This is the first time i am trying this game and i cannot seem to figure out what i should be doing here. It tells me i have no name, is this important and if so how do i get one to be able to proceed further.
Furthermore am i supposed to be getting rid of any of these creatures yet?

Please help.

You won't be getting a name just yet. There are other parts of The City you can visit without a name. Take some time to explore the city. Look around for someone Beethro met in Journey to Rooted Hold... that person will help you get to the next room where you can kill monsters.

I do not understand what I am supposed to be doing. I played the demo and loved it then bought the game but find myself wandering round and round getting nowhere.
I cant get a name, found the room but told no.


What shall I do now? I am temptempted to give up

Marg, please tell us what puzzle levels you have completed. Even though The City looks like a big open place, things must be done in a certain order.

I'm guessing that you have completed:
Quest For Knowledge
The Uncturage
Deep Uncturage

But you haven't yet completed:
Under the Library

If that is correct:

Although you don't have to follow the story that well, the only way to fully enjoy the game the way the creators imagined it is to take in both the puzzles and the story. Trust me, both are amazingly good.

I love DROD but I got frustrated and quit playing not because of the puzzles but because I could not find what to do next. From this hint I gather I still need to do Midway Outpost or Echo Chasms (although I seem to remember doing Holding Vats). In any case I cannot find where to get to these levels. Every level I can access (or find) has been completed but there are two I cannot seem to get to. 1 guy says the "entrance is closed" (quarce N, 2ce E) and I cannot enter the passage there either.

Can someone please tell me where to gain entrance to these levels?

4N2E is the entrance to Processing Station 9, but you can't go there during TCB. It's revisited in a later hold, Finding the First Truth.

I would check the Restore screen to see exactly which levels you have completed. If you really have done Holding Vats, then the next step is to go to The Naming Office.

If you haven't yet done the levels mentioned in CuriousShyRabbit's hint, then proceed to The City 5N3E and through there to Homeward Ascent.
