    Here is a complete list of the valid combinations:

    Triangle Green Medium > Storm Star +3 (Cespenar can upgrade)
    Blue Green Long > Gain Magic Res.
    Circle Blue Long > +1 INT
    Square Blue Short > +1 DEX
    Red Green Short > +1 CHA
    Circle Square Triangle > +1 WIS
    Circle Red Long > +1 CON
    Square Short Medium > +1 STR
    Triangle Red Medium > Exit to next level

    Note: You can only do the Stat bonuses ONCE.

    If you enter in an INVALID combination, you get some really bad random
    effects (well, mostly bad):

    10% chance to gain a Potion of Superior Healing.
    10% chance to get 100,000 experience (only for whoever used it)
    10% chance to become Imprisoned (bad if it's your main character)
    10% chance for 50 fire damage
    10% chance turned to stone (bad if it's your main character)
    10% chance to lose 1 INT
    10% chance for 75 lightning damage
    10% chance to be poisoned
    10% chance to lose 15 levels
    10% chance to lose 1 DEX

    Anyway, use the machine's Triangle, Red, Medium combination to open up
    the portal to the next level.

    [​IMG] Cool, and thanks for that. But one question remains....how'd you find out all of these effects, did you just sit there and try everything? or did you find it somewhere, or would you prefer not to answer that.

    There are clues all through the dungeon, notes left by lum the mad. 'The beautiful people are...' and then the instructions on how to use the machine.

    The thing is that you start finding these notes from level1.By the time you reach l4 you will propably waste them as they dont appear to have any use.
