The Adventures of Alundra/Ice Manor

Located just to the South-East of Magyscar and to the South-West of Torla Mountain, this area requires the Fire Wand to gain access to due to the abundance of thorn bushes. The manor itself is only three rooms long, but their difficulty will make it feel much longer.

Getting There
From the Magyscar Warp Gate, or Magyscar itself, head East, taking the exit there. On the next screen, head South-East, burning down the thorn bush there with the Fire Wand. Go through the crack in the cliffs to enter the tree maze, use the image to the right in order to get through it, at the end of it is the entrance to the Ice Manor.

First Room
The first room in Ice Manor contains six pillars and four sunken switches, as well as one raised one, this means that Alundra has to push the pillars in such a way that they settle on the four sunken switches while he stands on the fifth, raised one. The steps below and the two images shown will show how to achieve the desired result.


 * Push the top-left pillar to the right.
 * Push the bottom-left pillar to the right.
 * Push the bottom-left pillar upwards.
 * Push the bottom-right pillar upwards.
 * Push the middle-right pillar to the right.
 * Push the top-right pillar downwards.
 * Push the bottom-left pillar to the left.
 * Push the top-right pillar to the right.
 * Push the middle-right pillar upwards.
 * Push the middle-right pillar to the right.
 * Step on the raised switch.

Second and Third Rooms
The second room in Ice Manor contains four flights of stairs and three exits. The center one leads to three lowered gates, while the two side entrances lead to one four-way switch for each exit, hitting these causes gates to either appear or disappear. Take the left exit first and hit the switch so it is facing downwards, then head through the right door and hit the switch so it is facing downwards, the way through the center passage will now be open.

Fourth Room
The fourth room contains six pillars as arranged in the first room, however, there are no switches on the floor, instead there is a raised platform near the entrance and a higher raised area at the back of the room, which holds the chest containing the Ice Wand. The objective in this room is to push the pillars in such a way that they can be used as stepping stones to reach the chest. The steps below and the accompanying images will show one way to do this.


 * Push the bottom-right pillar upwards.
 * Push the middle-right pillar to the left.
 * Push the bottom-right pillar to the left.
 * Push the middle-left pillar downwards.
 * Push the bottom-left pillar to the right.
 * Push the bottom-left pillar upwards.
 * Push the bottom-left pillar to the left.
 * Push the bottom-left pillar upwards.
 * Push the top-right pillar to the left.
 * Push the top-right pillar downwards.

At this point it is possible to jump on the raised platform and use the pillars to reach the Ice Wand.
