Slight hint:
In the same room you found the sword in, there's a tile with engraved text on it - try out frobbing it to see an author's hint and use some deduction afterwards

Evident hint:
You are getting killed by the gaze of the statues. Turn them so that they're no longer facing your way. First one is easy, but in order to do same with the second one, you have to find a button behind the pillar. You'll get an idea of what to do next. Upon getting the statue problem out of your way, you'll be able to reach throne-end of the room and open a chest - the lever you're searching for is contained in there

Mikko, I never found that button. since you really dont need the lever in the beginning as there is another way to come through the door from the opposite side, I used the fire talisman later to shoot fire at the statue and this ended up spinning the statue in such a way that I was able to safely cross and get the lever. By that time the door was already open as I opened it from the other side

[Unkillable Cat]

... and I thought the Fire Talisman was just a harmless bookend on a shelf.

Clearly I haven't explored hard enough.

[RippedPhreak]

Well, that one you saw IS harmless.

[Soul Tear]

I haven't been here for a long time, but I couldn't pass by. This brushing is fantastic, lots of difficult design decisions. Great use of fog. I'm sure the gameplay is also good, I'll look for some free time to explore it

RippedPhreak, you're really cool

I never found that button ... or a useful fire talisman .. but I managed to jump from the far left pedestal to the altar area without the statue seeing me - didn't really feel that was really what the author intended!

Brillliant mission RippedPhreak - enjoyed several hours completing it and determined to do it without reference to the thread. Still 2,700 loot to find

[pwl]

This is a really a great mission!! but I am stuck in the room where you turn the deadly statues they both turn in same direction I turned the one on the left to face wall but I can't get the other to turn without getting killed What am I missing???

Edit: I didn't read the posy above me going to find the fire talisman

Got through it the Water Talisman works too

[pwl]

Help please I can't find the third stone I have Amethyst and Emerald
I am currently in the Keeper area

Edit: Nevermind I had been down in that room several times but didn't look up

Thanks

Where did you get the fire and water talismans?

I see the fire talisman in a bookshelf in the same room where the staff is displayed, top floor of the big mage building. But it doesn´t see frobable.

I don´t have any clue where the water talisman is.

explore one of the lava rooms where you have to some mantling more closely for the fire talisman

have not found the water talisman yet but I will

Thank you, found them.

For anyone else who need a spoiler for the fire talisman:

If you go from the mages castle (furthest building) back into the caverns, go right. You will pass two lava rooms before the cave has an opening at the cliff where you can enter the castle via the balcony. In said first lava room, there is a place to mantle onto the right. Look up.

Water talisman spolier:

In the same cave, search the pond with the waterfall closely. A classic video game secret.

is there a earth and air talisman, also i only found one area to use the keystones at the keeper castle to get that tiara on table, where else is there to use it?

[RippedPhreak]

No. And just experiment.

Part of the reason for the stones is just because of the mission's size, for example if you realized you need something that is far away, you could drop a stone, run to the item, then blink back quickly. I can only think of three places where the stones are truly necessary to find loot, but I figured people will get creative with them.

You could get past the killer statues for example.

There is another place in the keeper castle and you will need to use them to return after using a one way movement to reach some loot elsewhere.

Finished this amazing mission I enjoyed every minute of it!!!!!

Thanks RippedPhreak you are becoming a great mission creator!

Just finished, I really enjoyed this! The last "scene" hit me right in my feels :') . Loved exploring this one, I'm a look in every corner person, it was right up my alley. Very pretty in parts.

[Kin]

What a masterpiece! I need a clue for the "name code" that I assume it will be used in the library to open the panel with the lock.

[downwinder]

kin i can help find the room with want in a case above a bed and read plack below wand name is random, the rest you got on how to do it

Useful for getting one of the powerstones as well, otherwise you need to find a big boulder.

I already did this, but the name had an "z" in it that I could not find in the first floor of the library.

Must have been blind. Thanks!

or a heavy bag of sand...

[RippedPhreak]

Or the head of a broken statue...or a heavy hammer.
