CHAOS STRIKES BACK - Part 4 Solution by Mary Scott-Parker @~The final part, continued from last issue FROM THE DDD TO THE CORBUMS ROS PATH TO CORBUM Open door with Emerald key. When you turn the corner there is a ZOOOOM corridor - hit the forward arrow to get to the door beyond. Proceed to the 1st pit room, avoid pits and climb stairs. From top of stairs - Ex3 Sx3 W, climb down pit to South - S W Sx3 E E Sx6 Wx4 N W [to pillar] E S Ex4 Nx6 Wx2 Nx3 E [to stairs] climb stairs, Wx3 N - climb down pit to West - W S W, climb stairs - N N E E Sx3 - drop down pit to East - S, climb stairs - E E E Sx4 W to pit room. Sx4, Face West wall - W [through wall Press button to South - [pit now opening and closing] - Stand in front of opening pit and nip across to illusionary pillar [Wx2] Face North [opening and closing pit] Step quickly over pit while closed and then W [pit in front of Corbum tower is false pit] Grab Corbum and return to DDD - From Ra door [this will now open but ignore it for now] - N W Nx3 W N - climb down pit to West - W S W - down stairs - N N E E - climb down pit to North - W N Wx5 Nx2 Wx4 and back to Zoooom. NETA PATH TO CORBUM Go down stairs to Skeleton room and freeze a skeleton in front of the portcullis door [the shape of the doorway changes, making it harder to trap them without freezing them] then press the loose brick and teleport it behind the door as before. Kill the skeleton with knives etc. and when the door is open use the Turquoise key to open the next door. Climb the stairs - place an item on the pressure plate to close the pit and climb the next stairs. A blue gem in the hole in the wall will open an Altar of Vi - don't read the sign - it says something like "Corridor of Fire" - as it will activate a fireball. Proceed quickly along the corridor - about halfway along there is a fireball activator which cannot be avoided - so at the end of the corridor, just before the blue mists, step Sx2 [through wall] to avoid the fireballs which will be deflected all round the room by the blue mists. Don't go down the stairs - return to the mist room - Nx2 Wx3 [should now be in front of blue mist and small floor stud] Step W on the stud and after 2 seconds the wall to the West will open. Step into the alcove. Make sure the party is 100% fit and activate a fireshield. The button in the S wall of the alcove will close the invisible pit ahead for a split second. Face South, press button and quickly side-step L Fx2 L F L into alcove to avoid the next fireball. From the alcove W Sx6 [towards the fireballs] W [through wall] S, Face E and press button to turn off fireballs. Head back North along the corridor and take passage E. Go through false wall at the end to the pit room. Step on pressure plate to North of room to close pit next to Corbum and time a run across - leaving anything heavy behind to lighten the load. Once you have the Corbum Wx3 Nx2 W N to a passage which has opened in the corridor leading back to the DDD. KU PATH TO CORBUM Climb down the pit signed "Trust me, enter the pit" to find the Ku path. Stepping on the pressure plate below the pit opens the wall behind - ignore it and proceed to the stairs. Climb stairs and kill the Stone Golem round the corner. Open door with Solid key. Proceed to "Dead End". 5 steps along the corridor 4 Chaos Knights will be activated behind the party and the corridor ends at 8 steps. Turn to fight and keep hitting the backwards arrow because at some point the wall behind will give way and you can proceed down a very long corridor. Some way along, the party is teleported to a similar location [drop objects to check] and 2 steps from the next dead end is a button on the right hand wall which opens stairs leading to Dragon Den. The dragon cages are all inter-connected via false walls inside and if you stand in front of their doors they will blast through with fireballs. When one dragon door opens, the door into the corridor closes [it needs a square key] but can also be blasted. Stand outside the door in the corridor and blast open the dragon door opposite. The dragon will be released and the portcullis door will close. The dragon will blast it open again but at least you can retreat to the stairs and deal with the dragons one by one. Show the Power Towers to the eye sensor - they are in one of the chests in a den - then turn right [if you have the skeleton key, left if not] into the newly opened corridor and up 2 flights of stairs into the pit room. Lighten the load - make sure party members are 100% fit and stand on the pressure plate to close the pit in front of the Corbum. Run quickly over the closed pit and grab the Corbum. DAIN PATH TO THE CORBUM Open door with Ruby key and go up stairs. Ignore items in alcove as taking them all opens a pit with a very looooong drop. Proceed past stairs to keyhole. Use Iron key or press button in wall opposite door. Enter room - [from in front of 1st pit] - E E [through wall] Face S and press button - [one pit now opens and closes] - the pit to the right of the opening and closing pit is a false pit - test by dropping an item on it. You will now be able to nip across the pit when closed and take the Corbum - [the pit in front of the Corbum tower is also a false pit] THE FUL YA PIT Activate a fireshield and climb the stairs beyond the now-open Dain path Ra door. Turn left - from Demon's face - step quickly F.R.F.R into an alcove - press the button and return to the stairs. Pass the two closed Ra doors and the closed exit door at the end of the corridor will have opened. From door, proceed South to the semi-invisible pit, then step E and South and go down the stairs - turn left, head West and open the door with the Skeleton key. There are two Stone Golems in this room, just avoid them if possible as they regenerate. Now that the exit door is open, use this as an escape route. Go back up the stairs and follow the right hand wall to the next Skeleton keyhole, which opens a wall to the East. Go through the newly opened gap and South and West to the Black keyhole. This requires the Master key, which is carried by a Demon. From the door go W to the wall - S S W W North to button door - inside is the Ful Ya pit. Enter, close the door and throw the four corbums into the pit. - o -
