1. nah .. doenst really matter how you do it. If you didnt go to the tavern first, you dont know why you're rescuing her, but besides that on problem.
There are numerous ways to finish that quest: Hack n'slash, buy a medallion, put sleep-potion in the guards food .. but I usually just kill them all [img]smile.gif[/img]
2. Its easy, dont make it any harder than it is [img]smile.gif[/img]
3. You're trying to open them too soon
4. There are a few riddles there .. which ones did you figure out ?
If you answered all the riddles by putting your hand in a few mouths .. just continue to do that untill the statue says your done,.. she'll reward you.
If you mean the room with the chest and items in it .. just place each item in the statue which riddle fits the item. If you did that correctly, you'll get a message that the lid of the now empty box jumped open and that there's a new item in it all of the sudden. If this didnt happen, you didnt match all the items to the statues correctly.
No such thing as a timer really .. there's a fixed point in the maze where she will be waiting for you
You can just take the detour .. though there's absolutely nothing of value in that little hallway. I do believe there's a way to not trigger the wall though, it was either keeping as much to the left wall or as much to the right wall
Not sure though
Anywayz, it's not important and you wont lose a thing by not going that way [img]smile.gif[/img]
