when traviling on the ethreal planes there are directions that the maps say you can go but in the game they apear as a dead end sutch as the archway of thorns do you have to do a certain comand to get past these points or are the maps just wrong?

With the archways you have to ENTER ARCHWAY. The other paths, to Queen Maeve's throne and such, are confusing. You have to climb into the trees to get to that path.

The ethereal maps baddly need updating, I'll see if I can do something about it.
