Alternate Universe 2 of 7
| A | arrival at/exit from Gelidia | |
I | icekeep | | O | outpost |
Steps to solving Gelidia:
- Go to the outpost and read the diary. Get the name "Alendar" (not really
necessary, but the story is fun).
- Go to the Icekeep (Note: It is unnecessary to venture into the 2nd level
of the Ice keep) and on the first level, go to Northeast corner.
- Cast the following spells to get rid of the shimmering curtain:
"LEVI", "ANMA", "PHDO".
- Enter the passage and go to 4th level of the white tower. Kill the six white wizards and get the lens.
- Return to the Ice keep ("APAR" works best to get to the passageway).
- Go to the Southeast corner and cast the following spells to dispel the
black wall: "GRRE", "SHSP", "FEAR", "SUEL", and "SPBI".
- Go to the 4th level, bump off the 5 black wizards, and get the lens.
- Go back to the Northwest corner of the Ice keep.
- Cast the following spells to dispel the creature: "INWO", "WIHE",
"FOFO", and "INVI".
- Enter the grey tower, go to 4th level, and blow away the seven grey wizards.
- Get the lens and exit back to the Ice keep.
- Go to the white marble slab and put all three lens' into it. A downward passage will appear.
- Get the wand and the sphere on the 2nd level of the Ice dungeon.
- Get back to worn ground and go back to the Skara Brae review board.
