Rainbow in the Dark - Trap Puzzle Solves

[Mad_Bombardier]

Luck? Perhaps, perhaps not... I hit it twice in a row that seems to be more then luck. But at least there is a chance at solving it now. More of a chance then before. I just wanted to help those that might want some extra loot. Perhaps it is the 6 and 12 that are random. But at least it is a chance to solve. Try it or not good luck on the loot

It could be like the AtDQ book riddle or Shadow Crypt path and have a finite number of solutions (not the full 720 combinations suggested by 6 random levers). Keep up the good sleuthing guys and gals!

It's just 2 bonus chests..

And a shortcut to the mini-boss if you fail and the floor breaks.

Heh. Painful shortcut!

Thank heavens our ranger had the ring of the ancestors, since we were all first timers, all standing over the pit, and the cleric and the high-UMD characters all died on the way down.

[Mad_Bombardier]

If you're on Hard/Elite, absolutely. But, if you look around, you'll see theres always a clear drop path through the spikes (though the spikes seem to be in random spots so the path isn't always the same).

It might be helpful if people take a /loc when they use this method successfully and record the r, i and Q numbers(Q should be a hexadecimal).

Yes.. we made a little map study once we'd raised the party. Forewarned is forearmed.

tried the 10-8-2-4-6-12 method after reading this post 12 runs zero completions most we got through was 3 pulls forth 1 dropped us twice

[Kromize]

click center then click
10 o'clock
8 o'clock
2 o'clock
4 o'clock
6 o'clock
12 o'clock

tested on different difficulties?

there might be a solid solution for each difficulty....bu then again, random best bet

[Lifespawn]

all of my attempts that failed were on elite

[ArkoHighStar]

failed on normal first click after center

[CaptGrim]

on my last 3 runs, 1 was hard and, 2 elite.

center,12,2,4,8,10,6 .... opened gate all 3 times, but floor popped too

[Attomic]

We tried this method and it worked the first 2 times, so we were excited. However, it did fail the next 3 times. Thanks for the tip though. I have been able to get to the chests even if the floor does fall out, much to the envy and curses of my guildies

Is this for real?

[Fennario]

Is this for real?

Yep... looted the chests twice with the rest of my group cursing me from the darkness below.

[FrostBeard]

Certainly a puzzle and a half

Hmm.. I'll have to look for some sconce or ledge to stand on next time. Food for thought.

if it is random that is no fun, and i don't think i will run that quest at all.

I like this quest, but it is a bummer that the clock lock is vague in its hints.

A few things I have noticed

The 7 switches at the very end (rainbow puzzle). Apparently light up differently. (left to right). I have had 1/2 and 6/7 lit up and another time it was 1 and 6 only. Also, of interest is that the design on the 7 switches at the end, is the same design as the "trap" buttons found through out the quest itself (IE: where elementals spawn). a clue?

I have been successful once in getting the extra chests.

difficulty: hard
The rainbow puzzle (at the end) was lit up 1/6. (from left to right, standing on stairs)
The combination that worked for us was: 8,2,10,12,4,6 - after hitting 8, we did get the electricity trap.

Thought it funny myself Asp....

DEV's gives us EXACTLY what we have been asking for and then this happens.

Wonder what will happen when we can finally have more random traps. Wait, I do know - they will ***** about it.

Typical, huh?
