Another hint: do NOT place map markers on things you want to operate i.e. the Shrine of Life.
Yes, so this is really the exit?, I thought it's a decoration, as they was so many "blocked" stairs :D

Why not? it cause crashes?

You cannot operate items in the dungeon with a map marker on the same location. Known LoG Bug.
I.e. someone here in the thread was unable to get revived the skeleton with the key in cells level
due to a map marker on that skeleton's place.

Yeah that was me very early on. I like using lot of map marker notes, so it was bound to strike sooner or later.

No idea where you are trying this but each time a combination is entered correctly a "done" sound plays.
So when you heard that 4 times you should see a result.

And nope, it's not related to the tomb.

Oh sorry, its level 4 the (hidden) room with 3 levers and 1 button.
It was already explained that the number code above translates into lever position when used in binary code.
I dont hear anything when pressing the button.

Btw, I also did not see a hud message when leaving the toilet with the sparkling "thing". Only when I flush the loo.
(solved anyway ;-)
Maybe I play a different version than you had?

Oww! thanks for the tips!
I actually found bones of a dead mage, and thought about use shrine of life to use it, but it didnt works, because the map markers was on it! :roll: Works now :D

regarding the teleportation:
SpoilerShow
"take" any rune and left-click with it upon any shrine - you will be teleported to the shrine corresponding to your rune
By the way, I finally found a way to obtain the key for the door with text "be the portal never opened" Wov, I forgot your helps and I didnt thought that you can teleport while using a different rune on a different shrine lol.

FYI completed the game - great ending!
REVIEW: Love the feel of the game, applaud the characters and excellent storytelling, though there is a lot of wandering around empty tunnels but finding the shortcuts helps a lot. Slow start and some show-stopping puzzles really interrupt the flow and can be off-putting for the more casual gamer - but that aside, great later levels really worked well for me. Now I'm playing the CSB remake and realised that actually the narrative for this game is very strong and drives things forward nicely: it is not all just puzzles like CSB which maybe I should never have gone back to ;)
Chaos Strikes Back is nothing but puzzles. The Sunset Gate has far more characters and narrative with more short-term puzzles. I think the latter is more enjoyable as the former has such random puzzles as to be frustrating for no good reason (and I do love CSB don't get me wrong). the Sunset Gate did have me checking solutions on the net and walking around a bit too much but would strongly recommend this game as a great example of what the Grimrock engine is capable of.

Hi Xanathar,

Started to play your mod today, I had a few months break from Grimrock and it was a nice surprise to see that you had released you own dungeon. Of course I had great expectations because I know you are a awesome scripter and modder and I was not disappointed, really great job. Did you use grimwidgets in this? Any change that you release the sources some day?
