I wasted a lot of time on the early ones trying to figure them out but there is just no solution. There are going to be a few backtracking journeys later on to pick up some pimp armor. Yeah there are lots of puzzles that require stuff from later on, it was really confusing me. My party is level 9-10 and can't hack it. I mean 'close to beating the game'-high level. My recommendation? Only try this once your party is high level. Up there is a puzzle as brilliant as the flyswarm thing is stupid - but your only reward for solving it are the 'Hands of Life' - the gauntlets to a new set of Heavy Armor that boosts your health regeneration. These flyswarms move so fast, you can kill one swarm and be facing the next one, then watch as the instantly respawned flyswarm joins the back of the queue, all before the character that landed the killing blow can make another attack!ĪND, here's the kicker - if you actually DO manage to fight your way to the teleporter, the flyswarms will spawn ON TOP OF EACH OTHER in the teleporter, creating a super flyswarm that respawns constantly!įortunately the button can be pushed again to close the passage.Īt great expense to my party and my resources I DID manage to get past the teleporter and up the stairs.

You know when you're fighting a monster and there's another one waiting to get at you? The nano-second the first monster dies the second monster steps into the square, so a queue of monsters can easily fuck up a party. What makes this fight hard is how difficult it is to hit them, and how fast they move. The teleporter spawns these swarms of flies ENDLESSLY and RELENTLESSLY. Pushing it unleashes hell, a secret passage opens with a teleporter and stairs upward. Well, in the Desarune ruins (the level below the Archives) there's a innocent-looking secret button. Remember those swarms of flies from the swamp that moves ultra-fast and can easily kill an unwary party?
