This one of the coolest mods I've played in a while, but there were a few spots I struggled with.

be sure that you did not just place the zip in there, unzip the .dat file to your dungeons folder.

many thanks for this awesome mod!

can't find a key for 'iron doors' in the end of 2nd level, any hints? There is a seemingly unworking lever at the beginning of the level, maybe it's related to the key?

upd:
SpoilerShow
found two keys on level 3, so finally opened all the doors
...just have finished the game, 1st time, top difficulty - that was tough, both fighting monsters in certain spots and solving some puzzles (they are good).
SpoilerShow
'four times four' puzzle: I didn't realized it's all about the weight even after I opened the door. I found that a spear I used to have with a stone also opens the door, so just went back to level 1, collected one more spear and an orcish axe from teh secret on level 2... with 3 chars having yellow food bar :)

Really enjoyed this release, it's definitely worth giving a spin for those who haven't already. Wrote up a review on my site and thought you'd be interested to know about that; http://taw.duke4.net/2013/07/grimrock/t ... alan-vael/

I do look forward to any other projects you might release in the future.

Hello,
I am playing through for the 3rd time now and am curious if you have a list of secrets (I just need to know how many per level there are) I would like to fully complete it this run through.
thank you for the mod!

Which don't help in the slightest when the game cuts off all backtracking after a certain point.
