ToLM Question?

Remove all ads!

Hello. This is my first time playing through ToLM. I have gotten stuck at the first level of the haunted castle, after clearing out the four rooms (with the switches), received the "notes" and moved on to the big area under Helms' alter, cleared it out. But when I go back up to the spirit at the gate/door, he is gone, with me (& party) stuck outside. Anyone know the trigger I missed to open the castle?
Thanks in advance.

 

Well did you try the door ? My guess is, that it's supposed to be unlocked

 

Thanks for the reply! Sorry perhaps I should have been more precise. Indeed , after, I tried the door, locked and unopenable, even by thief or spell. I'm not sure what the problem is. I killed all the creatures, save the crazy guy that wants "the pitcher of water as red as wine".
I guess I will just try a new game from scratch after exporting/importing my characters.

 

Yes of course. I didn't mean to be rude, i just recall making that silly mistake myself.

Then the only answer is, that you didn't clear the crypt completely. Are you still holding the 4 notes ?

 

I remember the Loremaster being gone but when I moved around the area I finally found him again. After speaking to him I was able to get through the gate.

 

Lol, No problem, I've made many mistakes like that, not going to the right NPC, check the door, etc (see BELOW ) ...
Anyway,Thanks for your replies.
I think you may hit on the problem... I did retrieve the four notes, but stored them at the alter until after the crypt was cleared. I think I forgot to go back and get them.
Must I give them to the Spirit/L M?
thanks again for all your help

 

You should check the Crypt again...
I bet you missed that secret room, go in and use the notes

 

Thanks! I'll give it a try!
