Poll: 1st problems.....

Believe it or not, I thought I was supposed to find the Mavin sword inside the first crypt. Therefore, I spent much, much time in there - days - weeks - actually the time is unknown even to me; but it was long enough that my entire party was beginning to wonder if we too would enjoy an occasional rat! That is when I came to this wonderful forum. And I, like others, am now hooked on the forum and enjoy it as much as the game. Now I have been playing with the help of the forum since October and wouldn't have it any other way. I am stalling the end of the game by doing "Role Ascension" quests for my characters and enjoying every minute of it. Since I now have "Teleport and Call to Home" spells, I can choose if I want to wander around back and forth looking for things to kill, or if I just want to go back to the gates of the city or into the city itself. This makes us feel very powerful and is quite a thrilling sensation. When I do finish the game, I look forward to a return bout with maybe one or two characters only. Since I have applied the patch, it should be a little different, especially if I create totally new characters of different races. I LOVE this game and this forum! Grandma in Columbus, Ohio

My first problem was to move those temple guardians in the Shrine of Anephas because I just pushed them and didn´t use the Carry option. Although I havent done it yet (for I am writting this message) I hope it will work.

well my first problem was in the crypt i couldnt figure out the crystal behind the underwater gate,it has been a while since playing a real rpg,the second problem was not having cure poison spell or potions when going into the serpent temple (ugh)

I had trouble giving that little jerk a rat to eat. I kept killing rats, chasing rats...I felt like killing that creep after a while.

I could not get passed the Fire-Pit puzzle. Actually I still have know idea how to get through the correct way. After reloading my game around 20 times I finnaly just ran and jumped straight through.

**If you run up to the man-traps(melee range) they don't spit/throw that party killing whatever at you.

My first problem was the money. I bought the game and decided to give the partial walkthru a try. When I didn't have enough money to buy the things the walkthru told me to buy, I knew it couldn't be the greatest walkthru in the world.

I never had a problem with the lever that people talk about, cuz I always had a whiskah in my group. (I learned very quickly how good it was to have night vision.)

My second biggest problem was the two toads blocking the path. I tried every peaceful way I could think of! I used a pixie to try to walk around them. I tried pushing them around with an oomphaz. I tried talking to them. I tried going away and coming back hours later. I even tried giving them money! Nothing worked. At that time, my highest spell was lightning, so I finally blasted away. I found that if I killed them in one blow, no one got mad. (I figured that theses toads would not be missed by many.)

My third problem, believe it or not, was that I couldn't find the library in the Temple! For some reason, I kept missing the levers in the snake head hall, and could not figure out how to open the bars on the north side. I found a couple of very hidden rooms in the torture area but for the life of me I couldn't find the lever. When I did find it, I called myself Shinwiki a few time for being so stupid.

I too got clobbered (a few dozen times) by those stupid mantraps. I always went to the north and instead of the ratlings, I got hit by spiders, trolls, warguls, and swampflies at the same time. Once I tried running away and firing spells, but other monsters kept catching me and while I was dispatching them, those mantraps snuck up and clobbered me. There is a grassy area with a few trees that I walk thru on my way into work and I am now checking for mantraps as I walk thru it.

my 1st problem with the game was when you were suposed to jump on the top of the elevator in the crypt

Giving a rat pie. I'd click on the NPC with "Use" still on - can't use; click on "Use/Give" bring up the pie and change to "give" - no pie; finally get pie and Give both active, click on "give" - no result; click on Rat Pie in talk mode - no joy; click on character - nothing; click on NPC - nada; eventually I got it but it drove me mad, especially as I kept on hearing about rats! Happy days.

The other one - that blooming lever in the room after Lysandra! I inspected all the walls time after time and didn't see it. Eventually I saw the screenshot on volberding - without that I'd still be trolling about the Castle.

Really interesting to see how people get stuck in different parts. I too couldn't find the lever in the crypt until someone suggested I turn up the graphics light - worked a treat! Found out too late to put a Whiskah in the party - couldn't face starting again. Still haven't figured out how you climb down a ladder - just jump and hope! Those blasted hanging bridges in the skull castle drove me to distraction - knew what I should do but kept missing or over jumping. Still, after falling off my chair with frustration and laughter I did manage to do it. I think it's great when a game can bring you to tears of frustation and laughter !
