[MOD] - The Sunset Gate - RELEASED

[AmiDARK]

Ok.

Thank you for your answer

[Dr.Disaster]

After some UnEpic offtime from LoG i just got into this very nice story-diven mod. It's similarities to EoB are obvious, yet it's superior in one point: the characters are swapable at any time which is really cool

Actually i had a bit of a rough start with this mod due to that map marker bug thing but after Xan gave me that hint and i moved the map markers away from critical spots all went well again. Completed it in two sessions with the first being really looong (yeah, one more sleepness night) which by itself says this mos is great!

Right now i'm on my second playthru, this time with a wild mage plus char juggling involved and i must ask: how long did it take you to think up all those wild surge things?!? This alone(!) is worth re-playing this mod if looking for all secrets seems not enough of a reason. Can't wait to get my hands on more stuff like the Mark Knoffer .. oh btw: any chance to stack those anvils

SpoilerShow

The only thing i don't get: tons of toilets for duty but no fountains to wash your hands?

EDIT:
Heh i just discovered by chance how to exploit the wild surge "empty hands". Anything in your hands is dropped to the floor including what you got on your cursor. Right now i'm walking thru the dig collecting the orichalcums and to do this efficiently without walking back and forth tons of times i carry a wooden box on my cursor. Guess what happend when that wild surge kicked in: instead of 1 box with 2 orichalcum in it i now have 4(!) boxes with 2 orichalcum inside the original box plus 8(!) additional orichalcum on the floor!

Maybe someone can help ....

I've made good progress, killed all monsters in the 4 floors but ... I cannot find the alien figure. Maybe someone can help ?

Did you ever drop a rock down a hole to check how deep it is?

[Xanathar]

Alien figure -> Not mandatory at all to finish the game - it's a "super secret". There are four of them and each hides a relic.

Here's a guide to the four relics. All involve level 5 (the dreaded one eheh) and all except one of them involves another level too.

Purpose:

SpoilerShow

Put any 3 of them in the reliquary for a reward. As I said, optional.

Orb:

SpoilerShow

Orb - found by beating the death pit. Either fall from above, or - a lot better - get the key, lost somewhere on the ground at level 5.

Deity figure:

SpoilerShow

Found by solving the very hard puzzle at level 4 with 3 levers and 1 button, solution is DUD - DDD - UDD - DUU (D = down, U = up). Solution can be deduced from a note with four numbers at level 5 and translating them to binary (very hard) or by brute forcing the sound feedback.

Goromorg:

SpoilerShow

Dropping an item from level 4 on the "timed mechanism plate" of level 5 (the plate must be clean of items, won't work if you put an item on it at level 5).

Dragon:

SpoilerShow

Solving a secret in east area of level 5 where there is a plate and 3 teleporters - you have to time the throwing of an item so that it falls in the middle teleporter (timing puzzle).

Just noticed something:
After completing the 2nd playthru of the Sunset Gate on hard i did play the Missing Heir, also on hard. Now there i noticed that the monsters were really set to hard mode and delivered accordingly while for the Sunset Gate i could not make out a difference between normal and hard mode. So i wonder if the monsters got really set to hard mode. My save game slots state the mod was set to hard, just to prevent confusion.

Answers to questions:

Quick spoilering walkthrough to the machine:

SpoilerShow

1) Get 10 pieces of orichalcum on level 4. There are 13 of them so don't worry
2) Put them in the orichalcum alcove (on the opposite side of the control panel).
3) Press reset, Fire rune, Activate (or whatever it's called).
4) Wait 2-3 minutes until.. you get when. Make yourself a coffee or use this time to explore more secrets.
5) Go back to the control panel. Dial "spirituality" and there you go.
6) Enter the gate.
7) Good luck

I did exactly what you said :

SpoilerShow

1. I put the 13 raw orichalcum in the alcove.
2. Reset, use the rune on bottom right, Activate.
3. Waited for the sequence ending.
4. If I check I have 13 refined orichalcum.
5. Go back to the control and dial the left, 2nd line rune (leaving the refined orichalcum in the alcove)
6. The machine is "inverted"
7. There are fire in the other room so if I enter I die .. (I tried and all my character died

I Don't really understand ...

SpoilerShow

You sure meant 10, not 13. The machine will only invert when it's fueled by 10 enriched orichalcum, no more, no less.

Now: which "other room" exactly do you enter?
Hopefully not the orichalcum chamber because that means certain death with the machine running.

Hello.

I have started playing this awesome mod. I have noticed that it lags too much on my PC. Any ideas to improve fps?

[AmiDARK]

Dr Disaster :

SpoilerShow

I didn't find any other room in the machine than :
1. The control panel
2. Maintenance room (with alcove)
3. The orichalcum room (with alcove)
3. The anti-chamber before the orichalcum room.

I also tried with only 10 of these ... Same result.
