100 Secret review
As most of these reviews are prior to the 100th secret being added, I will add my review:

First of all, if you are using this as a decision to download or not, ABSOLUTELY download this MOD. It is both challenging and rewarding and will keep you hooked. As good as the original if in different manners. Some of the secrets are very thought-provoking, and very few are the frustrating speed challenges where there is truly less time than necessary. This is a great mod, well crafted, and almost entirely without glitches (I think I encountered 1).

I still have not completed the game, although I can finish anytime I would like, but I would like to find all of the secrets. I'm over 40 hours on this and finished 92/100 secrets. It is a very large mod, and actually taking me more time than the original game.

Some suggestions for those taking their first pass at this:

There are a few boss battles that are very challenging. Suggestion is to walk away, and return when you have leveled up to be able to deal with the situation.

Similarly, there are areas on the map that may not be accessible but from another map- if you cant see a path, find a button or lever, then mark it on the map and you may arrive at the location later.

***IMPORTANT*** - mark down every secret on the map. At one point you will be given a letter with a summary of secrets per map- if you mark them down it will be easier to find the missing secrets.

**IMPORTANT** - you can run out of food , gems, or potions, and some will be necessary to finish the game- as will specific weapons, armor, etc. Do not waste any, and pick up all items and store them for later use. Stop trading in red gems for experience once you no longer receive scrolls with your experience gain. You may need them for other purposes or even food at a later stage.

If you start with a Minotaur, the headhunter trait is useful as there are many skulls to be found. Also, I never found a scroll for the simple freeze spell so I assume it is not available in this mod. Therefore don't count on using it- and you will absolutely want the water breathing spell so make sure to devote some of your level /knowledge points to both Air and Water earlier in the game.

**IMPORTANT** not to ruin any secrets or gameplay, but note that similar monsters do not have equal strength, and using certain items or performing certain actions consumes more food usage than in LOG 2.

Thanks to the creator for spending the hours on this mod- it has proved to be very enjoyable. I hope you also enjoy your walk through the Lost City.

Glad to do it- this was an amazing mod that required a lot of thought. I found everything including both ending options, all treasures, epic items, gold keys (and the horde at the end)- except one secret, I'll ask for a hint on the comments page.

This is great mod, much better than original one. I got a gear key to leave island, but still wanna do more progress to reveal secrets.
