HINTS For Level 2:
"Labyrinths of Legalism"

T he following hints are in the approximate order of the level. The BIG -- "give-away" -- hints must be read backwards (ie. So LOOK HERE = EREH KOOL). 

You need to search and map out the area. Use your map (with TAB key) and zoom it out (+ and - keys). One clue is that you are getting near the exit of the Twisty Maze when you find the lead pipe on the ground. 

You need to find a scroll, find a lead pipe and then find the exit. You should also find at least one rock (see below). It is strongly advised to not enter the turnstile maze until you have all these items.

I cannot find the exit to the Twisty Maze. How do I get out of here?

The exit is near where you find the lead pipe. If you enter an area and then look on the map and the walls are hidden, then you are getting close. Beware though because one-way walls will trick you! Also, the exit to the Twisty Maze leads into the Turnstile maze.
If you're really stuck. check out this map. Exit Twisty Map. All of the walls on the map are shown, where on your map, some will be invisible.

This maze can indeed be frustrating, but you need to get your bearings straight. One way is to find some rocks in the Twisty Maze and use them as guidepoints. You can drop them or throw them and notice where they are. One sly way to track your position is to drop a rock and then use your map (TAB key) and notice where the object is.

Also, you should be able to go in a few rooms into the maze by keeping track of where the exit is really dark (compared to the other exits). Wait until you get some rooms in before you drop an object.

One other hint -- don't throw your pipe...only drop it. Otherwise it could get lost.

(Big Hint: MOOR ENO TFEL EHT OT TSUJ DNA ECNARTNE EHT MORF DAEHA THGIARTS SI TIXE EHT)

Still Stuck? This can be one of the most frustrating places. Click here for extra help.

You can find ways around them to make it easier, but these are not avoidable.

You must find some way of stopping it. Perhaps something to block it? (Big Hint: ROOD EHT TA EPIP DAEL EHT WORHT)

You can't. But you don't have to be crushed. (Big Hint: UOY SDRAWOT GNIMOC TRATS SLLAW EHT RETFA PUKCAB) 

You need to find a way to make a bridge. There is a "lever" somewhere nearby. (Big Hint: LLAW RAF EHT NO NAIHC TSEHTRAF EHT LLUP).

You need to jump on the levers and figure out how they work. You should save your game before you try this because it can be difficult. A clue as to where to go...somewhere near the far corner.

To stop the cage from falling, you need to find a switch...the switch can be found on the outer wall. (Big Hint: TI HSUP DNA KCOLB LLAW DEROLOCSID A ROF KOOL)

You can find a switch to turn this off...it is on the floor. (Big Hint: GNILIEC NWOD-PORD EHT EROFEB THGIR KCIRB ROOLF DEROLOCSID A ROF KOOL)

You need to find a switch too...it is also on the floor. (Big Hint: EROFEB THGIR KCIRB ROOLF DEROLOCSID REHTONA ROF KOOL)

You should jump on the standing and stationary platforms right before the trap exit door. (Big Hint: MROFTALP TSEHTRAF EHT OT TEG UOY LITNU ESOHT NO PMUJ) 

The lever that is after the falling ceiling and crushing walls is a red herring -- meaning it is a false one. (Big Hint: REVEL LAER EHT DNIF OT LLAW EHT DNIHEB OG)

You must navigate around the maze and find the way out. Use the 2-D Map (hit TAB) to see it more clearly. 

You can find two scrolls here. Search high and low.

No, you are not trapped. You can find an elevator that will take you up to the maze.

You need to determine which ones to follow and which ones not to follow. You can experiment to learn, but you should learn quickly otherwise it can be very difficult.

Where is the scroll here?

It can be found in the river. You need to find a secret opening...(Big Hint: MEHT HGUORHT YAW EHT DNIF DNA THGIR REWOL EHT OT NWOD KOOL NEHT ,SRAB EHT OT TEG UOY NEHW .TI OTNI TFEL OG ,REVIR TSRIF EHT TA)

How do I get out of the desert area?

You need to follow the right signs. If you do, you can escape. You will get a few hints that you are following the right signs. (Big Hint: MEHT ERONGI -- GNORW ERA DER NI SNGIS EHT ,THGIR ERA KCALB NI SNGIS EHT).

Make sure you get close to a sign as you follow it. There are hidden little eyes in each sign :), knowing whether you are following it. They can only see so far.

This level has several secret areas. Here are some clues:
    - the trap dungeon has a few, while the trap room has none.
    - the rules maze has a few; think water and look carefully.

You can find a valuable weapon in the trap dungeon. Search behind and around every place. (Big Hint: RATLA REYARP A RAEN SI TI)
