Puzzle Hints, Help & Solutions Thread

[SpasMaster]

Over the years I've gotten hundreds of questions that ask about hints, help or solutions to certain puzzles.

I am now going to create this thread where anyone can participate to either ask or answer to people's questions for puzzles in Sunken City. That way we can have a dedicated thread where all anyone is going to talk about is puzzles and how to solve them. As usual, giving hints is preferred over giving straight-up solutions.

Answered Questions:

• How to open the first gate at the Southern Entrance?
• What is the Key of Life for?
• How do I talk to the Mysterious Wanderer?
• What are the locations of the 3 Rubies?
• Hints for the Titanforged Hammer (Legendary Quest) #1
• Where can I find the Corrupted Essence?
• How to open the Master's Chamber?
• How to enter the cave at the Spider Queen chamber?
• How to acquire the Spiritrealm Cloak?
• The Crucifix of Moonlight useage
• How to pass through the Elemental Fire?
• How do Tokens drop?
• How do acquire the Skeletal Key?

Hi,

im stuck in front of the first gate (south entrance)
After finding the peon in the jungle on the east side of camp, and not being able to enter the dungeon on the west side (lvl 14 required), i think im supposed to enter the south gate.

Hint: an eerie feeling fills you as you approach the entrance which appears to be centuries old.

Me: wuttt?!?

In the nearby forest there is an already pressed switch. Your inspect ability can be used on certain objects in the environment, including that switch.

Hello guy. I have dropped this map for a while. Today, while killing a random creep, I got a red key, what is that key for?

 

[SpasMaster]

It's for the Master's Chamber.

 

[Toe of destruction]

It's for the Master's Chamber.

Okay, thank you very much. Trying to solo without using DK here xD

So im stuck, lvl 7. Have enterd "the vault", gotten the thing to be able to talk to ghosts. have killed gentulon, cevius and gasret. have no idea where to go?
where is the twin corridor key?
have found 4 runes on the ground but dont know what to do with them?
looking for someone called azune.
inside the vault there is some kind of tree that is suppose to be heald? and a quest giver i cant reach.

 

[Senneria]

Did you kill the council to the right of the runes? They should drop explosives you need to get past the door after Gentulon.
If you used the explosives from the council in the Vault you need to find a key on a table close to Harris and use that to unlock a different rolling stone door, inside is another set of explosives.

Close to the 4 runes on the ground you found, there are 3 bosses that you have to fight altogether (Deathlord, Maiden of Pain and Warlord Bul'thos). Warlord Bul'thos drops an Explosive which can be used at the Massive Ruined Gate east of Gentulon. Iff you already used the Explosive, follow @Senneria's insturctions.

All of those you will find later in the game.

we did kill the councill, we got the explosives and used them inside the vault.
The key we found on the table next to haris we used to open "the Garden"? cant seem to find another key to open a rolling door.

 

[randomtask]

Found a key in thw well in the grove! gonna se if thats the one we need.

 

[SpasMaster]

A Bookshelf next to the Arcane Wares shop (close to the Garden) speaks of a key dropped inside of a Well within the Grove. That's what you need. Go to the Arcane Wares shop and inspect the Bookshelf next to him.

Hello there,
I have a problem, I already used up explosives, which were hidden behind the rolling door. But I can't find another explosives to open the gate under council. I did kill whole coucil, but didn't get any explosives.. :/ Is there a way to obtain them somewhere else?

 

[randomtask]

There is no other place. The 'Council' drops one and there is another one behind the rolling gate.

 

[randomtask]

found it!

 

[Senneria]

Torch is near the Skeleton Tomb.

 

[Jamallio]

Well, I guess I can't progress further since Council didn't drop me explosive
There is not another way to open the "firmly stuck Massive door", is there?

 

[SpasMaster]

Well, I guess I can't progress further since Council didn't drop me explosive

This boss fight has been in the game for over 3 years. Not once has it ever been seen or heard that the Explosive didn't drop.
I can only assume that Warlord Bul'thos (who drops the explosive) was killed behind a column or an arch that blocks the view to the Explosive, but you are simply not seeing it.
It's impossible for the Explosives not to drop from the boss fight.

Having alot of trouble talking to mysterious wanderer. cant seem to get the door open for the life of me, i have looked through previous postings and they all mention a level directly next to the door, but i cant find it. any help appreciated.

 

[Davion24]

The lever is on the left of the door behind the centerpiece , try turning the camera, via insert/delete.

I have been to no avail, even with turning the camera, 2 people been looking for an hour. We have every item needed for the legendary quest but we just cant seem to open this door.

Is it possible the lever has been moved in recent versions? I am certain its not on the left of the door .

 

[SpasMaster]

The lever is still there. As you are looking at the door rotate the camera left and you will see the lever right in front of the door under one of the palm trees.

Just found it, thank you! guess I was just stuck looking in the wrong places.

 

[Senneria]

Try and use insert and delete to rotate the camera left/right near the door.

I'm having trouble with finding the 3rd ruby, can anyone tell me where it is?

 

[Davion24]

I'm having trouble with finding the 3rd ruby, can anyone tell me where it is?

One is behind a pillar, in front of the water works entrance, another behind another pillar at the satyr boss, and the last to the south of the corrupted stone near , which is near the "lost totem" troll quest giver.

How does it work the circle of powers under the zul tar forest duengon?

 

[Toe of destruction]

There is a vocano, where you first encounter the footman, I manage to get inside and see a sad skeleton, what can I do with him? ( I can see he holds a legendary item)

 

[Davion24]

He just a reference to the old versions of the map,theres nothing you can do with him.

 

[Davion24]

The code can be found in front of the door to the three boss battle before the water elemental boss.

Oh, thank you. Took me long enough to get there. Damn you sad skeleton xD.

Someone can help me some more hint for the vault of the titans or suramar wine? I've got the two part of the titan hammer. Titaforged Handle and the Head. What missing? And how can i open the magical pen? Just give some hints please.

The barrier can be broken by a key held by a invulnerable naga between the Azune battle and troll village, killing him will require a weapon that can kill invulnerable.

You need to acquire the Elyrian Elixir (it's purchased from the Troll Village and requires a bunch of components). Once you have the Elyrian Elixir, you can use it to fuse the two parts of the Hammer together.

And how can i open the magical pen? Just give some hints please.

You need to kill Zerash. There is an item that can do that, you probably have it already.

I read the description of the Queen's Scepter and it says that you can attemp to use the power of it. Anyone can tell me what is it use?

 

[branny006]

Can any1 give me a hint where the Corrupted Essence is, I've cleared the map twice now on Solo Heroic Hell and I still can't find it anywhere :/

 

[Senneria]

It's within a secret location close to the Master's Chamber. Need to look for an opening in the rightside wall.

 

[Davion24]

I think it's supposed to release tortured souls.

Okay. I'll see how it work. Thank you very much.

Need help on opening the master's chamber and entering the cave right the nerubian nest.

 

[Toe of destruction]

Need help on opening the master's chamber and entering the cave right the nerubian nest.

The Master Chamber is opened by a key that very rare and drop from monster. To go in to the cave in the nest, you have to first find a map which is on the ground next to the broken ship close to the Troll dungeon.

 

[klein ryan]

I have the token but I still don't know how to open the left door in the master's chamber and where to find the handle for the anvil. I really enjoy this game, ty spasmaster.

 

[Senneria]

You need two separate dragon tokens to open the leftmost door - Ysera and Nozdormu.
Rightmost door requires the Key of Life.

 

[Toe of destruction]

To the left of the map, there is a Gigantic Door which describe to "lead to another sector of the city". Using the "iseedeadpeople" I can see that beyond that door is a quest-giver on an island. Is this a real mission or just another reference to the prev version?

 

[Davion24]

I was hoping to get to him via random teleport. Still i haven't seen anyone else state what he is doing.

• To get to the cloak you need explosives. There's a key hidden at the table just before you reach Harris that unlocks a rolling stone door opposite side of the entrance to Waterworks.
  
  
• Crucifix is only used for Zerash. You can safely throw it away afterwards.
  
  
• You need an item that makes you immune to magical fire. Perhaps the Firelord is linked with it?
  
  
• Both tokens are random drops.
