I found this secret room in the Maze below the crypts. It looks like a mana fountain of light, but I can't see any purpose for it. I've been there a couple of times, stood it in, found nothing else in the room. Anybody know what this is?
Also, the queens ghost has not triggered the last 2 times I've been down there. Once I killed the screaming woman first, once I didn't. Any ideas?:erg:

That must be the healing well. I looked all over for it, but never found it when I was down there. I hate crypts.
No idea about the queen's ghost, though...

Never heard of it. Where was it mentioned? I rarely was short of healing or mana potions so each time I was there, I was topped off. Kind of a strange place for it, unless there is a side quest I missed, the only thing threatening here was a mummy. One fireball and poof.

I believe it is a healing fountain although I never found anything in-game stating that there was such a place. I'll have to go back and check it out!

It is indeed the health well (never heard of it anywhere in the game, it just looked right given the cross in the middle). If your health is topped off, just cast bless and step over it.
The sense of putting it there, of all the places, escapes me as well, though...

it seems they placed it there for pure assassins and fighters a mage with fireball has nothing to worry about from any boss, not even akbaa.
which brings me to a second point. is there an effective way to play this game without being a mage?
i have maxed strength and maxed sword skill and my 35 casting and 9 inteligence seems to serve me better with fireball. i kill things faster and far more easily
