Whoa. It seems difficult because I cannot go back further than the fireballs/pits/gem room.

How about spawning some gems using console? I know it's cheating but...

Anyway, I will try your suggestions this afternoon.

Best regards.

In the area which requires the 4 keys and 4 gems, one of the teleporters near the Altar of Light will take you back to the healing crystal just before the fireballs/pits/gem room,
you can make your way back through the first 3 levels from there :)

Via the console, we can do this
spawn("blue_gem") etc etc

but hey! Maybe by going back and finding the gems you may find other things too?
Can you cast Wisp Shift yet?? ;)

Hello again.

My problem here is that because I used the blue gems that I used before in the pits/gem room, now I cannot go back to level 3. I will keep looking "without cheating" after work.

As for the wisp shift spell, alas, I am not able to cast it. My ranger is specialized mostly on Earth magic while my magician is specialized on Ice and staff defense mostly.

Best regards.

Ok. I spawned some gems using console, because I couldn't go back.

Anyway I have found a very weird thing in level 7...
SpoilerShow
To the right of a teleporter saying (emergency exit 1), where you go back to Yggdrassil; I did that part (the beholders were nice btw), but after returning. I spotted some portcullis door with two ogres patrolling around. There was also a pressure plate right after the second portcullis door (facing east). I got killed by some stupid mistakes and reloaded another savegame. I don't know why but I have been unable to get that portcullis opened again... ???

I know the two ogres drop two keys that are used nearby (I used the console command to teleport the party). But I have a savegame just before using that. No matter how I tried the second portcullis door remain closed all the time. Ideas?. There are also some levers which I pulled (one of them opening some grates for returning to the south part of that grates' maze). There is another one unaccessible by now.

I have been to level 9 (Palace) too but it also states that "only the fallen may pass..."
Best regards.

Hey!
Ok, I am a little confused about which portcullis you can't open...
can you maybe take a screen shot of your map indicating which portcullis?

So I am trapped in Level 8 the engine core. It is the beginning where you put the gem in the alcove and it lets you in the room with 4 stone jellies, 2 crabs and some lighting birds. I got rid of those but now I am trapped. There are4 buttons but they only opened the cages up with the jellies. Any hints would be appreciated.

You must press the buttons in some order. Try some combinations. Pushing them while moving clockwise/anticlockwise and so on.
Glad to see someone else playing this great module.

duke45 - yes you must press 2 diagonal buttons (eg, south west button then north east button) and you must be quick (timed puzzle - "no rush to push buttons")

eLPuSHeR - I see... seems like one of the plates has been activated by an item (possibly dropping from an ogre) before you have entered the room (I understand what is wrong here and will change it to make sure this cant happen)
just teleport yourself inside that room - simple way around the situation
