I am running ConfluxIIIk on the PocketPC!
It is not easy without a keyboard and mouse. And the
damn thing insists on recording my moves so that I have
to keep deleting the recordings so as not to fill up
memory. And the sound is not exactly what Zyx intended.
We probably need a way to disable recording and a
method of disabling 'Background' sound-effects.
But "Wow"----This has got to be the biggest, most-
complicated game the PocketPC has seen.
If anyone wants to try this, please let me know. I will
post a copy for testing purposes.

kath vinegars are upstairs from the main cellar - you either use the square key to open the door that way, or you go up the stairs beside the tapestries and rat scratches
You get the flask with this final ngredient
I dont' udnerstand what you mean by being able to access every riddle on this topic...

I'm pretty far into the dungeon, and I'm playing with Leif and Linflas. I've unlocked the fighters guild master, and I solved the wizard riddle. I'm kinda stuck in a place I don't want to be in though...
Before I ask questions, I want you guys to know that I think this is one of the best games I played, the new graphics, enemies, and level design work together for a wickedly awesome combination. Oh yeah, the hints are very well written!
Spoilers:
I was wandering away from the dwarf fortress, and I just killed some golden dragon. I've been checking out what's inside of the pits, just about every time I see one, and I accidentially climbed down into "Pit D." Somehow I survived and all the "strange and wonderful" sights had me writing over all my saves. I'm stuck down at the bottom. Is it possible for me to escape? I got to this room where a dark grey-robed dude warped me into a room with a fake wall and some of those evil little thief guys. If I can somehow make it through that, could I get back up to a safe place? I wouldn't mind waiting for the next release before I start over if I'm permanently stuck. Thanks! ^_^

Seoub - no french release on the way, as zyx I think has given enough to the cause of dungeon making for a lifetime, don't you! The way to get a french release would be if you ant to write out all the french dalogue yourself and ask someone nicely to incorporate it into the dungeon!
As for the MIPS puzzle - I can tell you mips stands for might, influence (remember cast your influence) power and ..oh, I forget what the other two stand for actually, but they make sense thinking like that as solutions to getting past doors or getting through doors : )
Insomnai, you accidentally met the dark chancellor... I can't remmeber where he has teleported you, but yes, eevrything is very connected so you can get through that puzzle and find a safe pace. If you meet him again, you can infact defeat him - you just need to be quick footed and quick witted. Someone, infact, who can survive pit D should be able to survive quite well. The sets of stairs are all safe points to save and play from, though only if he isn't close by to do the teleporting whammy on you.
THe 'stairs of ashes' (they have ashes on them) lead all the way back up to the skeleton halls, if you can defeat a large stone dragon and open the doors then these stairs will lead you back up if you find yourself there again.

Well, so if I ask to the DM_WIN creators the opportunity to translate it into french, will they accept ?beowuuf wrote:Seoub - no french release on the way, as zyx I think has given enough to the cause of dungeon making for a lifetime, don't you!

That is about 10 hours. So I am impressed thatAbout "220650." Why do you ask
you could get so much accomplished in that
amount of time. I played for hours on end and
never seemed to get very far.
It is also impressive that the game seems so
stable that I have heard no complaints about
crashes and such for months.

9.963 is waiting in the wings for confirmation
from the Linux team and the Nokia team.
Nothing different about it.....just solidifying it
for all three platforms. Also some graphics
cheats for a PocketPC-like device with 240x240
screen. When everyone agrees that they like
it, we will release it as 10.0 and pretty much call
it quits (Famous last words) except for repairs
or perhaps another platform. I guess that even
macintosh people should be happy now that they
are running on Intel hardware with Windows
emulation.

I fell into Pit D in a tomb/crypt place, there was a lot of skeletons, and some emo looking things. Of course I got there by falling through a pit, in the spider level I think.
Edit: Oh, I finally escaped through "The Thief Maze" or something like that. It had a bunch of gigglers inside. I was warped eventually into the spider level.
Zyx: If you read this, forget about my original post, it's possible to escape, and I did, so you don't have to fix my save. Thanks for listening to me though.

Ya Ven should do damage like any missile. This spell should be particularly effective against heavily armoured monsters.$eoub!!! wrote: Well, so if I ask to the DM_WIN creators the opportunity to translate it into french, will they accept ?
And a small question about Conflux : do YA VEN make some damage to enemies ?
I would gladly help for a translation of the game. Know, however, that it is a huge task.
CSBuild can dump all the texts into a single file. Maybe Paul could then add an "import texts" function?
Anyway, let's start with a small task: $eoub, you could translate the docs to begin with, I'll prepare the textdump for the next step.

So... what level should one find an axe on. I could use a decent weapon.
I have been progressing nicely through conflux 3 now. It is an awesome experience. I am still having trouble finding the items for guild enhancement but I can go up to the artisan level now. I was stumped on the preist riddle, so I just started trying to shove things in the slot. I dont know why I didnt think of the answer... its so obvious yet so obscure at the same time. Funny thing was I had just enough despite using them liberally.
Can the extra Zo potions be used to get more flasks from the cubby in the cellar?
In the sewers "pray" area I went down the pit where you end up. Big mistake... the spiders WTF owned me in a hurry. They are a bit like glass cannons, but my guys couldnt deal the kind of damage that puts them down in a hurry without taking gobs of damage. Whats up with some of them double hitting (with very fast refresh times) and having about 10times the HP of the other spiders? I did find a way back up though.
Back to conflux Hope I didnt do any spoilers... I tried to be careful.

You can only get one flask from the flask quest. Extra zo potions can have occasional other uses but if you have too many they merely make nice floor decorations
As for the axe...umm, sorry, i forget now! There are a few dotted around, but the one I know for sure is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down deep where none but the brave dare to go!

I think it's better if I just bump this thread than add a new one.
I've gotten a bit further, but I'm stuck in a few places, and I'd love a little push in the right direction.
The first three are the only really important ones.
Spoilers:
1: What is the altar of roses for? I emptied the room of green blobs, but there seemes to be nothing inside.
2: I found the lost wand, but I have no clue how to get out of the room.
3: What does the ultimate sacrifice spell do but hurt me? I used a skullseed as an item, but I just lost about 20 HP.
