I try to go to the 3rd Shaman, but a gate blocks me !HELP!
   

I have actually beaten all of the other Shaman in the sleeper temple..I have 4 swords. So I realized I skipped one, by searching the temple I found that when I went underground and found this room....it has switches on the other side but I can't figure out how to open the gate. I'm so close to beating the game but i need help getting this gate open!!! Please help!

I'm still trying to figure out where you are having the problem.

As you solve the second lock-puzzle (in the room on the left), the door opens to the shaman straight ahead, the four pillars rise up to allow you to climb to the second shaman's tomb and a gate down in the crawler tunnel opens. The crawler tunnel allows you to get to the tomb of the thrid shaman (the "normal" passage is collapsed). This third shaman is the one who's tomb has three switches that conjure up two demons and then the shaman himself.

The fourth shaman is on the "island" in the room of lava and the last is just before the gate to the Sleeper's area.

If you solve all the lock-puzzles as you go, I don't know why a gate is still blocking you from one of the shamans.

I've beaten all of them, except that one
   

I have beaten all of the shaman except the 3rd one. I've solved the puzzles, hit all the switches, but when i go to the underground enterance when i get to the room with the 3 switches it has a gate on it. I can't even get to the 3 switches. The gate blocks the entire thing. I've already got the other four swords, but I can't even reach the switches for this 3rd shaman.

Sounds like some sort of bug or weird happenstance. Usually, as soon as you step into the room, the gate closes behind you and you have to defeat the shaman and get his sword to unlock the gate and get out. Maybe some creature or other blundered in there and triggered the gate?

Anyway, at this point I think the best way to proceed is to activate Marvin mode (bring up status screen and type: marvin ), then get out of status screen (it should show MARVIN MODE in upper left of screen as you exit status screen). Then go right up to the closed gate and type the letter "k". You will magically be displaced just inside the gate.

This is a cheat, but if the game has already messed up on you, this may be the only way to move the game forward from here.

Itīs also possible you overlooked a switch which unlocks this room. Hard to say since we still donīt know which of the shamans is missing. Maybe you want to have a look at our maps and our walkthrough.

thanks, i'm gonna try the marvin mode. It is Varrag-kasorg that I haven't faught yet. When i first unlocked the gate to the underground, and the pillars to the 2nd shaman...I actually wasn't following the walkthrough...i was playing....so instead of going up the pillars I went unground cause i thought it would be fun. But when I got there the gate was down and krazy skeletons were trying to attack me through the gate. I killed them through the gate and the gate never went up so i went on to finish the rest of the game. I hit tons of switches and nothing ever happened...i just assume like one of you said that a monter triggered it. But marvin mode will help. Thanks!

Ah, hah. From what you say I think the skeletons themselves must have triggered the gate. Usually they are in "frozen" positions outside the gate waiting for you to come close, then they attack. If they were inside the closed gate and already moving around when you got there, they must have become active and triggered the gate.

If this is true, Marvin Mode "k" is probably the only way for you to continue the game at this point.
