Snare of shadows? Mangar's tower blood room

[Xron]

Am stuck on this in the ringing the bells room. Anyone have hints that can get me moving again?

[Xron]

Did a google search and came up empty, bumping this

Seriously, im stuck here as well, if you match the shown symbols on the right (red) side you get a little tone but thats all i got; i assume its something similar for the other but i have no idea what, about to just try every combination even though since there are 7 symbols and 4 slots it is gonna be a lot to try

[Xron]

Not quite sure, have tried a lot of different stuff, used teleporter to go back out and look around again, but putting game on pause for now until I can get past this 8P

On the front and back of the bell skulls you can see the order of the symbols for both the left and right sides of the room.

From memory the red sides order is on the front of the bell skulls and the blue sides order is on the back. Once you match them all a lever will raise in the centre pool part of the room.

Pull the lever and the skulls on the swords raise to certain points of the swords, now you ring the bells in accordance with the height points of the sword skulls, highest skull meaning highest bell.

Gah! Thank you Risk! Did not look at the back of the skulls!!!

YES FINALLY! if you head back through the stairs tunnel, the spears will come out of the walls and youll see an eye at the top, after that going back down will be different

Is there any reward for this quest? Supposed to be a weapon of some kind but after killing the boss I got 500 xp and no loot?

Having the same problem here. After defeating the boss the quest completes, but there's no further dialogue, no item drops, nothing... even though the entire reason I went into the tower is to find the shadow snare, which is now nowhere to be found without any explanation.

[Hesmah]

Same here

[Cormy]

Incase anyone like me still took a while with Risk's instructions

If the skulls correspond to 12345 in order from left to right:

1 3 2 4 5 2 4 3 4 5

Holy sheet, thanks for that!

I've tried this fight (8 waves) a few times so far. First time I had my first CTD. Next time I'm slaughtering, even clearing a few waves in a single turn.. and suddenly I apparently have a wave of invisible ones, and they get stuck with one action point left...

Is this doable? I'm assuming at least Grodel finished this quest. Also, should it be killable (despite the higher combat rating on the creatures) if you're able to complete the whole rest of the tower?

I managed to do it by stalling occasionally, and using a lot of conjurer's marks for aoe damage, they were very red to me but after learning they should be fought, I tried anyway and won. No crashes.
