Whoa ... jebus. I made it down to some level that looked like a vault but it was big, and had a spiral area I walked down where there were like a dozen poison dart traps. Suddenly I was massively poisoned, losing 10-15 points every few seconds. I had to go through all of my restore potions and most of my healing potions before it all wore off. The mini-map was weird too, the walls showed but where it's normally black, it was red. What he hell did I just step in, and how do I get it off my shoes?
*New game, Hero level *ALL Options are checked/on, except for "autohide stats" Am rebooting now and will try to recreate...
The game auto saves only when you exit the game or go to a new map. After you entered the level, but before you crashed, did you exit at anytime? If not then you starting over and the level having all the fog back is exactly what should have happened. Also, have you been using your iPod or safari before starting sof? I'm noticing slowdown due to me exiting and checking the forums. I'm using a 3gs so a lower generation would probably crash (max performance was NOT on)
Hmm, I'm not an expert but... it sounds like you walked into a spiral poison dart trap vault. That's just a guess though, really.
Well that's not like any damn vault I ever heard of. Where's the loot? The swag? The beautiful women eager to do my bidding?
I have been playing SoF without exiting, quitting, etc.. I have not received any incoming calls or texts. It is a brand new 3GS, 16gb, with the latest OS. I rebooted my phone and can still recreate this crash every single time. Oh, I mistakenly called them elvin guards - they were dwarven guards I kill them both, pick up one of their shields, pull the lever, and the game crashes in 2 or 3 seconds - I don't even have to move or interact with the game after pulling the switch...
Two questions: 1.) Are you not able to flee / runaway from every monster encounter? Because I have tried to runaway from several encounters now and the attacks continue for about 5 rounds. 2.) Is there a way to tell what the monster is before attacking it? Hero mode is way to easy after playing on legendary and legendary is total luck of the draw. Half the time I spend rolling to get decent stats so I am not 1 hit killed from opening a chest or almost always start off in a 2x2 room with one tunel leading out of it and a powerful / vetran in the tunnel leading to the next room.
It's great that you can reproduce this... free QA for me! Can you try this: 1. Just the lever, don't touch the shield 2. Just pick up the shield, no lever Also... can you move at all after the lever is flipped? I will try to reproduce this here... could be some weird shield pickup flip lever sequence thing, heh.
I found the temple, if that is what you mean. Each dungeon level seems to have 4(?) large areas/maps, right? I had just started a new game, and am in the first map of the first dungeon. I have largely cleared that first map when I get to the alcove with the 2 dwarven guards and the vault lever.
Wow, just found a screaming shield made of bones! Replaced another cool shield of spikes with it. Hope, I didn't make a wrong choice.... love them both. The bone shield was behind a secret door with a glowing sign. Damn, it's just like reading a completely new book. So exciting! Great adventure!
Glowing sign? Where'd you see a glowing sign? You have some kinda magic active? Anyway, I found that shield too. It's cool. When human enemies give it a whack it screams and freaks them out, though appears not to have any lasting effects. I've noticed sometimes that it freaks you out, too.
Tried 1. above Killed 2 dwarven guards Did not pick up their shields Activated lever walked away/continued exploring SoF crashed after 2 or 3 seconds
Shield of spikes is better IMO. When enemies hit the shield they also take damage! Mindfield: he might have something lime the Lion's eye, Dragon's eye, or something like that.
The fear effect does have an effect... it reduces battle skill, and fearful enemies can't attack. Not all enemies... Those don't help with secret doors, but something else does... MYSTIFIED YET!?
That's really odd. Could you send me a screenshot of the vault/map area or something? Also, what if you kill the guards but don't touch the lever at all?
As long as I don't interact with the lever, the game seems to be fine. Pull the lever, and the game crashes within 3 - 10 seconds. Will be glad to send screenshots - press action and power buttons at same time, right? Once I've done that, how do I get them to you?
Really, a glowing sign in the middle of the wall/secret door. Had it two times in the same green spooky dungeon. Much new stuff to explore
