Deleted Text[edit]

If you hit the wrong switch it is possible to trap yourself between two gates without any way to get out. The switch is near the entrance to The Palace Sewers (in the second closest main area).

If I know the place being referred to by this note, then you're never actually trapped. In that area there are two switches, one controls the Slough Gate and one controls the door you just entered through. If you go through and automatically hit every switch you find once, then you'll end up opening the Slough Gate (allowing you to go forward to the room before the Palace Sewers entrance) and closing the door behind you. But you're not trapped. All you need to do is activate the switch next to the closed door one more time, and the door will open. I can't see any way that you would end up being trapped by those two gates, because both of the switches are accessible at all times. --NepheleTalk 21:54, 5 June 2007 (EDT)

There is a way to be trapped because I just did it. I hit the switch near the boss chest B to close (raise) the slough gates at D and E and then quickly ran through to the area between C and D. Now I cannot open the gate at C because it can not be picked and needs a key and I can't lower the slough gates at D because they are controlled remotely (near B). I'm trapped, for real. — Unsigned comment by 68.62.88.115 (talk) at 01:21 on 6 August 2011 (UTC)
It is also possible to become permanently trapped between gates "H" and "I," by activating the Turn Wheel next to gate "H" and then running through the door before it closes. That makes two definite areas in this map where one may become permanently trapped. — Unsigned comment by 71.135.169.229 (talk) at 11:27 on 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Note for the OPRP contributors[edit]

I just corrected the OPRP tag and removed the following text from the tag: Map also needs to be updated: sluice gates are missing from the map. At first glance, the map appears to be complete, so I'm not really sure what this is referring to; however, it is worth mentioning here, just in case. --Krusty 09:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
