Try without light spell or torch. Check all(!) bookshelfs, even those without the obvious large shelf.

SpoilerShow
the gate at the bottom of the stairwell, no idea how to toggle open [well close, etc]
Skuggasveinn -
SpoilerShow
have the mixed item, now what?
Diarmuid - one with nothing room,
SpoilerShow
cannot get yellow rod - seem to only be able to aim blue beam in one spot
Boyflea -
SpoilerShow
I am locked out of my own room!
Times like these... Still have some great screengrabs. looks like i need to restart game due to patches anyway.

am happy for private messages to avoid public spoilers - for me I just want to review all rooms now.
great map. :)
SpoilerShow
I cannot believe I cannot get in my own room though.
PS: funny how our minds differ: Mahric's room, aced it first time - for me a nice logical straightforward room, :)


PPS: And glad to see some-people getting confused by my room still - glad it raises a smile :)

Caution: this room can cause headaches due to required reverse-thinking.

The pressure plate in front of that gate blocks the stairwell while you stand on it (or anything else) so no going up here. Yet you can come back thru it, just make sure there is nothing on this pressure plate

Use it in case you need it. Beside that: look carefully and beware of woodpeckers.

Try each and every wall you can see/reach. Did you also try shooting thru a teleporter?

Aye, the front entrance is out of order and maintenance is on vacation. Seems it's time to look for a back door.

Boyflea's room was originally #17, and was in tier 5 along msyblade (18), mine (19) and Skuggs' (20). But then, as we ended up with only 2 rooms in the last tier, with Isaac (21) & Xanahar (24). It was unbalanced. So to balance the 2 tiers, Boyflea's room got moved to tier 6, as being the most geographically fitting with the hub layout. As at this point the central hub models were already baked and I didn't want to go through a big fuzz off to GMT - 3ds max - GMT to change where the original door was, I introduced that "broken lever" idea, as a way to surprise the player a bit.

In my room:

You can shoot straight at walls right in front of you.

This dungeon is simply stunning. Currently stuck in Ancylus' room.

How do I stop the ice dragon from blocking me in when I look around? Is there something I've missed to get rid of him?
No worries. I just didn't give it time enough.
