I think I remember. If you click on your map once into the castle look on your right, upstairs and you will see a spiral. There is no marker but I pressed on the wall and it open around that spiral looking thing. Hope that helps.

I made it into the Castle of Fire, but everytime I jump on the block to lower it, a fire monster gets me before I can get off again. I'll try again tomorrow.

I am in the long room with hanging walkways and a lava fall at the other end. I can't make the jump on the side walkways. I did try going down the middle walkway and up the last support, but that hasn't worked yet. Any ideas are appreciated, but I need to stay invisible.

Made it across the room. I found an opening I could jump across by going down the middle walkway and up the support to the right side. Have the fire heart.

Pokey, you only need to get the heart of fire right? I'm going back now. How many dragons do you have? I only have one because I didn't feel like training another party member this late in the game. I am at the war room I think it's called. Nothing there but a hot plate and I go to the upstairs and nothing is there. I found out I could cast invisible again as long as no one is in sight. Somebody will drop in to give you a hand. I'll be back if I make any headway. Good luck.

I was going to buy oblivion today, but I don't think my computer can handle it. I may need a new video card.

I have the heart of fire and am in the Plane between the Planes, in the castle. I used invisible to get here but the enemies are weak and few, so I'm just fighting them. Still have a few doors to open before I meet the Destroyer.

You probably don't need another dragon, but if you decide to get one, Brimstone is pretty powerful.

Good for you Pokey! Your moving right along. I am having a devil of a time in the plane of fire. I'm trying to progress and make my way back to the portal when my party is too bad off, but I can't get out of the portal. Is there a trick to getting out? I guess I could use Caurie teleport spell if she survived.

I used invisibility until I got to the heart. I teleported back once but that was because I coudn't make the jump off the descending pillar. I just teleported out when it started descending and then made my way back and it was all the way down. It isn't hard to avoid the enemy when invisible.

I'm not sure what your problem is. Are you tryng to walk out? How far have you gotten in the castle of fire?

Invisibility is an easy way to get Brimstone too. Do you still have Stormlance? I would think he would be a handicap since he can't use spells. I have two dragons.

I've done three of the prisons. Only the water prison left which is giving me problems. I can't get across the lava without a vampire and levitate. I could have used the power heal for my cleric, but I never saw it come up to buy. Guess I'll teleport back, get a vampire, level her up to master and return. Maybe I can also use invisiblity.

Using the vampire and invisibility made it very easy. Finished--and I even forgot to apply my last skill points. Finished about level 60. Glad I was able to complete the game.

Pokey, I keep forgetting I can teleport. I've been running back to the portal itself. Duh! I hope I can finish the game this evening.

I went to the store to get Oblivion and the store I went to was sold out. My computer will not handle Oblivion. Did everyone get new computers?

If you teleport back and forth, you lose your invisibility, but it wasn't needed except at the water lord prison. I walked back to preserve it. The prisons were quite short, except for the earth one that took a lot of jumping. My computer handles Oblivion pretty well. You could probably get by with a new video card. What are your specs?

Petnium 3, 550 mgh, memory is 256+.

I'm still trying for the heart of fire. I went back and got another dragon. I guess I should take him to the orignal dragon cave to get him upgraded. I might turn in Cauri or my cleric for something else. Do you know if anyone else can heal?

CONGRATS on finishing the game.

Do you remember where to get Lloyds Beacon?

You can get it in Alvar. You need a Water grandmaster to use it. Might need a necromancer for that. Anyone that can use body magic should be able to heal. Can't you use invisibility to get through the fire plane? I used it till I reached the heart. I didn't use Lloyd's Beacon much. Only place it came in handy was the Plane of Earth.

Looking at your specs, you need a total upgrade to play Oblivian--CPU, video and memory.

Pokey, I guess I'll trade my cleric for a necromancer. I have a dark elf that has invisiblity, but she can only learn it up to master, not grand. It doean't seem to last very long. I can't get far in the castle of fire.

Good luck with your computer Smiley. I'll be wathing the board to follow the Oblivion thread.

If I played again, I'd chose the Necromancer as my character instead of the Dark Elf. Invisibility is really useful in the fire plane. I didn't need it in the prisons except for the Prison of the Water Lord.

Where are you in castle of fire?

If you know the route through the castle, you might be able to get through with just your Dark Elf. It doesn't take long. You could also add skill points to get more time. You might be able to clear out a space and cast invisibility right outside the castle. Much easier with a GM Necromancer though if you can manage that. Have you gotten to the long room with the lava flow?

This is where I've gotten in the castle....I only know of one door to enter. I go in and jump across to a ledge on the left. Then there are two rooms of winding road with lava at the bottom. I make it through the 1st and then the 2nd and going down against the wall there is a red hot spot and when I click on it it opens and I get blasted/dead. If I go down a little farhter I think it's just hot lava. The problem is when I first go inside and use the cast jump I loose my invisiblity. Same thing happens again when I enter the red hot spot on the wall. I'm getting ready to try again. I traded the dragon from Shadowspire for Brimstone in Regna. Thanks!

You don't need to cast jump. I was able to get through without it.

Thanks Pokey. As it turned out I fought my in and I got back to the front door again. I'll try again today. I think I'm close. I can't believe I fought all those fire thugs, what ever they're called.

Congrats. You're by the hardest part.

Not so sure about that Pokey. It's been really hard so far. I have had to leave, dropped dead, and return. I hope I can send a message that I finished. This inside the crystal is hard. I will manage I hope. Thanks so much for your help and support.

I used the invisible spell to get to the palace, but didn't need it inside. Lots of room to back up while throwing spells and there are not a lot of enemies and they are not very strong. I did find a nice map of the palace which was a great help.
