Totally Stuck - Spoiler

Post by davfrahen »

I`m really stuck on level 3 of Watchers Keep. I have the Sceptre of Radiance and 2 Sceptre Gems. Now, I`m just going round and round in circles. Where the walkthrough tells me to go North - the exit is not available.
I just keep going to the same places.

Try to go backwards into the portals, sometimes it works..
SPOILER! (Highlight to read.)

You are supposed to follow the "Madmans diary" to find your way out, otherwise just check the walkthrough here att GB

Edit. well..the higlightning wasn't necissary then.. :(
If there's something more important than my ego. I want it caught and shot now.

I am following the walkthrough. I am in chamber 18 (after killingTieflings) and I`m supposed to be going north. But I can`t. Any other direction leads me round in circles.
Looks like I might have to give up the Watchers Keep bit.
Such a shame.

Do it from scratch and make sure you've collected every item needed - the labyrinth's a bit messy and it's easy to get lost. 10 bucks says that's what you've done.

Can you explain why you can't take the north exit? I don't understand this.

SPOILERS



To reach the final area:
1/ take the north exit from the Tiefling room
2/ you are now in a room with a birch tree
3/ take the north exit from the birch tree room
4/ you are now in the slave wraith room (cast death ward before entering)
5/ take the north exit from the slave wraith room
6/ you are now in the final area

If you can't exit north from the Tiefling room, try this:
1/ take the west exit from the Tiefling room
2/ you are now in the very first room (with the compass symbols)
3/ take the west exit from the first room
4/ you are now in a room with an orange tree
5/ take the east exit from the orange tree room
6/ you are now back in the Tiefling room, where you can try again to exit north

Thanks for the replies. It was incredibly simple in the end. I thought that the door you entered by would only take you back to the previous room you`d been to. Obviously, this was not so. Straight away, everything became much simpler.

don't feel stupid

mazes can be like that - I had to go back to the compass room and start again. one room really made me jump as enemies spawned, even though I'd cleared that room.

yesterday I go to the point of completing the battles of the final seal - took a few re-loads to get that done, as I tried a number of different techniques. the staff of the magi and breach can be quite useful.

when fighting cone of cold type opponets, you need to be watchful that you don't smithereen and permanently kill party members. the number of live party members is dropping and then bang! their portraits disappear.

I must have gained about 3 levels in watcher's keep - I think I hit lvl 19 fighter yesterday - that is a lot of xp.

remember to use the side exits back to the above ground world - much less boring that going from cleared level to level.
