The only way to get sent back is if you made a mis-step. Sounds like you are doing the first half correctly, so you don't get sent back at that point. But you must do the second half entirely the same, a full complete accurate repetition, starting with the first two steps (so that, coupled with the last two steps of the first half, you make four steps forward there). The final step of the pattern lands you in the small hallway, THEN you can go back and get the key

I did the scroll as wrote, twice, and I don't understand what's the probleme with the final step?
When you took the gold key before the final step you did NOT as the scroll wrote so you got set back to start.

Thank you for your answer but I do it again, without take the Gold Key and same punition: Go back to the start! I really don't understand (easy with the original game).
The sequence is exactly the same as in the original game. Since you do get close to the gold key you are doing fine up to then but the sequence must be completed as written or you will be set back.

It's OK now, I know what's wrong, I did it again with the Gold Key but it's a trap ! I must take the Gold Key only when I finish the corridor.

Thanks for yours answers.

Hi,

I have a question for the level 10 "The Shrine" room:

I don't really understand what I have to do in this room, it's not easy to translate the scroll text.
I tried "to bump Dragon three times" (with my sword or fire bomb) as wrote in "Level 10 secrets" but nothing happend !

Is it the right Dragon ? (North East, drawn with a square on the map ?)
How to open the iron door ? (at the far end of the piece)

Thank you for your help.

Hi, stuck on Level 11 with the Tomb of Designers:
SpoilerShow
I found the three hidden buttons.
Like original LOG, I went fast to push buttons first on the North, and on the East and finish with the South, the door still closed.
I tried many and many times, change order, it's the same.
I missed something?

Thank for your answer.

Nothing special here. Just hit the buttons fast in NW, NE, SW order and then be sure to head towards the west door.

Don't make any extra turns. You should only make two turns, to face the other way for the buttons that face either N or S. All your movement should be stepping, side, back, etc, so you don't waste any time turning to move forward. Also, keep your mouse right where the button is, so it takes no extra time to find the right spot to click. That should give you plenty of time.

Thanks for yours answers but I already do that:
SpoilerShow
"hit the buttons fast in NW, NE, SW order"
My real question is:
It's not a question of rapidity because the door still closed even if I go quickly?! Is it normal? or I missed something?
In somes puzzles, when you go not enough quickly, the door closes itself in front of my nose :) (and you hear it!)

Here, this is not the case, the door still closed and I think I miss something, then here which I do exactly:
Entrance by the East door of The Tomb of Designers
Walk on the central plate, I await few seconds that the poison dissipates itself and I go in front of the NW button
and quicky I push: NW, NE, SW (with only two turns) and and I go straight to West door... but the door still closed?

What's the problem? (or maybe, as soon as I enter I don't have to wait after the central plate (not like the original LOG)
Thanks for your help.

You're going to have to run through all the poison clouds. What's happening to you is that the buttons you pushed are getting reset when a new poison cloud is triggered. So you need to trigger a poison cloud and then quickly do all three buttons before it runs out!
