Colored globes are produced by interacting with the Globe Machine, located on the Watcher's Keep Final Seal dungeon level.

Select which globe color is desired in the dialogue box presented by the machine. The machine can produce red, blue, green and purple globes, and a limit of four of each color.

When the button is pressed to select a globe, the dialogue box displays a text, reading:

The machine clicks and whirs and produces a green globe, which you pick up. Suddenly, you hear strange sounds almost beyond your range of hearing. The sounds rapidly get louder as something approaches.

Description[]

This surprisingly light sphere is approximately the size of an ogre's head. Apart from the color, there are no distinguishing marks or features of any kind.

Green globes - gameplay[]

All four green globes look identical, except three of them will have a numeric "1" displayed on them, indicating a use "charge". This means that particular globe is a consumable/usable item.

As there isn't any information about what the globes do, the party would need to experiment and see the results. This feature is avoided by the wiki filling in that information.

Even so, it may prove difficult to remember which globe does what, especially later in the adventure when managing an inventory. It will be up to the player to come up with some kind of tracking method.

  • The first globe produced has no abilities/powers and is to be placed into the green colored glass tube container adjacent to the globe machine.
  • The second globe produced can cast Melf's Acid Arrow spell on a single target with a range of 1-foot. The spell will be released at casting level 2.
  • The third globe produced is useable on oneself only. It boosts the user's Magic resistance by +5% for one turn. It can't be dispelled.
  • The fourth globe produced can be utilized to summon a Shambling mound adjacent to the globe user. The creature will obey the summoner, and it lasts 14 turns. Normal restrictions of summoned creatures apply.
