Pokey, I went to the plane of planes. I went back to Xanther and set off to free the elemental lords. The problem I'm having is getting back to the plane of planes. Is there another way to get there except through the crystal. I have to fight all over again and it's taking a toll on my whole party. HELP! Oh, also are the prisons anyway?

If you didn't set Lloyd's Beacon, yes you have to go through the crystal. I went through several times, but always used invisible. Doesn't take long since the portal is already open. Are you asking where the prisons are? One is across the water, one is down in the magma fields. The hardest to find is the one in the mountains--to the left as you exit the crystal.

Pokey, thanks so much for looking out for me. None of my party can do Lloyds Beacon. I thought the Nec could, but when I try to get grand water I think it is, it says she can't learn that. Then I have the cleric and the knight and two dragons. When I go into the crystal is it so packed with those things inside that being invisible doesn't help because I can't get past them. There just isn't enough space. I found two prisons and it says I need a key. I had a set of crystal keys at one time and they are gone now. I don't know what happened to them. I hope I can finish this game. Any help would sure be appreciated.

I believe Xanthor gave them to you, but if you lost them, go to the oracle near the Ravenswood obelisk and he should give them to you. You can get by the things in the crystal. Just keep to the sides and wait for a chance to get by. Save often in case you miss.

You may have left the keys in the inventory of a character you traded off. You might go to the inn and check first.

Hey Pokey, I went back and did the palace thing again and got the keys. I've been to the fire, air and earth planes and freed the lords. I have one left and can't find it. These mm games are really brutal and hard. I hope to accomplish this one. You are so helpfull and I really appreciate your time helping me.

Oh, so the Destroyer had it--saved you a trip through the crystal again. The prison of the Water Lord is in the area of the lava. I had to get a vampire with levitation to get through.

OK, I'm going to the lava area. If my party can't make it through, I'll go get a vampire too.

I hear that power healing may work too. I couldn't find the spell to try it. You might as well pick up a vampire though if you don't have that spell.

I finished the game. I was really dissappointed. I got a small cut scene and I was told I would get a screen savor to proove I completed the game. Then it was like I could carry on if I wanted to. I still had my party and I could move and so on. I guess I finished the game. Anyway thank to all for the help, especially you Pokey.

Congrats on finishing. I enjoyed the game though there are things I would like to change. This is the first Might and Magic game I have played and I understand it is not one of the best. I hope to play 6 and 7 sometime.
