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.
