You have to point the gargoyles at the door, then lock them in place with the lever. It has not been my experience that the order matters. But, all three must be pointed at it. You will know when you have it right.

I tried that but every time I 'locked' a second statue the first one moved again.

However ....

I solved the problem by finding the secret door and kiling the fire thrower creator fairy (thingy) when I went back to the area all the statues had opened the door!

Thanks anyhow Robert the bard [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

That's odd. The first couple of times I played through that part, I never found him, but still managed to open the door...

LOL I have never found him either. I always just opened the door using the statues.

I had to use Sharwyn to help find the secret door, mind you she also found about 30 other secret doors just in the first level. I normally play solo but I think I will keep her around for a while

eye candy anyone [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

arrgg...I was trying to find that same hidden door, but to no avail! is there a way to find it being a dwarf with no points in spot? Standing around in the right spot for a VERY long time?

I could not find it either (cleric with no *spots*) team up with Sharwyn for a day and she will discover many hidden doors

Maybe that kobold thing, Deakin? may help

The "creator" on that level is located to the upper right behind at least one and possibly two secret doors.

Isn't Search the skill needed to find secret doors, instead of Spot? I don't know if it's mentioned in the skill description, but since Search deals with traps and other "mechanical anomalies" and Spot deals with creatures which are invisible/hiding in shadow, Search seems much more logical to me. Plus, with practically all my characters I keep Search maxed out whether it is a class skill or not, while I only very rarely put points into Spot, and I usually don't have much trouble finding secret doors.
