Re: Do you ever find another shovel?

Not trying to be sarcastic here, but whats the point of having a compass equipped? I personally use shovel + rope. Aha! Never did it... but you know, when I was thinking over — just how would I play "oldschooly", without a map? The most reasonable way to always conveniently know your orie...

Re: Secret in the Test Chamber

Pretty easy, actually. You can open a wall not that far from the button where the timed light bridge puzzle with portals is. Just look for a lever a floor below. Then... the light bridge only comes into existence when you press the button, but if you did the puzzle, it gives you more than enough tim...

Re: Stuck in Twigroot dungeon

I am pretty sure there was a sign just beside the door that reads "There is no turning back". Meaning, no, you can only go deeper into the dungeon and exit the tunnels on the other side. Not that far in, actually.

Re: Can't Open Balance Shine...

I've searched all around and can't find a solution/answer to my problem. ANYONE can cast spells. But only a Wizard can do it with bare hands. So you need just ANY piece of wizardy-equipment like a staff or a magic sphere that lets you cats speels on right-click. Not that hard to get hands on if you...

Re: What is this head hinting at?

Just elaborates on the story. You see, there is a reason the island is filled with monsters and traps, and whoever created it, is more interested in those who are up to the challenge than those who aren't. Also maybe hints at the games's two endings and maybe not. Don't think into it too much: it is...

Of course. The only important difference for a mage is that such character can cast spells with bare hands (everyone else needs a piece of equipment). Just cheked, my fighter can cast the rune.

Re: Basahn of Xafi puzzle in cemetery

As far as I know, each button just moves ... just moves its associated "closed" pit clockwise. Imagine there is a smiley :D hanging over the tiles: if there is a smiley :D over the pit, the pit is closed. Now, each button has its own :D, and moves it one tile clockwise . Maybe I got tghe w...

Crystal mines, Fearless area

There is the secret inside the area on the first floor that is marked by "Only the Fearless May Pass" sign. Now, as you get inside the long corridor and do all the important stuff, it is incredibly easy to spot there are small inaccessible offshoots to the left and to the right (they are m...
