Thread: That goddamn lamp floor    

So, assuming that this isn't glitched, we might as well try to get some info going.


We entered with 6 people, and the rune was in an L-shaped hallway. With a total of 4 lamps in the map, and ANY lighting order, none would stay up for more than a few seconds and wouldn't let us advance no matter what.

Sometimes after activation, one to three lamps would remain lit, but seemed to have no effect wrt the order they should be lit in. We tried lighting them all at the same time as well, to no avail.

I know that there's one where all members of assault have to touch the lamp at the same time--could it be that all members have to touch a lamp to "light" it, then everyone moves in a group at the same time to light them in order?


Known variants of "light the lamp":

Light one lamp: Everyone needs to gather around a single lamp, touch it at the same time. Voila, victoly is yours.

Light all lamps simultaineously: Just drop one person on each lamp and one at the rune and turn them all on at once.

Light all lamps in order: You're screwed.

When I did it, we lit the lamps and it said (paraphrased):

"All lamps are lit, but there must be another factor preventing the activation of the Rune of Transfer"

So, it confirms we're not missing any lamps or improperly lighting them since it said they're all lit. But it didn't explain what the "other factor" is.

Wear jailer weapons when you check them

My group got stuck on this floor as our first one (>.>), this is all I could figure out within our time..


There appears to be two steps to the lamps.......

Step 1 - All lamps must be activated first

Step 2 - Said lamps must now then be hit in the correct order.


Next part is some speculation on my part...

From there, if you hit the a lamp, it'll give a Confirming message, if it's the right lamp, all four should stay on, then you go figure out which one is next in the order (trial & error)....if it's wrong, yours will still stay on (well actually, it seemed pretty random if it stood on or not), and the others' will turn off, and you all have to re-activate them and try again...

Hope that helps anyone.

rofl i really died laughing when i read that

We noticed though when lighting lamps, there seemed to be 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. mobs in each room with the lamps. Could this be a clue as-to the order they're supposed to be lit in?

Going to go again tonight and see what I can dig up.

I can't promise it'll be as good as my Fanfir one

Each member stood at a lamp (there were 5) we took turns seeing who would activate first (basically dumb luck) If the lamp stays on, it was lit in the correct order with all following ones being incorrect. You need to guess (oir somehow decipher the correct order - maybe that mob order is right) until it works out. If you mess up, just light them all up they'll turn on then off again and it'll be reset, then try to activate in a diff order til you get it.

Yeah, just did my 2nd & 3rd runs today, and apparently that is how it works, just it's stupid in terms of doing such a puzzle as a full PT since some people just like to touch things without asking and not listening...

we just had that lamp floor thats causing all the chaos

we only did 1 test run and got to second floor and it was this lamp floor... 4 lamps and 1 rune

we tried to light the lamps at different intervals.. it seemed sometimes 3 would come on and the 4th wouldnt activate saying something like "must be activated in order"

i think it was people who were clicking when not supposed to screwing the order up

is there a solution, i read the above threads but i didnt get it

Last night our group managed to complete the "Activate in the correct order" lamp floor. We got lucky in the fact that we only had 3 lamps to deal with in a 6 man group.

First off we put one person at each lamp, one at the rune, and the other 2 on sleeping mobs. We had one person, member(#1), click their lamp first followed by the other two members in succession. All the lamps turned on for a few seconds then shut off, except for #1's. This told us that #1's lamp is first in the order(we werent really paying attention to who went 2nd and 3rd on the first lighting, so we probably had done 1 > 2 > 3 the first try).

Rember, even though the lamp appears to be lit, it still has the option to light again. Next we had #1 light his lamp, followed by member(#2), followed by member(#3). The lamps lit up for a few seconds then all turned off. So that order was incorrect. I think this means that if you get the order wrong twice in a row the correct lamps wont stay lit up. Finally we went 1 > 3 > 2, all the lamps lit up and after a few seconds we got the floor clear message.

Although we only had 3 lamps I believe that the lights that stay up mean they were turned on in the correct order. EX: 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 -incorrect but lamps 1 and 3 stay lit- then if you were to go 1 >3 > 4 > 2 you should get the floor clear message. Hopefully someone can try this out on a floor with more lamps to make sure it works.

(Having everyone on Team Speak makes this alot easier too 8) )
