[back: Rukashan’s crypt] | [next: Busipah’s mausoleum]
It’s time for a quick and short excursion in the open air. Look at all these treasure maps and codes we’ve accumulated so far: we need to dig up some chests!
Walkthrough:
- Go all the way up until you reach the dungeons’ exit (use the shorcuts)
- First puzzle: remember those pieces of code on the wall texts in Busipah’s Mausoleum center room? Just follow the instructions:
- Starting from the stairs’ exit at (a)
- Move forward 4
- Strafe left 3
- Move forward 5
- Strafe right 1
- If you’re wondering how you were supposed to know these directions have to be followed in this specific order, the answer is: you were’nt. You can only deduce that from the configuration of the ground in this area (obstacles). As a matter of fact, if you try another combination, you would stumble on a rocky wall or on a tree on your way
- Unearth the CRYSTAL SHIELD (b)
- Remember Havotep’s riddle?
See the tiniest of all willows
Right outside, being watched by crows?
…
Want to know where I hid my boots?
To find out, back to the roots! - Have a look in the sky: there is a whole bunch of crows flying in circles over the tiny dry willow at (c). Destroy the tree and dig under it to obtain the LURKER BOOTS: you should now possess Havotep’s complete outfit
- Jump into the water at (d) and use the STAINLESS STEEL KEY in the lock (e) to open the grate
- Open the treasure chest, pick up the BRONZE BRACE and quickly exit the water using the ladder (f)
- Prepare yourself for some fishing: go in the water again (stay close to the ladder) and try to grab some SILVER ROACH with your bare hands. 2 of them should be fine
- Put the EMPTY FLASK at the bottom of the pond. Wait 1 second. Take it back: you now have a FLASK OF WATER
- Climb back up
- Unfold the treasure map you found earlier in Rukashan’s Maze of Chimeras:
- It’s pointing at a tile located between a rock and a grove, south from the dry tree where we found the BRANCH in the early game, in the western part of the map
- Dig up the MIRROR CUISSE (g)
- Unfold the treasure map you found earlier in Rukashan’s Cube Puzzle room:
- The drawing looks faded, but we can still notice a treasure chest between a bridge and a grove: this points out to the northern part of this map
- Dig up the chest (h) to obtain the ROPE
- Equip the ROPE and use it on the pit at (i): you land in a cave full of surprises!
- Harvest everything in the area (don’t forget the ETHERWEEDS underwater): those herbs might come in handy later on. You should collect:
- 3 pieces of CRYSTAL FLOWER
- 3 pieces of BLACKMOSS
- 3 pieces of ETHERWEED
- 2 pieces of BORRA
- 2 pieces of BLOODDROP CAP
- 2 pieces of FALCONSKYRE
- Exit via the southern teleporter to emerge at (j)
- Go all the way back down to Rukashan’s Maze of Chimeras (III):
- In the Maze, climb up the ladder located in the back of the room on your right
- Beware of the XELOROID in the upper left corner of the Maze (!): pass as quickly as you can (use your “strafe right” ability)
- Follow the magical bridge and press the wall button to make a further section of magical bridge appear (f)
- Walk on the top of the library and pass the door (B)
- Standing on the tile at (¤), let some useless stuff fall down in the pit to toggle the pressure plate at the bottom of this level and trigger a secret door behind you
- Pick up the MIRROR GAUNTLETS, Rukashan’s last piece of outfit
- Go to the eastern end of the corridor
- Pull the chain to open the grate and use the ROPE to access the secret back room of Tjalafez’ Chapel of Love in the lower level (Busipah’s mausoleum)
