: Okay, take a look at the level "Shiver" in Myth
: II.
Yes, master!
: I just noticed this while I was muckying about in it's
: scripts. Look over near Shiver's camp (way up in the
: North West). First off there's a little cave there (mb
: for a ghol assault originally), but that's not my
: point. What's really interesting is what's behind the
: tents and krids. There's a big wall reminiscent of
: Muirthenme or some other ruined fortress. Behind it is
: a section of scorched earth (you'll have to turn off
: bounded observer to see this). Its got a slight spiral
: pattern and six little "pockets" in the
: ground (only four are really visible because the mesh
: edges are raised and the other two are on the mesh
: "wall"). They seem sort of like the pockets
: that you put crystals into in "Murder of
: Crows," however that didn't have a spiral.
That cave is intriguing, but not really important.
Could there have originally been a fortress around in that area, that was deserted before the great war and TFL? it's possible that many such forts scatter the mythland...and if I were looking to set up a defensible camp, I'd choose and old fort.
As far as the spiral goes, I can only assume that they are a natural phenomenon that Bungie likes to make.
: The spiral reminded me of where Alric was trapped in
: TfL's the "Five Champions" level. I chacked
: and it indeed does bear a resemblance! Perhaps this
: level was originally meant to be in the desert, not
: south of silvermines? But I don't remember those walls
: in the Five Champions....
: What do y'all think?
I think Shiver is one of the more secret-filled levels in Myth 2. There's all sorts of interesting things there, including the things you just mentioned. There's also the warlock's special artifact, which seems awfully out of place, and is never even mentioned in the journal or anything. And the "face" in the upper right-hand corner, and of course, the picture of two ravens attacking a stag about halfway down the left hand side. Everyone remembers the picture of a single raven attacking a stag from five champions, right? :)
