I am probably months behind everyone else but I am trying to do as many of the dungeons as I can. I am stuck in a few places in Surgical Strike:

1. Missing Spaces. I have put a

boulder

in the crevice but the door still stays closed. Can someone tell me what the other articles I need are and where do I put them.

2. Close to the Altar of SAR there are 2 doors requiring turquoise keys (I think thats the colour anyway) more or less opposite each other. If you stand look at the Altar of Vi I need the key to the right hand door. Can someone tell me where I can locate this.

3. Where is the Giant Giggler everyone is talking about. I assume that he holds the 4th Master Key I need.

4. Again close to the Altar of SAR, when you complete this puzzle it mentions something about the Moon lighting the way, am I looking for anything specific in this area.

5. There is a door to the left of the door that you open to get to the two doors mentioned in question 2 above, how do I get through this keyless door. With the seethru spell I can see screemers behind the door.

6. Can someone publish a list of NON DM spells used in Surgical Strike.

Many thanks for all your help.

Hiya. You asked me about some of these privately and unfortunately my poor memory has not improved any! Here's some stuff that may or may not help though:

1) I couldn't solve this either. I tried to find other places in the dungeon to fill with

boulders

but it didn't seem to help any.

2 / 3) The Giga Giggler is beyond the door you need the other key for...

4) I remembered this one! You can throw the moonstone down the hall...

5) That's a return path from elsewhere, you can't get in from this side...

6) Some spells only work if you have certain items. Here's a few I have written down on my maps: YA GOR, OH VEN SAR, DES VEN SAR

In the "Missing Spaces" room, there are a few other places that are "missing" something.

For example, a hook. What would you hang on a hook? Lots of things, but there is an article of clothing in the room that will work. Keep thinking along those lines.

I'd like to try that again but I don't have a save game with the necessary item in the room. Could you please tell us what it is? (in a spoiler)
