Stuck in Level 2 of Durlag's

    Hey everyone! I have a slight problem. After clearing the Greater Doppelganger level of Durlag's, I figured I'd leave the tower, sell some treasure, and rest up before tackling the next level. The problem is that I came back to find the doors on either side of the "throne room" closed and they won't open. It isn't a wardstone issue - I've kept all of those. So now I'm stuck and can't get through the corridor to get to the next level. I swear I remember having this problem when I first got ToSC, but for the life of me can't remember what I did.

    Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Going from memory here... I remember that one being really tough.

    Isn't there a room which has a wall full of switches that you can use to open/close any door on the level? and I believe there's some doors that can only be open when others are closed.

    sorry for the vague answer, I remember having that problem, and I think I only got out through trial and lots of error.

    Try hitting the training dummies. If I remember correctly, picking up the helm in the room opens the doors, which you can't do... The switches that were referred to can't be reached until those doors he was talking about are opened.

    Exactly. The left dummy closes the door to the room they're in. The center one opens/closes the bedroom with the wardstones. The right one opens/closes the throne room. The switches are on the other side of the door. The helmet is already picked up. Basically, the only trigger I know of to open those doors (picking up the helmet) was already done and I can't find another.

    At any rate I installed the 3rd patch release hoping it might fix the issue (or fix issues regardless) but instead it made BG cause a GPF every time I start loading a saved game, so I had to reinstall (sans patch). I managed to keep the save game I made at the start of this level, making this topic not of immediate concern, but I'd still like to find an answer for this because I'd like to leave the tower knowing I can get back in.

    That happened to me, too. I had to REST in the throne room, then pick the lock on the SouthEast(?) door AFTER RESTING!!!
