items before she will agree to sell you the essence. Click on the little statue 
on the pedestal. She wants amber glow, an object of iron and a tree root. You 
should have the amber glow and the object of iron at this time. Give her these 
items. You will get the tree root later. Go back to the main corridor with the 
door. Click on the door and kill the spriggan with your hammer. Go forward, but 
do not take the first corridor to the left that you come to, you cannot do 
anything there yet. Keep going forward until the passageway dead ends into the 
next intersection. Kill the bat manta with your hammer and go left. Kill the 
rock demon with your hammer and go down to another rock demon. Kill it with your 
hammer and go on down this road. Go in this first right turn and kill the bat 
manta with your hammer. Go forward and climb the wall with your grapnel. Go 
forward and kill two bat mantas with your hammer. Go left and you will find a 
chamber that has a root in it coming out of the wall. Kill the 3 bat mantas with 
your hammer and chop off the root and put it in your inventory. Climb down the 
wall with your grapnel and go left up the ramp. Go forward and go down a long 
path at another left turn Keep going forward after killing two rock demons with 
your hammer on the way. Go forward into the room that has a wall. Use your 
grapnel to climb up. You are in a square room with a large boulder in a circular 
depression that has a smaller circular hole in the floor. Notice the passageway 
at the left, that is a shortcut to the teleport pad. Ignore it for later. Push 
the boulder into the hole and jump down on top of it. Push the large boulder 
down the circular hall to a corridor that goes down. Follow the boulder down the 
ramp and notice the previously bricked-up door is now open. On the wall is a 
wall sconce. Put the crystal shard into the sconce. The shard will glow and the 
area will power up lighting the entire area with an electrical blue light. 
Follow the now open corridor and you will be facing a dragon wyrm. Save your 
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 NNW2XN2X. Turn around. 
NWW4XE3XE5XE2XNE5XW. 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.
