	I tried to mail this, but it bounced: One of the special weapons that
you pick up (not the Medusa Head - I don't even know what that does) can kill
the stone golem... There's a _real_ obscure clue: The description of the area
that you pick the weapon up in mentions that there's a shattered stone golem
sitting there.

	Just a bit more info on this: It's not a program bug, it's a small
problem with the data file. If you reset the game, the third key will be there.
(Btw, I was the one who found the problem - it really irked me, particularly
after the bit with the golem!) So, if you're already into it fairly far (and I
assume you are if you've gotten to the golem), you should probably get the
patch. However, if you're willing to nuke all of your characters, you don't
need to patch (what a choice, eh?).

 I'm going away! I'm not sure how much longer I'll have access, so if you need
to contact me, do it now. Hopefully, I'll get another InterNet account...
