Last one! How do I make it down this hall full of trapped floor panels?
  • 1 of 6: Throw the lever, then make a run for it.
  • 2 of 6: You can try going around some of the trapped panels, but you'll have to jump most of them.
  • 3 of 6: This is the hardest trial and will probably require many restores and retries. (Or an implementation of the cheat note.)
  • 4 of 6: The only way I was ever able to make it was to run past the first trap tile and then keep right as much as I could while jumping the rest of the way. (I had to swerve left a bit about halfway down just to make the jumps easier, then I went back to the right.)
  • 5 of 6: Once you make it, go through the gate at the end, and you'll be done.
  • 6 of 6: If you're on the ranger promotion quest, talk to the guy at the booth again to finish this part of that quest.
