Tenderfoot Thahd BruceH Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've been an avid gamer, especially RPGs, for 30 years, so it's hard to believe I didn't hear of Jeff Vogel until this year, from an article in PC Gamer. So I played Avadon, then Avernum 6, and now Nethergate: Resurrection. So far I like Nethergate the most. It's really one of my all-time favorites. But I've just run into a problem. I went off about level 10 to the Circle Warrens, figuring that must be the place for Cormac's tunnel quest. I'm playing as the Celts, no cheating. I cleared everything, except the final Naga summoned by Titus. After about 8 tries, I figure I'd come back later. (Incidentally, I don't remember fighting the stone golems in the room before Titus.) So I'm back at lvl 13. And I'm stuck on those six golems. Just can't beat them. So I figure from some walkthroughs that I need to go smash tiles. So I'm off to smash the six tiles. Here's my problem. In one room you have to push a pushable block onto a floor tile in order to open the gate to the tiles that need smashing. Unfortunately, I was moving too fast and accidentally pushed the block into a corner (as you face the gate, the corner to the left of the gate). And my only save before this point is about 8 days ago! Is there any way to pull that block out of the corner? Is there any way to edit the save to reposition the block? I hate screwing up a puzzle like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd BruceH Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks for quick response. Unfortunately, that did not work. I left the dungeon, rested a night, and when I return the pushable block is still in the corner. Apparently I can only push it from two directions (its S and E) and I just get the message "You don't have anywhere to push the block to." Did the puzzle start that way? Am I missing something obvious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I can't remember that particular puzzle offhand, and I'm not at home right now. I'll look at it later if no one else answers your question before then. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd BruceH Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thanks much. I've smashed three of the tiles. Two I can't reach yet because I don't have the magic skills for my Break Barrier and Sever Seal spells. I can probably get past three of the stone golems. But I hate to miss a puzzle. N:R is really an ingenious game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ah, okay. That block is just there to taunt you. Circle around clockwise to find another one amongst some boulders and standing stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd BruceH Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Oh good grief. Thanks so much for your help. I'd actually seen the other block, but didn't have the brains to put 2 and 2 together. With 3 tiles smashed, I was able to get past the golems and then, finally! bet Titus and his snake minions. I love this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
