So I'm in
Erim's temple, in the room with the Cthulhu statue. There's supposed to be a button somewhere to open the panel above the statue, but I can't find it. I saw a walkthrough that says it's between the statue and the wall, but it must be a mistake since there's nothing there :(
I am somewhat familiar with this great fm, and all I can suggest is to blindly frob everywhere between the statue and the wall, even all over the statue. Depending on your video card rendering, it may be invisible, or very hard to see. Not all objects render properly.

I see what you mean, but according to this walkthrough, it is a very tiny button :

quote: "tiny button is hidden between the statue plinth and the rh wall, and by pressing it you will open a secret panel above the statue." Between the base which the statue sits on and the righthand wall. Look again, as it is very very small. Squat so you can get close enough to frob. I have seen alot of buttons hidden this way. If you get close enough to the ground, you should be able to frob it, even if you dont see it.

I tried again, but nothing. I went into Dromed to have a look, and there's actually no button there at all!

This one isn't hard to see. The walkthrough says "rh wall" not "back wall".

I´m stuck. [spoiler]I am in The Shrine of Terror. and fell down to the water. There should be an ankh I need to proceed. The walkthrough says: "You will find the Ankh underwater, tucked behind a rock in the tunnel in the SE corner." But I can´t find any ankh lying there. [/spoiler] I am playing on normal with Patch 1.19.

The ankh on normal is [SPOILER]in the library area of the shrine on the floor, I think by a fallen pillar - I think I went behind the table to find it on the same side of the room as the book[/SPOILER]
I just went and confirmed it. It's in
the library inside the Shrine of St. Renall. I should add that in to the walkthrough. It was written for Expert but I believe it says it will guide people through the other difficulty settings as well so a note should be included about the different location.

@ Nightwalker: Thanks for your help. I could finish the misison. I spent 30 Minutes searching this ankh in the pool because of the in-game hint. Than I looked at the walkthrough and searched for another 5 Minutes. I really thought it was a bug because I would have never thought such a big flaw in the game design (a note hinting to the location of a key which is in fact wrong) could happen to such a talented author.
Btw: this was a great mission and by far the best Bonehoard-like mission I have ever played. Any other recommendations for that kind of Fanmissions?

Hey I've been trying to look up Doaal missions as I was a big fan of Mystery Man (and I've also played Sepulchre.)
Did doaal ever make any other missions, or were these the only two?
