Thanks that did help! And the reason why I want it is because I'm only just waiting for the email with my registration code now.

Nope cuz I have the same problem and I didn't kill the golem but showed him the satchel to show that I had authorization to pass... although why it would stop me from LEAVING the area I don't know. (since I came through the downstairs of the fort rather then up through the tunnels). Dikiyoba gave me the link to this thread and I'll try it out to see if this solves it and it does! I'm thinking that getting the satchel, killing the shades and leaving the fort via underground, and running into the golem (killing it or choosing not to) triggers this error. Thanks again Dikiyoba for helping me find this post.

No, I don't think that that is correct. The quest says: The Pylon Lesson. "Before you can behin your work, you need to be able to use the pylon system. Go insert the cyrstal the general gave you into the stone pylon. Then use the pylon. Once you know how the portals work, return to the general for more orders. The pylon is near the stairs up to the level where you met the general." There is a BIG star over the pylon and even though i've gone through it, talked to everyone on the other end, killed the shades in the basement, if I return to the general, and ask him what he wants me to do he tells me to go use the crystals on the pylon. What you're telling me doesn't make any sense. What is the trigger that causes him to give me the next chain of events and causes the quest to complete or at least change?

I tried browsing through the subjects but there are way to many to go through. I took the starter quest for pylon where you the crystal and it takes you to the fort and you get the new bag of crystals to use for future reference but no matter who I talk to the quest never gives me a complete? Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Does the game need to be registered in order to get the next group of quests? Or is the save file faulty? Whats going on here and why won't the quest finish? If you know why I'd love to hear an answer >.<!!

NOOOOO!!!!!!! crap... ok so you're saying, that since I saved over a previous playthrough set of characters, that this one became corrupted with information from that playthorugh combining with this playthrough and so... now all the boxes will probably be empty for the rest of the game?! crap crap crap... dang.

Ok so I just got my barrier removal spell and I'm going back to hit areas that I didn't get into before so I can get some nice gear. However, every time I remove one of the barriers that you couldn't remove with the stones, the chests are empty. In the spiral you have the first two sets of barriers with monsters and coffins behind each. I'm told there should be a ruby breast plate and a wisdom gem in each respectivly... empty. All of the coffins in the spiral that aren't behind barriers? Empty. The skull piles next to the boss down stairs? Empty. The boxes on the way to Lizard testing in the troll area? All empty. The boxes and stuff behind the barrier in the lizard testing area? All empty. At first I thought it was due to Nature's Lore but I'm told that the heartstriker bow is the thing that requires the highest amount, and that it is a combined pool of all your characters levels of Natures Lore. Well, I tried raising them higher and I have 7 on my first 11 on my second 7 on my 3rd and 4th characters which is a combined pool of 32 points into Nature's Lore and still all these boxes are empty... even things that should just have crap stuff like bones or what not. What in the world is going on here? I've tried to find a post that details something like this happening but although I've spent an hour or so here looking I can't find one. Does anyone know whats happening and how to fix it? I went to the fort west of the exit of the honeycomb prior to going to the Tower of the Mages and found that the same thing was happening there too... Please help!!! Mystan
