View Full Version : A Few More Little Puzzles...

I've put together a few puzzles for people to try out. Each puzzle requires you to solve a specific problem and leave the level that you're on. The puzzles should take less than 100 turns, though a few could be longer.

Last year's version is here (http://www.adom.de/forums/showthread.php/11803-A-Few-Little-Puzzles?highlight=puzzles) if you're looking for more. Enjoy!

Please post solutions in the other thread so as not to spoil people who haven't tried yet. I've made two so far. I'll hopefully add some more as time goes on.

Note: All of these challenges must be played on 1.1.1. I would love to make something like this for more recent prereleases, but I don't have the tools to do that. Also, the more recent versions have fixed some of the quirks in 1.1.1 that are good to exploit for this kind of thing ;)

Trial 11:

This character accidentally trapped himself in the Dwarven Mystic's room in DT. Note: Identifying your gear is part of the challenge here, so if you die, don't look at your inventory in the .flg.

you had to find out, that he was a hard, unjust and tyrannic man,

Trial 17:

I call this one 'variations on a theme'. I think this is my favourite puzzle so far.

Two notes: One, remember you need to finish within 100 turns. You can't wait around until you get some favourable corruptions. Two, if you try to pray, your god will summon greater daemons.

[edit]I've decided to patch this one after a much easier solution was found. The PC's alignment is now C instead of L in the original version. Thanks to anon123 for catching my error.

YOUR HISTORY:
Your parents were poor people. They loved you and cared for you,
although you had to hunger more than once.
During your childhood one of your uncles taught you a lot of things
about the history of your people. Your vast knowledge on the legends and
the lore of your people made you very popular with your friends because of
all the exciting stories you knew.
During your youth you had a lot of fun playing with other kids of
your age. You always were a natural leader and the center of interest.
As a young adult you spent a lot of time searching for a deeper
meaning and purpose in your life. You pondered and pondered but nothing
truly sparked your interest. Finally, after many many hours, you made a
decision.
You decided to become a Wizard.
