Terfin -------------------------- I. Earth Well when you start the game your on earth at your house. A voice will direct you to what you need to do here. when you feel comfortable with the controls goto the Gyspy and she'll ask you 7 questions. these questions will determine your stats in the game. Once you've answered those questions she'll direct you to the moongate that opened. When you get to the moongate a Gazer will appear from the moongate. This an easy battle as the Gazer is very weak on earth. Once you've dispatched the Gazer enter the moongate. II. Stonegate After stepping through the moongate you'll be treated to a FMV. Once its over you'll be Stonegate. In the room you'll find many useful items, one being a bag. (NOTE: GET EVERY BAG YOU FIND!! Bags help you carry more stuff and being that you'll find tons of stuff you'll need all the availible space you can find ^_^ ) The only way out is the stairs. While going down the stairs you'll see a book, get it its your spell book. Upon opening it you'll see that only 4 spells are availible right now and you'll need all of them to get out of here. When you come to a force field you'll see a sun picture above the opening and tw torches one on eityher side of the door. one is lit and one is unlit. Use the IGNITE spell to light the unlit torch. Going further down you'll come to a room with some ledges. On one of the ledges there is a giant rat guarding a lever. You can kill the rat with the STONE spell. Once its dead jump over and pull the lever. The door below will open, walk down and out the door. Next you'll come to a gate with a vase just beyond. Use the GUST spell to knock the vase over and open the gate. well thats 3 of the 4 spells, just 1 left ^_^. Now you'll come to a lift, grt on and it'll take you to the next room. In this room you'll see a pool and 2 statues. Near the lift you should see a wheel, turning it will drain the pool. Once thats done hop down and you should see a button. Pressing it will open the door and allow you to leave the room. After that you'll come to a room that looks normal but when you walk in will burst into flames. Use the DOUSE spell to make path to the 2 torches at the end of the room, then use the DOUSE spell again on the 2 torches to open the exit. Now just exit the room and you'll leave the tower. Once outside you'll see a pool, and some enemies in the distance. In the pool is a chest with some gold in it, but watch out for the big fish. Once you have the gold, run around and kill all the enemies. You may have noticed a cave, don't worry about it till you've killed all the enemies. Once there all dead head for the cave. In there you'll find a WurmGuard. Talk with him and he'll try to kill you. You shouldn't have to much trouble with this battle. Once you've kill him take his sword and walk in further and step on the teleporter. Its off to Britain! III. Shrine of Compassion A. Britain You appear in the Castle in Britain. First thing you need to do is talk to Lord British. Once you've done that go ahead and wander around the castle getting all the goodies you can find. You'll difinitly want to visit your room that LB had made up for you. There are many side quests here in Britain, I'll list those soon. First thing you want to do is find sarah. She's just outside the East Gate. Talking with her you find out that the Shirne of Compassion is in ruins and that if you meditate there that you might get more out of the shrine than she did. She also tells you that Mantra is MU. So armed with that knowledge its off to the Shrine! Keep heading east into the mountains and soon you'll end up at the shrine. Walk to the center and click on the altar. The shrine will ask you for the mantra. Once you enter it in, the shrine will inform you of what is needed to cleanse the shrine. You'll need the Glyph (located in Despise), the Sigil (located on the Mayor of Britain) and Mantra (which you have already). Now its off to Despise. Side note: some other things that you can do here are: Talk to Flann and get her some Serpentwyne. she's near the church. Kimberly needs you to get the Silver Serpent back. she's in the church. Hans at the light house needs you to get some unpolished gems and have them polished and placed in the 3 other lighthouses B. Despise Once you've gotten what you need from the Shrine, head back towards Britain. when you get to the intersection head north. On the way you'll see a house that is owned by your good friends Iolo and Gwenno, if you enter the house you can talk to gwenno. If you need a bow there's one in the music room. Once your done there continue on to Despise. You'll soon come to the column and right niear it will be the entrance to Despise. Go on in. Before I go any further I would like to mention that while down here you should check all barrels and boxes, for they can hold man interesting treasures. Now as your walking through Despise you'll come to a closed gate and you'll see a lever. Pull the lever to open the gate. As you walk through you'll come to a room with a door on the right. you'll hear voices through the door, if you try to open the door you'll find that its locked. Open the chest on the floor and get the key, then open the door. Inside you'll see 2 men. They'll tell you that there were 4 of them and they all came down here to find the Kirin Stone, which was broken into 4 parts, each member of the party had the location to one of the pieces. After telling you about that they also tell you the location of two of the pieces. Now you try to leave the room and you notice that the door is locked. Near the door is an unlit torch. Use the IGNITE spell to lit the torch and unlock the door. The door leads to a huge room with broken pillars. There are some potions lying around on the floor. Go on and climb up the first pillar and then jump from pillar to pillar till you get to the top. Once there you'll see a yellow stone, this is the first piece of the Kirin Stone. Once you have it go on and jump over to the next pillar with the button on it. Push the button to open the door. Through the door is a hallway that leads very big room with a pool and a fountain in the pool. On the way there you'll see a pit, now you can jump the pit and continue on to the room with the pool or you can jump into the pit and follow it to a room with a painting and a fountain. I came about this by mistake, I was stuck and I started clicking on everything and I just happened to click on a painting, not this one but a different one which I'll get to soon, and I was give a potion. Well then I started clicking on all the painting I could find. This one happens to give you a Wurmguard chest armor. Continuing on you will find some potions and then you'll see a door and a lever. Pulling the lever will open this door. You will then see that it leads to the room with the pool. In this room there is a wall mount that has water falling into a bucket, at the other end you see an altar with a bucket on its side. Take the bucket that is full of water and place it on the altar to unlock the door. Before you leave don't forget to get the yellow potion in the fountain. The door leads to a hallway with many turns in it but you'll soon come to a room with another painting in it, this is the painting I was telling you about earlier. Touch it and you will get a potion. Now go to the right and you'll see a room with a locked gate and what seems like a secret door. If you go all the way left, past the gate there is a small walkway with a lever. Pull the lever to open the gate. You may have also noticed a crooked shield on the wall. Touching it will open the secret door. Going through it you'll come to a room with a fountain and a chest. In the chest is gold and a yellow potion. In the room with the cavein, there's a blue potion. Back in the room with the gate, going through it will take you to a room with a fountain and a dead body. Near the dead body is a small scroll. Read the scroll, its a clue to one of the pieces to the Kirin stone. Go up the stairs, in the next room is a rat. Kill it then get the treasure in the chest. In the nest is a key to the door. Exit the room. The next room looks like a training room. You'll need a bow to get out. Shoot the symbol over the door to open it. In the next room there's a platform with stairs leading up to it. On the platform us a pressure plate. Before you step on the platform, take the key hanging on the wall. Stepping on the plate will reveal a secret wall. Follow the path to the end and you'll find a chest. Open the chest and you'll find a map, a key, a flask and a red potion. Take the stuff and step on the pressure plate. Now your in a room that leads to another room with spikes in the ground going up and down. watch your step and make your way to the other side. pull the lever and it will open the gate. Go through the gate and in the room you'll see a circle. Step in the circle and all the braziers will lite. get the stone from the circle and go back to the teleporter. Once you return to the room you started in leave through the door and you'll see a fireplace, get all the goodies from the chest. Push the button to open the door, and walk through. Following the hallway you'll come to some spier webs. 2 hits with the sword will get rid of them. Kill the spider and walk up the stairs. remove the spider web and kill the rat. There's a fountain in the room and a lever. Pull the lever to make the fountain disappear. open the secret door and push the button to open the gate. Before you leave get the stuff from the top of the platform. The next room has a fence in it with a lever on the other side of it. move the barrels, one on each side of the fence. climb the barrels and jump to the other side. pull the lever and then climb and jump back. gett he key for the water in the corner. now the next room is a small church. the last pew has a key on it. if you light all the torches and the candles on the altar you'll get a holy light that will heal you. In this room you much QUICKLY pull the lever to save the man in the trap. he'll give you the green Kirin stone. Continuing on you see a partially open gate with a key on a table and a room with a strange orb. push the button on the orb to make the key slide to you. get the key and continue on. In this room you'll see 4 pedestals, each with a different color on the top. go ahead and put all the Kirin stones that you have on the proper pedestal. Now read the book to open the cave. as you walk into the cave you'll have to swim the rest of the way. in the cave pull the lever under the water to reveal the last Kirin stone. take it back to the other room and place it on the pedestal. now you'll be able to get the Kirin shield. take it and go back to the room where you got the red stone. now leave through the opening and you'll see a bridge. on the other side of the bridge you'll see the column and a WurmGuard. chat with him and soon he'll attack. if you wound him you'll find out that its your old friend Iolo. trust him. he'll let you get the glyph. get it and then backtrack to the opening of Depise. When you step out you'll be treated to a FMV. C. Paws Well now that you have the Glyph all you need is the Heart of Compassion. Well it seems that the mayor has it but he's no in town... He's gone of to paws in search of his daughter. To get to Paws you'll have to go all the way south and then west. (thats the sw corner of Britain). On the way there you'll meet a blind women. talk to her for some knowledge. Also you'll see a farmhouse and barn on fire. Use DOUSE on the fire to save the boy. he'll tell you that his mother was taken by some bandits into the mountains. if you look up you'll see a bridge, that where the mother is. Now further down the trail is a Troll and a bridge. This isn't the brightest troll... when he asks for 10 gold piece, ask him how much that is... now go over the bridge and you'll soon be in Paws. You'll come to a bridge made out of planks and boxes. walk over it to the house and you'll find the mayor. he'll get attacked by a rat and a pegleg will save him. now talk to the mayor and he'll ask you to save his daughter. doing so will yield you the heart. now the daughter is in the SE of paws. if you walk out the back door and follow the bridges you'll find her. there are only about 4 house in the town. don't fall into the swap as it will poison you. if you find the windmill and talk to the lady she'll tell you that theres no fresh water because the water pump is missing a valve. you'll need to talk to nimrod, who will tlll you that the valve was lost near the troll witht he bridge..actually its in the cave near the troll. Now once you find the daughter and dispatch all the trolls go talk with the mayor and ask him for the heart. Which he'll gladly give to you. Now its time to fix the shrine!! Oh BTW if you decide to find the boys mother watch that fight as the head thief is pretty tough, although this is yield much gold. as there is a cave across the bridge that has all there treasure in it. now back to the shrine. Once you get back place the Glyph and the Sigil on the broken altar. now speak the mantra and watch the cool effects! Now that the shrine is cleansed you'll gain a level and get to raise a stat. also you've opened the First Cirlce of magic. go bind all those scrolls that you have. Now once you have sold all the stuff that you want and bought all the stuff that you need. Binded all the magic that you have. and are ready to continue, take the rune to the dock and show it to Raven. Enjoy the boat ride ^_^. IV. Shrine of Humility A. Buccaneer's Den When you get there Raven will tell you that you need to talk to her employer Samhayne. Jump off the ship and head towards the houses on the hill. you'll get stopped by some pirates, go ahead and give them some gold. Climb the stairs and talk to Keagan the map maker. Once you've done that he out and down the stairs to the dock, now continue around to the ferry. You can take the ferry or you can swim (i find it easier to swim) on the other side enter the Tavern then climb the stairs and leave from the upper door. Now take th life and follow the trail to the blue house. This is where Samhayne lives. Upon entering he'll introduce himself. Talk with him and you'll find out that he has the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom and he'll give it to you if you solve the problem with the whirlpools. He also tell you that a woman in New Magincia has more information then he does. So now its off to New Magincia. Keagan the mapmaker knows how to get there, so head back that way. Talking to him he tells you that you can take a boat but that there is a tunnel that links Buccaneer's Den and New Magincia. But that you'll need a password or you'll end up running in circles. To get the password leave the mapmaker and follow the deck to the left till you find the pirate woman selling the slave. theres a house near her that has a chest in it. In the chest are some jewels and a scroll. read the scroll to get the password, which is KEELHAUL. Now the tunnel is by the lighthouse on the eastern tip of hte southern island. So head for samhayne's house but follow the path till it forks. Take the right path and soon you'll come to the tunnel opening. Enter the tunnel and you'll soon find yourself being asked for a password. Go ahead and enter it in. Now the correct was is fades in. Continue through the tunnel getting all the goodies. B. New Magincia Soon you'll find yourself in New Magincia. You'll want to get to the top of the mountain. On the way up you might be attacked my vultures and wolves. The wolves are easy to kill but those vultures can really mess you up quickly. Once your at the top look for Katrina. She'll tell you the Mantra for the Shire of Humility, which is LUM, and she'll also tell you that she has the sigil. But she wants you to do her a favor. She needs you to get rid of the wolves and the vultures. Both are now hard to do. To get rid of the vultures, go back the way you came till you see a tree on a mini hill. Climb to the top and use the IGNITE spell you burn the nest. Now for the wolves, jump down then jump off the cliff into the water swim to the island next to you and climb out. In the broken dome is the Alpha wolf. Kill her and the rest of the pack will leave. Once both of those are done, go back to Katrina and she'll give you the sigil. Now you need to circle around her dome till you see a crumbling wall. At the end of it is a cliff, walk forward and look down. You'll see a bit of land jut out from the mountain, with a rock platform on it. Jump down there and step on the platform then jump in the water and swim for the shrine. Say the mantra and watch the FMV. C. Ambrosia Well now your in Ambrosia, the gargoyle city. Watch what you say because they tick off very easily. Talk to the gargoyle that pleaded with you not to kill him. Head south and drop to the floor, run southeast then west till you find the dead gargoyle. Get the levitate boots. Next you have to find Wislem's workshop. Only he knows the way to Hythloth. But he won't tell you till you activate the queen's statue. So he'll give you the power cube to fix it. Walk out, turn west and look up. That the queen's statue. When you place the power cube in the statue, the whole place comes falling down. Talk to Wislem again and he'll tell you that you need to get one of the Queen's Eggs and give it to Vasagralem. You'll need 2 objects to enter the Queen's Chamber. The Queen's Power Cube and the Amulet of Singularity. First go back to Wislem's Workshop and place the crystal he gave you in the holder to get the Power Cube. Note: where you talk to Wislem, is right next to his workshop. Now walk out and head towards the place witht he floating orb. goto the Lower entrance. Read the books, and get the power cube. Now goto the Upper entrance and place the power cube that you got in the lower one to get the Amulet. Now head for the Queen's Statue and the force field will be gone. Enter and place the Queen's Power Cube and the floor will open. Now you can either kill the queen or not, just as long as you get a queen egg, which she happens to be sitting on. Exit the room from the north once you have an egg. Get the potions the go right and get all the goodies. Head back and and exit through the teleporter. You'll end up in Hythloth. D. Hythloth You appear in a cave partially filled with water. As your running you'll pass a pipe with a grate and a chest. And another one with stairs. Go up the stairs. It seems your in a sewer pipe. At the crossroad head east into the room. Use 2 ignites to burn through the web. Turn the wheel to lower the lift in another room. Now push the block of wood on the wall to lower the secret wall. Get the goodies in the chest, especially the Green statue. Now head the other way to the big room filled with slimewater. Swimming in here will poison you. Facing west the left side has the swamp boots and the right side has a chest with a light scroll in it and a nightshade on the bones. In the slime are some really nasty fish. Once you have the boots, ride the lift. Pull the lever and go back down. Take note of the yellow altar up there. Head back to the crossroad face north and go through the open gate. At the crossroad go east, the gates will close. There are some chain leggings on the grate in the middle of the room. Get them and the walls will start to close in on you. Wait and the doors will open. Head east, at the crossroad head south. Cut the web and turn the wheel. Now head north then east through the next room. In this room you'll see some pillars. Looks easy huh? well when you jump on one others go down. Here's a picture of what it looks like, and whcih ones to take. Facing East Altar 13 9 10 11 12 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 The correct path is 1-5-10-7-8-11-13 Once you make it to the other side. Turn both wheels and place the Green statue on the Green altar. Now go through the gate you opened. In the chest is a yellow potion and a red potion and some gold. Now keep heading west through the room with the walls that moved till you can't go west anymore. In this room is a hole, Fall in and swim to the bottom. Get the red statue and then turn the wheel. Swim out and the go back to the crossroad. Turn north and head through the door.

Go right at the crossroad, then left at the next one and then right at the next one. Now swim to the lift. Place the Yellow statue on the Yellow altar. Now head back to the crossroad then head north till you can't go north anymore. Turn left, at the crossroad. Now if you look left you'll see a binding circle, go ahead and bind any spells that you can. If you look right you'll see a blue altar. Straight ahead is a long hallway. Now go right and place the Blue statue on the Blue altar. An arrow will hit you as you enter the room. Now leave and turn right. head down the hall. At the end is a Wurm Guard. After you kill him the room you'll enter is hugh. you'll see slimewater and platforms in the water. on the left and right side are some steps built into the walls. you cen get the treasures up there if you want but watch out for the fish. Use your bow and arrows to kill them. Make your way to the other end of the room. You'll have to enter the column from under the water facing south. So swim around to the other side. Get the Glyph and leave the room. Follow the hall east till you get to the room where the Yellow statue was. Turn the wheel and leave the room from the bottom doorway. Now go down the hallway near where the Blue statue was. This part is a little funky. The walls are transparent. really neat effect ^_^. Head north, east, north. In the middle of the hall way is a door to the east. go through it and you'll see a chest. In the chest is another statue, leave it. Behind the chest is a key but you'll have to go left or right to get it. Once you have the key leave the room and find the chest. Open it and pull the lever. Now leave through the gate you just opened. Well looks like someone left a teleporter here, just our luck ^_^. Take it. Now swim down and soon you'll find another hole (look up) swim through the hole to the shrine. Place the Glyph and Sigil on the shrine, say the mantra (LUM) and watch the fireworks ^_^. Congrats you cleansed the shrine!! Now go talk to Katrina and head back to Buccaneer's Den via the tunnel. Once you make it back there go see Samhayne for your reward. Once you get to his house, you'll be treated to a FMV. V. Shrine of Honesty A. Deceit Now your in a cell, there's a secret door in the cell. Open the secret door and walk to the end of the hall. In this room is a spider on a stone block. This is a statue of a Phase Spider. Touching it will make all the doors phase... execpt for wooden doors. Now run back to the cell and exit. Puch the button on your cell to open the door, then push the button on the other cell to open it also. Run back tothe spider and touch it. Then go back the main hall and get the key off the table. Once again run back to the spider. Back in the main hall unlock the wooden door, then walk through the gate and push the button to open it. Touch the spider one last time. Before you go through the wooden door for the last time get the 2 yellow potions in the other cell and the bag on the barrels around the corner. Now go through the wooden door and the gate. In this room is a cavein, but there is a secret door in here also. Open in and go through, DO NOT TOUCH THE CHEST!!!!!!!!!!!! its a mimic!!! Push the button and then touch the braizer. The statues will start to move. Wait till the ones near the door face each other then open the door. Whew, well that wasn't too hard now was it. On to the next phase of this nasty dungeon. At the end of the hall you can only go left or right. Going left will take you to a HUGE room with lava and no way to cross it. So go right, in this small room are 3 pedastals. Pusht he red button to make a transparent bridge appear over the lava, next push the blue button to get a yellow potion. Lastly push the green button to make a skeleton appear and attack you. When you kill the skeleton take its sword. Now goto the room with the lava. I hope your ready to ahve some fun ^_^. to the platform and push the blue button, then push the purple button. Walk the bridge and then ride the lift. The statue that you pass will shoot fireballs at you. At the other platform you'll see several rows of buttons. Press the buttons till you make a set of stairs rise out of the lava. Now climb the stairs and ride the lift to the center platform. Before you get to the platform you need to push the green button on the side of the platform. Once you get to the platform get the yellow potion then press the green button. Ride the lift to the starting platform. Now ride the other lift to the next platform. When you get the platform the lift will go back to the starting platform. Don't worry you can call it back. If you look at the stairs you'll see a sun face, just like the one behind you on the wall. On the wall next to you are some buttons, 2 diamond ones and 3 circle ones, press the diamond ones to turn the statue about a quarter turn and the circle buttons about half of that. Blue turns towards that stairs and Green turns towards the wall. Once you have the sun face on the stairs lined up press the red button to fire a ball at it. When you hit the face the forcefield on the teleporter on the center platform will disappear. Now turn the statue 180 degrees and shoot the face to make the lift return to you. You need to return to the center platform. Enter teleporter. You'll appear in another HUGE room with more lava. Near you is a globe holder. Go to the right and at the end of the walkway you'll see the glyph, which will disappear as you get closer, now push the button and then jump over to the platform. The trick here is to line up the sun block, with the help of the of the buttons on the table, and the statue. Be careful, the little statues will shoot fireballs at you. You'll need to touch the big statue to make it shoot. When you hit the sun face a lift will appear. Ride the lift and enter the teleporter. You'll be taken to a small room. Jump down near the table and touch the mirror, it will fully heal you. Touch the table to recieve a bow, then run to the other side of the room and touch the statue to make some arrows appear on the pedastal. Now shoot the sun face on the wall to make some stairs appear. Climb the stairs to the top and stand on the pressure plate. A sun face will appear on the opposite wall. Shoot that face to make a plank appear and quickly run across. Now enter the teleporter, then ride the lift back to the walkway. Now use the bow to shoot the sun face on the wall to extend the bridge. Jump over and turn the wheel to make the lava lower and expose the other holders and headstones. Now some real fun begins. There are 4 holders and 4 globes that you need to get. 3 of them are in other rooms that you can access by teleporters, the 4th one is in this room. Up near the 3 statues there is a headstone and a chest. Make your way there and touch the headstone, now quickly open the chest and get the red globe. On the ground is a globe holder, put the red globe there and a lift will appear. This lift will take you to the walkway. ride the lift to the top and run back to where the sunface block was. Now drop down and go into the cave back there. Enter the teleporter. you'll appear in a room with 2 statues and 2 chests, yes the chests are mimics. Now near the statues you'll notice that the floor is different, go stand there and face the chests. On the wall a sunface will appear and be moving, take your bow and hit it several times. On the stone block a blue globe will appear. take it and enter the teleporter. Now make your way to where the lift that takes you up is. Touch the head stone near there and head for the teleporter that took you to the room where you got the bow. On the way there you'll see another holder stop there and put tyhe blue globe there. Then touch the headstone and run for the platform where the teleporter is. you'll need to go around it on the left to find the teleporter that takes you to get the green globe. Once you enter the teleporter you'll be in a room with a stone block and a chest, yes a real chest. Push the button on the pedastal and a sunface will appear on the wall you need to shoot it with your bow, after you hit the face it'll jump to a different wall. Keep doing this till another symbol appears on the wall. Shooting this will make the green globe appear. Take the orb and head for the teleporter. Touch the head stone and run for the blue globe holder. Touch the headstone there and head for the main room. Touch the headstone there and head for the room straight ahead. Put the green globe in the holder and enter the teleporter. This room is a maze, but its not difficult. Find the red button and press it. A sun face will appear over the chest. Shooting it will make it move, find it and shoot it again. Once again it will move, shooting it this time will make the yellow orb appear. Don't forget to get the potions outta the chest. Get the yellow orb and enter the teleporter. Now touch the head stone and run for the main room. Take the lift up and place the yellow globe in the holder. Now that the bridge is fully extended walk to the platform. You might want to save the game as your about to get into a fight. Enter the teleporter. You'll appear in the biggest room in this dungeon. In the distant you can see the column. An animation will take over and you'll see a wurm guard sent her pet over to have you for lunch. Hehe, you get to fight a hellhound... I was using the warhammer and it only took one hit to kill it. Once you've kill the hound, stones will appear and make a path to the wurm guard. When you reach her she'll have something to say about killing her pet. Your probably going... I know her from somewhere... well its your old friend Mariah. Yes the Guardian has take over her too. She'll make 2 images of herself. ONLY KILL THE IMAGES!! They are the ones with the shields and swords. After you kill them just run around and wait for the lift to appear. Once the lift appears ride it to the column. Get the glyph and take the lift to the teleporter. Enter the teleporter and you'll be taken to another part of the dungeon. Press the red button on the wall to make the cavein illusion disappear. Run the other way till you reach the outside. Now pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Now on to Moonglow. B. Moonglow Well now as you walk out of the dungeon you'll see a note with a knife in it on the entranceway. Its from raven telling you that she'll meet you at the docks. You'll also be stopped by Duncan, a fighter that has lost his dagger and was told that you have it. Get all the info you need form him and don;t forget to tell him that you'll look for his dagger too. Now head for the fire across the water. Up the stairs is the path the Moonglow. When you enter the town you'll want to visit all the homes. At the North agte, which is the one your about to enter, is a boy that will tell you that his father is hurt. Its a lie, and he'll lie to you 2 more times then tell you the truth. Always believe him and you'll be rewarded with some scrolls in the end. His father will want his Journal, which is in a small shack near the docks. anyways, after you enter the town head for the 3 house on the left. This house belongs to Batista. She has the sigil and will give it to you if you will get a shield that she says belongs to her but is being kept by your old friend Mariah. Tell her you'll give her the shield. Mariah's house the the first house on the left. Its also the only one with floating discs inside the house. The room on the left has a trapdoor in the floor, open it and step on the teleporter. Now this room has 3 doors in it, one leads to the shield and the other 2, which are secret, lead to pressure plates that will let you get the shield. The secret doors are to the left and right of the main door. Move the barrels and open the doors. Inside you'll need to put a barrel on the pressure plate. Now when you get the shield, Mariah will have a little conversation with you. And she'll teach you the Restoration Ritual!! Aren't you glad you didn't kill her now!! ^_^. Now take the shield back to Batista and get the sigil. NOw you need to visit Tydus's house. It's the first house on the right near the north gate. He'll tell you that he'll tell you where the lyceaum is if you'll get him the staff of wisdom. He'll tell you that its in a cave to the south. And that it has a statue infront of it. Go through the south gate and turn left. Follow the path and you'll reach the cave. When you enter the cave you'll only find 2 thieves and no staff. Near the cave is a broken boat with a thief and chest. Kill the thief and open the chest with the key lying right next to it. The chest contains magical armor. Go back to Tydus and he'll tell you that he made a mistake, that the staff is in a cave to the north. Go through the north gate and turn left. Follow the path and you'll reach a cave with a gen in a stone. When you enter the cave the entrance will seal itself. Watch out because the statues will shoot fireballs. As you go further in the cave you'll come upon a room with a demon that will explain to you that Tydus summoned it to guard the heartstone, which is the source of Tydus's power. He'll also tell you that if you enter the lair unarmed he'll give it to you. Go ahead and agree, for if you fight him you will lose. Now drop your weapons and take the heartstone, then pick them back up and enter the teleporter. I never found the key to the chests in there so if you happen to find it email me and I'll add it to the walkthru. Now when you go back to Tydus, confront him with the heartstone and he'll try and lie his way out. But in the end he'll make the lyceaum appear. Now push the blue button on the wall to make the lift come down. ride the lift to the top then hop in the sail and ride it to the opening in the lyceaum. Up there the oracle will tell you that to find the mantra you need to look in the heavens when the town is sleeping. The mantra for the shrine is AHM. Now you will need to goto the lyceaum because you need to get the book of truth. Touch the book and it will ask you if your the reason for all the destruction. Answer yes and it will let you take the book. Now that you have the Mantra, Sigil and Glyph its time to head for the shrine. On your way out the south gate, be sure to stop by the house next to Batista and the Magic shop. In the house is a girl that will explain karma. In the magic shop are 4 globes. Touch all 4 and a magic lift will appear. Enter the lift and it will take you to a store room with many yellow potions. Take as many as you want. Now head out the south gate, over the bridge and around the graveyard. You'll see a cave near the graveyard, inside you'll find some goblins. And a binding circle, just kill the goblin and touch the blue globe to open the door. Inside is a fountain that will heal you a little with each drink. Head up and out of the cave, follow the path and you'll come to the shrine. Once you've cleansed the shrine, you might want to perform the newly learned ritual of restoration. After your done head for the docks, you'll see Raven's ship. Hop aboard and talk to her. Go ahead and trust her, she'll give you back your backpack with all your stuff intact. She'll give you a choice of where to go. I chose to goto Minoc. **Bonus - the two chests in the demon's cave are locked here are the location of the keys. "One key is in the mouth of the head stone on the wall (which would explain the licking sounds) and the other is behind a barrel in the room. Only found some chain mail armor in both chests." - "Robert Lis" VI. Shrine of Sacrifice A. Cove/Minoc When you get to Cove talk to Irene, she's the shopkeeper. Next walk across the bridge and go see Raxos in the house with the guards around it. Talking to him only yields information. Next to the house is the prison. Nico from Britain is being held captive. After talking with him go talk to Raxos again. Make him fight you, after killing him get the key to the prison. Once you save Nico he'll teach you the ritual of return and give you the orb of the moons. Near there is a house with a ghost in it. Her name is Dayla, and she'll give you more info about what happened here. Now if you talk to her long enough she'll tell you that she has lost her dolly and that she wants it back. Thats about it for cove. As you leave the house up over the small hill are some gypsies around a campfire. With them is Blackthorne. Now when you get close enough an Animation will take over. After it is done You'll want to talk to the Lazlo. He wants you to get the Blackrock Crystal Ball for him in exchange for the Sigil and the blue lens. If you explore more you'll many more interesting people. Now the other person at the fire is Alara, she's just full of info on your friend Julia. Julia lives behind the waterfall, which is where Dayla's Dolly is. So after talking to Alara go behind the waterfall read the journal and get the dolly. Take the dolly back to Dayla...awwww don't you feel all warm and squishy inside ^_^ ...anyways back at the gypsies there is a wagon on a hill that is the home of Morganna, the old wise women, she'll tell you the mantra, CAH, and so other info. Now look into her crystal ball to see where the entrance to Covetous is. Time to enter the mines!! As you make your way to where the column is you'll see a bridge and a cave, once you cross the bridge take a left and head down the path to the water. On the right is the entrance to the mines. Just swim there and enter Covetous! B. Covetous Level 1 First things first, there are alot of undead down here. Ok when you enter the big cavern hop up on the conveyor belt and touch the cart to make it tip over. Jump up and onto the tracks, follow them to the bottom. Keep following them till you reach the lava pools. The first room on the right holds the item that you need. Get the cog and head back up to the top. When you get to the top enter the room with the wooden stair like structure. Climb to the top and turn off the machine. Now place the Cog on the machine near the smaller one and turn the machine on. Now head back downstairs. Once you get back downstairs, turn to the right and head for the propped up cart. Follow the tracks to the end. When you get there you'll see a skeleton named Lothar that is guarding the lift. He tells you that you must defeat him before you can use the life. He also tells you that a special sword must be used to kill him and that the avatar is the only person that can wield this sword...hehe lucky for you huh ^_^ ...well its off to find that sword. The sword is located in the covered river between Cove and Minoc. its easier to enter from the Cove side as the sword is closer to that side than to the Minoc side. Its on a ledge. Once you have the sword head back to the Sword Wraith. When you get back be prepared to fight, as he will fight you to the best of his ability. Once he's dead get the key to unlock the box near the lift and press the button inside. Now enter the lift and push the button for level 2. Level 2 When you arrive you'll be treated to 2 skeletons. Follow the tracks to the next room, if you keep heading north theres a room that will change into an eerie dark room. The floor will become foggy, there's an exit to the west with 2 round grates, some zombies and a green pool. Keep following the tracks till you reach the cart, touch it to breake the blockade. Continue on, at the chasm turn west and listen to the skull. Head east around the column and climb the rubble. Get the key in the box and head back to the elevator. Unlock the box and push the button, now head for level 3. Level 3 Again follow the tracks to the bridge. Right as you get to it an earthquake will trigger. On the west side of the room is a small hidden passageway. This leads to a room with a small pit with a skeleton and a blackrock. Keep following the track till it ends. Near the end you'll see a green light. That light is the light of a green pool, plus there is a helm of radiance. There is also a small passageway there too. Follow that passageway to a room, exit that room to the north, touch the powder kegs. Follow the passageway to the graveyard. The skulls grave is to the north. Place the skull on the headstone and get the key, head back to the lift and open the box. Push the button and head to the last level! Level 4 When you reach the bottom there is a cave behind you that is hidden in blackness, it holds a bladed staff. Just follow the tracks and you'll end up at a huge room filled with water. Now swim across the room following the track and getting air as you need it. You'll come to a room with the column. Now to the right is a ghost. I ran left all the way around the pool of water to get to the column. You'll be greeted by Juiia where under the Gaurdian's spell. Talked to her, but don't attack her. Then go to the pool and jump in. Swim through the opening to get the glyph. Now go back to Julia and talk to her. Now go back to the big room of water. Swim to the right.

Kill the zombies then attack the lich, if your having trouble killing him use a glass sword. Once he's dead touch the globe in the fire to open the scret door. Inside are 2 chest. A small one, which is empty and a big one which holds the black rock crystalball. Now as your leaving the room you'll notice a block thats sticking out. Touching it will open a secret door.
