I saved the kid in the mine, and the fairy warped me to the hall with all the bosses in it, but after killing the first boss- I've tried several times-behind the sign that says "Triple Sisters-Level 1- Safe- Ending-->No" the screen doesn't unlock. If I unlock the screen myself, I still can't get out of the hall. Any suggestions?

Though I haven't played it through myself, I seem to recall being told that the d-mod in question's end is horribly bugged.

Not a suggestion, I know, but still...

Final Hall is the end section. Depending on what story level you are at, you will only be able to access certain boss rooms. In order to reach different boss rooms, you will have to either restart the game or load an earlier save, and take a different route through the game.

thanks for trying, but I know the dmod is buggy, and I'm at level one and am supposed to be able to kill the level one boss.

I tried killing the level 5 boss (or level 4? I forget) just to see what SHOULD happen, and after he died a warp point showed up, but when I walked over to it I got a "bad ending" sequence- as in, I did the wrong thing so Dink failed the quest. So I'm assuming a warp point should show up after I kill the level 1 boss. But it doesn't. Did anyone actually play the game to this point?!

Yep. And I defeated the boss 1. But nothing happened and the screen stayed locked...

As the sign says on the entrance to Boss 1, "ending: no". Nothing happens once you beat that boss. You just, er, beat the boss. The boss is the ending, sort of. It's disappointing, I know, but I think it was designed that way.

As far as I know, the other boss that you killed is the only non-final boss to actually provide an ending - some of them lock the screen, some of them unlock it, and some of them crash the game. I'm pretty sure only the one bad ending was designed, sadly. The only way to get a different cut-scene ending to the "bad" one that you found is to find the route through the game that allows you to take on boss 8. That gives you the proper ending, but it's only accessible on one particular route.

Of course, if you don't mind remixing the game a little there's always the "rewrite", available under miscellaneous downloads. I haven't tried it myself, but I think it basically helps keep you from reaching boss hall without being level 8.
