Looney, there is a pit in front of me and you cannot jump in this game. Throwing something to the portal beyond the pit is the only option ... except in my case the portal sends the rock to the wrong position in the dungeon. OK, I finally got it, but it never worked with thrown objects. It did work when I shot a crossbow bolt. I have more points in bows so this may have been a factor. Thanks for suffering with me everyone.

Rowan, glad you got past the frustration. There are a couple of tough spots but once you get the hang of things it all makes sense. The more I play, the more impressed I am. Unlike many dungeon crawlers, this one requires you to think and use your imagination to get past puzzles. One word of advice: Some of the puzzles require you to move very quickly. If any or all of your party members are encumbered (snail icon) you will not make it through. I know I've missed many things in the game, but that's part of its charm; there's a lot to discover. I'm on level 7 and still loving it (had a break to go to Toronto for a couple of weeks). I'm playing on Easy, by the way. I initially started on Normal but built my party members poorly and found myself unable to go on.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Pokey, I haven't played this. Have you checked on this page?

I should really get back to this game. I was having loads of fun.
And then we moved. After 30 years in the same house.
Ugh.
All I ' ve been able to focus on is old comfy games, familiar stuff like MM and BG2. Otherwise it would have been too much newness. But now I think I may be able to get back to all my new games.
The trick to Grimmrock is to know exactly where you are on the grid. For the timed puzzles you have to be exact, with every move worked out in advance. I suprised myself a few times by getting through what I initially thought was impossible.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
