Secrets[edit]

  1. Enter the building west of the portal and climb the steps. Go through the east wall while on the steps to get Gauntlets of the Necromancer. (sector 609)
  2. In the northeast area, find the switch at the west end and flip it to lower the east wall. This has ethereal arrows and a Tome of Power. (sector 558)
  3. At the west side of the north docks is a large wall. Lower it from the east side to get crystal vials. (sector 426)
  4. Open the yellow door in the middle building and take the teleporter to teleport to the east, which has an energy orb, mace spheres, a firemace, ethereal arrows, and a map scroll. (sector 341)
  5. Jump southwest from the green key through the wall to get energy orbs and a torch. (sector 233)
  6. In the green key room, go to the southwest pew and use the switch to the east. This opens the southeast window. After doing this, leave through the northeast door, then take the lift up. Jump out the west window, over a tree, and back to the green key room, which opens the wall to the north. This leads to a hellstaff, greater runes, and a mystic urn. (sector 604)
