    Anyone know how I get past the three guardians on the first level of Undermountain? There are three floor levers there but I've spent 20 minutes pushing them one way then the other and nothing opens the door at the far end of the room.

    Any ideas?

    I'm in the same predicament. I do know that the gargoyles need to be pointing towards the one door so that they all can send a beam of light into it. If you wait before touching them, the gargoyles will turn once on their own, then you can manually continue the turning and get it into position. Once they're in position, then throw the lever to set it in place. Problem is, however, that it seems it's easy to get 2 of them pointing properly, but the third one keeps bypassing the proper setting as you rotate it....all the while those creatures keep spawning doing significant amounts of damage. I've tried it a couple of times, but can't seem to figure out the sequence.

    I spent hours on this before discovering that you could actually rotate the statues by using them - I'd just been randomly flicking the levers. Luckily for me I was a lvl10 RDD so had fire immunity and the creatures never did me any damage :) . I never di work out what the levers did!

    Any way I eventually got it working by being manually rotating the statues as fast as I could. I can't remember using the levers after discovering this.

    Once you manually move the statues by touching them, you pull the level, and they WILL NOT move. That is what the levers do.

    Fade -- I can never seem the get the 3rd gargoyle in position. Is there some special sequence to turning them?

    Ah, got it! I didn't realise you could turn the statues and instead was just trying to flick the levers in different orders in case that was how you opened the door. Quite easy once explained how to do it. :(

    Anyway, I got the door open and... not much really. A very small room with a chest in the middle. Is there anything else in here that I'm missing?

    It just takes time, I had to wait 5 minutes or so to get the last one. If it helps I did them in this sequence when you are facing the door you are trying to break.

    Top, Right, Left.

    Hope that helps.

    Finally... after quite a few tries. All I found was a chest as well (but with 5000 coin!), so I guess that's it!

    [​IMG] For characters with a high Spot skill, there might be something more...

    Anyway, 5000 gold always comes in handy. ;)

    as a side note, if you find secret doors to the room the exploding guys are being made, you can kill the maker, and stop them from dropping on you. Much easier this way, since you won't feel rushed and miss your mark.
