You find that the Horn of Quintus is located in the Bonehoard, a rather nasty set of catacombs populated by undead types itching for human flesh. On the hard and expert level you'll also be looking for the Mystic's Soul and the Mystic's Heart, again located within the catacombs. Tip: There are quite a few traps in the catacombs, which are set off either by activating a pressure plate or grabbing an item. Pressure plates can be avoided by throwing objects on them - the object then activates the trap. But if you can't see a pressure plate anywhere, the trap is probably activated by picking something up, so make sure you move out of the way immediately after grabbing an item. Go through the open area, avoid the body, climb down the rope, and follow the tunnel to the ceiling of the next room, which is bordered by wooden planks and has a rope hanging down to the ground. You can avoid going down here and move across the diagonal plank to the room beyond, which ends in a platform overlooking a second chamber. Shoot a rope arrow halfway across and jump onto it. Climb down and go through the passageway on the left and up the stairs. You'll come to a circular junction with a separate corridor leading to the left, ending in a cul-de-sac with a holy water fountain. Following the circular path to the right will bring you to a mausoleum of sorts and a corridor on the left that leads down to a second mausoleum. Head down that corridor and climb down the rope on the left leading down through an opening in the floor. The corridor goes off in two directions, both leading to open areas with zombies laying around. One room is a dead end with a pool of water - go for a swim and head all the way down the tunnel, past the branching tunnel on the right. Swim up and you're in a small chamber with a ladder leading down one end and two chests with spear traps in the other. Head down the ladder and move forward quickly, because as soon as you reach the bottom a boulder will come crashing down the length of the ladder. Now head down the corridor in the chamber beyond. Next: Down in the Bonehoard, continued
