Stuck in the Ossuary: the new method.

[BlahBlah]

Working at completing the game and liking it very much.

But I'm stuck in the Ossuary. Not on the chest puzzle, which seems to be the main problem there. In fact, I haven't even seen that puzzle.

I'm stuck just after defeating the first Poltergeist. There is a door in the same room, that has a lever on the other side. The answer must be very obvious, but I'm stuck after endlessly backtracking and after that poring through walkthroughs.

So make me hit my forehead and tip me off.

If you had to hit something at a distance, what would you do?

There's kind of another solution, too, but it involves coming at the problem from a different direction.

If you really want to know, I'll explain both of the things they said, as well as your problem with the chests. If you don't just want a spoiler, then it's simple - don't read this text.

Kreador Freeaxe's solution - throw a rock at the lever, or shoot it with an arrow. That will activate the lever.
SpottedShrooms solution - Skip this for now. Go to Crakamir, and in the second region to the north, go all the way to the north. There is a cave. Go through there and work your way back through the Ossuary backwards.
Solution to the chests - Womb of a tree: And apple, Consumed by fire: Ash, Endless circle of metal: Any ring, preferably tin or copper, because they are cheap, The other one - (sorry, I forgot, it's something about bashing things): Any bludgeoning weapon, preferably a wooden cudgel, because it is cheap.

You know, I've never actually tried that. For some reason I assumed you couldn't get through that way until you did the part in the middle.

I never thought about it either, until he made that post. Sounds like an interesting way. I was wondering if there would be parts you couldn't pass, due to levers and such, but I can't check, because my Book I file got corrupted.

Actually, the first time I played Book I I did it Spotted's way by accident.........
