thatone Apprentice Member # 6264	written Friday, September 2 2005 07:11 Profile #0 Yeah, I'm a little behind the times. I'm working on Backwater Calls. I've been doing fairly well and enjoying the game. I'm currently in the dungeon of the old fort that the demons have taken over. I've fought my way through, I have the enchanted amulet, and I got the invulnerability bracelet. Is there a way to face the main haakai here, or do I have to go somewhere else? Is there a trick to the falling tiles, or is that just a trap? Any help would be appreciated. Posts: 4 | Registered: Friday, September 2 2005 07:00

The haakai's supposed to be beyond that part in the room with the throne and lava and everything. -------------------- These are my scenarios. I may have too much free time but I really don't care.

I've tried numerous times, and I keep falling to my death every way I try. Is there a trick to it? I hate to spoil the puzzle, but I just want to move on.

Smoo-Cow Shock Trooper Member # 5459	written Friday, September 2 2005 08:18 Profile Homepage #3 There's no trick, really. Now if I remember correctly, this should get you through: when the first tiles drop move diagonally south towards the wall (either way will work), then move diagonally back towards the center and when you're there move out of the room. Hope this gets you through. edit: And uh, hope that was clear enough. [ Friday, September 02, 2005 08:20: Message edited by: Smoo ] -------------------- These are my scenarios.

Since the tiles have fallen to my right and to my left, I take one step forward. From this point, I can take one step to the right or the left, but when I try to move beyond that in any direction, I die. Posts: 4 | Registered: Friday, September 2 2005 07:00

Those two tiles at the corners are safe. -------------------- These are my scenarios. I may have too much free time but I really don't care.
