New topic: The action in the Sacred Grove only solves one half of the puzzle

New page

==The action in the Sacred Grove only solves one half of the puzzle==
This is probably already known by some but in order to get to the secret level Desolate Garden, the player also needs to cross a line at the end of the [[Hub 1: Bright Crucible|Bright Crucible]] in addition to flipping the switch in the Sacred Grove. Since this seems illogical considering that the game message on the latter level claims that pressing the switch would be enough, I thought to share this technical info to support the edits I'm going to make in [[Hub 2: Sacred Grove]] and [[Hub 4: Desolate Garden]]. Here are some crucial details from v1.1.:

<br>Bright Crucible (MAP06):
ACS_Execute(8, 21, 0, 0, 0); (this has been set to linedef #149 at the entrance of the exit cave)
From the BEHAVIOR lump of Sacred Grove (MAP11):
script 7 (void) // when the switch in the center has been pressed
{
if(gametype() != GAME_NET_DEATHMATCH)
{
sectorsound("SwitchOtherLevel", 127);
setlinetexture(1, SIDE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "SW_OL2");
delay(const:2);
setlinetexture(1, SIDE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "SW_OL3");
delay(const:2);
setlinetexture(1, SIDE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "SW_OL4");
delay(const:2);
setlinetexture(1, SIDE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "SW_OL5");
delay(const:2);
printbold(s:"A DOOR OPENED ON THE FORSAKEN OUTPOST");
ACS_Execute(9, 21, 0, 0, 0);
}
}

From the BEHAVIOR lump of Forsaken Outpost (MAP21):
script 8 (void)
{
mapvar3++;
terminate;
}
script 9 (void)
{
mapvar3++;
terminate;
}
script 10 (void) // when Daemon Codex has been picked up in front of the door that seals the secret portal
{
if(mapvar3 == 2)
{
Door_Open(const:50, 16);
}
}

They speak for themselves. The article has now been <font color="#0000FF">'''checked'''</font>. --[[User:Jartapran|Jartapran]] 22:29, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

	As you return to the Gibbet, you’ll see the message “You hear a door open upstairs”. Its time to head up the northern stairs to the balcony. You’ll be in for a sizeable fight here, as you face off against [[Centaur]]s, [[Slaughtaur]]s, [[Ettin]]s, and [[Dark_bishop\|Dark Bishops]]. The Dark Bishops will fire their projectiles through bars on the right - this is an opportunity to cause monster infighting. The structure in front of you has several [[Quartz_Flask\|Quartz Flasks]] underneath it, but be careful - it's a crusher trap. There is a hollow indent in the crusher so that you can stand inside of it safely, but if you slip up, you’ll be killed. Luring the monsters under the crusher and triggering it is a risky but effective strategy. To your right, there is more room for maneuvering and cover, and a pentagon structure surrounded by pillars. The green pillars hold [[Fléchette\|Flechettes]], but they’re also mini-crushers which will damage you (although only by 5 HP at a time). The southern wall of the pentagon structure opens to reveal an interior with several [[Afrit]]s and a [[Disc_of_Repulsion\|Disc of Repulsion]]. Stepping inside causes the torches to light, brightening the room. Once you’ve cleared the area, your remaining objective is the Axe Key. Go over to the southeast corner of the cage, in the far corner of the room, and you’ll find an opening. Strike down the suit of armor if it’s still standing.

At the mouth of this cave is a linedef which is the first of the two triggers which opens the secret door on the [[Hub 4: Forsaken Outpost\|Forsaken Outpost]].

	This one’s going to be very easy, as you appeared in the western part of the Guardian of Steel, perfectly symmetrical with the eastern one. So again, go through the stairs up to the room with the door-pillar (you will notice that this time, it requires the steel key to open), then through the other long stairs back to the central room and through the steel key door you saw earlier on. There again, a lift will take you down to two corridors. Go through the one that is accessible and pull the switch at its end. Then head back to the door-pillar rooms and toy a bit with the bull-head switches there, so as to move the steel bar from the corridor it was blocking to the one you already went through. Then head back to the central room and through the steel key door down and through the other corridor to yet another switch. Having pulled this one, everything that needed to be is done and you can merrilly head back to the [[Hub 1: Seven Portals (map)\|Seven Portals]] for the grand finale...

	You will appear right in a room quite full of wendigos so start running around and kill them all as quickly as possible, as theis attacks can hurt a lot. Then the walls of the room will slide down, revealing an even bigger room with more wendigos. When all of them will have been killed, take a look on the map to find out where exactly you are (relatively to the parts of the level you’ve already been to). On two sides of the room (where it touches the door-pillar room) are lifts that will take you to the door-pillar room. Go there and through the long stairs first down and then up again to the other (northern) door-pillar room. There, symmetrically, the same lifts will have started operating, letting you into another room, to the north of the central one, exactly to the opposite of the wendigo-room you appeared just now (I hope I managed to describe it clearly enough...).

	After coming back with the [[Fire key]] go to any of the two Fire key doors and open it. The room it will lead to contains on one side an elevator that will take you down to the central lower room (the one you can see through the bars behind the lava pillar). Kill the monsters there and go to its southern end, where there is another wall with a flame mask. Elevators on your side will lower momentarily. Again, take either of them to get to a small labyrinth. Go through it, killing monsters as you go, until you reach the central point, where there will be a teleporter. It will take you to the other part of this small maze. There you will find some monsters and a switch to pull. Pull it. Then you can either go back through any side of the maze, where the flame mask wall will move, letting you back to the first part of the maze and eventually to the Portal to [[Hub 1: Seven Portals (map)\|Seven Portals]].

	You appear in a completely new area that is not connected to the original part of this level for now. The steel wall in front of you opens and lets you into a room with a big fire pit and a ledge going around it. Kill all the Afrits and start walking around the ledge to your left (there is a gap in the ledge on your right). Be careful as the northern wall is a trap that will push you into the pit, so run quickly past it. When you get to the other side of it, a couple of events will trigger. A bridge will rise, allowing you to access the small "island" in the middle of the pit, the lava level in the pit will rise, waking up some more Afrits and finally, the pillar in the middle of the pit will reveal a chain switch. When you pull it, a message will tell you that half of the puzzle (the one leading to the secret level, that is) is solved.

	You’ll start in a darkened room. Ahead of you is a hallway with a couple [[Ettin]]s. There are two sealed doors on the sides of the hall with the message “This path is barred”. There is also a window in the back of the darkened room, displaying an Amulet of Warding. Don’t worry about any of this for now. Continue into the northern area that opened up. The [[Fighter]] will see his second weapon ahead in harder difficulties. As you enter, the whole floor will descend, forming a staircase. There will be numerous Ettins, with more teleporting in around you. You may want to use [[Fléchette]]s to help in clearing the crowd, or hang back and use a ranged weapon. Either way, once its cleared, you can pick up Fléchettes, [[Crystal Vial]]s, and an [[Amulet of Warding]]. At the far north-end, there is a bronze bullhead switch. Pulling it activates the four pillars - they quickly raise and lower, then stay open. Three of these pillars are crusher traps. One will have an illuminated sword pointing to it - that is the correct exit to [[Hub 1: Seven Portals (map)\|Seven Portals]].		You’ll start in a darkened room.

	That is, if you want to get to the secret level. I suppose you took the first portal to this level and thus appeared in the small dark room. If not, go there. Then proceed right ahead into the small room (the one that leads to the bigger room with the four pillars). On your right and left, the originally barred doors should be opened now (you opened them with the two switches back in [[Hub 1: Seven Portals (map)\|Seven Portals]]). I recommend to go to the room on the right first, as there are Affrits there that could sneak up on you otherwise. Once you've killed them, go to the room on your right and pull the bull-head switch there. That opens the small cavity on the other side of the pit that started to spew fireballs now. Run up the stairs and jump across it. In the small room, you will find another switch, pull it. Through the small opening in the room you’re in, you can now see that a portal appeared in the corridor that goes around that cavity (in the north side of the room).

	So, having completed the [[Hub 1: Guardian of Fire\|Guardian of Fire]], you can go now through the other door that opened here (that is the western one in the room after the dark one where you appeared). This one leads into a corridor where a trap will spring as soon as you walk in, so go carefully. Beyond the trap a twist will take you to a room with a pillar in the middle. On the other side of the pillar is a bull-head switch. Pull it and dispose of the [[Centaur]]s this will have released. Beware also that poison darts will start shooting at the switch, so get out quickly. Once you leave you will notice that a portal has open in the trap corridor. It will take you to the [[Hub 1: Guardian of Steel\|Guardian of Steel]].

	You begin in front of an [[Serpent Riders' Icons\|Icon of Korax]]. As it turns fiery, he says “Greetings mortal, are you ready to die?”, the first and most memorable of his cryptic taunts. After the wall opens, you will be able to ride the elevator down to the main area. Here you’ll battle several [[Ettin]]s, and there are [[Afrit]]s in closed-off areas near the start. If you are the [[Mage]], there will also be Afrits in the open. There will be [[Crystal Vial]]s and [[Fléchette]]s available. You will see seven great doors around the perimeter, guarding the seven portals you must go through. On a pillar to the east/left, there will be a bullhead switch to pull. This opens the middle door directly ahead. Behind it, there will be more monsters, including [[Green Chaos Serpent]]s. Fléchettes can be useful for dealing with these. The triangular spire in the south behind you will descend as the door opens. In medium to low difficulties, it will have your second weapon, while in harder difficulties there will only be Quartz Flasks. With a ranged second weapon, the serpents won’t be too much trouble.

	With the puzzle solved, the central western gate will now open. Behind it is a crowd of [[Green Chaos Serpent]]s and [[Ettin]]s. Since this area leads to the second [[Hub 1: Guardian of Ice\|Guardian of Ice]] portal, you’ll see a similar entrance room, with a raised wooden platform and frozen demon statues. There are [[Fléchette]]s, [[Blue Mana]] and Quartz Flasks strewn about. Like before, go up to the [[Quartz Flask]] that appears in the window (barred this time) to open the cavern. Two staircases open at the sides, leading down to an icy area where pillar traps raise and lower as a warning. There are many dangers this time. [[Wendigo]]s throughout the cavern shoot ice. As you reach the icy ground, you’ll see several brighter patches. If you step on them, they will rise up as pillars and crush you against the ceiling. If you run over them quickly, you can trigger them and keep them safely raised, but be careful. Ahead, there will be a raised staircase - this leads up to more [[Wendigo]]s and ice crushers. Try not to get trapped behind the two ice crushers on the left. An elevator with [[Crystal Vial]]s will take you up to the portal room with Quartz Flasks. Before you proceed, there are two side-rooms to explore. Open either of the ice doors, and they both open. The room to the left/south is full of [[Wendigo]]s, but the room to the right/north rewards you with Quartz Flasks and Blue Mana.

	You’ll return by the first gate to Guardian of Ice. Across from you, the other 2 western doors will open. Stairs will rapidly rise to the central structure. You can take the stairs for [[Dragonskin Bracers]], but other than that, don’t worry about this area for now. Behind the 2 newly opened doors will be [[Afrit]]s in the north, and [[Centaur]]s in the south - corresponding to the fire and steel levels respectively. Once they’re cleared, you’ll go through a similar routine of pulling the bullhead switch, defeating the [[Green Chaos Serpent]], and entering the portal room. The chambers are symmetrical, so this is the same as earlier. You can enter whichever you choose, as long as you have the [[Hexen keys\|Fire and Steel keys]]. The southwestern [[Hub 1: Guardian of Steel\|Guardian of Steel]] portal is necessary, as it brings you to a new area.

	Now basically all the three big flights of stairs in the main area whould have risen, forming a trident pointing to the seventh, still closed gate. Go up each of them finding there a bull-head switch. When all three of them are pulled, the final gate will open. Note also that the central stairs leads you to Bracers of Dragonskin and the other two have a chain switch just opposite to the bull-head one. Pulling those two switches opens the two barred ways in the room just after the dark one in the [[Hub 1: Guardian of Ice\|Guardian of Ice]], opening ways that eventually lead to the secret level (more on that later). Anyway, now just go to the big room behind the seventh gate, kill all the monsters there and then pull the switch at the end. This opens the big green wall, letting you out into yet another area full of monsters. From this area (best after having killed all the monsters) you can access the [[Wings of Wrath]] (see Secrets, below). Anyway, after killing all the monsters, "invisible" stairs will appear, leading to the portal beyond the pitfall (you will see them as rotating small blue lights). If you are not interested in the secret level (or have already been through it), jump in right into the heart of [[Hub 2: Shadow Wood (map)\|Shadow Wood]].

	Now, the [[Hub 1: Bright Crucible\|Bright Crucible]] should be accessible. On the northern part of the central area of this level, right in front of the lift to the place you appeared in at the very beginning of this level is a square made of stone pillars (there are - or have been, if you killed them already - afrits there). These are the stones that grinded, as the message told you. That is, they moved so that now you can get past them. There, there is a small hole where the river flows to and a niche (with iron bars) where it flows from (in the northern end of this "stone circle"). In that niche, before the bars, is an invisible portal that leads to the [[Hub 1: Bright Crucible\|Bright Crucible]].		Now, the [[Hub 1: Bright Crucible\|Bright Crucible]] should be accessible.

-	~~===Walkthrough===~~
	From the start of the level, go forward through the door and into a room with a barred teleporter in the center. Be aware that there are two traps in this room. One is triggered when you go near the one of two carvings of [[Korax]]'s face in the south of the room. The walls will spin around and shoot lava balls; there are flechettes to grab on the triggers. The other trap is activated when you step onto the central platform where the teleporter is. This trap opens four chambers containing [[Ettin\|Ettins]]. There are also several alcoves with stained glass panels. Go into the western alcove and smash the northernmost glass panel there, revealing a hidden stairway. Go down the stairs and a switch will emerge to the player's left. Pull it and a series of four doors will slide open. Go up the passage into the next room; some of the walls will lower, revealing more Ettins. There is a switch next to the glass panels on the far side of the room. Pull it and a platform with the [[Emerald key\|Emerald Key]] lowers. Take the key and leave the room; note that the four doors in the stairway will begin opening and closing in succession, so it is advised to run through.

	Go back up the stairs and leave the building, heading southeast to a locked door. The ''Emerald Key'' unlocks it and you may proceed. There will be a button straight ahead. Push it and the stone door to the player's right will open. Go through that door and up the stairs to a rampart. Another button will appear. Push it and head back down the stairs and to the south through the newly opened door. There is a bell tower and a small cave; enter the cave and follow the path toward the [[Silver key\|Silver Key]]. Upon taking the ''Silver Key'', sections of the cave passage will begin gnashing against each other; watch the timing of the crushers and run through carefully. Enter the bell tower and climb to the top of the stairs, then hit the bell: it will begin ringing. Head back to the beginning of the level and enter the teleporter room. The teleporter is now unbarred; walk into it. There will be a red portal in front of the player; walk through it to enter the [[Hub 1: Seven Portals (map)\|first hub]]. There is also a passage on the right so that the player can explore the level again before leaving. Once the player enters the red portal, they cannot come back to this level.

-	~~==Trivia==~~
-	* "Winnowing" means "to eliminate that which is inferior".
-	* All of the stained glass windows in this level can be broken, and several of them conceal items. The stained glass depicts the three character classes. Some have an extra pane above them that depicts the ultimate weapon of that class.
-	* If the player is using the [[Mage]] class, they do not need to get the Silver Key in order to complete the level. At the area with the bell tower, aim at the bell through the window and shoot it with the Sapphire Wand to lower the teleporter in the other room.
-	* In the first indoor room, once the ettins are released, they can be killed by triggering the Korax heads and running outside.
-	** The player can also hide inside the small rooms that they are held in; the is a switch on the other side of the head so that they will not be trapped.
-	* The tall bushes near the clock tower can be burned down with fire-based weapons (Fighter and Mage Fléchettes, Hammer of Retribution, Firestorm and Bloodscourge). Same goes for the dead tree by the cave.
-	* Script 253 in this map makes three things (with TID 36) emit an owl song every nine-to-twenty seconds. Two of them are map spots near healthy trees in the starting courtyard (the one closest to the west wall in the passage to the stalactite-barred cave with the [[silver key]] and the one in the middle of the eastern part of the courtyard); but the third is the pottery right in front of the player start.

-	If you ~~sucessfully~~ slay all the ettins in time, a handful of powerups will spawn and steps will lower downwards towards the post in the centre, revealing a switch. This switch gives the message "''a door opened on the [[Hub 4: Forsaken Outpost\|Forsaken Outpost]]''", which is a map from [[Hub 4: Castle of Grief\|~~Hub~~ 4]]. ~~The~~ switch ~~opens~~ a door ~~making~~ the secret ~~map (~~[[Hub 4: Desolate Garden\|Desolate Garden]]~~) of that episode available~~.	+	If you successfully slay all the ettins in time, a handful of powerups will spawn and steps will lower downwards towards the post in the centre, revealing a switch.

		+	Despite the message, the switch actually solves only one half of the puzzle that makes the door open; the secret level from [[Hub 1: Seven Portals\|the previous hub]], [[Hub 1: Bright Crucible\|Bright Crucible]], has a line that needs to be crossed in order to solve the other half. Thus, if you never completed that level, the door in the Forsaken Outpost will not open and you cannot enter the secret level of the fourth hub, the [[Hub 4: Desolate Garden\|Desolate Garden]].
