fairy three times. She needs the ashes of Fird’s son.  She also wants Himus’ Book of
Alchemy. The Butterfly on glade can help you; it is the key to the book.

around. Take the phosphorus on the book shelf. Also read the spell book
to learn how to change the weather to fog, rain or lightning using the mood
statues and spells.

reports that Durad is having difficulty keeping his position of power within
the Keepers clan.

The aim of the puzzle is to have all the candles

Shadow Legion sign can only get Umang undetected for a short time and will be
not be removed. Umang agreed to
set Mila’s soul that was kept by Gugon magic free. Fird gives Mila’s amulet.
Fird lays his hand on Umang’s head to give him the sign of the Shadow Legion.

Mood statues puzzle – This puzzle is a tower
of Hanoi
puzzle. There are 5 statues stacked inside on another on the left pan.

The aim of the puzzle is to move all of them to the
right pan. You can only place a larger statue over a smaller statue.

For ease, the statues are labeled 1 -5; 1 being the
largest and 5 the smallest. Move the statue (from pan) to stated pan.

When finished no sound or action to know that it is done correctly is
noted. Go down and talk to Reina. If she is impressed, then
puzzle is done right. She will call lightning once you are ready.

and push the bottom middle button; pull lever.

Go to the Portal ruins. Go up the stairs. Place the
staff on the statue behind the ring stand.

Go back to Reina.  Click on Reina. An

Umang is at the portal. The portal appears. Michael tells Umang about the
mountain
caves and that one door opens many passages. It is up to Umang to choose who
takes which passage.

Keepers Palace – Shadow Legion’s Lair

Portal:    Umang arrives at
the Keepers portal. Look around and see a carved face on the cliff.

Way to palace:    Go forward
and further down, see that it is not safe. Go back and after passing the
second arch,
pan right and go around the portal (forward twice). To the right are vines. Climb up and
walk the cliff side, over a stone bridge and forward passing a second bridge on the
left. Look down and see a guard below.

Find the cave – Cross the stone bridge just
passed and go
left on the cliff side. The path is blocked by a rockslide. Pan right and see a space between
the rocks. Use the spyglass and study the palace. Umang sees the cave Michael
told him about.

Guard – Go back and stand behind the
statue above the guard. Save game here! Use the crowbar on the base of the statue
not the top
part. If the top part is pushed using the crowbar, it alerts the guard – game ends. The statue falls on the guard.

Go back, across the 2 bridges and down via the vines close to the portal.
Go forward to where the guard is crushed by the statue.

Cave search:    Go forward and
pick up the sword on the ground where the guard was before. Go
pass the arch and see the palace. Pan left and see a hanging skeleton. Now
that you know where the cave is located, you can access the next area.

Go forward to the rocks (now active after using the
spyglass earlier) and forward until end of the path blocked by dead trees.

Go right, up, left, right (split path here), and go left
(seems like dead end).

Pan left to see rock ledge. Go there.	Turn around to the cliff. Go to that cliff side ledge
	Climb up using the sword. Turn around and take the sword back. Turn around and go forward-up. Go forward-up again, go left and right to see vines blocking the way. Use sword to remove the vines. Go forward, forward and hear water.

	Go left, forward, forward (a bit left), left and forward to bat cave. Enter the cave.
Go forward (4xs) until the end, pan left and go up.

Entering the Lair:    Go forward
and when it gets dark, use the waterlamp. Go forward and you will be walking
the ramp on the ceiling above the marching soldiers.

Go right and look down and see a guard by the door. Go right to
the wall and enter the hole on the wall.

Go forward. Look through the window on the left and see Bargul
on his throne saying to Gugon the sorcerer that time is short in getting
to the Keepers world. He inquires about the Keepers’ lab. Umang makes a noise
and Bargul notices. Umang backs up and falls down the hatch to the dungeon.

Torture room:    Look around at the
different torture machines. Note that the guillotine is functional.

Maiden sarcophagus – Go to the iron maiden
(without nails) on the back wall.

Pan down at the base and see that the lock is similar to the drawing taken
from Fird’s table. Study drawing in the journal.

Move the buttons (left to right and top to bottom):
1 3 4 dots.

The door opens. Meet Trey, the betrayer. He is
the one that snitched on the lovers. He hopes to get rest when Mila forgives
him. Trey promises to help Umang anyway he can. He last saw Mila being taken to the vault.
He disappears.

Pick up the paper on the base of the sarcophagus.

Exit door:    See that the lock
here is also similar to that of the iron maiden. Study the now complete paper in the journal.

Move the buttons (left to right and top to bottom):

Prison:    Exit and be in a hallway
with 3 locked cages. The 2 doors flanking the torture room can not be opened.

The
middle is broken. This opens the 2 end cages.

Go to the left opened cage and
take the shackle beside the skeleton.

Go to the third cage and study the paper on the
floor. It states that Mila knows a way out of the labyrinth.

Tumbler room:    Go down the stairs at
far end of the corridor and enter through the door at right. See a hole on the floor.

Tumbler – Pan right and look at the
roll up cabinet on the wall.

See that there are 4 tumblers. The end
tumblers are movable but the 2 middle ones are not. We need to find a way to
move the middle tumblers also.

Chain – Go back to the torture room and use the shackle on the
guillotine.

Place the shackle on the table. Turn the wheel on
top right to cut the clasp off. Get a shackle.

Turn the wheel again and place the shackle on the
table again. Turn the wheel again to get chain. Go back to tumbler

Turn the last tumbler until you see the first three
tumblers have the red bar evened up.

Take the chain from the third tumbler and place it
in inventory.

4. Turn the last tumbler until the fourth red bar evens
up with the rest.

The elevator rises. Umang goes down and talks to
Trey. Trey says that there’s no living person here and Umang has to find something (not someone)
that will show the way.

Maze:    Save game here. If
you go through any entrance, you will be caught and need to go back to a saved
game.

Remember what Trey and the paper in the prison
cell stated.

Take Mila’s amulet from
inventory and pan around until it lights up. Use it as a guide to which
entrance you need to go through. Do this 4 times.

Chapel:    Go forward and see
a door at the end and one on the right. Enter the one on the right.

Trey says that Mila is somewhere nearby.

Use amulet, look
around and go close to walls. See that the amulet is active on the right wall. Use crowbar on the
wall and see Mila’s skeleton.

While in close up, use the amulet on the
skeleton. Talk to Mila. She asks how Umang can release her soul from Gugon’s
curse. She says that Gugon’s curse uses a magical orb and the orb is kept behind the
door with the spider sign.

Pick up the
stone on the bench right of Mila’s wall. Exit the room.

Watchtower stairs:    Enter through the
door at end of hallway. Turn left, climb up the tower stairs and see a gate barring the

Enter the next door on the left. Go forward passing gargoyles on the wall of
the balcony.

Mila said has Gugon’s magical orb.

Tower:    Go through the other
door at end of the chamber.

See an elevator at the center with a lever on the
floor, a door and stairs going down.

The stairs that goes up ends in a locked door on top
of a tower. The door has a cross keyhole.

Remove the guard – Go down the stairs and see
the elevator on this floor. Pull the lever on the floor and the elevator goes
down.

A guard is alerted and comes to check. As soon as
you have control of Umang, pan right and click to go upstairs.

Watch the guard enter the elevator to check.
Immediately, use the sword on the rope holding the elevator. ‘I’m sorry’.

Climb up to the top of the stairs and enter through
the door.

Watchtower:    Look around.

Go to the right and see the control panel of the
ballista: wheel to turn sideways and a directional arrow to position up-down
the ballista. It is not functional yet since we don’t know what direction to
move it to.

Climb the steps at left. Look across the parapet and
see a lit tower on the left. That’s the top of the tower we checked earlier.  Look
up and see a rope hanging down.

wheel. Turn the top right wheel so that the gauge also shows that it is to the
very left. This should lower the ballista.

Gugon’s tower – Go to the left side of the parapet and see that the
