Secrets[edit]

  1. In the central building, climb the steps going west and head north of them. Use the northeast shelf to find a quartz flask, a pile of mace spheres, a firemace, and a switch. (sector 318)
  2. In the room behind the blue doors, head to the west side and use the east wall to get lesser runes and a shadowsphere. (sector 322)
  3. In the south courtyard, go through the north wall under the arch to find a quiver of ethereal arrows, Time Bombs of the Ancients, and a mystic urn. (sector 324)
  4. In the central building, in the green-floored area, head to the northwest and find the switch. Use it, then quickly run south, past a shelf, out the window, and further south to the teleporter. This takes you to the outer courtyard where you can head all the way to the map scroll. (sector 443)
