Hi :)
I tried the trick :) its really nice :) , but navigating over the walls
seems to be really hard.
I've found two other things:
11. After the "Hall of Tortured Souls" appears you can turn around and
when you see the grey wall in front of you, try to type very quickly "az"
(no quotes). The trick is , that you have to press "z" after "a" pretty
soon , because it wont work. It should replace the "exelfka" :)
12. Additional navigating buttons: "d" is up, "c" is down.
