I tried something new in the second part of the crypt last night... the part where you start in the asylum. As you probably know, there's a spot that has a couple of treasure chests right when you get into the asylum. You know... right by the pools at the beginning, where a chest sits on a ledge out of your reach?
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to get to it (although there is a secret door on the other side). In the past, I've constructed elaborate ladders in a fashion that might make Stackman cringe, to see a stack abused so thoroughly.
Last night, I did it differently. Instead of constructing a ladder, I built a platform of a crate, couple of barrels, and another crate -- the materials that are just right there.
Then I just ran up the stairs, around the perimeter, and ran onto my platform. Didn't even have to jump to it! I carried the treasure chest down to the floor, and then ran around again to jump the rest of the way up there and score the other chest.
Far easier than the ladders I've built in the past, lemme tell ya...
Anyway, I thought I'd share that. I'll be trying the patch tonight, although there's one thing it takes away that I'll miss -- the opportunity to short-cut a shopkeepers speech [img]smile.gif[/img]
