    Undercover
    The other two talismans are in the Hammerite temple, which is heavily guarded, so you're going in disguised as a new disciple of the Hammer. You'll have free access to the temple except for areas marked with an upside down red hammer - if you are caught in one of these places it's bad news for you. Also, do not steal or act suspiciously (see later) while a guard is looking at you. The level is difficult, as access to the talismans is prevented until you activate five separate switches scattered throughout the temple in a five-minute time frame. Then all you have to do is retrieve the two talismans and run out of the temple.

    The central hall in the Hammerite temple.
    Walk down the street until you see the temple entrance on the left. After presenting the application to the guard and opening the gate, make your way forward into the temple, past the first room, and into the next, which serves as a general hall with doors leading off to all the rooms, and also has a large staircase leading to the lower floor. There are two things you're going to need: the main key to the complex and an item called the Wallbuilder's Prayer, which is written on a piece of papyrus. The key is located downstairs - go down, take a right, and then take another right down a long hall. You want the first door on the left (note the red hammer and watch for guards). Go in and shut the door quickly. Use a gas arrow to knock out the priest in the next room and grab his key.
