I think I've opened most of the secondary ways, through DDD.
I've been wandering around without a corbum (dropped two of them just before going upstairs at the DDD). Ha.
And I thought I was so clever, finding a second pair of boots of speed (there are four, correct?).

I liked the Zooooom section ...

Part Two of Ku. I must be going through Part One and somehow missing Part Two.
Any way to be sure I am taking Part Two?

I have had fun with the force field you need to trap a skeleton in, then kill it on the other side of the gate to open the gate.
I've been through before and opened the wall to ...

Odd thing about the Dragon's Den: I've been there three or four times but can't seem to find it again.
I believe it's in the KU path. Am I doing something to bypass that 'friendly' dragon that shows up after the initial visit?

I'm still wandering around the dungeon, this time through.
Finally figured out how to get to the wing key.
Found the ruby key and opened the KU way.
Haven't found a place to use the Sapphire or Topaz keys.
I even found a second pair of Boots of Speed (better than PF Flyers, if anyone is old enough ...

I didn't know where to post my latest adventure, seeking to break all known records for Longest Run in CSB.
I was running around, fighting and exploring, when I realized I didn't have the EXECUTIONER (Not Hardcleave. Thanks Ameena.). Huh? I had it earlier.
I guess I saved the game before facing the ...

Can you believe I watched/listened to the whole thing?
This is what you use to put you to sleep, right?

slickrcbd: I went to that site and didn't see any way to download DM2: Stonekeep.

Is it downloadable?

I tried every section of wall, both tapping on it and trying to walk through it.
I did lure a single skeleton warrior onto that plate.
Is there any chance I need to get a group of them on the plate?
If so, I'll probably try that, but I hate to try it if someone knows it isn't the problem.

P.S. I ...

If I recall correctly there's a wall further south that opens when skeletons are on the plate.


I went back to this room, luring a skeleton to the room.
I used a freeze-life with the skeleton on that plate.
Then I beat my head against every possible wall in the area.
No luck, at least for me.

I ...

Checked it out. If I revisit the area, is there any way to lure a skeleton to ...

I have noticed a few places in Dungeon Master that can be bypassed without really keeping a person from finishing the game.
The speedboots behind a number of fake walls is one.

My latest question is about the floor plate in the room that is opened by taking a large number of steps and turning ...

I purchased "Chaos Strikes Back" awhile back. The GOR coin was in that game.
Is it possible the GOR coin was not in the original DM?

It's RTC. It starts out saying it's Return to Chaos, but when you open the application it is Return to Skullkeep.

So I downloaded the SKWin Skullkeep and that seems to be like the 'original on disk' one ...

Yes it is, SKWin is not a clone, this is a port of Dungeon Master 2 original code. Though it is primarily based on japanese PC-9821 version. But it is still not fully working. That said, I just refreshed the package SKWin package .
But you'll probably get the best DM2 experience using the PC-DOS ...

I downloaded the package and checked it out. I don't recall seeing the place a person shows up before.
I purchased Skullkeep for the PC, decades back, actually before I even had a computer with a CD player. Ha.

I kept it until I bought a decent PC and played it, yet don't recall that place with all ...

I'm curious but still confused ... What dungeon/module are you playing in RTC ? this is not the default DMII.txt provided with RTC, right ?
I'd like to test that.


SKWIN: Dungeon Master II for Windows is a truthful port of Skullkeep.
I copied this version information from the Encyclopedia.
Would ...

I have been descending (with a rope) down every hole I could find.
I finally picked one of the holes that dropped me into a good (yet dangerous) spot.
I've gained some ground, as far as going other places, but haven't found anymore scrolls with runes.

I picked a fourth character, so I could get the ...

Does that help?

Power runes are hidden in places too.

If you want to keep on playing that version, keep in mind that probably not many have played it so you'll get even less help than just with default Skullkeep (which is already neglected by most DManiacs ;) )


I'll have to keep on running around, I guess ...

If you have three characters, they each have a set of runes in their own spellbook.
Those different runes are all useable for each character...unless one of your characters is killed.
If that happens, the extra runes in that individual's spellbook are lost to the rest of the members.

I figure ...

I am playing Skullkeep RTC. I found a spell list in the Encyclopedia, however I believe the spells might be for a different version.

I have played/finished Skullkeep before. I believe I purchased the original DM2: Skullkeep at a store,
so it seems the spells are different than the list I found ...

I finally decided to pick four members, mainly to get extra spell symbols.
I would think a fireball would be accessible by now in my game.
Sadly, I am missing a number of the magic symbols for my spellbooks.
How do I find/get these other symbols???
Thanks

I couldn't find any comments to tell a person 'how' to import DM characters into CSB.
I'm sure I saw some comments about what is imported along with the DM characters.
I just couldn't seem to find those comments either. Grrr. Ha.

Also wondering if the characters imported keep their skill levels ...

I used different things so I could tell where it ported me, mostly food probably.
And I made sure to always face north before moving on (after doing a pirouette to check for walls).


I've tried that in the past, as well.
If I remember right, I chose to always face North. (I also started side ...

One other room was/is still confusing to me.
I believe it's the floor below the screamer room.
The room with all the blue fields that tend to transport you back to the beginning of the room.
I didn't spend much time there this time, giving up to go on with the game.
I plan to go back and find a ...

I downloaded DM, CSB and Skullkeep. (Thanks Ameena, but I figured it out.)
Haven't played these great games for a long time.

I'm currently enjoying DM again (great late-night memories in the late 1980's).

I came to the puzzle just after the four objects in the coves riddles.
You know, the room ...

Game envy here. I've never had the pleasure of this experience.
Anyone know if you can time a fall through one of the pits above the dragon,
being reasonably sure you'll kill the brute?

I checked your game out. I didn't have much time but enjoyed it.
Thanks for your effort. I hope to find time (and take the time) to play around with it later.

Aster said: Interesting. I've always wondered where people "deposit all their belongings for storage" and for me it has always been in that room that generates living watermelons (screamers). Is the fountain room near the Rat Room a better location when it comes to getting back there more frequently ...

I went to your demo of the first few floors. It worked well with the keyboard.
Ha. Much faster and easier with no monsters and buttons on every door.
I actually found myself disappointed when I couldn't go down the last set of stairs.

I don't know about the 'map' feature.
It's nice, yet I think ...
