Completely stuck in the FAMILY room... I got that message of the free spirit but nothing else so far. Also I dont know what about the boots and the cards room. And finally I got to the rrom where you have to choose between two ways... just besides the ugardian room but i cannot open any of the doors; i sopouse I need an item (maybe from the family room)
Any hints?

Whenever I finish the dungeon I'll give my impressions. Thx!

Here are some hints:

FAMILY ROOM: The skulls have names. What can they spell?
CARD ROOM: There are 52 cards aind a deck and 26 letters in the Engllish Alphabet
BOOTS ROOM: There is a message on the wall. Do what it says and then pull the lever. But since you reached the Uggardians, maybe you passed this point.
UGGARDIAN ROOM: there are two riddles on the walls, they are a clue where you can go.

Did you find the key for the library vault?
Did you Find teh light of Knowledge?
Did you find they Golden Skull, the Onyx Skull, the Sapphire Skull, the Crystal Skull and the Ruby Skull?
You need them all to complete the dungeon and find all the secrets.

Thank you very much for responding but I have some clarifications to make.
SpoilerShow
In the Family room I spelled the word FAMILY and it said something like "tnak you for freeing my spirit" but nothing else, should I try more? Also I supouse I'm missing an item from than place (becouse I have 4 skull but not a golden one). I will try again with the card room with your hint ^.^
Edit: Oh! I forgot

In the card room I just put one of the skulls in the alcove and I got some loot but did nothing else... Should I supouse there is something else? =S

In the FAMILY you have to get six skulls in the correct locations.... Then you can move to teh next room...
If you solve the CARD ROOM puzzle it tells you to step onthe jade tiles only. that way monsters don't spawn. It also tells you which skull to use

where is the light of knowledge or what is it?. I am stuck in the library

If you are already in the library, and you did not get the vault key or the light, then you are trapped.
You will have to restart from your last autosave.
In the previous room with the Uggardians there were riddles written on the west and east walls.
Their location is a hint to where the key and the light can be found.
Thank you.

Good thing I have a savegame just before entering the library. I got stuck once. I will keep looking.

In the card room I used a skull and I got the prize... and the monster, I noticed they dont have shield so they are easy to farm for 1000 exp! I will keep trying in the family room.

Ok, I manage to continue.

So dumb... I just needed to spell the word in other order xD Now I think I'm almost at the end... I got passed that endless hall and got to that fight with those "chtulhu-like" mages and killed them. There is an altar and an alcove. I also found that space you passed before the fight with a switch inside that closes a wall leaving you inside and nothing else...
I think my brain is saturated by now xD

Did you put the Crystal Skull in the alcove? If so, it opened a secret door to the exit.

I had the last laugh! ^.^
I really liked the dungeon... at least 9/10. My recomendations are
SpoilerShow
Not to use consumables as quest items... I ate the corn and missed the wisdom place =( And I think there should be more food in the jester part of the game... I don't know if I took to much time to finish it but I was starving
A pleassure to play such a quality mod. And even though I'm not an English speaker and my level of English is average I manage to understad every piece of lore and riddles... Just had to read slowly xD

@traska88

Thank you for the tips and feedback. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
I tried to make the game as story driven as possible, but if I update it I'll definitely add a little more food in the jester section

The ear of corn wasn't the consumable needed for the Halls of Wisdom.

You need a Grim Cap and Cheese, both of which can be found on level 5 and 6. :-)
The cheese is in Azdocal's central room and the grim cap is near one of the four staircases on level 6.
