That's strange, as when I was able to cross the pit through hex-editing the savegame earlier, I found there just another Mine Key 2...

Actually, there is a two-handed sword on the other side, that is if you mean the two doors that look like a pattern of branches. This two-handed sword, forgot it's name, is the second best melee weapon in the game, aside of the best two-handed sword that is found as the game proceeds. And you get hurt slightly while trying to get that sword, it's on a kind of an emblem on the wall and it looks just like a pattern on the wall, but if you click there, you get the sword.

There's also a hidden spell in the game. You can find it in the west of Yvel. Click on one of the closed doors, and they'll come loose, so you can enter the building. It's usefull against ghosts. Westwood fans will probably recognise this spell!

You don't mean by chance the spell Hand of Fate? It's not really hidden, as far as I know, you can find it in more than one place in the game, but maybe that differs on different versions, I have the CD version with full speech of Patrick Steward. [/b][/quote]
Well, I've got the CD version as well, and what you're telling surprises me.

Are your saying you found a Mine Key 2 at BOTH niches?! That's odd...

I don't mean the branched doors. You can open those doors by shooting through them. This can be done if you first throw a certain switch in the Dungeons. Alternatively, you can stand in front of the door, save your game and load it. You will then always shoot through the grates.
I was talking about the door, that doesn't open if you press it's switch. Baccata will then say: "Blast, this door is jammed".

And as far as I know, the HOF spell can only be found at one location. If you did find it somewhere else, please let me know! But you weren't talking about the Dark Gauntlet, are you? That weapon let's you cast a level 1 HOF spell for no magic cost...

No, I didn't talk about the gauntlet... I think I was also able to find Hand of Fate earlier when I played the game in these dungeons below Castle Cimmeria while helping one of the races, but not completely sure.
And nice to know, that with the two doors. I shot through them, but didn't know that it goes with saving or the switch, so I thought they're one of the eternal mysteries of the game.
Also I'm not entirely sure, to be honest, if I found Mine Key 2 or 3 in that niche, but what I know completely sure is that I had one of the keys, and in the niche, after crossing it through hex-editing the position location in the savegame, there was completely the same key, which made me wonder back then for which reason it's placed there.

I see. That's really interesting! I've never found the HoF scroll that way, but you may be right. For example, there's a niche in the Urbish Mining Company that sometimes holds a Great Maul. It's only there in about one in fifteen games or so. Please let me know more if you remember anything else!

I think I was able once to find the Zephyr Ring, but that wasn't in Castle Cimmeria but rather in of these first forests, in some tree hole. Never found it again there, though I searched all three holes completely in each game, so it seems that some stuff in game is random.

Wow, I hope you did not confuse that ring with the Bezel Ring!

Could someone who has the Book of Lore add me to their MSN list so that I could get past that part in the White tower?? [EDITED]

I lost my copy many years ago when I moved!

As i understand it, Lands of Lore 2 was made only for windows.... so it should be inferior to the first part, but i could be wrong

I guess it's a little pointless to post this after such a long time, but I just wanted to clear this up: Lands of Lore 2 CAN be played under DOS; it's one of the last few games that actually had such an option! k:

Although it is made so that it could be played in Ms-Dos (I have the game on original disks myself), I never got it to play in Ms-Dos, it crashes there or in DosBox everytime and there is absolutely no way to get it to run and not crash there. Maybe corrupted files on my version of the game-disks...

[Undertaker]

Nah, I had that problem too while I played it under DOS. It runs best under Win95. I wouldn't know how to run it best in WinXP, but I could look it up, if anyone is interested.
