Lost Desert Plot Discussion #77 (Summary in First Post)

[Duke of Earl]

lucifer:

How do you map your temple?

If you did it like I did, I used letters for eveyrthing... so black and blue both start with B and I used B for black and U for blue. I did make a few errors of writing B for blue.

Also, since you've found the other 11, look up which symbol is missing and find all the trianglular doors that have that symbol and see if you labled any the same color.

OMG I have an annoying problem. Just completed the mysterious tablet and clicked those symbols in the plot (yeah i'm only there), and as said here I began looking for the statue room. It is "mouth of the river" and "kingdom of the lightgiver" = blue triangle.

So yesterday I began looking for the true blue triangle. I had a total of 11 in my map. Tried all those 11, and of course that none of them fitted. It was then when I found out that I have only 83 rooms in my map, and this statue room must be in the 2 rooms I somehow missed.

This is the problem. SOMEHOW missed. I'm using the grid method, and I'm sure that I didn't miss any room. All those passages are marked (i.e the room they lead to) and I didn't miss any arrow, unless the arrow picture on this page didn't load, which is very unlikely... =\someone has an idea?

When I did my map, I missed a room also. An easy way to find it is to cross check each door. If a door shows it takes you to a room, check that room to make sure it has a door that takes it back to the room you were in. You shouldn't have to actually click in the temple. Just check your map to make sure each door you have labled actually ends in a room that will take you back to that room. I found my missing room when I noticed I had a door labled as going to a room that didn't have a door to take me back. Did that make sense? Not sure it made sense to me either. I know what I want to say, just not sure how to say it.

Similar thing happened to my daughter. In the end, it turns out one room had an right arrow we missed. We ended one of the "chains" one room early.

I checked all my arrows now, and I didn't miss anything. I also checked my map twice to see if I missed a blue triangle, but it seems like I have only 11.

Is that possible? Can I have a false map or something...? Or you have any other idea where can I be wrong?

thanks for your help

[Jedi]

i hate to say it but i think you are going to have to check every room again and double check.

sorry

Heya peeps, it's back to the grindstone. I see that quite a few of the furniture spaces are staying filled, any guesstimates as to when this phase of the plot will be finished?

Hopefully soon cause this is getting boring! The next thing we need to do better be more interesting and fun ...

I am not saying you missed anything. All of my doors were labeled. I just labeled one wrong. If you have a door in room A that says it goes to room R, room R has to have a door that goes back to room A. I found my mistake by checking on my map to make sure all the doors were labeled correctly. It may take awhile, but if all of your doors are labeled, one of them is labeled wrong.

if it is possible to take a screenshot, or otherwise capture your map as an electronic picture, perhaps we might be able to help look too?

omg man THANKS, you are the king!!

I only checked the arrows of the one-room-floors, I didn't think about too short chains!!
So I followed your advice and went to each and every chain-room and checked the arrows.
After checking like 10 chains, when I was really frustrated, I got to a 3-rooms-chain... I began from the left room. One arrow... and second arrow...... AND DAMN THIRD ARROW!! I looked amazed at it, and of course that in the middle of this new room was my little statue room ^^

Thanks a LOT.

(and of course thanks to everyone else, you've been all very helpful)

If you don't want to physically go through your temple yet again, you could create a list of all the color/shape/symbol combinations and go through your map, crossing off the ones you have. If in the end you are missing several combinations, you are indeed missing a room. If you have everything except your blue triangle, it's probably just hiding from you on your map, maybe you mislabeled one door someplace.

This happened to me, and although I was positive I didn't miss a room, I was indeed missing five door combos, an entire room. I double checked everything in my temple and found it.

Nope the ID is on level 2 row 37 col 26 at the moment.
