BG2: Temple Ruins / Umar Hills

[Don Stubbs]

Clue please......

I'm in the temple ruins north of Umar Hills, going through the first
layer under the temple. I've obtained the sun stone and it was used to
open the first locked door. My party is now standing in front of the
shadow door and I can't get in because the sun stone is gone.

I went back to Umar Hills to see if anyone had any info or items, but I
can't find anything. No spells or weapons I have can open that shadow
door.

Did I use the sun stone prematurely on that first door?

Thanks in advance,

Don

How do you mean "used"? You just keep it in your inventory and the door
opens because you have it. If it's disappeared, that must mean it served
its purpose. Look around for another item that will open the next shadow
door. You need to search the temple thoroughly.

I think you can't actually open that second shadow door, but have
to walk around it and over the lava - which does, actually, work. (I
looked everywhere but couldn't find a Sun Gem that would open this
second door: it may be somewhere that I failed to find, or not.)

In any case, the *ONLY* way you could possibly have reached that
second door is by passing the first door of shadows, so you haven't
wasted a sun gem on the wrong door.

There is a third shadow door, which *can* be opened by a Sun Gem.
And another one, which can only be opened by holding the completed and
mended Symbol of Amaunator, which is currently broken into three pieces.
