Level 9 - The Cavern - Can not get the key

Post by Barazanthul »

Hi guys,

i am stuck in level 9 in the part of the level called 'The Cavern'. I killed all ogres and blobs and whatever the others are called. At the end of this part of the dungeon, there is an alcove with the key in there. But the ground before the alcoven is an opened trap door. If you are looking at the alcoven, there are 5 switches to your left side. I cannot figure out how to close the trapdoor. Any suggestions?

25 - Lever Puzzle & Ornate Key

As the note at (24) suggests, the pillars and levers here are the key to getting the Ornate Key here. Effectively, the switches need to be flipped in accordance with the pillars nearby... a close pillar means up, a far one means down. The correct order, from left to right, is: down, down, up, down, up. Flipping them in this order will raise a platform and allow you to retrieve the Ornate Key. Note that taking it will spawn a few Goromorgs, so get ready for a fight! When you're finished, return to the door at (19).
