Hey intrepid Wizards & Warriors of Gael Serran....
In wandering around the depths of Skull Castle, I have unfortunately managed to seemingly get myself stuck within a particular part of the dungeon. Although I have previous save games to go back to if necessary, but m hoping to be able to extricate myself using the generous wisdom of the forums instead!
After getting the Dungeon Key from Gezzared'Ra and obtaining the quest for the ancient relic, I decided to first complete my map as much as possible before opening the vault door, by swimming and exploring some more around the see-saw bridge area. After hastily disposing of the two headed ogre, (I hid around a corner and used Burning haze... worked a treat!)
I went back to the see-saw bridge and this time, found the tunnel that led to the Labyrinth area, with the elevator to a room which has a closed portcullis and a brazier of some kind at its centre. I found the lock to it after awhile, in the tunnel below on the wall, but was unable to open it.
Feeling slightly disparaged, I decided to head back to the lower levels and to use the dungeon key...but to no avail!
There is no way to return to the see saw bridge area as I seem to get stuck near twisting alcove as the tunnel with water turns. I selected my smallest character, my dear pixie-priest, monk to be, Sapling, but still I am unable to get further. Perhaps its the current or a bug of some kind?
Thus, for the first time in awhile my friends of the forums, I'm at your disposal for help here! Has anyone else been stuck like this? What key opens the portcullis? Is that my only way back?
Cheers,
