The
Ruined City
You
begin the mission in a tunnel with a few zombies roaming nearby.
Walk out into the city, turn to the right (N) and enter the small
building on the right. Sneak across the first room and through the
door to a bedroom where a skeleton is lying on the bed. You'll find
2 healing potions lying beside him. Return to the other room, climb
to the upper floor and look under the broken table for a silver
nugget 1 x 50 (50). Climb on top of the north wall and jump from
it over to the slanted roof of the derelict church tower. Climb
through the window opening into the dark grey building. A white
rat is running around here but well... are we afraid of white rats?
NO! Behind the damaged table there's a purse on the floor 1 x 100
(150) and on the bookshelf you can find two coins 2 x 20 (190) and
a statue 1 x 15 (205). Climb up the ladder to the attic where there's
an invisibility potion hidden in a chest. Climb back down, leave
through the same window and jump across to a ladder that leads down
to the ground. Under the fallen church tower roof there's a silver
nugget 1 x 50 (255). Climb up the ladder again and jump back onto
the church tower roof. Run across the roof towards the church and
jump onto the fallen down house. Climb through the wall gap into
the house behind. On the bed lies the rotting body of a Hammerite.
Frob a switch on the floor at the head of the bed and a banner opens.
You'll find the Church key, a gold coinstack 1 x 25 (280), a copper
coinstack 1 x 5 (285) and a purse 1 x 100 (385). Leave the house
again, jump to the ground and head into the house on the right (E)
side. Climb the ladder (oh no, another ladder!) to steal 5 moss
arrows from the table. Leave this house and head over to the Church.
The Hammerite Church and the Portal Room
Unlock
the door with the Church key and enter. There's a wine bottle 1
x 50 (435) behind the front column on the right. Behind the altar
you'll find a switch which opens a secret door. Go through it, climb
down the ladder and enter the portal room. Help yourself to the
artifacts 1 x 150, 1 x 75, 4 x 20 (740) that are lying around then
go to the water basin in the middle of the room. There are 5 devices
for the red stones you have in your inventory. Place each stone
on the correct device to activate the portal then enter it.
Mereska
Walk
down the stairs and leave the building. On the east side of the
building opposite you will find a small tunnel. Follow it but be
cautious as you leave the tunnel. A fiery vampire lady awaits you
and it's better to give her a wide berth. Try to avoid close combat
at any rate and sneak around her into the house on the right. Cut
the banner with your sword and climb into the small room behind
it. You find a necklace 1 x 200 (940) and a tiara 1 x 125 (1065).
Walk in the same direction as the vampire lady (of course not together
with her) and at the end jump north to a platform. A dagger 1 x
12 (1077) is stuck into the skeleton. Jump back to the ledge, retrace
your steps partway and jump onto the ledge to the south of the building
you entered first. Jump across to the next ledge then down onto
the roof of the house in the lava lake. Enter the house through
the hole in its roof and you'll find fire arrows on the stairs.
Climb back onto the roof using the crates, jump over to the rock
in the east corner and then to next fallen building. Mantle up into
the archway in the rock face to the right. Turn right (S) and enter
the study. There are two copper coinstacks 2 x 5 (1087) sitting
on the desk. Take them and head into the next room (with the little
lava lake) and steal an artifact from beside the armchair 1 x 20
(1107). Leave this room and slip into the small treasury on the
left. Grab several artifacts 1 x 150, 1 x 75, 6 x 20 (1452). Cross
to the library opposite and look in the left corner for an artifact
1 x 150 (1602). Continue along the hallway to the next room where
you'll find another artifact on the desk 1 x 20 (1622). Leave the
library, pass by the stairs and enter the small living room. There
are some bones lying on the floor and beside them is a tiny gold
ring 1 x 100 (1722). Now head back to the stairs and go up to the
next floor. Turn right at the top of the stairs and into a small
room where you'll find a chest containing a coin 1 x 5 (1727). Farther
along the hallway, in the room on the left, steal an artifact from
the corner 1 x 150 (1877). Walk along the corridor and don't forget
to grab 2 red vases 2 x 50 (1977) which stand in the niches on the
right and one gold vase 1 x 100 (2077) on the left. At the end of
the hallway, walk into the caves. Make your way through them and
look in the last cave for a gem 1 x 100 (2177) sitting on the blue
rock to the west.(It's also blue, so look closely.) Use the pickaxe
to get another gem 1 x 50 (2227). Climb down the ...yes, exactly...
ladder and frob the switch.
The Ancient Administration Palace
You
are a tidy guy so first clear the table. These fine gold plates
16 x 50 (3027) are wasted in a ruin like this so take them with
you. Pick open the door to the right and steal the spectacles that
are sitting on the desk 1 x 50 (3077). (The lever under the desk
opens and closes the secret door you entered this area through.)
Return to the dining room and open the other door. Walk along the
corridor and in the middle room on the left there's a purse 1 x
100 (3177) sitting on one of the desks. Go through the door at the
end of the corridor and walk down the stairs. Follow the hall and
walk through the red curtain on the right. Beside the bones there's
a tiny ring 1 x 100 (3277) lying on the floor. Frob the torch to
open a secret door. Walk through and upstairs.
The Cathedral of Mereska
Isn't
this a great view? After you have enough of gazing at the architecture
you can enter the cathedral and walk upstairs to the gallery above
the entrance. On the last pew to the left there's a serpentile torc
1 x 350 (3627). Now head to the Cathedral's fire, have a look around
to be sure that no evil creatures are in sight, and then throw the
Night Falcon into the fire. It changes colour and both side gates
will open. Pick up the Falcon again, Walk through one of the gates,
go upstairs and enter the portal room. Mission completed...
(Overall
loot: 3627/3627)
