i have 2 questions. 1st i'm done with the anephas quest and i would like to go back to town, but i don't have the town portal spell yet. i am in the temple and can not get back to the front door? i can not make the jump across the big hole.is there another way around it i can not seem to find. i pushed the button on the wall and fall immediately. 2nd is this a bug or what? every time i kill the 3 headed dragon the game locks up, everytime!

hmmmm - the button right next to the pit in the spike room should teleport your party to the far side where you entered allowing you to exit. You could try piling up crates in the pit to make a ladder up.

Does sound like you have some problem with the Hydra. Hopefully someone will have some ideas for a solution.

Interesting thing on that Hydra: when I engaged him in daylight, as soon as he fell to the ground, before he "decomposed", the game froze; every time; no exceptions, and I tried like ten times, too.

However, engaging him at night he died and the game continued normally for me; that has worked every time I played through the game -- I now make it a point, when I'm in that area, whether I'm ready for the Isle of Sands or not, to swim over and kill him whenever it happens to be dark outside...

Wierd, I know, but hey it works for me, it might work for you.

Try turning around and facing the wrong way (the way you came) when you push the button. For some odd reason, that's the only way I could get it to work.
