Thank you for the hints. With the shovel, I apparently was too dumb to turn around and and check behind me in the first quest room in the town. I will be coming back to the Sewers at some point, so thank you (but I'm pretty sure I opened the last lock there with a lockpick, so not sure if I'm gonna need a key).
Again, big thanks for the answers and hints!

Shovel Hint: Have you fully searched Grey Foothills? There's a note middle S that hints where to find it.

Shovel Answer: Granite Caves as far as you can go SE there's a cache of goodies including a shovel. You can drop into the caves from the hole next to where you find the note.

Key Hint: How many pieces of cheese did you find? Can you see the same number of things around you?

Key Answer: Put a piece of cheese into each of the grates at the bottom of the walls. Be ready for a fight!!!

A little help needed. I can't seem to find a shovel, I must have missed it somewhere in the beginning, I guess? I've now checked out the Sunken City and am exploring the Old Sewers, found a bunch of notes about burried stuff but can not dig it out.
And in the Old Sewers after the rat boss you get a note that says a key was stolen by some pests (I'm asssuming little rats?) and that they need to be lured out. I assume you need to use the cheese somewhere? A hint would be appreciated.

Ah shit well i guess i need to keep that in mind in the other 2 he made just in case i guess (would not have been a problem if so many res books was not in the mod btw seems a little stupid to ask a player to get all 4 poisoned if you can get 100% res beacause of so many res books)

You don't. From memory I seem to think that it's non recoverable and yes, I also fell into the same trap and couldn't complete the secret. If you're lucky you'll have a save at a point where you hadn't raised your poison resistance to max.

Hello i wanted to ask about how you poison youself when your at 100 res? i can't seem to get myself poisoned for a secret so how do i get it?

Glad i can help :)

Ha, thanks, missed that secret button to lower the wall ;)

Troll Plateau , center East of map

I cannot for the life of me find the Shrine of Air? I have the essence but just don't seem to be able to locate the Shrine!

Really like the mod overall.
The fighting part closer to the end is annoying though, enemies are super fat and it takes forever to kill a snake or a spider. I ended up spawning crystals just to faceroll everything.

@KaraTutiiro If you think this one is good (which it is!) then you need to do Final Adventure, it'll blow your mind lol.

@Kysumu Thanks for answering! I decided to just spawn an extra key in, instead of taking however many hours to go over the entire map again. Great mod, though!

@KaraTutiiro Hi, yes I'm still looking :) There is indeed a Gold Key there but it's through the door that you open with a gold key after the Silent One. In there you will find some puzzles and your last secret area. The key you find there is used to open the door to the actual game end in the same area that you find it, so it's not a spare key for you to collect. There are 27 gold keys in total and should be enough to complete the game so maybe you've missed one somewhere else?

Hi, I don't know if anyone is really looking at these comments at this point, but I need a little help. I have 99 secrets and all 17 treasures, but I'm missing one (I think) gold key (for the lock after the Silent One). I saw a comment saying that there's one somewhere in Livingrock , which I can't remember getting. Can someone tell me exactly where that one is, so I can check?

Ok, so the mod is truly magnificent. No questioning there.
But dude, but that thing with the skulls!? One gathers skulls during the larger part of the game, honing the Minotaur to be the big bad guy he is supposed to be, only to hand them out (optionally), and trade them for two times less skill points and one meager EXP book which doesn't give more than two monster's worth...

Correct me if I am wrong but I didn't see the way back to get them. The way in got shut after stepping into the secret room. That also means no 100% secrets if you don't want to make a rather stupid trade. A heart-wrenching thing, indeed.

Nevermind,took a nap and found the exit! I've must've been blind! Great Mod Adrageron!

Got into the Thieves' trial without a extra lockpick, am I softlocked?

@bbhaefner It will open when you have all other essences on their shrines.

Thank you. I figured it out
I'm in the Shrine of Balance and can't figure out how to open spike gate to the etherial dagger.

@bbhaefner You need to arrange the blocks so the bolt goes into the middle North wall. If you do it right, the bolt will go round the room in a full circle before it heads North. There is a second puzzle in this room involving the switches on the West and East walls with the blocks in different positions.

What is the solution to the cube puzzle in the masuleum?

I have a non-steam copy of Grimrock 2 and wanted to go through the Lost City mod, but I noticed the files on nexus and moddb are outdated. Is the v2.4 of the mod available for download at some other location?

The combat is somewhat overtuned. Very painful, despite that, I enjoyed the puzzles for the most part. If anyone is having trouble, check out "Tyler Anderson"'s videos on youtube, Helped me a lot with, well, a lot.
Have a lovely day everyone <3
Thanks Adrageron, for the adventure.

Fantastic. Even though not everything may be perfectly designed, the core of the game has been captured well here. Great additional content that certainly took a lot of work to create.

Enjoyed this mod a ton. Had a couple problems (The unseeable and barely atall reachable pressure plate at the top of troll plateau facing opposite Sir Aster's grave) but overall it was fun and impressive. Excited to try out your other mods as well. Arguably better than the base game.

@Sparky I have a note of locations for 27 keys, I can't remember if this is the total number, however, they aren't in a handy list I can put here. I think 18 of them are in secrets and 1 is in a treasure, how many of the 100 secrets and 12 treasures have you found? Might help to narrow it down a bit.

So....I'm right at the very end of the game and missing one gold key!!!!:(
...is there anyway I can find locations of all the Gold Keys?
Thank you!

Was able to get through sunken city without too much trouble in the end except for one section (with a warning) I could not explore much. So not so bad after all!

Found a little bug: went back to the path of suffering and you can get stuck on a tile right in front of a gargoyle head shooting fire ( 2nd to last one I think). There was an invisible wall preventing me from leaving the tile.

@blob I don't think it's mandatory, seem to remember I didn't have it skilled up for a lot of the game but once you've got it the underwater exploration becomes so much easier and less stressful!

Is the waterbreathing spell basically mandatory to explore certain levels? Air magic is the only one I did not pick so having to put 3 skill points for it is brutal.

@kysumu thank you sir, i must of missed it, thank you :)

@Twinkle Yes there is a spell called Water Breathing!

Clue: The scroll for this spell can be found in Murklands

Solution: The scroll is on a pedestal at (21,29)

or i'm guessing i'm missing something, don't see how you're meant to do sunken city without something to breathe underwater? any help would be great :)

is there an underwater spell, its driving me crazy! :D

@Kysumu (Sorry about typo before) Nevermind! Managed to find it AND a solution to my air elemental problem :)

@Kyusumu Thank you! It seems the element of air is against me in this game, because now I can't find the air shrine to place the element and open up the balance shrine to place it. Don't suppose you know where that is as well?

@DapperCap there's an Ethereal Blade which is also used to solve a puzzle and I think it gets consumed as I don't see it in my end game inventory. Location is on the altar which opens up when you place the Essence of Balance on the shrine in NW Whispering Forest.

Hi there! I'm dealing with some air elementals, and can't use Dispel at the moment, are there any Ethereal weapons in this? I'm having trouble tracking them down...

@Leo the blocks have to be positioned in two different patterns to complete two different puzzles. Put them on the orange squares to open the north gate, which I assume you've done. To open the wall to the chest arrange the blocks like the "resetting pattern" note shows you with one in the middle square and the rest at the edge of the area north, south, east and west to make a cross shape, then press the reset button and the wall should open.

There's a chest in Al-Ator visible through some trees. It looks like you have to open a fake wall from inside the block-puzzle area. There don't seem to be any secret switches, though. Do we have to place the blocks in a certain pattern to open access to that chest?

Is the "Resetting Pattern" note related to this? I put the blocks in the pattern on the note and it didn't do anything, though. Any clues?

Is there any secret location list that is in written form not video?

Is version 2.1 save file compatible with version 2.4?
Nexus and MOD DB have older version 2.1

@Kysuma, Thanks for the hint, Ill go try and figure it out myself

@Wizard OK got it now. I'll give you a clue in case you want to work it out, then the solution for it in case you can't. Clue: If you stand on the iron bridge and face S what can you see that might give you an idea (try throwing some fireballs if nothing stands out). Solution: There are two recesses in the wall, throw an item from the 2nd and 4th position on the bridge towards the S wall and the items will land on some Floor Plates to create a magic bridge so you can cross over and there's a toggle switch which opens the door for you. Have fun!

@Kysumu Pardon Meant the troll caves but its underneath the troll plateau if that helps?

@Wizasrd don't recognise "the troll cavern" can you tell me what map you are on and I'll try to help if I can.

So I am in the troll cavern right after the dance with death challenge in the top right, I finished it and am on the iron pathway above the room but the door at the end is not opening, is the door at the end supposed to open? or am I missing something.

@Smokejuice Invisibility spell is Air Magic 4, Concentration 2 I assume that you don't have the scroll as it tells you what you need on the scroll. If you want to get the scroll then it's at Burial Grounds (16,16) dig up the grave.

@Vceli From the "Shock Tunnel" sign move to the W end of the passage, then S, then 2 squares E there is a wall switch operate the switch 7 times to open the next door. If you need help getting through the rest of the Shock Tunnel let me know, I'm sure you'll work it out though :)
