-The Glyph (16)
It's at the base of the Column in the room with the Wyrmguard. Go swimming around to the rear of the column and you will find an entrance. Leave Hythloth and finish up.

-The jumping room. (9)

-I found a Chrystal Ball in a room (14, 15)across from another room with iron gates... what does it do?
There is a switch on the far side, it activates the globe as a magnet. The key in the other room will slide towards you.

-Ive gone down a well in Magencia, there are bubbles that allow me to stay alive in front of a locked gate. How the hell do you get past the gate?
Are you talking about the pipe in the water near the shrine? Go in it... Just as the screen does a transition (like a new level is being loaded) Look up, there will be a tunnel that will take you into the rear end of Hythloth Dungeon.

-HOW TO GET OUT OF HYTHLOTH?
For all those frustrated with Hythloth just past the part with the transparent walls (19), you come to a room to the left with a teleporter. Further on there's a setup with a bunch a valves that turn on lights and you have to get all of them on at once.

Thru there there's a room you have to jump down into with a fountain straight out a Alice in wonderland. Drink from it and you are the mini-avatar.

Go thru the little sewer and turn the knob. Now if you're lucky to make it out of there after the place floods. You now get to make your way back thru what I call Ripley's House of Believe It or Not! Because water will be on ceilings turned sideways and the likes. It was extremely confusing and EXTREMELY NOT NECESSARY!!!!

All you have to do to get out of that blasted dungeon is back at the teleporter (19). Everything else I talked about was useless, and save yourself the pain. Once your teleported dive into the water and swim thru the hole. Now you will see a portcullis in one direction. Don't go this way, go the other way. Keep going till you see the screen jump (like you're going out of a dungeon) You will hear differnt music too. Look up at the ceiling and there's a hole up there. It leads straight back to the Shrine of Humility.

-Hythloth is a somewhat tricky dungeon, but like most of the dungeons, it's actually a two-part deal.
You can slide through it, get the Glyph (16) and get out, or you can go on to solve several other puzzles. First off, MAP! You'll find yourself scratching your head at several places and wondering "Now where did I see that?", especially as you do the statues and bases problems. Pay attention to your compass; some problems noted below rely on it.

Second, get the swamp boots (5) as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll run out of cure potions. The swamp boots are over in a large, muck-laden room just to the west of the first intersection (as you've come up the stairs from the underground river (1), where you were teleported after Ambrosia). You'll need to dive in and get poisoned, and swim over to the far southwest side of the room (you can see it to your left as you enter) -- there's a chest on a ledge, with swamp boots. Once you have these, you won't get poisoned by swimming around the rest of the dungeon.

Third, the stone spell is your friend. You can hotlink it to your toolbar and use it to kill wall-climbing spiders or those nasty carnivorous fish that always seem to show up at the worst time. If you see fish in the water, try killing them with your stone spell before you dive in. The first chunk of the dungeon is fairly straightforward: you must find four colored statues and match them with their colored bases. Along the way you'll pull some levers and the like to open various gates, but the statues are key. They're hidden in various places, so you'll have to dive in and swim a lot. Learn to use your camera -- instructions are in the back of your installation guide -- so that you can zoom in/out as needed to make things easier.

The statues are underwater in a room, in a chest, in a gated passageway, and in a water-filled hole under a spiderweb, respectively. Don't forget to get the Glyph before you leave this chunk of the dungeon -- it's underwater behind the column.

Once you get through the four gates of the statues, you'll wind up in a semi-translucent area (17)where you can see through the crystal walls to the sea outside. Just run around a little and you'll find various keys and little bits of treasure. At the end of one hall is a small box on the right-hand wall at about head level; open it and pull the lever to make the wall disappear. By this point, you should've found a teleporter (19) that will take you to a ledge over a water-filled passage; that passage will leave Hythloth right next to the Shrine of Humility.

If you got the Sigil from Katrina, you can just finish that right up, right now -- not a bad idea, since it'll give you an advance and open up second circle spells.

But then you can go back in . . . You may have a purple statue, about which you're wondering. The trick is in a large set of interlocking passages with valve wheels on the walls, which operate various ambient lights. You must turn the wheels in a special combination to get all of the lights on in order to open the gate to the north. This is tough, since some valves will turn off others -- and any time that a valve turns off another light, it turns off its own, too.

Basically, you must get the right combination of valve turns to get through!
Valve #1 is the one on the south side of the northwest stone block (you know, the wall section dividing up this room into corridors).
#2, north side of the southeast block;
Valve #3 is south wall, southwest corner;
#4, north wall, northeast corner;
Valve #5 is the one on the north wall of the northwest corner.
#6, south wall, southeast corner;
#7, east wall, southeast corner;
#8, west wall, southwest corner.

From there, you'll enter a series of passages that will take you to the purple block, the blue block, the blue statue, and several other minor puzzles. The kicker is getting past the light-valve room.

-General Hythloth Help
1.) The colored statues (2, 10 ,12, 13, 18) you find are supposed to be put on the colored platforms ( 4, 9, 11, 15).
2.) Have light with you at all times. Without it, you're going to have a lot of difficulty seeing half the valves and buttons you're supposed to see.
3.) Just because you flip a lever in one room doesn't mean it will do something in that room.
4.) Explore every room. Especially ones with poisonous swamps and long dark rooms with a lot a water and pirana fish.
5.) The entrance to the column is easy to find. It's as easy as swimming. Trust me, you don't have to do anything special to get inside.
6.) When you turn a valve, generally the water level in the room is affected. Could go down, could go up. Whatever it is, its going to be useful. But remember, it's timed.

-More Hythloth
Okay... Hythloth's second half is surprisingly, mostly just a runaround. You will gain nothing except some potions and extraneous unnecessary equipment running the full thing. If you don't feel like it, just jump on the teleporter that is just inside the cavern and head back to the surface.

There are four statues in the second part of Hythloth: Purple, Blue, Orange, and Rust (for lack of a better description, it's more reddish than the orange is.) The purple one is in a chest in the 'glass hallways' (18) you start in.

Here is a mostly complete walk-thru. My apologies for my lack of compass directions! I really should draw a map:

- Go through the glass hallways until you find the chest that isn't locked.(purple statue) (18)

- Go around that room in the corridors to get the key for the other chest. This chest has a winch and handle which opens the gate to Hythloth part two proper.

- To your immediate left is the quick exit. Turning the winch here nets you a key, which unlocks a box at the end of the corridor with a handle that opens the corridor.

- To your right is a room with the orange pedestal. You won't be coming back here until the end.

- Right before the box is another chamber on your left. Again, you don't need to come back here until the end. (Note: There are a lot of reagents in the second half of Hythloth, which is a good reason to run through these areas.)

- The next chamber is divided by four large divider walls, and has two gates leading out. By turning valves on the walls, you activate red and white lights in the chambers. If you don't hear a slamming sound, the lights turned off. A particular sequence is needed to turn all of them on, at which point both gates will open. (This puzzle is very perplexing and frustrating, since it has no explanation and is fairly enigmatic.)

- The left side gate leads you to the Rust Pedestal room. On the other side is a half-flooded U-Corridor in which a predator fish swims. Follow it up the the next chamber.

- The first thing you'll notice upon entering this chamber is a funny sound, like a balloon losing air, or a goblin with some serious gas problems. It may take a moment to realize that you've shrunk! (Aka Alice in Wonderland?) You're standing on a bridge in a large chamber with a floor and tunnel below. A birdbath underneath the bridge is what does the shrinking. Inside the conduit tunnel is a valve, which floods the room with water and releases several predator fish. Quickly swim out and up, taking care to exit the room to reverse the shrinking. (Otherwise your arrows take awhile to kill the fish.)

- As you go back, you'll notice the U-Corridor is flooded entirely. This allows you to go up into another chamber above that was inaccessible before. DO NOT LEAVE THIS AREA UNTIL YOU HAVE THE BLUE STATUE AND HAVE RAISED THE GATE USING THE WINCH. After you have left this area will no longer be accessible.

- After you've run along the next corridor you will find yourself in a large room with various floating stone blocks. Turn the valves to move the blocks. Another valve is against the central part of the room on your right, so move the blocks to reach there first. That valve will put a block in place to the exit. Then make your path. Be sure to jump down to the floor and grab the broadsword on the skeleton, it's an excellent weapon. (Even better than the flaming sword and Shepherd's Crook!)

- You'll eventually find a closed gate and another chamber with a well. Jump down. Spiders will fall down after you, so quickly move forward then turn around to dispatch them. Follow the corridor.

- The Winch room. If you are watching carefully (I missed it the first time and had to reload) you'll see a dark blue statue stuck over in the right corner of the room. Then turn the winch to open the gate back to the upper
