Temple of Elemental Evil: Swamp Lotus

Acknowledgements

Thanks to Sitra Achara for pointing out where I need to farm the Swamp Lotus. My gratitude also goes to gazra_1971 for making Sitra's piece of advice accessible in his Game Guide and Walkthrough for the Circle of Eight Modpack: New Content Edition.

Preface

This guide makes the following assumptions:

  • You're playing the Temple of Elemental Evil by Troika Games.
  • The Circle of Eight modpack, New Content edition is installed.
  • You either have the Cure for Amii quest and are having a "lovely" time finding her pungent herb or anticipate doing so.

Where in Nulb is Carmen Sandiego?

As mentioned in the guide linked in the acknowledgements, you can find the Swamp Lotus in the left side of the "roadless" random swamp encounter map. Where, exactly? I'll show you.
Now you know exactly what to look for; it took me about an hour or two of sending my party between the Temple of Elemental Evil and Hommlet, where I'd sell (upon a single member reaching medium encumbrance) every single item I pick up.

    1. If you're getting your feet wet, just use something like Blogger or Wordpress where the software's already set up; all you have to do is customize what's there and start writing. Keeps things simple so that you can focus on what I assume you want to spend more of your time on: writing.

      As far as blogging goes, I know about as much as you, sorry. My expertise is making technology work for you.

  15. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues
    of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a
    lot of completely unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but it seems
    a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do
    you know any solutions to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd
    definitely appreciate it.

    1. There's a few things you can do:
      1. Restrict access to your content.
      2. Contact the owner of the website hosting illegal copies of your content and request a takedown. I'll admit, I don't know the specific laws you'd want to mention in your request to embolden your claim.
      3. There's a YouTuber called Legal Eagle that has a course specifically about US copyright laws: https://www.copyrightcourse.com/ While you have to pay for it, you can get a sample of the quality of his output by checking out his YouTube channel. If I had disposable income, I'd probably pay for the course if I were you.

    1. IE *was* the marketplace leader in web browsers... over ten years ago. Change can be hard, but you're giving hackers a chance to stick it to you by clinging to old software on the web like that.
      If IE users pass up on my writing, it's no loss to me. I'm not seeking popularity or a readership. Funny how that works.

    However, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier post title?
    I ain't saying your content isn't solid, but suppose you added a post title
    to possibly get people's attention? I mean "Temple of Elemental Evil: Swamp Lotus" is kinda plain. You could peek at Yahoo's front page
    and watch how they create article headlines to get viewers to open the links.
    You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited about what you've
    got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your website a
    little bit more interesting.
