In-Depth Information
As with most plot-advancing events, this one is important, not for what it does internally, but for the information
that it gives the player. Thanks to the village elder, the player learns that the castle inhabited by the mysterious dark
master used to be home to the king of the western lands. At the end of the conversation, we flip on the ElderTalk
switch, which allows the player to find the secret passage within the temple.
The Temple of Rocksdale
I used the Temple sample map to create the area in question. I erased the side sections, leaving only the central
portion. In addition, I changed the style of the temple walls and the pillars to give a rustic feel. The secret passage is
visible in Figure 12-3 , but there's another event that may not be as easy to see. I placed a Same As Characters/Action
Button event on the statue's lower half. If the player interacts with the statue, he/she will be teleported to Seaside.
Where exactly? Take a look at Figure 12-4 , to see.
