    Secret NWC Dungeon
    The New World Computing dungeon can be found right at the Shrine of Gods. See the previous questions for information on how to get there.

    How do I use a Stone to Flesh, or Raise Dead scroll?
    Select the character that you want to have cast the spell, and open their inventory screen. Put the mouse cursor over the Stone to Flesh scroll and left click to pick it up. Drag the scroll to the right, so that it is overlaying the characters "paper doll" graphic, then left click to have that character use the scroll. The mouse cursor will be replaced with an aiming crosshairs. Move the crosshairs to the portrait of the stoned character, then left click again to cast the spell on that character. Note: You should use the same procedure to use a Raise Dead scroll on a deceased character.

    I lost a quest item, what now?
    Go to Castle Ironfist and visit the Seer on top of the mountains. You can talk to him as ask him about "I lost it". In case you did loose a quest item, he will give you a new one. This only works if you have not yet completed the quest, and still require the missing item.

    How much Might does it take to get the swords out?
    On one of the power day's specifically the first day of the month you can pull out any sword. Thanks Sweet Flower.

    Gharik's Forge, I can't get through the door at the bottom of the Elevator shaft. Where is the key?
    It is NOT in Gharik's Forge, it is actually in the Silver Helm Outpost. Cast Lloyd's Beacon right there by the door and you can come back as soon as you get it. This had to be the most common question we had. So now you know.

    If you have already been into the dungeon, and the door locked behind you, go and get the patch to version 1.1. It is a bug.

    Lord Newton does not acknowledge that I have the hourglass of time.
    This is directly related to the bug in Gharik's Forge. If you install the patch early on in the game, before you find the key, use they key, and get locked out for leaving, you will never need the key. The patch unlocks the door even if you have not been to the dungeon. Lord Newton however will not believe you finshed the quest if you have the key in your posession, and it will not be used on the door if the patch is in stalled. So if you are at this point reading this it's assumed you have installed the patch, then picked up the key, found the hourglass, and are not getting credit. You just need to get rid of the key. Drop it on the ground somewhere, and try talking to him again.

    Circus Schedule, when and where?
    April in Blackshire (north)
    August in Mire of the Damned (north east)
    December in Bootleg Bay (south east)

    Aging (Magical age, taking too long to complete the game,..)
    Aging seems to be somewhat oddly handled in MM6. If you are in Prison a few years, it does not seem to affect you at all. However, if you are magically aged you will loose Endurance, Hitpoints and some other stats -- that is permanently! Now, to remove the magical aging, you drink from the fountain in Hermits Isle, however, the stats of your character that were decreased wonīt increase again. (BUG?)
    It seems to be save to say that you can take all the time to need to compete the game, without worrying about dying of old game. :) As general rule, try not to get magically aged (by Evil Spirits) and stay out of the prison. Of course also donīt leave MM6 running all day without playing, or you will find your party members dead of starving.
