Ruins of Originia FM2: Guilded Rivalry support

Lightningline on 7/11/2002 at 00:29

I am playing Pt 2 of Ruins of Originia and I am stuck even with the walkthrough. Pretty bad Hu. Well here is the story. I am tward the end of guilded Rivalry. The walkthrough says to go through the door between the Element wards Then take the tubelift up and shoot an arrow into the beam and break the ice crystal(the room is round and has deity wards all around) The problem is "THERE IS NO WOODEN BEAM!!!!" Am I in the wrong room or do I have to go back to the high current tube tward the beginning and hit those 4 switches by the strange machinery. (I am playing on normal) Or are they irrevelent in Normal Mode. And what is with the face down the hall from the tube lift and the rocks plugging the hallway every time I approach it. By the way this mission makes me very angry sometimes but that is what makes it sooo good! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[SPOILER]Check on the floor in the vines for a vine arrow!
The overhead beam is metal so you will need it![/SPOILER]

Hope this helps!:)

Is there a special trick to get hold of that rope...? Still like to see what's up there :cheeky:

The first rope or the second one (where you get shot out?)

First rope:
2 gem, fire arrows, water arrows, about a bunch of rope arrows

Second rope:
4 gems attached to the wall

You think that's bad.....I'm stuck at the BEGINNING! And that is while using the walkthrough.

First off....that picture is not climbable, mainly beause I can't get to it. You have to jump off the ledge to reach it, and I just can't connect. I gave up after about 15 mins.

Second, there is this rope I have to latch onto, or I end up in a strange question mark room with nothing to do and nowhere to go. Now....this problem I can't leave behind because its a dead end. After 30 mins of trying to catch that rope while the water sweeps me by, I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Really? When I wrote the walkthrough, there were two beams, and they were both wood.

Look behind one of the posts in the question mark room. Flip the lever there.

[SPOILER]DID you free all the deities? You CAN'T SEE IT until the Containment crystal is destroyed by the deities...

The wooden beam is hidden ABOVE the Containment Crystal...[/SPOILER]

Sorry guys, I had played Guilded Rivalry at my parents place on
my day off, and I just reached the same area while playing on
my computer today.
[SPOILER]The beam IS wood! and its a rope arrow on the ground.[/SPOILER]

Dont know what I was thinking:confused:
all right, no more posting while sleep deprived;)

Hello!

I have zoomed through the water tunnels and shot up like a geyser onto the rope high up in the tower where the four gems were (they're in my pocket now). That's the good news. The bad news is, as soon as I had the gems, I rashly quick saved, then realized that I'm stuck in the texture up there. I can't go up or down, and jumping does nothing.

Please, please, tell me there's a trick to getting unstuck when this happens - my last hard save was before catching that difficult trip line!

Cheers!

Thats one bug I don't know how to fix.. Maybe if I make the physical dimensions small, but keep the visual dims the same... That happens sometimes...

I'm very sorry...

S'okay :) Restarting wasn't as bad as I thought. Onward!

I'm having a blast with this one, by the way. All the pretty colors... :D

Cheers!
