RTC DM Early level help

Post by SoleSurvivor »

Hello.

I've had a few goes at getting past this door. It's right after you've chopped down the wooden door with the axe on Level 3

I've found the small switch next to the pressure pad but I can't turn right and forward fast enough. Do you have any suggestions I can use?

Thanks.

Hi Soul Survivor. I think this has been answered recently elsewhere, but I will summarise best I can.

Make sure your champions are not wounded (red borders around their body) nor are overloaded (carrying capacity in a yellow font). Use the mouse to click on the switch then use the keyboard shortcut to sidestep. There is no reason to turn around, that may be what is stopping you from getting through.

Good luck!

I recall getting hit on the head here, but Beowuuf's advice is good. Mouse for the switch, tap quickly the 'direction' key to get through.

My only other observation is... Does RTC 'slow' down the engine speed on supa-dupa fast computers?

It has been noticed that the keyboard seems slower than clicking the direction buttons with the mouse, but in this case that should't be an issue

If you ever do have problems with a superfast puzzle it's something to think about!

Just an "atmosphere" test at present and a couple of initial puzzles, don't get too excited! It's still many months of work away...

these things belong to rtc forum.

But anyway, turn left when you are standing just where you screenshot, press that small button, step (And step, don't turn) two times right as quickly as possible, and be as fast to kill the next foe you encounter or you will be in big trouble!
I don't post anymore for reasons real-life.
