Thanks. I was expecting it to look different than the others but it was only

Spoiler

slightly different when you picked it up.

I've now got the flask as a result, which is quite helpful. I'm ready to go down to the monastry now.

Is there a trick to finding the Zo Liqueur? All of those Sar Wines but I can't find the Zo Liqueur. Is it hidden somewhere in the wine cellar? i.e. In a different place to all of the Sar Wines, (which are just everywhere, inside alcoves)

Thanks for both replies. I now know to ignore the elevator trigger for the time being as I am nowhere near the mines. (I once played Conflux I significantly and vaguely remember where the mines were; nowhere near where I am now, basically). The changes made between Conflux I and III are quite ...

I've just started Conflux III and I have two questions about the starting level (where the four guilds are)

1) Where you drop down from above to the first level (and a whole heap of boulders, rocks and torches fall down with you) there is a black square on the wall that sort of looks like stars in ...

Got it. Thanks.

Maybe I could try placing the

Spoiler

torch in a holder

so it

Spoiler

permanently lights

and then

Spoiler

lure the waxman to the square where the torch burns.

I don't know if there is a

Spoiler

torch holder

near the waxman though.

I've tried using the

Spoiler

burn option with the torch

, either

Spoiler

facing the waxman

or

Spoiler

facing away

and it does not harm him. Do I have to try and set

Spoiler

something else on fire and hope the waxman steps on to the square where the fire is.

The waxman blob is proving frustrating. From the previous entries, I interpret that melting wax with flame is the key to the solution. Not only that, but damaging the wax creature continuously is critical. I can only see three ways of beating it:

Fireballs
Torches
Candles

I cannot see how to ...

Thank you. I got too overcomplicated for my own good. If I have had read the scroll thinking who was asking the question I would have solved it quicker. I feel a bit of a dunce not being able to think of that one quicker. Thanks again. As Aslan said in The Last Battle, is it time to go "further up ...

Ok. walking through the front tower door after all party had a drink didn't work. Hmmm. I'm starting to think that banging into walls everywhere isn't the way to go...

Is the way back into the tower found:

1) Outside
2) In the ghost level
3) In the sewer level (I hope its not the sewer level as I ...

I am assuming that I have the all party drinking to enable to walk through something part right. Maybe i'll try the front door to the tower instead Apart from that, I'll have to go around banging into walls everywhere until I find which wall can can walk through. My party will all have a splitting ...

Hmmm. It didn't work. I'll try to find that scroll and read it again. I don't know where I have left it though.

So I am reading it that you need to have everyone in your party drink the red wine so you can "perhaps" step through the "trapped" message to get back into the tower

If that is the solution I never would have worked it out myself. Thanks Adamski. I'll get to it now and have a try.

Is my escape to do with placing the

Spoiler

Phantom key in every available lock in the ghost level

Although I suspect I have already done this because I have already been through the

Spoiler

phantom door that appears and disappears

I read a scroll in an alcove next to the "Trapped" message ages ago (right at the beginning of my sewer sojourn) and I can't remember what it said. Was that the one that said if you pass the door you will find it hard to get out again

Remember I can actually get out of the sewers to be outside ...

I think there might be a bug in the game or at least my save game may be broken. I escaped the sewers by putting in the vaccum fuse in the appropriate place.

I re-stocked all my characters with food etc. and attempted to get back into the tower but the front door is shut again, even though all four ...

Never mind the above, I have the 4th onyx key now. I'm still going to have to manage to get through this level with all players food levels at zero and beat the fireball throwing demon as well.

Could be tough...

Unfortunately, due to no food I am on the verge of being defeated by this game and I am right at the verge of finishing the sewer level:

I defeated flying-deamon and got an onyx key in the sewers.
I defeated fish-human-shaped-monsters and got an onyx key.
I solved the double gold key puzzle and got ...

How do cursed items work in DM anyway? Do they stick to your hand so you can't let go, or do things generally go against you when you hold them in your hand or if they are in your pack?

I am thinking that the other side of the door could be reached via the bottom of one of the wells (I can't ...

Now that I can get into the tower I am going to run two concurrent games side by side: One where the goal is to win and another where the goal is to clean up everything that can be found (all secrets etc.) in the entire game.

Concerning my "clean up" game, I went back to the very beginning (the ...

I ended up loading an older save and not fireballing the screamers . I ended up getting the bonsai cage.

I have since got the ruby key and got the clan key piece via solving the door puzzle next to the shrinking/growing machine.

I have all four pieces and can get into the tower! I have not yet ...

Ok. I don't have a ruby key. Where is that found?

I've had a sinking thought overnight. There were four screamers behind a pit in a narrow passage and a door behind the screamers . Before I realised there was a door to open with Zo, I fireballed the screamers .

I have a bad feeling I've ruined my ...

I have got quite a bit further through the mage's guild. Solved boiler room. Removed fluxcage in the room with all the scrolls when you get frozen by grabbing a scroll. Don't have key to door behind fluxcage.

I'm guessing I need to catch a screamer in the bonsai cage so I can get it across to ...

I forgot to mention that I have found two places (one in the thieves guild and one in the warriors guild ) that takes you to the central room where all guilds are connected. I am assuming that once I find one more for each of the other two guilds , I will open up the secret teleport. Or have I ...

As far as the eye goes, look for an item that you have gotten so far in the guild to defeat it.

If you mean an item collected in the mages guild I haven't collected much there, only the clubs that the blue blob men drop from memory . I'll have to look at my equipment list again to be sure.

I ...

Just another question, too. What is the maximum number of runes you can collect before entering the tower. I am suspecting that, apart from the puzzles I haven't solved above, I have found all the runes possible so far, although I just realised that I haven't found the teleport from the priest guild ...

I used the read magic to read the wall messages that had xxxxxx's on them and that gave me the clue I needed, thanks.

I can't get past this second eye that says that it will not let me pass. I tried being invisible in front of the eye but it didn't work. I created light in front of it and it didn't ...

Of course, I ended up solving it myself after I posted didn't I. The FUL rune, however, wasn't in the underground prison of the thieves guild, it was in the fireplace of Hieronymus' House

I already had the house key of Hieronymus' ( The cross key ) but it took me ages to find the keyhole to ...

Hello,

First time visitor here. I have just been playing TOC for the past week or so and am very impressed with the variation of things to do for this game.

So far, I have the tower keys from three guilds (Fighter, Priest, Thief) but I have not managed to even remotely begin the Mages Guild. I ...
