Specific walkthroughf or Kylearan's tower
I am having a tough time getting to Kylearan in the Tower. I even found some map that isn't really clear. I have already beaten the crystal golum but needed to leave the tower to get spell replenisment. I am back by stairs. Can someone give me a clear walkthrough to get the Onyx key. thanks. NOTE: I have solved all puzzles.

Much more clear than I can come up with on my own.

Check out the maps linked in my guide:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1485090593

a) you enter at 0,0 on the grid (x, y grid coords on linked maps)

b) make your way to teleporter #2 on linked map at 0,19; this teleports you to 21,21

c) a few rooms away is teleporter #3 at 19,19, take it and it moves you to 12,11

d) move to and answer the magic mouth's riddle at lable M1 at 10,13; this teleports you on success to 8,9

e) make your way through the room of darkness to label M2, answer magic mouth riddle there; this creates a door that didn't exist previously, at location 6,1

f) from label M2, make your way through the maze/darkness and go through the door at 6,1; continue from there to to label G at 1,4 on map

g) at 1,4 you have to fight the crystal golem to proceed; spoiler: if you do not land the killing blow using a character wielding the crystal sword, the golem reanimates indefinitely

h) beware the one way doors at 0,4 that will send you back to the entrance

i) instead, make your way south through these several coordinate points (dungeon wraps around); south at 0,4, west at 0,18, through the switchbacks south to 2,21, do NOT go south at that square or enjoy eternity in statis, go WEST there and wraparound south at 0,18 and you can make your way to teleport #5 at 18,14

j) make your way north to spot marked K and after defeating Kylearan there is a teleporter in the room to the north that takes you back to entrance

Hey ‘huffadopolis’ (I didn’t use a capitol because you don’t), you’ve been a real Stalwart of these forums. Thanks for all the effort you put in. Good Job!

Question - can you still get past the crystal golem even if you don't have the crystal sword?
astrosha Oct 18, 2018 @ 2:54am 
No. Stepping into that square triggers the fight. And the only way to end the fight is to land the killing blow with the crystal sword. If you do not - even if you have someone with it equipped but they do not land the killing blow - it will continue to reanimate and attack.

Not sure about fleeing, but either it will put you on the square before or it will simply not let you flee.

it's really not.
Beat Crystal Golem, If the sword broke, head back to Harkyns and get another one.
Don't take the 1 way door that goes back to one of the entry rooms, don't follow walls, go through the centre square. If the sword broke, head back to Harkyns and get another one.
Bang. You're at Kylerean.
If you don't have Journal on playing in Legacy mode just look at a map online, or the map you've made yourself and if you're doing that, why not jsut turn journal on. Especially if you're going to ask in the forums how to do something.
If you're having difficulty with the magic mouths, one is answered in the dungeon, one is on the skara brae map. The answer from the one answered in the tower is given even by tipping a bartender to talk.

The bards tale isn't difficult or complicated. You just need to pay attention.
