Buy the book about Dwarven Artifacts from the bookstore. Climb up the
mountains and kill some guards. When you get to the door, go into the cave
behind it, and kill another guard. By the dwarven crossbow is anothe door.
Open the door by translating the words with your dwarven book. Inside you
will find two dead guards, don't walk on the pressure plates, or you will end
up just like them. Jump onto the broken pillars on the floor and jump the
ledge along the wall. Once your in the tunnel, jump over the hole in the
floor, until you get to a room where there are railroad tracks above and a
cart on th floor. Climb up on the cart, and onto the railroad tracks. Jump
across to the otherside, and turn left. Inside is huge room with a waterfall,
two golden statues, and two guards. Kill the guards and look around the room.
Notice the broken section and the door above it. Don't worry, you can't get
to it, but there are several potions behind the broken section. To open the
other two doors, stand on the pressure plate and the golden statues should
move. Watch out for that sword, man! Inside one room, you have to jump
across a chasm, jump across another chasm, swing on a rope, and turn a lever
to open a locked door. To swing on ropes, just use the right and left arrow
keys and then jump. Go back to the main room. open the other door, with
pressure plate, and swing on the rope, and exit through the door you opened.
Inside is a big dwarven machine, drop down and kill the little robot there.
You may also notice a chasm you can't jump across. Hang from the ledge, drop
down, jump foward to anothe ledge, jump on the pipe and then you made it
across. Go to the end of the hallway, jump down, kill the guard, and climb up
the rope. You may come to a room with a several golden crossbows and a broken
bridge. To get across shot the crossbow to the ledge on the other side. Now
walk the pipes to the arrow shaft and jump onto to it. Jump up to the ledge
and you can make it across.
Beettle Puzzle Blues
You will come into this room you will notice two guards impaled on the wall.
Ouch, that's gotta hurt! And a giant beetle. Must be there god or somehting?
Stand on the pressure plate and the beetle should move. Stand on it again,
and it should swing the head away from you. Now run to the back, climb up and
jump on the head, once there, step backwards and fall off the head. Wow a
transformer! The head should move, revealing a man-like head. Second, run
back and jump on the pressure plate again, this should swing the bettle back
around until the head is facing you and the legs are away from you. Go back,
and jump on the chain facing the legs. Aaaaah .... a giant beettle man!
Third, run back to the pressure plate again until the bettle is standing
upright on it's legs. Fourth, run to the platforms on the side and jump on
those green things sticking out of his chest, this should releease his arms.
They should be holding the chains on each side now. Run back to the pressure
plate, but be carefull remember those guards impaled on the walls. They
didn't just run into those spikes! Fifth, turn the bettle again with the
pressure plate, until it is laying flat down. Run over to the chain and pull
it! this should make the legs fold back up and make the arms fall down. I
wonder if he is dead? Sixth, reactive the legs and spin the beetle back up
until he is standing upright again. This time his arms should be holding the
middle chain and the door exiting the area should open. Now onto the next
room.
Pipe Puzzle Nightmares
Why did I call this Pipe Puzzle Nightmares? Just for the very fact, that if
you don't read this spoiler it will keep you up for nights on end. The First
thing to do is turn the machine on in the back, I did'd do this at first and
spent alot of wasted time running around and turning wheels. In the back, you
will see a small golden building surrounded by lava, jump across to it and
turn the wheel. Wow....steam power! Second, run aroundthe ruins and turn all
the wheels, you will notice that they turn the pipes. Connect the pipes so
that they connect to the center pipe by the stairs as you first come in. Keep
turning the wheels until you can get two of the pedistals to lay down flat and
the one above the stairs. Third, jump onto the golden building in the back,
and jump your way across the pesidals until you get to the walkway above the
stairs. run to the two towers and turn the wheels there, this should conect
the pipes to the rest of the ruins. Jump back down. Fourth, is to go back and
redo everything that you have already done. Sound familiar? It should, just
like the beettle puzzle. One the right is a map of the puzzle, in the tower,
turn the pipes until they look just like the map. Once you have done it
right, you should see a little movie about some pedesials lowering in another
room. Now leave the way you came in, back through the door. When you get to
the room where the pesdials are, the ones you saw in the movie, jump on them.
Jump across until you reach the chain hanging from the ceiling. Swing arcoss
to the balacony and door. Inside this is room is a giant Dwarven Robot. To
kill it, jump down where it is at. And swing your sword at his left ankle.
There should be a green button there, just hit it, and the robot should come
tumbling down around you. Inside is the dwarven gear you need to fix the
telescope at the Observatory.
