What to do there? Hints for KDD 1.0 mention some old man, but it's not there.

The man referred to in the other thread is the Neather. He's the guy standing in that very top passage.

Most of the rooms on this level have this sort of theme; he'll be opening/closing doors to let monsters at you but keep you trapped, and you have to find a way to rush through one of the open doors before he can close it on you.

The problem is that he's not there.
He wasn't there in the room before.
He only appeared in the very first room then was never seen again.

Now I'm confused. I don't see how the Neather could just disappear.

The only thing I can think of is that you played through the level, went from 1S back to the Entrance and started another round. You should go to 1S1W instead.

This seems to create some weird things. I just tried it, and the Neather reappeared in several cleared rooms (His speech didn't naturally make any sense at this point...), but wasn't there in some others. Seems a bit like faulty scripting to me.

Strange. I've restored the game from level start. But again - the old man disappears after the first room (entrance).

This seems like some sort of bug - that certainly shouldn't happen. You should make a post in the bug forum about it.
