Spoilerish question...

Krowlars · 10-18-2005, 10:13 AM

Where can I find a complete walkthrough about the Machine of Lum, the Mad? One describing all the possible combinations and their results, good or bad. Thank you all in advance.

I'm sure there's one on www.gamefaqs.com, but...

spoiler!

Every combination for the machine can be found in the rambling notes found throughout WK.

Krowlars · 10-19-2005, 06:29 AM

Those notes describe the most usefull combinations; but there are many others you can make. I want to know if anyone has ever tried to do them and wrote down their results.

If you try a combination that is not on a note the effects are radom I belive. I've tried some combinations, one time I got petrified and another combination resulted in some random potion.

The Prima guide had all the combinations. I don't know if you can still find it -- prolly ebay.

I'll see what I can do in the next time I get to the machine. Thanks guys!

Here is something from www.gamebanshee.com

Quote:

In case you don't feel like looking at the journal or the various notes found around Watcher's Keep, here is a full list of the valid combinations that you can use on Lum's machine:

Triangle-Red-Medium activates the exit portal at area #8
Triangle-Green-Medium gets you the Storm Star +3
Circle-Blue-Long grants you a +1 bonus to Intelligence
Circle-Square-Triangle grants you a +1 bonus to Wisdom
Circle-Red-Long grants you a +1 bonus to Constitution
Square-Blue-Short gets you a +1 bonus to Dexterity
Square-Short-Medium gets you a +1 bonus to Strength
Red-Green-Short gets you a +1 bonus to Charisma
Blue-Green-Long gets you a permanent Magic Resistance bonus

If you choose any other combinations, the character will be subjected to a random effect:

10% chance of losing fifteen levels
10% chance of losing a point of Dexterity
10% chance of losing a point of Intelligence
10% chance of suffering 50 points of fire damage
10% chance of suffering 75 points of lightning damage
10% chance of being poisoned
10% chance of being turned to stone
10% chance of being Imprisoned
10% chance of gaining a Potion of Superior Healing
10% chance of gaining 100,000 experience points

AFAIR all the good combinations are in the notes.
I haven't tried the other combinations but would suppose that the two good effects are non-repetitive? Otherwise it would be too easy with quick save and load to cheese in unlimited XP and potions of healing.

I remember to have gotten those 100,000 experience points once. I don't remember if I have tried to repeat the combination though. I'll try it. Thanks ZFR!

they can be repeated a number of time I think I got about 500,000 for one of my characters.
