Found these - don't know if they work. though - DS2 is uninstalled at the moment..

While playing a game, press [Enter] and type [Plus] followed by one of the following codes to activate the corresponding cheat function.

For the lightout game in the vault, I have found a few sequences that work for opening the final door (also releasing a mage who originally got stuck at 1hp and wouldn't die, but did after a save & reload)

See the screenshot for how I labelled the statues. The following sequence works (7 is as short as I could get it :P):

If you're curious as to how I got it, I wrote a simple program which brute forced it. I got annoyed after 2 hours of mindlessly clicking. It did infact come up with 1000's of solutions, but that one sounded funny

Okay I decided to start playing DS2 again, so I am in the azunite vault and suddenly this.....THING with a green boss ring around him appears! I hit him with a grasping vine to stop him for a better look, but this kills him and he drops a bunch of unique and rare items, and a "mysterious teleporter activation stone". What is THIS??? An easter egg? 8O

With the overall level of content in DS2? Three cities, the merchants don't rotate their stock, sure theres a lot of side quests but jeeze.... And I've beaten it twice now on the Mercenary difficulty, on two seperate characters starting from scratch -- On my own. DS1 really held my interest a lot better than this, anyone have advice on how to keep myself going?

I play by myself usually, mostly because I see no point in playing with more than one player as its sort of overkill.

Yeah, bit of a rant, but I really am disappointed...

Assuming that the expansion (and other future mods) would require a "clean" installation of the DS2 code, I started the original game all over again - unmodded..

Wow, I've just travelled from the Azunite Desert Outpost to the Eastern Cliffs by Windstone Fortress - I'd almost forgotten just how mean those Skath are - phew!

What a journey - it took me 4 hours and nearly a whole packet of butter crunch biscuits..!! 8O

Took these snaps a while ago... thought I'd post them in case anyone gets stuck on this puzzle.

This is a simple pattern you can use to unlock the apprentice:

This is a more complex pattern which will open the chamber where the journal is located:
