Legend of Grimrock

SIMPLE A - Z walk through of levels 1 - 4 (first hour of play)first of all, here's the dungeon:LeveL 1 [Crusadors] 1st dungeon level from Surface (Launch beach)
LeveL 2  [Surface] Launch Beach, game starts here
LeveL 3 [Deep Dungeons] second stage dungeons, lovely puzzles
LeveL 4 [The Nexus Vaults] third stage dungeons and real fighting starts now
LeveL 5 [Castle Grounds] easy outside areas, looks gorgeous
LeveL 6 [Blue Stones I] Healing Crystals and Your Home Base, dump your excess stuff here
LeveL 7 [Old Railings Level] Tricky getting those 2 levers pulled (Tomb Level here too)
LeveL 8 [Survival Beach] looks pretty similar to Surface Beach but more fighting
LeveL 9 [River of Archers] underwater levers need finding here, quite difficult
LeveL 10 [The Old Mine] Loot and hidden areas galore
LeveL 11 [Planteganet Army] Toorum's remains and quite a lot of his blessed artefacts, grab 'em!
LeveL 12  [Lagoons] underwater secret buttons and loot, patience is a virtue, take it slow
LeveL 13 [Prison Fortress] Blue Stones II is here somewhere, can you find it?
LeveL 14  [Old Dungeons]   squalid fetid stinking old ramshackle passages and long forgotten rooms
LeveL 15 [Swamp Lands] curiously difficult to move around because of the trees
LeveL 16 [Castlevania] also known as Lindworm Warehouse - find the "Master Key"
Level 17 [Skeleton Base] Highly dangerous terrain and Villains, but "with a plan" ....You start on Level 2, Surface Beach. You have been washed ashore with 3 mates from a shipwreck.STEP A  move sideways to the rocks in the water NORTH, the rocks are hollow, find the treasure chest!STEP B move to the Southern Beach, operate the LEVER that opens the main dungeon gates downSTEP C you are now on Level 1, Crusadors, easy learning curve here, just spot the rocks on the ground.STEP D  rocks on the ground mean "Secret Button" near! Press the secret button, descend 2 levelsSTEP E More rocks on the ground 2 levels down, press the secret button, explore the room, press Another secret buttonSTEP F  move on, you come to a bracket on the wall that looks like it should have a torch on itSTEP G  backtrack and search for a torch, place it in the bracket, a secret door opensSTEP H  as soon as the secret door opens LOOK FOR A SECRET BUTTON very nearby, press itSTEP I  this closes the very secret door that you just opened, so PRESS IT AGAIN! now go back to where you found the torchSTEP J  after fighting the Mummy from the secret room, place all the items BACK onto the alcoves! NOW go back to where you found the torchSTEP K  find the Orb of Vilson just inside the portcullis to the Bumblebee Room. if you can collect 3 of the Vilson Orbs you can get in to the TOMB later
STEP L  continue on and look for a rock on the ground, then very nearby press a secret buttonSTEP M  move down a level and straight across to another secret button, press it. have a look around, the WEST WALL has a blue/ grey metal door, this is opened with a BRASS KEY. See two alcoves that look too high to access. You can drop down onto these later from above!  STEP N descend the PIT to the next level downSTEP O  you are now on Level 3 "DEEP DUNGEONS" : change direction so you are facing SOUTH, move ahead and kill the MummySTEP P jump down a level, find the PRISON KEY in an alcove, jump down a level, find a torch on a wall, remove it. the wall opposite opens to reveal a staircase. have a look around, the WEST WALL has a blue/ grey metal door, this is opened with an IRON KEY. If you have an Iron Key certainly explore past here but without a Gold Key this will not be much use. (SAVE THE GAME)  [NOTE, recommended, do STEPS Q - T before descending pit (to Blue Stones) because this gives the team many items/ skills before Blue Stones "Missions"] STEP Q  ascend the staircase where you just removed the torch, at the top find a secret button, access a bomb stash, move along the balconey, half way along find secret button, another stash, get to end of balconey Final secret button, this triggers a portcullis back in the middle of the portcullis, that leads to a passageway (that contains the MINE KEY and the Gold Key) from which you can jump down to those two alcoves that you saw before that looked too high, grab the loot from those alcoves, includes two really good weapons!STEP R return to the balconey, jump off it but you do not want to stay on the ledge below, move immediately to get off it and progress away from the area to fight the herders, more loot to be hadSTEP S in the herder's base a secret area that contains a small secret button 2 rooms in, DANGER: LARGE HERDERS to fight if you press it but of course, more loot as wellSTEP T in Crusadors now jump down and fight a Crusador, teleport to the Castle Area and use an Iron Key to progress further into the Dungeons [NOTE] use an IRON KEY to explore a Library Dungeon, climb the ladder to see the RED GEM and GREEN GEM, now you know where they are, get them later!] STEP U return to the Balconey where you found the passageway that dropped down to the high alcoves. this time drop onto the ledge below and fight all the Mummmies DANGER : 3 SPIDERS, CAUTION use your bombs to see these off, loot is worth the fighting! STEP V ok **  now ** find your way to the 'Blue Stones' with at least 1 Gold Key and 1 Iron Key, pick any missions from there, your Team should now have sufficient items and skills [NOTE, pick doors at each END of the Blue Stones room to unlock first, then the doors in the middle of the room with a Gold Lock between them, you see in both cases stairs leading up, OPEN THESE DOORS next! ] STEP W ok go up the stairs from the Blue Stones that lead to the Water Lanes, you are back in the "DEEP DUNGEONS" level here and your overall aim is to move SOUTH, but be careful. there is a locked metal door on the Southern Wall, you must first UNLOCK ITSTEP X  unlock the Metal Door on the Southern Wall by finding the rocks on the West side of the Lagoon Lanes, these mark where you should jump in to the water and press a secret underwater button which UNLOCKS   the Metal Door on the Southern WallSTEP Y swim to the Southern Wall and go through the now unlocked Metal Door, enter NEXUS VAULTS: DANGER [SAVE THE GAME]STEP Z note the Pressure Plates as you see the top platform of Nexus Vaults, these trigger a cage that traps a very dangerous enemy, only use it as a last resort!! [TIP, cage the Xeleroid in this]
