Teleporter



A teleporter is a device that stands out while exploring the Crystal Desert. It will be a large whitish-brown structure, with four switches surrounding the base. If you activate a teleporter (instructions below) and step on its circular platform, it will teleport you to its matching teleporter somewhere else in the desert (usually nearby and possible to see on the map).

To activate a teleporter (alone):
 * Step on the circular platform at the rear.
 * Observe the switches. They will all flash once, and then they will each flash individually in a specific order - pay attention to the order in which they flash. If you miss the order, stay on the circular platform and they will flash again.
 * Step off the circular platform, and click each of the switches in that same order they previously flashed. Note that you will need to allow your character to run to each switch you click before you proceed with clicking the next one; no need to rush. The teleporter will then activate; step on the circular platform to be transferred to the other teleporter it is linked with.

To activate a teleporter (in a party):
 * Have all members but one step onto the circular platform and stay there. (Be careful not to leave the platform, as anyone stepping back on will reset the teleporter, even if it is nearly activated.  If you do step off, wait until the teleporter is activated befroe stepping back on.)
 * The remaining team member should observe the switches as above.
 * The remaining team member should activate the switches as above.
 * All team members on the platform and all henchmen (regardless of location) will teleport immediately.
 * The remaining team member must step onto the platform to teleport.

Once activated, a teleporter stays enabled until you zone from that area or until someone enters another combination; however, they remain active only on the side that you activate, meaning you will need to activate the opposite side to go return to your initial location.

Warning: Often, the other teleporter will be surrounded by monsters, so make sure to be ready and get the whole party to the other side quickly. A good idea is to have the rest of the party stand on the circular platform as you flip the switches; all of them will be teleported immediately as soon as you click the last switch. Then, run onto the platform and teleport yourself.

Note that having more than one player attempting to activate a teleporter at once will likely result in confusion and frustration; the group should decide on one person only who will activate the teleporter (or perhaps somebody to stand on the platform to enable the switches, and another to click the switches in the right order).
