Neverwinter Nights Hints

How can I get out of the riddle room on level 3?

  • 1 of 13: NOTE: You only end up in this room if you exit level 1 via its southern exit (the one with the yuan-ti who asks you riddles).
  • 2 of 13: To find out what the riddle is, click on the magic statue in the middle of the room.
  • 3 of 13: Dydd, one of your fellow contestants, lies dead near the statue. Check out his journal for a hint.
  • 4 of 13: It's really a simple mathematical number series puzzle, not a complicated "family tree" puzzle.
  • 5 of 13: The numbers you're given are 4, 5, 7, and 11. So what's the next number in the series?
  • 6 of 13: If you calculate what's added each time to get the next number, you'll see that it's +1, +2, and +4.
  • 7 of 13: If you're familiar with simple exponents, you'll recognize those as powers of 2, starting with 2^0 (which equals 1) and going through 2^2 (which equals 4).
  • 8 of 13: The next power would be 2^3, so add 2^3 to 11 to get the next number.
  • 9 of 13: 2^3 + 11 = 8 + 11 = 19.
  • 10 of 13: NOTE: You can also get the next number in the series by multiplying the current number by 2 and then subtracting 3. 11 * 2 - 3 = 22 - 3 = 19.
  • 11 of 13: So find the door with the sign next to it that says "19."
  • 12 of 13: Behind it is an untrapped chest with a key in it.
  • 13 of 13: Get the key so you can open the locked NE door and head north past a tough ghoul ravager to get to the Pillar of Light, where your path joins that of the other route through the challenge.
