1. The green, red, yellow buttons, I see someone else had same problem - what flooded area is a clue?
2. There are gold locks what do not seem to click when trying any key, what do I need?
these are near/in the endless corridor.
3. What does the message mean about 'and when the light shines in the dark, Hope suddenly raises.'
Ignore question 2 I found master key.

my first thought was it might be accessed from the iron temple but the key does not fit there

half part only of xaffi desert explored and have just reached xaffe temple level 3.

Good fun with priests (but then you can always count on them to add that litlle touch of mood in a temple, it's just their trademark ). Serioulsy, it reminds me of the good old days of toorum manor. I wish there were more moments like that.

As for the temple itself, it's a bit tough to get into at the beginning since there are many puzzles, but i think it's well designed. Really good fun overall.

Since all secrets were found (but i won't survive it), anyway, a little error here i guess:

in the 1st level (SE), a fake wall, then a switch on a wall but it doesn't seem to make any change (i checked afterwards so i'm pretty sure).


Actually it adds some kind of forcefield at the top of the ladder, but i don't see what would be its purpose?

1. there's a message on a wall in the north-est part of the temple that will give you the combination (you need the xaffi key to acces there )
2. you have found the key, so it's all good
3. hmm i'd just say don't pay too much attention to the messages scattered around, actually i found that only 2 of them help you to solve .. guess what, 2 riddles (the 3 colorful buttons, and the wheels to deactivate the forcefields before the stairs, abit later).

"A light in the dark" could also mean a million things or items. Like casting darkness, using a torch while it's dark or just putting random glowing items on the ground. Even just the light spell should count as a light in the dark, since you are summoning a glowing ball (invisible to your party) behind you.

Btw, I do find it kinda funny that my highest dps right now is a random staff (greater lightning rod) which deals more damage than all my other party members.

my deepest apologizes
