If you do a search on "water jumping puzzle," you'll find numerous threads on the topic.

yeah , that is a blooper of this game.
i can't jump over them without workthrough!

i spend 30 mins to watch, and record the pillars sequence, but i still can't jump over them. according the workthrough, you have to use "time crystal"
into "slow motion" mode, so that you can have enough time to jump and adjust your direction over and over the pillars..

I've gone trough the walk through. read the threads on it. and tried with the time crystals. I've spent hours triing to get through it and getting pissy about it. I'm ready to delete the game right off my pc

Kingston Area

Dodgeman - do NOT delete your game. If you use a Time Crystal JUST BEFORE you go into the room with the pillars, it will allow you to complete the jumps easily. Use the information from the walk-through - don't take time to get the treasures, just go to your right, stand at the edge and wait for the farthest pillar to go down. Then start making your jumps, making sure to turn carefully on each pillar to make your next jump. You might consider saving your game before you use the time crystal - then if you don't make it the first time, you can just re-load and try again. Believe me - I am NOT that great at jumping stuff and I made it the first time just fine. Enjoy!

To: dodgamen:

Don't Give Up!
Don't delete this game!
I was beaten here 3 days ago,

as N2Katz said, use time-crystal before you enter this room, if you fail, get out this room and use time-crystal again, when you pass it you will get a lot of fun from it !

it is a special feature of this game, and maked me impressed.

OK, i got it, i will try

i am not sure if it would work at DL1.4 (Traditional Chinese version) .

well heres hoping lol

demigame · Post by **demigame** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 6:51 pm

sorry my friend, it didn't work.

my chinese version can't read/load your english file.

><..

by the way i use savefile editor to see your character, you play a low-level fighter, how did you go to shadow ruin without complete other mission before ?
it is danger for a low-level character in shadow ruin.

well, i descripe the walkthrouth careful again...
when you enter the main room, you will see a knight and three ghost attack him. in the main room you can see two shadow door, left and right.
right door direct you to that damn trap.
so here is our plan...

you run to the left door ,ignore the knignt and ghosts,
when you enter left door, use the "time crystal" , it take you 5-6 seconds and you become slow motion..
NoW , run back to main door, and go ahead to right door ! with slow motion.
When you enter right door, you will see 4 damn pillar sink down slowly,
move your ass to right corner,don't worry , you will have enought time to see 4 pillars sink down.
Prepare Yourself!

when you see first pillar raise up, jump to it rightnow !
then wait 1.5 second see second pillar raise up jump to it! (you will also see 3,4 pillar raise up) just control your mouse and keyboary to jump to 3 and 4 pillar.

If you Fail, don't worry, just head back to Left door ! you MUST enter left-door, so that right-door trap will all reset pillar sequence !!!

if you use time crystal in main room, then you will not much time and sequence in right-door trap.

good luck my friend.

thanks for trying to get it to work on your DL, As for my character I never relised that it was a low level fighter. I've been able to get what ever was needed to get to the shadow realm, so what should have been done before?

demigame · Post by **demigame** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 6:43 pm

well, i use savefile editor to see a fighter with low level of fight,defend skill.
i don't know , it may be a error .
for entering shodow ruin, we have to get shadow crystal, for that we have to enter skulldon to get a tree symbol, if we finish this, i remember we should have level up to 8 skills on fight(light weapon,heavy weapon .....)

whatevey, did you try again to cross that damn pillar?

dodgeman78 · Post by **dodgeman78** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 6:54 pm

I got all that stuff, and no not yet. just working on a couple of things

pillar puzzle help

Hello. Well, I see you still are having an issue with the water jumping puzzle. I know, I've cursed silently many times over this one lol! I will just let you know how I pass it, and hopefully it will help, even thought it's about the same thing you've been hearing. I am the elf character, and I probably have my athletics up to 7 or 8 by now. What I do is right when I enter the puzzle area, I run to the right corner. RIGHT when the last pillar submerges, start jumping, don't even worry if you don't see the others coming up yet. They will catch you, and RIGHT when you hit the next one, turn and jump to the next. You must do this extremely fast and carefully, so the shadow gate on the other side doesn't dissapear. If it does, then just keep trying until you get there, just make sure you jump to the next pillar RIGHT AWAY. I haven't ever used a time crystal, I've done it regular...but I'm sure the crystal would be helpful too. And if it still doesn't work you can send me the link to your game, and I can get you past.

Altar of Shadows

Ok...so I FINALLY made it through the jumping pillars section, only to be frustrated again! I have 3 shadow stones, but can't place them on the Altar of Shadows.....am I doing something wrong?? I've clicked on all 3 stones in my inventory, hoping one of them would work, but none of them do!. Hoping someone can help!! I would love to get on with the game. (Thumbs down to the jumpiong section....took me forever....guess I am not as coordinated as I thought I was!)

Have you looked at our [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/dungeonlords/walkthrough.php"]walkthrough[/url]? There are lots of places in the Shadow Ruins to jump, and a lot of shadow crystals to collect, and I can't tell where you are. If you're in the final area, then you should only have two shadow crystals, and they should activate the altars in the corners. Clicking on the crystals won't do anything; you'll need to use the altars.

Also, please don't post the same question in multiple threads.

Altar of Shadows

I apologize for posting on 2 different threads....I am just frustrated. I have looked at the walkthrough several times. In the walkthrough it says to place a shadow stone on the altar. And I have 3 shadow stones. The walkthrough didn't tell me anything more then to place the shadow stone onthe altar. I have tried every angle on the altar, walked all around it, and nothing.
