You are gonna electrocute Ciro, you know?

That wont do anything.

Okay. Notice all the numbers we're getting end in 2. That's probably because we're on DL2, and the coordinates work something like X, Y, Z. Or Y, X, Z, except we've gotten 6 in the first number and the grid is only 4 deep.

So when we said Find, it was telling us that whatever it's finding is directly to the right of that M.
Pre-entry keypoint is the rightmost space we've visited this level. Was that where we found Yaos?
Read-only keypoint is where we are right now. That makes sense- we can't modify anything, only examine it.
Up keypoint is in the upper lefthand corner. That's the stairs up, presumably.
Warp is saying that... the lowest lefhand corner has a warp point to the rightmost space we've visited? Maybe that's why bosses were raining from the sky- they were warping in from elsewhere on the same level.

In other words, this command line is just a finder-thingy for other thingies. We can guess at some of them (way up, this command prompt) and aren't quite sure about others (target of Find command).

So. Try Find> again to make sure it's not shifting around. Then try deldir>, the only command we haven't tried yet.

Spoiler: computer stuff (click to show/hide)

Coordinates are X,Y,Z
X being 1-6 from West to East
Y being 1-4 from North to South
Z being the dungeon level

So, the way up is the room in the NW corner of the map.
The room where we had the soul battle is pre-entry. I don't have a theory as to what that means.
This point is labelled read-only. It follows that this terminal is only capable of giving information, not changing things. Although deldir seems out of place if that's the case. Unless del doesn't mean delete. But we can't safely test that without the ability to make a new directory.

Curses, it's not DOS!

It's DOS-like, though. Let's try

Code: [Select]

MKDIR> for shits and giggles

Yes, I'm obsessed with computer puzzles.

But since we seem to have moved on to the lightning bolt,  let's push the base to the room with the one eyed statue.

[Xanmyral]

...Huh, so warp actually warps from one room to another. So seems we just warped something from the bottom left corner of the map to the room Yaos was in. Weird.

Anyway, don't touch the statue. Summon plant matter to touch it, from a very far safe distance.

[IronyOwl]

On further analysis, Yaos' room was directly to the left of the M, not the rightmost space we've visited.

Currently trying to figure out what that room was, but, uh...

On YET FURTHER investigation, the rightmost room we've visited IS INDEED the room where we found Yaos. I got confused by finding Yaos battling something elsewhere.

So yes, the Warp thing might be why bosses were raining from the sky. It's likely that Yaos' weapon is indeed in the upper righthand corner, too, and that's what the console is Finding.


tl;dr untold power likely awaits us if we can beat that wisp boss. "Untold" being relative, I'm sure.

[Brawler Mouse]

If this is read only, than there is hope for DOS fun-time! I can't believe I didn't see that.

Try pushing the base across the floor

Can you move the base it's on? Maybe push it into the water.

(DUMB FIGHTER STRENGTH: Unavailable) You can't seem to move the base. It's fixed in place.

Create plantmatter gloves!

You are gonna electrocute Ciro, you know?

Have Goombess touch it!

You cast Growth on your hands, but casting the spell only creates some useless plant matter at your feet. Meanwhile, you send Goombess to go touch the Lightning Bolt Thingy. She immediately feels a zapping sensation upon touching it and takes 4 Elec damage.

So. Try Find> again to make sure it's not shifting around. Then try deldir>, the only command we haven't tried yet.

Well, I think we're done here. Go peek into the room on the left.
