The Pit: Backup Generator

From DDO wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Backup Generator[edit]

First, notice that outside the door there are glowing Pit signal crystals: When you first reach here, these should be yellow, indicating this is your current objective.


When you enter the Backup Generator room, you will be attacked by 5 Ochre Jellies. Exploring the room reveals teams of Troglodytes:

Troglodyte Team (3)
1 Juibless Apprentice (caster)
3 Juibless Devotees

1 team will spawn every minute until you resolve the objective, or until a total of 3 teams have spawned.


The puzzle here consists of 9 switches arranged in 3 rows of 3, like a tic-tac-toe board. The proper combination to turn the backup generator on, is to throw all 4 corner switches and the center one (in any order) making an X of thrown switches.
