with all your might to the east
and to the north

can somebody make maybee an screenshot of the place and does it have to be an rock?
were is this place in that room under the pit?


and im stuck at "pillared hallway" aswell

how to cross the first two teleporters?

Its a long time since I played the game.

1st pillard hallway: I assume its the long hallway in the southeast of that level. You need a scroll that tells you how to traverse it.

2nd about that torch puzzle.just go into the pit, put the 3 torches in the torch holders and you seel which map tile is still dark. stand there and toss the 2 stones via the right click on the hand

[Magic_Jaxxon]

does it have to be stones?

[thrive]

I think yes

[Circenn]

Just watch a youtube video to help you. Zemalf did a whole playthrough of this game. Have fun!

what for forums exist then. i always ask the community first.

I guess the game is just too old to find someone who just played it through. A youtube walkthrough may be the best for you.

That's simple.
Place some torches in the empty torch holders in that room. Look where the shadows caused cross, then stand there and attack-throw (not mouse-throw) one rock to the east and one to the north.

For sure you recall that scroll found earlier with the strange direction instructions. Start at the wall message and use it here.

thx for the detailed infos

It doesn't have to be rocks. I just did it with throwing stars.

If your graphics quality is low, you will have to turn it up to High for this puzzle. Even once you do so, it might not be obvious what space to stand on. I had to look at a walkthrough.

Also important to note that there is a difference between throwing and shooting. I would suggest shooting whatever it is you use. It won't go far enough otherwise.

Wow this thread is 2 years old. lol I feel silly.

^ Yeah, I thought this puzzle was kind of BS since every other time you need to throw a rock, like to activate a pressure plate, you can just select it from your inventory and move the cursor to the top of the screen and click to throw it. I did that for about 30 minutes on every square possible and nothing worked. So I came here and read you have to EQUIP the rock to "throw" it. First time in the game I had to do that so I never would've guessed :/

If you have a character who specializes in throwing weapons as part of your party then the game has been conditioning this mechanic into your routine from the moment you picked up your first rock.

[Catratio]

I guess. I went with the default party the game makes for you but opted for using bows/crossbows on my rogue instead of throwing weapons so by level 9 it was still a new concept to me since anytime I had to throw a rock before I just clicked the screen, not what the character was holding. I guess it does make a difference by throwing it one square further, since I needed to do it again at the end just before you get that ultimate weapon.

Two points I just want to emphasize having struggled with the "rock throwing" puzzle for a bit. 1. You need to equip the rock as a weapon and activate it as a weapon (by right clicking). Just tossing it out of your inventory won't work. 2. You can do it with any throwing weapon, it doesn't have to be rocks. I did it with axes.
