I need help on level 6(?) of DM (the first floor where you encounter those
big floating round monsters with the big eyeball). I'm trying to get a key
that is in a room behind a gate. I need the key to open the second of two
doors at the other end of the hallway. I can't figure out how to keep the
gate open so that I can get the key. The room has three pressure pads on the
floor, a pit, a green button on the wall, and a lever which turns a block of
blue (teleportation) haze on and off. The room looks like this:
__ [] - Pressure pad
__ | k| <> - Pit
|[]B__|==| == - Gate
|<> ## L ## - Blue haze
|[] [] | B - location of green button
| +-----+ L - location of lever
|--| k - location of key that I need.
| |
No matter what combination of movements, lever settings, etc. I try, I can't
seem to stop the gate from closing when I walk on the bottom-center pressure
pad (and I can't see anyway of getting around walking on it). I need the
key for the second of two doors at the other end of the hallway (I already
had a key for the first door).
Thanks for any help.

I could, also, do with some help on this level if at all possible. There are three trouble spots for me. If I can sort out one of them out, the others may sort them selves out. 1) How do you get passed the 'Test Your Strength' message. 2) The gate that is just alittle further on but has no apparent key hole or switch. and 3) The key to the double doors just after the gate in 2. If you can help with anyone of these three I would be greatful. I have actually made it down to the level that needs the (ir?) key to enter, but can't find the key so I hope the answers to the above will help.

What you do is you is place an object into the blue haze. ~ CrisP. -- ------------------------------------------------- crisp@uk.ac.warwick.cs | estdwha@uk.ac.warwick.cu -------------------------------------------------

The solution is easy though.... 1. Go and face the lever and operate it. The teleport will switch off. 2. Turn round 180 degs. Go one pace (only !) forwards. 3. Put (say) a club on the ground 4. Turn around and operate the lever, the gate will open. 5. Fetch the key. 6. walk into the teleport 7. recover item left on ground (club) 8. push green button 9 walk out of room shutting door behind you (always a good idea) Hey Presto ! I'm quite pleased to have answered a DM1 query for once instead of asking questions all the time ! You wait 'til you get to level 8. AS a tip get your preist levels up for level 8 as your gonna need them. Just do a few spells with no things around to bother you before you descend to the first really tricky level. And to think I got stuck in level 3 ! DM has to be one of the best games around. John Upham, (Chemical Physics Ph.D) University of Sussex, Brighton, UK.

Wrong ... Hit 'n' now to skip spoiler ... You have to stand facing the lever. Switch the lever off and move backwards with the back arrow key and you can hit the teleport field before it shuts off. You can then get to the key. -- ______________________________________________ | &y Burnett | burnett@mentor.cc.purdue.edu| ----------------------------------------------

Turn around and *set* any object down in the haze. Don't throw it. It'll disappear and the door will come open. You can go through the field and pick up what you sat down. If you throw your object it'll just come flying out the other side. Setting it down will make it stay on the pressure pad in the NW corner. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | seven@ucscb.ucsc.edu | "Here's a stinking sig for you!" | | Saint Echo | "When the going gets wierd, the wierd turn pro." | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get it throw something light. I put a throwing star in the right hand and chucked that. This operates a pad and opens a gate which one accessef from the other side. At the end of the corridor is abutton which opens a door allowing you back to get the bow, gem, coin from the first room. > 2) The gate that is just alittle further on but has no apparent > key hole or switch See above. > > and 3) The key to the double doors just after the gate in 2.

The next ra key is in level 9 with the bastard rats in it. You should be able to do 6 level fireballs by now. I have one double master wizard at level 9.

I just remembered something about these two questions: > I could, also, do with some help on this level if at all possible. > There are three trouble spots for me. If I can sort out one of them out, the > others may sort them selves out. > > 1) How do you get passed the 'Test Your Strength' message. You don't. I mean, you can, but don't bother. See below. > 2) The gate that is just alittle further on but has no apparent > key hole or switch (My son taught me this one) Face the gate. With the crossbow, shoot a Slayer (big green arrow) through the gate. Quickly jump to one side, because the arrow will go through an invisible teleporter and materialize behind you. If you don't jump out of the way, you'll end up shooting yourself in the back. If you want, you can turn and watch the arrow sail past a few times. The slayer will finally come to rest on a pad two steps behind the door, and the door will open. The stuff down the passageway is good, but not essential. If I remember correctly, there's a side passage at the pad. If you take a step or two down the side passage, you will find yourself zapped down the passage to the "Test Your Strength" sign. -- Ray rrd@hpfitst1.hp.com
