Essentials[edit]
You begin in the spider-shaped enclosure containing all the weapons except for the firemace, and lots of artifacts and ammo. Collect all the items you need, including the Wings of Wrath on the red trident in the center, then activate the Wings and fly over the trident to lower the outer arena, revealing a group of maulotaurs—three on yellowbellies-r-us skill level or lower, six on bringest them oneth, or eight on smite-meister or higher. Kill all the maulotaurs to lower eight teleporters at the ends of the spider’s legs, then step on any teleporter to end the episode and the game.
