ok...i am by the dwarf..i have already killed the mummy guy, and found my way out of the crypt....but i cant get passed the locked gates under the water, i have found no ring, and i can see a room beyond the dwarf so i know i am not done in this dungeon.....i am stuck
who do you get the ring from?
how do you get to the person or monster with the ring?
how do you get beyond the gates in the water?

any help would be really appreciated

OK, you killed the mummy guy, so You must have been in his crypt. You know that You can step on TOP of the elevator, do You? You CANNOT open the grates at this time. I think You should have gotten a hint what to do with the statue. Try to say something to it...

#1 - the long but righteous way ...
leave the crypt the way you came in and explore the region to the south of the crypt. you'll find yet another 'dwarf' (or 'Stout') there. talk to him, especially talk to him about his brother. then go back to the stout in the crypt and get some very useful info.

#2 - the easy-peasy-teenage-MTV-way ...
go back to the room where you killed F'Lokis Ra (sp?) and from there hop on top of the elevator to ride up to a hallway that leads back to the statue of Kerah. say to her the words that are engraved on the amulet you got from the remains of F'Lokis Ra and she will open a passage to new vast areas of the dungeon. explore these

good luck
