A Level 10 secret

Post by Shrugn »

SpoilerShow
Actually more of a level 9 "pit secret".

After defeating the foes in the outer sanctum room and proceeding through the portals in the correct order, you're warped to a small room where you stand on a pressure plate, with 2 pits in front of you and two gargoyles head on your sides ( they spit a poison cloud if you go near them ).
Falling into the first pit leads you to a room which seems to contain an enigma to solve :
"stand where the shadows of the
torches cross, and toss a rock
with all your might to the East
and to the North"
There are 3 places you can put a torch on, but I don't get it. Well I can't seem to find where I'm supposed to stand. Best place I found is along the north wall, which seem to contradict the "toss a rock to the north" part. Also, I guess I should toss the rock with a character attack, not by dragging it on the screen...

Any idea?

Only two torches are actually needed for this riddle. Light up all 3 and look where two shadows cross. That's your spot ;) Also notice, that the riddle says "throw as hard as you can"

Neith - take off your own source of light (torch / cast darkness) makes it much easier to see where the lights cross

I'm curious as well if it has to be a rock, since I tried with shurikens and food and nothing happens.

I wasn't able to throw the rocks far enough. I actually used the throwing hatchets and they worked just fine.
