I'm stuck in the hole on the way to the serpant. I try to turn in the direction I'm supposed to go but I just get turned around back to facing the wall! Is this a bug or what. Do these designers not play the #$%^&^% game before they put it on the shelf!

The Underwater area in the Serpent Holds?
That is a tricky area...pretend you're swimming..."dive" into the hole...wriggle your way through the tunnel.
Swim down til you are under the hole to get back out & then swim back up. It just takes a lil mouse maneuvering.
: )
Moni

No, No, The hole you go down to kill xydusa or whatever it's called. After answering the four riddels. You pull the lever and the floor drops out. Then I'm in a little square area with a ramp. But I can't get up the ramp. And I keep getting turned facing the wall.
P.S. With all the falling and taking damage a nice Feather fall spell would have been great.

Ah, the old caught-in-the-elevator-spinner bug. It happened to me too. All I could do was restore from an earlier point and try the elevator again...

Thank you, Rick! I don't EVEN remember that part!

Magnus, I realize my attempt to help only multiplied your level of frustration as did the answer that you will probably have to re-load from an earlier save...So Sorry!!!!!!!!

So you mean this thing is an elevator and not a trap door?

At this level it's a trap door but if you look up before your click on the lever you'll see the chains that will later transform this room into an elevator.

Magnus, I found a walkthrough I printed out and you did pull a lever to a trap door and then fell down a hole, right?

Right after talking to the Naga Spirit.

The walkthrough only says to pull the lever & then jump up or you will be crushed on the walls.
It also says it is a good idea to save your game prior to doing so (NOW THEY TELL YOU!)
and that once you are in the next room, kill the enemies around you & heal up because the Naga Queen is in the next room.

Sounds to me like if that is where you are, you got stuck in the hole somehow & I don't know how to get you out!

Mommy hellllp!
Ok, I'll try the jumping thing. It's only 10:35pm here (Atlantic Time) so I still have a good 5 hours of play time. I'm glad my wife loves me so!
