    [​IMG] I've killed the 4 elemental thingy's (fire, ice, air, slime) but nothing else is happening. I've read a walkthrough saying that I'm supposed to get teleported to the "chess room" but nothing happens. I just end up walking around in circles. Is there some door that opens so that you can go to the chess room or is it just a bug??

    Just a thought, are you sure you've killed all of the invisible stalkers - after all they are invisible. I seem to remember when I did this bit (and it was a long time ago) that there were nasties hidden right in the far corners of most of these rooms. Try wondering around to see if anything starts hitting you!

    I also seem to remember that I left the room and was moving down a central corridor before getting transported to the chess room. But like I said it was a long time ago. Sorry I can't help more.

    I had this happen to me as well some time back. I also was advised to 're-check' things as well as install the patch. Without success.

    I unfortunately hadn't developed the 'much more successful' habit of saving games and using quicksave as I do now. So check to see if your Auto-Save game or any other game is recent and load it. Play it and see if the glitch fixes itself. I ended up having to reload a game that was near the Succubus (sp?) on the very top level of the Tower. But when I got to the level of the Chess game I had 4 or 5 saves (I atually needed them because the glitch happened to me again) but I eventually was transported to the Chessboard and continued on.

    I've just seen from the other post asking about hints for the chess game, that you still haven't managed to find a way to beat the bug in you game.

    I haven't got any more ideas but I have recently reinstalled BG and see that I have a save game just after being teleported into the chess match. My version has me, Ajantis, Yeslick, Imoen, Xan and Dynaheir. If you are interested I could email it to you. You could play it as is, or fiddle around with an editor to import your characters, stats, etc.

    Email me if you are interested.

    [​IMG] I s'pose you could try napping in the rooms --- IF beasties are hiding, that usually brings 'em out

    If I recall, gaining access to alot of the areas in Durlag's Keep were dependent on obtaining certain runestones...I do remember having quite a few taking up inventory slots after I completed it.

    I don't remember whether this particular scenario required gaining a certain runestone or not. Could be the problem.

    Hi Cerryl, and everyone else, too!
    I kept getting my butt whipped on the chess-board, so I left D's Tower thinking I'd come back when I was tougher. Well, now I'm tougher, I'm back at D's Tower, and guess what? I can't get back to level 4! >>> I can't seem to get some of the shifting doors to open. Probably because the Helmet is not in the throne room (I must have taken it?). My question is: Do you only get 1 chance in D's Tower --- NO leaving & returning? Do I will have to reload (like Cerryl) and start ALL OVER :(
    Isn't there a CLUA code that allows me to "hop" to where my mouse pointer is? Anyone happen to know what it is?

    [This message has been edited by Ace of Spades (edited May 15, 2001).]

    BTW: The code I wanted (but didn't need or use) is CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys then Ctrl+J (this "jumps" the group to where the mouse-pointer is)

    [​IMG] Ace I think it's no "general" problem. You must have lost some runestone or some other thingy, because I lost 2 party members in level 4 so i went to the Temple in Nashkel and back in the Tower without (major)problems.

    [​IMG] Heh heh. Returned, took a nap in the throne room, and was then able to pick the lock on the South door(of throne room). Onward to more butt-kickins.
