The Ice Grotto (E2M4)

 

When exiting the start cave, watch out for the ice, it can get slippery as hell. Shoot the Gargoyles on the right then turn left and then right again. In the distance, you'll see a moat filled with molten rock and battlements beyond it.

Look out for a Morph Ovum. Aim for it, and run. After grabbing it, cross the small excess of the moat on your left and grab the Crossbow from the cave. Run back to where you got the egg and get the Tome of Power from the cave nearby.

     
 

Now you're sufficiently equipped to clean out the whole area this side of the moat. Take care with those Weredragons though, if you just skate around like a 5-year-old you'll most probably slide full into their fireballs.

At the other end of the area there's a temple. To enter it, get the Yellow Key, it's in a crevice in the vicinity.

     
 

Once in the temple, run up the stairs to the altar and grab the Phoenix Rod. Not only will there be more Gargoyles to battle, but also a teleport will open behind you, on the left of the gate.

Jump into the teleport, if you're lucky you'll telefrag the Disciple up there, if not make short work of him or he'll do the same to you.

     
 

Before jumping down, look around and find the stained glass window. If you aim right, you can grab the big Phoenix Orb while jumping down.

Get back to the temple. On the right side of the gate, another teleport opened. Jump in and all is the same on this side, with the exception of a Green Key.

     
 

Head back to the beginning of the map and enter the Green Door. The teleport will take you up the battlements you saw earlier on.

Take out all foes up there first, then jump down and take care of the rest in the courtyard. Watch out for the Disciple shooting you from the house on your left.

     
 

Walk along the path between the 2 houses. In the distance, you'll see a fountain with a torch on its top (anyone's guess why it's still burning). Grab the torch and enter the large building ahead of you.

     
 

On the far left side of the room, wooden stairs lead up to the upper floor. Run up the stairs and enter the long corridor. Turn left, then left again and enter the room on your right. Throw the switch.

The rest of the building is worth exploring, you can get a lot of cool stuff like half a dozen Time Bombs, a Bag of Holding, a ShadowSphere and ammo, but you don't have to do anything else here if you are keen on getting out of the Grotto as fast as possible.

     
 

Go back to the house from where a Disciple shot you earlier on. Its doors are now open wide, so just walk in and grab the Blue Key. Once you touch it, the doors of the neighbouring house open as well, get in there for the Wings of Wrath. Once you enter that house, a secret room opens a in the same house where the Blue Key was, revealing a teleport that takes you up to the battlements.

     
 

Now that you got the Blue Key it's time to unlock that door and walk up the stairs to a noisy encounter with an Iron Lich. Blast it, grab the Hellstaff (or the other way around), and follow the corridor to the exit door. A last Disciple to be stomped out of existence and Catacombs, here we come...

     
 

In case you want to see The Glacier (the secret map of this Episode), don't exit yet. Either use a Chaos Device, the Wings of Wrath or the teleport in the Blue Key house to get back to the other side of the moat. Go to the temple. Behind the altar, a new door opened, revealing a Disciple, a Mystic Urn and another exit teleport. This one takes you directly to The Glacier.
