleepy bolt maybe in a version "undworld dream 1.2"...

Spoiler

I found the "slide down" to sleepy allow but i am unable to pass the door quicky cause of instant slowing.
1°) I closed the pit and summon the amber wall to block sleepy bolt.
2°) I active the levert to open the door
3°) when start forwarding on the plate the game freeze for 1 second (i think cause of the sleepy bolt trapped in the amber wall).
4°) When the game unfreeze is to late the door is closed. During the freeze in don't see the animation of the door closing.
I try to run with the cat boot equiped but nothing change....

[Adamski]

Jahmiann, the solution is pretty simple: do you remeber the single sleep bolt shooter before the sleepiness hall? It casts bolts one after another, and they fly around the wall.

Spoiler

Next to that wall there is a secret switch: press it.

I've definitely fixed that problem in ver. 1.2

[jahmiann]

Yehh

i forwared i have now 2 lanterns and i am starting the "labyrinth door"

But

Spoiler

I don"t have the choice to clean monsters in sleepy hallow cause of the alarm. Does it the right moment to kill them ?

[Adamski]

Better killing them once completed the tree. From 1.1 version it will be possible only then (and they are much stronger ). You can and you must collect all the lanterns without wake them up.

[jahmiann]

ok i like this challenge but how avoid trigger the alarm when use last ra-key ?

[Adamski]

Remember

Spoiler

the shy straircase

[Adamski]

By the way, how did you open the door before the Ra key?

[jahmiann]

Thx i know now how avoid alarm.

I think, i understood how the great tree works with 1 lantern.

Spoiler

For each door when you need 1 lantern:
1°) Open the door with the lantern
2°) Find a path to the sleepy hallow beyond the opened door (a ra-key is needed to do that)
3°) Back to the previous room and take the lantern (the door is closing)
4°) go to previous sleepy hallow passage and back in the other side of the closed door (3°) by the newly sleepy allow passage found.

Does this until you don't have the 2nd lantern.

At the end you have 4 sleepy allow access, the main access + 3 access by a ra-key ...

[Adamski]

Yes, it's right Jahmiann

[Adamski]

Antraxus, you must

Spoiler

"jump" from numbers to letters and vice versa finding the right sequence.

Edit: Antraxus, your post's disappeared

[Igor Poulpupov]

Hi Adamski!
I started playing your dungeon. Very nice so far, your work on the graphics is amazing.
I'm in Helga's dungeon. I wanted to understand how to use the medicine, so I looked at some spoilers... Now I know I'll have to use it later, but I also read there is something very important I didn't do in the dungeon. But no matter how much I check the walls, I can't find

Spoiler

the companion that is in there, if I read correctly... I solved enough riddles to have the armor, the drum, the necklace, rotten bread that I purified, and I spent 10mn walking around the dungeon with that one spell acivated. I can't find the companion, nor the second meditation circle if it's there...

[Adamski]

Hi Igor,

Spoiler

there is another part of the dungeon accessible exploring the swamp

[Igor Poulpupov]

Ok, thanks, I found it. I misread your indications here.

[Chaos-Shaman]

I made it to the top of the tower and found the

Spoiler

amber blade

but Mr Quilp ran off with the wand again. Where do I go next? Furion didn't want the special object, he wants the wand. Where can I find Mr Quilp so I can rob him of that wand?

[Adamski]

Chaos, I think Furion won't allow you to pass until he keeps his eyes open

[Chaos-Shaman]

I never would of guessed that, I was trying to make ever other monster do that but him because of his request, thanks.
