To find the hardest secret in the spot you'll have to have even more patience.

"avoid my gaze" puzzle especially how you were able to run it twice to blast the ogre!

Sheola talks to the statue & it shoots you over the pit.

Puzzle design was very good. The "dragon's breath" concept was used well for some interesting puzzles. Story was great as well. There were some typos, but you know that already.

I spent forever on the first puzzle where you had to put out the flames with pressure plates. I chose the path with the shield, successfully completed the puzzle, then wasn't able to cross the flame pit that I had put out. It took me a long time to figure out that I should have taken the other path. Taking that into account, the first puzzle was probably the hardest in the entire game.

Combat was rarely a challenge. Besides the boss, the hardest part was the room where you had to fight two wardens simultaneously. Although it was easier when I coaxed one into the little side room and took care of it without having to worry about the other one.

Any time there was more than one of those smoky blue flames, my frame rate dropped like a stone. This was especially bad in the room with two wardens and the pits. My computer ran the main game no problem, but I've noticed that when modders go crazy with the effects, they don't realize that some people's computers are not up to the task.

It seemed like there were too many potions. Even after the final fight with Malbona, I still had a good quantity left. There might have been too much food as well, since I had maybe 12 pieces left at the end.

- Even, if I hit "import", I get a new character. I did not try it, but would "Toorum" be a valid play-option on this dungeon?

- Sheola is dead when I find here; but she keeps talking. You know, I HATE women talking too much ...
- When I find the Blue Crystal in the library, Sheola won't be resurrected.
- If I drag Sheola into the first line, with my next move she gets pushed back into the second line again.
- Because she is and remains dead, this means three things: a) all skillbooks for the main character, b) no unnecessary food consumtion, c) a perfect mule for carrying stuff without slowing the party daown.
- The monsters in the library are very, very limited in their movement, which makes it pretty easy to beat them down.
=> Are those things probably the result of the latest game-patch by AH?

- Question about the hall with the trapdoors after "I" have proven myself and have become a "prophet" - is it true that there is no way to get out of there and becoming the perfect minin for Malbona?
