[MOD] Eye of the Dragon

Post by Drakkan »

Welcome tired wanderers, mighty adventurers, or just dedicated Grimrock players !


Eye of the Dragon is dungeon level inspired by Eye of the Beholder 2. It´s quite oldschool, full of creatures, treasures and traps. And hell yes, it is also quite hard !

KNOWN BUGS
- Try avoid placing notes on your minimap, as it is causing many lua scripts to not work at all

- about 40 levels

tips for gameplay:
- Toorum mode not supported
- if you are not REALLY experienced player, choose EASY option !

As many players asked me for some hints, secrets etc. here are some spoilers and walktrough, which you can use in case you will be stucked somewhere:
SpoilerShow
Start - Snow forest
- trees on X20 Y27 could be walked trough (visible on minimap)
- chain opening gate to the courtyard is hidden under tree branch
- you can enter the Dragon Temple by pressing secret button near dragon statue

Mines - Level 1
- there is secret button on X17 Y20 (near corpse with scroll)

Temple Basement
- secret button leading to Ressurection chamber X6 Y6 (near Barrack entrance)
- Golden Orb could be stolen quite easily - just pick it up from any altair side (not front / back). There is no other use for Orb, which is creators "bug", because all treasures should activate purple altairs ;)
- to avoid death by fireballs you will need HOLD four water orbs (each member should hold one)

Temple Underground level 1
- you can fall into fist pit you will enconter to reach Prison, where is dead Sheila. There is secret button on the wall, which will let you out.
- Blue --- Green riddle means you have to place blue gem on altair, which will transform it for green one. You need green gem to get into Three colored chamber later in game for some good stuff
- In room where is note about spiders, you can place torch to open secret area
- In case you release Insal and let him join into your party, he will after some time leave your party and steal some food and items. What you need Insal for is to open special lock in Level 16 (Clerics Baracks). Only Insal Dagger can unlock this lock, so you need to be quick in case you want get some special staff

Temple Underground Level 3
- in the southern area in the main "chamber" with evil cleric is secret button (X17 Y 28)
- you can open door in southern area by pressing iron ring or the wall (X15 Y22). San-Raal bones could be resurrected with Crystal
- to open massive iron door( X12 Y23) you need just burden all four plates around
- cave-in where you find note could be really digged in to reach second water orb

Temple Underground Level 4
- no special meaning for teleporters
- you need press all the buttons (and fight all the creatures) to open door leading to skull locks
- to solve the plate riddle, you need burden plates into shape X
- first button after plates riddle will open corrridor, which is leading to skull locks as well, so you do not need fight the creatures before
- secret button in southern area (X14 Y28) is leading to room with purple alair. When you place Goromorg golden statue on it, you can teleport yourself to clerics barracks, where you can rest
- invisible wall (X10 Y28) visible on minimap
- secret area (X7 Y 24) could be opened by iron ring nearby

Clerics Barracks
- Iam Hungry - you need three Golden coins you will get them later in the game
- Three colored chamber - you need red, green and blue gem. You wil get them trough the game. Green gem could be obtained only by transforming blue one in Temple Underground 1
- Special lock - you need Insals dagger to open this, which could be quite difficult
- X17 Y11 secret button (right main corridor)
- X13 Y18 statue cold be destroyed, there is secret button on the wall leading to Treasure room
Puzzle level
- Rainbow Pain room - best way is to go to right side of the room, till High Clerics are released and then backtrack back to the entrance and just wait till they die.
- Weight your sins and unburden yourself riddle - you need put in each alcove precise amount of item/s ic correct weight. Number of weight is correct answer for each riddle. For numbers its easy. for abc, just transalte it to numbers. a=1, b=2, c=3 etc... as for animals, you can use for example row of incorrect animal.
- if you solve this riddle, there is another secret inside - put both torches on
- secret button behind first spider eggs
- catch three impriosned riddle - you need imprison three skeletons on the floor triggrers
- saphire key. You can shoot button over the pit, then there is secret button on the wall to get back

There is also a rather obscure game called 'I of the Dragon'. I rather liked it, however I know this has no relation.

no relations to anything, just to Eob :)
I´d like to use forest tileset from Skuggasveinn when he complete it (kind of mandatory for EoB forest level) so really no dates for now. My own progress is on let´s say 40% (after one week of 8-hour per day editing :))
I will update this post when I release some kind of beta for volunteer testers.

Re: [WIP] Eye of the Dragon first playable beta - any tester

Post by Drakkan »

Hi all, searching for testers, if somebody interested, please download and try to play. Any feedback welcomed even if you do not want deep-test, but just try to play. About 60% of the game finished for now.
First level where you begin the game is just rough corridor for now, wanna use forest tileset later on.

yes Dark forest level is purely unfinished so far - just connection between mines and temple.

fireball trap - wondering which one, there is lots of them :)
