  • Description

    d

  • You need to disarm several traps in order to retrieve a stone axe which you can insert into a hole which will open up the next level.

  • In the room behind the portcullis you can get a some treasure simply by getting "small statue 4"

    If you push all the statues (1-6) eventually a hole will open in the column, which you can get a treasure chest (sellable) which may contain a unique circlet in it (Erebor: Golden Circlet).

    If you get bitten by one of the spiders in the previous area, or the snake in this area, you will have to cure the poison before you can continue onto the next area.

    Be VERY careful around the swinging axe

    If you are on a somewhat laggy connection, you can trigger the axe passing into the wall to move past it to be ultra-safe via:

    do trigger ^The axe flies past, and disappears todo e,trigger off

    Or for the reverse way around:

    do trigger ^The axe flies past, and disappears todo sw,trigger off

  • You should disable the first trap (not required, but very much advised).

    do n,get stones,throw stones east,e

    Kill the A group of bats (you do not need to throw the stones, however it makes this fight much easier)f you don't you will fight A colony of bats. Once the bats are dead, you will need to have a knife of some sort (the room after the ne direction in the next command is the room we disabled the trap in).

    do search large crack,wield knife,cut wire,out,n,ne,e,s,ne

    Now we need to spring another trap (this one cannot be disabled, but needs to be running in order for us not to be hit by it).

    pull veil

    That will start A swinging axe, you will need to time your next move very carefully as if not you will be hit by the axe (and will very likely die). As soon as you see The axe flies past, and disappears in a slit in a wall. perform the next command.

    2e

    do get right torch,w

    Wait for the axe again then

    do 2sw,w,n,search opening,pull wire

    If you did not find the torch then you must check the portcullis here.

    l portcullis

    If it says It would take a very strong individual to lift up this construction do not continue. If it says It is partially lifted up, allowing you to enter by crawling under it. then it is safe.

    If you found the torch, you can make the portcullis safe by doing.

    lift portcullis

    Now you need to get the stone axe in order to open the next level.

    do n,get axe,2s,ne

    Wait for the axe again, then.

    do 3e,insert axe in hole,e

    You have now opened up the third level of Thrains Tomb.
