Believe it or not, I thought I was supposed to find the Mavin sword inside the first crypt. Therefore, I spent much, much time in there - days - weeks - actually the time is unknown even to me; but it was long enough that my entire party was beginning to wonder if we too would enjoy an occasional rat! That is when I came to this wonderful forum. And I, like others, am now hooked on the forum and enjoy it as much as the game. Now I have been playing with the help of the forum since October and wouldn't have it any other way. I am stalling the end of the game by doing "Role Ascension" quests for my characters and enjoying every minute of it. Since I now have "Teleport and Call to Home" spells, I can choose if I want to wander around back and forth looking for things to kill, or if I just want to go back to the gates of the city or into the city itself. This makes us feel very powerful and is quite a thrilling sensation. When I do finish the game, I look forward to a return bout with maybe one or two characters only. Since I have applied the patch, it should be a little different, especially if I create totally new characters of different races. I LOVE this game and this forum! Grandma in Columbus, Ohio

My first problem was to move those temple guardians in the Shrine of Anephas because I just pushed them and didn´t use the Carry option. Although I havent done it yet (for I am writting this message) I hope it will work.

well my first problem was in the crypt i couldnt figure out the crystal behind the underwater gate,it has been a while since playing a real rpg,the second problem was not having cure poison spell or potions when going into the serpent temple (ugh)

I had trouble giving that little jerk a rat to eat. I kept killing rats, chasing rats...I felt like killing that creep after a while.

I could not get passed the Fire-Pit puzzle. Actually I still have know idea how to get through the correct way. After reloading my game around 20 times I finnaly just ran and jumped straight through.

**If you run up to the man-traps(melee range) they don't spit/throw that party killing whatever at you.

My first problem was the money. I bought the game and decided to give the partial walkthru a try. When I didn't have enough money to buy the things the walkthru told me to buy, I knew it couldn't be the greatest walkthru in the world.

I never had a problem with the lever that people talk about, cuz I always had a whiskah in my group. (I learned very quickly how good it was to have night vision.)

My second biggest problem was the two toads blocking the path. I tried every peaceful way I could think of! I used a pixie to try to walk around them. I tried pushing them around with an oomphaz. I tried talking to them. I tried going away and coming back hours later. I even tried giving them money! Nothing worked. At that time, my highest spell was lightning, so I finally blasted away. I found that if I killed them in one blow, no one got mad. (I figured that theses toads would not be missed by many.)

My third problem, believe it or not, was that I couldn't find the library in the Temple! For some reason, I kept missing the levers in the snake head hall, and could not figure out how to open the bars on the north side. I found a couple of very hidden rooms in the torture area but for the life of me I couldn't find the lever. When I did find it, I called myself Shinwiki a few time for being so stupid.

I too got clobbered (a few dozen times) by those stupid mantraps. I always went to the north and instead of the ratlings, I got hit by spiders, trolls, warguls, and swampflies at the same time. Once I tried running away and firing spells, but other monsters kept catching me and while I was dispatching them, those mantraps snuck up and clobbered me. There is a grassy area with a few trees that I walk thru on my way into work and I am now checking for mantraps as I walk thru it.

Only two of my personalites have delusions, but one of them is paranoid and the other is out to get him.

my 1st problem with the game was when you were suposed to jump on the top of the elevator in the crypt

Giving a rat pie. I'd click on the NPC with "Use" still on - can't use; click on "Use/Give" bring up the pie and change to "give" - no pie; finally get pie and Give both active, click on "give" - no result; click on Rat Pie in talk mode - no joy; click on character - nothing; click on NPC - nada; eventually I got it but it drove me mad, especially as I kept on hearing about rats! Happy days.

The other one - that blooming lever in the room after Lysandra! I inspected all the walls time after time and didn't see it. Eventually I saw the screenshot on volberding - without that I'd still be trolling about the Castle.

Really interesting to see how people get stuck in different parts. I too couldn't find the lever in the crypt until someone suggested I turn up the graphics light - worked a treat! Found out too late to put a Whiskah in the party - couldn't face starting again. Still haven't figured out how you climb down a ladder - just jump and hope! Those blasted hanging bridges in the skull castle drove me to distraction - knew what I should do but kept missing or over jumping. Still, after falling off my chair with frustration and laughter I did manage to do it. I think it's great when a game can bring you to tears of frustation and laughter http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif!

Back to the top! Such a great thread!! http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif
