Cld someone please help me, this is probably really simple but i'm stuck. I'm stuck in one of the rooms in the catacombs, a couple of rooms past meeting the friendly orcs. I cant seam to get past a locked door, i think it enters the room from which you can get to the second level. I've tried keys, to no avail, and have carried on with the game, without doing the Mardaneus Sanity quest, but kept trying to return as my lockpick skill got higher, am now lv 5. Its driving me insane now, have i done something dumb like missed picking up a key, HHHEELLLPPPP!!!??? [color:"red"] [/color] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

The solution depends in which room you can´t get exactely. Either you have missed a lever near the door or you are in the room with 3 pentagrams on the ground. If this is the case you have to put the 3 magic balls that you find in other rooms on the pentagrams and a portal opens.

I hope this helps, if not i will try to help you with different screenies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh, how long I've waited for this, I actually get to help someone! Raze & Kyia eat my dust!
Ok seriously now. Highlight below for the answer.

[color:"#27485A"]You can't open that door with a key, you have to collect 3 magical orbs scattered across the dungeon, then go to a certain room with 3 pentagrams on the floor, and place an orb inside each pentagram. That will open a portal to the locked room. Just explore all the rooms and you should find everything easily (it's not like it's a big dungeon).[/color]

Bernhard you son of a bat, you beat me by 10 minutes. This is not cool man, I'm like completely useless on these boards <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
Oh, what will become of me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Look at this screen, so you can see where to get the orbs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

@bundy:

I´m sorry bundy but your time will come! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Kiya has left and Raze can´t be here all the time. This goes for me too, so if you are logged i often you can help many gamers out.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> for such effort! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

BTW, CharmedOne, you may want to go into the options (video | visual), set the darkness level to 50 and increase your gamma. It is much easier to find books, levers, loot, etc when you can see better (there should be a book near the three pentagrams describing the use of the orbs).

I usually saved before entering new buildings or going down stairs in caves, etc, or if 15 or 30 minutes had gone by since my last save.
