Shrine of Honesty
Written by Kuno

A. Deceit

Now your in a cell, there's a secret door in the cell. Open the secret door and walk to the end of the hall. In this room is a spider on a stone block. This is a statue of a Phase Spider. Touching it will make all the doors phase... execpt for wooden doors. Now run back to the cell and exit. Puch the button on your cell to open the door, then push the button on the other cell to open it also. Run back tothe spider and touch it. Then go back the main hall and get the key off the table. Once again run back to the spider. Back in the main hall unlock the wooden door, then walk through the gate and push the button to open it. Touch the spider one last time. Before you go through the wooden door for the last time get the 2 yellow potions in the other cell and the bag on the barrels around the corner. Now go through the wooden door and the gate. In this room is a cavein, but there is a secret door in here also. Open in and go through, DO NOT TOUCH THE CHEST!!!!!!!!!!!! its a mimic!!! Push the button and then touch the braizer. The statues will start to move. Wait till the ones near the door face each other then open the door. Whew, well that wasn't too hard now was it. On to the next phase of this nasty dungeon. At the end of the hall you can only go left or right. Going left will take you to a HUGE room with lava and no way to cross it. So go right, in this small room are 3 pedastals. Pusht he red button to make a transparent bridge appear over the lava, next push the blue button to get a yellow potion. Lastly push the green button to make a skeleton appear and attack you. When you kill the skeleton take its sword. Now goto the room with the lava. I hope your ready to ahve some fun ^_^. . Walk the bridge to the platform and push the blue button, then push the purple button. Walk the bridge and then ride the lift. The statue that you pass will shoot fireballs at you. At the other platform you'll see several rows of buttons. Press the buttons till you make a set of stairs rise out of the lava. Now climb the stairs and ride the lift to the center platform. Before you get to the platform you need to push the green button on the side of the platform. Once you get to the platform get the yellow potion then press the green button. Ride the lift to the starting platform. Now ride the other lift to the next platform. When you get the platform the lift will go back to the starting platform. Don't worry you can call it back. If you look at the stairs you'll see a sun face, just like the one behind you on the wall. On the wall next to you are some buttons, 2 diamond ones and 3 circle ones, press the diamond ones to turn the statue about a quarter turn and the circle buttons about half of that. Blue turns towards that stairs and Green turns towards the wall. Once you have the sun face on the stairs lined up press the red button to fire a ball at it. When you hit the face the forcefield on the teleporter on the center platform will disappear. Now turn the statue 180 degrees and shoot the face to make the lift return to you. You need to return to the center platform. Enter teleporter. You'll appear in another HUGE room with more lava. Near you is a globe holder. Go to the right and at the end of the walkway you'll see the glyph, which will disappear as you get closer, now push the button and then jump over to the platform. The trick here is to line up the sun block, with the help of the of the buttons on the table, and the statue. Be careful, the little statues will shoot fireballs at you. You'll need to touch the big statue to make it shoot. When you hit the sun face a lift will appear. Ride the lift and enter the teleporter. You'll be taken to a small room. Jump down near the table and touch the mirror, it will fully heal you. Touch the table to recieve a bow, then run to the other side of the room and touch the statue to make some arrows appear on the pedastal. Now shoot the sun face on the wall to make some stairs appear. Climb the stairs to the top and stand on the pressure plate. A sun face will appear on the opposite wall. Shoot that face to make a plank appear and quickly run across. Now enter the teleporter, then ride the lift back to the walkway. Now use the bow to shoot the sun face on the wall to extend the bridge. Jump over and turn the wheel to make the lava lower and expose the other holders and headstones. Now some real fun begins. There are 4 holders and 4 globes that you need to get. 3 of them are in other rooms that you can access by teleporters, the 4th one is in this room. Up near the 3 statues there is a headstone and a chest. Make your way there and touch the headstone, now quickly open the chest and get the red globe. On the ground is a globe holder, put the red globe there and a lift will appear. This lift will take you to the walkway. ride the lift to the top and run back to where the sunface block was. Now drop down and go into the cave back there. Enter the teleporter. you'll appear in a room with 2 statues and 2 chests, yes the chests are mimics. Now near the statues you'll notice that the floor is different, go stand there and face the chests. On the wall a sunface will appear and be moving, take your bow and hit it several times. On the stone block a blue globe will appear. take it and enter the teleporter. Now make your way to where the lift that takes you up is. Touch the head stone near there and head for the teleporter that took you to the room where you got the bow. On the way there you'll see another holder stop there and put tyhe blue globe there. Then touch the headstone and run for the platform where the teleporter is. you'll need to go around it on the left to find the teleporter that takes you to get the green globe. Once you enter the teleporter you'll be in a room with a stone block and a chest, yes a real chest. Push the button on the pedastal and a sunface will appear on the wall you need to shoot it with your bow, after you hit the face it'll jump to a different wall. Keep doing this till another symbol appears on the wall. Shooting this will make the green globe appear. Take the orb and head for the teleporter. Touch the head stone and run for the blue globe holder. Touch the headstone there and head for the main room. Touch the headstone there and head for the room straight ahead. Put the green globe in the holder and enter the teleporter. This room is a maze, but its not difficult. Find the red button and press it. A sun face will appear over the chest. Shooting it will make it move, find it and shoot it again. Once again it will move, shooting it this time will make the yellow orb appear. Don't forget to get the potions outta the chest. Get the yellow orb and enter the teleporter. Now touch the head stone and run for the main room. Take the lift up and place the yellow globe in the holder. Now that the bridge is fully extended walk to the platform. You might want to save the game as your about to get into a fight. Enter the teleporter. You'll appear in the biggest room in this dungeon. In the distant you can see the column. An animation will take over and you'll see a wurm guard sent her pet over to have you for lunch. Hehe, you get to fight a hellhound... I was using the warhammer and it only took one hit to kill it. Once you've kill the hound, stones will appear and make a path to the wurm guard. When you reach her she'll have something to say about killing her pet. Your probably going... I know her from somewhere... well its your old friend Mariah. Yes the Guardian has take over her too. She'll make 2 images of herself. ONLY KILL THE IMAGES!! They are the ones with the shields and swords. After you kill them just run around and wait for the lift to appear. Once the lift appears ride it to the column. Get the glyph and take the lift to the teleporter. Enter the teleporter and you'll be taken to another part of the dungeon. Press the red button on the wall to make the cavein illusion disappear. Run the other way till you reach the outside. Now pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Now on to Moonglow.

B. Moonglow

Well now as you walk out of the dungeon you'll see a note with a knife in it on the entranceway. Its from raven telling you that she'll meet you at the docks. You'll also be stopped by Duncan, a fighter that has lost his dagger and was told that you have it. Get all the info you need form him and don;t forget to tell him that you'll look for his dagger too. Now head for the fire across the water. Up the stairs is the path the Moonglow. When you enter the town you'll want to visit all the homes. At the North agte, which is the one your about to enter, is a boy that will tell you that his father is hurt. Its a lie, and he'll lie to you 2 more times then tell you the truth. Always believe him and you'll be rewarded with some scrolls in the end. His father will want his Journal, which is in a small shack near the docks. anyways, after you enter the town head for the 3 house on the left. This house belongs to Batista. She has the sigil and will give it to you if you will get a shield that she says belongs to her but is being kept by your old friend Mariah. Tell her you'll give her the shield. Mariah's house the the first house on the left. Its also the only one with floating discs inside the house. The room on the left has a trapdoor in the floor, open it and step on the teleporter. Now this room has 3 doors in it, one leads to the shield and the other 2, which are secret, lead to pressure plates that will let you get the shield. The secret doors are to the left and right of the main door. Move the barrels and open the doors. Inside you'll need to put a barrel on the pressure plate. Now when you get the shield, Mariah will have a little conversation with you. And she'll teach you the Restoration Ritual!! Aren't you glad you didn't kill her now!! ^_^. Now take the shield back to Batista and get the sigil. NOw you need to visit Tydus's house. It's the first house on the right near the north gate. He'll tell you that he'll tell you where the lyceaum is if you'll get him the staff of wisdom. He'll tell you that its in a cave to the south. And that it has a statue infront of it. Go through the south gate and turn left. Follow the path and you'll reach the cave. When you enter the cave you'll only find 2 thieves and no staff. Near the cave is a broken boat with a thief and chest. Kill the thief and open the chest with the key lying right next to it. The chest contains magical armor. Go back to Tydus and he'll tell you that he made a mistake, that the staff is in a cave to the north. Go through the north gate and turn left. Follow the path and you'll reach a cave with a gen in a stone. When you enter the cave the entrance will seal itself. Watch out because the statues will shoot fireballs. As you go further in the cave you'll come upon a room with a demon that will explain to you that Tydus summoned it to guard the heartstone, which is the source of Tydus's power. He'll also tell you that if you enter the lair unarmed he'll give it to you. Go ahead and agree, for if you fight him you will lose. Now drop your weapons and take the heartstone, then pick them back up and enter the teleporter. I never found the key to the chests in there so if you happen to find it email me and I'll add it to the walkthru. Now when you go back to Tydus, confront him with the heartstone and he'll try and lie his way out. But in the end he'll make the lyceaum appear. Now push the blue button on the wall to make the lift come down. ride the lift to the top then hop in the sail and ride it to the opening in the lyceaum. Up there the oracle will tell you that to find the mantra you need to look in the heavens when the town is sleeping. The mantra for the shrine is AHM. Now you will need to goto the lyceaum because you need to get the book of truth. Touch the book and it will ask you if your the reason for all the destruction. Answer yes and it will let you take the book. Now that you have the Mantra, Sigil and Glyph its time to head for the shrine. On your way out the south gate, be sure to stop by the house next to Batista and the Magic shop. In the house is a girl that will explain karma. In the magic shop are 4 globes. Touch all 4 and a magic lift will appear. Enter the lift and it will take you to a store room with many yellow potions. Take as many as you want. Now head out the south gate, over the bridge and around the graveyard. You'll see a cave near the graveyard, inside you'll find some goblins. And a binding circle, just kill the goblin and touch the blue globe to open the door. Inside is a fountain that will heal you a little with each drink. Head up and out of the cave, follow the path and you'll come to the shrine. Once you've cleansed the shrine, you might want to perform the newly learned ritual of restoration. After your done head for the docks, you'll see Raven's ship. Hop aboard and talk to her. Go ahead and trust her, she'll give you back your backpack with all your stuff intact. She'll give you a choice of where to go. I chose to goto Minoc.
