I disagree with you.
When we were doing this dungeon, the party, was composed, for most peole, by players who had already played Graal games (So they have already knowledge and intuitions about of to do things in graal games.)
Don't get me wrong, I do not saying that this dungeon was too diffucult, Im here just to improve game experience for beginners.
(I knew since the beginning, that we would never finish this dungeon being that weak.)
Im here referring to neophytes without any experience of graal games — starting this game from zero. Thereby, all my comments here trying to prevent what mostly games nowadays have tendencies to do — let the new players without any guidance. So there must be "some tips" (like an NPC or help screen) for news players to better introduce them into this new world.
(I think personnaly that Delteria have a great potential to attract alot of new players who never played Graal games before.)
In fact, I was watching you (without any interventions from my part) just to see how long would you take to understand the mecanics of this rooms.
(You have taken 45 mins-1h10 to understand theses mecanics.):
-Put the rock in the water — very fast, 1 mins because most of the (old) players knew what to do because of their Graal intuitions, by extension their experience.
-Dont be near to the traps ( the one firing arrows) to let the holder stone put this one in the waterfall — after 20-30 mins ( I told you finally to how to do it)
-Be ready next to the archers to kill them before they destroy the stone in the waterfall — after 30mins-40mins (I've also told you that after 30 mins.)
But as you stated we were too weak to get rid of the monsters.
(By the way, sorry if I do mistakes, english isn't my native language)

My opinion:
Dungeons are not supposed to be easy. They have puzzle rooms for a reason, to attempt to make players work together to find out how to get to the next room.
No new players who have never played graal before will be able to complete that dungeon. That is because they would need to have played Delteria for awhile to get enough XP to even attempt the dungeon. After they are a decent level, they will attempt the dungeon with their friends, and then they will need to work together to find out how to complete the dungeon.
We worked out how to do the dungeon with team work, and we were unlucky that people left before we could get through.
I've played all graal games, but this gave me no advantage over someone who has never played a graal game before. It was just trial and error, until we worked out together how to get through to the next room. That for me is the purpose of a dungeon.
