The minipuzzle on the 3 tile island isn't timed or anything. You just have to raise a single platform which stays up permanently. All you need is on that "island". :)

I seem to have a different problem here. After pressing the 3rd button I run into a dead end. Are you saying that it is actually possible to run back if you are fast enough?

On a separate note I found the fighter's challenge but it leads to a closed door one level down?

While I am asking unrelated questions, any takers on that "Walkabout" section where certain three tiles click when you step on them, but then they stop clicking with nothing else happening :?:

I suspect this is making a lot of these timing puzzles more difficult for people. Unless you notice that little snail icon on your character, or know what it implies, you could be wandering around at half speed and not realise it. I've already seen examples of this.

The main problem with the pit / switch puzzle on level 6 is discovering how it works. Once you know what to do, executing it is pretty easy. At least, I managed it first time, although I fell down a lot of pits figuring it out.

I posted the tool in my blog here: http://kesimunka.blogspot.de/2012/04/le ... apped.html
This tool doesn't work for me.

It activates the first button, turns left, steps forward, steps right twice.
Then it is supposed to step forward 3 times to activate the second button then step left twice.
It actually only steps forward twice, so when it steps left twice I fall down a pit.

I've tried it now on 2 different computers with the same results.

Removed the torch by the alcove between 2nd and 3rd buttons, it raises the platform behind you so you can step back away from the 3rd button, hope that helps.

That is odd. Did you lower every graphic options to the lowest setting?
