I bought this, and played it for a while before it just stopped being interesting. I can't recall why, exactly, but it lacked a certain something. Maybe I'll fire it up again one of these days, since it would still be on one of my laptops somewhere. But I do find that if I abandon a game the first time I play it, I never get back to it.

Thanks, hagatha - I was wondering if I should give the game a try at some point.

And now back to our regularly scheduled Might and Magic VI thread....

I have a question about a quest. I was exploring the Temple of the Moon and then went to get the quest associated with it. I was only offered the quest for the Temple of the Sun. Do I need to do that first? If I finish the current one, will I get credit for it? I am at the last room and facing a horde of tough enemies, who heal if I leave the temple, which makes it very difficult.

Should I interrupt this quest and do the Temple of the Sun? It will be a full moon soon and I would like to finish if I could.

Pokey, I did the temple of the moon but Eleanor Vanderbilt didn't come at midnight, when there was a full moon. I haven't done the circle of Stones in Silver Cove yet to become a Great Druid is the reason, I guess. I have to wait until Sept. 23, game time, then in the Temple of the moon, I will become a Grand Druid. I sure hope I get credit for doing it before I got the quest.
Thanks
Kay

Sounds like we are in a similar situation. I was thinking it was the Temple of the Sun when it was actually the Altar of the Sun. I just missed the date by a couple days. That looks like an easier quest and I think it will work out. I don't have a Druid but wanted the XP.

Thank goodness I got the quest, Pokey. It was finally Sept. 23. Then I came back and Eleanor Vanderbilt gave me the quest for the Temple of the Moon. Now I have to wait for a full moon again.
I am doing the quest in the Lair of the Wolf now and trying to stay alive. The Greater Werewolf (the ones in red) sure are strong. I keep the Town Portal and Lloyd's Beacon busy.
Kay

Glad to hear it worked out. I have to wait 3 months to do the circle of stones, so will will work on other quests. I need to finish the Temple of Baa in Castle Ironfist.

I have a problem. I just bought the Fly spell and am not able to use it. I fly for about 5 seconds and then crash to the ground. I can't change the controls as there isn't any option to do so. Anyone have this problem before? It is going to make the game more difficult.

Has anyone used the Grayface patch? Do current saves still work and did you experience more crashes with the patch? I'm trying to solve the flying problem and being able to change the controls might work. It is not possible without the patch.

I'm using the Greyface patch. I have Windows 7-64 bit and it works great. No crashes or anything. I don't know how the saves work though because I used the patch and CD at the start of it.

Thanks for the reply on the crashing. I'd heard that some had problems. I think the saves might be compatible, but need to get more information on it. I'm playing on a Vista laptop and had no problem till now.

Was it any problem installing on Win 7 64 bit? I might move the game to my desktop if I can't get fly to work.

There was no problem except I had to download winzip because Greyface's patch was a rar file. This is a new gaming computer so I hadn't downloaded winzip yet. Other than that I had no problems. I didn't have to set the compatibility mode or anything else. I'm flying around everywhere. I had the old Millennium edition of Might & Magic.

I'm playing with a CD from the Platinum Collection, 6,7,8,and 9. I also have the big box M&M 6 that has a manual and a nice cloth map.

I cleared out Icewind Keep and got the Battlemage promotion. Now I want Master Bow for everyone. I tried getting into Kriegspire Castle, but it looks hopeless. The enemies are way too strong. Is there another way besides the teleport?

I didn't notice the pathway that shows on the map. Maybe that would be better.

That didn't go well either. Where is Desmond Weller? I thought he might answer the door. Do I have to go through the castle to find him?

Hi Pokey, You don't have to go inside Castle Kriegspire. He is on the outside of the castle, but you have to fly up to second floor balcony to get to him. He is in the middle door and the doors at each end just have NPC's behind them. The way I get to them is, I teleport to Kriegspire, then take the path outside to the castle. Just don't go inside. I have gotten rid of the the villains outside the castle.
Kay

Thanks, Kay. I hope I can fly far enough to get to him. There are a lot of nasties on the outside, but better than going inside.

How are you doing?

I'm just trying to stay alive on this game. It's harder than I remember. Could be because I'm getting older.

I always teleport to Kriegspire, have each person drink from the fountain to add the 30 levels, go to Whitecap and drink to add the thirty to might, then have my Cleric who has learned Light, cast spells Day of the Gods, and Hour of Power. Then have my Sorcerer do the protection spells.

Then I'm off to New Sorpigal to the Temple to get healing. If i just need healing, I can do it at the temple for $10. each if nothing else is wrong. I'm off to do my fighting then. Using Town Portal and Lloyd's Beacon, it isn't hard. It's a lot to do but worth it to be a little stronger.
Thanks
Kay

I'm going to have to pay 2000 gold to revive my Sorcerer, who was killed by a Minataur King. We can't travel anywhere but Blackshire without him and I'm not going to repeat the fight with the Minataur. It took forever running around the town.

I am at the Circle of Stones on June 21 as required, but nothing is happening. I clicked on the bench and then went to see the questgiver, but she was still giving the Alter of the Sun as the current quest. Any idea as to what is wrong? What should happen?

Does it need to be later in the day? Just taking a stab in the dark here

There are no other details, just on a solstice, which is June 21.

I've forgotten the details myself, Pokey, but is it definitely a "solstice" when you must attend and not an "equinox" ??

[In my notes I have the equinoxes as on 3/20 and 9/23 and the solstices as on 6/21 and 12/21.]

And is a specified time not stated .... like midnight or anything ??

[Probably no help - just throwing ideas around ]

It says on an equinox or solstice, but June 21 is one of the dates listed. No special time stated. A thought....this is a promotion quest for a Druid and I don't have one in my group. I thought that honorary promotions would be possible.

Hi Pokey, It still works without a druid in your group. I don't have one either, but when I clicked, Loretta Fleise came to me in the circle and made all my group honorary Grand Druids. It was anytime on that day. Mine was Sept 23.
Did she visit you there while you were in the circle?

Then when I went back to see her she gave me the one for the Temple of the Moon. That one has to be at midnight.

Nothing happened when I clicked on the bench. I watched a couple YouTube videos of the event. Both got there a day earlier and used Rest to advance to the next day. Loretta showed up for both. I don't think that has anything to do with my problem. Very strange and I have no idea as to what might be wrong. I did have fun running through town and getting the Gargoyles stuck between the houses. Easy to kill then.

Did you click on the Ceremony of the Sun when you saw Loretta? I went back and loaded a save and if I didn't click on the Ceremony of the Sun while she was there, then when I went back to her she still gave me the quest again. When I clicked on it, she had something different to say.
