[SPOILER] Orul's Crypt of spiky pain

[dLx]

I'm in a VERY large room with non-stop spikitude everywhere, what do I do? The note for the riddle says.


Dear Visitor,

What can never be observed, but its presence prevents everything from being seen?

Answer me this and you shall be guided to the other side.

Any tips?

1st tip
Look at the ceiling

2nd tip
You have two spells which help you with something while dungeon diving. One of them isn't that much of use most of the time



DANGER SOLUTION:
The solution is darkness. You have to extinguish all the lights and you'll see a pattern of light on the spikes that'll stay down.

I'm pretty stuck here as well - got the basics down, been there and back, but seem to be missing a secret here.

On the north wall there is a grating on the upper level wall (also visible on the map). On the wall below is a hidden switch. Pressing it created the typical rumbling sound, but I couldn't find the source anywhere. Any hints?

[Harest]

Another working solution (the improvised one), at least for me : Courage o/. The ladder at the end is at the east, so just run along the wall and it should be ok. You'll take 2 hits, all my team survived.

I directly thought about darkness, but the spell did nothing. Sure, there's torches too on the walls :x *dumbass*. I thought too i could learn a pattern somehow but it's apparently random.
Edit : Woow, okay well i prefer my first solution : run ! The pattern seems never-ending.

You don't even need to use the Darkness spell (in fact, you can even leave the Light spell up). You just need to get rid of the torches.

Hasn't anyone solved the hidden button in the spike field? Still can't find anything it opens...:(

[Puzzlemint]

It opens an area due north of the button. You get there from the far end of the spike pit, where you picked up the skull key.
