here is a brief outline of the new 16 level "Excalibar dungeon", the 'Chiefy Dungeon' was just 7 levels, so it is more than double the size of that.

in the "Chiefy Dungeon" there was no encouragement at all for your Sorcerer to learn new spells, so that has changed in Excalibar, where a good number of spell scrolls are to be found.

I think it is safe to say that Chiefy D was a novice 2 hour battle mission where Excal D is a 4 hour detective mission. There are great battles to be had, but half way through the game in Excal, you are suddenly presented with so many routes and options that need "trying out," that you certainly could "lose your way" without strong concentration. The basic premise is that seven treasure items have to be found and the first an "Ancient Apparatus," is right there on Level 1 to give you the idea. Each time you find a treasure, an onscreen message confirms this and you hear a chime. Once you have the seven in your possession you then need to surrender them in the appropriate manner. You will then be invited to walk the final 100 yards to the end level (Level 16) (Game complete)

hi, download dungeon from http://nationaltraffic.co.uk/DungeonofExcalibarS16.dat "SAVE TARGET AS" or "SAVE AS" to "Almost Human" "Legend of Grimrock" "Dungeons"

Thanks very much for attempting Excalibar Dungeon, please VIEW http://youtu.be/uCsAFgaq5VQ if you have any problems in the first 10 minutes of the game, it shows you exactly how to progress :D

there are three "torch holders" in the launch room, the middle one is a bit of a red herring but the outer two are critical, just place the torch in the outer two torch holders to progress, in both cases you can remove the torch afterwards and move on, please check out the video above to see this in action
