Durlag's Tower - problem

[kae]

seems something's up. the dwarf lady teleported me out of the tower and when i try to get back, i can't open the correct door to get back in. walkthrough says i have to attack the silver dummy to trigger the door to the throne room, but I CANNOT ATTACK it. i can attack the other two, but not this one. i can only search it for items. any ideas?

press the attack button first lmao

Try going pixel by pixel on the one in question. The container and the melee target are kinda lumped up.

[kae]

of course i tried the attack icon. it's greyed out on this particular dummy.

going pixel by pixel over it doesn't reveal anything... the other dummies have a kind of 'ghost' in this, revealed by the circle on the floor like people and creatures have. that's the one to attack. but the silver one doesn't have one of these

when in doubt use fireball.

[kae]

doesn't work neither

try cloud save and reinstall

For me Durlag tower was always quite buggy (had no issue in several games I made in EE though) and very risky to leave.

It was quite common that you were able lock yourself from progress on 3rd floor (particularly if playing with control room) or some teleport on 4rd floor refused to work.

If by any chance you have save prior leaving tower than go for it. Being so far you hardly need gold for selling stuff and there is no other good reason why leave anyway (can stock evrything in some crate for chance one will be able return later)

I long ago gave up completly trying to win Durlag's tower. But there are some goodies I pause to scarf up every time I play the game. There's a tome of wisdom, one of three in the game in fact. The first floor underground there's an excellent set of armor that I usually go off after.

But the traps, the puzzles, it no longer even tempts me. I have given it up for good.

The best stuff is in lowest level(s) though (like +3 2h sword or sling +3, Large shield +2...) Depend if you need it for your party or not. And fighting Aec'Letec is always fun challenge for BG1 group(at least prior googling strategy and tips for it:-))

If you really can't find another way, you can - as last resort - enable cheats and teleport on on the other side of the locked door with your party. Worked in old BG when teleport didn't work.

thanks for the tips. i do have a save from before i left. if there's not much left i might just go ahead with that and finish. my inventory is just so stuffed i wanted to sell stuff and lighten the load. but then i'm up to 100,000 gold, so i suppose to might as well just leave it on the floor! xD

If you made it to Islanne then you have already done the dummy part and don't need to do it again. I believe you are simply lost in the dungeon. Getting back is kind of tricky, since you have to go to the dinning area on Level 2, go the room North West of it, and then go Southwards. You will have to use the portal bridge again to get to the other side. And from then on, proceed as normal. On level 3, after you made it past the room with the fireball trap, go through the last of the "challenge rooms' and you will find yourself in the chess room again. This time around nobody will be there, so all you have to do is go through the door and you will be back in Level 4.

[kae]

can you get through without going through the throne room? i didn't see how that was possible.

[Včelí medvídek]

It all depend which ways you went and what doors closed behind you. And can be toally changed by playing with lever room and left only way to next floor fully opened.

I had faced that problem. but I solved. that target is exist nearby door of NW room. You will see sky blue circle when pause game.
