This post contains spoilers.

I talked to the guy in the tavern and he warps me to a new place, I've:

- Completed the top floor of all 4 towers
- Completed the bottom floor of all 4 towers
- Obtained all of the items mentioned in the scrolls

I still can't enter the main castle though! What am I missing?

    You gotta place the 4 scrolls into the 4 sarcophagus in the crypt. Each tomb and scroll is assigned to a specific knight hero. You can tell whose tomb it is with the preset magic item in each.

    Well that's annoying lol, as I've already looted the items!

    Edit: Ah, it will tell you if you've put one in the correct location so it isn't quite as bad as I feared it would be. I can just dump them all in to one of the coffin's and the game will remove one each time, so there is no real puzzle to solve.

    Thats the cheesey way of doing it, yes.. But solving puzzles like that is what makes dungeons like Durlag's Tower and others so much fun, to me anyways.

    Of course, but this "puzzle" allows you to remove the clues that indicate where each scroll goes to, turning it in to a complete guessing game. It'd be a better design if the gear couldn't be removed until the puzzle was solved.
