Playing this fun and addicting game for the umpteenth time and have a new problem. On the Witches Quest in the Main area - on Level 36, you go down the stair and can only go for a short distance in either direction. The hallways are totally blocked. I cannot progress to the next level unless I can get thru to the next down stair area. ??? This has never happened before on any level, so I'm really stumped.

All I know to do is to save my avatar and start over..........please don't make me do that.

edit: Nevermind. Here is a hint for anyone else stuck.
Control +Shift~
at the ? Key in Descend "#"

Thanks Atheen, glad you found it and shared it with us.
