Q: Where Am I?
(Understanding the
Burrick caves)
A: There is one main
Burrick cave, with 4
entrances/exits leading
to/from it.
1 & 2)(fig. 1)
Turn
right at the bottom of
the board, drop down the
hole (fig.2), and find this
room (fig.3) with all the
fire arrows you will need
for the Mystic Soul
puzzle. The floor traps are
marked with a red dot.
When you leave this
room and go back
through the tunnel you
will emerge at the 2nd
entrance/exit (fig.4).
Fig.5 is the view from the
main cave.

The third passage
(fig.6) leads to a system
of stone tunnels (it is to
the immediate right of
the passage in fig.5). It
leads to a room with
some water arrows (fig.7)
and little else. There is
also a little bit of loot in
this system.

cave (fig.9).

Q: Where is the Mystic's
Heart (or, why is that
door locked?)
A: On Normal and Hard
settings, there is a round
room with a Burrick
guarding a locked door.
This door is non-existent
in the Expert setting
(fig.10) and is in fact the
way to the Mystic's Heart.
To get to this area, use
the ladder at the top of
the main ramp (fig.11).
Q: How do I get past the
room with the beams and
energy bolts?
A: This is one of the
toughest puzzles in the
game. Make sure to
quicksave before you
attempt the jumping and
falling in this room. The
shot below (fig.12)
shows a good series of
jump points to the
bottom, the second being
the most difficult.

Q: How do I make it
through the statue room
(fig.13) to get to the
Mystic's Heart?
A: The trick is not to
walk directly in front of
the statues, fig.14 shows a
route that works well.
Beware the Haunt in the
main room once you
beat the statues.

Q: I'm trapped in the
Marad Tomb and can't
seem to jump back onto
the rope! What do I do?
(fig.14)
A: This is a5known bug in
the game. Simply shoot
another rope arrow into
the ceiling and climb out.
For some reason, you
often cannot re-climb
the rope you used to
climb into the tomb.

Q: What are the 'Golden
Bones?'
A: The Golden Bones
consist of two leg bones,
two arm bones, and a
skull, all solid gold. They
are scattered throughout
the Bonehoard (for
specific locations check
out the Bonehoard
Walkthrough). When
placed in the sarcophagus
(fig. 16) below the
Hammer Shrine (adjacent
to the Mystic Soul
zombie room), they
cause several weapons and
tools to appear on either
side of room. One leg
bone and the skull are
already in the room near
the sarcophagus.

Q: How do I open those
four metal doors in the
floor?
A: To get to the Mysitic's
Soul, you need to find
the round room with the
metal doors in the floor.
Light the 5 torches
around the room (fig.17).
This opens the floor
hatch, as well as the
surrounding rooms which
contains a slew of
zombies.
