I'm having trouble with this first hallway where four doors in a corridor and a option to move forward that causes party to abandon you. there is a magic door I can't enter. Opposite of that door is a small room with some kind of puzzle grid found when the brick opens that I can activate but I can't get to do anything. there is also some kind of reflective cross that appears briefly on a wall in a hidden two section room that I can't get to do anything. & in the dark dwarf map the opening in the ceiling is barred so I can't use orb to enter. Don't remember sucking at this game so much the last time around. I'm at a dead end yet again please help.

One of the dark dwarves has a scroll which contains the solution to the grid puzzle, but it's very hard to figure out (at least, for me) so I had to use a walkthrough at this point...

After you enter the right code, you don't get any indication or sound that would sign that you were correct, but now you should be able to enter the magic door that was locked before.

Any clue as to what the scroll reads? I have two scrolls with random shapes on it but no words. All it says when I read is hmm....interesting. I tried to use the "read tings" rune but no luck. I know I killed all the dark dwarves and there aren't any scrolls left to get. I have no access to a walkthrough for situations like this. Somebody please help I am at a dead end.

You have the right scrolls... they are supposed to indicate which buttons to push on the "button grid" panels you encounter in the tower. You should see a grid made up of two symbols; one symbol means the button is pushed down, the other symbol means the button is not pushed. If you map those symbols onto the button grid you should be able to figure out the right combination.

I forget the exact combination though, so if you can't figure it out, you'll need a different forum member to get you the solution.

Push the following buttons:

first line - 1 , 2
second line - 4
third line - 1
fourth line - 3, 4

THANKS!!
