I have tried and tried to open the last passages to the next level in the 4th level of the crypt ( the one after you get the shield) but I just cannot find the way through. for some reason room 5 that has the criticle lever to continue has a porticulus and I cannot find a way in.

Please help or I'm going to have to smash the cd this game came in into itty bitty peices and laugh insanely whilst running around my backyard nacked (except for a loin cloth) with a big marrow bone shouting aam shagaring useless F**king game.

Welcome to the Dot first thing. Now I am not at all sure where you are so go down a few threads to the walkthrough and maps one I posted and see if you can sort it out. If not tell us where you are by map level and room and most likely we can help you. No one ever had to quit here, get help yes, but it is doable.

I'm playing through Arx again right now. When I got the shield I headed for the exit to give it to the rebels instead of going lower. I figure I can come back later; I already know my way around anyway. Also, I sold things in my inventory and repaired my stuff. That's what I did, anyway. I became frustrated trying to go on in the crypt, so I figured just go collect on the quest I've already completed.

Spoiler:

Oh and by the way, when you give up that shield, you can get it back for free with a little searching.

Ok that one is a matter of shooting an arrow to a pad on the wall past the spikes once you open 5. That will close the spikes so you get to lever 6. See if we are talking about the same thing here and let me know.

Ok first off I am pasting a link to the PDF file page 55 which is a close up of that section of the map here. Make sure you are running version 1.17 also. If not get the patch from that same link I gave you earlier.

It may be you have done on out of sequence because it didn't triger. Go back and reset them to closed. Then leave the area, come back and start again. If that is not it I suggest you just reload your save before this and start over. Pain I know but this section can be touchy if you do one miss step. I had a heck of a time on one of my runs thru it.

Hope you get it sorted out. But don't waste time in there, reload and start over. The bad thing about some of the bugs is once they hit that is the only fix. Also reinstall the patch anyway, it won't hurt and it may reset it all. Just save first in a new slot.

I sometimes have trouble in this area even when I do it in the correct sequence. Well sometimes those late night sessions, at least you think your doing the right sequence.

This is the only complex pussle in the game so try not to give up.
Oh, wait there is the part when you get the pet, too.

Thanks guys but I have put this game on the back burner I cant be bothered running around this crypt anymore and have not had success in killing the golden ylside. (if I summon her where I can levitate out of range the game crashes so no good) I have now bought morrowind to see if I can get some of that enjoyement I had when playing this game with a clue as to how it works.

Regards all thanks for the help
