Tenderfoot Thahd sandbags Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have a level-5 party and, though perhaps a little foolhardy, took it into the ancient crypt. I'm playing on Normal level and nothing was particularly taxing right up to Thexa Blooddrinker. As buffed as could be (+drinking the anti-curse water in the secret chamber) and even after lowering to Casual difficulty Thexa would usually lightning the whole party to death in pretty short order. So I figure "No problem, come back in a few levels time" only the main door cannot be opened. I've looked high and low for some answer to that door: examining walls, floor, usables, and so forth but found nothing. Not finding anything in the hint book or online I assumed the answer was behind Thexa and resorted to the cheats to keep the party alive long enough to kill Thexa and the remaining ghasts. Result: a spell book the party can't read, but no answer to the door. Now I'm at something of a loss. I can go back to a save pre-entering the crypt. Or I suppose teleport out using a cheat. But I'm not overly happy with either answer. Barring the argument the party was too low-level to enter the crypt in the first place, where am I going wrong here?

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You are correct that Thexa is way too powerful for you right now. To leave... There is a sneaky tricky way to open the door and get out of the crypt. In the center room on the west side of the crypt, the room with nothing but the strange statue you should have seen a pop-up message about...look for a switch.

Tenderfoot Thahd sandbags Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks Triumph. I didn't take that text literally enough and assumed it was just giving buffs. Good news, we can come back later m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody txmimi Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am stuck in this ancient crypt without enough tool use to open most of the doors. I've clicked on the above link for the sneaky way to get out of the crypt, but nothing happens. Am I stuck here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody txmimi Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hmmm. . . well, I had already pressed that switch, and it opened the side door, then I finished the area. . . but then, when I did it again, voila! Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
