Circle the biggest island to south side, and sail north through one of the narrow gaps. You end up in a cove where you can drop the anchor. Once beached, head north to the Castle of Fire. | ||

The | The left side of the castle contains Erethian's room. He will provide the Avatar with background information about the castle, the Tests, and the Shrine of Principle. Opposite of Erethian is a mirror and a cylinder-type object. The Avatar can examine both and discuss them with Erethian. | ||
At the end of the main hallway lies the Shrine of | At the end of the main hallway lies the Shrine of Principle which contains three statues that control the tests. The Avatar may talk to each one to initiate a test. The two Moongates lead to the Test of Love and Test of Courage, left and right respectively. The Test of Love's Moongate is accessed through Erethian's room by opening the wall. The statue for the Test of Truth simply teleports the Avatar and party to the appropriate area. | ||

If the Avatar desires the few treasures in the Test of Truth, the following can be found: | |||
*A Ring of Regeneration just past the metal wall. Caution should be exercised as all the items in the room are trapped. | |||
*A Glass Sword near a teleportation pad. This is to the far north in The Keys of Truth which requires following a river and crossing a draw bridge to enter. Various monsters are locked in cells and the Avatar must obtain each key in success to unlock the way to the Glass Sword (or just use Telekinesis on a switch). | |||
*Six (6) Burst Arrows and a Ring of Protection in a locked chest to the extreme north. Past the glass sword, take the teleportation pad to arrive in a new area. Be cautious of traps and watch for hidden teleportation spots. Keep following the path. Golems stand guard somewhat near the locked chest, but can be avoided completely. | |||

A secret room of treasure can be found during this Test. The top-right corner of the Stone of Castambre contains a lever which is barely visible (one-pixel wide). Clicking on it will open a hidden passage in the hallway. Enter it to find a Firedoom Staff, a Death Scythe, and Glass Swords stored on a corpse. | A secret room of treasure can be found during this Test.

Back in the main hall, talk to Erethian and ask about the "powerful artifact." He will summon some blacksmith equipment and an incomplete sword. Approach Arcadion with the Ether Gem. To free him, equip the gem as a weapon, double-click on it, and target the mirror. The now daemon-gem serves the Avatar with the ability to restore/build-up Mana by partaking of the daemon's power. | Back in the main hall, talk to Erethian and ask about the "powerful artifact."
