Hi there!

I'm trying to figure out if there are any signs to find the right path to the Summoner.
Atm I been looking for the direction the "portal way" is but it's no logic that says, portals left oh then it's the way up of what I've found out so far.

One thing I do know is that there are 4 different types or ways. one with stairs, one with zick-zax way, one with portals and one that's always flat and straight forward.
I'm trying to map out if there is any difference in with the summoner spawn depending on how these ways spawn.

Do anyone know anything about this, if there are other signs to look for like depending on the way the Shire's spawn or does she always spawn randomly?

Thanks in advance

No pattern known. Should you find something, please let everybody knows !

hm that's a shame..

Usually there is something to go after.
For example: Mepp:, teleport counter clockwise, Countess: Keep to you'r left, Nithalak: stairs down always in the opposite corner, usually top left once down look on the patterns on the walls etc etc.

must be something with summoner too...

If you do know anything please post it!

There is nothing that indicates his path. It is all up to chance.

Well how does maphacks work then? They must get the info somehow..

As said befoure there are 4 way's. Stair way, zix-zaxk way, Portal Way and a Flat way.

I prnt scren and have markes them up by the following.

Stais way: S
Zix-zax way: Z
Portal Way: P
Flat Way: F

I sort these out in different folders depending on which way the portal is in order to separate them.

This is what I've found out so far:


Portals Left, Summoner down: Up: Z Right: F Down: S Left:P

Portals Left, Summoner Left: Up: Z Right: F Down: S Left: P

Portals Left, Summoner Up: Up: Z Right: F Down: S Left: P

Portals Left, Summoner Up 2: Up: Z Right: F Down: S Left: P




Portals Down, Summoner Left: Up: F Right: S Down: P Left: Z

Portals Down, Summoner Left 2: Up: F Right: S Down: P Left: Z

Portals down, Summoner Up: Up: F Right: S Down: P Left: Z



Portals Up, Summoner Down: Up: P Right: Z Down: F Left: S

Portals Up, Summoner Down 2: Up: P Right: Z Down: F Left: S

Portals up, Summoner Right: Up: P Right: Z Down: F Left: S

Portals Up, Summoner Left Up: P Right: Z Down: F Left: S



Portals Right, Summoner Up: Up: S Right: P Down: Z Left: F

Portals Right, Summoner Down: Up: S Right: P Down: Z Left: F


Since it dont add up I started looking for other theory's which I've tryed but they dont work either..
For one the F way always have symbols on the platform down/up the left/right side and the Circle 3 times pointed at summoner, the one with the shire on but it did not work the 4th or 5th time so, yet I got nothing..

Random map generation...I do not know the specifics of maphack but it probably just loads the entire map vs what you see before you explore it.

It would be similar to playing a Warcraft/Starcraft map without having fog of war on.

I believe you are looking for a pattern where you will never find one.

If you have enigma, who cares. If not, take the windy path last, and he'll be there. Murphy's law.

I gauge it based on my own personal luck that day
If I'm having shitty luck, then I assume that it will be the last choice I make.
If I'm having good luck, then I assume that it will be the first choice I make.

So then I just order them on instinct and apply the rules to my ordering choices; 7/10 times I find him the first time.

They know the location of the exit (double staircase / platform / portal) of the Arcane Sanctuary, which you do not when you play the game legitimately.

Exploring it as such seems to be a game of chance (no one has yet provided a general pattern or one that works most of the time).

Sledj's Law states: the summoner is always the 4th direction you try
