 You start out facing the docks outside. Kill all of the red flying Gargoyles in
the room with your default weapon, the Elvenwand. There is a nonessential secret
room containing a Quartz Flask, a Silver Shield and
a Gargoyle in the far left corner behind some barrels, if your back is to the
docks outside. Obtain any additional Blue Vials and Elvenwand ammo lying around
that you may need before proceeding outside to the docks.
 Go right and follow the path around the water. There are a few Gargoyles guarding
a switch. Dispense with them, flip the switch and grab the Gold Key.
Return to the room from whence you came, open the gold door and kill the big lumbering
Golem in your way. Kill the Gargoyle in the alcove above you to your left while
you're at it.
Notice the Crossbow that rests above you to your right.
Go down the steps, collecting ammo as needed. At the bottom, two Golems will attack
you from either side. Dispatch them and proceed to open the door in front of you.
Inside is a door to Gauntlets and to your right is a long hall, where you'll see
a Gargoyle hovering in the distance. Go ahead and kill it. Open the door, kill
the Golem and grab the Gauntlets to the sound of heretical laughter.
Investigate another door to your left, revealing more flying red vermine. Kill
them before they set their claws on you and collect more ammo lying about.
Exit out of the door ahead. You'll find more doors facing you in the hallway.
Golems will be waiting for you, so kill them, collect more ammo, and head back
down the hallway. You'll come to a big room with an outside view of the water
and mountains beyond. After killing more Gargoyles and Golems, you can take a
closer look outside to see a portal at the far end of the water, big torches and
a barred opening.
Turn around to see more stairs on the left. Before proceeding, make note of the
wall that separates the stairs on your right from which you entered this room
and the stairs on your left to which you're leaving. You will be returning to
this room soon enough to find what has changed.
Take the steps to your left and flip the switch when you get to the top. This
opens a doorway in front of you. A hint of green arrows kindles your desire for
more powerful weaponry. You recall the Crossbow that dangled out of reach.
You're tempted to pick up the green arrows and jump down to follow the obvious
path before you. But you noticed a bird symbol on the wall before the switch you
just flipped. Upon closer inspection, a secret passage is revealed. Go through
it and up the steps. Retrieve the Crossbow to the right, then turn around and
follow the twisting path to the left, until you find yourself on the ledges that
overlook the docks. Grab the Tome of Power, nick some more arrows and turn around
to follow the path to fight a couple of Golems. One shot at close range destroys
each.
Open the door to lead you back to the room with a view. This time there is a portal
between the two stairways. Enter it, but be prepared for a Golem attacking you
on the other side. You're now outside. Skim along the water, fighting the currents
to collect goodies. Battle it out with two skeletons with armor and axes, Undead
Warriors. Grab the Bag of Holding, which increases the capacity of your inventory.
Enter the far portal and you're back at the docks.
You remember the obvious path that opened when you flipped the switch, but which
you didn't follow. Pick up some stray vials and ammo as you retrace your steps
in the quiet of vanquished foes. Making your way back, you enter the doorway and
your path turns left, with more green arrows and Golems to greet you. Suddenly,
more stairs arise, carrying you up to meet a n Undead Warrior. Defeat him and
a satchel or arrows and new door reward you. Turn to your left and kill the Gargoyle.
Open the Blue Door and kill the Golem that greets you. Enter and flip the Blue
Switch.
