´The Pit fast and easy

[TitusOvid]

Since I posted this in german before and in light of a recent post I'll do it here again. Maybe it helps some peeps.

To find the right way in The Pit you just have to know if you have to change the tower and if you have to go up or down from your current position. So here it goes:

N = North Tower
S = South Tower
marked with a red circles with three horizontal lines
((N)) = reachable from North Tower

1) (N) Entrance --> Backup Generators (N)
change tower and up, pass the acid trap to change tower again and up.

2) (N) Backup generators --> Furnace 1 (S)
change tower and down

3) (S) Furnace 1 --> Security Center (N)
change tower and up

4) (N) Security Center --> Furnace 2 (S)
change tower and down

5) (S) Furncace 2 --> Power Breakers (S)
same tower and up

6) (S) Power Breakers --> Main Control Room (N)
change tower and down

7) (N) Main Control Room --> Bilge Pumps (N)
same tower and up

8) (N) Bilge Pumps --> Furnace 3 (S)
change tower and down

9) (S) Furnace 3 --> Intake System ((N))
change tower and up, cross bridge

10) ((N)) Intake System --> Optional (S)
change tower and all the way down to lava.


PS: Don't forget feather fall items!

Why split this in towers? I find this a bit confusing. Especially when you consider feather fall items a must.

1) From start:
- Go up
- drop down a ramp
- keep going up
- pass acid trap
- and keep going up.

2) From Backup Generator:
feather fall down South-East to the furnaces

3) From 1st furnace:
Go up and cross the platform

4) From Security Center:
Feather fall down South-East to the furnaces

5) From 2nd furnace:
Go up and don't cross the platform

6) From Power Breakers:
Feather fall down to the central shrine on the map. Then head up.

7) From Main Control Room:
Go up

8) From Bilge Pumps:
Go down

9) From 3rd furnace:
Go up and cross the platform

For optional) Jump down South-East to lava.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

So basically, if you are too high up, next part is down. Either SE to furnaces or to the central shrine for main control room.
If you are down, the way is up. From furnaces: cross, no-cross, cross.
If you are in bilge pumps (middle) then the way is down the ramp.

Puzzles:

The Backup Generator needs the following levers pulled (lights out puzzle):
X - X
- X -
X - X

The Security Center has signs matching runes with colors:
2 downstairs: One on the side of the ladder leading to 1st level and one at a troglodyte nest (orange and purple)
1 as you enter the room looking up under the upper platform (red)
1 at the side of the ladder leading to the 2nd level (blue)
1 at the side of the platform leading to wheels orange and green. You need to jump off the platform onto a sewer entrance to see it. (green)
1 under the ladder leading to the 3rd level where the red wheel is (yellow)

The Power Breakers have a bug, but intended way is to pull 3 random levers and open the forcefield to reset lever.
There are 3 runes above the forcefield indicating how many levers you've turned.
The central spot between 4 pillars is safe to stand (X sign) and you can pull all 4 adjacent levers from there:
O - O
- X -
O - O

There's already a quick walkthrough in the wiki (http://ddowiki.com/page/The_Pit):

Navigating the Pit, quick walkthrough

Getting to the Backup Generator Room: Featherfall on the walkway immediately below the Entrance Room => Go up => Pass the Main Breaker Room => Go right at the acid trap => Go up.
Getting to the 1st Furnace: Featherfall towards the lowest walkway in the SE corner.
Getting to the Security Center Room: Go up => Pass the Bilge Control Room => Go right at the intersection => Go up => Pass the Entrance Room => Go up.
Getting to the 2nd Furnace: Featherfall towards the lowest walkway in the SE corner.
Getting to the Main Breaker Room: Go up => Pass the Bilge Control Room => Go left at the intersection => Go up.
Getting to the Main Control Room: Featherfall towards the lowest walkway in the NW corner.
Getting to the Bilge Control Room: Go up => Pass the Furnace Rooms => Go up.
Getting to the 3rd Furnace: Featherfall on the walkway immediately below the Bilge Control Room => Go up.
Getting to the Intake Control Room: Go up => Pass the Bilge Control Room => Go right at the intersection => Go up => Pass the Entrance Room => Pass the Security Center Room => Cross the bridge.

Could you expand on this? I only know how to cheat, or I end up flipping every single lever in that stupid room.
I don't know which part I said was not clear to you :p

Here it is again:
There is a bug where you can pull the reset lever without removing the forcefield. But I don't explain that.
To remove the forcefield you need to pull 3 random levers.

The forcefield has 3 lit runes above it. The runes darken each time one of the 3 random levers is pulled. When all runes darken DM text also appears indicating that the forcefield has been removed.

Now, I have noticed many people trying to pull levers and dying from lightning. To survive the lightning traps, I always stand at the center of the square created by 4 pillars when pulling the 4 adjacent levers. When those 4 levers are done, I move on to the next square jumping over the lightning.

I printed this off years ago, and it's all I need:
