Outpost at Burning Sands

Post by Dragonlady »

Inside there is a temple (looks like) area with a switch near a gate (northwest side) and another gate opposite side. Pull the switch and behind you 2 eye creatures appear. Those gates never open nor can the switch be moved back after the first move. Standing next to the southern gate (X=51 &=137) on the map. Is there a way to open those gates? Or was it just a trick to get the 2 monsters inside? Just curious as I've finished the game and will be starting over soon with different character. :)

Do you mean the lighthouse? (Or is there something else I might have missed??)

Yes, the lighthouse...I think..gads! My mind is slipping. I'm pretty sure that is what it is, just what I scribbled down on a piece of paper at the time I did the XY coordinents.

It is the outpost of the burning sands, there is a sign to say so as you enter it, I also want to know about this wall ( passage has been closed, you'll have to find another way around, inside there.. I never found another way to do it.... the reward for that entire place is just like 500 XP or something... appears a bit strange, maybe I missed something?

So yeah,,, if you open those gates maybe you can get behind that strange wall too?? anyone did??

The lighthouse is suppose to be part of add-on quest when BW gets around to completing it. But you can go to the top of the lighthouse and flick the lever to turn on the lights for XP. Also you can quick travel from the top of the lighthouse. The lighthouse also has a boat which does nothing right now, but in the expansion we will be able to row out to an island to do some high-level adventuring.

Okay, went back to make sure for myself. Seems I forgot that the lighthouse & outpost were the same.
As far as I can tell, those two doors can't be opened (similar to the walled up passage in the upper righthand area).

Okay, thanks. Sometimes I know there were tricks to get things open or illusional walls.

Now can I set my mind on rest.
I had the same thoughts and tantalized my brain what the hell I missed, which had maked the boat going out.
