I've taken care of the musicians and figured out all but one skull sigil (by the elevator); now how do I get to the Lost City portion of the mission?

The room with the conehead shaped creepy looking statue, that was holding a 'axe' and when you picked up the axe, a skeleton would appear to attack you. Use the door to the left and get up to where the big statue is with chains. The 'back wall' opens, when you use the ancient key on the lockbox.

Now I need some hints:
Yep, Gloria you're right, it did get quite scary, but I dispatched the musicians and dancers, they are now permanently dead. :ebil:

But i can't figure out, down in the King's Cross, there's a plaque that highlights. When I use the ancient key it makes a key sound. I think it probably unlocks the grate so I can get the scroll. Either it takes a key, or the skulls facing certain directions on the plaque is a clue to a puzzle somewhere.

Also in the corridor surrounding the organ room with dancers, there's a statue with a red jewel, behind a gate i can't open.

For now I will enter the Lost City. Thanks for any help!

Thanks Sensut, amazing so far :thumb:

2 questions:

How do I sabotage the organ?
There's a small room with a monument with 4 skulls, a locked cage with a scroll, and a wall plaque with a cross and 4 skulls. How do I open the cage?

Thanks to everybody, I'm glad you like it.

@Shadows and Azaran: that plaque is not a lockbox but a clue, there is something about the cross. More: check the skulls.

@Azaran: There is a hose in the organ system that must be protected of sharp objects.

Really enjoying this, but there is a slight 'problem'.

When I am fighting the skeletons with my sword, sometimes the sword passes straight through them! I have to hit them in the 'right' place, around the centre to get a hit, if i try to hit slightly above that, i can't hit them. This also happened, when fighting the very tall musician.

This is very frustrating, considering how tough opponents they are and EVERY hit has to count. Not to mention the fact the skeletons, actual sword length is longer then their appearance. I am also playing on Expert, so don't have many hitpoints. Don't get me wrong, I've already gotten to the Lost City and haven't lost a single hitpoint.

I understand that the 'skin' of the skeleton, and it's actual collision detection area, may differ, but it's kinda unfair, especially, when the two should match up. Thought I would point this out as constructive criticism. Of course, if this is a limitation of the Dark Engine, then fair enough. :cheeky:

Yes, unfortunatelly it's a engine issue which affects this type of AI. We noticed it during the test but I found no any solution to fix it. :erg:

Need some help please.

Could someone give me a clue as to where and how to find the Missal? I haven't come across hair nor hide of it. Thanks!
