The Town of Galican

Your     adventure     begins    in
a cinematic  introduction   of  you
being kidnapped by  the Shadow. You
are  saved  by  Rian  the  Sage and
brought  back  to  his  chamber. He
informs you of  the seven Talismans
and the  mysterious evil associated
with them.
As  you  look   around  you'll  see
a desk   in  front   of  you   with
a crystal   globe,    some   books,
scrolls, and other stuff cluttering
the  room. Right-click  on the book
to read more of the Hargani.
Turn left and  go to the Initiation
chamber. After you go down you will
hear  a  voice  say  "To  all thing
there is an  order." You must click
on  each symbol  on the  4 walls in
the  proper  order  to  achieve the
spell  categories needed  for using
the spell scrolls  that you acquire
throughout  the  game.  The correct
order  is starting  with the symbol
that when you  left-click on it you
say "A flock  of golden birds soars
around a crested  letter 'A'". then
get   the  rest   in  a  clock-wise
pattern by R-clicking on the symbol
and then R-clicking  on the glowing
scroll. "A letter 'F' surrounded by
golden filigree  flames" "A chalice
stem  forms  a  'W'  circled by the
life  of the  sea" finally  "A gold
crested  wooden  panel  gilded with
the letter 'E'."
When  you  have  all  of  the spell
categories go to  the center of the
room  and go  back up.  Now you can
open  the cabinet  on the  opposite
side of the room,  left of the door
to  exit.  Inside  the  cabinet you
will  need to  get the  jar and the
healing potion. Exit Rian's chamber
and  he will  tell you  more of the
plight  of  the  land  and give you
your    first   spell    of   water
(heal/fog).
Head South to the  well and pick up
the  broken  crank.  Turn  S and go
towards  the cathedral  to read the
two notes on  the ground (you don't
need  to  keep  them  just read and
leave  where you  found them). Then
head N to  the blacksmith shop past
the   well  and   next  to   Rian's
chamber.  Give the  broken crank to
Tala the blacksmith she will fix it
for  you,  give  her  some  time or
she'll  get upset.  Turn right  (E)
and check out  the weapons. You can
only take  the old rusty  blade but
try  to  take  the  finely  crafted
blade on  the left. Tala  will tell
you, if you  bring her something to
make it worth her while it's yours.
Exit the  shop and go E,  S, E, and
S to a tin of oil on the ground get
it and then  enter the tavern. Take
the  dagger  sticking  out  of  the
barrel in front  of you. Turn right
go  left to  the ladder.  Go up  to
your loft. Go W and get the leather
jerkin and put it  on (you can drop
your white shirt)  and go back down
the ladder. Go back to the entrance
and talk to the  drunk (not much of
a conversationalist,   we'll   come
back later) Now go back to Tala and
get the fixed  crank. Return to the
well and use the crank on the well,
use the  oil on the  crank and then
turn the crank  to raise the bucket
and  get a  golden key  that you'll
need later  in the game.  Now go to
the cathedral and speak to Benerous
the priest.  He'll tell you  of the
forest  to  the   East,  your  next
destination.

The Taarian forest

To get  to the Taarian  forest just
keep  heading east  to a  sign with
a picture of a  forest on it (duh).
Walk  up to  the hut  on the  left,
there's  a tree  blocking the door.
You'll  need something  to get past
it.  Follow the  path leading  east
and  pick up  any bugs  you find on
the ground. Go past the fork in the
road   and  be   cautious,  there's
quicksand  around here.  If you  do
get stuck in it just R-click on the
tree  branch to  pull yourself out.
To go around it torn right and move
your cursor  to the trees  until it
turns into a  hand, then R-click to
go around the  quicksand. Go across
the  bridge  Quickly   or  it  will
collapse. Go right  to the fountain
and  stand  in  front  of  it. When
you're facing the  fountain, on the
part sticking  out to the  left you
can  R-click  on  the  water to get
a stone   carving   (key   to   the
Haargani   underworld).   Go   back
across  the bridge  and back across
the quicksand to  the hut. Stand in
front  of the  tree and  go to your
inventory screen. Put  one male and
one female bug into the jar you got
at   Rian's   chamber,   exit  your
inventory  screen,  then  return to
it. You'll notice  now that the jar
is full of bugs. Use the jar on the
tree and  they will devour  it. You
will then be  greeted by the leader
of  the  Haargani,  listen  to  his
story of the Nitheran talismans and
his trapped people  (if that's what
you want to  call them). He'll also
give  you  a  lockpick  and a spell
scroll  of   Air  (poison/refresh).
When he's done yapping give him the
stone carving that you found at the
well and  he will let  you into the
hut,  then use  it on  the door  to
enter the Haargani underworld level
1 (CD-2). Save your game.

Krith's Haargani world level 1

Go straight, and then right through
door on left. Go to he wardrobes on
the right  of the room.  The one on
the left has an emerald wand to use
for  emergency  healing  (save it),
the one on the right has gloves and
boots.  Turn around  and go  to the
tubs.  Stand between  them and turn
to  the  left  one.  R-Click on the
water and you  will get jewels. The
other one has nothing. The next two
rooms you  can look around  in, but
there's  nothing  of  importance in
there. Go back to the main hallway,
turn  right  and  walk  up to where
there's  3  doors.  Go  through the
door   on   the   right.   Get  the
lockpicks  and the  rusty sword. Go
to the next  room. Get the crossbow
and the  quiver but be  careful not
to waste the  arrows, they break if
they  don't  hit  an  enemy but hit
a wall. Go back  to the hallway and
take the  east door. The  beds have
some  jewels and  gems, but nothing
exciting  (riches  are  pretty much
useless in  this game). Go  back to
main  hallway  to  the  door on the
right. Go down hall to the end door
(bathroom)  kill creature  in there
and  get the  stuff he  drops. Exit
bathroom   and   turn   down  right
hallway.  The  first  door  on  the
right  is  the  library.  Read  any
books that can be read and take any
books that can be  taken. Go to the
bookshelf with  the parchments that
are  hung to  dry. One  of them  is
a Scroll of  Fire (firestorm/resist
fatigue). There's also a box on the
shelf  with  a  puzzle  lock on it.
R-click on the  box, R-click on the
right  square, left  square, center
square, right  square, right square
to open  it. You will  get a Sphere
of  Intelligence (cool).  Now go to
the bookshelf on  the left. There's
a book on there that opens a secret
passage. Go on in.
Now you're  in a room  with a bunch
of   pits  and   walls  covered  in
spikes. One possible sequence is in
the Tour Guide. Go to the first pit
on the left,  jump in, flip switch,
climb ladder, sidestep south twice,
jump  in  pit,  flip  lever,  climb
north  ladder, turn  east, jump  in
pit  on  right,  flip  lever, climb
north ladder, north  one step, jump
in pit on  right, flip lever, climb
east  ladder,  you're  through. Now
save your game. Go  to end of hall,
read parchment, and R-click on wall
between   the  two   vertical  wood
beams.  This room  is infested with
Shadow  Creatures so  don't try  to
kill them all because you can't. Go
to the  third platform on  the left
and  left-click on  the opening  in
the  ceiling  to  see  the ledge up
there. Step on the pentagram on the
floor to  go up to  the next level.
Go   to   the   pentagram   in  the
south-west  corner of  this room to
go to yet another  level. Go to the
south-west corner of  this room and
R-click  on the  west wall  to open
a secret  passage. Get  the studded
leather   armor  and   all  of  the
healing and energy potions. Go back
out  where  you   came  in  (secret
one-way door at other end takes you
back to library  and you'll have to
go through  all of this  again) and
go to the  north-west corner of the
room and  R-click on the  west wall
to open another  secret passage. Go
down hall  and go through  the wall
at the end to a room with a tree in
it. Get the rusty sword on the left
(if  you  need  it)  and  go to the
tree. The tree has 'living' keys on
it.  Get  a  key  and  head down th
e hall,  turn  left,  and  go  down
stairs to the door with the tree on
it. Use your living key on it.
You're now in a  room with a frozen
floor.  You  can  use  a  firestorm
spell on  it to get a  shield or go
around  corner and  get one  of the
fire globes on the  floor to use on
it. Go  through the door  at end of
hall  to a  four way  intersection.
Enter  the  room  to  the west with
a tree  surrounded  by  engravings.
Look at each symbol around the tree
and  notice which  direction you're
facing (draw the  symbol on a piece
of paper with  the direction so you
can  remember  which  symbol stands
for  which  direction).  Go through
the archway to the  west to a large
skull. Each side of the base of the
skull   is   on    has   a   secret
compartment.  The  north  side  has
a scroll  and  the  south  side has
a bag  of  charcoal  dust  (I never
figured  out  what  this  was for).
Exit  room  go  across  hall to the
room  with  the  horny  pillars. Go
around  to the  south side  of room
and  get  arrows  on  the floor. Go
back  to the  horny pillars  and on
the opposite side  from the doorway
to get in here,  there is a strange
mirror.  R-click on  the mirror and
it  will  ask  you  a question (the
answer is sky). When you answer the
question  correctly,  a  hand  will
emerge from the mirror and give you
the  Sphere  of  Intelligence  then
shatter.  Pick up  the fragment  on
the  floor in  front of  the mirror
before  you  leave.  Exit  room and
head south to the  end of the hall.
Use your lockpicks  on the door and
go in.  Go around the  table to the
west side of the room. Get and read
the book on  the floor then inspect
the  bookcase. There  is a pressure
plate  on one  of the  shelves. Put
the  book  you  just  found  on the
pressure  plate  to  open  a puzzle
lock. Use the symbols that you drew
to get the symbols on the puzzle in
the  right  directions.  R-click on
the lever to the  left when you get
the  symbols  in  the  right order.
A door  to your  left will  open up
but don't  enter it yet.  Go to the
other door in the  room and go down
the hall to the  door on the right.
Enter,  get scale  armor beside the
stairs  and  exit.  Go  to the next
door on left, enter and DON'T DRINK
THE WATER it poison,  but if you do
just  get  the  cure  poison potion
from inside the oven (fine place to
put it). Exit,  enter the last door
and get  the arrow. Go  back tot he
room  with  the   puzzle  door  you
opened  earlier and  go through the
secret door. Go down the ladder and
save your game.

Krith's Haargani World-level 3

You're  now  in   what  looks  like
a sewer  (the   sewer  level  comes
later). There are barrels in almost
every corner of  his level and some
of  them  are  full  of fresh water
(safe)  and some  have murky  water
that  have  leaches  in  them which
will poison you.  Don't worry about
getting  poisoned because  there is
a cure coming  up in a  barrel with
salt in  it, but we'll  get to that
in a minute. Go  east then south to
check  barrels,  then  north, east,
and   north  to   the  first   bone
archway.  On  the  left  after  the
archway is a  sword sticking out of
a skull.  R-click   on  the  sword.
ZZAAAPPP don't be  so greedy. We'll
get the sword later.  Go to the end
of the hall and  in the barrel with
the  fresh  water   in  it  there's
a jeweled  hilt. You  need this  to
give to  Tala so she  will give you
the  finely crafted  sword. Go back
out to intersection  and head east,
and  south. You'll  se a  switch on
the wall  to the left  and a barrel
of salt (the salt kills the leeches
and  cures  your  poison).  Go east
from here, south,  west, south, and
east. Check this barrel for a lever
then  go south,  west, north, west,
north,  and west.  You'll run  into
a set  of  jaws  that  you can't go
through  yet.  You   need  to  find
something  to  prop  them  open. Go
back to  the switch and  the barrel
of salt.  Go east of  the switch to
see  the trapped  Haargani then  go
back  to  the  switch  and  use the
lever  on  it  and  just  throw the
switch. The gate  will open and the
Haargani  will  flee.  Go  to where
they were and go around the corner.
To  the north  is a  pile of bones.
Get one and then  talk to the dying
Haargani.  He will  tell you  about
the Sword Destructica (sword in the
skull)   and  he   will  give   you
a Sphere of  Discourse. Turn toward
barrels and get the page and use it
on the book you have about weapons.
Now  go back  to the  sword in  the
skull. R-click on the SKULL not the
sword  and  it  will  rise  up  and
expose  three impressions.  Put the
three  spheres  you  collected into
the  impressions in  the skull  (no
particular  order that  I know  of)
and put the skull down. NOW you can
R-click  on  the  sword  to free it
from the skull.
***(CAUTION)***  As   the  book  on
weapons    states;     the    Sword
Destructica can be  very jealous of
other weapons. Do not use it in one
hand while you  have another weapon
in  the  other  hand,  and  do  not
un-equip it once  you have equipped
it. Else you will  have to fight it
in another dimension in battle, and
it's no easy foe, but a really neat
part of  the game just  remember to
save  your game  before you  try to
battle it. Now go  to the jaws trap
and use  the bone you  found by the
dying  Haargani  on  the  jaws just
left of center (when the word "USE"
is yellow). When you go through the
first jaws you  have to turn around
and  get it  to use  on the  second
one. In the room  on the other side
of the jaws trap is a very powerful
creature. It is a  good idea to use
the  Sword Destructica  on him, but
make  sure  it's  the  only  weapon
you're  holding and  you don't take
it out of your  hand! Once he's out
of the way, go  to the two barre ls
and get the  TWO healing potions in
EACH  barrel. Then  go to  the blue
force   field.   Use   the   mirror
fragment  on the  blue force  field
and   take   the   Talisman  inside
(Talisman of Massive Strength). The
exit  is through  a secret  door in
the  south-east corner  of the room
on the  south wall. When  you go up
the  ladder,  you  will  be  facing
a Skull  door. Don't  go through it
yet.  Turn  around  and  go  up the
ladder  some  more  to  the Taarian
forest (CD-1).
At the  top of the  ladder you have
to  click  on  the  forest near the
path to  get through the  trees. At
the intersection turn  right and go
to the bridge and  just stand on it
or  keep walking  over it  until it
collapses. In the  trench is a key,
get it for later.  Now head west to
get  back to  Galican, which  is no
occupied by Shadow Creatures. Go to
the  cathedral and  give the  Sword
Destructica to the  priest. He will
ask   you   for   more  information
regarding  the curse  of the sword,
so  give  him  the  book on weapons
that you had to  put the page into,
then give  him the sword  again. He
says  he will  pray on  the soul of
the sword and he disappears. Now go
to  Tala and  give her  the jeweled
hilt and she will  let you take the
finely  crafted sword.  Go back tot
he cathedral and  get the un-cursed
Sword  Destructica,  which  is  now
just  a finely  crafted weapon. Use
the  cathedral  for  storage. Equip
yourself with the Sword Destructica
and  the finely  crafted sword from
Tala  and  dump  the  rest  of your
weapons or whatever  you don't need
except for the mace. Go back to the
Taarian  forest and  down the  hole
you  came  up  to  the  skull door.
R-click  on the  door to  enter the
sewers. (CD-3).

The Sewers

You start out  facing south and the
door straight ahead  won't open, so
turn east  and go down  hallway and
down   a  slope   to  a   four  way
intersection.   Go  north   and  go
through  a   strange  looking  door
( just walk right  into it, it will
open).  You'll see  a green glowing
indent in  the floor in  the center
of the room.  R-click on the indent
and a  large cube will  rise up out
of the floor. If  you left click in
the  center  of   the  cube  you'll
notice   it's   an   illusion,   so
R-click  on it  and you'll  get the
Talisman  of   Invulnerability.  Go
around  to  the  other  side of the
cube  and  push  the  button  it to
retract it back  into the floor. Go
north  down the  ramp to  the skull
door with the three colored buttons
next  to it.  You need  to find out
what  the correct  sequence is  for
pushing the buttons and opening the
door. Go around  the outside of the
room  (along  the  walls  where the
sewer  drains   are).  You'll  find
a note from Rian  and a new weapon,
Claws of Death (not very good in my
opinion). Exit this  whole room and
go    back    to    the    four-way
intersection.  Head south  and east
until you see a button on the south
wall.  Push  it  and  go through to
another    four-way    intersection
facing south. Go east then south to
end. (by the  way watch the ceiling
for  snake-like  creatures  hanging
down,  they're kind  of a  pain but
the  crossbow works  good on  them,
just stand  back a couple  of steps
and it takes between  3 and 5 shots
to kill one,  just remember to pick
up again what  arrows don't break.)
go  west to  end, north  to s econd
left  then  to  small  button about
half way  along the wall.  Push the
button and enter. Get and equip the
chain  leggings (drop  your leather
leggings   to   save   space)  walk
forward  and R-click  on the barrel
straight ahead behind the pipes and
next  to  the  skulls  (Fire  spell
blind/enhance  attack).  Side  step
right  then R-click  on opening  in
coffin  get Claws  of Death  if you
want them. Exit.  Button north wall
doesn't work. Go east to end, south
to  intersection, and  east to  the
two buttons on the wall. The button
on the  north wall opens  a door to
a room with nothing you need in it.
Push button on  south wall. There's
two cure poison potions on the left
and if you R-click on the big skull
on  the right  you will  get a Ruby
Wand (not sure  what it does). Exit
and  go  west,  south,  east  to an
engraving of) the letter 'A' on the
north  wall.  R-click   on  it  and
enter.  There's  nothing  to  do in
here, but notice the pattern of the
colors coming out  of the fountain.
Yes, that's the  code for the Skull
door   with   the   three   colored
buttons.  Exit,  go  east  to  end,
north to  end, and go  through wall
(it's  the  one  you  came  in here
from)  Go east,  then north  to get
the healing potions. Now back track
and  go to  the room  that has  the
skull  door.  Push  the  buttons in
this  order:  blue,  yellow,  blue,
red,  red  (or  or  ange, orange if
that's what color  you think it is)
Go  through door.  Your now  at the
Gondola Station. (CD-4).

Gondola Station/ Jaren's Keep

Go  through the  gate (don't  go to
the gondola  yet, also pick  up the
ram's  horn if  you didn't  get the
one from the statue earlier) at the
big bug  picture on the  wall there
are  two stairways  going down take
the   left  stairs   and  look   at
Jaren's collection of  stuff on the
walls (cool eh?) Go east to the end
of the hall and enter room. Get the
butterfly on the  floor and there's
three green mushrooms in the garden
you can  take if you  want (haven't
found any use  for them). Exit room
and   go  to   the  collection   of
butterflies  and bugs  on the wall.
Put  the  one   you  found  in  the
collection and a  bee key will fall
out onto the floor.  Now go west to
room  with big  dragon skeleton  in
it. Walk around to the front of the
skeleton.  OOPS sorry  I meant back
of the skeleton. It didn't hurt too
much did it?  Go through doorway on
other side of room and head west to
the  next  room  on  the right. Get
healing  and  cure  poison  potion,
exit,  and go  east to  end to  the
room  on the  left. Read  any books
that can be read, and take the book
Progeny's End (hint, hint) the desk
on  the other  side of  the room is
also a vital part  of the game, but
you  don't  have  the  key  yet. Go
outside  and get  the arrows,  then
exit the room and head west to end,
south to end, and  east to the room
on the right.  Go around the corner
and up the stairs. Hmmm a door with
a giant bee on it,  I wonder how to
get through  it (duh the  bee key).
Go  down  the  hall  take the first
left and  go around the  bed to get
the  crossbow   pistol.  The  large
cabinet  has a  healing potion,  an
amethyst   globe,  and   an  energy
potion. See the  water, you'll need
to   come   back   here   later  to
de-poison  some  tentacles.  In the
next room there is a large wardrobe
but you can't open  it. Go down the
hall  to the  outside where  you'll
see  a large  telescope and  Jaren.
When he  gets done telling  you his
BS  grab  the  key  and  the broken
tablet  that  he  drops,  then head
east, south down  the hall to where
you  came in  from. Push  the small
button  on  the  west  wall  to the
right and go downstairs and back to
Jaren's  room (north  to the poster
of plants,  east to stairs,  up and
down  the stairs,  east to  room at
the  end). Use  the key  that Jaren
dropped on the desk. R-click on the
desk to  get a closer  look and you
will   see  a   large  tablet  with
strange symbols on  it (Ultima fans
will recognize  the Runic alphabet,
although  it's a  little different)
and  a box  to the  right with  the
letter  'J' on  it. R-click  on the
'J' to open the box and get a Water
Scroll  (ice   storm/cure  poison).
You'll find the  code to the tablet
later on in the  game (this will be
your  last  stop  before  the final
level). If you mess with the tablet
Jaren  will boot  you out  it's the
easy way back to the gondola, which
is where you want  to be anyway, so
go there and get in the gondola and
use the ram's horn  on the cable of
the  gondola (where  the word 'USE'
turns yellow). When  you get to the
other side  enter the cave  and you
will go to Venomire Marsh (CD-1).

Venomire Marsh

Get  the  two  arrows  that  are in
front  of you,  then fight  the pod
plant creature to the right and get
the  tentacle it  drops. Go forward
one more step and fight another and
get the tentacle  it drops. Use one
tentacle  on  the   other  to  make
a length  of  vine.   You  are  now
poisoned  don't  bother  using  any
cure   poison  potions   or  spells
because    you   will    just   get
re-poisoned  again  for  having the
tentacles  in  your  possession. Go
back to the gate that you came into
Venomire   Marsh  from   and  enter
Gondola Station  again (CD-4). Take
the  gondola back  to Jaren's keep,
enter  and turn  left at  the giant
bug  down  the  stairs,  turn right
down hall, take left down next hall
to the go  upstairs through the bee
door (you don't  need the key since
you   already  unlocked   it,  just
R-click on the keyhole) go down the
hall and take the  first left to he
thing with the water in it. Use the
length  of  vine  on  the  water to
de-poison  it and  now you  can use
a cure  poison  potion  on yourself
and  maybe hang  around a  while to
heal  if  you  don't  want to waste
spell  points or  potions. Now  you
need to go  back to Venomire Marsh.
When you get  there enter the tower
and use  the gold key  that you got
from  the  well  in  Galican on the
shaft door and go down the ladder.

Burned Bones Corridor

Welcome  to  Burned  Bones Corridor
(save your game). Go to the hallway
and turn right to the door with the
yellow symbols on  it in a circular
pattern.  Use   the  broken  tablet
piece  that you  got from  Jaren on
the  bottom section  of the pattern
where it  looks like it  goes. Then
you  need  to  push  the symbols in
this  order;  R-click  on  the left
symbol,   right    symbol,   bottom
symbol,  and top  symbol. The  door
will open and you  can enter. Go to
the
room ahead of you and get the chain
mail and the  jade wand. Turn right
to   the  cabinet   on  the   wall,
R-click  to  open  it  and  get the
armet, healing  and energy potions.
Now  go  to  the  painting  in  the
center of  the room and  R-click on
it. A  woman's face appears  in the
painting and tells  you some stuff.
When  she  disappears  so  does the
painting  and there  is a  shelf in
its place  with a curved  sword and
a book called  Acta Sanctorum, read
it.  Exit  this  room  to  the main
hallway turn right  and go to door.
Open door  and go through  the next
door. The next  room has two doors,
so which one do you choose? Ask the
residents  of  the  room  for help.
L-click   on  the   skeleton  torch
wall-hangings,  they  will  "point"
the  way to  go. Same  for the next
room.  In the  following room  turn
left  and  go  through  the  ornate
door, go  down the stairs  and save
your game before  going through the
next  door.  In  this  room you are
faced by a Minotaur. Use the curved
sword  from  the  painting  and the
sword from Tala on him. He's pretty
tough but these two weapons are far
superior than his.  You can get his
whip  if  you  want,  it's  a  cool
weapon,  but not  too powerful. Now
use   the  length   of  vine   from
Venomire  Marsh on  the railing  on
the  left  side   of  the  room  to
descend  into  the  pit.  (now when
people tell you to go to h ell, you
can say you've been there)

Fire Tunnels/ Mushroom Tunnels

Go  down the  left tunnel,  turn at
corner  going left,  turn right  at
fork,  straight at  next fork,  and
right at next fork. (pretty simple)
Now you're in the Mushroom Tunnels,
the  sorceresses are  kind of tough
so use the ornate sword on them. Go
straight through water and mushroom
tunnel checking the walls for loose
rocks (they can be very useful). At
the  end  of  the  tunnel it splits
left and right, the left tunnel has
a locked door that you will need to
get  the  key   for  later,  so  go
through  the  right  tunnel  to the
Desolate Castle.

Desolate Castle

The first door to  the castle is no
problem,  but the  second door will
crash  down on  you. Turn  left and
get the  rock an the  floor then go
back to the second gate. R-click on
the gate to open  it then 'use' the
rock  you just  found on  the upper
right-hand corner of the doorway to
jam it  open. When you  get through
the door, it will crash down behind
you.  Turn  right,  go  forward one
step,  turn left,  and then forward
two  steps. Get  the scroll  in the
rubble  for your  first Earth-based
spell   (sandstorm/resist   magic).
Turn  right  and  go  to  the desk.
A net  will trap  you, but  just go
into combat  mode and cut  your way
out (what was the purpose of this?)
make sure you pick up the rope coil
at your  feet from the  cut net. At
the  desk R-click  on the  books on
the  desk to  read them.  Now go to
the  stairs  and  walk  around  the
right side  of it. There  are three
chains hanging to your right of the
stairs. Yank on  the middle one and
the ceiling  will fall in.  Pick up
one of  the pieces of  wood. Now go
around the other side of the stairs
get the Banded armor  and put it on
(you can drop your old armor). Next
go up the  stairs. SURPRISE ATTACK,
don't worry he's not too tough, now
go  upstairs. When  you yanked  the
chain    downstairs,    you    also
destroyed the walkway  up here. Now
what?  Use the  rope coil  from the
net that  fell on you  on the chain
hanging over the  gap in the floor.
R-click on  the chain and  you will
swing across to  the other side. Go
up the  ladder to next  level. Walk
towards  the d  esk but  be careful
not to touch it or it will collapse
and the  candle will burn  the book
(which  you need).  So next  to the
stairs  you just  came up  is table
with  a pair  of rusty  scissors on
it, get the scissors and 'use' them
on  the  candle  on  the desk. This
will put out the  flame and you can
get the book without it burning up.
Now  you have  the translation  for
the tablet  in the desk  in Jaren's
room   (it's    written   in   your
journal), although  you still don't
have the right word to use on it...
or do  you? Now go up  the next set
of  stairs  to  Zalena's  room. She
will  attack you  but then realizes
who you are. R-click  on her to let
her apologize and  tell you to meet
her downstairs near the entrance of
the Castle. When she leaves get the
Bloodstone   Cloak   (equip),   the
silver  wand  (not   sure  what  it
does),   and   the   book  contains
a scroll  of  Air  (windstorm/sound
shield).  Go  downstairs,  down the
ladder, swing across the gap in the
floor,  and down  the first  set of
stairs and  talk to Zal  ena again.
She'll  tell you  about her brother
she  had  to  kill,  give  you  the
Talisman  that  drove  him  mad and
a dragon scale. Open  the gate that
you  had  to  prop  open  to get in
here, and jam a  piece of wood into
the  upper left-hand  corner of the
doorway.  Open the  outer gate  and
exit.  Now your  back at  the fancy
looking   door   in   the  Mushroom
tunnels.  Use the  dragon scale  on
the  door  to   open  it  and  walk
through.
You then come to  a huge chasm with
an  enormous tower  in the distance
and  a voice  calls out  to you  to
"...cast yourself upon the wind..."
So  cast your  windstorm spell  out
towards  the   tower.  A  cinematic
sequence   shows   your   windstorm
picking you up  and carrying you to
the   tower,   throwing   you  into
a hole. (CD-5).

Ystalin's Lair

When  you arrive  inside the  tower
your facing what  looks like a well
with uuggghhh  a meat hook  down in
it. Turn around  and go through the
doors behind you.  Walk forward and
pick  up the  gauge. At  the end of
the  room  is  a  mechanical  door,
which  of course,  you have  to put
all  the  pieces  together  in  the
right order  to open it.  Turn left
at  the  door  and  walk  down  the
hallway  to  get  all  of the stuff
there  (large   gear,  small  fuse,
piston, a pump,  and a drive belt).
Now go to  the south-west corner of
th e room near the door you came in
from, and go  to the drafting table
to  your  right.  Read  all  of the
blueprints on the wall and check on
top of  the table where  the rolled
up papers are for a hidden fuse for
the door. Go back to the mechanical
door  and  sidestep  twice  to  the
left.  Here  you  have  to  put the
pieces together in this order:

1. put the large gear on the peg at
the upper left of the wall.
2. put the drive  belt on the large
gear.
3.  put  the  piston  on  the large
gear.
4.  put  the  gauge  on  the  power
conductor.
5.  put the  big fuse  and then the
small fuse in the fuse system.
6.  put the  pump on  the two white
pegs to the right of the fuses.

Sidestep  back  to  the  mechanical
door and just R-click on it to open
it and go  downstairs. Open door at
the  bottom of  the stairs  and you
are  now in  a very  ugly room with
a big  statue in  the middle.  Turn
right and  get the note  from Gamel
of Kienderan on  the floor. Walk up
to the front of  the statue and get
the scroll  on the left  (note from
Tala)  and  the   diamonds  on  the
right. Walk around the left side of
the statue to the display case with
the finely crafted chainmail in it.
Use a weapon to break the glass and
take the chainmail. Now walk around
the right side  of the statue north
to the big double doors. R-click on
the  rectangle on  the door  and oh
boy another puzzle.  R-click on the
red  button  and  you'll  see  four
squares with different arrangements
of swords in each box. You can only
R-click on the box  on the right so
go ahead and do  it until the three
swords are pointing down (hilts up)
then push the  red button again and
R-click on the door  to open it and
go  down  the  stairs  through  the
Dragon doors. You  are now standing
in  a  beautiful  room  filled with
gold,  diamonds,   weapons,  armor,
shields   and  riches   beyond  you
imagination.  DON'T  TOUCH!  But if
you   do  don't   worry  you'll  be
notified soon.  At the far  side of
the room  is a small  staircase. As
you go  up the stairs  you are then
greeted  by   Ystalin  the  dragon.
Since  he  calls  you untrustworthy
you might as well give him back the
stuff  you  stole,  including  that
cool finely  crafted chainmail from
the  glass  case   in  the  oth  er
room.(he might boot  you out if you
piss him  off, but if  he does just
go  back  to  him  and  he'll think
you've  learned  your  lesson). Now
that    you   have    proven   your
worthiness,  Ystalin will  tell you
all  about   the  seven  talismans,
Nithera and about the medallion you
now hold. When  he finishes telling
his  tale  he  will  give  you  the
Talisman of Basilisk  and a ride to
Nithera itself. (save your game).

Nithera

When you arrive in Nithera you will
be  in a  garden labyrinth  and the
finely  crafted chainmail  you gave
back  to  Ystalin  will  be  on the
ground  on front  of you  (that was
nice of him). Head north, then west
and  pick up  the two-handed sword.
Then  go west,  north, and  west to
a small dark room. There's a bottle
of  lamp oil  on the  ground to the
right  that  you  will  need later.
Head  east  and  north  around  the
garden  and get  he sextant  on the
ground then head  south and west to
the  end.  The  wall  has  a pillar
going up  the middle of  it and two
torches  on  either   side  of  it.
R-click on the  right torch and the
pillar will open up to a doorway.
The room before you has for pillars
in the  middle of it and  a red rug
between    the     four    pillars,
a stairway on  the left and  a gate
on the right. DON'T WALK ACROSS THE
RUG. It will poison you permanently
(as long  as you are  in this room)
and  the  statues  around  the room
will come to life and attack you if
you go near them. If you turn right
from  the doorway  you entered from
there's a plate chest armor, if you
still  have the  armor from Ystalin
then you don't  want this one. Walk
around to the  south east corner of
the room  enter the gate  there and
go  downstairs. Go  south, east and
north to  room with a  large kettle
in it, exit to the east to the next
room (dining room) and get the fire
iron  on  the  floor  to your right
next  to  the  fire  pit.  Take two
steps  north and  walk east  to the
wall past the benches. The torch on
the wall is moveable but too hot to
touch, so use your  fire iron on it
and a secret door  will open up. Go
up  the  stairs  and  you  come  to
a room  with  knives  flying across
it, the fountain puzzle should have
deactivated  it? If  it didn't then
just walk up to  each set of knives
and take a  step forward after they
fly by your face. At the end of the
room  is a  large green  sphere and
two  potions. Get  the potions  and
then R-click on  the base under the
sphere  to  deactivate  the  knives
trap. Turn right (west) and go down
the  hole  in   the  floor  through
a tunnel to a  room that was behind
a door  that  you  couldn't  unlock
from the other side. Go west to the
room  and get  the amb  er wand. Go
back down the hole to the room with
the  sphere  and  exit  through the
gate at the end  to get back to the
dining room.  Exit to the  hall and
go through the silver door with the
snake  engraving on  it. Go through
this   room  to   the  north  door,
locked,  the  south  door  leads to
a hallway with several doors. Enter
the first  door on left  and you'll
see a fountain with three different
sized beakers in front of it. First
get all of the beakers and put them
on  your  ready   belt  for  easier
access. Walk up to the fountain and
R-click on it,  it will turn around
and have  just one face  with water
pouring out  of it. R-click  on the
fountain again to get a closer view
of  it. There  will be  three small
pillars  of  different  heights  in
front  of  the  running  water. The
object  here  is   to  balance  the
pillars using the  beakers. You can
fill   the  beakers   half  way  by
holding  them  in   your  hand  and
R-clicking  on  the  running water,
and  completely   filling  them  by
R-clicking  again on  the water. If
you want to dump the water out just
R-click the beaker on the floor. To
balance  it  half  fill  the medium
beaker  and  place  it  on the left
pillar,  completely fill  the large
beaker and  place it on  the center
pillar,  and  put  the  empty small
beaker  on  the  right  pillar. The
three  pillars  will  all  go  down
completely and you won't be able to
pick up the  beakers again. This is
supposed  to de-activate  a trap in
another  room  with  flying knives.
Exit the fountain and head north to
the  next room.  There's nothing in
the  room  to  the  south.  Go down
hallway   to  the   gate  and   the
swimming pool. Get your sword ready
jump in the pool and tu!
rn  left  to  battle  the  electric
water creature in  the water. After
you kill the  creature go down into
the  water  some  more  turn  right
(south),  take  two  steps forward,
turn  right   again(west),  and  go
underwater  and into  a cave. While
your  underwater   you  will  loose
health so quickly turn left and use
your shovel on the mask in the wall
twice  to  free  it,  and  take the
mask, turn left  again and exit the
cave. The mask is nothing you need,
but  it is  interesting. Turn  left
(north),  two  steps  forward, turn
right  (west), forward  (up steps),
turn right again  and exit room. Go
back to the fountain, turn left and
exit  back  to  hallway.  The  door
directly across the  hall (in front
of you) has nothing of interest, so
head south down the hall. The first
door on the  right also has nothing
so  go  south  to  the  next  room.
Nothing  here either  so go through
the door  to the east.  Now your in
the  main  library  (this  might be
a little confusing).  Read the book
two steps east of the ladder on the
north bookshelf, fourth book to the
right  of  center   on  the  bottom
shelf.  Do  not  read  book  on the
bottom shelf  to the left,  it will
make  you fight  yourself (and  you
are one tough dude now) you can try
it once if you  want, but there are
a bunch of these  books in here and
after  a  while  you  start  to get
annoying so turn  left to where the
ladder is, go  up, slide left twice
and go  up the south  ladder. Slide
the ladder until it goes around the
corner,  and from  the corner slide
left   twice  and   read  the  book
between  the top  two ladder rungs.
This  book   will  de-activate  the
b ook   that    makes   you   fight
yourself.  Slide back  to the right
and   return    to   the   original
position.  Go  down  to  the  first
floor. Go to the  book cases on the
south  wall and  start at  the east
end near the  table. Two steps west
read book on  the bottom left side,
Palli  Manus  (remember  the statue
before  Ystalin).  Go  back  to the
east wall  and up ladder.  Slide to
the right  four times and  read the
book on the  center shelf far right
it's  a book  on weapons,  keep it.
Slide back  tot the left  and go to
where  the two  ladders are  on the
second  level of  the library.  Use
the  lamp  oil  from  the  Nitheran
gardens on the bottom of the ladder
to  get  it  unstuck,  now  it will
slide. Go up it  and slide it right
and get off of it, walk to the end,
get  book on  the floor  as you go,
and examine the  south wall, you'll
notice it's a  little strange. Turn
and  walk west  two steps  and turn
around facing east. The lamp on the
corner of the wall on your right is
loose, go  ahead and R-click  on it
and you  will see the  strange wall
move.  Go  R-click  on  the wall to
open up a secret  area. Go down the
stairs  and  down  the  hall  to an
eerie glowing blue gate. I've never
found a key or  a spell that worked
on  this gate,  but if  you try  to
open it, it will go through you and
a glowing   blue  demon   dog  will
appear  from the  gate. He's pretty
tough  too  so  be  careful or save
your game before touching the gate.
Inside  the room  past the  gate to
the right is a  new weapon, a Kris,
and  a  great  weapon.  Go  to  the
bookshelf on the  east wall and get
the book  on the lower  right. Turn
right  and R-click  on the  book on
the desk, you find out Jaren is not
what  he seems  to be.  Now back to
the blue gate,  when you go through
it this  time you will  be attacked
by   two   of   those   demon   dog
creatures. Use the Kris to kill the
one blocking your exit and run like
hell back down to the main floor of
the library to avoid the one behind
you. Now exit the library, the door
might be stuck so keep walking away
from it  and trying again,  it will
open  eventually. Go  right (north)
down hallway  to the next  room and
exit west (the door in front of you
is  locked). Head  west, north, and
west back to  the stairs leading up
to the main  entrance hall with the
red carpet. Go around the carpet to
the stairs on the other side of the
room. Go through  the gate and down
the hall to the  hall on the right.
It's in poor condition and the room
at the  end is on fire,  so go back
through the  gate and jump  down to
the  floor (straight  from the gate
south)  you  will  be  standing  in
front  of  a  large  cauldron  with
a fire  burning in  it. Turn around
facing the stairs and a large horn.
To  the   right  of  the   horn  is
a secret room with  three levers in
it, R-click on  the three levers so
that they  are all down  (the pilot
lights on  the top and  bottom will
be  lit  but  the  middle one won't
be). Go back  around the carpet, up
the  stairs, through  the gate  and
back to the hall  that was on fire,
you can now go  into the room. Head
north, east  and south to  door. Go
to  the south  end of  the room and
get the  book on the  bottom center
shelf. Exit room  and go north down
hall then east to the end and south
to the door with  the gold star and
the letter 'F' on it, use your Jade
wand on the door  and enter. On the
south-east    bookshelf    is   the
Talisman  of  Restore  Energy, exit
room and go  down the east hallway.
The hall has  collapsed but you can
dig  it out  with your  shovel. The
wall  you  just   dug  out  has  an
impression of a  sextant on it, use
the   sextant  you   found  in  the
Nitheran gardens on the impression.
You are  now in a  hallway lit with
blue blobs of light, follow hall to
a room  that  is  in  shambles with
a crater  in  the  center.  This is
where  the Ystalin  the dragon said
the  Nitheran  mages  combined  the
seven  talismans  in  a cataclysmic
explosion  of power  that destroyed
them all. The  Talisman of Heal-all
is still  in the crater  for you to
get.  Now  turn   left  and  follow
hallway to the outside. You will be
attacked by a  small, but powerful,
dragon here. When you kill him then
you can get on the ship. Turn south
facing  the stern  of the  ship and
use  your  sextant  on  the  rudder
system,  if you  don't you'll  just
fly   in  circles.   Now  you   can
R-click  on  the   ships  wheel  to
return   to  the   Gondola  Station
(CD-4).
When   you  get   back  to  Gondola
Station  enter  the  tunnel  to the
east to go  back to Venomire Marsh.
Once in Venomire  Marsh Head south,
don't  bother  with  the  attacking
plant life  just run past  them. Go
across  the  bridge   and  back  to
Galican.  While  you're  here visit
the drunk  in the pub  for a little
info, then  head north out  of town
to  the Forsaken  crypt. Save  your
game before entering. (CD-3).

The Forsaken Crypt

Entering the graveyard  in front of
the crypt can  be hazardous to your
health. The gargoyles  that you saw
in the  cut-scene come to  life and
they   are   very   evasive.   Heal
completely  after   the  first  one
before you take  on the second one.
Enter  the  crypt  and  go down the
stairs the entrance  will be sealed
behind  you. R-click  on the barrel
where  the  hallway  begins  to get
a crowbar. The pile of bones in the
middle  of  the  hall  will come to
life  and attack  you so  watch out
for  them throughout  the crypt. Go
west to the room and get the arrows
on   the  ground,   the  north-west
corner  of  the  room  on the north
wall  there's  a  hole  in the wall
with a skeleton sticking out of it.
R-click on the  skeleton to get his
gold  tooth (another  useless piece
of  wealth). The  next hole  to the
east on  the north wall  has apiece
of cloth that you  can use later in
the crypt  to mark a  trail to find
your way back out  if, or when, you
get lost. Head  east down the hall,
the  last  hole  on  the south wall
before the corner has another piece
of  cloth. Go  around corner, three
steps south on east  wall is a door
with  a  picture  of  an  eagle  on
a shield, open  it to get  a silver
cross. The next  hole south on east
wall  has another  piece of  cloth.
Follow  hall and  on the  east wall
there's another door,  but you have
to  use the  crowbar on  it to open
it. Inside  you will find  a battle
axe.  The  hole  in  the  west wall
where the skeleton  is sticking out
has  another  piece  of  cloth. The
first door  on south wall  has your
last Earth  spell (paralyze/enhance
protection) use the crowbar to open
it.  Next hole  east on  south wall
has another gold  tooth, north wall
has a not from Teirian to his wife,
head  east  around  corner  to hall
leading   north,  south   wall  has
cloth.  The door  on east  wall has
the spirit  of Seldin who  asks you
to return  his bones to  this grave
(remember where it  is). Head north
to  the wall  on the  right that is
falling  apart,  just  hack  at  it
until it crumbles. There's a zombie
on  the  other  side  of  the  wall
(it's  Tas)  kill  him  and he will
drop the Talisman  of Bird of Prey.
You  now have  all seven  Talismans
(cool),  head east  and north until
you see  a spirit fly  by you, that
means  that  the  walls  have moved
around. Every time you see a spirit
fly  by  you  the  wall  have moved
somewhere, so the way you came from
might  not be  there anymore.  This
can  be really  confusing but  have
patience.  Drop  a  piece  of cloth
here to mark the  exit and go east,
south, east, and south to a barrel,
turn  east  then  north,  a  spirit
flies by. Return  to the barrel and
go  north,  east,  north  and west.
Drop   cloth  and   head  north  to
intersection.  Go east  north west,
south to end, a spirit flies by, go
north,  east, south,  turn west  to
end, south,  west to end,  north to
end,  spirit  flies  by  go  south,
east,  north, east......DAMN  I got
lost.....just  keep  trying  to  go
west until  you get to  a room with
a huge  pile   of  bones.  Seldin's
bones  are  here  along  with chain
boots, a chain coif,  and a page to
Seldin's  diary. To  find your  way
back  just  keep  heading  west and
eventually you'll come  back to the
wall you had  to break through. The
first  door on  the left  after the
broken  wall is  where you  need to
return  Seldin's   bones.  Now  the
entrance of  the crypt is  open and
you  can  return   to  Galican.  In
Galican you need to  go to the west
exit  and return  to Venomire Marsh
and go through the  gate at the far
end  to go  to the  Gondola Station
(CD-4).
Enter Gondola and blow your horn to
get across. Enter  Jaren's Keep and
go right a the big bug, east at the
hall and go  through the first door
on the  left. Go to  the desk where
the  tablet is  R-click to  open it
and R-click  to get a  closer look.
Now you need to figure out what the
code  is  for  the  tablet. I don't
want  to make  it too  easy for you
but  look  in  your  books that you
have  and see  if you  can get  it.
Hint:   look   in   a   book  about
families. If you get the right code
for the  tablet it wil  l glow blue
and  you will  hear a  growl in the
distance from another room. Now you
need to go  to the dragon skeleton.
Exit  from the  tablet, exit  room,
turn right (west)  and go to second
door on left. Now  walk in front of
the  dragon (don't  worry he  won't
hurt you again). R-click on him and
he will walk  forward, roar in your
face  then  he  will  pull  on  the
chains to open  the floor under his
pedestal to the final level.

The Final Level

Walk  straight  down  hall  to  the
dragon  throne. A  voice will  give
you  a clue  on how  to defeat  the
Nithos god (or  whatever it is). Go
back  to where  the stairs  are and
turn  north,  then  turn  west.  Go
through the first door on the right
and  into  the  next  room  to  get
a bascinet   (best    helmet)   and
a Topaz Sword. There's nothing else
to  do  in  these  two rooms except
look   at  the   sickening  torture
devices  and experiment  tubes with
people  in  them  (yuck).  Exit  to
hallway  and turn  right (west), go
around to the  other side (south to
corner, east)  to a doorway  on the
right  (west) enter  and go  up the
ladder in the next room. At the top
of  the  ladder,  turn  around  and
there's a globe  of your planet, if
you L-click  on it you  will notice
it is an illusion, so R-click on it
and  it  will   open  up,  exposing
a key.  Get the  key and  head back
down  ladder to  the main  hallway.
Turn right and go east down hall to
the last room. In here you will see
a huge machine and a control device
in front  of it. If you  walk up to
the  controls and  turn facing  the
machine  so that  the controls  are
between  you and  the machine,  you
can R-click  on the levers  to move
them.  Bring  all  three  levers to
their  forward   position  and  the
machine   will  fire   up  and   an
electrical  creature will  come out
of  the  charge  going  across  the
lens. He's pretty tough so kill him
and  get  out  of  the room because
more will  come out after  you, but
won't follow  you to the  hall. Now
that  you turned  on the  power, if
you  go back  to the  room with the
three  tubes  with  the  bodies  in
them, one of  them will also attack
you  (optional).   Head  west  down
hall, take the  first right (north)
to  the  end  and  turn right again
(east)  to  the  foggy  room on the
left.  This room  is also optional,
the   creatures    in   there   are
extremely   difficult    and   also
never-ending  numbers of  them, but
there are potions  hidden in secret
panel in the center  of each of the
three walls of  the room (not worth
it though).  Now go to  the gate on
the east wall on  the far west side
of  the level  (if you  look on the
map it's opposite of the stairs you
came  down here  from). Before  you
use the key you got from the planet
to open the gate, make sure you are
at full health,  save your game and
use   the   Talisman   of   Massive
Strength   and   the   Talisman  of
Invulnerability on yourself (and if
you   want   a   cheaters   way  of
defeating the Nithos  demon use the
Talisman  of Basilisk  on yourself.
But try killing  him first, without
using it  to see if  you can defeat
him  on your  own. )  Now enter the
Gate  for the  final confrontation.
The  rest  of  the  game  is mostly
cinematic  sequences  listening  to
Jaren's  evil  scheme,  the  Nithos
creature  absorbing  Jaren,  Zalena
appears  and   attacks  the  Nithos
creature  and  collapses  and  then
your   battle   with   the   Nithos
creature,  and finally  the endgame
after  you  do  defeat  him  of you
picking  up the  fallen Zalena  and
watching the tower crumble.

THE END
