It's like the first time you had this problem Yoga. You don't see an animation when using the lift or different looking walls after using it but you change the level nevertheless.
To make sure on which level you are just walk a few steps (when in doubt turn right), you'll soon arrive either at the mountains where you see open space on the ground next to the path or at the chasm where you have to use the rope to cross to get to the castle.

A few pages back in this thread there is more explanation about using this lift including a video link.

You only have to use it once to get to the castle, there's no need to ever return to the mountains.

Totally confused.
Plus the danger that very soon my HDD is going to hell.
Oh, i will use my second PC, no problem.
No, i did already all necessary records of my info on DVD and big flash memories devices.
Dear Kmonster, thank You for continues support.
But i feel like a prisoner in dark chasm, who hits his head in invisible barrier.

I have to visit the PC service for installation of my new HDD.
Maybe one-two days i will not use this PC but my second one.

I saw again and again the scene of Capo's video clip concerning the lift.
No, my lift does not work at all.
The protagonist in Capo's video after pressing the button on the wall immediately is transferred in Hazardous area. Nice..
In my case i press and press the button. No any result. I am no stupid idiot, who does not know where he is. I was in these locations so long time that all details around are recorded in my memory.

I will try to show my action by video clip.
Or the game is bugged or the device after keyboard is bugged.

:((
Rats!
:sucks:

Just cast Town portal, or L'loyd's Beacon:smugulon:

Ah, what a good advise!
Maybe is better to use spell Passwall?
No, the best way is to find Balaton sea and swimming to reach the Castle..

...My new HDD is installed and yoga uses it to write these words.
The old one will be used till die. I lost only 2 LP of tradd. irish folk band Bothy band, but this is no big problem.

..Tomorrow the brave will be transmute in experienced agriculture specialist who will cut off the vine sticks.
Caro Capo, You did this operation?

Sry, your princess is in another castle:ouch:

When you can read "E-Z LIFT *DOWN*" you are at the castle level. You have to turn around using the direction keys and walk away then, do not press enter, else you'll use the lift again to get back to the mountains.

You can go to the dwarven smith before leaving and buy a SAI weapon there, it can be used in your ninja's second hand (so you still can choose KICK in battle) when hands & feet skill is maxed, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Bravo! No, im pretty bad in manual works :whops:

You managed to post the video ?

:smile2:
Yes.
This one showed in the image.
Nice?
Do You know it?

I tried starting to play Wizardry VI many years ago. I'm not sure what happened.
I ran around a bit until I was attacked. I couldn't hit shit and I couldn't be hit by enemies, I encountered 3 rats and after 4 minutes of misses my Dracon hit a rat for a whopping 3 damage.
I'm sure I did it wrong, tho.
Oh yes, and a crow croaked outside.

Really, Wizardry VII was kinda better on the very first run. Once I found a map kit and got past that Rattkin ambush anyway. Well, maybe I'm gonna give Wiz6 another try again one day. There must be Something useful one can do with that missing, but mentioned in the game's exe, VGA.DRV file.
