The Ancient Buried Pyramid is located in the Desert Beach, and opens up as a part of the level 11 quest, the Quest for the Holy MacGuffin. The Pyramid consists of the sub-zones:
Messages
Before getting the Staff of Ed:
- You step inside the small pyramid, to find, just as your father described, a cunningly-carved wooden scale model of Seaside Town. The level of detail is stunning -- if you lived there, you'd be able to see your house from here. By now.
- A small socket in the stone floor, at the edge of the model, appears to be where you're supposed to put the Staff of Ed. Supposedly, sunlight will pass through the gem at the top of the staff, and be focused onto a specific location on the model, showing you where the ancient pyramid is buried beneath Seaside Town. Neat.
- Guess you'd better commence to getting that staff, then.
After getting the Staff of Ed:
- You step inside the small pyramid, to find, just as your father described, a cunningly-carved wooden scale model of Seaside Town. The level of detail is stunning -- if you lived there, you'd be able to see your house from here. By now.
- You locate the socket on the floor where the Staff fits, and plug it in. Sunlight streams in through a hole in the wall and hits the Eye of Ed, which focuses the light into a concentrated dot on the model. You move closer to the model to find exactly where the dot, and therefore the buried pyramid, lies, and... sniff, sniff... is that smoke?
- Suddenly, the model bursts into flames and is quickly consumed, leaving behind a pile of ash and a large hidden trapdoor. You open the trapdoor to find a flight of stone stairs, which appear to descend into an ancient buried pyramid.
- Well, that wasn't quite what you expected.
References
- "If you lived there, you'd be able to see your house from here. By now." is a reference to the commonly-used sales pitch for apartments and condominiums, "If you lived here, you'd be home by now."
- When you mouse over the Lower Level of the Pyramid, a different message will display depending on how the rooms are arranged. The first stage in which you can obtain the Token says "Phase 1: Token", the second stage in which you obtain the bomb says "Phase 2: ???", and the third stage in which you use the bomb says "Phase 3: Profit!"
