Could someone please help me with the Elder trial. I am stuck in the room with the 3 circles which are covered with runes. There are also Fire Sprouts in there as well. I have killed everything in that room, including the mage (nice exp there ) but I still cannot leave. What do I have to do to get out.
If you look up, you'll see I think (at least) 4 open arches that lead into hallways. Directly beneath each of these, on the same floor level that you're on, you'll see kind of round floor tile that's a different color than the rest of the floor. You need to hop on these -- they're elevators that will take you up to the upper hallways. Once everyone is dead (and it sounds like they are), these elevators should be active. Some of these elevators will lead to dead-ends in the hallways above, and you may have to jump down again. One elevator will actually go up to a hallway that will take you on to the next part.
I'm not 100% sure what triggers the elevators, but I think they're triggered after you've killed everyone, and standing on them should activate them. You don't have to push any buttons or anything like that to make them go up or down (at least I didn't).
If i look up i see 3 platforms and only 2 arch ways, there was an Elven Wizard that teleported from 1 platform to the another (till he was dead). The only other exit/entrance to this room is the gate I came through, which is now locked.
If anyone else knows anything of this room your feedback would be appreciated.
Ack! It's gotta be the same room -- it sure sounds like it! Fire Sprouts, and all, and, if it is the same room, there should be some water in it, too.
Does the room you're in happen to have any columns in it, spread throughout the room, or have you already passed that? How many rooms have you been through already?
Ok, I think I know where you are! So in the room you're in, your walking on thin platforms above lot's of water (nothing but water below the platforms). The platforms are in a square pattern, so you can advance forward, to the left, or to the right. Going left or right (short platform) brings you to the wall with a "blue" looking symbol on the floor -- this is the "teleporter" where the ghost knights and archers spawn from. So you kill them all, and move on forward (after having stepped on the blue teleporter things). Evertime you do this, a new platform extends so you can move forward (North). Eventually after going straight across these platforms long enough, you reach the elder mage (or something like that), and there's a locked gate with another one of those "blue" transporter circles. When you step on that, it should open the gate.
If you save and load in the fire spout room, the trial breaks. That's probably what happened to you. You have to go back to an earlier save.

I did save in that room and exit. Will it work if I go back to just before that room? and can I save it in there without exiting? And do I have to kill the wizard?
Thanks again all
PS How much more is there to go in the elder trial after this room?
The firespout room is the last trial. I think any saved game from before entering the trial should work (as long as none of the ghosts have materialized yet). You don't have to kill the wizard.
