I've done the crypt and gone back to check. Is the flaming skull in the same room where the warded key was? I don't see it anywhere. :confused:

You got me thinking more Slyfoxx and I think I know what happened. You killed him with a firearrow right? Hes too fast to catch and projectiles go straight through him but stangely the arrows kill him if you get the explosion radius to take place around him. Especially his feet.

About the flaming skull I am unable to break it. I grabbed the key and went as far away as I could, waited few minutes and went back, still there. Another theory failed too, I left before the event > went far away > waited and upon returing the event took place like I never left. "A hammer haunt ghost" blows up into skull and bones after running down the stairs. The flaming skull flies randomly everytime and on occasion its behind the Lost City "Bed". Wherever it is, its always on fire

Whao...something must have been broken then because I snuck up on him and killed him with the sword.

EDIT:

I really should have known something was up when I got to the room he runs into as there's no room brush around it.

Anyway I went back a save and everything worked fine.

Odd...I went back much later, so the event should have long since triggered. Interestingly enough, there is a patrolling hammer haunt ghost on the stairs. Is it supposed to be there? Is it possible that he never blew up?

Also, I read about the infinite ammo. Is there something I must find or do to cause this to happen? I used the first fire arrow to get through the boards in the beginning, but I haven't gotten anymore. The four zombies kill me pretty quickly since I only have the blackjack & sword plus 2 water arrows & 1 vial of holy water.

@ pav's

[spoiler]Use the sword on the zombies. I'm assuming you mean the zombies just past the teleport spot. They go down rather easy.[/spoiler]

Thanks Sly...I'll stop mucking around with the holy water first and go straight for my sword.

Well if hes floating on the stairs then kill him with fire arrows. I made him immune to most attacks but forgot about fire arrows.
Unlike the ape apparition, killing him wont be a problem since he blows up into bones anyway.

Infinite ammo was one of the last things to go in, so it was built without thinking of the "future". As far as I know the ape apparition is the only real problem, but how you sword him I have no idea. save/reload perhaps?

I don't have any fire arrows. I only had one at the start and used it.

Vlad Midnight on 7/1/2009 at 19:58

sorry, In room 21 when you get there. Its needed to beat the FM

edit:
Im thinking your missing the courtyard key, which is on the wall in the room with the breakable barrels.

I'm running in circles here. I have done all but getting out.

I know where the ladder is but I don't know a place where to use it and I can't return from down there where the zombies outside are.
I can't go through that gate (with a mage behind it) where a large unfrobbable lever is.

There are also some doors I can't open. Some seem to be blocked and for some I don't find a key. For example there is a double-door outside in the garden. Behind it there is another double-door I can't open.

I read here about some holy water, I didn't find any. Where is it?

I only have one lockpick. Where is the second one?

Am I supposed to find a rope arrow?

I'm playing on Normal.
