Touched what needed to be touched in the graveyard... went to where the thing needs to be placed... it didn't change into a hand icon... but was able to eventually place it anyway... walked around to where the dungeon is supposed to be and... NO entrance! Gee, it was there last time I played through...
Game is patched, any ideas on this?

Well, patched or unpatched, the dungeon should be there. If the dagger is sticking in the corner, then the fairy ring should have appeared out back behind the graveyard.

Remember that's all the way outside, in back of the main wall, and it's a longish walk.

I know the spot where its supposed to be and the rings not there. Maybe my going around the graveyard hitting the runes previously and not inserting the dagger the first time caused the problem.

I have heard of ppl who have only completed some of the steps, then left the area and came back later, and where no able to activate the "portal".

If that's the case then there's little you can do but either miss out or go back to a previous save game.

:(

Good thing its not critical to the game. Miss out on some xp but there is plenty more out there. Thanks Nightowl2 & Wolfie.
