Dungeon Deceit: Complete solution (Part 4)





The opposite direction takes us to the magical bridge we activated. I'm sure this bridge is perfectly safe.




At the end of the bridge is this tapestry thing.




The purple button makes a lift-thing appear. Only it's Ultima 9, so it's more of a 'clip through it and fall into the lava'-thing than a lift-thing.




The blue button raises this bridge of stone blocks out of the lava. For some reason the lava doesn't melt them. The lava also isn't boiling the Avatar alive right now so I think there's something strange going on here.




The blocks fall into the lava behind us as we run across them.




We hop onto the elevator at the end, because our only other option would be to jump into the lava.






The buttons on the wall work like Reversi or Go or whatever your choice of board games with two-sided pieces is.

Clicking on a button removes it, turning the adjacent buttons to the opposite color. The objective is to turn all of the buttons blue.

You need to do this all while the statue is blasting you with fireballs. If you take too long you die.

Unfortunately I'm stupid and originally thought the color we were aiming for was red, so we took a bit more damage than I would have liked.




When all of the buttons are blue, it raises this thing out of the lava.




After climbing the new blocks, we reach a purple button. Clicking on it summons a lift that takes us back to the tapestry.




The other lift brings us to the last ledge in the room.




Here's how it works. The round green button makes the statue rotate a little clockwise. The diamond-shaped green button makes it rotate about 45 degrees clockwise. The blue buttons do the same only counter-clockwise, and the red button makes the statue fire an orb.




First we make the statue fire and orb at the thing that came from the lava. Hitting it lowers a force field covering the teleporter on the top of the ledge in the middle.




Shooting the other thing brings the lift back to this side.




To get back onto the ledge you're supposed to run back to the blocks we lifted out of the lava, ride the lift halfway and hit the green button on the side of the platform in the middle. Unfortunately this has glitched out on me ever since I got rid of my Pentium 300 so I just jumped. We chug the yellow potion in the corner and jump on the teleporter.




The teleporter lands us in the main part of the dungeon. I love this dungeon because it's not Hythloth.
