Spellbreaker Hints

I still can't figure out which cube I need.

  • Make sure you have memorized the JINDAK spell three times and the BLORPLE spell once before you begin.

    Exact instructions on determining which cube you need are below.  Don't continue unless you are really stuck.

    When you enter the Outer Vault, you will find six cubes on each pile.  The first pile contains x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, and x6.  The second pile contains x7, x8, x9, x10, x11, and x12.

    1. The first step is to divide the two piles of six cubes into three piles of four cubes.  For the first JINDAK, take two cubes out of each pile, and keep them in your inventory.  TAKE x1, x2, x7, and x8.  (The first pile now contains x3, x4, x5, and x6.  The second pile now contains x9, x10, x11, and x12.)  CAST JINDAK.  Do the piles both glow with the same level of brightness?  If so, read number 2.  If the piles do not glow equally, read number 5.

    2. Replace x3 and x4 in the first pile with x1 and x2. (First pile:  x1, x2, x5, x6.  Second pile: x9, x10, x11, x12.)  CAST JINDAK.  If the piles glow with the same level of brightness, read number 3.  If they do not glow equally, read number 4.

    3. Remove x1 from the first pile and replace it with x7.  (First pile: x7, x2, x5, x6.  Second pile: x9, x10, x11, x12.)  CAST JINDAK.  If the piles glow with equal brightness, BLORPLE x8.  If they do not grow equally, get x7 and BLORPLE it.

    4. TAKE x1.  Put the x7 cube on the first pile.  (First pile: x7, x2, x5, x6.  Second pile: x9, x10, x11, x12.)  CAST JINDAK.  If the piles glow equally, BLORPLE x1.  If they don't, take x2.  BLORPLE it.

    5. Put x1, x2, and x7 on the second pile.  Get x9, x10, x11, and x12.  Put x9 on the first pile, then get x6 and put it on the second pile.  (First pile:  x3, x4, x5, x9.  Second pile:  x6, x1, x2, x7.)  CAST JINDAK.  If the piles glow with equal brightness, read number 6.  If they do not glow with equal brightness, but each pile has the same level of brightness it did after you first cast JINDAK, read number 7.  If they glow opposite of the way they did when you first cast JINDAK, read number 8.

    6. Remove all the cubes from both piles.  Put x10 on the first pile and x11 on the second pile.  CAST JINDAK.  If the piles glow equally, get x12 and BLORPLE it.  If the piles do not glow equally, but each has the same level of brightness it had after you first cast JINDAK, get x11 and BLORPLE it.  If the piles have unequal brightness, but opposite from the way they did when JINDAK was first cast, get x10 and BLORPLE it.

    7. Remove all the cubes from both piles.  PUT x3 on the first pile and x4 on the second pile.  CAST JINDAK.  If the piles glow equally, take x5 and BLORPLE it.  If the piles glow unequally in the same way they did when you first cast JINDAK, get x3 and BLORPLE it.  If they glow in the opposite way, take x4 and BLORPLE it.

    8. Remove all of the cubes from both piles.  Put x6 on the first pile and x1 on the second pile.  CAST JINDAK.  If the piles glow equally, get x9 and BLORPLE it.  If they do not, get x6 and BLORPLE it.
