Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
This level requires two visits, one to get the bronze-in-steel gear, and a second to collect the Glaive Seal after using the gear.
Clock gear[edit]
You begin in a garden, surrounded by centaurs, brown chaos serpents and stalkers (along with stalker bosses and slaughtaurs on hard skill levels). Open the door in front of you to enter a room with two more centaurs, then continue north through a second door to reach a metal bridge defended by multiple slaughtaurs. Cross the bridge to a third door and go through it to enter a courtyard with afrits and stalker bosses, but do not go down the stairs to the courtyard yet; instead, go west through a doorway and open the door immediately to your left, then follow the passage past a stalker to find a moon switch on the back wall.
Press the switch, then go back to the courtyard and climb up the angled stairs in the center to enter a dark room with a second moon switch, which will open the wooden door at the north end of the courtyard. Go through this door to enter a storage room with more afrits, then jump on the barrels in the north-west corner to climb into a small antechamber with the bronze-in-steel gear. After taking the gear, return to the starting point and climb up the rocks in the south-west corner to find the portal back to Nave.
Glaive Seal[edit]
Back in Nave, place the gear in the mechanism closest to the Dark Watch portal, then return to this level. Go back to the courtyard to find that steps have risen on the east side, which go up to a room with centaurs and stained-glass windows. Break the window on the north wall to reveal a door, go through it and push past some afrits to reach a ledge with a mystic urn and a moon switch. Press the switch, then go back down to the courtyard and climb the steps to the entrance door, then open the smaller door east of the entrance and follow the narrow passage to a now-open stone door. Enter the next room to face a slaughtaur and centaur, then enter the teleporter in the north-east corner to go to a cage near the starting area that contains the Glaive Seal and a portal to Cloaca.
Other points of interest[edit]
After the second door, enter the western doorway and press the wall in front of you that has manacles on it to lower a lift, which goes up to a ledge overlooking the metal bridge; if you have Boots of Speed, activate them then make a running jump to the ledge on the opposite side to get some dragonskin bracers. Back on the western ledge, step into the wall recess between the torches to go down to a hidden room with some ettins. Check the north wall for another manacle and open it, then open three more manacle walls that block your path to uncover an Icon of the Defender. Back in the ettin room, enter the neighboring room to the north that has barrels, then open another manacle wall here to find a passage leading to an Amulet of Warding.
In the storage room at the north end of the map, open the dragon wall behind the eastern barrels to find three (four on easy skill levels) units of combined mana and a Krater of Might.
