...you have to check which orb is for which gate. halph can help you to open some gates, some you have to toggle yourself. it is possible to kill the eyes in the chamber in the south without awake them.

A few things to note about the room:

Hope that helps a bit. This room definitely requires you to think about the order in which you do things...

OK, I'm baffled... 'extra orb' for the one little gold gate up there at the top? What TO do with that? I figure if I could get the eyeballs w/out being invisible, then i'd be visible on the way up the final path and become invisible as i crossed the force arrow; otherwise, i simply can't figure how to get the last eyeball...i must be missing the obvious, but i'm stumped!

took me a few to figure why the extra orb. on to level 8 :w00t

This does lead to an additional, oxymoronic, question . . . is there an obvious way to find secret rooms, beyond investigating each square of wall in a given level? So far, the only secret room I've found in this hold is on level 4, suggesting either that they're rare or that even dragging the sword across walls doesn't work.

Thanks -

See that road in the grass on the right side of the room? Follow that to the next room down, then come back up...

Well, they are somewhat rare. Usually only 1 per level, although some have more. Most of them are behind the secret walls, which are difficult to see, but which certainly are discoverable by dragging your sword along the walls. Usually people just look through all the rooms from the Restore screen after they've beaten the hold and are going back trying to find the secret rooms, if they don't just find them in the course of playing the game.

Game on,

It's hard to tell what your trouble is from here. Clicking on your highscore link, I see that absolutely none of your progress has been uploaded to CaravelNet. If you are properly connected to CaravelNet, there should be a green checkmark in the upper right corner of the main menu screen. I'm guessing you don't have one there.

If there is a red X instead of a green checkmark in that corner,

If there are gray rings instead of a green checkmark in that corner,

If you can't get that green checkmark, I'm afraid I can't help you. You should email support@caravelgames.com for better help. Also, you should check out the CaravelNet FAQ.

If you can get the green checkmark, then we're in business. The room images you can't see will become viewable when the CaravelNet server knows you've visited them. However the game only sends infomation about rooms visited but not conquered when you stop playing and return to the main screen (with Continue Playing Game on it). So make sure you do that before trying to view a room image.

You might also want to hit the "Upload Scores" button on the settings page after you get a green checkmark to have the game upload all your pending progress to the server.

I went down the road to the right (on the grass) came back up, nothing. I stuck my sword into the walls, but I still can't figure out how to enter the room from the south.

When you come back up having gone down the road to the right, that's where you need to be.

Is #5 a reference to a photo of the room?

Must I come in from the South? The only entrance I have found is coming in from the East, and then I cannot seem to lure the roaches out of their room.

Are you sure we're talking about the same room?

There's a lot of grass in the right half, with a walkway coming in from the east and exiting to the south.

My only problem is doing the Evil Eye chamber; I can't seem to do it without the invisibility potion, yet at the same time, I can't use it if I want to get the final chamber done.
