It was what I needed to do; apparently, the game wouldn't let me do it
because of a technical problem (as I described in my last post).

Agreed. The technical problems are all the more frustrating because
they mar what was otherwise a really good game (IMHO). I love the
series and especially its characters, but the satisfaction I got from
avenging Katrina's death (by killing Ad Avis) was blunted by the
game's refusal to let me complete it. In effect, the problem I
encountered cut off the story right at its climax. How annoying.

Actually, when I click the hand icon on the crystal, the game says
that it's just out of reach, and I can't move anywhere (the walk icon
is disabled).
