Part 3:

And small hints and suggestions are welcome, especially if it looks like I'll probably never get it on my own or if I'm missing something important and timely (where I might find out later, only to wish I knew much sooner), just no spoilers (of course).

You did great so far

Nice to see you finally noticed that the ethereal blade only damages elementals
The only tips I can think of at the moment are:
- Please save more often and don't kill monsters when your caster is dead! This way he won't lag behind the others and never learn the good spells

.
- Looks like you did not choose the best weapons for your characters, maybe take a few minutes off the stream to have a look at your inventory; if I'm correct, the long sword should be the best weapon for Shadow now, and the Vorpal blade for Mulrag...
- I don't know if other authors would agree, but I'd say with the spell pack added magic is more important in this mod than in others. So maybe consider learning some magic with your alchemist that your wizard won't be able to learn? (wizard: concentration, fire, water; and alchemist: alchemy, air, earth? Or something like that...)

I believe THOM told you to open the progression board because you got very very close to finishing Eleven Warrior's room, but didn't.
also, I told him that fireball trap was too much for an early room!
You haven't finished a room until you've gotten the meteorite ore from it. Maybe there should have been a message for that like in ORRR2... because this mod totally doesn't steal enough from ORRR2 already...
Watching this is really interesting because it shows how much existing knowledge of Grimrock 2's mechanics that we took for granted. Especially about ladders!
If you strafe or move backwards instead of moving straight forwards, you can move right through the free-standing ladders in One Room Around Robin Hood; no need to take fall damage there.
You aren't carrying your herbs in your alchemist's inventory, which means you're missing out on the only useful feature of the alchemist class. I really do think you should take a look at your champions' Traits tabs!
The effect of the dead spiders is something you could not possibly figure out on your own but I don't know if you'd consider it a spoiler or not.
Since you already finished AdrTru's room, I'd like to tell you some cool things about it:
The blank scroll found in the room can be placed in the frame with the indentations, and then you can scorch it with a torch to make the notes much more visible. This also gives you some XP.
And try putting the model of the ceremonial arrow in a champion's hands!
Thanks for making these!

Thanks for the clues and hints!
I'd welcome a spoiler for Eleven Warrior's room (cemetery) since I spent a lot of time there and don't want to bore everyone to tears retracing all my steps again to find the ore I somehow missed. Do I have to take everything from the chest and be greedy?
Now that you mention the herbs, I do seem to recall something about alchemist growing more herbs, oops!
I was wondering about that thin sheet of paper usage, nice to know.
And I'll double check my weapons for effectiveness.

I'm sure you don't bore anyone.

Seems so...

Hahaha!

Hilarious
Now pick out a house and dump all the useless stuff from completed rooms you've been hoarding like crazy.
Otherwise I'm afraid part 5 will be called: The Hoarding of Grimrock 2
ORRR3: Overburdened Room Round Robin 3

So you changed your mind about watching the videos?

They're enjoyable
I fast forward some stuff and during part 4 I was simply wearing my wireless headphones just listening to Komag's deductions like a podcast while cooking and cleaning the kitchen as I'm too impatient watching his meticulous and thorough playstyle which is the opposite of mine where I just rush through as fast as I can
I do that a lot lately, "watch" stuff by simply listening by audio only.
