I'm stuck. I keep trying to defeat the battle square mainly because I can't think of anything else to get into the "embrace the shadow" room. I use the painting to get into the room then get blown away by the lightning glyph in the room. Anybody got a spoiler to share?

I have defeated level 5 of the battlesquare, I used a Ranger and loaded him up with different types of aid spells. Still, I didn't get the goodies you guys said you got. I got a pearl, a few potions and they cast a spell on me that doesn't last very long. What am I missing?

I thought maybe I had to defeat all the the levels and ranks to get into the room. I guess not by looking at what some of you have posted.

the embrace the shadow room, you have to walk onto the shadow (and get hurt by the trap), then the door will open, then bounce lightning into the room to open the adjoining room up...

as for the battlesquare, to get the good items you must win a difficulty setting by completing 3 consecutive squares, then 4 and so on up till 7 (a total of 25 battles per difficulty level)

but finishing the battlesquare was challenging, but not entirely impossible... just requires lots of reloads

Its not really that hard if you know how to do it correctly. Improved Invisibility rocks
I casted them on my 2 sorcerers and put one of my sorcerer just outside the room at the north door. Than I started the battle and have twice the amount of spells. Plus the monsters won't attack my sorcerers since they are invisible.

Thanks Lethoso. Actually I looked up "embrace the shadow" last night after I found out you don't have to defeat all the battle squares. (thank god) Got the spoiler and I'm on way my in the haunted wood.

I was simply getting seven squares on each level (or rank), and then going to the next. I'll go back and play with the room later. I tried the last rank and got killed pretty quickly so it looks pretty tough.

It's really not that bad, you get an item which helps a lot on the later battlesquare levels after completing rank 6.... so if you can finish that rank, you can finish em all...
