I've been wandering around the Mt. Zulle trial castle flipping switches and trying to open doors for hours now! I'm sure completing the quest is super-simple, but my frustration is getting the better of me! It's so early in the game and I feel silly! I read everyone's replies to Pip's question on the topic, but I can't get into that room above the room with the bull. Could someone post a step by step from the beginning (entering the castle)? Which switches need to be flipped in which order? I would be eternally grateful! Many thanks everyone!

there is no room above the bull one

the trial is not that hard if you apply the following rule: pull all levers ON, except the only one in the bull room that lock you in. make sure not to miss any lever but this one.

Thanks a bunch! I finally finished the trial YAY! After the first hour passed and I was still in there, I started thinking that the levers had to be pulled in a special order, but as you said, all have to be "on" except that certain one in the bull room! I just have to remember not to get myself frazzled next time or I'll complicate things for myself! LOL

Congratulations!!!

Yeah a lot of games taught you to try combinations with levers (such as ON-OFF-ON lol) but in my games usually you have to switch them ON to keep going. The trial was no exception.

stuck in trial building...opened all switches except the one at bottom where bull was, everything else opened, now what? Walking around and killing and raising points! Confusing at this point[size=150]

[/size] cannot go anywhere or get out? do I quit or just keep raising my points? brain162

Brian, make sure you thoroughly explore the castle. In my case there was one switch I hadn't flipped ON, which kept me from getting inside a room with another switch that had to be flipped ON. Once all the switches are flipped ON (except for the one that closes the door behind you in the bull room - leave that one off!), the door to the pink crystal opens! I spent a lot of time in the trial too and had to kill tons of undead, but it gave me lots of experience, so it's a good thing! Let us know if/when you get through!

I am pretty sure the levers have to be turned on in the order listed below. This is just from my memory so please post if I am missing something. Hope this helps!

1. Turn the lever on in the room where the bull is (east from the witch at the entrance).
2. Turn back around (head west). Past the bunny is the crossroads with the big pillar. From there go south, at next pillar go east. At the end of the corridor a room should be open with a lever.
2. Retrace your steps again, heading west and then back north at the pillar. You will be at the crossroads with the big pillar again. Head north. You will come to a room with a guard standing next to a gate with a red rug. Take the path at the bottom right of the room (just to the right from where you came in). You will find two levers in this area - one right one you enter and one all the way at the end of the corridor.
3. You can now enter the room below the room where the bull was. Turn that lever on.
4. The room with the crystal should now be open.
