[comp.sys.amiga.games] DM help - The Vault Room

choy_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Stephen Choy) (04/15/91)

Hi Netters,
    I have gotten to the point in the game where there are a lot of different
doors to choose from in the 3rd??? level.  Anyway, as I finish killing all the
monsters in the vault room and look around, I notice that there is a button
in the middle of the wall.  I try pushing it, but nothing happens.  Does the
button have any significance?  
    I also want to know how I may get through the hidden door in the Time of
Essense room.  The hidden door closes on me everytime I push the "Hit and Run"
button and rushes to the door.  Is there something I can use to hold the button
down, while I rush to the hidden door?
    Finally, how may I pass through the Matrix room?  Is there anything 
important in there?  Where is the third yellow key to open the gate in the 
other end of the hall?
    Any information about the rest of the doors, the Gem room and the Gaurdian
room, is appreciated.
                 Thanks!!!
                                             Stephen

     If it has, I haven't found it yet.  I've just gotten out of that level
and I'm not the next now.

     You don't need to hold the button down.  It's four steps away from the
hole which opens so do this.  Face the button, press it and run BACKWARDS 
for 4 spaces and left.  This'll get you through the door.  Be quick though
as "Time is of the Essence".

     From what I recall now (without maps) there is a key in every chamber.
Take the compass, hold it in the hand of a party member and you can map it
out.  Watch the compass.

     There is only one puzzle in the Guardian room and it is pretty easy.  All
I can say is push the buttons and look at reflections with your Mirror of Dawn.
Some things have a very revealing reflection.

If you're still having trouble, here's one important clue:
The more you carry, the slower you run.
