Guessing it is behind the last door that I still have yet to open on level 3 Ascent that I need to get behind. I cannot find where you go to get behind the northwest of the 4 doors.
SpoilerShow
Your guess is correct. To get there you need to figure out how to get across the 4x4 pit puzzle in the level's center.
SpoilerShow
I have cleared that one (I call that area the southwest door), the door I cannot get behind is the one north of that door (2 right and 2 up on the map).
SpoilerShow
Ah i thought you ment the whole area and not a specific door. Now that's not too hard to reach. Go down the stairs behind the northeast door and back up the closest stairs to the west. Once up you'll see an ornate door with a head requiring gems. Search this area carefully.

Hemophiliac, the Dr. should be able to help you. :) That is the one "secret" you need to find.

Dr.,

Your missing one more secret on level 5. Based on your posts it's either,

Nomad gear-
SpoilerShow
Found VERY early on
Spirit Mirror Pendant-
SpoilerShow
Found in the Northeast corner
or
SpoilerShow
Finding an alternate route to collect the bracelet of Tirin without fighting the undead army reserve.
Orb of Radiance is not in the game as I didn't want a constant light spell. That shooter has no receptacle simply because it has no pit to toggle like the others.

Huh? Strange i got all these. Need to backtrack then.

*minutes later*

oooh .. shame on me!
After re-tracking my maps i miss-counted the number of secrets found on level 5 and 6. There are indeed 6 secrets on 6 (2 NW quadrant, 2 NE quadrant and 2 in the southern half) and not 5 as i mentioned before :oops: I also miss-counted a fall to level 6 as secret which actually isn't one. Obviously i could not remember it properly so i only got 2 secrets on level 6.

EDIT
AH! found it: there are indeed 3 secrets on level 6; dunno how i missed the Battle Axe/Fire Bombs.

Final secret count per level:
3 on 6
6 on 5
4 on 4
2 on 3
3 on 2
Sum: 18

Yes you played the first version, so there have been several little changes. I thought it was too hard to see that button with the poison cloud hitting the wall. Hope she is enjoying :)

Hello.

I need some help. I am stuck on lvl2 (mosaic) and I have 4 ornate keys now. The problem is that I don't know how to proceed. Soaponarope suggested me to
SpoilerShow
"undone something I did before"
but that's too cryptic for me... :D

Any help would be really appreciated.

This mod is awesome but also too difficult at times.

Hi ElPusher

That comment was in reference to the part where
SpoilerShow
you used the key to open the wall so you could "undo" the lever you pulled earlier while still being able to get through.
Seeing how you said you found the icefall hammer on your steam post, you passed that already. Now you need to
SpoilerShow
press the left eye of the stone head as there is a secret button there as hinted by the note.

Trying your mod for the 2nd time now. Still don't know what to think of it, but having a good time... :)

Ok, some questions after roaming a couple of levels:

1. Where do I find the 2nd blue gem for level 3?
2. How do I open the gate with the teleport behind it in the middle of level 4?

Thanks for a reply!
