    [​IMG] Hi, everyone.

    I'm currently playing an elven mage (15th level, Chapter 6), so I would really like to find the Staff of Magi, which from previous posts is apparently somewhere in the Bridge District. Unfortunately, I have encountered several problems:

    (1) The house marked "Derelict House" has a locked door that I cannot open. Is there a key or time that it has to be opened? (I've tried the keys I now possess, and forcing it and picking the lock, but nothing works.)

    (2) I have one rogue stone, which I'm told is necessary, but so far, it hasn't helped me any. Do I need more than one, or do I need to buy them from a particular merchant?

    (3) I've tried all of the doors directly across from the Temple of Helm, but all of them are locked except the one that leads (downstairs) to the Elemental Lich, which I killed. Do the other doors require a special key? (Here, too, I've tried forcing and picking the locks, as well as the keys I currently have, but nothing works.)

    (4) Am I looking in the wrong place? (!)

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,
    Elven Flute

    You know the door that led to the Elemental Lich? The door on the adjacent wall is the one you want.

    Thanks, Blackthorne! Unfortunately, I still can't open that door. (Sigh!) I had Nalia search for traps, and she removed one, but the door is still locked and I can't enter. I have tried picking the lock, forcing the door, every key that I have ever found, and it's just not opening. Is this a bug with my copy of the game, or am I missing something?

    Thanks for anymore help you can give me!

    The door that Blackthorne said isn't where the Staff of the Magi is. It's actually in the door next to where the Lich is. When you found traps you should have found 2 trapped doors there. The on one the right leads to the twisted rune which is where you get the staff of magi. Once you got the door open have the Roguestone in your inventory and you should get teleported to the right place.

    Oh, dear--the Knock spell just worked. :) Leave it to an overly educated, book worm of a mage to overlook her own spell book!

    Regards for putting up with me!

    [​IMG] I'm sure no one here minds giving out information. Just make sure you help someone else who is in need and pay it forward.

    hehe, I haven't even seen that movie yet does anyone know if it's any good?
