Meditation Spire

Post by CakeThiefPro »

I've managed to kill the frost elemental and put all my rocks down on the pressure pads to create the walkway but I can't figure out how to progress through this area. There also appears to be some nice loot behind a gate-way. I don't have as much time as I'd like to get into this game so any quick help is appreciated.

Edit: Well I found a secret circle button but all it did was open an invisible path to a brace and potion, not the actual way forward. I guess I'll keep searching.

Well I have time tonight but I'd like to progress faster than I would if I was searching every wall for a secret lever and digging every patch of dirt :/

If you wanna find the secret items then you'll have to scan the walls... The game is still too new for people to have made complete maps with all secret button locations and so on. Take it slow and enjoy the game. Even if you just play 1-2 hours today, that means you have more hours left other days. No need to rush through it.

As for your question, if i recall correctly you need to find the key first, it's under the walkways, don't put the rocks yet and clear out the lower area until you find the key, then put rocks on all platforms, insert key in the wall, and enter the door.

The secret will be revealed if you find the secret buttons, can't recall where they were from the top of my head :P

I think I'm in about the same situation. I have the Round Key, but I can't find the lock to put it into? There's no lock next to the door near the plates.

Yeh, I can get to the higher level now but then there's no walkway and no key hole on any of the walls that I've seen.

I also could not open the door = (I crawled like everything, solve riddles with a bridge and a spider, it seems to me everything. But the door to the room with the spider is not opened. And the door to the Meditation Spire too. I spent 4 hours on the search for an answer only on this map. Someone has already solved this riddle?

Ok I solved my problem at least:

You can drop rocks/items 1 by 1 right below you to activate the path-way and the key hole is at the end of the pressure plates. I though you could only throw items :oops:

You have to go through the portcullis in the room with the skyway.

How to get through it:

The portcullis will not open if the skyway is active.
