Help! Can't get back to Durlag's Tower level 4

[Game Genie]

I read in the Stragety Guide section that "The spirit of Islanne offers to send you to the surface - good for a quick exit (and you can return quite easily as well)."

I went to the surface, but now can't get back to level 4. Not sure what it means by returning "easily"?! I tried to go back through each level but now can't even get past level 2 since all of the doors are shut. I try hitting the sparring dummies, but they don't open the right doors.

Ack! Any help? Thanks much in advance...

The dummies should work with a wierd and unknown to me combination. Just work at it. You may have to pan and run around to check results. Just try the doors. If I remember correctly there is a room with a chess board, it will just teleport you across I think?? Been a while. But fret knot, it is possible to get back, for sure.

Check out the guide for this level here:

Note that when you return to this level, the door to Room 5 should still be open (if not, hitting the dummies should open it). If the dummies are not working, then try a reload. Remember to hit them only a couple of times! And hit the correct one - the centre dummy should open the door to Room 5 (The Throne Room). Also note that the correct coloured stone (from Room 3 - The Bedroom) has to be in the dummy's inventory. In this case, it is the Red Stone.

Hope that helps!

Thanks!

Thanks much to you both...

I used your hints, and also finally had my Mage use the Knock spell to get me through the remaining doors. PHEW!

It is possible to leave and return to the lower levels of Durlag's Tower, it just requires a little bit of messing about. Good luck with Lvl 3 and 4!

Cheers,
