There seems to be a glitch with one of the rooms in the four portals on level 4. In "Tide and Time", the initial puzzle requires you to throw something forward timed so that it goes through the portal and lands on the pressure pad on the other side. Throwing any sort of item results in the item flopping where the teleporter takes it. The only way to do this part that I've tried after lots of messing around is using the bow found earlier in the game to shoot an arrow through the portal. Is this a glitch?

I'm currently stuck in there and I have the very same problem, only I don't have a bow, nor arrows, so I can't do that.

You get 3 throwing knives in that same room...

Not a glitch, you need to use something as a weapon, stones, daggers, arrows etc. instead of throwing something straight from your inventory as the object has surprisingly far to travel...

Yeah, they ain't enough - they're going through on the other side, but knives usually end up lying by the torch, if you know what I mean.
Well maybe its my timing's off. Then I'll work on it more.

This. I tested it and it works. I figured tossing a stone from my inventory would be the same but you have to equip it and right click it for the distance. I guess it's one of those little things that some people don't think about it lol.

Have you passed the last bit of the archives? I have all four scrolls.. and now am confused what to do with them? There are the pillars with the recesses in them with writing on the sides, and the scrolls seem to coincide with the writing, but nothing is happening for me!! :( Maybe I'm not getting the right combination? I've fiddled for a while now though..

I'm at the same part. I can't seem to figure out what to do either. I've checked in the four chambers after placing the scrolls and I don't see anything different there either.

You have to match each scroll with the appropriate inscription on the inner walls of the pillars...

Which scroll matches to which pillar then? I've tried a few combinations and none seem to work.

They continue the phrases, like 'Put to sleep - but still dreaming' or something like that.

Nevermind, I figured out the combination

SPOILER:

Put to sleep - but still dreaming
Eternally imprisoned - to depths beyond measure
Crimes forgotten - but never forgiven
Caverns still echoing - by his call

Huh.. never would have thought the 'Caverns still echoing - by his call' bit. Thanks :)

To tell the truth, that was the one I put last. It could go with any of the beginnings.
