Just finished the mission. Definitely a challenging one with some great tricks! If you drop the hour glass on the other side of the beasts when they block the doorway you can walk past them and then pick it up again and start running. Once I figured that out getting out was much easier.

Brilliant little (or not so little) mission! The execution of portal is very clever and working so well. Congrats for being the first one to bring the non-euclidean stuff in fanmissions to the next level!

Good game. I found it hard. I tried not to read this thread and blundered my way through over several days. :wot: Not sure if I did it the right way. 825/1350 on Normal. Secrets found zero.
Several strange things happened when I was messing about with the Heavy Piece of Debris and I wasn’t sure if it’s intended or it’s a hole in the continuum. :D
With Power lever Down and Atrium Library lever Up, I go to left (or right) of the archway and place the Heavy Piece of Debris on the middle pedestal. Then back to control panel and turn the power off and run through arch. I'm a bit slow and on occasion I get stuck in blackout, presumably in a no-mans land. But I still have the compass, loot etc and ... if I happen to face upward (I guess) I see what I assume is the mission map (I’m not a Dromeder) which is slowly drifting away (I assume I'm sinking) and it gets smaller. The ambient music continues to play and eventually “the map” becomes a dot and disappears in the blackness. It's interesting and unnerving, like a spaceman drifting from the mother-ship. Other times I get through to the other side of the arch and the Piece of debris is floating in air but I can get damaged near it. Eventually I got around it and up the steps to where the debris needs to go and then went back to safely collect it. All good stuff. Fascinating game. Thank you! :thumb: What was the music by the way?

That sounds like you managed to time it so that you got teleported out of the world.

A hidden objective? :joke:

To be able to activate the portal (the Power Switch on the panel with two switches) you need to solve the puzzle with the magic keys - you need to get Dilya's blessing. Just read the scroll lying on the floor, before you enter area with magic keys and gates and read the rules. Essentially you need to collect them in an order so you do not lock yourself up.

Thanks to (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151427&p=2476113&viewfull=1#post2476113) vfig I’m now up to
1200/1350 on Normal and 1/1 secret. Playing “I’m not holding the hourglass / Yes I am” is a clever (and dangerous) taunt. I believe I can see the last 150 but am stuck near the octagonal structure that you go around on the way up to where you place the heavy piece of debris. The beast I’m trying to coax will only come so far around either side of the octagonal but no further. Can’t see any other way of getting up to the loot which is just a few paces ahead of there. I haven’t used the 9 keys anywhere and assume I don’t need to. All suggestions welcome. Thanks. :)

@ Aged Raver - Don't think there's any other way than what you're trying :p . I got all the tricky loot by climbing on the purple lights or playing the pick up / drop hourglass game with the beasts and mantling them. May be worth letting the beasts settle down by getting out of sight for a while, if you can, and trying again?
@radogal - It's pretty much impossible to get over the bridge with the stone and it's not the intended way. You need to use the portal - having noticed that when you turn it off it doesn't shut down immediately. Bigger spoil: there's a window when you can go through the portal before it switches back.
