Does anyone know what The Skull of Tiamat is supposed to do?
It's the skull you find right next to the Pool of Radiance.
In actually, Tiamat is a water goddess from ancient Mesopotamian times. When I first found the Skull I considered this and, on a hunch, tossed it into the Pool of Radiance. To my surprise it disappeared!
Yet I cannot figure out what this is supposed to be for. Reading is not help; none of the books or texts I have found mention Tiamat or the pool at all.
Insight, please? Was this something that was overlooked?
By the way, this is apparently the only mythological reference in the mission that is consistant with any mythology in our world.

Now get this: there are OTHER clues on how to solve this puzzle: :p
[SPOILER]when you place the crystals, turn the volume way up: you can hear arrows being fired in the distance, and bouncing off a wall! Only three of them hit a button, the rest ovbiously hit a wall. Those three (3, 5, 6) are the ones you must press.. By that time, guessing the '365' riddle was easy. MOUAHAHAHAHA :cheeky:[/SPOILER]
:weird: :weird: :weird:
Wow, that's a new one ;)

ffox reply 'There are a few more dotted about, but not loads.'
ffox - you lie sir! - few more? Dozens more like.
And I'm still playing it - Either I'm completely mad or this is a masterpiece! Sorry - just had to get that off my chest, now back to the game.

Finished this morning on expert - well worth the extra terror! Was wondering whether the lava pit was somehow easier to do on normal than expert as the first time around I just wizzed through it with no problems - 2nd time I died so many times, I waited till [SPOILER]I had the stone potions[/SPOILER]

Yes - 3 of the 7 guns don't fire on Normal, so if you keep to the
west side it's a doddle. You get the full barrage on Hard and Expert. It can still be done unaided with a bit of practice (or luck). :cool:
