You'll find a rock, but more importantly, a small rock button on the right wall that will open a secret door into the cell we couldn't get the items from.īack in the main chamber, there are 2 pressure switches, both need to be held down by something. Don't worry about the other items you can't reach, we'll get them right away.

There are some items you can grab through the bars in the center one, including the key. Items Found: Compass, Dagger, Doublet, Iron Basinet, Iron Key, Machete, Mole Jerky, Peasant's Cap, Rock (2), Silk HoseĪ Giant Snail roams these first jail cells, and all of the cages are locked, with no levers here to open them. Grab your torch back as you leave the secret, and pull the lever to open the gate. Place a torch into it to access the secret passage. To the left of it there is a torch sconce. You will notice some writing on the wall in this room. With the Iron Key in hand, head back east and through the locked door we passed earlier. The compass is a must if you are playing through the game in old school mode since it will show you the direction you are facing. Once you got all 3 of them, continue on and grab the Machete, Compass and Iron Key. It is also a good idea to take Small Herders on in open spaces so you can hit them then strafe to the side to avoid their poison attacks. If you are having problems, kill one, then close the door and wait for your party to heal before going for the next one. The regular Herder you can take your time and kill as normal, but the Small Herders will tear you party to pieces if you don't watch out. Here you will encounter a Herder, and 2 Smaller, more vicious, Herders. You will find another door with a chain beside it. Score all the loot from this area, then continue on west. Grab the rock in the alcove to your left, then pull the lever and take the right path. To the east you will find a locked door, so since you have no key, continue down the south, then west. After defeating the beast, continue down the corridor, opening up the gate with the chain, until you come across a split in the path. If you were already there, take the path to south and to another Large Snail. The transporter to the first level is no longer active though. If you didn't take the dive to get the items, you can snag the loot from the passage to the left. The entrance of this level will start you right beside the 2nd Pit Trap from the last level. This is a great level to learn how to hack then strafe to avoid damage from creatures that can damage your entire party in one attack. This second level turns up the heat very quickly as you get introduced to some of the most annoying monsters in the game.
