One ailment of the game also manifested itself here, so I don't want to discourage anyone who is a bulldog and wants to go through every dungeon, so this is really annoying, but marginality. Pressing the movement arrow does not always react to the first good one, sometimes it happens to me that I have to press twice to get the group moving. And why did I look at the map in a Polish manual for that?<br /><br />On this floor it is necessary to jump into the teleport, which throws you in the totally fiery burning area, every square is burning. That's why you keep alternating spells, heal all, heal all, levitation, heal all, and you take steps into it, examine the walls, and keep getting hit by fire. In a large lighted hall, it is necessary to press one lever and then climb into each square in it, because one of them hides a stepping platform under the flames. Two closed walls open, and thus the passage away. Fire (probably lava) pours into the passage and it is necessary to scare, because it is impossible to cast magic in this corridor. So no heal, no levitation. So I scared, but the hallway was blind and my gang was dying in disgrace. The second attempt, I find a door, a wall penetrates behind it, some things on the ground, but I die again like Jan Hus. I try all the walls in that corridor, on several attempts I find a permeable small niche, where the fire does not hurt me and I can also do magic. permeable wall. But she didn't reveal herself to me. and why? Well, because just in the escape of fire, the arrow did not show me in the given place and a bunch of walls did not pass, and I decided that the wall is not passable. A bit of a technical stick under your feet that needs to be kept in mind. As long as you are not sure that the game wrote you a text that you cannot pass through this wall, it is possible that you simply missed the non-reaction of the movement arrow. It sounds disgusting, but despite all this, it's a great game :-)Ringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793506834727465042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-6735026703728291822021-06-17T01:21:27.571-04:002021-06-17T01:21:27.571-04:00Both languages are very similar, we was one Republ...Both languages are very similar, we was one Republic from 1918 - 1939 and 1945 - 1992 - Czechoslovakia.Ringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793506834727465042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-40791332549746764952021-06-16T20:02:41.960-04:002021-06-16T20:02:41.960-04:00Now I'm imagining a troll manager.

There are not many true puzzles. The hardest of them are find some secret switches. Yes, there are some dead ends, but I do not remember this in the sewers levels 3, but i remember one from the sewers level 2, where i was locked between pillars and I had to load. There are also some not reachable areas, especially in the tower levels. I love this game for fantastic atmosphere and interesting graphic.
