game. Take out your hammer and attack the wyrm. After it's dead, get the black
diamond heart and go forward. An animated cut-scene with the old man now starts.
The old man turns to a young man, who talks about restoring faith and then
disappears. Go left into the chamber of enlightenment. There is a pedestal with
a clear crystal triangle of the same shape and size as the dark purple one
you've got. Click on the triangle shaped stone switch to the right and an
animated cut-scene message from the old man's people will result. Take the clear
pyramid and put it in your inventory. Place the dark purple pyramid on the
pedestal and listen to another animated cut-scene with lucreto. Take the dark
pyramid and the lodestone from the high pedestal. Go back to the corridor that
leads off to the left just beyond the door where you found the lock. Go down
this corridor and kill two bat mantas with your hammer on the way. Save your
game. The corridor has large boulders and you will need to time your movement
across. Continue to the left after the boulders and kill a rock demon with your
hammer on the way. Click on the door and you will meet the sage gnome and his
celestial device. Talk to the sage until he tells you that he needs a lodestone
to trick your magic map into taking you to another location. This new location
is in the barren region. Give the sage gnome the loadstone and the gnome alters
your map. Go to the apothecary gnome and give her the tree root. Click on your
gold then click on the shopkeeper. Go back to the circular depression room and
go in the left room. Kill the two zombies with your hammer and push the wall
stone. A door will open. Go right and use the grapnel to climb down the cliff.
Go to the teleporter pad and teleport to the barren region.
The Barren Region
You will need to save your game often here because you will quickly get sick of
jumping lava pools and hearing your screams as you die in the fires. Use your
bow to kill pyro demons as they emerge from the lava. Also use your hammer to
kill the fire ants for one healing crystal per ant. Collect all the healing
crystals near the location where you arrived and anywhere else they are lying on
the ground. Do not even touch the lava near the shore, as it will kill you. Just
west of where you are is a bridge. Cross the bridge and go north. You will find
the weirdling village comprised of two huts. The hut on your right is the
weapon's smith who is selling weapons, but will also tell you a tale of the
basilisk. The weapon's smith will tell you that you need a shaft and a black
diamond to make a weapon. You have the diamond, so give it to him. Ignore the
two bows and the battle-axe, because they are worthless. When you leave the hut,
you will see the healer hut across you, ignore that also. Go forward past the
hut and go a bit to the right. Go up the mountain path across the bridge and
click on the hill dwarf who is blowing the horn. He will tell you about the
missing stone. Go back down the mountain to the bottom and go left around toward
the bridge. Save your game before walking onto the bridge. When you step on
seven of the blocks, they will be revealed as metal with symbols on the top and
they will no longer go down into the lava. The metal blocks have symbols that
represent numbers. If you have the blocks in the correct order the blocks will
sound a drum for the correct number of beats corresponding to the prime number.
Do the following to get across: (Go N\NW2X\N2X. Turn around.
NW\W4X\E3X\E5X\E2X\N\E5X\W. Jump back 2 blocks then west) Once the last metal
block chimes, a row straight up the middle will form to the other side. The
bridge is now safe. Go north and east through the lava geysers. Do not get too
close since the lava spray will damage you. Keep going north across the field
until you can turn left and up the hill to a pyramid with a ramp. At the top of
the pyramid take the fire gem and you will meet lucreto in a vision. Later, go
down the path and head around to the west until you come to a group of broken
bridges in the lava. Save your game. Be the camera and walk. Jump from one
bridge to the next, saving your game after each successful jump and killing the
pyro demons as they emerge from the lava with your crossbow until you reach the
tower. Climb the tower with your grapnel and save the game. Step out onto the
colorful platform and notice that seven gongs will turn to face you. Shoot the
gongs in the correct order which is the colors of the rainbow: red, orange,
yellow, green, light blue, dark blue and purple. Shoot the red gong first just
behind the stone straight ahead and the small bridge will start to build. When
you shoot the correct gong it glow's its color and makes a musical note. Shoot
the orange gong on the middle left. Shoot the yellow gong witch is the first one
on the back right. Shoot the green gong on the last right. Shoot the blue gong
witch is the first one on the back left. Shoot the dark blue gong on the last
left. Shoot the purple gong on the middle right. When the bridge has formed,
take the stone of order. Climb down the tower. If you feel like taking the risk,
a bridge goes off to the left and has many healing crystals. Go get them. Save
your game and continue the process of jumping and saving until you are out of
the lava. Be Connor's eyes and run. Return to the hill dwarves to give them back
their stone of order. Go in the shop next of you. The hill dwarf smith will make
you the shaft for the pike and all the dwarves will honor you. Go to the
weirdling smith shopkeeper and give him the shaft and the gold. He will take the
shaft and make you a pike to kill the basilisk. Leave the hut and go forward
past the huts until you see two roads. Take the left road until you come to, yes
you guessed it, another lava pool with rocks in it. Save your game and turn a
bit left. Be the camera and walk. Jump from rock to rock until you reach the
vertical cliff that rises above the back of the basilisk. Use your grapnel and
climb the tower. On the top take out your pike. Go down on the basilisk and an
animated cut-scene will show you killing the beast. Cut off the tongue with your
fist and put it in your inventory. Be Connor's eyes and run. Move across the
bridge that goes left from the dead basilisk area. Kill two pyro demons with
your crossbow. Go right around the building and use your grapnel to climb to the
roof of another tomb. Go down the hole in the roof. Notice the pattern of four
symbols on the walls and the direction of the arrows below them. The correct
order of the symbols is the weird sideways smiley face, triangle, circle and
square. Get the sword from the sarcophagus. Push the symbols around the
sarcophagus in the correct order and go to where the secret door opened and
retrieve the newest suit of armor for this level. Click on two of the small
walls to get two potions. Click on the dead warrior and a key will drop on the
ground. Pick up the key. Go back near the huts and go right. Go straight ahead
and go left. Cross the path at the lava and kill two pyro demons with your bow.
Go left until you find the fire dwarf area. Kill the two bow-men with your
crossbow and take one of they're bow and the stuff they dropped. Open the door
with the key and kill another bow-men with your crossbow. Follow the ramp around
until you find the area with three buttons, three ramps and three doors. Kill
the two dwarves with the bow. Use the bow to fire at the buttons and extend all
the ramps. Enter the first door on your left. Click on the switch on the wall
and release the snow queen prisoner. An animated sequence will ensue where she
opens a secret door and runs off. Get the steam valve cap from the cell on the
left. Enter the secret room and kill the fire dwarf with your sword. There is a
wall safe on the wall with a symbol lock. Press the symbols in the same order as
in the crypt and the safe will open. Get the steam valve cap from the safe and
save your game. Exit the room and enter the middle room and click on the chest
to retrieve the next piece of the mask of eternity. One of lucreto's henchmen
will attack you in a fight to the death. Take the potions. Exit the room and
enter the third room on the left. Kill the fire dwarf with your sword. Put one
pipe cap on one of the pipes and get on the elevator platform. Shoot the wall
button with your fire bow. You may need to change the camera angle with your
mouse to fire the bow at the button on the wall. When you arrive at the second
level get the ice queen's scepter and a potion. Get back on the pad and shoot
the wall button again with your bow. You will appear on level one. Put the
second steam cap on the other pipe and fire the bow at the button and you will
travel to the frozen reaches.
The Frozen Reaches
Save your game. On this level are mundane monsters, frost demons, gryphs and ice
orcs. Kill all of these from long range with your bow. When you get damaged, use
the healing crystals. Special monsters on this level are the invisible snow-mane
and a two-headed dragon. Cross your way to the ice palace and click on the ice
queen. Give the ice scepter to the ice queen. The queen will inform you that the
scepter controls the ice dragon found in the east which can carry you across the
ice-lake. The queen will tell you to keep the scepter and implores you to save
the king of the gryphs from the icelord who has imprisoned him in the keep. Go
left just a bit and you will find a gryph who has grabbed an ice maiden. An
animated sequence will ensue followed by a battle with the gryph. Next to the
gryph is a portal to the previous realms. Go left and you will find the ice
dragon, but the switch to the shutters is broken. Push the ice block under the
broken chain on the roof and jump on the block. Once on top of the block, pull
the chain to open the door. Use the ice scepter on the ice dragon. The dragon
will fly you over the ice lake where it will remain until you need passage back.
Turn right and go forward. Work your way to the far north of the map. On your
way there, you will be attacked by frost demons. Shoot them with your fire bow
and continue forward. You will be attacked by the invisible snow-mane. Use a
reveal potion and kill the beast with your sword. Once the beast is dead, go
forward to the ice-lake. Use your rock on the ice three times to crack it up.
Then take the fire ruby and click it on the ice. Click on the flaming sword and
it will replace the sword in your inventory. Go east until you find a tower
guarded by two ice orcs. Kill them from the distance with your fire bow. Climb
the tower with your grapnel and go through the other opening. Click on the lever
on your left and go though the trap floor. Break the barrels with your fire bow
and take the healing stuff on the ground and in the chest. Click on the lever on
the door and go down the path from the tower. Another tower is guarded by two
more ice orcs. Go down the path on your left and go through the right path on
your right. Kill the frost demons with your fire bow. Now go forward a bit and
you will see another ramp on your right. Go up that snow ramp in front until you
reach the second tower. Kill the two ice orcs with your sword. Enter the tower
on the right and take more healing stuff after breaking the barrels with your
sword. Leave the tower and go down the path and go up the second snow ramp on
your left. This is the icelord's fortress behind a lake. While you are here kill
both of the two ice orcs with your fire bow. Go in the small room on your right
and get more healing stuff after breaking the barrels with your sword. Leave and
go around the lake to the fortress sticking to the wall. Work your way around
the right side of the fortress and use your grapnel to climb up to the roof.
Click on the grating in the roof and an animated cut-scene will begin showing
lucreto ordering the icelord to kill you and the icelord ordering his general to
go out and find you. Go forward to the cells and meet the gryph king. Go to the
front of the castle and go off on top of the ice orc who has now moved to
protect the front of the fortress. Get the key that the ice orc dropped and go
around the right side and climb up to the roof again and free the gryph king.
Save your game. As you walk out of the cell, an animated cut-scene will start.
An ice orc will jump on you from above and knock both of you through the grating
into the throne room. You will confront the icelord and when control returns,
you will battle him to the death. The chest next to the icelord's throne
contains a blue medallion that helps decipher ancient writing. Pick up the large
ice rod that is on the floor near the grating. Go to the front door and pick up
the rock on your left as you past by. Go to the door and click on it. Click on
the gap between the door floor. Put the ice rod down in the gap. Use the sword
to melt the ice rod into a pool of water and pick up your new ice crossbow. Use
the ice crossbow to freeze the water into a long thin rod. Pick up the rod and
return to the throne. Save your game. Put the rod into the slot of the locked
jail door. Enter the small room and another cut-scene will show you hitting the
statue. You open the chest to find the next mask piece. Then the pieces of the
broken ice statue reform into one of lucreto's henchmen who attack's you. Kill
the henchman. Once the henchman is dead, go back to the ice dragon and fly back
to the south side of the lake. Go all the way to the north and speak with the
gryph king 2X in his palace. The gryph king will give you a blue adamant
gemstone. Return to the icelord's fortress and go on the right side and climb
the wall of the building to get on the roof. Enter the cell room. Place the
basilisk tongue, the blue adamant and the golden mushroom slice on the chair and
activate the controls to the left of the chair. This will activate a permanent
spell of strength that will increase your attack, damage and your defense
strength. Climb down the fortress with your grapnel and go around to the right
and kill the ice orc with your sword. Go right through the mountain path killing
6 ice orcs with your sword. When you're down the snow ramp, go a sharp right and
kill a frost demon with your ice crossbow. Use your blue amulet on the
gravestone. Keep going down the road killing more frost demons with your ice
crossbow. When you reach a wall, use your grapnel to climb the wall and save
your game. You now face the two-headed dragon. Equip the flaming sword and fight
the dragon by cutting off his two heads. Continue to the back of the chamber and
go down through the hole onto the blocks and move forward into the next realm.
