So yeah.. Stuck

Did anyone have any problems using the Horadric Staff to open the chamber in the desert? Went thru all the tombs, and in the correct one (the one that has the sign in the map) could not get that open. No option to..

Damn almost forgot, im playing in Hell difficulty, which is why i'm thinking there's a problem there

Hmm, I think I've had problems like this before but was able to eventually get it. My problem was some kind of quest glitch where it *thinks* you've completed the quest, but you haven't. Another unlikely scenario is that you have a staff from another difficulty, but with the staff, I don't think that's even possible. Are you playing on single player or bnet? If bnet, you could try to join a game where someone else is trying to finish act 2 and tag along (good luck finding a game though ). Going it alone, maybe trying a new game and going through the tomb again would fix it. Past that, I'm not sure.

I'm under the impression that it won't work anymore if you enter a lower difficulty with it for a time, e.g. for muling. At least that's the order of things which happened when it didn't work for me the last time.

If you drop it in a lower difficulty, you cannot pick it up anymore because you already completed the quest there. That might be an explanation.

I forget, is it possible to get to the canyon without killing the summoner? If so maybe that's a possible reason.

It is possible to do so but it's highly unlikely since you have to pass him before entering the canyon. Maybe it is in fact his problem so i suggest killing the summoner again and see if that works.

If you haven't completed the summer quest, you can't take any town portals to the canyon, but you can take that portal that gets summoned when he is dead, even if you did not get the quest (going from memory) and therefore get the waypoint. You still shouldn't be able to take any TP's though until you finish the summoner quest.

To the OP, as long as the merged staff is not red, you should be able to complete it in a new game. What quests are completed for you in act 2?

You should still be able to take your own TPs just not anyone elses.

I'm curious if there's been any resolution to this.
