Hello all,

I recently visited the Ice Temple and managed to destroy the lightning generator. I've scoured the temple and can't find any way to repair it. Do any of you have suggestions?

You can fix it, if I recall rightly, from the battle squares room by invoking the maintenance function.

Buwaha! I shall head there post haste!

Argh! Embrace the shadow!? What the heck does that mean? I've only got Lysans room left (and freeing the mercenaries) and then I can go on.

I can't figure out how to get past that damn shadow trap. Help. Please.

I'll give you hints: lightning, standing, mirrors.

Ok, I'm dense. I've been pouring over this all day and can't figure it out. My guess is that somehow I have to get a lightning bolt to hit the doorway. But I can't get the mirrors to align to accomplish this.

My wizards lightning bolts don't bounce off mirrors so that option is out.

Spoilerish

Align the mirror so that the lightning would reach that part, then make someone to stand near the door you want to open, then turn the switch to activate the lightning. the lightning will travel through the bounces through the mirror and eventually will hit your character that will open the door.

Well now that is something I never would have guessed!

How did you figure that out?

You don't have stand anyone in front of the door!
send your party into the hallway and then south through the door into the crypt. Do in all the Shadows and then look in the northwest corner and find a casket that is a secret door then open it.
Next make sure the hallway on the northwest is clear of anyone and then open the door to the mirror room. Everybody get clear of the doorway and send one party member back to the prism room to turn the prism to the south and then have him throw the switch that fires the lighting bolt. The Bolt will go through the crypt and into the mirror room and unlocking the door to the treasury.

one other tip. Look at every fallen body from this point on save any keys you find you'll need them soon.

Ok, all doors are opened except for the secret door to Lysan's room. I can teleport into her room by means of the oil painting/staircase but then I can't get out, because that damn secret door won't open. I have all of the keys that I could find but nothing seems to work.

I've shot the lightning generator in every direction possible (except west). Nothing is working.

If I could get that secret door open, I'm sure I could get the door that has a shadow trap on it open with the lightning generator.

Am I missing something?

Enter the room through the painting by choosing "Lysan". Inside that shadow room you'll find that you cannot open the north door but your character will discover a secret west door. open it.

Then adjust the adjustable mirror. Send someone to stand near the north door of shadow room. pull the lightning switch and the lightning will travel through the hallway and will hit your character and thus will open the door.

On a side notice related to your original question. The lightning prism can be repaired in 2 other ways:
1. A character with a high 'Use magic device' skill can repair it though it will take 24 hours.
2. If you still havent asked Nickodemus for a favour you can ask him to repair it as a favour. The loserest way of all :D . a perfect waste of a good favour.

I can't open that door while inside the room. It just says "Embrace the shadow".

OK, I see the hint didn't work. After you've opened the door before that room(the one in the hall) have a character with the second biggest hp stand on the shadow. Shoot the lightning and make sure it hit's the shadow via the mirrors. The doors open. Now the man with the biggest hp goes in and talks to the .... the rest is spoilerish...

have an evil character stand on the shadow, so (s)he doesn't get hurt

Hmm... didn'tknow that one. Every day something new...

Got it all done now. needed someone to stand in the shadow and someone else to open the secret door at the same time. After that it doesn't matter where anyone stands once you shoot the lightning generator.

Now I'm trying to figure out the Fell Wood. Thanks for your help, folks.

I wonder what would one do if soloing then...

As for fell wood the "wilderness lore" skill is your friend

Best friend, I might add. :D

once you've done the path enough you can finally get the hang of it though... and solosing, once you've stepped on the shadow, the door unlocks so you can open it [img]graemlins/wolfgang.gif[/img]
