I've reached Etheria, done all tasks (I think) but after hours of searching I cannot find a way to "light the chrystal shaft". When I return to the desert, the temple room is empty, the rat won't answer his door and the Jackalope breaks into tears when he sees me. He is apparently smarter than I am because his grief seems to be saying "you are stuck here and will never finish the game". I wander around the desert hoping to find the Wanderer but all I do is die of thirst out there. I go back to the Fates and they have nothing more to tell me. I chip away at the ice block trying to free Mab but can never make a dent. I'm flying around on my tapestry...a lost soul who is ready to sob along with the Jackalope.

I've saved my game frequently but there is no way to slide the progress bar back to an earlier part of the game.

There is a message on this forum, written by someone who said "There are no dead ends in KQVII. Really! Maybe there is, after all.

If anyone out there knows how I can get out of this mess, other than stating again from the beginning, I'd appreciate it very much! Start over on Chapter One? I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

Did you get the crystal from Malicias home? if so take it to the temple and use the Crystal on the shaft of light in the temple.


I think this should be the answer your looking for.
