lvl 7 - hall of fire pit

Post by carpii »

Ive just about completed level 7, but just before entering the Hall of Fire there is a pit, (with a sign saying Mages Entrance).

Opposite this pit is a pressure pad, and I decided to throw a few things over onto the pressure pad to see if it did anything
in my infinite wisdom I didn't throw rocks though. I threw valuable empty potion bottles and even 2 good weapons.

I cant find anyway to get across the pit to pick up my goodies again
Are they now lost? The only way it could be worse is if Id thrown a key over there

You need to shoot a fireball across or use the fire sword in the gate you are standing next to

Thanks, I got my precious vials and cutlass back :-)

I really should have figured out that Mages Entrance meant cast a spell at the gargoyle. But I thought that sign was referring to the iron gate next to it. Silly me :D

If you've used up the charges in your sword, you'll need either the skill for Firebolt or another sword

Ok managed to get around the problem.

I had no firebolts left in the Fireblade
And was a long way from getting the Firebolt Skill.
So loaded an earlier game and in the Treasure Store
I used the 1 gold key i had on the cell with the Tome of Fire
Used it and it upped my Fire skills to be able to cast a firebolt
