 There's little time to catch your breath in your new surroundings. Before you can get your bearings, you're attacked from all sides by several Gargoyles, Golems and an Undead Warrior. Once you have cleared them all out and you can hear your heart pumping in your chest, you can wind your way around either of the circular halls leading to an outside courtyard area.
 Once you find the only door that doesn't require a key, you'll find it opens to another and then another door. Kill the Gargoyle wating behind that one, then go through another door that leads to a bright gray room with two Golems to greet you. All the while you're dispatching them, axes seem to fly out of the wall ahead with deadly accuracy. An Undead Warrior or two are tossing axes at you from behind a false wall. Avoid them and keep firing at the point where the axes emanate until they fire at you no more.
On the right side of the entrance to that room is a secret door that leads around to where the Undead Warriors were hiding. Get the Tome of Power there.
Go back down and through the hall to your right. Kill the Gargoyle if he remained at the far side of the hall during the previous conflagration. You'll see a room filled with square columns on your right. First wind your way to the right and retrieve the Crossbow in an alcove, which opens two rooms on either side of you filled with Gargoyles. Use your Crossbow on them to make them squishy. Go into the room filled with several columns, kill the Gargoyles and flip the switch in the alcove nestled in the corner. You'll hear something open in the distance.
Go back out, follow the path around to the right and pick up the Silver Shield. This opens a door full of Golems which you'll have to dispense with. Exiting that alcove opens a door containing Undead Warriors. After killing them, move forward into the room that contained them, and a group of Gargoyles will emerge from a door that you've triggered. Dispatch them quickly, go to your left and a Gargoyle will attack you from a hall to your right. Kill him and make your way down that hall. There's a room to your right with more pesky Gargoyles to kill.
As you continue forward, kill the Gargoyles that greet you from the room that opened when you flipped the switch. Retrieve the Gold Key from behind some barrels and some blue Dragon's Claw orbs.
As you make your way down the stairs, an area opens containing a lot of Golems. Back up and wipe them out from a distance, then continue around the passage, kill a Gargoyle and the door ahead of you opens back out to the outside courtyard.
Walk back over to the bottom part of the dungeon you started out in. The red ceiling barrier has risen to reveal the Claw, some ammo and a Quartz Flask. Grab the goodies before the red ceiling lowers to crush you.
Make your way around to the Gold Door, open it, kill a Gargoyle, walk around and kill three Undead Warriors and another Gargoyle. Pick up some goodies lying around you along the way.
Before you come to a door on your left, you'll notice a dark section of the wall. Try it to reveal a secret room containing a Shadowsphere and some Blue Vials. As soon as you retrieve it, a wall opens and some Gargoyles emerge. Kill them before they do damage to you and make your way back out and around to the door on your left.
Open the door to a hallway with golden walls, leading
to a room with brackish goo, filled with explosive green Pods. You'll notice the
Blue Door on your left which you can't open for now. When Gargoyles come towards
you, shoot a green Pod and watch the chain reaction take them out. This is a trick
from which you will benefit again later.
Don't go into the toxic goo, but instead make your way around to your right. Take out three Undead Warriors, open the door behind them, follow the passage around to the left and open up a secret door straight ahead.
Kill two Gargoyles, step inside to find the Gauntlets and a Ring of Invincibility. Go back out and through a slender hallway to your right lined with several Time Bomb of the Ancients artifacts. Follow the Bombs and kill the Undead Warriors at the end of that path. Pick up the Map Scroll. Kill the wandering Golems that emerged from an alcove that opened behind you.
Make your way back out of the hallway, shoot the remaining
green Pods at the far side across from the brackish ooze and run across to the
other side.
Several Gargoyles will attack you. Use your Tomed Crossbow on them for good measure. Open the first wooden door as you make your way around. Shoot a green Pod to cause a chain reaction that wipes out the Gargoyles within.
Walk inside to trigger the middle ceiling portion and nab the Quartz Flasks before it crushes you. Go back out the other door, continue to your right down the hall and open the door on your right. Use your Shadowsphere to protect you, enter the room and easily kill the Undead Warriors who can't aim at you and the Golems who can't take advantage of their element of close quarters.
Inside you'll find the Green Key, a Tome of Power and some other goodies. Back outside the room, meander down the hall, kill several Golems and flip the switch at the end of the hall. This opens a door to another hall with some Gargoyles.
After you kill all of the Gargoyles throughout the hall, you'll notice a torch burning brightly. Across from it is a secret door. Open it, walk down to the steps, kill the Gargoyle and retrieve the Wings of Wrath. Go back outside, turn right and continue down the hall.
There's a door with three Raven symbols ahead of you. Open it and kill the Golems and Gargoyles that emerge from opened alcoves on either side of you. Open the door with one Raven symbol, kill the Gargoyle and follow a ledge outside. Wander around to the wall at the end of the path, which lowers as you walk up to it. Walk over it and ride it back up so you can get to the goodies on top of the ledge.
Jump down to the Green Door ahead, open it and wander around killing Golems. At the end of the hall you'll find a Blue Key. As you pick it up, you find yourself in darkness, with Golems and Undead Warriors attacking you all around. Kill them and obtain the Bag of Holding from the opened alcove that contained the Undead Warriors.
On the left side of the alcove, a secret wall opens to your touch, revealing a big room with lots of Gargoyles scattered throughout. After you kill them and wander around the hall at the far end, the wall wil open up leading back out to the golden hallway.
Head back to your right, cross the gray gook and enter
the Blue Door. Kill the Golem inside and make your way down the steps, meeting
up with and killing a couple more Golems. You'll find a small blue door. Open
it, kill the Gargoyle inside and flip the Blue Switch.
