On one of many tries I managed to put all 4 keys and get the treasure just to die afterwards

. I give up.

You gave up sooo close to the end??

I found my fire mage quite usefull at the end. With him keeping Fire Shield up all the time those Uggardians had a hard time hurting me.

I tried with fire shield. No luck though.

The end is tough but quite beatable even on hard mode, though another player had a lot of trouble here too. It's best to kill the first three guardians(you should be able to in the time between the next one) then ignore others and make a run for it. If your fast you should never see more than two at a time.

After restart finally I could made it to the end. Just loved it

There's as lot of secrets still missing, guess I found only 12. But I found the icefall hammer. Dude, that secret was evil
I´d like to play it again to find all of them. What discourages me is that puzzle with the moving plates. It's the part that I spent more time to get through, I belive that if you change the time the pits stay closed to a bit more would be better

Anyway, I'll wait for the sequel, I hope you release it soon. Pyramid of Xafi is still the best module so far imo

Actually this makes this puzzle so interesting. The timing of the pits can be influenced by the player(!)

depending on how/when he presses/releases the pressure plates beneath.

Yeah, I´ve got that. But in my opinion it's annoying to drop down and get back from time to time to get the plates on a good way to travel. Of course, the third time I´ll play will be even easier due the experience, but this is the only point of complain for me in that terrific module

Yes I agree but I feel sooooo good knowing that and making this puzzle really easy knowing this trick...

One of the best time was also the end that was so different compared to all the mods Ive played so far

Not forgetting how fun it was to kill the ogre by jumping into the pit on its head near the archers area

Well, this looks like an interesting mod, but I've gotten stuck early on:
Thanks!

I'm on level 5, just did the "Gladiator challenge", and now I'm in an area with a bunch of pressure plates. I figured out that one plate opens a gate, and another one opens a moving wall next to it, but neither one stays open long enough for me to get through. Is there a special trick to it, or am I just not fast enough?

Thanks!

Each pressure plate only triggers a single action when pressed. Some open stuff, some close stuff. Note on your map which plate does what and you'll make it thru.

Still not getting it, I'm afraid. I think I know which plates open and close the gate and wall, but there's only one path I can go, so there's no way to avoid the closing plates. There's a couple of other plates that I'm not sure what they do...I'm guessing one of them opens up an alternate path, but I've been running around in circles for a while now, and nothing is showing up. Sorry to be dumb, can I get a more specific hint?
