Stuck in act II

[winter178]

I made it to hell and am in Act II. I got the staff and amulet and combined them. then I made it to the 7 temples, got to the place where you meet Duriel and found that it would not let me open it. Something that I did not complete Quest 2. I must admit, that I did not go to the place where you get the Cube because, I of course have it already.

So, what do I do here? Any ideas? thanks...

You got that light show and the lightning strike to open up the way to Durry?
If so then back up click on the opening again, try from different angles. Wait a few minutes try again. Sometimes it just won't open. It could be lag.

No, It would not let me put in the staff. Quest #2 is still active. The one that says, get the cube, staff and amulet. I now went back did the Tomb. Of course, there was no cube since I have it already.

When I go to put the staff in, it says impossible.

I don't think I"ve ever done quest #2 in hell. or nightmare for that matter.
What does Quest #6 say?
What colour is the name of the staff? I had one go red on me for some reason. If so, put it on a mule and get the staff and ammy again. And to be safe don't go to any normal or NM games after getting the new stuff. You might even want to put the cube on a mule and get all three items again.
I believe if the game thinks you have a NM staff you can't use it in hell.

Did you try making a new game? Act II is so freakin' screwy with all its anti-rush features... the stupid thing never works for me. As a last resort, I'd say just have someone else open the tomb with their own staff.

You don't forget to talk to what's his name after getting the ammy, do you?
You don't even have to be in the game when durry bites the big one and drops his TP scroll. if you rejoin the game it will say you cannot complete the quest but if you go into the cave and no has talked to Tyreal yet then talking to him will complete the quest the game said you couldn't complete.

edit: didn't mean to sound like Jacob Two Two, not sure how it happened

I probably did not talk to him after he I got the ammy. So what do I do now? I have run the temple 3 times now. Should I go and get the ammy again do you think?

Oh by the way, Quest 2 is get the cube, staff and ammy.
Quest 6 is where it shows you the symbol for the temple.

One more thing. I have been soloing. So, I have not seen Duriel in Hell yet.
Thanks for the help.

but after you enter the temple the message changes.
You may have to throw away the staff you cubed and make a new game. I had to do that once. Then you will have to get the staff and ammy again.
I'm still not sure why the name of it went from gold to red, but in any case it wouldn't work.

Thanks very much. I am doing that now. I am sure that it will work.

The moral of the story, always go to the characters with the glow over their head to clear out the quests.

Thanks again.

I grabbed an extra viper amulet during NM and then it woudln't let me do any of the other final quests because I joined after that quest had been completed and grabbed someone else's ammy. That screwed up the whole thing until I just ran the summoner alone.

Besides that, the hole for Duriel almost always lags for me and I haveta run away and come back to it a few times before it will let me in. Tip: dont stand next to it when it opens and click right away because it seems to glitch then.

That feature is to preload the chamber so that you don't get killed immediately when you go in.
