[RTC] Tower of Champions HINTS & HELP *SPOILERS*

[RobH]

Amazing game. As fun (and frustrating) as DM. I solved three guilds, but I can't get past "Verify your Aim" in the thieves guild. I sent every form of throwing weapon through the open door and on the pressure pad, no effect. What is supposed to verify aim?

This took me a while as well. But there is a hint written on 2nd level of DM. :HIT AND RUN:
Ok, for ToCh it should be modified to :Throw and Run:, but I am sure you got the point.

[Chanis]

Glecko,
1st - you should have 2 scrolls
2nd - use scroll for navigation, you can identify items on it in much better way.
3rd - "save" before you "flash" may save you some money towards end of the level.

Save is your most powerfull spell. It is not fair, but it is effective

[glecko]

I need a hint with the mirror rooms. The table with the 2 coins. when I insert the silver coin in the last room nothing happens? The map of the last rooms with the pits etc is a mirror image of what I really see. whats the deal? I am dead ended at the corridor with the coin slot for the silver coin.

[Chaos-Shaman]

hehehe

[glecko]

I realized the

Spoiler

coin slot

probably opened t

Spoiler

he gat

e and I was right. So, I sally forth! FESTOONS!!! ......... or something.

[Kid_A]

Is there a purse for the coins ? Like DM II
My bag is always full with these coins

This dungeon is really good but really hardcore too

Good work Adamski

Long dead guard it, tombstone prevent to reach it, just choose right one and smash it.

erf ...
Really need some help

1-Dont know what to do at the clock level. I've solved 5' and 7' riddle, got the KU rune and armor
Must I solve all the hour to clear this lvl ?
2-how to open the entry door of the tower ? I need some food ... (it's really boring this lack of foods).
3-Waxman : I've tried a lot of items without success.

[Chanis]

Kid: solving clock is important. Try to figure it out. I will help you with last one, but others are not that hard. For both waxman and clock - there are many hints in forum. Search it through. Tower door will be opened lately. Don't recall exact point, but ignore this posibility for now. Have you finished ghost cellar level? If so, you should be able to get some food back in tavern.
What would i do: 1st waxman, 2nd ghost cellar, 3rd clock tower. It would be wise not to start clock tower unless you ready for it.
IF you short on food, reduce your party. 4 members is waste of space. 2 will be enough, and i suggest take Richard. For now.

[RobH]

I'm past the

Spoiler

gem level and in the pits

. I got

Spoiler

3 gold keys

. I can't get past the

Spoiler

disappearing wall near what looks like corbamite

. There is

Spoiler

a wall switch to remove the wall, then a floor switch puts it back

. Also:

1. The room on the

Spoiler

pit level

with the picture of the winged dragon. My

Spoiler

four leaf clover

likes it. Why?
2. The

Spoiler

gem treasure

behind

Spoiler

three appearing teleports

. I tried all the left-right teleport combo moves to throw zo, arrows, and fireballs. No effect. I see a wooden door. It will not open or break. Edit: Just a simple

Spoiler

left - right - left teleport

. The

Spoiler

door noise

finally gave it away.
3. The

Spoiler

mage treasure

. There is a

Spoiler

green pad and three holes in front

. I can't blast the door and

Spoiler

nothing goes for food thrown on the pad

. Edit: KidA - Thanks for the hint, that worked.

If this game had been DM II, we would all be playing DM XVII right now.

[glecko]

I have not found any use for the 4 leaf clover. Can someone give me a not too vague hint? Thanks

[Kid_A]

RobH:
3-

Spoiler

A bonzai can help you

Chanis: thx for your advices.
I've restarted with just alexei and richard. Food is now ok and time demon is dead.

Now, I need a hint with the mirror rooms. It's the room with the table, flask water, green gem ... (first room).
I've checked a thousand times all the objects and it fits perfectly (fireplace is on).

Edit: Ok solved. I'm just stupid ^^

[lbk]

The 4 leaf clover

Spoiler

gives you hits related to the big circle puzzle.

@RobH: I believe that for the disappearing/reappearing wall

Spoiler

you need to throw an object onto a pad, could be wrong though.

[RobH]

The 4 leaf clover also

Spoiler

gives notice of "interesting things" like the mirror in the stair maze

.

The disappearing/reappearing wall is

Spoiler

triggered by a small plate, so items don't work

.

[glecko]

the

Spoiler

materializers

are particularly annoying. I have about

Spoiler

5 of them on one stairs

level. I am interested in anyones suggestions for beating them. I get about three or four at the most. They are nasty. Any strategies would be helpful. Thanks

[RobH]

gleco: try the

Spoiler

weaken non-material spell

. It is a standard DM spell (http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/197). Try to get a

Spoiler

wall behind them to set off the spell, otherwise you have to wait until they materialize

. The

Spoiler

vorpal blade

works as well, but it is much slower.

I'm still stuck on the

Spoiler

pit level near the corbamite

. There is a wall switch that opens a wall segment. There is a

Spoiler

small floor switch in front of the open wall that instantly puts it back

. I can't get past. I can see

Spoiler

corbamite

on the floor just past the wall. Any hints on the

Spoiler

four gold keys

? I have three, including one that reminds me of

Spoiler

"When is a rock not a rock?" Only with holes

. The

Spoiler

advanced map

helps a lot, play with the

Spoiler

four switches on the bottom of the map

to see what they do. EDIT: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggh!!!!! I walked right past the

Spoiler

grapple

a dozen times, I thought it was a

Spoiler

rope

.

Also, what is the deal with the wall switch in an alcove on the

Spoiler

pit level

that turns on a

Spoiler

teleport directly

behind you? Then a floor switch turns it off. Thrown objects

Spoiler

go right through without teleporting

.

[Kid_A]

Game finished

Amazing work Adamski !!!!!!

I've need some help/clue for some secrets :
-Blood keys : lot of locks but I've just find only one key.
-Priest guild / Crypt : It's a corridor with a chest and a pressure pad (lightning trap). How bypass this trap ? (I've tried the teleport spell without success).
-Vigor door : I've opened the door, killed the monster but I can't take the treasure (lot of teleport).
-Can't find Electra.
-Any tips for the fire shield in the gems lvl ? There is a deathly fire trap on it. EDIT: Thx RobH ^^

Can't help, I got 2
-Priest guild / Crypt : It's a corridor with a chest and a pressure pad (lightning trap). How bypass this trap ? (I've tried the teleport spell without success).
With a high enough character,

Spoiler

just walk through

-Vigor door : I've opened the door, killed the monster but I can't take the treasure (lot of teleport).
I read somewhere else that

Spoiler

all 13 treasures are needed first

-Can't find Electra.
-Any tips for the fire shield in the gems lvl ? There is a deathly fire trap on it.
The

Spoiler

gems

are the solution, but

Spoiler

only one

[glecko]

I am still lost in the stairs maze. I could use a hint about the abcdefgh buttons

[Chanis]

I am still lost in the stairs maze. I could use a hint about the abcdefgh buttons

Spoiler

Some buttons are linked. If yo push it, you are teleported to another location. I recall like 3 groups of buttons. Almost each button makes separate small corridor, with dead end on BOTH sides. To get out, use button again. Once you get close to complete it, you need to use (i had to use) one curtain to reach certain key. Dont remember which letter. Use curtain accesable all the time, so you can turn enchant off and escape loop. Do i have to tell you need to turn enchant off before you play with buttons and making map? And .. you can teleport into closed doors. Just carefully map each stage and you will be fine.

the

Spoiler

materializers

are particularly annoying. I have about

Spoiler

5 of them on one stairs

level. I am interested in anyones suggestions for beating them. I get about three or four at the most. They are nasty. Any strategies would be helpful. Thanks

Spoiler

I used following strategy: enter stairs, hit with weapon, step out wia stairs. Once you get pass first sqare it is not that hard. Since i play with no more than 2, you can either put them one after another evading half of spells, or i put both on rear position, turning after they swing weapons, still saving some damage from spells passing infront of me (while i am turned).

Weapons you can use:

Spoiler

vorpal blade, vi-blade, soul blade (carefully with this one)

[glecko]

Thanks for the hints. I have found the blood keys and proceed onward. GADZOOKS! or whatever.

[glecko]

On the stair level there are a couple stairwells that remain unpassable. One of them is

Spoiler

past an illusory wall that reveals a sign that says something like "small hint left illusory wall" The secret map device shows the stairway.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

[Chanis]

"Left wall is, now and then, illusionary" Writting is saying exactly what left wall is. Oh it is magic text

[glecko]

I have been trying to find the

Spoiler

red and green crosses,

but I cannot use the stairs that lead to that corridor. It must be

Spoiler

a movable wall

. I cannot figure out how to

Spoiler

move the walls to gat to the corridor with the red and green crosses.

Help!!

[Kid_A]

Spoiler

Don't walk on the red crosses
