HELP trapped by the elevator!!!!!!!!!!

[trinko]

i used the elevator in the mine, the mine owned by the nephilm. i fought the rats and i've been exploring the tunnels. but when i go back to the elevator it's gone down and there's no way to get it back up. is this intentional? if so how do i get out of the area? i lost one of my characters so i don't think i can fight through the bandits. thanks for any help.

That's... odd. I don't think that should've happened. But anyway, you have two options:

 

1) Keep going, and look for a gate w/ a wheel. The second one you come to after the lift will take you back to a secret door, which lets you into the basement of the Harkin's Landing inn. At least, I'm pretty sure it's the second one. If you see any savage slithzerakai, you've gone the wrong way.

 

2) Shift + D, then enter 'backtostart'.

The elevator drops down after a certain length of time. If you go north past the lava bats and then go west there is a green stone ringed pool that will rejuvenate your party (raise unconscious party members, heal, and restore spell energy). It's guarded by some fissure bats so be ready to fight or at least use a control foe scroll.

 

If you can get past the bandits to the west, there are two gate controls. One is for the path to Harkin's Landing under the inn run by Kelda. It has a lever to open the path. The other leads to Three Tunnels claim but that secret door is usually blocked.

This happened to me today. I went north to the bandits' area, fought the archers, then took a secret door west to someone's mine. The secret door is right where the three archers stand.
