Character Creation
At the beginning of a new game, you'll get a Dialogue box where you can choose to make your own characters – this is for the best since I think the defaults are not too great. So you will come to an extensive screen showing different traits and skills and abilities among many other things. I will give you an account of each character you ought to have in your party.
You have four prisoners in your team and each of them holds a position as follows –
1 2
3 4
Thee importance of those positions will be explained in the next section but for now, let's look at our characters –
Character 1 – Human
Position – 1
Class – Fighter
Make your basic points as follows –
Strength – 16
Dexterity – 10
Vitality – 14
Willpower – 10
Dexterity and Will power are of lesser use for a melee fighter so you ought to distribute all your points to Strength and Vitality.
Skills
Athletic
Armor
Mace or Axe or Sword
You have several skills but for this charater you ought to just use the four points you have now on One of the three weapons – Mace or Sword or Axe. I preferred a Sword. Then you have to distribute points for this character in both the Armor and Atletics department while playing the game. So you need to develop only three Skills for this guy. You will want the "Slash" power or any of the first powers you unlock by taking the weapon skill to ten points as soon as possible. Distribute all the four points to one of the Weapons itself.
You can choose two traits to your character now. You ought to choose from these only because the others are not that great.
Aggressive
Athletic (important)
Healthy (important)
Skilled
Tough
Personally I used Athletic and Healthy since you can get skill points and attack power and health by levelling inside the game itself.
Character 2 – Minotaur
Position – 2
Class – Fighter
Make your basic points as follows –
Strength – 21
Dexterity – 06
Vitality – 18
Willpower – 07
Dexterity and Will power are of lesser use for a melee fighter so you ought to distribute all your points to Strength and Vitality.
Skills
Athletic
Armor
Mace
You have several skills but for this charater you ought to just use the four points you have now on Mace. Then you have to distribute points for this character in both the Armor and Atletics department while playing the game, favour the Armor more. So you need to develop only three Skills for this guy. Put the only point he has on Mace.
You can choose two traits to your character now. You ought to choose from these only because the others are not that great.
Aggressive
Athletic (important)
Healthy (important)
Head Hunter (Very Important)
Skilled
Tough
First, take the Head hunter trait since it can grant great bonuses in the later game. Next choose any one of your choice.
Character 3 – Lizardman
Position – 3
Class – Rogue
Make your basic points as follows –
Strength – 14
Dexterity – 16
Vitality – 12
Willpower – 09
Dexterity is the most important trait for this character although you need strength and Vitality too.
Skills
Missile Weapons
Throwing Weapons
Missile and Throwing of this character whould be improved greatly since you can use him as a long range fighter since he cannot attack melee from the second row.
You can choose two traits to your character now. You ought to choose from these only because the others are not that great.
Aggressive
Athletic (important)
Agile (important)
Evasive (important)
Skilled
Tough
Make your own choices here, I took Evasive and Agile.
Character 4 – Insectoid
Position – 4
Class – Mage
Make your basic points as follows –
Strength – 10
Dexterity – 11
Vitality – 10
Willpower – 20
Will power is extremely important and you will need a bit of strength and Vitality too.
Skills
Air Magic
Earth Magic
Fire Magic
Ice Magic
Spellcraft
This is a very tricky decision to make. If you really want to excel with your Mage then you need to choose Spellcraft first and then make a choice of only two magics. I chose Ice and Air and could not use my mage till the end of level two but he becomes better this way. So just distribute the points you have now to Air Magic and later in the game you will get several spells to choose from. You charater has empty spell slots as you upgrade his magics and you can see the scrolls in the game and learn the spells but now since you are following this walkthrough, just look at the List of Spells section below and as you upgrade any of your magics, cast the spell once from the list of spells and your charater will automatically learn the spell.
Example: If you take your air magic to four points right now, you will see that at four you have
4: Spell??
It means your charater can learn a spell now corresponding to a low level air magic spell. Normally you will find a scroll in the game showin you the tile you need to select to get this spell but as soon as the game starts open your mage's magic tiles (right click on his empty hand in the lower right of the screen beside his pic) and choose the third tile on the first row which looks like a tong and chit the blue button to the right to cast the spell and your character learns it and you have a powerful spell at the beginning of the game itself.
You can choose two traits to your character now. You ought to choose from these only because the others are not that great.
Aura
Strong Mind
You can choose other if you wish. Athletic also helps on attack power.
Combat Tips and Maintaining your Team
1) The first thing you ought to know about your characters is the way weapons and items are equipped on them. Look at the bottom right of the screen and you will see the four characters according to the line up. Only the front
characters can melee attack and the two characters on the back can only do ranged attacks including casting spells. You should see a pickture of one prisoner with his two hands. You can drag anyweapon from the environment like a torch for example. Take a torch from the area around you by clicking on it and hold the button and drag the torch onto one of your character's hands and release the button. Now you have to put the weapon in the hand if you put it elsewhere on the pic then it goes into the inventory of your character. Likewise you can use shields and compass and bows and staffs and other stuff accordingly.
2) You can melee attack an enemy using only the prisoners in the front row. So make sure you have Fighter class ahead. To attack you can use a weapon which is eqipped on either of the character's hands – which hand does not matter then right click on the weapon to attack. If there is no weapon then the character can use bare hands. For Rouges or to use projectile weapons simple have them equipped and right click to project them.
3) Casting Spells with Mage –
Using magic to attack is a little bit different. Your mage has a set of nine magic symbols and each symbols and their combinations with other symbols produces a magical effect on the target. To use the symbols, just right click on the mage's empty hand or the hand with a wand or in between the hands to open the symbol tiles, it looks like this –
Click on a symbol and click on the blue button to the right to cast the spell. All buttons do not work in the beginning since you need to have to have an empty slot for learning a spell you'll get this by upgrading one of the magics air, ice, ground or fire and you can see when a new slot is open like –
Spell:??
Now you can learn a spell corresponding to the level of your magic skill. Suppose you want to learn the following ice magic spell –
You can see on the bottom that need a specific level of ice magic to be able to cast this spell. So simply upgrade your ice magic level and use the respective combination of magic symbols to cast the spell.
NOTE: You don't really need to possess a scroll to cast a spell. For instance if you have your air magic upgraded to say 10 and have an empty slot open to learn a new air magic spell but you don't have the scroll then simple read the spells list below and use the corresponding symbol combination to cast the spell – this is a very easy way to get to know all the spell combinations and you can cast high level spells without obtaining their scrolls by just uprading one type of magic to max early in the game.
4) Food, Health and Sleep
Your character's can get hungry as they travell thru the dungeons. Their hunger level is shown in their screen – click on their pics to the bottom right of the screen to open their screen.
You can gather food from various sources in the game. Some of the enemies are animals which when killed will drop food for us. You can also collect food from the world – there is an abundance of food – you just need to remeber to feed your characters regulary without letting them starve. When your characters are starving you can see the pic of a small ham on their pic itself. Your characters cannot regenerate health if they are starving.
Your health can be replenished any time by sleeping. You can make your characters sleep by opening any one of their meny and clicking on the Zzz button on top. Sleeping has no affect on time but if you sleep with enemies around, they can disturb your sleep. Sleeping replenishes health and will power at a high rate. You can also replenish your health by drinking potions – you'll know about them later in the game. You can also get your characters to full health by using a lifestone.
NOTE: The only way to bring a dead character to life is to use a lifestone which looks like this –
The lifestone will bring back all dead prisoners to life and both and dead and alive ones will get full health and willpower.
5) Attacking and Evading tactics
The thing in this game is that the enemies can attack you with melee attacks only if they are in a box adjacent to where you are standing. They cannot attack you if they are diagonal, look at the illustration below..
no yes no
yes X yes
no yes no
They cannot attack you in the no places. And you can keep moving all the time. So if you keep moving left and right and stay diagonal or one tile away from them, melle attacks cannot hurt you and they move into a position where they can attack you. You can use this to your advantage by first attacking them and moving to another box. Then when they come beside you, attack them fast and move again. This way you can avoid enemie's attacks most of the time and also this is the primary tactic in the game. Moving around tactically will save you all the time and this is needed on a high scale for even the most common enemies later in the game. Ranged attackers can attack you when they are in a straight line ahead of you. So move to the side if they are in a straight line and make your way so that you come close to them and then attack them with your melle fighters to quickly kill them. If you prefer ranged combat then its your wish.
Level 1: Into The Dark
(save the image onto your computer and you will get a the full size version of the image)
NOTE: Most of the interactable and important items are shown on the map above. No enemies are shown because I wanted to leave some suspence in the game. Minor objects are also not shown but I will mention everything in the walkthrough below so no need to worry.
No.1 (Red area)
Items list-
1) Lurker Boots
2) Shuriken
3) Peasant's Tunic and Breeches
4) Mace
Look behind you and move to the wall shown with the diamond above – it's the left of the wall which is straight ahead of you. There's a cracked brick here which looks like this –
You will find cracked bricks like this throughout the game, you ought to click on them to interact. As soon as you click on the brick, the wall opens infront of you revealing a secret room, and you will find the LURKER BOOTS and SHURIKEN (weapons – best to equip them with your rogue).
Lurker Boots: You can put these boots on any of your character and it increases the evasion skill. The evasion skill allows your character to dodge enemy attack. Enemies will attack the prisoners in the front row so you ought to equip one of them with the boots for now.
Go towards the gate (portcullis) and look to it's right to see some lithoscript – writings on wall(stone). It's a puzzle and it's asking you to pick up the torch to the left of the cullis. Click on it and place in the hands of one of your front prisoners – they can use this as a weapon when you right click on the hand which is holding the weapon. The cullis is now open, move ahead and you will come to another portcullis, use the cahin to it's right to open it and move ahead. There's PEASANT'S TUNIC and PEASANT'S BREECHES to the left near the end (shown above as a common item). Move on and you will see a MACE inside the wall ahead, it's best if your minotaur or any of the front character has this. Go to the gate and pull the lever to the right to open the cullis.
No.2 (Pink area)
Important Items list-
1) Brass Key
2) Iron Key
Shortly you will see a white pressure plate on the ground. Throw something on it to open the door, go in and pick up the BRASS KEY. Take it and move to the next place. Use your Brass Key here in the keyhole to the right of the door to open it. Turn left ahead and read the script on the wall which hints at a loose rock (hidden switch). There's a cracked rock like the one we saw in the first place where we opened the secret room. The door opens revealing an IRON KEY inside. Use this key in the keyhole beside the next door and move ahead.

Items List-
1) Leather Boots and Pants
2) Knife
3) Pitroot Bread
4) Iron key
Move ahead and look to the left and you will see a giant snail which is your first enemy.
NOTE: All enemy's in the game move at you tile by tile. So, you can actually move back while they come at you – they can only melee attack if you are in the tile adjacent to theirs – not diagonl – just adjacent. So you can move to your left or right when there's an enemy infront of you and it will haev to move into the tile to it's left or right to come into an Adjacent Tile. Now, Just attack an enemy when it come in your adjacent tile and move away before it can attack you. Keep repeating this – it is the most important tactic in the entire game.
You can attack it with melee with your front prisoners and your back prisoners can throw projectiles or cast spells. Move to where the snail was and go on, pick up the LEATHER BOOTS, LEATHER PANTS, and KNIFE. Go back and pull the lever beside the door to open it. You will face two more snails shortly, kill them again and they drop some snail food which you need so pick up everything they drop. Move ahead and go to the right path and you will soon find PITROOT BREAD. Pull the chain next to the gate, read the script on the wall. Now, if you fall into the pit, you can just come back to this area. Just throw something across the pit onto the pressure plate which closes the pit. Move ahead and pick up the IRON KEY. As you go ahead, you will come to see your first DEMON HEAD.

Go to it and read the script on the wall. Seems that the head is missing a couple of things. Turn back and go to the right, pull the lever and walk across the path where you come to snails. There are more snails behind a portcullis but just go to the left and kill the snails here. Pick up the SCROLL OF FIREBURST, LOINCLOTH and TATTERED CLOAK. Go back to where you saw the snails behind the gate and stand on the pressure plates in front of the gate. Kill the two Snails and go in. You will see a blue gem on the ground – take it and look on the wall to the right where you see a brick switch which can be pushed inside. Place something on the pressure plate in front of the gate and push the brick in and the cullis opens. Go back to the Demon's Head and place the gem in one of the eye slots. Go back and move left and be prepared for more enemies.
You will fight four Herders here, kill all of them. Go to the right side and take the TAR BREAD and pull the lever here which opens the portcullis we saw to the left as we came here. Go in and pick up the SECOND BLUE GEM. You will see a loose brick on the wall to the right here which will open a secret room just near the lever we used before.

No.5 (Yellow area)
Item List-

Kill it and pick up the LEGIONNAIRE SPEAR and LEGIONNAIRE SHIELD, now go thru the door. Go on and you will come to a Stylish Bronze Gate. You will find Brone Gates throughout each level of the dungeon – they have very powerful items behind them. I marked the two lost stones (Hidden Switch) in the map. One is to the right of the door and on part of the wall to the right of the wall opposite to the door. Click on them both and the Gate opens, pick up the WHITEWOOD WAND inside. Go on the path and you will come to a large blue glowing crystal. This is a lifestone which will revive dead characters and give everyone full health and willpower. The lifestones get active again after one minute and you can use them any number of times. Move along and pick up the SCROLL OF POISON CLOUD. Which is in the wall near the stairs. You will go down to the next level of the game if you go down the stairs and can come back anytime to this level.

You will see two portals in the room ahead which are opposite to each other and move constantly in clockwise direction. First, go to the tile to the right of the pit and look across, throw something across onto the plate and this will close the pit. Then walk onto the closed pit and stay here. Now, the moment a portal passes the Pressure Plate ahead, go right, throw something and come back onto the closed pit. Now Stick to the door which is opening and go in. Once inside, just pull the lever which opens the gate ahead leading to the pressure plate which you used to close the pit in the middle of the room. If you pick up the thing you threw on the plate then you will see that the next pit gate far ahead will close allowing you to go to the bronze gate. We'll open it later but for now, go back and along the path. If you go right, you will come to spider eggs. Just destroy them and pick up the BROADHEAD ARROWS.

Ignore this door for now and go right from here you will come to another branched path – right or straight. Go straight and destroy the spider eggs. You will come to a cell with a closed pit inside.

Inside, you will find a LONGSWORD and the next IRON KEY after you get rid of the eggs, there's also a BLOODDROP BLOSSOM in this room to the left of the door. Go to the door with the two keyholes and open it now.
You'll come to a place which has three torch holders on the central pillar and one on either side of the room. If you place two burning torches on the sides of the room then the wall opens nearby to the left leading you to the lever which opens the Bronze Gate.

Go down right from the entrance to this level and you come to a door to the right. You should see a crab inside, kill it and go in and you also see a pit to the left but first pick up the FIRE BOMBS here. Fall into the pit and you come to this area –
The common items here to the left are PEASANT'S BREECHES and SANDALS, you can find a SCROLL below which says Westmost. The important thing here is a WOODEN BOX which is in the rightmost lane. You should also come to a wooden door – we'll open it later. For now, go to the pit and you should see a portal back up, but jump into the pit and you come here –
Pick up the BOILED CRAG BEETLE and the BAKED MAGGOT. Go to the room ahead and pick up the FROST BOMBS from the shelf to the right. If you place something on the pressure plate then the metal door to the left opens and you need to kill a lot of Scavengers. Fight with them in the narrow path between where you pick up the foor and the bombs. Go in the place they were at and look around. Go back up thru the portal and then up again back to level 6. Go into the room to the left and kill the Crab here. If you fall down the pit here, you can take LURKER PANTS and SHURIKEN and you are behind the wooden door which you saw earlier. Go out and back to level 6 and go into the area past the pit and you are in a very narrow lane. There's a Hidden Switch which opens the wall to the right. If you walk onto the pressure plate ahead, you trigger the demon's head which starts spitting fire balls. You can walk into the opened section of the wall to avoid the balls but there are two important things ahead – FIREBLADE and SCROLL OF FIREBALL.
After getting the scroll, learn the spell and head out just outside the portcullis or Mage's Entrance and look to the left to see a Demon's Head. If you throw something at it the head shoots a fireball at you. Shoot a fireball at it and the pit ahead closes. Move all the way inside and you come to a room with two fire wraiths and lots of pits. Kill the Wraiths and go to the left of this place from where you entered, look at the numbers on the map above, there are switches where the numbers are and afer closing the third switch, just walk left and pick up the ROUND KEY. Then take out the torch here and the pit to the right closes allowing you to move ahead. Go back to the first button and now push all of them and a secret wall opens. Kill the wriath and pick up the SWORD OF NEX and RING ARMOUR.
Before going back out, look into the map and look at the left most pit. It's marked as a hidden button above on the map but there is no button, just jump into the pit and you come to the Golden Grave. The gate opens ahead and you need to kill the Crab before it kills you, then go inside and grab the CROWN OF KINGS treasure.
Go to the very beginning of this place where the Demon Head is (I asked you to ignore the hidden switch earlier). Go straight from the demon head and at the end, look left, here's the pic of the hidden switch –
Hit it and go down the stairs. Now, before you head inside be warned that this is the toughest fight you have faced till now and also that it will be the one of the toughest in the fights to come. So understand the severity of the situation. If you have a fighter with sword mastery then use him – equip the sword of Nex. If there's no fighter with the sword mastery then choose another fighter – your best one, he should have a mix of both dexterity and attack power – use your best armour on this guy and make as many health potions as you can and put this with this same guy, if you have any bombs now's the time to use them. Head down and you fight atleast about three dozen Scavengers around you – think fast. After killing all of them, look at the pic below –
(Fighter's Challenge)
There's a hidden switch on the wall to the left near the middle of the room which opens a secret wall and you can take the ANCIENT APPARATUS treasure. There's a golden key on the corner of the room. Use it on the gate and take the SHIELD OF VALOUR. A portal should have opened behind in you in the center of the room, take it and go back to level 6.

Now, go right and around and you come to the room where there's three demon heads spittin energy at the holes. The heads do this in a sequence and do it very fast. You need to block all the energy from the three heads – make sure none of you party members are burdened with extra weight – their weight counter should be white, only then can you move around fast enough. The Iron Gate has SCROLL OF ECHANT FIRE ARROWS and CHITIN BOOTS. Go back to where you took the skull from and head into Level 8.
LEVEL 8: THE VAULT
(The white areas were visited during the previous level)
TREASURE PRESENT IN THIS LEVEL…
Now this is a totally optional level, so incase you feel sick of the game and want to finish it in a hurry, then just keep going ahead and you will reach the stairs to the next level but you'll miss out a great weapon, a great piece of armor, one of the treasures of the game and also lots of exp points – so I don't see the point in missing all that.

As you enter, there's a hidden switch on the wall ahead to the left. Take the SCROLL OF SHOCK SHIELD, BLUEBERRY PIE, GRIM CAP and MILKREED and move ahead. You'll come to a lifestone, just a step ahead of it to the left is a closed gate behind which is a note you can reach for – look at it. If you conttinue forward, you come to the Iron Gate of this level but you need a Gear Key to open it and then you come to the stairs out of this level. So, all we have left is the note we found earlier. Go back to level 7 and look at the following pic –
You ought to see the resemblance, Go to the pointed wall and find the hidden switch – it look different from all the switches we faced earlier, somewhat like this –
Hit the swich and qickly run to to the place pointed since the wall closes again. Walk down the stairs to another area of The Vault.

Walk to the right and the wall opens, kill the Ogre and the wraith and hit the switch to the left to open the gate to the right. There's a Demon Head on the other head shooting lightning balls so be very careful – you need to move fast. You can enter left as soon as you go thru the gate. There's a lever which opens a door further down the hall where the demon head is. Go right of this room and take the LIGHTNING BOMBS. Move to the closed portcullis here and you see that there's a chain to open it. On the wall to the left is a hidden switch which opens a wall behind you revealing a pressure plate – nothing to do now. Go to the room to the right and hit the hidden switch to the left and the other one on the back of the pillar to the right – two more walls open with two more pressure plates. The lever just opens the gate here. Place something on all three ressure plates and a secret area opens having PLATE GAUNLETS and PLATE BOOTS. Go into the room directly across and hit the hidden switch directly opposite to the door you used to enter to open the next gate closer to the demon head.
There's a lever here but save it for later. Go back out and hit the switch to the right of the entrance to the opposite room which opens a secret area immediately to the right of the Demon Head. Go there and pick up the GEAR KEY and LIGHTNING ROD. The lever in the previous room opens the door to the room which is to the left of this one. Go there next.

You will find three THROWING AXE in the first room to the left and a NOTE and FROST ARROW in the right room. Go back outside and straight down the hall – be warned – there are a lot of Fire Wraiths in the next area. You can find a TAR BEAD and LIGHTNING BOMBS and BREAD and another TAR BEAD in the areas shown above. There's a portal in the left most end of this entire area. Again, make sure you have sufficent health potions before you step into the portal.
The room is filled with all kinds of Herders – and there are more than a dozen of them – you have no where to go so you better keep moving all the time and kill them quick – use health potions on only your best fighter and let the others die. After you kill everything you can find two BRASS KEYS, a SKULL – take all the food dropped by the herders and then use one of the keys on the gate blocking the portal and go topside again. I suspect you need to use the lifesstone. Go to it and use it, while you are there, also use the gear key on the Iron Gate and take the HELMET OF VALOUR and ICE QUARREL. Use the other Brass key you have on the locked door to the right of this are and enter the next area.

There are pressure plates on all four corners of the room, before you place something on them be prepared for a fight. The walls open showing spiders and a fire wraith. The lever opens the gate to the next room. In the next room agai there are about four fire wraiths.
Go left ahead and take the GRIM CAP, MOLE JERKY, and PITROOT BREAD. The go back outside and there's a LEATHER CAP to the right. Hit the hidden switch on the pillar to the left to open the wall infront and take the WOODEN BOX and go to the gate ahead. You can find another hidden switch here but it just closes the wall opened by the previous switch. Go into the next room.
That is the most annoying spider in the entire game. Kill it as soon as possible with ranged attacks to stop it from moving around on the pressure plates which are making the demon heads shoot lightning. After killing the spider, hit the hidden switch on the wall to the right of the pits and the other Hidden Switch on the wall just opposite to the pits (if you fall into the pits you can pick up THROWING AXE and PITROOT BREAD. That opens the gate to the right which is the real Vault of the Dismantler. Before you reach for the Dismantler – which is a good sword, hit the hidden switch on the wall to the right to open a secret wall to the left revealing the GOLDEN DRAGON TREASURE. Now, onto THE LEGENDARY DISMANTLER . If you take it as it is then the gate closes and al the demon heads start shooting fireballs which will kill you – you cannot dodge them. So, just place something on the place where the Dismantler is before picking it up and you are good to go (Id it still does not work try placing a sword before pick it up). All the secrets of The Vault are now uncovered – let's head into the next level then – if you did not open the Iron Gate earlier then you can do it now.

Go in and kill the Fire Wraith and take the ORNATE KEY that it drops. You will find one SCROLL to the left now and another SCROLL to the left ahead, keep them both. Go back out and down the right path. There's a room filled with pressure plates. To the left of the room beside the gate far ahead is the SCROLL which is the key to solving this room. You need to place something on the pressure plates so that they are pressed in a chess board pattern as shown in the pic above. Go thru the gate and left ahead. You can find BROADHEAD ARROWS to the left corner and there's a hidden switch on the right of the wall to the right. This opens the wall here and you can take the NORJA BATTLE AXE and take the other stuff here like RING MAIL, IRON BASINET, LONGSWORD and LIGHTNING BOMB. Go back out and into the long hall ahead. Now, this hall keeps shifting every few steps so whenever you see it shift just turn around and continue till it shifts again and then turn around – you can also look at your map to see where you are going.

Temple Grounds
This the the most dangerous path we faced till now. It's infested with Frost Lizards which look like miniature T Rex – baby Godzilla and so forth. Try not to get killed and one of them even drops a GOLD KEY so look out. Go to the second right and all the way in and hit the hidden switch which comes to the right again to open a secret wall in the first right area inside. Go back there and take the PIT FIGHTER GLOVES and LIGHTNING BOMBS. Go back onto the main path an go straight and left and you come to a lever. Go back onto the main path and left and a door opened where you can pick up the SCROLL OF LIGHTNING. Go back to the room with the lever and go right from in here, you come to a CIRCLET OF WAR first to the left in the end and if you move forward to some portcullis and go left and in the end you find LIGHTNING BOMBS. Go back to the two Portcullis gates (one's on the left and another on the right – as soon as you go in, shut both gates to avoid the lizards from coming in). You can rest here for a bit if you want to then continue down. Open the door to the right with the Ornate Key.
The hidden button in the left corner opens the gate back but we need to look around in here first. There are three rooms with three inscriptions on the wall which read –
Hands that slaughter, Eyes that deceive
Sun of Hatred
Three Ancient Beings of the deep
Go into the Hands that Slauger area and enter the portal, do this a couple more times and you should see a SCROLL appear at the foot of the statue which you are teleported to. Read it and it gives you the sequence 3-2-1-3
Three Beings of the Deep – this is 3 since it clearly mentions the number
Hands that Slaughter, Eyes tha Deceive – this is 2 since we have two hands and two eyes
Sun of Hatred – this is one because the others are two and three (flawless logic)
Enter according to the combination then you will be teleported into a part of the next level. Take the scroll behind the left gate and read it. You need to have three torches to accomplish this or just follow the instructions here –
If you have the torches then place them on the holders in the three sides of the room and look for the shadow of the pillars cast by the two torches in the middle of the room. Stand in the area where the shadows cross and throw anything (I used throwing axes) to the North and East – look into your map and see where north and east are – just right and backwards and this opens the cullis gate. If you do not have three torches then stand near the portcullis in the middle of the room to the left, stand close to it facing it. Walk back three steps and right one step and thats the place where you need to throw the two things from. Take the CURAISS OF VALOR and go into the portal. Save the game now.
The pit ahead is closed and the one infront of it is opening and closing firstly, put something on the pressure plate you are standing on so that the pit ahead does not open up if you step on it. Look left and step right when the pit closes and put something on the plate behind the gate and walk left to avoid falling. After the gate opens, go in and turn left jsut as you enter to see a hidden switch which closes the pit outside. Go in and pull the lever then go around the other side – try not to step into the portal and hit the lever here and the gate to the right opens. Take the ORNATE KEY here. Go back to the room with the portals and then continue right on the main path into the next area.

You need to take the number of steps on the left side and the right side lanes of the hall as you move forwards as mentioned on the scroll. I marked the path anyways above on the map but it is easier if you just read the scroll. Move ahead and go right and you come ot a left and a right, in the right room you come to a LURKER HOOD and in the left area is a STONE and a NOTE. Do not throw away the stone since you are going to need it soon. Go back on the main path and go right all the way till you reach a dead end.

First hit the left switch then qucikly the right one to open the Inner Sanctum.
As soon as you step in, the walls around start coming down ahead and two new enemies show up – they are the statues that come to life – you have been seeing their statues all around for a long time now – the Goromorg's are here. These can be very annoying if you fight them in twos or fight them with another enemy. Kill them one by one whenever you see them. Kill the two here and move to the left of this large hall and you see a Switch to the left. Take the THROWING AXES and BAKED MAGGOT.

Stay in the middle of the room and you come to a pit, wal a few steps ahead and fall into the pit here (if you look into the map it's the second pit from the right). You come here –
Go around and into the door and move ahead and you come to the ICE HAMMER – the best mace in the game and arguably also, the best weapon in the game. As you near it though the walls around you come down and Three Crabs, Two Herders and several smaller Herders come at you. Just run back to the right into the narrow lane and start kill them from here. You can go back behind the door you opened and close it and take a breather and kill from there too.

You see levers here – five again. Pull the first second and fourth levers down and a pit to the left end closes, take the ORNATE KEY.
