Miners Deep level 5 help

[Visstar]

Well curse me for a novice. I never even considered that the words might be symbols for the colors. I though they were just for mood.

Well done solving that puzzle!!

Thanks rakenan for helping with the solution.

I think the key is to not go down previously closed routes since that will restart the puzzle. For example, after you get the message to open blue and close green (forests are burned) you then need to move along blue routes to get to the message that opens red and closes white. Now you need to travel through blue and red routes (white will be closed; but you must avoid all green) to get to the next floor. Also save your game frequently to avoid having to restart due to a mistake.

Good points rwb. Does that mean you made it to 6? I see that my old map was not extremely clear about the solution.

When facing the ladder down, go to the right, avoiding the teleports, follow the tunnel east and north and kick west. You'll find a hidden door that lets you access the ladder.

After level 5, level 6 was a breeze!

Yes, I got to 6 and I’m all done with Miner’s Deep as far as I know; thanks!

Miner's Deep was a B*tch! I don't think I ever went back!! There are four great things to find, as I recall (two essential). As long as you got the staff and used it to get the essential item from the Chamber of Storms, you can proceed, but if you missed the Boots of Speed and Ring of Force (or Gloves of Force, I forget) you will want to go grab them.
