Elodea Exploration

[gchaser]

Sorry if I am duplicating other's requests, or if this is in the wrong forum, but I remember recently (last 4 months or so) reading about someone doing an extensive exploration/walkthrough of Elodea. I want to start playing this Age and wondered if anyone can steer me in the right direction. Thank you!

First a short explanation of all ages

Elodea is a age consisting of four separate ages.
ElodeasOberwelt (Upperworld)
ElodeasUnterwelt (Underworld)
ElodeasTunnelgang (Tunnel passage)
ElodeasSchatzkammern (Treasure rooms)

Each age is playable individually for themselves.
In each of these ages you'll find 7 journeyclothes. Did you find all 7 in one of the ages, a previously closed area will be available for you.

The Journey Cloth have a fixed placement. It is possible that you find the cloth 4, befor cloth 3.
This does not affect the gameplay.
It is possible that another player pushes in front of you cloth 3, 4 and 5. So you have only to find 1,2,6 and 7 to open the hidden Door.

When you visit Elodea, you'll first linked in a large hall. You 're in the upper world.
On the wall you see a cloth. It is not the usual Journeycloth, which you know from the original games.
It is a link cloth. You should not use it unless you Elodea visiting for the first time.
The cloth should be a help, to find the connection to a group more quickly, for example after a crash.

In each of the four ages you will find again this cloth. There, too, it has only the function of a
link cloth!!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Dulcamara! This is way more than I expected, and from the Age Author herself!!! What a treat!

I am really looking forward to getting started!

Thanks again!

[janaba]

This is really wonderful, thank you, Dulcamara ...

[Annabelle]

I was thinking about a walkthrough for all the Elodea ages but since Dulcamara is endlessly reworking on her ages, it would be too tedious.

For example, I thought I knew Tunnelgang by heart, but since September, it's a completely new age...

[gchaser]

What can I say, but WOW again! Thank you for these great nudges/hints/spoilers/helps/assists !!!

[gchaser]

Dulcamara, I tried to send you a PM but it is still sitting in my "outbox" for 2 days now, so here is my hint question:

I apologize if this is a duplicate message to you, but I need help with the 2nd cloth. Your hints said to swim around the island into a cave, climb a ladder - then down another ladder to the grotto and cloth #2. But I don't know if I am in the right cave....I'm in the one with the large face in the ceiling, and the large stone stairs (broken in the middle) in the lagoon.
