Pls add description to Tomb of Last King doors (or runes)

Post by xf1313 »

The puzzle and door is great, it is fun, until I started to look for the rune on the floor. They look nothing like a king pointing arm forward or 3 waves ... This turned puzzle into wild guess?

Perhaps add a bit of description to the runes or on the door would help.

Without revealing too much, lets just say some things in this game are placed intentionally to mislead and distract you. I've always assumed it's the intention behind the puzzle here.

Man with torch - you (facing the pillar/barrier)

The king - well the king..

The waves, representing a barrier, the boat, a means to pass it.

Why is the king pointing?

I'm not dumb. I'd like to think I'm actually reasonably smart. This room, however, killed my soul.

Let’s say the hidden passage is too well hidden, I did manage to squeeze through thou.

I dealt with that last night and spent a hot minute trying to decipher heiroglyphs and looking up Mulhorandi stuff, for about 20 minutes until I discovered the excellent merit of the tab key.

The problem is, you get feedback from the floor tiles when you step on them. It says *click* in the combat log. Making it seem like this is the correct answer, and it's some combination of floor tiles.

It's great I spent 20 mins with a friend trying to work it out.
Then we found the "spoiler" and laughed about it.

Getting rid of this would be amazing actually. It would encourage you to look around a bit more as opposed to wasting time.
