What am I supposed to do after I turn into a duck? I've wandered around all over and can't seem to do anything.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
I believe there is a fountain somewhere in the Temple of the Ancients that will allow you to return to human form.

Yep. But your gonna have to negotiate your way through a lot of badass monsters before you get there.

Thanks I found the fountain... now if I could just stop dying so much everything would be fine.

BTW, the duck sequence is the best dungeon level in dink history.

I'm still a duck. I can't go back to the fountain at the beginning (near the old man) because I can't defeat the fire-bugs. No way to kill them on a screen lock, when I'm a duck. I see one other fountain, that's off, down in the dungeon, after falling through a hole, but I can't get there. Any advice? Thanks.

Crawl under something IIRC.

After I fall down the hole I can crawl under some vines, but that doesn't get me anywhere. If I leave the dungeon, as a duck, I can crawl under a wall and get a defense potion, but then there's always a hardness error, and I have to re-load. Crawl under WHAT? Thanks!

Also, where can I get a light for the areas that say I can't explore without a light? I'd ask about the light sword, but that's just greedy. Thanks for your help.

Under a wall to reach a fountain? It's been a while since I played.

Thanks, Milobones, I can see the wall, maybe, with a duck-sized hole and a fountain behind, but I don't know how to get into the room with the wall. I'd have to go through some vines and I can't cut them because I'm a duck. It's probably something so obvious you don't even remember...

Yes, that's a common theme of this level - you're so near and yet so far. There are various duck-sized holes dotted around the place - the route is by no means obvious or direct. Keep on looking. You'll get there eventually, even if you have to take a roundabout route.

I'm quite annoyed to hear that the roaches still lock you as a duck though. I thought I'd managed to engineer the temple so that you couldn't get stuck on any screen. Still, at least it isn't another major bug... I'll just have to fix it in a later update.

Edit - a hardness error on the L2 duck secret? *Weeps openly*
