RE: pits on DDD MAIN LEVEL....the two pits near the mist cannot be closed...do as the message says and ENTER THE PIT (use rope, of course) The pit that lies to the SOUTH or the inscription, "FIGHTERS CHARGE" can only be closed with the help of one of ROCK PILES (or DEMONS) on the pressure plate in front of said inscription, and this will be temporary, so move FAST....the pit that lies directly to the NORTH of the pits with the inscription, "ENTER the PIT", cannot be closed from this level. If you played DM1, then you may recall the level with "ENLARGE MY VIEW"....you'll know the spot when you come to it in this game....good luck! I've completed CSB and am looking through the last level for things I may have missed.... -- Stewart Mckinnon - via FidoNet node 1:221/171 UUCP : watmath!xenitec!zswamp!178.0!Stewart.Mckinnon Internet: Stewart.Mckinnon@p0.f178.n221.z1.fidonet.org

Well, here's some hints for some places people have been asking about lately. I'll try to make them as general as possible without frustrating people... SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! ****************************** Okay, about "The Bridge:" Try hitting the button and turning around real quick. This should give you the idea. "Prove you are a Magician:" You need to cast a spell. A spell you really only had to cast once in DM. Solving these two puzzles will lead you to a third one that had me going for a while. Remember you don't always have to be right next to a pressure plate to put things on it. Watch CAREFULLY for pits. Have your vorpal blades (I've found two) or weaken non-material beings spells ready. In general, if you can't get a door open, try casting high level fireballs at it or picking it if you are lucky enough to have a lockpick set (use a Ninja to pick locks). This seems to work on pretty much all button doors (even metal bar ones) and any door that would use either a gold or a iron key. Now, for the weird part: I'm playing the game through the second time. The first time, I had two pieces of corbum but couldn't for the life of me find the others. This time I've got the map and "cheater" characters, since I was really tired of bringing my characters up levels. Bizarre things that have happened to me this game: 1) The big dragon under the DDD WASN'T THERE. In fact, he was dead. I found a bunch of dragon steaks where he should have been. What the hell? 2) After moving down the "Dead End" on the KU path off of the DDD, the part of the tunnel that is blocked off DIDN'T DISAPPEAR. This really sucks, because I'm pretty sure it's a bug and I'm going to have to back to an earlier save. Walking up and down the path doesn't bring on more Deth Knights, like it did in my last game. 3) I'm finding a lot of stuff that I swear wasn't there the first time I played. Like, complete sections of dungeon. I dunno; maybe I better just get a complete set of maps. -Rich Lawrence, Sysop:Hallucination 703-425-5824 Amiga/Atari/Mac rlawrence@halluc.fidonet.org CI$:71101,2272 Fido: 1:109/345 -- Richard Lawrence - via FidoNet node 1:109/345 UUCP: ...!uunet!halluc!rlawrence INTERNET: rlawrence@halluc.FIDONET.ORG

RE: CHAOS HELP SPOILERS......Hmmmm - I can't for the life of me figure that first one out! Why the dragon would be dead is wierd! However, the next point regarding the second path of the KU WAY (KU CORBUM) from the DDD main level, this dead end will BE a dead end if you don't do it right! Approximately 4 seconds after the DETH KNIGHTS are teleported in behind you, the "DEAD END" will open up, but MOMENTARILY...So, just keep walking toward the blank wall after you hear the KNIGHTS 'clunking'. If you turn and fight them the wall closes up if you're too far away! This isn't a bug - it's documented in THE ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK! Thirdly, the game uses RANDOM ITEMS...so something that was on Level 7 one time, will be maybe dropped by a GIGGLER on Level 7 or something. There are QUITE a few! For example, I found LOCK PICKS on Level one (CHAOS LEVEL) the first time I played, and the second time I found them on Level 10 (Ground Zero) Anyway, its a FANTASTIC GAME, ISN'T IT?? *HAPPY ADVENTURING!!* -- Stewart Mckinnon - via FidoNet node 1:221/171 UUCP : watmath!xenitec!zswamp!178.0!Stewart.Mckinnon Internet: Stewart.Mckinnon@p0.f178.n221.z1.fidonet.org

Why the dragon would be dead is wierd! However, I think that if you fall _on top_ of the dragon you have a good chance of killing it. I used a magic box to freeze a dragon just below a trapdoor, and when my four brave adventurers (with heavy armor) fell on top of it it died instantaneously.
