I used the teleporter to get to Erika's Tower and am working my way in. I got past the first leg where you flip a lever, the floor's set on fire, and you have to get past the gate at the end of the hall before it shuts. That was only blocked by a skeleton, so I could beat it before the gate shuts.
I'm now on a leg where you flip a lever, the floor's full of ice, and you have to get past the gate at the end of the hall before it shuts. The problem is that the hall's blocked by 3 demons and by the time I beat them, the gate shuts. I looked for a button on the wall or something to bypass them but don't see anything. And I can't go back the way I came because I teleported there in the first place and there's no teleporter around. So I can't go forward or back, which makes the game unplayable.
Could someone tell me if I'm missing something, or if the only way through is to beat the 3 demons before the gate shuts?
Thanks!
