Secrets[edit]

  1. In the starting room, lower the southeast wall to get a silver shield. (sector 358)
  2. In the central hall, open the south door and use the switch in the room. Leave and head west, then use the wall behind the torch to open the door to the west. This leads to a phoenix rod and flame orbs. (sector 95)
  3. In the central hall, open the south door and lower a wall to the east to get a Tome of Power. (sector 364)
  4. Open the yellow door at the east end and use the central column to lower a Morph Ovum and a firemace. (sector 417)
  5. Open the green door and you will find two columns before the bridge. Go behind the east column and use the wall to find a switch, which will open a wall to the west. Take this path to get lesser runes. The door at the end leads to the hellstaff. (sector 367)
  6. After entering the blue key area, go back to the starting point and head east. Lower either column to get a mystic urn and a Time Bomb of the Ancients. (sector 423)
