PLEASE HELP !!! Durlag's Tower - POSSIBLE SPOILLER

Hello,

I'm new to this forum (in fact this is my first post) and i really need your help - please excuse my english mistakes (i'm not speaking native english).

Possible spoiler !!!

I'm playing BG+TOSC without any mods and i'm stuck in Durlag's Tower, on the level in which you fight with the 4 elemental monsters.
I've killed all the monsters in that level, but i cannot find the exit to the next level. In the walktrough section i've read that after all the 4 elemental monsters rooms (ice, slime, air, fire) are cleared and the monsters are dead you are instantly teleported to the Chess Board, but this has not hapend to me.

When i killed the elemental mosters i was playing the 1.3.5508 version of the game. Yesterday, I installed the .5512 patch (the UK version - I didn't now how to identify which version of the game I have; since it is in english and i bought it in Europe i concluded it is the UK version) but this has not solved my problem - i didn't do all the fights again, hoping that after installing the patch, just entering any "elemental" room will trigger the teleportation.

Please, if anyone can help me find a solution to get to the Chess Board i would be very gratefull.

Thank you in advance

It could be that though you think tat you have cleared the rooms, you haven't. For instance, in one room there are invisible stalkers. To check that you have cleared a room, you can visit the various parts of the room and try to save. If there are enemies in the vicinity, you won't be able to save.
hope that this helps,

The Ice room is pretty straight forward, a bear and some wolves.

The Slime room is just the one slime as long as you use fire to kill it otherwise it splitts and reproduces.

The Air room has about 3 invisable stalkers and the Air Aspect or whatever it is.

The Fire room is a little tricky because the archer will shoot exploding arrows that spawn more phoenix guards. I save that room for last and sneak up on the first guard and wack em with ice arrows and magic missles which usually gets me warpped out to the chess board area.

Thank you for your reply, i'll try to do that when i get home.

Later edit: I tried saving in each room and i didn't have any problem doing it.
In the end I just reloaded a save from the previous level and did the entire level again. This time it worked (i got to the Chess Board) but in the last room (fire) i didn't even haved to kill both of the monsters (the Phoenix Guard and the Phoenix Archer) - after I killed one of them the teleportation was triggered.
I don't know what to think - the first time was too hard (impossible) to get to the Chess Board, this time was too "easy"

Thank you all for your help.
