Can Snergle's Caverns Fully Be Replayed?

Unread postby EstelRandir » 09 Jan 2025, 02:57

On multiple playthroughs, it seems that you cannot open the final door to Snergle's chamber with the key from Snergle's mines. It simply will not work. I have destroyed previous keys (dumping in water), allowed all zones to properly reset, gone to the mines, got the key, went to the caverns, and the door will not open again with the key. I am guessing this is a one time thing (a flag in the savegame)?

Is there some way to force Snergle's door open in the caverns without using a hex editor?

Yes, the door is deliberately locked after completing the Snergle's Axe quest. But you could just never return the axe, or place a beacon beyond the door.

I am screwed then, lol. I of course returned the axe on the first playthrough.

Without using a hex editor, enabling debug mode is the easiest and most reliable way to reopen Snergle's chamber in the caverns. If you're opposed to using cheats or mods, the door is likely a one-time interaction due to the flag system in MM6, and full replayability without external tools may not be possible.

Why do you want to revisit the final room in Snergle's Caverns? It's been a while since I've played MM6. What's there?

Because I am playing merge mod endlessly and want to replay the dungeon.

I am not opposed to using the debug function. I have beat the merge mod and am replaying the zones over and over for fun. What code do I have to enter to reopen the chamber? And is there a list of these codes somewhere for resetting various flags such as this?
