Dans ce cas...

Don't hesitate to backtrack a little and look at the map to detect shifting or illusionary walls (without the automap, this maze is a true nightmare). The objective is to pass several times through the room with 3 pressure plates (each plate in truth leads to a new path of the maze when the former path is completed).

[Numberouane]

Thanks

Ok I found how to go ahead ... The level is impossible without automap

thanks to Python

Great Mod and am really enjoying it. I am stuck on what should be a simple puzzle. L6 - room with three buttons that shoot fireball, ice dart and poison dart into a receptor. I did not find a clue in a note anywhere on L6 and could have missed one. I see the colors change but can't see that it matters. I've tried various combos including firing a lightning bolt at various points. Can anyone help?

Just take in the colourful surroundings, notice anything that changes when you push the buttons? Just let the light guide you...

I just played this for a few hours this morning, can't spend any more time on it now, here are my notes:

SpoilerShow

- intro "first time playing Grimrock?" text needs to go
- nice exploration on lv1
- bad flickering on floor: cave-in dirt with floor dirt, in room with key far N
- bad flickering on floor: pit to lv 2 in far NW, two floor dirts
(if I didn't have a torch I'd be stuck in this room, maybe have one on the floor just in case - wait, I found it!)
- flickering in W pit (under green glowing grate) just after dropping in, cave-in dirt with floor dirt
- flickering in W pit (under green glowing grate) SE corner on bottom of wall-dirt
- "Hide me in shadows" - took torch
- found control room again, nice bonus, but that was far away
- found hall of monster cells, will come back later
- found crystal in cage, cool
- typo "The one who hurries, dies first." should be "The one who hurries dies first" (period is optional, I think it's better without)
I'll come back to this door later
- nice vines in open space in herb room E, done right, looks good!
(some floor dirt flickering there though)
- typo - healing potion formula "ingredient" should be "ingredients" (and might as well leave off "need an empty flask", unless there is some time you don't)
- colored rooms sometimes a bit too colored I think, maybe toned down would be more subtle
- did cells fight, went well, nice rewards
- looked at alchemy a little, interesting, curious about the diff "extracts"
- found key in "don't hurry" room, decided to use on "experiment" door instead of nearby door
- YIKES, spider!
- YIKES, gas cloud!
- note is odd, should "pass items" be "past items?" have to find the secret chamber to find out
- typo "snails...eats alot" should be "snails...eats a lot"
- in room SE of crystal, S of 3-lever pillar room, with 4 plates, can see corner of stairwell through wall
- "3 button, 3 monsters" probably read better as "Three buttons, Three monsters" on two separate lines (and no period)
- killed three birds, got gem
- lightning area well done, satisfying to dodge them
- found "elixer of healing", hmm (but still no way to open that pit...)
- stole back one of the blue gems and ran quick, now I'll never get back in I guess!
(I tested - it's possible to do this and run into the treasury, forever stuck. Perhaps just shut grating, not treasury door)
- found "see me, feed me", gave rock, poison cloud! "tastes awful", haha, I love it!
- in corpse processing, green glow gas continues after destroying barrels, I think it should stop
- necromancy book, very nice!
- hall with traps very difficult
- didn't find any way to "light up poison path hall"
- found mandrake extract, cool!
- getting tired of colored lights
- found poison hall, lit it up, took a lot of damage, extremely tough fight, endless skeles??? don't like endless
- finally made it out, found nice necromancer reward, cool, but poison hall was far away from wall riddle
- explore back around hall, no more traps except one door closed behind me, I think it shouldn't
- found lurker boots, nice
- have found four skulls so far, just on level 1 (and bits of 2), seems a bit much
- typo: "Nesturs's scroll" should be "Nesturs' scroll", no extra "s" needed
- Ahh, I have to give up the attack-power-bonus skulls! Drat! (but cool, i approve!)
- another crystal in a grate?
pushed both buttons on this side, will have to wait till I get to other side
- should remove periods from "Mausoleum" "Grave robbers will be punished" and perhaps use large text item because it's multi-line
- "Without a proper sacrifice you'll find only Death." probably should be on two lines if using the large text item, and no period would be better
- "Walk path of the Damned to open a Death door." same as above, also should add word "the" to be "Walk the path of..."
- placed all items, got nice elixers, cool!
- can't figure out what to put on altar, tentacles kill me badly
- "burial chambers" - placed rock through grate, what next? nothing happens (other than light)
maybe this opened the three doors S, I already put the items there, can't test
---------------------------------------------------------
have to stop playing, need to work on other things
- never found way to open crystal gratings on level 1, I missed something?
- curious about the alchemy stuff, looks promising

Complete level 6 @

SpoilerShow

The goromorgs fight..... is by far the most unfair & difficult fight of the game so far... with such a no
reward ... it is really a waste for the player I think as I had to redo it 21 times before having all my guys safe...
Worst part so far

I notice you have a lot of flickering, could it be resolution related? Maybe it becomes worse in certain resolutions or with certain video drivers, because I had almost none? Anyhow, this is one mod I really recommend finishing.
