I wanted to share this with all of my Script UO Buddies:
How many of you have tried the Puzzle Room near the Underworld Entrance; the room just North of where you collect the Acid Sacs for the Quest to enter the Abyss? The first room is easy (the first two puzzles are memorization and the third is somewhat like a game called MasterMind, but the second room, called the Experimental Room, keeps you on your toes as you have to run around to different colored rectangles like a chicken with his head cut off. I call the Experimental Rooms 'Twister on Acid'! I have tried the room 4 times now and can't finish the third room...! (ARGH!)
I have found an easier Puzzle Board room near the "Green Goblin" Lair. There is a room before you get to the Puzzle Board Room that has a compass on the table. The puzzle board is found in the Underworld at coordinates 52o 23'N 17o 47'W. You must navigate a perilous trapped hallway to reach the small room where a strongbox resides. Opening the strongbox will give you a board.
Solving the Puzzle will give you one of the following random rewards:
30 Void Essence
30 Silver Serpent Venom
30 Scouring Toxin
3.0 Scroll of Transcendence of random skill
Moulding Board
Dough Bowl
Horned Totem Pole
Large Square Pillow
Large Diamond Pillow
Dusty Pillow
Statue Pedestal
