almost 100%, script is written to check champions hands, looking for 4 orbs. As it is counter based, it does not have chance to find 4 orbs in two hands :)

I started working on version 5 recently. Altough progress is going fast, I do not expect to be finished within next few weeks. I am planning about 10 new complex floors based just on my ideas, lots of improvements, all original EOB2 party members (like Casandra, Amber etc...), many new custom objects and of course some new third party assets.
Also if somebody is willingly to test when I will reach that stage and provide me with feedback etc... I would welcome it. Looking for people which could check grammar as well.

Drakkan,many thx for this awesome mod.The mod brings me the real old school feeling back.There are more good mods out,but yours came close to the
original gameplay of dungeon crawlers.So i can't wait for more to come.

Keep on your good work!

Well done Drakkan, great mod! I regret to say, that after many hours trying to plough on with load/save between difficult battles, I started anew with my imported party AND easy setting and I enjoyed it immensely :). I have left some doors that I did not figure out how to open and I also..... am not sure if I got to the end! So here are my questions:

1) What is the purpose of the purple altars?
SpoilerShow
After the final (?) battle at the high priest chamber, I put the dragon statue in there, a teleporter appears and I place the priest statue on the next, and the orb on the last purple altar? Only teleports then? Oh also you might want to check the activation of the second or third, it worked without a treasure on top!
2) Was that the final battle?
SpoilerShow
meaning the two high priests? What now? Also, what about my final screen I was promised!? :)
3) Never figured out how to use the
SpoilerShow
forge/renew room
4) The weight puzzle needs a bit of refinement. I got the abcy... by luck and even retroactively it just makes sense ONE way of many I could think of.

Thanks for the great EoB memories man, this was awesome! :) Squeeze a beholder in next time huh?

-edit-edit-edit: Of course it continues! so till I get to the end, please disregard these questions :) duh!

1) purple altair
SpoilerShow
could be used as teleporters when you palce some object on them. Usualy you can teleport back to ressurection chamber etc...
2) hope you will sucesfully reach ending now :)
3) forge is for renewing old / broken items you find during game
SpoilerShow
and also for one uber secret which I will not even spoil :)
4) yep this is truly hard, lots of players gave this up, which is ok for me as it is only optional riddle for treasure(s) but I am always willing to help here

let me know if you finish this mode :)

Hello again! Now I am close to the end I can smell it! :) Thus, my humble apologies for
SpoilerShow
thinking YOU could exclude beholders from this masterpiece! I am currently at this battle, I hope I cut their throats! ... er.. wait... eyestalks then!
But in order to do that, I need something I seem to have misplaced:
SpoilerShow
Valdar's (Galdar's?) green sword! I had found it alright, but between save/load I forgot to pick it up again! Can you tell me where it is?

In case you are already in the Beholders chamber, there is no point of return from here and you are almost at the end :) also you do not need Valders sword or Galdars axe for the ending. btw Sword is located in level26-Moonmark Tower level 3. Wish you good luck for final fight !
