You're a lifesaver, Cassie. I play story mode specifically to avoid this kind of boring, mindless puzzle. I was surprised to see that in story mode there was no way to avoid it, or at least a few clues provided on how to get through it. The tedium of trudging back and forth, over and over, fighting and fighting and fighting while backtracking and backtracking and backtracking has me ripping my hair out. Like the energizer bunny, you keep going and going until you run out of mana, lifepoints, and finally potions - - and you still aren't any further in the game. IMO, including this in a game is just an exercise in frustration. I've been in this same area for over 7 hours now and it long ago ceased to be an enjoyable game.
I will follow your map and see if I can get out of this area while I still have hair. Thanks again.
