Grimrock

4 Square Dance - only for fighting a single enemy.
This is a very simple tactic for fighting any melee creature.
When a creature is coming to attack you fall back to a place that has 4 squares in a square pattern.
The idea is he should be diagonally opersite you, he faces the way hes going to move, you attack when he moves there, then sidestep him, repeat. You wont get hit and it helps a lot with spiders.

Coming Soon...

1 - Saving your Game.
I generally Save at the start of each Level first then do multiple saves thru the level followed by a Save at the End.

2 - Torches.
Torches are very helpful, not just for light but also for some puzzles and placeing on preassure plates.

3 - Collect everything even if you dont use it. I collect everything and if Im not using it I will leave it at the Stairs to the next level.

4 - Food.
Some food is also used for making Potions so be careful what you eat. (See Potions)

1 - Now that you are in the Dungeon, go to the back wall and look for the loose stone, press it to find the Secret chamber in the starting room. It contains Lurker Boots and a Surikan

2 - Go to the iron gate, look to your left and take the Torch, this will open the gate. I also reccomend putting the Torch in a characters offhand, so it lights up the area your in.

3 - Walk forward to the next gate, click the end of the chain to open the iron gate.

4 - On your way to the next gate make sure you pick up the Peasant's Tunic and Breeches, and the Cudgel.

5 - Pull the lever next to the iron gate to open it.

6 - When you come to the hallway with the pressure plate in it, pick up the Rock, dont place the rock on the plate, use one of the Torches instead. Placing an item on the Pressure Plate opens the next gate.

7 - After the Gate turn right and retrieve the Brass Key.

8 - Head forward to the square room with a pillar in the middle. Grab the Rock and Torch north of the Pillar. Now head to the Wooden Gate and use the Brass Key to open it.

9 - After the Wooden Gate turn left and press the loose stone to open a hidden room, retrieve the Iron Key.

10 - Head to the next Iron Gate and use the Iron Key in the Keyhole on the wall next to it, to open the gate.

11 - After the gate, turn left twice and kill the snail, then collect the Knife, Leather boots & Pants.

12 - Pull the Lever on the wall just before the next Iron Gate to open it.

13 - Head straight up and collect the Throwing Knife.

14 - In the next hallway are 2 Snails, kill them then turn right. Go past the iron gate, you will come back to do it in a minute. Grab the Pitroot Bread and the Rock. Head back to the Iron Gate and pull the chain to open it.

15 - There is a Pressure plate on the other side of the trap door. Throw a Rock or Torch onto the Pressure plate to close the trap door. Walk over it and collect the Iron Key.

16 - Now pick up the item you threw onto the Preassure plate. It doesnt matter that the trap door opens and you will fall thru it. The damage from falls is low anyways. To get back up step into the Teleport light. I just do it this way to keep an extra item, and doing so will also add 3 squares to the map of level 2.

17 - Head back to the passage where you killed the snails and head left from the wooden door. Pick up the Backed Maggot, Sandals, Loincloth and Rock, then head back to the wooden door. Use the Iron Key on the Keyhole next to it, to open the door.

18 - You will see a Face on the wall in the distance. You need to collect 2 Gems for the eye sockets to open the door next to it.

19 - Head to the left, Pull the lever on the wall just before the Trap door to close it. You will have to kill 2 snails on the other side of the trapdoor. Head left to get more loot, a Rock, Scroll of Fireburst, Loincloth and Tattared Cloak.

20 - Now head back and go left, stand on the next preassure plate to open the iron gate, kill 2 more snails, collect the first Blue Gem. Now to get back out you need to place an item on the pressure plate, then go back to the square you found the Gem on and press the loose stone, once your back on the other side of the gate, you can turn around and pick up the item again.

21 - Head back to the face on the wall and place the Gem in an eye. Now head in the other direction to get the next Blue Gem.

22 - Go to the iron gate and open it by pulling the chain, now fight 4x Herder. Look around and collect 2x Grim Cap and 1 Tar Bead. Now pull the lever, this will open the iron gate so you can get the last Blue Gem. Once you have the Blue Gem, make sure you press the button on the wall where you found the gem. The button opens a secret wall, so you can get anothar Tar Bead plus a Dagger and 2x Cave Nettle.

23 - Go back to the face on the wall, get ready for a fight, as soon as you place the last Blue Gem in its eyes the Door to your left will open and a Undead skelly will attack you, kill it. i choose to take the Gems back as they are light and can be useful as placement items.

24 - Now go down the passage the Skelly came out of. You will come to an Iron Door. A scroll naarby gives a hint to opening the Iron door - look around for 2 loose stones. Behind the Iron door is a Secret - A Whitewood Wand and a scroll saying its for Mages.

25 - In the next room is a Blue crystal that gives full life and energy as well as doing a quicksave. Collect the Scroll of Poison Cloud. You can now go down the Stairs to Level 2...
