Catacombs (3rd)
Items: 23
Kills: 24
Hopefully you're now ready to enter the Catacombs.
Final Hurdle
One final task remains. There's a strange container in the room with the formely sinking floor. There's a square on the floor back in the chamber with the broken pots. Watch out when you get it there. Several things will open, and you'll have some trouble on your hands.
Water Fight
You can't fight the water elemental. You have to lead it to it's destruction. Since these are water elementals, leading them to water isn't the solution, and there aren't any fire elementals around to combat them for you. There are small statues that will sublimate them on contact.
Magic Remodeling
Slide down the the pole and run down the hall. You'll be trapped in a small room. Pull the lever when all the rumbling is over and you're in for a surprise. The hallway is gone and in its place a great big sunlit hall.
Getting Down
Now you need to get down to the floor. That's what those two ropes are for. The ropes will get you to a ledge that will lead you down. From there you will have a couple of choices. There are passageways that lead out of the hall to the north, south and west. The western passageway will exit this level. You could take the north or south passage at this point, but the hints below are for the southern passage.
Splash Down
Follow the southern passage to it's end, and you'll land in a pool of water. You need to make your way from one corner of the room to the opposite corner. You'll need to throw two levers along the way to make that trip possible. Along the way you'll have to deal with a couple of skeletons and a water elemental. Don't worry, there's a falcon statue nearby.
Watch Your Step
Beyond the pool room you'll find yourself on the upper ledge of an extremely tall room. The first of four identical artifacts are here for your taking. From here, you can climb up a ladder to the chamber above.
To The Bat Pole
Deal with another skeleton, and you'll have the second of four artifacts. A climb up the pole in that room and you'll be on your way back to the big hall, where you're faced with the problem of getting back down to the ground again. Look around, you'll see a safe and slow method to descend to the ground. While you're at it you'll probably also spot a few enemies to deal with.
Northern Exposure
After collecting two artifacts from the southern wing of the catacombs, you're ready to enter the northern passage. After enough wandering around in the northern wing and dealing with a few skeletons, you'll find a scalable wall to climb up to the upper level. Make your way across the ledges, climb up the ladder on the far wall and the third artifact will be in reach.
Matching Set
Make your way across the upper platforms back across the room, and you will be able to climb up a shaft to the fourth artifact.
Side Track
When you've collected all four artifacts, you can exit back to the coastal ruins just for fun, or you can head back to the great hall and exit through the western passage.
