Hub 4: Castle of Grief (map)

The Castle of Grief is the first map in the hub of the same name.

The maps you can reach from the Castle of Grief are Hub 4: Forsaken Outpost and Hub 4: Gibbet.

A short guide...
You begin in a small room located in the north end.

Once outside the starting room you are on the front door, north entrance, to the castle.

Let me explain the map first.
The castle is protected by a wall running between five guard towers located roughly in North West (NW), West (W), South (S), East (E) and North East (E). There are two openings in the wall – one in the north end (center) and one in the south (west corner). On both sides of both entrances are lifts to castle wall. (not active yet..)

Inside the walls you will find four (4) buildings – I’ll call them
 * The Tower – round building, located in the middle
 * The Clockhouse – U-shaped, located in south west corner (entrance from south)
 * The Firefloor – L-shaped, located in south east corner (entrance from north)
 * The pillar house – located West

Killing the monsters as you go is of course assumed whit out separate statement.

The guide
Between you and a castle is a small “river” that has a wooden bridge in the middle. To raise the stairs you need to go into water on both sides of the bride. (Stalkers lurk in the water) There are pull switches on both sides. Pulling them both raises the stairs so you can enter the castle. You are at the north entrance. On either side of the entrance there are lifts to castle wall. (The lift isn’t working yet)

Your first mission is to activate the clock in the clockhouse. To do this you need four (4) clock gears. Next I will explain how to collect these. – Order isn’t important. (or I haven’t considered to be)


 * 1) 	Look inside the pillar house – there you see the gear immediately. Taking the clock gear activates a trap as the pillars drops.
 * 2) 	In the middle of the tower building is platform where the clock gear is. Taking it makes the pillars shoot. (Running through seems to work fine.
 * 3) 	Go outside the walls through the south entrance (located in the south west corner). No you must go around the walls on both sides and activate four (4) moon buttons. When done return to the Tower. In the north end a ledge has lowered with the clock gear.
 * 4) 	Inside the tower building there is a moon button on a ledge in the east wall. Pushing it activates the lifts to castle wall level. Go on the wall and go to each of the five (5) guard towers. In each there is inside a wolf face button. After all five (5) are activated enter the firefloor building. A stair has lowered to the Clock gear. Taking it activates to floor to shoot fireballs.

With all four clock gears enter the clockhouse and open the gear places – insert the four (4) clock gears to corresponding places (space works) – when all four (4) have been placed the clock begins to work and you get a message that in the tower a ledge has lowered., with a goodie. Riding the ledge up leads to a teleport switch to the map Hub 4: Gibbet.

The other exit from the castle of grief to Hub 4: Forsaken Outpost Is located at the south east corner
