REALLY Stuck in Dorn's Deep *SPOILER*

[Sylph]

Maybe I'm just being a moron. I've gone into Dorn's Deep, through the round room, down the stairs, met the ghosts and have now battled the Lich MANY times. I stand in the X-marks the spot place with the Lich's Power Stone to no avail; he just keeps re-spawning. Then, I decided to go out and back to the 1st floor through the prison. I met the Intelligent Hulk and killed everybody to get one of the badges. NOW WHAT??! The secret door by the exit shown on the walkthrough map is NOT showing up for my thief, the Lich won't die, and I have to find 5 other badges and have no idea where to start because there's nowhere else to go. The door at the end of the crypt room (Long hallway, lots of statues) is also locked and I don't have a key. What did I miss??

Okay, first of all if you are referring to the secret door shown on area three (right at the beginning of the bridge on the drow level) do NOT fret. That secret door does NOT exist!

The respawning lich is another issue entirely. Did you talk to Nolinor first about using the phylactery to kill Terikan (the lich)?
Did you make sure that the character who grabbed the phylactery actually was the one who went into the room with the 'X marks the spot'? (I thought that the room you needed to enter was one room to the right of the one indicated but my memory might be off - still it might be worth a try)The lich should have been killed instantly when the character holding his phylactery even CROSSES the threshold of that room!

Have you installed the latest patch? (v1.06 for IWD, v1.41 or TOL for HOW)

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and reloading a saved game from right before you fight Terikan in the long corridor?? (Yes i KNOW that uninstalling/reinstalling is the common line from tech support but it does solve problems like this frequently)

What you did SHOULD have worked and the door at end of the long corridor will open after you go back and talk to Nolinor, claim your reward and return a second time to that corridor.

Thanks! I had to talk to the ghost again in the right track, then it died NO problem. Thanks again.

This makes me wonder why you never have to destory lich phylacteries in BG. If you don't, they just come back again later. Oh, well....

Or the sheer number of liches appearing! Considering that liches are supposed to be rarely seen, you have to wonder if there was some sort of sign hanging outside of Athkatla. "Welcome to First Annual Liches of the Forgotten Realms Convention." [img]smile.gif[/img]
