How the hell do I work the lightning machine on the lower level of the ice palace? I can't get the damn thing to work or open doors. Please help me!!!

Thanks in advance.

There are two levers by the northern entrance. One controls the direction that the machine points; the other causes it to shoot forth a bolt. There's also a single, movable mirror outside the northern entrance, which you'll want to turn at some point. Adjusting it helps shoot a bolt at a door which has a lightning symbol on it; that unlocks the door.

Be sure to try most of the machine's positions, although you should avoid the western one--as I recall, that shoots a bolt back at the machine, causing it to damage. (If that happens, you can get it fixed in the game room.)

other question:

one level higher there are three doors in the western part and one in the eastern. how can i open the doors?

When you click on the doors, it will tell you something like L-North R-North.

In the room where the three doors are, you will see a big dial on the floor. Go to the left side of the dial and turn it until it points north. Then go to the right side of the dial and turn it until it points north again. The doors should open.

How do you complete the tests? Do you just beat all 10 levels? What do you get? Do you have to do the levels in one sitting or can you come back later? Do you have to do them in order?

thx for your help

you only need to win one game. then you will get a key. i tried a few different levels - it became quite hard. i didn't got any good item...

I only went did about 5 levels before deciding it wasn't worth using up all my healing potions on. It does reward you with items, some of which I've heard are useful in a part of Fellwood later on. Maybe next run through I'll try to do them all.

@Ripper, that's a room you can only teleport to via the painting on the first floor, as I recall.

What's the deal with Nickedamus [sic]? I've offered to do him a favour in return for the entity's true name, but every time I go see him about it, he says, "Not yet. Soon." (or something like that)

Will he ever collect? I just started Chapter 4 and am entering the Black Raven Monastary.

Oh, yes, he will collect. (Trigger insane, heavily reverberating echo)
