    In the area just before the start of Chapter 6 (Area 6201) go to the very top-left of the screen and hold the alt key. You'll see a mini inverted triangle with a red/blue glow (revealing it acts as a door). The only problem is you can't actually explore to see what it actually is..

    Has anyone come across this before???

    It'd be easier to recall if you posted a screenshot... you can add it to an album here on the boards.

    Ok this is weird. At the time, I just thought it was quite frustrating, because I had no idea what it was, although unimportant so I moved on to the next area (entrance to the Severed Hand).

    When I went back to the area to capture a screenshot (because I wasn't smart enough to do it at the time :rolleyes:) it was gone.

    How freaky...

    EDIT: I just cheated to reveal the entire area and the triangle is back again!! I'll quickly edit the 3 screenshots (make them smaller) and post them onto an album!

    Once the map has been revealed, when you place your cursor on top of the inverted triangle, it makes an Arcane cursor (as if you are about to cast a spell). I clicked on it and it led me to the edge of the area, where you exit to the Severed Hand, and came up with this piece of dialogue:

    [​IMG] If you mean the link between AR6201 to AR6200 I seem to remember it was a shortcut left in from when it was tested. Leads to Fields of the Dead barrier.

    No idea what they were testing it for though :lol:

    The second "Fields of Slaughter" area. Right before the Severed Hand.
