-=== Puzzle Guide ===
-[[File:Puzzle_Help.jpg|thumb]]This chasm can only be crossed via a bridge that is formed in the middle out of 4 different pieces, labeled 1 through 4. To fully create a bridge piece, two party members must be standing on OPPOSITE sides of the chasm, on tiles that have the corresponding number on them. Please note that double tiles (tiles that create 2 pieces of the bridge) are only located on the right side of the chasm. You have 3 party members to construct the bridge and 1 party member to cross the bridge. Once the bridge is crossed, it becomes solid for all to cross.
-If you deconstruct a bridge tile below your traversing hero, the hero reappears at the entrance of the room.
-''Note: If you do not have 4 party members with you when you reach this puzzle, 1, 2 or 3 Ash Wraiths will join you as companions to solve this puzzle, they'll disapear when you reach the other side.''
