Hello.
I'm playing QFG4 under Win XP DosBox.
Looks like i nearly reached the end of the game. I've took the essence ritual from the monster in the cave and completed the bone ritual. I see that the door of the blood chamber is pulsating and, afaik, it means i can enter there. But i just can't. It seems like i've tried almost everything to open the door, but nothing happens. From the different manuals i've found on the Internet it looks like i just need to act with a hand on it, but if i do so, character just comes to the door, and nothing more happens...
So, the question is: did anyone had this? How to overcome this?
PS
Character is Fighter

Hi,

You are indeed supposed to be able to enter the portal where the lips are vacillating.

I suppose the first question is: do you have the NRS patch? It is recommended that you start from scratch after installing it, which stinks since you're close to the end, but as long as you back up your saves I see no harm in installing it and trying to complete the game that way.

The patch is the last one in the QfGIV list on this page: http://tawmis.com/collector/Patches-Update...oryUpdates.html

Other ideas:
-Act on the door with your dagger (same way you got out of the bone chamber at the beginning - I don't think thats necessary but its been a little while since I went through that sequence)
-Try restoring to a few minutes before you go into the main chamber again (maybe right before you complete the bone ritual?), turn the detail and skill all the way down, and try again.
-Make sure you completed the bone ritual - something particular happens when you finish: SPOILER: You should be trapped in a bone cage after finishing the bone ritual.


Beyond that, I don't know. Does anything in particular happen when you try to open the blood portal?
