Pokey, I can certainly relate to that.

Finally got through that part. Once I had one dead, I figured I could get the other. We limped out with two members of the party dead and the other two with a shred of life. Glad to get by that.

WoooHooo Pokey You did it

I was getting really worried near the end of level 4 when I had very little food and was afraid we would starve, but the beginning of level 5 has enough to keep us going. Halfway through level 5 now and being careful to not use too much.

Sounds like you are making excellent progress!

I thought I had hit a wall on a timed puzzle on level 5. My computer is not good enough to get me through a door. I found a person on the Grimrock forum who took my save and played past the door. Thanks to him, I am on my way again.

I hope to get an upgrade soon.

I'm so glad someone was able to do that for you. Have fun

Timing based puzzles can be a bit tricky in this game. Even if you have a PC that is good enough.

I detest timed puzzles. They make me rage!

Well, I thought I was done with this game. There is a timed puzzle on level 5 that is very difficult. I have to cross a path of 22 trapdoors that are opening and closing quite fast. My fingers just couldn't keep up with it. Then I spied my Cyber Snipa game pad next to my keyboard, grabbed my husband and sat him down next to it. He did the right and left directions on it and I did the up and down on my keyboard. Didn't take us too long to get through it.

Wooo Hooo Pokey, now that's teamwork!

I had a lucky break on level 6. A big bad Ogre was chasing us and we ducked into a room and slammed the gate. I thought we were safe, but somehow he got in (through a portal, I guess) and he hit us before I knew he was there. He slammed us again, knocking us right next to a resurrection crystal. We fought toe to toe till all were nearly dead and then turned and got resurrected. That was enough to keep us going till we killed him. I am nearly through level 6 but have a tricky puzzle to do yet.

Wow! That was great

Level 6 was a tough one but fun. There was a timed puzzle that was the hardest yet and then a room full of lizards with no escape. I finally got past those. One good thing, there was plenty of food from snails that respawn and I can return when I need more. We are getting stronger with better equipment and the fire demons and giant snails are not so scary anymore. Onward and downward to dungeon level 7.

"onward and downward..." I love it
