After you search, follow the path around killing skeletons as you go . One of them will drop a shimmering key which is used to unlock the way down. After going all the down, open the west door first.
You can wade all west, then all south, then three east. Your shield’s won’t die. Pull lever to go south to kill the king.
¶ Pops:
- ghost of Geoffrey Whitehelm (and possibly the other ghosts): Silvery Helm
- long dead king pops: cloak clasp, black wand (fireball), Dusky-black Bastard Sword (Bastard Sword 'Blackblade') And the key to open the door south.
If you for some reason decide to venture off the perimeter, you will probably be pulled under water. You have to defeat the crypt dweller before you can swim to the surface. - Ancient crypt guardian pops calf-length kilt, two-handed flamberge, warrior’s shoulder sash (ancient shoulder sash).
Then go back to where you started and unlock the south door and kill the frost-wreathed cloud of shadow to get yet another key (gray iron key). - frost-wreathed cloud of shadow pops: obsidian breastplate, pair of obsidian leg plates, astral gate scrolls (thick parchment scroll), phial of blink (clear liquid), dark gold ring, small black wand (wand of fireballs), midnight-hued strand (strand of twilight).
NOTE: All the keys are no.save.
- In the cubby to the east, wait for the statue of the priest to start talking to you… need 18 wis, answer riddle
- In the cubby back to the west, need 18 int, play chess
- Once those two are good, open the angel door in the middle (touch seal)
- Then you have to do the dex game to the right FIRST. Go into the room ees and flip switches (18 dex) NOTE: In the room above the flip switches, a dagger hilt sometimes loads on the ground there.
