Essentials
There are three keys in the level. You can get red and yellow keys at any time but to get the blue key you have to possess the red one.

Red key

 * 1) From the starting point open the door before you to get to a courtyard with a blood-fountain in the middle.
 * 2) Go to the end of the courtyard and open the door to get inside.
 * 3) Go left to the western alcove then go straight upstairs.
 * 4) From the room with four red fire sticks go forth towards the end of the long corridor and press the skull button to the left to lower the platform in middle of the courtyard with the red key on it.
 * 5) You cannot leap down from the balcony. Open the wooden door to get outside. Leap down to the courtyard and before the platform is risen grab the red skull key.

Blue key

 * 1) Enter the building again and head to the eastern alcove then to the library.
 * 2) In the library go upstairs and then to the very end of the long corridor.
 * 3) Now get outside to the fort. Enter the door with the skull on the red brick (it requires red key) to get to a small room with the blue skull key. Grab the key.

Yellow key

 * 1) Inside the building head to the western alcove then to the left.
 * 2) Proceed until you reach a balcony with a lost soul and several items to collect then proceed again along the corridor and head to left.
 * 3) Enter the room with a lava pit in middle then to your left along the corridor.
 * 4) In the room where another balcony and a fireplace are enter the fireplace and open the secret door in it.
 * 5) Press the gargoyle button. If you try to get out of the room you will be teleported out of the fireplace.
 * 6) Return to the lava pit, leap down, enter the alcove and use a teleporter.
 * 7) Now you are on the top of the bookcase in the library. The yellow key lies on the very south-eastern bookcase. To get it you have to walk on the several bookcases.

Leading to the exit

 * 1) Now when all three keys are collected you have to make your way to the exit. Inside the building go one of two staircases. Open a red door.
 * 2) Go along the long corridor and open the blue door in the end.
 * 3) In the marble room enter the last door that requires the yellow key.
 * 4) Now you are in the red cave with two columns. In order to lower a metallic platform before you four buttons located in the various parts of cave must be pressed one by one. First, go to the north-west part and use two green lifts. Press the button in the alcove and beware the ceiling crusher. Do the same with north-western, then north-eastern and, finnaly, south-eastern parts.
 * 5) When the forementioned metallic platform lowers go up the stairs to the place where a black throne is. Walk around the throne and press the button in the back of it to open the door with exit room. Enter the teleporter to finish this level.
