Conflux/Places/Path of Tao: Difference between revisions

The path of Tao is a set of corridors, pits and stairs linking the Temple to the Sewers and Spiders area.

From the Purple Circle of Invocation, there is an hidden area occupied by a group of Antman. Once cleared, look for an altar nearby hiding a key. Use it on the key hole at {2,31,10} to open a pit underneath your feet !
The platform you land on at {3,31,10} has another pit southwards the party needs to enter.
At {4,31,11}, there is a single key with a choice of 2 doors, one north, one south. Either door involves the same challenge.
Quickly clear the path of Black Flame and Water Elementals to reach the stairs down to safer spots.
If the party chose the northern door, you must navigate south (and vice versa). Either way, the party will reach a platform with an altar and stairs to the east.
Solve the altar riddle to claim your acquired wisdom.
To exit the path of Tao, proceed south to a Ra door which can only be opened from this side. A golem awaits inside. Once defeated, you can use the newly available connections.

Completing the path via the Purple Circle of Invocation may reward the party with wisdom and a flask.
The path has shortcuts to linked areas

A fake wall behind the Fountain L links the path to the Spiders area.
Stairs at {6,28,31} climb back to the Path of Tao on the Temple level. There is a destroyable statue on level 3 which hides a passage at {3,29,30} to the south of the Sewers. That area has yet another hidden passage at {3,27,27} that leads to the Black Crypt.
