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

[valipierce]

Thank you Saumun and thank you jahmian I appreciate it. I have another question, can you kill the Xanthar at any stage of the game once you've opened the areas with the gor coins or do you need to reach a certain point in the dungeon before you can kill them?

[Saumun]

The only xanathar I remember on the bottom level are...

Spoiler

several of them in a locked room. I think I was somehow teleported in there, but I can’t remember from where (possibly somewhere in the area where you get the firestaff, but I could well be wrong).

Spoiler

However, I think it was meant as a death trap. That said, I remember a couple of people saying that they successfully killed them all.

[valipierce]

Alright, thank you I appreciate it, I haven't been able to kill any as of yet but I think I'll return once I've completed the clock tower.

[valipierce]

Sorry to keep showering you guys with questions but do any of you know how to open the chest room in the graveyard/cemetery?

[Saumun]

Sure. You need to get something...

Spoiler

on the floor pad between the blue hazes. Think vertically. Is there something directly above?

[valipierce]

The trap door? That's what you're referring to, right?

[Saumun]

Yes. You need to get an object between the hazes. Anything will do.

[valipierce]

Alright I will try and thank you once again, so all I have to do is get something in the hazes and it opens?

[Saumun]

It’s been a few years since I played.

Spoiler

It either opens it or gives access to something that opens it.

I can’t remember for sure.

[valipierce]

I wasn't able to find a way to get any item in the hazes, but I was able to kill the xanthar by using strength potions but no luck on the treasure room as of now, sorry to ask this but do you know how to open the treasure room in the clock tower? edit:
I have to put something on the trap door then activate a lever letting said thing/object fall on the floor onto the pressure pad.

[Saumun]

Yep, you got it.

For the clock tower treasure room...

Spoiler

You can’t get into it until you complete the level by stopping the clock.

There is something important about when you stop the clock though...

Spoiler

You must stop the clock when the door leading to the treasure room is open. If you don’t, it will be closed forever, and you can never open the final treasure room because you need to enter all of the others to access the final one (unless you load an old save and do it again).
If you stop the clock at 10, then the route to the treasure room and the shop will stay open... though you have to find something else to open the inner door to the treasure room (It’s beyond the final door after stopping the clock).

Finally... you should spoiler any parts of your posts regarding solutions to puzzles, so as to not give it away to others who might play the game later.
It’s the eye symbol with a diagonal line through it.

[valipierce]

Where is the room of the snake? It's the last part of the circle riddle I need to complete, and I don't know what the

Spoiler

'painful hunger strike'

means so if anyone could help it would be appreciated.

[jahmiann]

Snake room

Spoiler

It's in the lower level of pit madness

[valipierce]

Spoiler

when in the room do I have to starve myself or something?

[Saumun]

Yes.

Spoiler

If your characters food is in the red while you’re stood in front of the couatl (snake) picture, the riddle is solved.

[Hafl]

I ran into an issue in 4.0.

Spoiler

At some point, the Rain Staff I got in the priest council transformed into a spiral staff and the option to invoke rain is gone. I found a wiki in Japanese that collects walkthroughs for custom dungeons, but nothing like this is mentioned. I know from the wiki that I need the staff to get the Oh rune and to extinguish the black flame in front of the crypt door.
I tried selling the spiral staff at the warrior's guild weapon shop, but the shopkeeper does not accept it, so it seems to me that it's still distinct from the spiral staffs the shop trades in. Is there a way to recharge the invoke rain ability? Or an alternate solution to the black flame and the Oh rune? As an extreme measure, is there a save editor for RTC? I tried searching this thread for 'rain' but no one seems to have run into this exact issue.

[valipierce]

Hi, I've never encountered that problem during my playthroughs and seems very odd.

Spoiler

I do believe you need to be at least a novice priest to use the staff of rain so if you were able to grow the magic trees and destroyed them and lost your priest levels it may be due to that. If not I can't offer any other solution other then restarting from an earlier save sorry to say. If you are able to could you link the custom dungeon wiki you found?.

Welcome back to all TOC lovers !

Now it‘s time in my life to play TOC a second time and write on my walkthrough on going. My first hint-book was written in 2018.

So hopefully it helps - at the moment i am in the boilerroom from the mage guild because it rains outside!

[ElTango75]

Dear All,

since many days i am back to play TOC a second time. I had a good progress in the last days, so i am now at the stairs with the master key to start with the clock tower level.

I finished cellar, sewer, the guild, Bramuds cave and so on. As i mentioned, i wrote a hint book after my first run, but i have not written down all things. So here are some questions to the community:

1. Is there a possibility to get some more "magic seeds" ? - Because i need one more seeed for a last tree.
2. I forgot to find the 4 leaf glove ? Does anyone know, where i can find it ?
3. I noticed, that after i have finished the sewer, i can go out the tower over the sewer, but - i didn´t found a way ?
4. i never noticed, how to find the 4 large gears - three i found....but the last one....and i forgot, where i found the gears
5. The mines: i collected 9 "hot stones" for the furnace - but nothing happens, and the machine is not running.....

Does anyone know something about my questions ?

[Prince of Elves]

TOC's been ages for me so I'm not sure: was there a spider section with lots of cobwebs? I remember finding some gears there, just not sure if it was TOC or some other dungeon
Blue Steele is in the ghost cellar though (not that you asked )

Does anyone know something about my questions ?

So here are some answers to my questions after playing ToC a long time:

1. If you use magic seeds in other places you can´t get the 4 leaf clove - so you can´t solve the great circle riddle --> the magic seed opens the door to get the 4 leaf glove
2. It is a metal door that opens nearly you used the magic seed.
3. no answer till now...searching
4. In my second run, i noticed the first gear in the middle room of the ghost cellar, the second gear is lying behind the flames in an alcove after you flooded the sewer, the third one lies directly in the clock tower to start the machine and the fourth one.....searching
5. no answer till now .....searching

Many years ago, there was a discussion if Adamski is creating a further part - the nine worlds in the cellar of Bramuds Cave. Does anyone know if this happens ?

[Prince of Elves]

His profile says he was last active two years ago so I suppose that's not happening

[Saumun]

ElTango75

Which version are you playing?
I thought I remembered some seeds respawning in the garden above after I had to cut down a couple of trees due to a mistake, but maybe I’m mistaken.

On the other question, I could swear I remember Adamski talking about remastering ToC and adding the Nine Worlds part.
Maybe I dreamed it.

[ElTango75]

Hi Saumun,

nice to hear from you here again after so many years, i didn´t played ToC. During this time i had a challenge with Underworld Dreams V1.2, and tried Ravenhood - but Ravenhood... i stopped playing because of the difficulty directly at the beginning.

So ToC is in Version 4.0 - so i used the latest version from Adamski.

During the last 2 weeks, i wrote on my hintbook during i played ToC a second time. So i have some more hints written down and also drawed a new big picture map from the forrest.

I restartet a saved game before starting with the magic seeds. So killing the trees - a never found out a new possibility to get new seeds....

What is still left in my hintbook till starting with the tower is the place from the "shame sword", the "SAR rune" in the guild of mages and a last GOR coin - so at the moment i wrote down all places from the GOR-coins.

I will keep all in loop during my game play

[ElTango75]

Hi All,

I still have a challenge during the pumpkin game.

Does anyone know what is the shortest way to the alcove under Alexis-Startroom.

My idea was: tower - cellar - phantomdoor - ladder 2 - sewer - mines - bramuds cave - stairs down to Alexis starting room - stairs down to the alcove…. but this way is not possible in time.

Has anyone an other idea - shorter - quicker ?
