the first challenging part is as you use the first Gold Key and ascend up the central staircase to Grey Temple.

GREY TEMPLE BATTLE

as you enter the first room, you see barrels and nothing else, as you move into the middle of the room a secret door opens!

Move to the opening passageway, there is a secret button there, this opens a Bomb Stash further in, but it also opens a SAFE CHAMBER in the first room.

Move to the SAFE CHAMBER where you can fight enemies without being overwhelmed, you just close the chamber's door and recover when you need to.

Jumping down the pit could be a mistake because the gate across the first room's exit is still closed, OPEN IT in the treasure room below using the following method:

Find the alcove where you picked up the sling, place an item onto the alcove, a secret chamber opens nearby revealing a lever which releases the gate allowing you back into the first room.

GREY TEMPLE BATTLE
this is a heavy going fight alright but delivers you to Teleporter Room Two and an important item for your Sorcerer!

This is the first time that you see the teleporter that moves you into the Blue Stones, remember where it is AND how to deactivate it, 1) there is a deactivation button the other side of the teleporter 2) the lever mentioned above deactivates the teleporter as well as opening the gate!

GEAR KEY SECURITY SYSTEM

there are four gear locks, each time a gear key is used, the Blue Stones front gates could close.

So what do you do if you get back to the Blue Stones with 1 team member alive and need your crew restoring? Shock! The gates are closed!

A) TELEPORTER ROOM ONE has a passageway that leads to the back of the Blue Stones, check it!! this may route you into the Blue Stones a different way.

B) TELEPORTER ROOM TWO has a teleporter that moves you into the back of the Blue Stones, but PROBLEM, the gate is closed in the arrival chamber, I can't get out, solution: place an item into the alcove, the gate opens.


PROBLEM AFTER USING TELEPORTER ROOM TWO the teleporter that moves you into the back of the Blue Stones, I returned to the teleporter room later, that teleporter is still activated, it is blocking me from entering the room to use other teleporters!

SOLUTION :: enter WARDENS TEMPLE from the central staircase, walk straight ahead to the illuminated gates that have statues at the edges. Stop at the gates, now look at the wall for a secret button, this opens a passageway that leads to a pit. The pit drops you into the middle of TELEPORTER ROOM TWO.
Problem! There is a gate across the pit. SOLUTION return later, it opens at a certain stage in the game!

FOOD SHORTAGE

My team have run out of food! SOLUTION: always take food wherever you see it, never pass up on an opportunity to take food for your team, e.g. right at the start of the game. Each teleporter room has a door that is opened by a prison key, prison keys always = FOOD, so if you find a prison key, this is a very valuable key, use it as soon as possible!

Secret buttons on walls could reveal bomb stashes, these stashes sometimes include small amounts of food as well. There are some great secret buttons in the pits below the CUBES LEVEL, two secret buttons there (at opposite ends) provide very well worthwhile secret passageways!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
always fully explore new areas and if you get sidetracked, remember to return and continue exploration, if in doubt, return to TELEPORTER ROOMS that previously had locked teleporters, these may now be unlocked!

FINAL AMBITION?

Your final ambition is to find the three gems, blue and red and ultimately the green which unlocks the gate to the FINAL LEVEL, the gate is on LEVEL 1 with the wording "Green Gem" next to it - insert the Green Gem and you have finished the game!
