Chamber of the Crystal Golem
![]() |
n the King's Court from the Palace Entrance, go right through the archway into the 4-way intersection. Make a left and an immediate right after the archway to The Shoppe (Image 1). Go inside and upstairs to the second floor where a chest sits at the foot of a bed in front of a recessed wall. Break the chest and strike the wall to open and enter the Altar of The Brotherhood of Hunger (Image 2). Approach the altar to learn your quest and where it starts (at the Stables, in the forge). Leave the Shoppe and make a right to the entrance to the Stables, enter.
Jump up the hay bails at the start on the left to the upper ledge, walk around to the entrance, down the stone ramps to the forge. Go upstairs and find a red button beside the fireplace (Image 3). Push the button to swivel the fireplace and enter the hidden loft with many crates. Behind the crate on the right against the far wall is the Stables Key (Image 4). Grab it and leave the hidden area, leave the forge, and go right to where the hay is stacked. Take the ladder on your left to the loft, then take the door at the top of the ladder, up the ramps into the first room on the left (Image 5). Go into the door on your left and find a bedroom with bunk bed (Image 6). Climb up on the bed with the ladder and hop across to the mural to get a Staff of Ovinomancer (Secret #1/Image 7).
Jump down and leave the bedroom, left out of the door to the closed stables door in the small corridor (Image 8). Open the stables door and find a carpet covering a trap door in the floor. Destroy the carpet to open the trap door and smash through the wood barrier to the double doors. Go through the doors and find a switch on the wall to your left (Image 9). Throw the switch and collect the sand from the nearby trough (Image 10). Hop in the trough, then on the workbench, then into the closed stable to get a Power Cube (Secret #2).
Leave the Stable and go right, then left up a large ramp of hay through a previously barred archway. Walk past the stacked hay to the forge where you dug up the Treasury Key. Walk up to the forge behind the anvil to heat the sand to glass (Image 11). Pick up the glass and leave the forge, going to the exit in the stone wall outside, ahead to the left. Go up the ramps to the start of the Stables and drop down, entering the King's Court entrance. Return to the Inner Courtyard entrance and enter, then in the Inner Courtyard, make a right to a shop and go upstairs (Image 12). Crouch into the fireplace, hop up the steps in the wall, crouch through the upper opening and find the Grindstone (Image 13). Approach the grindstone to smooth the glass to a Lens of Seeing. The lens will be in the doorway by the grindstone as you leave (Image 14). Get the armor in the corner by the grindstone (Secret #3).
Leave this shop and go to the guillotine, going through the archway on the right. Clear out the Tavern, then return to the ramp on your left as you head back toward the guillotine (Image 15). Climb the ramps and go left across a stone bridge, through a door and right up stairs to defeat a herd of horshacks. Break the left vase on the upper ledge at the back of the room to get an urn. Go through the teleporter behind the transparent mural (Iamge 16), go through the Crystal Arch (Image 17) to gain the ability to defeat the Crystal Golem (if you don't do this, you'll never defeat him). Leave through the same teleporter and go out to the stone bridge, dropping off to the right to get some glyphs behind explosive barrels (Secret #4).
Turn around and follow the walk to the Tombmaker's Shop, where Anton's grave lies in the corner. Go upstairs to the bedroom on the left and find a small switch next to a bookcase on the left wall (Image 18). Push the switch to open the bookcase and climb inside, following the tunnel down ramps to a door. Go through the door, make a left through another door, then right through a large archway into a room with a bloody table (Image 19). Jump on the table to open the grate above near the guillotine. Find Anton's letter in the cell to the left about the Forgotten Chapel that seems a bit late now. Go across the room to the doors under the mural opening to a teleporter (Image 20).
Enter the teleporter prepared to stomp the Crystal Golem, then enter the red skull teleporter to match up against Famine who you must defeat head-on. The only advice I can give to defeat him is to scour the previous levels for all the mana and artifacts you missed, then use Repulsion against his Drain attacks.
