Ice Temple glitch?

    [​IMG] I'm in the lower level of the Ice Temple and I've done everything except get past the Shadow door to Auril's Altar. I get the lightning gun and mirrors all lined up and I can see the lightning bolt hit the door, but it doesn't open. I still get the same old shadow message when I click on it.

    Three things come to mind that might be significant:

    1. I've only complete up to rank 6 in battle squares. Do I need to finish them all to unlock that room?

    2. When the lightning bolt aimed at the door hits the mirror/prism right before the door, it splits into two bolts. One slams into the door (to no effect) and the other continues down the corridor. Is there something I'm supposed to do to stop it from splitting and get "both" bolts to hit the door?

    3. Speaking to Nickademus was about the last thing I did on this level before shooting the lightning gun to open the treasure room south of the Mirror of Life Trapping and to apparently *not* open the shadow door. I asked him to share his wisdom and then he wandered off after giving about 5000 XP. Now I can't find him, though if I loot his dresser he shows up in the gun room and is hostile (I was a little surprised that I "lost" the game by killing him).

    So, did I miss something or is this just a glitch?

    Getting into that door has nothing to do with Battlesquares.

    As Harbourboy said, it's not necessary to finish the battlesquare to open the door (heck i didn't do the battlesquare thingy at all ;P).

    As for Nickademus going MIA, yikes!!! You could hit him with the bolt and go hostile... same thing happened to me once. Best go look for him until he returns to his bedroom and trap him there or at least make sure he's not standing on the bolts line of fire.

    And for opening the door, IIRC let one party member stand on the shadow before firing the bolt.

    For more info, here is a little walkthrough from gamebanshee:

    OIC. I was waiting for the "Embrace the Shadow" door to open. Didn't know that you could port into that room first. Thanks for the info.
