What do I do in this place?
  • 1 of 4: First, talk to the old man in the booth.
  • 2 of 4: It seems that this is a ranger testing ground, but you can run the course for practice if you aren't on the ranger promotion quest (but there's absolutely no point in it).
  • 3 of 4: To pass the challenge, you have to use the timer levers and then hurry past the obstacles before the time is up. Also, you have to do it without setting off any traps, or it doesn't count.
  • 4 of 4: Questions about individual challenges follow. Remember to use save and restore frequently to make it through this.
