Ran around for quite a while without seeing a monster so I thought they wouldn't respawn, that's why I didn't think about trapping one. But I'm still stuck anyway.

-> Already? This area is one of the first being reachable right after the start. Obviously you did the Gladiator Challenge and the Gauntlet, otherwise you won't have an ornate key yet. Since you can't go up anywhere perhaps exploring further down will help?

I have now three keys (ornate, golden and brass) and a blue gem, but no doors or demon heads to use them on. It's been a while since I started playing the mod, but the only lock I could find was in the corridor with all the trapped skeletons one level below, which apparently requires a gear key.

-> The demon head for the gems shows up on level 3.
-> Ornate keys are required at the top of the pyramid. Save them for later.
-> Brass keys unlock something in lower catacombs and then it will be pretty obvious what gold keys are for.
-> The Undead Army Reserve is released with a prison key and the usual greed for experience once let me use the only key

Still don't know what the third plate does either, I trapped a scavenger inside the room and ran around everywhere on that level without finding anything. Trapped a scavenger in both rooms and apart from blob and lighting madness nothing happened.

-> The room with the single plate only triggers lightning to add some ouch! into the blob's path.
-> A scavenger in the room with 2 plates is enough. That way you got the blob traveling from south to north into it's receptor triggering the pit and a lightning bolt traveling from west to east hitting .. a wall?

Then everything you can do there now is done.

Phitt wrote:I understand that the wall getting hit by the lighting bolt is a secret wall, but again, no clue how to open it. The blob receptor does nothing, the lightning spells do nothing, I tried with torches in the holder(s) and without, I looked for secret buttons.

ElfBane wrote:... on L6 (lower catacombs) I've found 4 stairways. There is one stairway in the upper middle of the map that is protected by 2 locked portcullii. I've found one key, but still need to find another key (brass key, I think). I need help finding a second brass key, any help appreciated. Outright SPOILERS are welcome, in order to save time.

ElfBane wrote:Which stairs do you consider the "4th stairs"?? There are 4,,, lower left, middle left, upper middle (need key), and lower right. I've been up all of those stairs that I have access too. Thanx.

ElfBane wrote:Now at L4 (pyramid base). You arrive in the NW area... the door to the S, I have no key for. I continue on around,,, make it thru the "poison bolt" halls to the stairs up to L3 (ascent). Every switch/button I could find do not lead to a brass key. What do I do now?
