Eye of the Beholder 2 - hints The Nine Pressure Plates ------------------------ Found on the fourth level beneath Darkmoon. In order to open the door, you must weigh down the correct plates. The easiest way to do this is, as suggested in the review in Issue 17, to put something on ALL the plates and gradually remove objects. The final design you need is to hold down five plates, using any items eg rocks, in an x pattern. The door will open when you're not standing on one of the other plates. Stepping on and off the plate will allow you to open and shut the door, thus controlling the flow of nasties coming from behind it. The Stone Mouths: ---------------- Found in a corridor on Level 4 of the Silver Tower. Each asks a riddle and must be 'fed' with the correct object. Once they have all been fed, the west door will open. 1. When mouth says 'hidden glow', you need the Mantis Idol. 2. When mouth says 'born of greed', you need five rocks. (The hint for this is found at a triangular niche nearby where you're told 'greed will be your undoing'. Putting a small item in the niche will turn it into a rock.) 3. When mouth says 'one's refuse', you need a packet of rotten rations. 4. When mouth says 'tiny and red, nature's bounty', you need a red gem. This is behind the door in the southwest corner. This door will open when the mouth to the north has been fed. 5. When mouth says 'have blade', you need the cursed sword, 'hunger'. 6. When mouth says 'have parched', you need any scroll or map. 7. When mouth says 'parched liquid', you need any potion. 8. If a mouth says 'when we have feasted', step aside to avoid a fireball and to get rotten rations.
