Known Traps

• Bear traps behind the optional puzzle-locked gate.
• The forgewraith area has two trap boxes on the ground floor near the chests.

Tips and Misc

• For the Defeat the Forgewraiths optional, you will need to do some jumping; some wraiths are hiding up.
• You will encounter several locked doors; these can be picked / Knocked, or you need to scout the area for iron and silver keys; they may be hidden in breakable containers.
• Occasionally the dice puzzle may bug and one of the columns wander away from its base, the puzzle will still be solvable. It's a known issue refer to: U42 Preview 3: Cogs Explorer Area and Explorer Dungeons.

The 4 Security codes

Security code "Dice Puzzle" Solutions (step-by-step): (Note: Please give in-depth detailed explanations of how the puzzle functions and not just the solution steps from the initial puzzle state if possible).

• The objective for the Dice Puzzles is to get all the faces showing the same value that corresponds to the figure on a "dice" symbol located nearby.
• The total amount of pips visible within a single puzzle never changes so you must aim to distribute those values evenly.
• The dice faces go from (blank reset) to showing 1-4 pips. Loosely the dice face you step on will "steal" 1 pip from each adjacent dice that touch it in a cardinal direction and add them to its own face value if possible up to maximum face value of 4.
• The two puzzles in the room behind the fiery locked door have control panels that can be disabled. This grants access to their chest, but to complete the optional you will have to actually solve all four puzzles.
