Secrets

 * 1) Leave the starting hall and use the torch to your left, which opens the door west of the start. This room contains Might of Tysonius. (sector 1976)
 * 2) In the southwest hall, head all the way to the northwest end and use the ring on the wall to lower the wall to the west. This area has Timebombs of the Ancients, Lesser Runes, and a Morph Ovum. (sector 2023)
 * 3) In the hall at the east end with the Mystic Urn, head east to the Enchanted Shield and use the north wall to find a teleporter. The area you come to has a Map Scroll and another Mystic Urn. (sector 805)
 * 4) In the central room, when the side walls open, head to the west side and use the bookshelf behind the southwest column. Head north and through the door after opening it and open the door to the east. This leads to a puzzle room with Timebombs of the Ancients. (sector 3635)
 * 5) In Secret #4, press both of the switches at the south wall, which removes the bars and reveals platforms that lead to a wall. This wall opens and reveals a puzzle room. Your first goal here is to get to the switch in the northwest corner, which means raising the platforms there so that you can climb in the middle and head northwest across them. Return to Secret #4 and press the switches on the east wall. You need to press the uppermost switch once, the middle switch twice, and the lowermost switch three times. Return to the puzzle room and you can get the Torch in the northeast corner and the switch there. This switch raises the water level. Return to Secret #4, then use the right switch on the north wall (which will raise the center platform in the puzzle room). On the east wall, press the uppermost switch three times, the middle switch twice, and the lowermost switch once. Head back to the puzzle room and you can use the platforms to get to the middle and the switch at the south end. Once you use that switch, the lightning barrier in Secret #4 will be gone, and you can enter the teleporter. This takes you to a Mystic Urn in the southeast area of the map. (sector 446)
 * 6) Leave Secret #5 directly to the east and use the lift there to head up. Head east and south to reach the secret exit. (sector 4079)
 * 7) Return to the hall that has the entrance to Secret #4 and head north. Use the west wall for the floor to lower. Obtain a Wings of Wrath here. (sector 750)
 * 8) Return to the northwest end of the map and use the Wings of Wrath to fly up and west to a Tome of Power. (sector 4696)
