I have killed the big orb with the rift device, and now I have taken the door that takes me back to the tombs where but the door at the bottom is locked - is there a key (i have looked but can't find it) or should I just back track?

also the orbs (Can't remember their names but the floating thing s with the eyes) what is the defence against their blasts?

Thanks for your help

<font color=white> They are called Beholders/Eye Tyrants.

When you leave the Beholder lair you should be able to take the shortcut to the Tombs with the door... IIRC there is a key you must have to go this way.. (not really sure though!)

The Cloak of Mirroring deflects the rays of the Beholders (the shield of Balduran will do the same thing).

[add] You should be able to open the door in the Beholder Lair without a key... </font>

Just stand in front of it for a while, should open automatically after some time. Also, spellshield (lvl 5) has its uses when facing beholders.
Check out Alson's Spell reference (link located in Dundee's sticky-thread) for more info on spellhield and beholders [img]smile.gif[/img]

OH YEA BEHOLDERS that's it, I just blanked on the name as I was typing. Ok i wil try the spell as I do not have thew shield (throne of Bhaal i believe and its not available on the MAC ) and I have not gone to the Underdark yet (still in chapter 2 doing side quests - this is the first time I'm doing the cult Quest - correctly anyway) But i got through the quest with a few hits from the various beholders around the place but they are easy to kill if you can get close to them with a sword, I was just wondering fr future reference

Thanks

Nothing to do with ToB so you see...and you can get it in Chapter one if you want.. ;)

It is possible ofcorse you can aquire it again in ToB, but I am not familiar with ToB. </font>

ToB adds bonus merchants.

At least it adds the girl, the boy must be spawned with the console.

ahhhhh its not working, the door remains locked, is there a key? anyone please help, I'm stuck in the pit I can not back track ahhhhhh help!

<font color=white> You can take the long way back (Beholder Lair, Undead Pits, Cult of the Unseeying (death) Eye, Sewers)... this take's a while but it is possible... ;) </font>

Nope can't back track when I tried that it said the slope was too steep to climb out !

Anyone got ideas or is this the end of my game and I have to start again?

<font color=white> Ermm... this is not the end of your game.. you can always teleport your group out of there, this is however cheating but it is legatimate when you encounter a bug you don't have control over...

However I'm unfamiliar with ''teleporting'', so you should ask someone else for the specific details how this can be done..

You have all the latest patches installed (SoA,ToB,Baldurash)?
If not, than that could be the answer because than it is probaly a bug that can be fixed by installing the latest patches... </font>
