Source temple doors?

[ElokoMs]

How do you open the doors in the temple? I can open the doors in front of the locked Earth and Air doors, but after that, I'dont know what to do. I could crush them with a Tenebrium weapon, but that can't be the intended solution.

I will only help you a bit:open the first door, open the second door. Go into the room with poison, find the hidden button. Go through the now open door. TP/Throw a pyramid to get to the other side of the broken bridge, destroy the door, get a new waypoint, telelport to it and after that you're on your own.

SPOILER



I have a book called 'secrets of the source temple'. It says there is a secret teleporter that would allow you to bypass the entire trial but it is the soul preserve of the high priest. I read somewhere in the game (but I cannot find it now) that from the entrance you run up the side until you find a weak section of wall that you can break for access directly into the priests sanctum.

Hope this helps. I am nearly there myself.

[Piknim]

Yeah, kinda right, but that teleporter isn't useable due to story reasons when you reach the temple.

Ok, thank you.

@Piknim - thanks. I spent a good 90 mins on this puzzle, only to read your solution and realize that I was the victim of a game breaking bug! If you destroy rather than open the door the waypoint trigger never fires and you can't progress the story. Ouch. First game breaking bug I've run into. I restored an early saved game. Thanks again.

I can imagine someone getting stuck there then. Good thing you got past it:)

So, im stuck at this Wood Door and nothing i do works there, i cant get the waypoint for teleportation

[IscariotsAngel]

I confirm this, Waypoint wouldn't trigger when I destoryed door then ported, but then triggered when I ported then opened.

There is no need to do anything here, just exploit.

Go to options, set "free view" to turn your camera 360 degrees. Go to where the empty bookshelf is and throw a pyramid on the other side. You should see the wall is transparent with 360 degree turn. Teleport.

You can then meet the wizard and skip through whatever it is. I think it's unfortunate that you need a high perception to find a switch, since it forces you to play one way.

[Balstan]

Thanks, it worked

[Indormi]

Yup, just spent 3 hours trying to advance, as I had smashed the door. I even loaded to various older save states in case there was another bug. Damn I should have founded this hours ago. Dont break the door guys!

If this puzzle doesn't involve opening a Valve or taking advantage of the radioactive decay of some element then I'm going to be sad. ;)

[Piknim]

It's a great puzzle tho, I think everyone that try to bypass it via door smashing/exploiting are missing some good brain gymnastics.
