Poignant potion in Ancylus's room and the normal ones in jKos's rooms; meaning they can't mix the rotten human flesh in with the one from Ancylus's room. This leads them to think they have the wrong solution and, quite possibly, death. ;)
I can't remember if the one in Ancylus's room has a description, but can we somehow differentiate between the two?
The confusion/problem arises only when players temper with stuff found there without thinking about it's origin.
SpoilerShow
There is no poignant potion in Ancylus room, only the Numbing Flask which actually is a cool one-time AntiDote. Once used it contains a Poignant Potion which works like a regular Poignant Potion but upon use it leaves behind the Numbing Flask and not a regular flask.
People also prolly get nuts about the Ice Lizard steak they keep from this room .. :twisted:

Eating that steak like 10 hours later, while in the endgame, going "huh?", then understanding, was one of my best moments in that mod. That, and the time I got a wild surge french cancan right in the middle of dancing around the master warden and its pits... priceless.

For those that care - well ok me - am still reviewing all teh rooms. :) with the new patch decided to start again:

couple of points to raise:

Spiderfighter:
SpoilerShow
you can throw puzzle items out over pit at beginning, trapping party forever. perhaps some sort of gate / barrier on corridor so all thrown items fall down pit? (sev 3 bug, minor)
Aaneton:
SpoilerShow
anyone else find when they make everyone guilty, go into the secret space where the judge was standing and pull lever to open courtroom portcullis, the torch bracket disappears instead and door remains closed? Stops ability to get secret #2, ie you cannot revisit room as portcullis is permanently closed. (sev 2, non-essential, though makes a secret unobtainable)
Also:
Boyflea (I know)
SpoilerShow
I'll check on this 2nd walkthru, but in response to previous criticism, the key seems to be under the statue. Minor, but given chance simply re-orientating to 'E' on tile, rather than 'N' will resolve.(sev 3, bit frustrating - but hey, will check again on this playthru)
Let me know if it is just me, cheers :)

With regards to SpiderFighter's room:
SpoilerShow
There is actually a secret button in the room that will allow you to close the pit and leave prior to completing the room. That was added for just this reason!

Actually, there's a secret button right next to the pit that allows you to exit, for that specific reason. Also allows you to exit if you use the ingredients to do something else and don't have enough left for the potion of umbral absolution. As you can technically get an unlimited supply of reagents in the arena, the room will always be solvable.
EDIT: John was faster than me on that one! :)

Aaneton: I'll check, or aaneton might and suggest me some changes if necessary.

Since patch 3, the key is now on the piedestal, right behind the statue's right foot.

That's true, and this dungeon is still easy compared to old school adventure games, ok, maybe easy is not the right word, but let's say that it's not impossible without guides. Most games are too easy nowadays anyway, so let's just keep it in it's current state.

Really minor thing I noticed playing the new patch from scratch: in the "Prison Storage (Confiscated Items)" alcove:

There are two Scrolls of Light in it.

"Margonon's Fall" (The glasses with coloured lenses, Violet, the torn diary entries, hallucinogenic mushrooms, the nonograms...)
Figuring out the first nonogram (or rather, the fact that it is a nonogram) was the hardest thing in this whole
mod for me, but at the same time it's pretty fair - in fact I guessed the correct interpretation of the numbers
after a few minutes, but made a stupid mistake implementing it (and didn't notice what I was drawing), and
promptly decided it must have been an incorrect interpretation, leading to trying a bunch of increasingly
ridiculous interpretations before finally trying the right one again. Still one of the best puzzles in my opinion.
The music puzzle is my favourite in the entire game, I particularly appreciated the
concealment of the white key. My only complaint is that you didn't use something more interesting than C major.
The story is also by far the most skillfully done in my opinion (though I would have appreciated better grammar),
and the hallucinogenic mushrooms and wild magic effects are quite amusing.
I also only realized the significance of the name after completing the mod. Twice. D'OH.

No idea what a

am currently looking at the level editor code and even have 4 patterns in LUA: how do I implement those patterns in this 9x9 room.
