How do I open these two strange doors south and east of the watery room?
  • 1 of 8: Try using different parts of the doors.
  • 2 of 8: You need to press certain parts of the doors in order to open them.
  • 3 of 8: Notice that they stick out from the wall a little.
  • 4 of 8: You need to push all the blocks on a door back.
  • 5 of 8: But pushing some blocks back pushes others forward at the same time.
  • 6 of 8: That's what's so puzzling about it.
  • 7 of 8: Here's a graphic with one solution. The door has to be in the starting configuration for it to work. Click on the yank-handle near the door to reset it if necessary.
  • 8 of 8: One room contains a regular treasure chest, and the other contains another black chest that requires a level 8 master in Disarm Trap.
