Thoughts on Gargoyle Maze - SPOILERS

[CharlieB81]

I do not know if I did the Gargoyle Maze correctly...if there is a correct way at all. At first I tried to get through it, through the maze but wasn't getting anything worth while. I even put out the burning Historian and didn't get anything for my troubles. When I went through the portal I picked up some trinkets off a skeleton, and maybe a book off the ledge but nothing really compelling. I figured the main objectives was to get inside the castle behind the maze.

So I went in the first area, got the skull then left and looped around back (using telport to bring both characters) and climbed the vines. Low and behold I didn't need any skulls to get inside the castle. Also, if you do want to try the maze, because maybe there is more to it, there is an additional skull in a skeleton on the back corner of the castle you can get to before going into the maze.

Now once inside the castle I got some good gear from the water well, in the sewage room, and the backroom that Withermoore let me into to (behind source barrier). Besides gear I feel like I'm missing something.

Anyone know what those levers do? I know on the way out of the sewage room the trap fire is out, but besides that....I didn't notice a difference. There is also that tattered map which illudes to the Souljar room which is in the cave below the castle, maybe something opens up there?

Oh, and now I have to unused skulls for those doors- never need them.

People ignoring the maze because they have Braccus's ring to get thru the gargoyles are missing out on a decent level 7 dagger, blank fire skillbook, electrical arrow, and gold off the little alcove that has the dwarf corpse in the Realm of Fire inside the portals in the NW corner.

Yeah I snagged that before I found the alternate route (sneaking around). But I feel like there is more. I've already left the Island but on my second play through, I think those levers open up something in the cave below the castle. The one you go to for a different quest.

im not getting a dagger choice as a reward, its a ring helm boots and gloves, no amount of savescumming is making a dagger show either, did they remove it?

Not a quest reward. It's another area you find by going through the portals.

I think the maze was done poorly...
One of the most awkward things in the game.

You can visit most of the worthwhile rooms with good use of Teleport and still complete the maze legitimately and get the reward.
