Ok, so I guess that area isn't a secret and just some place you fall into. I actually solved the acolyte puzzle...then took back my acolyte staff. The teleporter stayed, so i thought the puzzle was "finished" and I could take my items back lol.

in the room with stuff you cannot reach ie figurines behind table/altars, there is a sign at the entrance that says "from weakest to strongest". Opposite the figurines are pressure plates on the floor. Place objects on these plates in the proper order to get the tele that leads to that armory. Use the guide.txt included in the zip - this may help you in times of trouble.

LoL... I just found myself carry a "Round Key" and a door that I "had missed that I had missed" :p

So now I found it and solved it, ty

How do I get the chest on top of the forge?

EDIT: I'm not sure if you said before, but what level will you most likely be at the end of the game? Non-human.

top of this post 6th line down answers your second question.

the acolyte staff puzzle spawns a new teleporter in the room with this puzzle. The tele leads to those 3 chest. The floor in front of them closes when u solve the acolyte staff puzzle.

if you take the tele and end up staring at a wall then turn around and the button to open this wall is on a big pillar thing right behind you(ish).

re the posted pic:
the area beyond there is where you fall into from above if attempting "march of the serpent puzzle".

Several questions here.

Hmmm... I've runned around in circles for a while since it feels I missed somethings, and this is one of them. I don't remember where I got the Acolyte Staff, but I have it. I also seen the three chests beside eachother, but unreachable due to the holes, which the middle one is posslible to take and the other leads to eternal entrapment for what I can see (standing on holes with spears in the floor that never starts) - are you supposed to be able to be stuck in holes like that? I found a couple similar holes and also one where you put the harpoon with water where I see no button or way out? That thing seems really wierd if so.

Beside that, I don't know where to solve the acolyte puzzle, but I assume I locked that possibility running around with the staff? If so, where should I go to solve it (again maybe?)?

I also got a not with a riddle about some place NW of a place to the East where homeage is payed, what depth is that supposed to be found? I don't even recall where I got that paper.

One last thing (so far), is it by purpose there is so few bags and chests, my inventory is hard to manage and I don't like to throw things.

One very last things. I think I did close alot of bad swords and then found statues where in the original game in the first map you could put a sword in the hands of a statue and open something - is there such things here also and I have thrown away the key in an unknown place now then?

EDIT:
Another last question there was a room at 300ft with the text "Incinirators", is there a puzzle to solve and how there?

i will try to answers as best i can

re acolyte staff
re riddle note about buried treasure
there are no instances of needing to place objects in a statues hands in COD.

re: incinerators
re other buried treasure found via the ingame maps
and i think thats everything...

Thx for the answers... I still got some things unanswered and might need more clarity to others.

I haven't searched much fot the answers yet, but it's unclear when I read. I'd prefere if you always said what level in DEPTH the levels are you talk about, since the names you say is harder to remember when you left that level long ago and they ain't visible on the map when you scroll out.

What I did get from your last answers:

The Incinirators - that "minor puzzle" I had done, but it just seemed as I haven't done anything there yet since it was so minor ^^

The Acolyte Staff - when I see it it's clear what that word puzzle was to be, almost ashamed to admit it

The riddle homage chest - I was stuck on "east" thinking "east on map" and not her eyes (I accually digged each square on the whole east side to test)

Questions unanswered:

Q1) Is it planned to be very few chests/bags to carry things in the inventory? I've been full almost all game it seems and hardly never find any more (so far 550ft down as most). All I got for extra space is 1 chest and 3 bags

Q2) Are there supposed to be holes you can fall into with eternal entrapment - or have I missed something obvious?

New Questions:

N1) About the Incinirator room level. To west of that room there is another room with to different secret buttons in the walls, one to the left and one to the right. As far as I've seen nothing have happened when pushing them - have I missed anything or have I missed that I've not have missed it?

N2) What levels of depth is the TOMB-levels? How many buried chests is there to find? I had two maps for the "Forsaken Fen" (450ft) that I found.

N3) To the east of the Forsaken Fen (450ft) there seem to be a Crystal Flower on top of a place I can't access, what have I missed - or is it just a tease?

N4) Also the Forsaken Fen (450ft), to the far southeast there is a place calle "The breeding grounds" where some tentacle monsters fly around on a higher plane and they wont come down to be killed. Isn't it possible to kill them at all, or are there some secret that takes me to their level?

N5) On the 500ft level there are four gold key treasure places where in one of them you can get the Crystal Helm - is it the only place where you can get that? I don't wanna waste a gold key on it if you can get the key later, there were other set items that strangely enough were found in several places (shouldn't there really just be one unique of each set part there?).

N6) At 500ft level there are also at the northeast top corner a corridor of rooms that on each side has a button that opens a hole in the floor, that seems to lead to eternal entrapment or death by spikes (didn't trigger some times when I climbed down) - what's that about?

I am not at my computer nor will i be till next week. I will try to answer as best i can. I have avoided referencing depth in feet ie 550ft since i am only 95% sure but not positive as i am not at my computer.

both bag space and food are somewhat limited in COD. This is intentional and you are the first person to hit the "bag" wall lol.
