This game just reminds me of another I played like it in real time years ago. It also reminds me of Might and Magic 2 which I never did come close to finish.

If it's what I think you are talking about, if you found one, you are close to the other. Do the same thing you did to get the first one. (Block in a wall).

Not sure if it was the same. For the second one I had to "sacrifice" something. Figured it out. Now I'm battling spiders out the wazoo.

Dev's are already working on a Patch to fix some pretty minor issues (maybe add Quicksave).
I haven't seen any yet, but there's so many different configs/progress levels it hard to tell.

Here's a thread for 1.1.4 Patch progress:

http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=754


Patch addressed items:

Done:
- vsync is enabled by default
- borderless windows are no longer topmost
- pressing ESC closes character sheet
- fixed unlimited frost arrow exploit
- bug fix: topmost menu item don't work reliably in 2560x1440 resolution
- bug fix: wall text translations are not dismissed when right-clicking
- bug fix: inanimate objects can be backstabbed
- bug fix: items can be thrown through doors in some very rare cases

Work in progress:
- native res is not detected correctly on some systems

Early on give her a spear, or rocks/daggers etc. I make her hold the candle.

You can use the Rogue to throw things during battle.

I've seen mention of Chest's, but I'm not sure if that was literal or not.

There may be some deeper, I just don't know yet.

Only the front chars can use melee weapons, unless the char gets a skill or reach weapon.

From the back the rogue can specialize in ranged combat and attack from there.

There's also a rogue skill that allows the rogue to attack from the rear you probably want to get. Check the descriptions (I forget if it's assassination or daggers).

Fun, simple addicting this game is.makes me realllly miss more modern spin offs of this genre like wizardy series.

Anyway, I am embarassed how long I was stuck on level 1 with the " hint runes ". I thought I was pressing a loose rock. But no....it is just a tool tip hint telling me to look for a loose rock.

ROFL

If you want a hint see my previous post. If you want the answer:

Click on the blue stones each level.

They can only be used once.

I'm not sure if they recharge, I'm guessing not.

They can recharge. Takes about 2 minutes or so.

Can anyone tell me something about the end of level 4?

I got to the stairs leading down to level 5 but I keep getting attacked by these little green guys that sometimes pair up. I keep killing them but they keep on coming? is this some infinite spawn thing? i hate infinite spawns....

not an infinite spawn, just a lot of them
Additional spoiler,
if you go back into the room where they came from and search around, there is a lever that opens up a side passage just before the doors.

Jeez guys, I was wondering if I was going to get through level 1 and here you all are talking about level 4 -6 :oops:

I really gimped my Mage when I set the game up so he couldn't cast anything - so he was basically just the Torch bearer . . . .

Level two has a few tricky areas I'm still working on (Your Grave), and definitely some surprises for so early in the game.


It's looking like I was wrong about the play time on this one, it's going to have a lot more life than I was thinking, and that's not counting Mods.

:thumbsup:

Heh, yeah but how many hours did you play? I must have put like 12 hours already! :$ I stayed home sick yesterday because I woke with a bad headache but once it went away it was Legend of Grimrock time!

I find my mage to be quite integral to the party. I still only use the most basic spell- the first spell you get in the game- Flameburst. I havent learned any better spells yet even thought my skill does allow for higher level ones. But flameburst is powerful enough especially when you are using it against groups of monsters, because it does damage to every creature occupying the same tile!

The first ice spell is pretty effective too (and multiple monsters).

Still on Level 4..so many damn spiders! I wonder how many floors this game is.

I'm only on level 2 - didn't have long to play, but I'm pretty disappointed in the need for workarounds to right click for attacking.

I'd love to be able to play this mouseless - I know the old school attack style is supposed to be just that - old school, but man, I'm too old for that :p
