Conflux III discussion thread - potential spoilers

Punch, Kiai hit and take items from hidden spot (sewers for example).

I had the impression that fact to find hidden items gave more experience. I was in error obviously.

Thank you for having looked and sry

Oh, and where! If you are on the guild level, or the moister level, your experience modifier will be tiny.... trying it on the council level might be better!

Taking items gives a nice boost, but more to starting characters

Parallax · Post by **Parallax** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 12:52 am

that's something I've been wondering about for a while. Are the XP multipliers is CSBWin fixed and determined by the level, so that, the deeper you train, the faster you level?

Post by **Zyx** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 1:23 am

you can edit the experience multiplier for each level.

i am now in a room with 2 teleporter, and a "altar" with the words "no winds".
i have to put in the right item to go on...
whats it?

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 3:29 pm

Winds!

It is the way to the council, the game is stopping you from taking freeze life items to make the attack too easy for you.

You will need to put in any blue winds into one alcove, and any green winds into another, and any special freeze life rings into a third - then you can meet the council. They might not be freidnly when you drop in - be very prepared!

I've just found the unique ashes.

Nice power up

but the riddles were hard

I thought found the spider map but this reward is cool.

I need

Spoiler

a compass.. I lost mine or never had one.

Has the fur trader one?
I read the whole thread with search function, but
it would not ring a bell.

could someone hint me to one?
maybe with cooridnates?
I have not been able to open up the door and pit riddle,
where there is a shooter of fireball nearby and a sling
was lying around. The minotaur level..

I have about 4 excess throwing stars and would like to get on
with it . really strange that I did not find any by now..
got furx, some bones have gothmog in party and refuse to
take halk, need just one staff for priest guild leader

Spoiler

Beyond the minotaur in the minotaur level, or beyond the fireballable door newar the mips puzzle (whichever direction you come from) there is a door beside a pit and teleporter, where if you can throw an item correctly, passed the teleport and throug hthe door, etc, you can open the area up. There will be a screamer corridor beyond. You can circumvent it if you need to. Around this area is a torch openable door where you need to solve (through throwing rocks) a set of closed doors. Beyond one of these is the compass

thanks! I missed 2 switches, got the compass now!!!

The idea is to search for 'compass' and get the results by post. There's a lot of info on the very first page!

compass - look upstairs from the cellar

Try answering some of the riddles on the spider level for a compass also. Best place though is mentioned in Parallax's post, and the earliest place is mentioned in Beowuuf's post.

Parallax said:

Spoiler

A compass can be found on the top floor, but it's kind of complicated. Considering how advanced you seem to be, you're probably better-off purchasing one in the supply room on the Emerald level. There are none in the sewers that I know of.

And that's just on the first page!

Post by **Paul Stevens** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 3:29 pm

I have added these 'hints' to the Conflux wiki
as 'spoilers'. Follow from the 'ConfluxItems'
page:

http://www.dianneandpaul.net/DMwiki/ind ... nfluxItems

Is this a reasonable way to handle
spoilers? We need some basic information
about each kind of item in the game and,
IMHO, some spoiler information, too.

3 questions :

1) How can i kill the dragon at the elements level ? I got the "Des Sabre" but it gives 10~30 dmg.
Some old posts tell about activate the weapon but how (with the 4 elem ? a spell ?). I need some hints, please

2) Priest Armor. Is there a shield ? (like the dragon set)

3) "Thirst for death" : this text is at the dragon level. Is this a riddle ?

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 5:14 pm

1.How could one activate the DES sabre.... i have no idea

2. If the priest armour is what mophus wears, the shield is with nabi

3. You need to read documentation on runes for a hint

Spoiler

zo is for death

Forget the Des Sabre. Here's how to kill the dragon:

1. Cast "Freeze Life" using gusts, winds or a ring;
2. Cast MON OH VEN as many times as you can;
3. Throw any Blast Spores and Ven Eggs you have at the dragon;
4. Hack with your most powerful weapons, ignoring any warnings from your characters;
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for a while until the dragon drops dead.

No. I'm joking. If you examine the Des Sabre a bit more closely, you'll get a hint at how to activate it (read the text that pops up at the bottom of the screen).

I had read these and other hints,
but it did not help me at all.
unbelievable..

I thought I had solved the riddle on
that level, and got confused.
I tried to not panic and immediately
cry for help, but apparently it looks
like I did...

sorry

Kid_A · Post by **Kid_A** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:06 pm

Just kill him. Nice weapon

300~2000 dmg

Thanks Beowuuf for your hint (answer ?):D
Now my next obj is to solve the apprentice room.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 11:36 am

Sometimes the answers are staring you in the face and it can be annoying - the view spell being granted in the apprentice room is another perfect example!

Is the

Crystal Blade

of Leyla lame?
I hardly land any hits (only about 1/3rd of the time).
With all other weapons I hit every time!
damage is decent, but I miss way too often..
if this is normal I consider swapping it with
the funereal waraxe or the copy of furx....

got 28 points now, and heading for Moria.
killed Vecna, and

leyla is wearing the "T-shirt".

Don't know what to do with special bones

of Lor,
Vecna's Body, Arachnid acid burnt Bones, Druafang's remains,
Fragile bones and the like.. guess some are for some riddles,
maybe the tribute ones on the spider level...
hmm, should I have waited with the fourth champion?

found also a strange scroll>

Conflux is very cool indeed!!

Parallax · Post by **Parallax** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 12:18 am

found also a strange scroll.
It's a riddle, put the answer in the alcove. Well, no, not exactly, because that won't work. Put the proof that you understand what the answer is in the alcove.

Spoiler

The effect is underwhelming either way, you're not missing anything if you don't find the answer.

Spoiler

according to the map, there is a secret corridor on that level.
I guess it will open up somehow? hmm. thanks for the hint,alas,
I just can't think of anything that a poor one has, and
a rich one desires?? Time maybe? anyway, I will come back to it..there are other things to take care of (smaug)

I have once shield bashed a scorpion and a golem into a wall.
They just vanished.. this is bugfix 3, there is bugfix 4 out, but the link does not work..anyway.
can someone tell me please, whether the golem , near
the L-Fountain carried something critical for getting on?

Spoiler

(there is an alcove down a staircase which opens up when you step back and keep the faith. I remember in conflux 2 I somehow got rid of that altar and got on to an area where there was a riddle with rust and I had been opened up a passage to the vorpal blade area, near the flood then...so : how do I open up that altar,
I guess you can?

You'll have to wait for monday for bugfix4 release, I'm currently travelling. The knockback effect will be fixed.

I am far from having a clue. I want to forget about the riddle,
for now. Somehow I cannot make head or tail of it!!

Xanathar :
I only found 3 keys of B.

one in a bag with the four doors
one in a room with worms

I don't succeed in finding the fourth.
I think that she is in the room with the spider generator.
But I cannot close that damn pit.
