Not sure if this is legit or not, since I couldn't replicate it myself using the original executable in the GOG release, and I haven't previously heard about it:

Cool find if it is legit, and indeed only just now found

Total bs. This room has been known for years. I think I even posted about its origin some time ago when I heard LB tell the story on either HoBLotH or the 25th UDIC anniversary bash

Oh, it's that place in the mountains. Yeh, I remember it now.

I seriously doubt there's a secret loyal fans don't know.
But Kotaku-guy rectified his silly mistake at least.

Heck, I even know the piles of rocks that hide gems. But admittedly, that's a bit nuts.

Or the hidden outdoors chest with armour inside it.
Some of my BG favourites are on the islands west of Serpent's Hold. They didn't seem to be part of any storyline but added a mystique that most games lack.

How about the other Trinsic Cheat room? Is it common knowledge?
There's these two houses (southeast?) And bag where is banana.
Take the banana or some other item and put it under the tree that is more south. When there looks some kind of "under the roots-glitch" Walk towards it and you are teleported in cheatroom.
I'm not 100% sure, but I remember that it teleports different place in cheat room than behind the chimney-cheat.
My friend's little brother somehow found out this cheat.
(those little kids also found out the Lord British killing plate thing. But that's kind of easy to find out.) =)

@MkM:
I don't know of a second cheat room in Trinsic.
Are you sure you're not talking about the park in Monitor, in Serpent Isle?
That park has an invisible teleporter next to a tree, and you need a climbable item to reach it.
If there does exist a second cheat room, I'd love to hear it. It'd blow my mind.

Surely someone has a giant bitmap or some other shot of the world map from the games data files?? Ive seen one for Serpent Isle. It was neat seeing the whole map and how they made EVERYTHING fit into one giant tiled image. Beats the old days of having to swap disks to go from Britannia into a dungeon or town, just teleport em to a different spot on the map hehe. The SI one had those areas exposed (there were no rooftops on anything), if theres a second cheat room it'll be visible on the BG map too.

I remeber Garriot talking about this with Noah antwiler a while back and explained it. He said he found that someone had built the chimney room in the mountains, and that he had stuck the teleport to it there behind the tree. Instead of getting mad at him however, he moved the teleport for that behind the chimney and made the "cheater room" the location that was teleported to. I thought it was a funny way to get back at the developer for trying to give himself Godlike powers in the game
