I've made it to Skullcrusher, but cannot get through the portcullis guarded by the automaton. Is this a bug, or something I haven't done? Anyone got any ideas.

When I double-click on the runes, they all work as they should (the green "sparkles" etc) except for the last one, which is suppossed to open the gate. Instead I get a red sparkle, a puff of smoke, and the game says "Thou has't forgotten something" I don't believe I HAVE forgotten anything. I've got the Ice Dragon Blood, given it to Yenani, the child has been healed, Yenani has told me about Skullcrusher, but I'm NOT SURE that I was given the password to Skullcrusher - even though Yenani should have given it to me when I handed over the bucket of Ice Dragon Blood. I even went back and got another bucket of Ice Dragon Blood hoping that may reset a flag in the game - didn't work.

Is there any way to check that I was given the password? I looked right through the "Balancing The Scales" hint book to make sure I have done everything required, and it certainly appears that I have. Still I can't get through (without the teleport cheat - which I really DON'T want to do if I can help it)

Any one got any ideas?

I forgot to mention - I'm using the latest snapshot from your website, Win 98SE 256MB RAM P4 1.5

Mmm... well, I don't htink Yenani gives you the password as soon as you
hand over the blood.

You probably should talk to the kid whose life you saved, the kid will thank
you. Others will thank you too, and that's probably what would set the
"make password available to the Avatar if s/he asks about it" flag.

Or talk to the monks a bit, see if any new topic comes up, then go back and
repeat the above paragraph.

The password aka "secret" topic will remain there once it was activated,
so if you have received it once, you will be able to get it again through
the conversation tree.

Thanx notAdragon, you're a legend. I tried what you suggested (I had already spoken to all the gwani and the kid I saved, but did it again anyway) and then spoke to all the monks - maybe I hadn't spoken to one of them even though I thought I had.

Went back to Yenani and got the password.

Thanks very much again.

glad to be of service.
though I have to humbly decline the title "legend" you've bestowed
upon me. I haven't done enough to be worthy of the reward...

Did you track Batlin's amulet using the hound in the interim? This was necessary in the original SI to get the gate to open, I believe, otherwise you'd get the 'Thou hast forgotten something...' message.

Yeah, you have to use the dog whistle, then the dog will point north when you make it sniff the medallion. You have to trigger this flag else it will be forever "Forgotten something"
