Does anybody have any idea what was supposed to be the 'legitimate' location of the Death Scythe? As it is now, you can only get it from cheat locations. The ferryman sprite looks like it's carrying one, but it isn't really considered an NPC by the program.

There is one in a secret room in FoV, I don't know if that is counted as a cheat room or not, I don't count it as one.

The Death Scythe is a rare weapon, and probably my favorite. Besides the Trinsic cheat location and the FoV room, isn't there one in the building in the graveyard on Skara Brae? You know, the one with the hidden lever by the statue and the nightstand with all sorts of cool stuff.

Yes, there is one in the crypt in Skara Brae. It has a full set of magic armor, a death scythe, and the soul cage which is used to trap the liche Horace. It is around (53S, 65W) if you want to use your sextant.

Yeah, but that's a cheat room

Isn't it legitamate, since there is a (hard to find, for sure) lever right there?

It contains duplicates of 'plot items', so I would definitely call it a cheat room.

Yeah, that's my definition for a cheat room too, pretty much

My definition of a "cheat room" is one that is only accessible by extraordinary means that are impossible without cheating. The Skara Brae crypt can be accessed totally innocently (though it's hard to find that lever) without any sort of cheating or beforehand knowledge. For the Trinsic room, it is highly unlikely that anyone, on their own, would think to stack crates and go on the roof to find the hidden teleporting egg by the chimney.

It does contain cheat items, but I leave the potion and soul cage there and take the rest, so I don't use it for cheating.

Actually a fair amount of the cheat rooms can be reached by building stairs using crates in the right places

Mentioning "building high stairs using crates": anyone ever found out the deeper meaning of the room you can reach in draygans mine in SI (the one on the top of the mountains with the liche statue)?

Speaking of which... how did anyone find the cheat room on the tope of that roof in the first place? What would ever compel someone to go up there?

Mostly cheat rooms/ easter eggs are (or at that time) were leaked from developers and/or beta testers (after all those cheat rooms are meant as help for beta testers).
