How to do the Wyrmway puzzles easily (SPOILERS)

[Gob]

I spent ages getting through the Wyrmway puzzles below Wyrm's Rock in my first play-through but I've got it pretty slick now...

Use a Cleric character preferably and leave the rest of your party outside the challenges. If you don't have a Cleric then you can recruit the hireling cleric Zenith Feur'sel to your party for the duration of the trials. You want the spells: Remove Curse, Sanctuary, and a damage spell.

1. Chamber of Justice - Cast remove curse on the shadowy figure then move the Cell picture onto the empty plinth.

2. Chamber of Insight - Kill the left-most of the the row of red figures you see as you enter.

3. Chamber of Strategy - You're on your own with this one as there are variations.

4. Chamber of Courage - Stand next to the blue torch at the statue's feet. Cast Sanctuary on self. Pick up torch. Wait for the timer to run out.

Job done.

Either bring Gale, the Lanceboard expert who will give you the solution, or - AFAICT, this cheese remains unfixed; smash the black king with a mace, you win.

If only I could pull that off in IRL chess games.

4. Chamber of Courage - Stand next to the blue torch at the statue's feet. Cast Sanctuary on self. Pick up torch. Wait for the timer to run out.

Seems like that cheese would require you leave your 3 (or more) party members behind and just solo it, otherwise the elementals would just attack other party members. (At least every time I've tried this trial, they will attack others as well as the torch holder.)

It's a good idea, I intend to try that cheese next time.

The problem with the other two puzzles is perennial; look up the solution on the Internet (the wiki, what you just gave here, etc.); no more puzzle.

Just get Gale in the party and take him with you into the chamber, he simply tells you the solution.

Yup, I did mention leaving the rest of the party outside the challenges.

Interesting about using Gale. I'm good enough at chess that this puzzle wasn't a problem but sounds like a good plan for others.
