Secret Area?

Post by Kayless »

I was recently using the CLUAConsole and typed CLUAConsoleMoveToArea(“AR2700”). It took me to a place I had never been. It was a large grove surrounded by several stone heads with an altar in the center. It looked not completely dissimilar to the elves’ camp so I assume it’s by Suldanessalar. As soon as I entered, it went to a cut scene where I turned into the Slayer while the heads said ‘Awaken’. I then turned back to normal. After that rather unusual sequence ended I took a closer look at the talking stones. When you click on the heads they say: ‘In mortal form you cannot speak. Reveal the god, the death and hate within you. So shall the test begin…’ So I decided to turn into the Slayer again. When I did the heads said ‘The god child has come’, and I was then transplanted to the center area where the heads spoke once more. They told me that without my soul I would lose my self to the darkness and that I had to face my inner evil (they were actually much less succinct but I’ll refrain from directly transcribing their words for the sake of brevity). Then the Slayer appeared before me and actually spoke! (He has a bitching voice Image) He says “*I … am the strengthhh… even in deathhh… you will die… all of you will dieee!*” You then get to duke it out with him and believe me, he’s no push over (at least not one on one. I kept my teammates back for this battle. I also reverted to human form to fight him, so I’m not sure whether or not you can beat him in Slayer form. Fighting him as the Slayer seems like defeating the purpose of this moral battle anyway). Afterwards the heads congratulated me but still said I needed to get my soul back from the exile, i.e. Irenicus.

I’m curious, has anyone else found this area? Can it be reached normally or was it removed from the final version of the game? I highly recommend going to this spot. The sequence is very cool. (my poor little post doesn’t do it justice).

I become death, destroyer of worlds...
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

I tried a couple weeks ago with a similar experience. It has been discussed on this board before and as far as I know there's no "normal" way to get there.

I tried this last night - cool, but I didn't think the slayer should be so easy to kill :-)

Wow, Weas! That was way back when you were still the Defender of Truth!

Never tried this, but will experiment with it when I get home. Sounds like it may have been an unfinished area, never fully developed.
