How do I open the underwater locked door in the east section?
  • 1 of 8: Stop it from being underwater.
  • 2 of 8: Go to one of the two southern bath rooms that Colloidal Warriors were (or are) in and find an underwater shaft that leads down.
  • 3 of 8: Go down it to reach the lower level of the bathhouse.
  • 4 of 8: Once you're down there, use the game's map display to help you find the passage leading east.
  • 5 of 8: Take it, and you'll end up in a room with a platform and a lever.
  • 6 of 8: Climb up the little ladder on the platform and use the lever.
  • 7 of 8: Then return to the main bathhouse level, and you'll find that the door you're interested in is openable.
  • 8 of 8: Behind it are three treasure chests plus a black chest (requires a level 5 expert in Disarm Trap), but there are also several powerful Demons and Colloidal Warriors you have to deal with.
