Walkthrough And Strategy Guide

The Lava Pits (E2M2)

 

You start on a ledge overlooking a large cave filled with lava. Jump down and race in the direction of the small isle where you see the crossbow. You can collect the ammo from the other isles as well. Watch out for the color of the isles, the yellowish ones are OK but the paler ones will sink once you step upon them.

     
 

Head over to the backside of the cave. Run around and shoot all Sabreclaws. At the start of the lava flow you'll find the yellow key. Where the lava disappears down a crack, you can jump down for some extra monsters and artifacts. Use the found Wings of Wrath to fly back up.

     
 

Fly up to the lava pool over the place where the yellow key was for another artifact. Fly around above the perimeter of the pool until you hear a door opening nearby. Jump down and enter the new small cave. Grab the Shadowsphere and turn around for a Disciple surprise.

     
 

Head over the lava pool to the opening you not yet entered. There are 2 yellow doors, guarded by Sabreclaws. Dispatch them and enter. Go up the stairs and throw the switch to raise another stairway. Go up the stairs. When the great door opens, another one opens behind you at the point where the switch was. In that new cave you'll find a Dragon Claw.

     
 

Get out and turn right. Pass the green door and walk down the hallway, then turn right. There are 2 doors, an open corridor and a secret door opening from this area. If you're low on ammo or health, the room behind the door on your left is the only one you absolutely need, housing a switch opening a house nearby. Throw it. The secret door is in one of the corners, marked by an eagle. Behind it are a couple of Disciples and a Hellstaff.

     
 

Down the corridor you arrive to a room overlooking the lava pit you found the yellow key in. There's a red banner on one of the walls, it's a secret door. Entering that room opens a secret room and entering that one another one. You'll find the usual stuff (Disciples and artifacts).

     
 

Retrace your steps back to the green door. Go on until the house. On the far side, there's an opening. There's also a Ring of Invulnerability nearby, it might come handy for the next battle (not that you'll really need it). You should have by now at least 2 Tomes, so activate one, as there'll be a lot of Undead Warriors, 2 of them Ghosts. Once you disposed of them all, grab the Green Key and head back to the Green Door.

     
 

There's a switch in the exit room. Throw it to gain access to the exit teleport for a short time. But don't enter it yet. Run along the wall to the other corner, and enter the hidden cave. Go around the columns to the wooden wall section. When you near it, some of the columns behind you will lower and you get company. Once their short lives are over, open the wooden panel and step into the teleport. You get back to the raised lava pool you've already cleaned out.

     
 

Jump down and run over the lava to the yellow door. Climb the stairs and go by the house, to the point you got the Ring earlier on. There's a new cave opening now. Activate a Tome of Power and switch to the Gauntlets (you can find them in the house, right behind the green key).

     
 

There's an Iron Lich in this secret cave. It'd be a complete waste of ammo to use any weapon, just suck him dry with your Gauntlets. If you don't let loose (thus stopping your regeneration process), you won't have any probs. And for the armor you might have lost, there's a Falcon Shield nearby, giving you full armor again.

Time to get back to the green door and pull the switch again. This time it's for real, step into the exit teleport.
