Please help: Stuck in Dark Sun II (minor spoiler).
Eugene V. Kalinin
Anybody still remember this game? As a result of my screw up I am
stuck with no way out (and no save game to restore).
Here is the situation. I just defeated attack on Veiled Alliance, the
wizard is captured, the leader told me to look in wizard's secret
archives for locations of four artifacts.
In search for archives I used a tapestry north of laboratory and
ended up in closed area with some busts, broken mirror, a parrot
and a mute man. I was stupid enough to save my game here
overriding my last save.
There is no way out. I feed all crakers to parrot, tried to repair the
broken mirror, saw an image. According to it, I smashed one bust,
covered another with cloth, put a book I found under the table
on third, put mirror on fourth, replaced one bust with another and
left one pedestal empty. I discovered I can put old money into one
of the busts.
This is about all I can do. Nothing happens. What do I miss? What
is supposed to happen if I arrange busts according to the image
in the mirror? How to get out of there? I am so desparate I am
willing to use hex editor to get out of there if anybody knows save
game structure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Eugene.

I remember the spot. I also remember I gave up on the game at that
point because I couldn't find a way out.

I don't remember the solution to this, but I did solve it. It was not easy.
I think I had overlooked something in trying to solve the puzzle.

If I remember correctly you have to do something to all of the statues,
this includes swapping two and the other things you mentioned. The
parrot gives clues to the actions required. once you have done all of
the actions putting the mirror shards into the mirror will reactivate
it. If you mix up any action after you put in the mirror pieces they
will reexplode.

I remember this game, great fun even with the bugs <g>.
You can't leave unless you take one of the bust with you when you leave (there
should be one that doesn't seem to go anywhere.) It's called edith or enith or
something like that, I think.
The other 2 tapestries in the main area lead to similar miniquests, save
before trying them, one of them is _really_ time consuming.
