Hey guys.

I've been trying to put together something...bit mysterious I know, but I'd rather have it done before unleashing it upon you all.

I'm stumped with Minas Morgal. I can't work out how to get into the place. I've killed the orc roaming the streets and polished off Rian house, but I can't find any more keys that get me into the other houses or the main tower. Am I missing a secret place?

If anyone could work me up a quick walkthrough it would be appreciated!

Cheers

Right...must've missed Virsh then cause I only found Muzgash. I'll go hunting again.

Got it sorted in the end.

I've always thought the cellar part of the temple of web was a bit mean. if you didn't know where it was you'd never be able to get into the main tower.

Ah well!
