Through the Portal
Continue following the blood trail through the caverns. The path will slop upward; look for a vine arrow near the beginning of the slope.
Follow the trail up and around. You'll soon encounter an ape-like guard. You can kill it if you want, but it's best just to avoid these creatures and knock them out when needed.
The path will lead you to a heavily guarded tunnel. Extinguish the torches or use a noisemaker arrow to distract the guards. Knock them all out. Search the two paths leading away from the tunnel - both contain crystals for you to loot.
These flickering lights are actually a bridge. |
You'll soon come to some flickering lights across a small pond. It's a bridge - cross it (you can also find some vine arrows in a vine growing up the wall). A will o' the wisp will appear and begin leading you. In the next tunnel, read the letter. Exit the tunnel and go right - watch out for the ape guards to the left. There are some crystals near a rock to the right.
Follow the wisp until you come to a stairway leading up. Go up into the trees. Follow the walkway forward. Read the letter, then turn around and take the bridge to the left. You'll come upon some apemen talking about "summer" and "winter." When they're done talking, knock them both out. Take the stairs down to the area marked "summer" on the map. There's a good deal of loot to be found here.
Go back up to the trees. Follow the walkway around to "spring." Jump down the jutting rocks. There are two apemen near a fire. Knock them out and take the fire arrow from the fire. Search this area for loot; there are crystals and some masks on a rock. Once you have 900 loot from this level, you will get (and have finished) a bonus mission. Now, jump up the rocky ledges back to the trees.
Shoot a fire arrow to melt the icicles or just knock them away with your sword. |
Follow the walkway and read any letters you find. These will explain why Mosley was involved with the pagans. When you come to the winter area, there will be two exits. One is blocked by ice, the other is an icy slope with a vine hanging down. Climb down the vine and search the area for loot. Climb back up and use your sword on the ice to knock it away from the second passage.
Follow the trail of blood and watch out for the strange creatures here. You'll come to the courier's body and learn the identity of the letters' recipient.
