That's what I thought, but for some reason it won't let me go back up. This is the dismal chamber at the bottom of the steps, yes? I wonder if I forgot to do something before I came down here that has trapped me?When you EXAMINE CELL and see your sister, you should be able to go W, E, N, UP
Ziggarat of Dread
Moderator: Alastair
dismal chamber area
When you are exploring that area (I think it's below the slab), examine the slime and the hole. You should find something that will help you go up from the dismal chamber in the "filthy, littered" room.
There are two ways into the ziggarat - once is moving hte slab; the other is when you are facing the ziggarat directly.

not wooden
I really do need to reorganize my notes. Not the wooden one here, but the metal one. So, you have to get into the ziggarat the second way first. You start with EXAMINE ZIGGARAT, and go from there.
Game Crash
Thanks for POINT. I kept trying to WAVE.
Sadly, I am experiencing the same game crash you reported when exiting south from the high priest's room. I do hope this game isn't fatally flawed

I suppose...
Well, I suppose we could back up to Krank and see if we can go down where one gets creamed by the falling rocks. But that doesn't seem likely. There must be something one can do to get the key?
What about using the wooden stake and the "heart"? I'll try and get to it tomorrow.

after vestments
After getting the vestments, I went W, S, and pointed the bone at the bloodstained alter. Then I got the key. But I do not know how to use it at the cell.
There is also that area north of the food hall where there is another force screen. The wand does not work there; neither does the key...
Still have not found a use, or a verb, for the stake.
So I guess we're still loooking for verbs.

I also got the key but can't seem to free my sister with it.
re: Force Screens - I never figured out how to make it past the first one - and I've never come close to a food hall?
I'm hoping these questions mean that there is still a way to finish the game without successfully exiting the high priest's chamber south with the symbol...

force screen
At the first force screen, POINT BONE. Going W, E, N, takes you to the cell area. Pointing the bone lets you go up; west gets you to the food hall, then north to the other force screen. POINT WAND does not work here. It's my opinion that opening it will create a new exit.
Guido, it may soon be time to cheat.

would you believe??
POINT BONE (once again) frees Zelda. But I can't seem to get, carry, rescue, etc. Even after that I get booted out when I return to the high priest's place. Maybe one should do something with the symbol there?
Still don't know what to do with the key?
Are there any doors somewhere which I missed?

Argh! The inventory management in this game is driving me nuts. I keep ending up with the wrong 6 things. And now that I have freed Yelda she's taking up one of my inventory slots making matters even worse! As for getting her, all I did was POINT BONE and she ran right into my arms. I think you need an available inventory slot for her to show up in your posession.
Now, back to that 2nd force screen. I wonder what to bring with me? Too many objects, too few slots

ZIGGARAT
Hi all.....
I couln't resist not trying out this game...
I think I have got to the part where you are struggling. The 2nd force screen in the Airy chamber. I have my sister, crystal key, bone wand, dagger and iron helm...
I have not found the vestments as Terri talks about.
I cannot exit south from the High priests room with or without the symbol.
So it appear we are all stuck....
I kill the mutated slave in the food hall with the metal spike.
So do we all abandon this one as un-solvable?

let's wait a bit
You can get the vestments at the other priest's room: from the ziggarat, go D, N, W, D, S, KILL PRIEST (don't remember with what), and the vestments should be there. They are needed to fool the high priest.
I e-mailed Guido who said that cheating in this game was easy, but I haven't heard back, so let's wait until he responds. Maybe he's on holidays in a nice warm spot.
I have not tried yet with the objects that you have Doreen, so if you want to try that go ahead. Since inventory is limited, some of the objects you had you'll have to drop. Maybe we need to do something to the symbol?
However, a boot out implies a bug, rather than not being able to do it, no?
