Edit: NM: I found it! Never fails -- post a query, immediately figure out the answer. On the other hand, I'm still not sure I understand what the point was!
I recall seeing my vitality go up about 40? points after I moved the statue? Can't quite remember exactly (I think it was 115 to 155) but I'm going to find out because I started over from citadel 3.
And I'm glad I did. Besides easier play now that I know some of the game's quirks, I had missed (the first time around) going back to the talking skull after I killed Fergus. This 2d time I got a nice leather helmet of luck when the skull disappeared and I've been getting a lot better item drops.
I'm going to do different skill paths for my Survivor.
And now, I'll get that Battlefield key out of the chest on citadel 1 before I drop into the pit and maybe I can whup those gargoyles, having more experience when I run into them the 2d time.
omg! i MISSED BF KEY! Now, I am stuck at gargoyles. Even tho I have doll its kinda useless against them. Is there any possible way I can get back to BF key? I am so screwed... there should be hints or something to help you find BF keys. Is there anyway I can bypass gargs to get somewhere in the game?
So, I tried to get the statue to move, but I don't know how. I saw that all the torches were out in that level. So.. I tried to put tem all on again, maybe that should move the statue, but it doesn't..
