If you guessed that the machine of Lum the Mad is the key to reaching the fifth floor of Watcher’s Keep, then you’re absolutely right. Unfortunately, we can’t access the controls due to Carston trapping himself within the contraption by the seemingly indestructible glass he conjured forth during his initial examination of it. While no weapon we have can break it, there’s something specifically designed to break the glass hidden away on this level behind the torch puzzle and a few more encounters that hopefully won’t be too tricky.

Once we have access to the controls, opening up the fifth level isn’t difficult at all. The true fun comes from all the other things you can do with the machine, some good and most terrible. Throughout the keep we’ve been collecting small notes that certain combinations and a vague description of what they’ll do. We’ll certainly be inputting those as well as a couple others that I remember from my previous playthrough, all to gain some really potent benefits. As for trying out other, random combinations, let’s just say that rarely ends well.
