Kresselack's Tomb Door that won't open

Remove all ads!

You all know this door! Level One of Kresselack's tomb: There are three paths, one with the statue, one that is open, and one that isn't. I have raided everything, and I have NO CLUE. I even bought the walkthrough guide. HELP

 

In order to get into the tomb you need two keys. They are found in other crypts in the Vale. Go check out the walkthrough on this site for more details.

 

I have all of the keys. I really don't think that that is the answer. There is not even a doorway to the passage that I am supposed to go down.

 

i am not sure which door you are refering to. i know that you need to have the holy symbol of Myrkul to open one of the doors. your best bet is to check the IWD walkthru on this site, here ya go:

Is this the door that has the open switch on one of the columns facing it? If so, look for a switch - once you've gathered whatever keys you need - on one of the columns in the room, the column closest to the archway you initially entered the room by (Maybe I'm thinking of another room)

 

OK, my turn to try to answer.

This is the first level of Kresselack's tomb. So it isn't the usual problem with the switch, which comes later. And you're already inside and anyway there's no door, so it isn't a problem with keys.

I think you're having a common problem in this area. You're looking at the far wall of a corridor. You think there's nowhere you can click, but you can pretty much tell you have to go in that direction.

But you can click on the floor. It's just hidden behind the near wall. It's right where you think it is once you realize what you're looking at. Or move the mouse pointer to the far wall, the part you can see. Then move it down (south) slowly until it changes into the pointer that you can click to move. That's the floor.

Lots of other people have a problem with this. In fact, a whole mythology has been invented to explain it. Stuff about a tricky path that's difficult to find and how you have to click in just the right place and your party will find a mysterious path to it. But it's all nonsense. It's just that the floor is hidden by the near wall.

 

I wonder if they did this on purpose to slow people down to make the game seem longer?

Yes, the last few people were right, You just can't see the entrance to the hallway the way the room is drawn. Wow, that was really frustrating! Thanks for all your help
