I have not yet patched to 1.45 I only downloaded it last night. I am in the mushroom cave on the first floor. I got to the room that holds the golden key. The problem is that this key is "within" the walls and I can not get it. Has anyone else had this problem? Does 1.45 correct this? I don't think I can progress without getting this key.

I have never gotten that key, which is entirely unnecessary.

Just explore the ruins and all will be well.

The key is no prob => remove the 2 barrels at the SE corner of the wall and then you can get it => secret wall.

I don't know how you do it Kiya but my hat is off to you. I had moved the barrels as I had anything else that could be moved. Yet I never thought to try and enter the wall. I thought it was yet another bug in the game. Like being able to stick yourself in a wall and not get back out. This is why I stayed away from getting too close to the walls now. Thank you once again for your help.

Oh, I thought it was a bug on my first way through - and whined at Myrthos => HE told me how to get through <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - you can imagine how I blushed and how stupid I felt <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />
