Hi, I'm brand new to NWN/HG, so apologies if i'm asking a stupid question...
Is there any particular requirement for finding hidden doors?
I'm level 14 and trying to find the levitation ring, and after a few hours of searching forums/wiki, i believe i'm in the correct zone...
I've been running around without much success for at least 2 hours trying to figure out where exactly in the zone it is, but without any luck.
There was a hint on the wiki that it may be a hidden door. So far I've had my pixie familiar handle finding traps and picking locks for me
Just wondering if my current strategy will yield success if i spend long enough at it, or if i'm missing something fundamental?

Welcome to HG! Search and/or Spot may be required, as long as you are in the correct place. You should be able to do it with the ring of awareness though. The place is just out from the wall in the north-west corner of the map. You should be able to just walk around and keep clicking bit by bit until you hit it. It is not a door or a transition point as such (tab doesn't show it). Around the red circle on the map. I've had it trigger while in combat, so not sure if that matters or not.  |

Awesome, thanks for the info! I was in the correct location, but was relying on tab, and not finding anything.
Great tip about the ring of awareness.
I appreciate the help

A lot of stuff will not show in tab, by design - including all map secrets.

Cool, thanks! I didn't know that was possible in NWN. Something else to keep a look out for.

In general, if you want to search for secrets you need the search skill (with very few exceptions that don't matter in the late game). And in low level and a few legendary areas there also level restrictions in place up to which level you can find secrets. A rogue is optimal for that task of course, but other classes like rangers get the search skill as well.

at this spot this some time need many attempt to find it you need to move along the wall in different distance too to find the handle kind of annoying sometime but this is what it is
