Blocked in Cania

[Legacy_Vaalyah]

               Just to provide a picture, I am here: 
http://www.gamebansh...stesofcania.php
were the number 5 is. There is the portal, or better, I can see 2 pillars but there isn't any door between them. I am wearing the Sleeping Man's ring. So... why I can't see any arrow since when I past the lava river, and why I can't see the door? Any help please? '>

               Go to the blocked passage, equip the Sensei's amulet, transform into the appropriate form and bash the ice away.  The view of the portal in the Wastes of Cania is just a teaser.

               o_O so are you saying that programmers wasted their times for mocking us?

               Nah!  Just testing your ingenuity with the inducement of a dangling carrot, madam. '>

               To say the truth, I found the portal. Just between the pillars. o_O and also the arrows where there... I am starting to think it's a bug problem...

However, you have not 1 but 2 emails. The second quite urgent :-D (I know, shameless!)

That's not the portal that she is having a problem with.  She is a little bit past that.  Anyway, I don't think that it is the amulet that she needs to put on, but that "FHL" ring that you get after meeting the Sleeping Man.  The amulet makes you polymorph, but that ring is what reveals certain plot essentials along your way. 
Vaalyah, that ring will prove quite helpful along your way.   Make sure you use it. '>

               The thing is that I HAD the ring equipped... everything was violet and I could see the arrows. Then, suddenly, no more arrow to be seen. In the end the problem got fixed on its own. I just had to re-enter the game and arrows and portal were there. Maybe a bug?

               You can have those rings in your quick slots, and switch them accordingly, seeing easily both "sides" of the same world at the almost same time.

My bad then.  I was replying off that pic that was referenced for Wastes of Cania.

               @jmlzemaggo: that's what I do. Still, I think it was a bug. All violet, ring equipped, but no planar things shown till I reload the area... o_O

@ Hip: don't worry, you are always my NWN hero! :-) (answering your email)

               Ok, blocked again. This time here: http://www.gamebansh.../puzzleroom.php point number 2. Usually I play, then if I really can't get on with the game, looking to walkthrough, then again, if neither that works, coming here asking for help.
All the statues are in the right orientation, the levels have been pulled, I pulled the last level (near where number 2 in the map is) and then... the statues start to beam a sort of lighting strikes but the electricity in the door doesn't vanished.
Maybe it's time for me for exiting the game and loading it back again? :-P

EDIT:
I read a strange message in the chat window "it has not worked... it must be something wrong". Priceless '

They're probably right.  There must be something wrong! 

When you moved the levers on the 3 block islands out in the lava, did they all make a sort of a weird growling sound when they changed to the correct color?  If not, go back and try to reset them.  IIRC it doesn't matter when you turn the statues, either before setting the island levers or afterwards (I believe I've done it both ways).  I think each of the statues will glow a blue color when their respective lever has been adjusted properly.

 That's the only tricky part trying to be patient waiting for those island arrows to move just right.  Then just rotate the statues until the beam comes out and pull the master lever up on the platform behind the center statue.

               Ehm... which correct color? ooooops!

I had one yellow, one pink and one blue... maybe that could be the problem!

[reading the walkthrough]

Ah, ok, also the wlakthrough says that they must be flashing blue. Ok, it's official. I am totally idiot. Sorry guys for having annoyed you all! [shame shame shame]

               I am totally idiot. And I have been working on it for more than 50 years. Would you mind waiting in line?Some youngsters...

hey, what can I say? I can always hide behind the fact that the walkthrough is written in English! [whistle] you know, language problem... :-P
