xCADAVERx,

I am about 10 minutes of gamplay short of having a conversation with Kresselack (sp?), but understand from a post on this forum that it is impossible to get him to attack you (with words, anyway).

I think I know what your problem is: If so, then I had it, too. Read the thread, started by me, entitled "Need Help in Vale of Shadows (spoiler)".

I had about 3 keys plus a skull symbol (Myrkul's something-or-other) after I had defeated Mythos and Myrkul's sending. (Both battles climaxed about where your green box is, in the screen shot you posted.) But I don't think I needed them to go where you evidently want to go.

If you are standing in the big room where the green box is (Where you met Mythos), looking N towards the little room where the Myrkul's sending came from, with your back to the big double doors (and the big pool/pedestal room) to the S; then there are a total of four (4) exits from the room: N, S, NW, and NE. You know about the one to the S, since that is where you came from, and the screen shot also makes it obvious that you have taken the N and the NW exits.

Now, I believe that the entrance to the NE passage is not a secret door, nor any kind of door at all: it is simply an opening that is hidden by other objects, due to the perspective of the game! I looked for the "door" for hours before the guys on this forum helped me realize that I just needed to simply walk up the passageway. The fact that your screen shot shows the NE passageway "lit up" from your party's view, shows that there is NO DOOR to obstruct that view!

If you click where you think your guys should go and they won't go, you are probably clicking on the far corridor wall. Try clicking around lower on the screen than what seems right: low in the black portion that represents the near wall of the corridor, the wall that is blocking your view of the NE corridor floor.

Again, read that thread (still on page 1, as of this writing).

Hope this helps!

Oops! I was mistaken about the position of your green box in the screen shot. Both battles climaxed in the large room where the top left-hand corner of your green box is. This is the same large room from which you access the NW and NE passageways.

There is yet another thread, started by a guy that was having your problem. See the thread "Topic: Finding Secret Doors", started by Micalon. It is also on page 1 of this forum, as of the time I am writing this.
